"After reading for a long time, my eyes became a little sore, so I wanted to go out and have a look."
Emperor Kangxi asked, "What books is my beloved concubine reading?"
Youqing replied, "I remembered the travelogue I was reading last night, even though I didn't finish it."
"Have you finished watching now?"
"I've finished reading it."
That evening, Emperor Kangxi had planned to have a hot pot with two separate broths, but he forgot to give the order. So the kitchen prepared some food and sent it over. The food was hot and freshly cooked, and it wasn't bad at all. Kangxi then forgot all about the hot pot.
That night, after a night of passion, Youqing fell into a deep sleep. Kangxi pondered that Jiangxuexuan seemed a bit small and far from Qianqinggong. He remembered that the main hall of Yongshougong seemed to be empty.
The next day, when Youxing woke up, Kangxi was gone, and she had already gotten used to his way of doing things.
When Sangzhu came in to serve, she said, "My lady, it snowed all night yesterday and only stopped this morning."
Youqing: "Was it snowing as heavily all night as it did yesterday afternoon?"
Sangzhu nodded: "Yes, when I woke up this morning, I saw that the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of mud, which made my eyes hurt. Zhu Qiao and Li Zhi only had time to sweep a path in the middle. The unswept areas were up to my knees."
Youqing was born in the modern era in a place where the north and south meet. She went to university in a city not far from her home and worked in the same city. Although she could see snow every year, it was usually just a thin layer. Even if it snowed heavily, it would only be up to her ankles. She had never seen snow as heavy as her knees; she had only seen it on Douyin (TikTok).
"That's quite a rare sight indeed."
After getting dressed and having a rather late breakfast, I opened the door and was greeted by a gust of cold wind. I saw Zhu Qiao and Li Zhi clearing away the snow in the yard.
The two worked very quickly, and Youqing noticed that they had already finished half of it.
Youqing said to Chengying and Sangzhu, "We have nothing to do today, let's build a snowman together!"
Cheng Ying and Sang Zhu looked troubled.
Sangzhu said, "My lady, the snow is still very cold. If you want to see it, I will pile it up for you. You must not do it yourself."
