Chapter 1116 First Snow
This year's Gold Award Festival was simple due to the death of Concubine Huitai.
The queen mother was not very happy. She felt that she was a dignified queen mother and was unhappy for the simpleness of a concubine.
The main reason is that when she served Emperor Kangxi, Concubine Huitai kept suppressing her.
Even later, she gave birth to so many children, and her position was as concubine as Concubine Huitai.
But his background is too low, and Huifei herself has an extra status.
So, it can be said that for decades, Concubine Huitai has been suppressing her.
Only after she became the queen mother did she change.
Now, she is very unhappy to bow her head to Concubine Huitai.
However, if the emperor had to make such arrangements, she could only sulk.
Ye Zao doesn't matter. Concubine Huitai is an elder. Now the emperor's arrangement is not for her.
But for the sake of Prince Zhi.
This time, from the death of Concubine Huitai to the present, the Fourth Master has given Prince Zhi enough face.
Prince Zhi is really grateful.
I am afraid that in the future, I will be more willing to serve the emperor.
The Gold Award Festival is just one day, and it is simple, so I passed without much fatigue.
On October 14th, the first snow fell. The weather suddenly became cold.
The snow particles hit people with flapping sounds. It seems that they are going to go down.
Ye Zao stood in front of the window wearing a cloak and looked outside: "This particle will last longer under the snow."
"Yes, it would be great if it turned into Goose Feather Snow later. If it didn't turn, I'm afraid it would be the next day?" Coral also looked outside.
"Tell me to make more mutton soup in the kitchen and drink some for the eunuchs who cleaned it." Ye Zao said: "Twist a few more pieces of ginger inside."
"Master, your intention is good, but... the young people are not good enough. I'm afraid I'll be lucky when I drink a bowl of broth," Zi Yu asked whispered.
Ye Zao raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Yes, if I don’t eat well all year round, I will suddenly drink a bowl of broth, and I’m afraid I will have diarrhea.
"Then let's make some vegetarian soup in the kitchen, and add some meat to a small amount. Just spicy soup, that's good. Make some butter tea. The eunuchs who ask to sweep the snow and drink some of the palace maids who do rough work."
"Oh, I'll go now." Zi Yufu said.
"Call the eunuchs, girls should not catch a cold." Ye Zao waved his hand.
Zi Yu said aloof and went out to give orders.
When I came back, I said someone had gone and thanked Ye Zao again.
"I'll ask someone to go to the Qiantou Royal Kitchen to give me some instructions, put a few hot pots in the algae garden and let the children eat well." Ye Zao said again.
Zi Yu responded and went out to give the order.
"Master, it's better to manage the windows and don't catch a cold." Coral advised.
"I don't listen to you this time. I want to go out. Just think about how to wear it for me." Ye Zao looked at her with a smile.
Coral was a little worried and knew that it could not be stopped, so she had to think about how to wear it for her master.
Finally, Ye Zao was dressed in a lotus-colored flag outfit, wearing a double-breasted jacket on the outside, all of which were furry. He changed into a deer-skin boot with fur inside and a leathery one on the outside. He felt warm after just wearing it in.
The skin on the outside is specially made and will be wet, but it will not easily get water.
I'm afraid I won't make it wet if I walk in the snow all night.
The white cloak with teeth is spliced with rabbit hair, and the outside is a large white peony embroidered, which looks very beautiful.
Just put it on Ye Zao like this and felt heavy.
"I'm afraid this dress is about ten pounds!" Ye Zao frowned.
"Master, you can't say you don't wear it." Coral was worried.
"I don't have a grudge against myself." Ye Zao nodded.
Coral smiled and agreed, put it on, and brought another sleeve to wear it for her.
"Forget this..." Ye Zao shook his head: "Forget it if you have any small hand stove."
Coral thought about it and agreed. The clothes in winter have long sleeves, so it’s better to hold the hand stove and protect your fingers, so your wrists won’t catch a cold.
Then Ye Zao took out a purple gold hand stove with a beauty carved.
I was dressed up so I went out.
Before leaving, Ye Zao took out a pair of earrings from the box on the dressing table and put them on.
This was made by herself when she was fine. She was wrapped in snow-white rabbit fur and wore two beads.
The furry fell on her ears, which matched her very well with Jin'er's outfit. She also made her look playful, cute and young.
After leaving Biyue Tower, the pavilion held an umbrella and Ye Zao walked slowly.
When I left the yard, I found that the snow scene in the garden was incredibly beautiful.
There are white everywhere, but because of the different scenery, many places look beautiful.
I faintly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus: "There are still osmanthus?"
"If you want to go back to the master, we already have two osmanthus trees outside. We have good care of them, but there are actually flowers. This time we are covered by snow, I'm afraid there will be no more." Bai Yu said.
“It’s really rare.”
Ye Zao nodded and continued to walk forward.
When I arrived at Houhu Lake, I held the hand of the small pavilion and went west.
Outside Bitong Academy, there is a forest of apricot blossoms, which has now become a snow forest.
Ye Zao thought, it would be great if he could draw or had a camera.
Unfortunately, this beautiful scenery can only be seen and cannot be recorded.
Walking further forward, there is an octagonal pavilion in the sky above and below, and there are people inside.
Before Ye Zao could see clearly, he saw that the man brought him down.
From afar, I am blessed with the snow.
After taking a few steps, I saw Concubine Xi.
She only brought a girl and was waiting here. At this moment, it was difficult to hold an umbrella, and there were snowflakes on her head.
Ye Zao waved his hand: "Get up and talk in the pavilion."
Concubine Xi agreed and followed Ye Zao with her slave.
She just came out for a walk casually, but she really didn't expect to meet the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine did not ask anyone to clear the road.
"It's rare to meet you." Ye Zao sat down and said.
"I don't know if I will meet the Empress, but I will disturb the Empress." Concubine Xi said.
"Sit down, I'll look at the scenery, you can see the scenery too, there's nothing to disturb." Ye Zao stretched out his hand and made a sitting gesture.
Concubine Xi thanked her and sat opposite Ye Zao.
This is a round table, and it is hard for her to choose.
Soon, some servants brought snacks and tea in the snow. Whether to eat or drink or not is the master's business, but the masters rest here, so it's hard not to bring them.
Ye Zao looked at Concubine Xi. She was wearing a lake blue flag dress and a cloak. She was in good spirits and had a good face.
Yejua gently scraped the cup with the lid of the teacup.
There was no friendship between them. Apart from paying tribute to her every time, she didn't meet Concubine Xi very much.
It's rare to meet, and there are some things... I'm going to say.
"Speaking of this, when I was still in the secret residence, you were the princess and I was the concubine." Ye Zao chose one, and the topic that made people unable to be calm began.
Concubine Xi was indeed stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "That's all in the past, and the Empress was unable to help at that time. If it were a talent show, maybe you were the concubine."
