The capital city was very cold in December, and the first snow of the year finally fell. The Forbidden City was covered with golden tiles and white snow, and red walls and silver clothes. Yinzhen stopped to look at the snowy scene in front of him, feeling somewhat comfortable and relaxed.

When it snowed, he would always think of the time when he and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Brothers were in their mother's palace when they were young. The three brothers would play in the snow despite their mother's objections. In a blink of an eye, they were no longer at the age where they would get excited when they saw snow.

When the weather got cold, Deyin became even less willing to go out. She stayed in Qingyin Pavilion all day, either reading a book or taking out the guqin that Yinzhen gave her and playing with it to pass the time.

Yinzhen sent someone to tell her today that he would come to see her when he had time. The messenger arrived around noon. Deyin asked Luwu to prepare lunch and was about to enjoy it when Yinzhen came in. She was a little surprised that he came so soon today.

Deyin stood up and took the cloak that Yinzhen had taken off. When she saw the snowflakes that had fallen on it and had not completely disappeared, her eyes lit up: "Master, is it snowing outside?"

Yinzhen rubbed his hands which were a little red from the cold and said: "Yes, this is the first one of the year."

Deyin brought bowls and chopsticks to Yinzhen. The charcoal fire in the room was burning brightly, making the whole room warm. His appetite also improved a lot during the meal.

Yinzhen picked out the sweet and sour spare ribs and put them all into Deyin's bowl, filling it up: "Eat more. Qingxuan said that her appetite has been poor these days and she has lost weight."

Deyin touched her face and thought to herself that someone had said before that her face had become rounder. I really can’t figure it out. He keeps giving her a different explanation every day.

Yinzhen saw her expression of disbelief, and Deyin curled her lips: "Master, I'm not thin at all. Didn't you say before that my face got rounder?"

This girl really holds a grudge. She may not bring up the compliments she receives, but she will remember them clearly when someone occasionally teases her.

Yinzhen was the first to give in: "Okay, okay, I still need to eat more to replenish my body."

It was the first snow today, and the snow was so heavy that it had started to pile up outside the house. After dinner, Deyin pulled Yinzhen out.

"Luwu, take out the cloak and put it on your master." Before Yinzhen could get the cloak for her, he was pulled out. There was no heating outside, and it was freezing cold. He hurriedly shouted to Luwu to find a thick cloak.

Deyin was from the south and had never seen such heavy snow before. He was so excited that he opened his mouth to catch the snowflakes and wanted to taste what the snow tasted like.

It was unclear whether Yinzhen should laugh or not when he heard Deyin's behavior. When he was happy, he acted like a child, just like his thirteenth brother when he was a child. When it snowed, he would open his mouth to catch the snowflakes.

Yinzhen took the cloak from Luwu and quickly put it on her to prevent the cold she had just recovered from getting caught in the snow from coming back.

The snow in the suburbs of Beijing is going to get heavier, and I'm afraid that the whole mountain and field will be covered in white. Yinzhen has nothing to do today, so he thought he might as well take Deyin out to relax. It's rare to see her so happy to see the snow today, and he hasn't taken her out of the house for a long time.

"Yinyin, do you want to go out and play? I know a great place to enjoy the snow." Yinzhen asked when he saw her turn around.

Deyin hadn't been out of the house for a long time and was almost suffocated. When Yinzhen mentioned this, she nodded her head like a rattle.

The suburbs of the capital were even colder than the mansion, so Yinzhen asked her to change into thick clothes before agreeing to take her out. In fact, Deyin was not cold, but he waited until she changed her clothes before he agreed. Deyin felt like she was wrapped up like a little dumpling.

Yinzhen looked at her attire and nodded with satisfaction, then told Ling An to go down quickly and prepare the car.

There is a plum garden in the suburbs of Beijing. It was a private garden awarded by the Empress Dowager to the eldest princess. Later, few people came to this garden, and on weekdays, there were only servants who came to clean it regularly.

Even though snow fell in the plum garden, it still couldn't cover up the fragrance that filled the garden. Deyin was attracted by the aroma: "It smells so good."

Yinzhen looked outside and said to Ling An to stop the car. He helped Deyin out of the carriage and wanted to take her inside to take a look.

Deyin didn't know who the owner of the plum garden was, and was a little hesitant, fearing that he would break the rules by trespassing without the owner's permission.

Seeing that Deyin wanted to go but was hesitant, Yinzhen explained: "It's okay. My aunt often brought me here to appreciate the plum blossoms when I was a child. Let's go in and take a look."

Deyin stepped into the plum garden, which was spacious. Although it looked like no one had been there for many years, it was still very clean. Deyin shook off the snow that had fallen on the plum blossoms to reveal their original appearance.

"Yinyin, don't move."

Deyin felt Yinzhen behind her, inserting a small white plum blossom into her hair. Deyin was very curious about what it would look like, and her eyes kept looking up.

"So beautiful!" Yinzhen's gaze stayed on her for a long time, which made Deyin even more curious, but it was a pity that there was no mirror here to see.

Deyin glanced over and said, "Okay, sir, if you keep staring at me like that, it's like you want to eat me."

After walking around the plum garden for a while with Deyin, they headed to the scenic spot. The carriage was unstable when going uphill, and Deyin lost her balance several times and fell into Yinzhen's arms. He didn't care, but every time Deyin touched his chest, she would sit down quickly as if she had received an electric shock. Later, Yinzhen simply took the opportunity to hold her in his arms to avoid being bumped again.

Fortunately, the heavy snow had stopped when they arrived. Deyin picked up the snow on the ground and threw it into the air. The snowballs instantly scattered and slid out beautiful arcs.

Deyin's eyes flashed with cunning, and he scooped up the snow on the ground with both hands, made a small ball and threw it in the direction of Yinzhen. He really threw it accurately, hitting Yinzhen's arm hard.

Yinzhen was brought back to his senses by the sudden pain. This girl was so cruel and showed no mercy at all.

When Deyin saw Yinzhen bending down to make a snowball, she strode to the side. Unfortunately, there were no tall trees to block her view, only some small branches. No matter where she ran, it was useless because she was always within Yinzhen's sight. Yinzhen didn't care where she hid at all. He had been called by his father to practice riding and shooting since he was a child, so this little trick was not difficult for him.

Yinzhen found the right time to throw the snowball, which fell into her clothes. Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes and it didn't fall into her underwear. Deyin was tempted by his throwing, and she picked up a small snowball in one hand and ran over to throw it at Yinzhen, but Yinzhen was agile and dodged it.

Seeing that she couldn't hit him, Deyin pretended to give up and walked towards him. Yinzhen was not prepared at all, which was exactly what Deyin wanted. The cold feeling spread across Yinzhen's face in an instant, just as Deyin took out the snow hidden in her hand and slapped it on his face.

Deyin was about to laugh at him, but when she saw that Yinzhen's face looked a little strange, she sank. Her brain was working frantically, thinking about her actions just now, and she actually slapped Yinzhen's face. Deyin didn't dare to look him in the eye, and lowered her head to scratch her hands, waiting for Yinzhen to speak.

Although Yinzhen was a little confused just now, he didn't mean to blame her. He took her out to play just to make her happy. No one had ever treated him like that before, so he was naturally a little stunned.

Yinzhen looked at her aggrieved face and said nothing, but picked up a piece of snow and threw it at her forehead.

"Master, I can't let you play like this, you are cheating." Deyin began to complain about the snow that Yinzhen had just thrown at her.

Yinzhen looked helpless. How could she be allowed to break the rules when it was his turn?

"What will happen if you give in to me, my Lord?"

Deyin hit Yinzhen's face mercilessly. This time he was really having fun. He had been carefully choosing the position to throw the ball just now, but now he was a lot more casual.

"Don't run, stop," Yinzhen shouted at Deyin. She was not stupid. If she didn't run, she would be hit by a snowball.

Yinzhen watched Deyin run outside. There was a small pit in front of her which Deyin did not notice and she fell down accidentally. The branch next to her scratched her wrist, leaving several bright red blood marks.

Yinzhen watched her fall down and had no time to catch her. Fortunately, the pit was not deep and she only had some superficial injuries.

Ling An went to the carriage to get some medicine, and Yinzhen applied the medicine to her while blowing. Fortunately, he was prepared before going out today. He didn't expect that the girl actually fell down and the medicine came in handy.

"It hurts, please be gentler, sir." The medicine caused Deyin some pain, and the feeling became more obvious when Yinzhen touched it.

Yinzhen heard Deyin's cry of pain but did not slow down the strength of his hands. He had asked her to run slower just now, but she did not listen and fell down. He must make her remember this lesson so that she would not hurt herself in the future by being so rash.

The sky darkened and before he knew it it was already dusk. Deyin felt a little tired, so he set out for home.

Deyin's cough was heard in the carriage. Yinzhen had heard it several times and was worried that she had caught a cold after being brought out today. He touched her hand and it was a little cold.

"But are you feeling unwell? Why are your hands so cold?"

"It's okay, maybe I breathed in some cold air." Deyin made up an excuse, fearing that he would not take her out to see the snow scenery in the future.

After returning home, Yinzhen brought Deyin back to the Qinzheng Hall and immediately summoned Su Peisheng to bring ginger soup.

"Stay here tonight, drink some ginger soup and take a hot bath to drive away the cold."

As soon as Yinzhen came back, he sent someone to Qingyin Pavilion to pass on the message. It seemed that he had never intended to send him back from the beginning. He had never allowed a woman to stay in the Qinzheng Hall, but today he broke this precedent for Deyin.

Deyin finally finished the ginger soup handed to her by Yinzhen. She didn't like ginger in the first place, and drinking such a big bowl of it made her a little numb to the taste. Fortunately, it warmed her up, so it had some effect.

The maid from the Qinzheng Hall came to invite her to the bathhouse. Everything was ready. It was her first time to return to Yinzhen's bathhouse. She didn't expect it to be as big as the two in her courtyard.

Deyin sent the maid away. She still felt a little uncomfortable with someone watching over her. She took off her clothes one by one until she was left with only a thin layer of gauze under her clothes. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she took off that layer of gauze as well. She walked in. The temperature was just right. The hot water slid over her skin, and she began to relax.

Just when Deyin was immersed in the warmth, the voices of two people talking suddenly came from outside the door. One of them was Yinzhen, and the other was the maid who had just helped her change clothes.

Deyin leaned towards the bathtub to hear clearly what the two of them were talking about, but she didn't expect that the next second Yinzhen would lift the curtain and walk in.

Deyin looked at him approaching step by step, feeling a little overwhelmed: "Master, how did you get in?"

Yinzhen pointed around, looking as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with him: "This is my bedroom, is there anything wrong with you coming in?"

After hearing his reason, Deyin couldn't find an excuse to refute: "Well, you can't come in suddenly."

Yinzhen had already taken off his outer shirt and was about to untie the laces inside: "Okay, then how about telling Yinyin in advance next time?"

Deyin felt that the man who kept her with him must have bad intentions, and sure enough, his true colors were revealed so soon.

Deyin murmured in a very weak voice: "Pervert." The bath was quiet, and the two were not far away from each other, so Yinzhen heard her little complaint.

Yinzhen was already walking down the steps with his upper body naked. Deyin turned around a little embarrassedly, covered her two soft breasts, and immersed herself deeper in the water. Fortunately, the gauze dress was left by the pool and was not hung on the hanger by the maid. She freed one hand to pick up the dress, and just as she was about to put it on, Yinzhen stepped closer and snatched the gauze dress from her hand.

"Yinyin, why do you want to wear this burden?" Deyin's face turned red at this sentence. The mist in the bathtub surged up, and her body became even hotter.

The two of them got closer and closer. Deyin's long hair had already covered Yinzhen's shoulders with the flow of water. The thick black hair fit tightly against his shoulders. He pulled Deyin over. The wonderful touch was about to happen, which startled Deyin.

Yinzhen held her waist tightly, not wanting her to retreat. Deyin struggled a few times but to no avail, so she began to give in. Deyin only felt that the water flow made her feel a little itchy.

Yinzhen carried her to the bathtub, and asked the maid to bring a quilt to wrap her up and carry her to the couch. There was still some residual blush on Deyin's face, and she looked extremely beautiful under the yellow candlelight.

When she woke up the next day, Deyin was no longer beside her. The sun had already risen. She had slept very deeply. Luwu and Qingxuan were waiting for her outside. She packed up and returned to Qingyin Pavilion.

There were not many people on the way back to the courtyard. Lu Wu looked at De Yin mysteriously and said, "Master, I heard that you are the first one that the Fourth Master kept in the Qinzheng Palace. Even the Lady of Qinzheng has never received such treatment. The Fourth Master really cares about you."

When Deyin heard this, he looked around subconsciously and looked at Luwu with stern eyes: "Be careful with your words, just say this in the room and don't spread it out."

Qingxuan immediately added: "There are many people in the mansion and it's right for the master to be careful."
