Battle of the Queen

Mingyi's hometown is in a small southern city, and she only saw snow once when she was in her twenties. It was the first year after she started working, and she was arranged by the company to go on a business trip to Beijing. The first snow in my life...

Different from the humidity and coldness in the south, the winter in Beijing is dry and cold. When I was in school, I read Lu Xun wrote about the snow in the north: "The snowflakes in Shuofang are always like powder and sand after they fly. On the house, on the ground, on the withered grass..."

This is an unimaginable scene. Standing in the gap between thousands of years of time, I can finally experience the feeling of being there.

The whistling north wind is mixed with large flakes of snowflakes. You can hear the sound of "swish, swish, swish" snow sweeping before dawn. It snowed all night last night, and the window paper was blown rattling , It really is "the north wind is tight overnight".

The room is scented with incense and floor heating, it is as warm as spring. Compared with the outside, it is a different world.

Ming Yi covered her mouth and let out a long yawn, opened her hands sleepily to let Tsing Yi dress her, and then stretched out her feet naturally for the maid to put on her shoes.

During the whole process, she kept her hands in her sleeves as much as she could without stretching them out. After she was covered with layer after layer of clothes, Tsing Yi twisted a towel for her, "My lord, please wash your face..."

"No!" Ming Yi refused without even thinking about it, "I don't want to reach out, you can wash it for me!"

Tsing Yi's expression twisted, "...it's..."

After wiping his face, Mingyi was almost fully awake. Someone else could wash his face, but he seemed to have to brush his teeth by himself. After Mingyi brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth as fast as possible, Tsing Yi brought another basin of water, "My lord Please clean your hands..."

Ming Yi: "..."

I really don't want to do it!

Probably feeling that Ming Yi's expression was too painful, Tsing Yi Wen Yan explained: "It's better to soak for a while, washing hands with hot water can prevent frostbite..."

"..."

What's up with this coaxing tone of children! ?

Ming Yi thinks about it too. Washing hands with hot water can promote blood circulation and avoid frostbite, so she stretched out a finger to test the water temperature, and found that it was not so difficult to accept, so she put both hands in the water, Soaking in hot water is really comfortable.

After soaking for a while, I took out my hand, took the towel and wiped my hand,

The snow outside shines in through the window paper, bright and majestic, Ming Yi looks around, but doesn't see the original book, so she asks: "Is Rong Yue awake yet?"

Tsing Yi didn't answer, just looked at Zi Yi...

"My lord, this servant has just called me a princess, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Zi Yi had a troubled expression on her face, not knowing whether to say it or not, Ming Yi said, "It's okay for you to say it..."

Hearing this, Ziyi felt relieved, "It's just that the princess said that it's snowing today, so she won't go to her early, if the lord asks, just say, just say she's sick..."

"...This girl," Mingyi had a headache, and finally managed to get her a place. It didn't take long for her to settle down, and she was going to make trouble with this moth who said she was sick. .

Ming Yi felt that she was more worried than her own sister, "I'll call her."

Ziyi hurriedly said: "Hey, don't bother the lord, just call the slaves."

"If you can do it, she'll wake up early, so I'll go."

Ziyi had no choice but to follow Mingyi. Fortunately, the bedroom of the original book was in the side hall of Mingyi's bedroom, so he didn't have to go out. Except that it was a little smaller, the treatment and expenses were exactly the same as Mingyi's. She was also very respectful and did not dare to be negligent. It can be said that Mingyi really had good intentions for this righteous sister.

Sure enough, in the side hall, the original book was shrunk into a ball and wrapped in the quilt, only showing half of his disheveled head...

Ming Yi went up to pat her quilt: "Rong Yue, wake up, get up!"

"Hmm..." Yuan Shu turned over and shrank himself even tighter under the quilt.

"...Wake up, breakfast is here, I want to eat it myself!"

"..." There was no response from the original book, it seems that the foodie thinking was suppressed by the sleepy god.

Mingyi yelled in her ear: "Yuan Shangshu is here! Get up quickly!"

"...Well," Yuan Shu stretched out his hand to rub his ears, then turned over again, "Don't make trouble..."

"..." I'm not even afraid of Yuan Mo anymore!And Mingyi found out that the original book actually slept naked!The outstretched arms are bare, no wonder the quilt is hugged so tightly!

Realizing that such a gentle way can't wake her up at all, Ming Yi ruthlessly threw the quilt off her body to the side to see if you can afford it!

Sure enough, the original book that had lost the quilt barrier flopped a few times, and the cold air hit, and the original book shivered, because she couldn't catch the quilt, she opened her eyes impatiently, and muttered: "What are you doing? Who hates it so much?" ~"

Seeing that she finally woke up, Ming Yi covered her back with the quilt, "Who are you talking about! Hurry up and get up!"

Seeing Ming Yi standing beside the bed, Yuan Shu beat the bed a few times unwillingly, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~"

It seems that she is not afraid of herself at all, Mingyi put on a straight face on purpose, "Stop talking nonsense! Get up quickly, I will wait for you in the dining room, Ziyi, and wait for the princess to get up." The latter words were said to the original book: "If you still don't If so, I will ask your sister to come and call you in person! Also, when did you learn to sleep without clothes? A girl’s house, next time I’ll dress it up for me. This time it’s me, who can tell me next time! Look You are not ashamed!"

Threatened for this sake, the original book was also afraid, and immediately obediently got up to be waited on and dressed, "I know, I know~~"

I don't know if she listened to it, but Mingyi was very satisfied when she got up, patted her on the head, and said with a smile: "You're so good!"

"Humph!"

With this episode in the original book, Ming Yi went to court later than usual, but fortunately, no one deliberately picked on the thorns. It seems that in such a cold weather, people are not even willing to say anything, except for a few questions about the year-end sacrifice. , there was not even a booklet, Ming Yi almost couldn't hold back and went out to see if the sun was coming out from the west, and then he immediately remembered that it was snowing and the sun was not out.

Mingyi saw that because it was too cold, several female officers couldn't help stomping their feet quietly, and even Xiyu rubbed the hands crossed in front of her body without any trace.

Mingyi suddenly felt that this kind of Xiyu was a little cute, so she laughed unconsciously, the sound of her laughter was heard in the whole court, Xiyu raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw that she was looking at her hand, she couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Mingyi coughed and returned to the serious topic...

Today's morning court is shorter than before, because there is no floor heating in the main hall, and Ming Yi saw that some young female officials' faces were turning red from the cold, so she ended the morning court early, and she also made a decision, from now until the end of the year. No need to go to court early, just write to the book if you have anything to do.

Obviously this decision was approved by everyone, even Mr. Zhongshu, who is usually difficult and troublesome, did not object, because Ming Yi just watched her stomp her feet secretly several times...

After the court, Yuan Mo and Xi Yu walked at the end, Ming Yi was surrounded by several maids and walked in front, Yuan Mo shouted: "My lord, stop!"

Ming Yi couldn't hear with the hood of the cloak, Tsing Yi tugged at her, "My lord, Mr. Yuan is behind."

Master Yuan?Isn't she here?Ming Yi reflexively read the original book, and immediately realized that it was Yuan Mo, so she stopped where she was and waited.

It wasn't until they approached Mingyi that Xiyu was still following her, her expression was still calm, only Yuan Mo was out of breath, "My lord, minister, minister... huh~"

Ming Yi laughed, "Shang Shu can catch his breath first before we talk."

Yuan Mo supported Xiyu with one hand, and after resting for a while, he cupped his hands to Ming Yi: "I'm sorry, the original book hasn't returned home for many days, my mother misses it very much, I beg the Lord to be gracious, let the original book go home and reunite for a few days day."

At first, Yuan Shu thought that her sister was here to trouble her, so she was so nervous, but when she heard about going home, she also missed her mother a little, so she looked at Ming Yi expectantly.

Seeing her expectant eyes, Mingyi smiled apologetically at her: "You have been in the palace for many days, but you have never been allowed to go home to have a look. I was negligent. The end of the year is approaching, so you should go home to celebrate the New Year!"

Yuanshu was very happy, and shook Mingyi's hand twice, his eyes were shining brightly, reflecting the white snow between heaven and earth, Mingyi suddenly envied her for being able to live so carefree, innocent and happy, as if there was no What could really make her sad...

................

"My lord?"

"En?" Mingyi came back to her senses and saw only Xiyu standing aside, she asked her strangely: "Where are Yuan Mo and the others?"

Xiyu glanced at her indifferently, "They just said goodbye..."

Mingyi was a little embarrassed that she had been distracted for so long. The maids retreated because they wanted to talk, and there were only Mingyi and Xiyu left in the snow. By chance, the two just stood there.

Suddenly there was some icy coldness on his face, Mingyi raised his hand to wipe it, the moist touch felt it, and when he looked carefully, there were a few crystal clear snowflakes falling on his shoulders, it was snowing again...

It was only then that Mingyi noticed that Xiyu was not wearing a cloak, but was standing in the snow in a cotton-gown official uniform. Through Xiyu's figure, Mingyi saw a blossoming red plum.

It seems to be the plum blossom on the other side of the rockery, the main branch is there, and this branch is inserted obliquely from the stone gap in the rockery. Mingyi passes by here every day, but has never found it. Now it is against the white robed Xiyu , There is actually an indescribable beauty.

Mingyi suddenly thought of a poem, the author of which has been forgotten, but at this time the scenery in the poem seemed to appear vividly in front of her eyes: "Wanchuan is white in the northern country, and the garden is only open. The bonfire in the boudoir, the fragrance spreads into the Huai. In the early spring of [-], Yiren wandered on the snow. Standing tall and graceful, she is in love with snowflakes alone." (Note)

Poetic and poetic scenery, I am afraid it is like Xiyu...

Xiyu saw that she had been silent, but her face was flushed from the cold, and she suddenly blamed herself, why did she let her stand here and suffer from the cold!

Just as she was about to say goodbye, Ming Yi suddenly untied the strap of her cloak, took off the cloak, and stuffed it into Xi Yu's hand.

Ming Yi didn't dare to look at her, and stammered: "Hey, this is for you to wear, you, you should go back quickly..."

She was wearing a lot of clothes, but she was still shivering a little. How could Xiyu accept it, "No, no, how dare I..."

Ming Yi interrupted her: "I'll give it to you if I say it! I'm closer here, I'm leaving, you, you go back too~" Before she could react, she took the maid and left. Holding her warm cloak, she stood in the cold wind for a long time, and finally put on her cloak and went home......

As for Ming Yi, because her head was hot at the time, she took off her cloak to Xiyu, and went all the way back to the bedroom with the wind blowing. She drank a large bowl of ginger tea before recovering. I don't know what Xiyu will think. The boss cares about his subordinates. Xiyu should not think about it, right~~~~~

While this one here was still deceiving himself and others, Master Taishi returned home through the wind and snow, the clothes under the cloak were clean and tidy, without any trace of being wet by rain and snow, and the hands hidden in the sleeves of Xiyu were also warm. As usual, it doesn't look like I just came back from the freezing environment...

If Mingyi knew this, she wondered if she would regret giving her the cloak, Xiyu smiled softly...

Because Xiyu has practiced martial arts since she was a child, her physical fitness is better than ordinary people, so she doesn't feel cold even in thin clothes in winter. She is also used to not wearing a cloak. Today Mingyi gave her her cloak. Something seemed to have been poked, but it felt very soft, as if even the air was warmed up, and it actually made her come back with a smile all the way. This feeling really wanted people to hide it deeply.
