drink snow and ice

The breeze blew across the corridor, and the few strands of that person's untied hair were gently carried in the direction of Chu Yuanyuan along with the breeze.

A fragrance mixed with medicinal herbs forms an indescribably decadent and cold fragrance.

"Ah!" The woman in the plain dress had a look of panic, and she walked over a few steps.

The face as white as Haoyue flickered slightly, and stood quietly in front of Chu Yuanyuan.

The queen is much taller than Chu Yuanyuan, she can only see the small shadow cast by her lowered eyebrows when she holds her head up.

In the hot summer, the fingertips that were still as cold as ice touched the skin under Chu Yuanyuan's eyes, like a grain of snow falling, causing goose bumps all over his body.

"Why are you crying?" the man sighed lightly.

Chu Yuanyuan himself didn't know how embarrassed he looked at this time, with his small face raised, he stared at this person in a daze, his eyes were red in a mess, and tears rolled out of them one by one.

The skin was soaked in a large area, and the powder marks were mottled.

He Xueyan's cool fingers brushed gently across her lower eye sockets, and she cast her eyes on Tian Zhen with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Is there a handkerchief?"

She turned her face sideways, opened and closed her long and curly eyelashes, and with her movements, her eyes changed from being backlit to being reflected in the scorching sunlight.

Only then did the little girl realize that the pupils were extremely shallow, like amber, and also like very precious colored glaze beads.

Light pupils and snow skin, a frosty beauty.

It should be cold and hard, but it is so weak, it seems that it will shatter or melt if you don't hold it in your hand.

Tian Zhen took out a handkerchief from his arms, looked down at the crumpled one and stuffed it back, and shook his head with a wooden face: "I forgot to bring it."

He Xueyan could only wipe Chu Yuanyuan's tears with her sleeves, her movements were gentle, and her beautifully shaped lips were slightly pursed.

Her lips were very light in color, only the part where she pursed her lips showed a little blood, and a pair of eyes like glass beads looked at her intently.

In her eyes, Chu Yuanyuan saw herself more clearly than in the mirror.

Reflected in the depths of the pupils of such a beauty, she doesn't look so unworthy.

After wiping away the tears, the snow-white sleeves became colorful, He Xueyan glanced down, held back a smile, and simply wiped her entire face with the sleeves.

Gently patted Chu Yuanyuan's face with his palm: "Don't cry, okay?"

Then she turned her head and called the big maid who was weeding in the yard: "Lingsha, go fetch a basin of water."

Chu Yuanyuan naturally didn't dare to let He Xueyan do the job of washing his face.

After all, she is also a queen.

Moreover, she tilted her head and took a peek at He Xueyan who was standing in the porch, holding her sleeves and frowning.

She is also beautiful when she frowns.

It is reminiscent of the broken feeling of Xizi holding her heart.

She washed her face so absent-mindedly that she didn't clean it at all.

Tian Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, so he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the handkerchief, washing her face flushed.

Chu Yuanyuan let out another "ow", the sockets of his eyes were much redder than before, and the tears in them could not be shed.

Lingsha also went to look at He Xueyan's sleeves after drawing water, pulled them up and scraped them with her fingers: "Don't worry, ma'am, it's all powder, just rub it and it'll be gone. You can change the maidservant and wash it later." gone."

Chu Yuanyuan, whose face was washed clean, did not look like a 16-year-old girl at all, especially when her cheeks were flushed and she tilted her head to look at He Xueyan.

He looked at most thirteen or fourteen years old.

She glanced at He Xueyan's colorful sleeves, and flinched: "I'm really sorry." After a pause, she followed: "Your Majesty?"

"It's okay." He Xueyan rolled up her sleeves and put her hands behind her back, with a slight smile on her face: "Don't call me your mother, you belong to Xiao Min."

She couldn't help laughing, she tilted her head slightly, her almost transparent pupils were wet with laughter, and her long eyebrows arched: "According to etiquette, you should actually call me queen mother."

"Xiao Min likes you very much. She sent a letter last night and asked me to teach you etiquette." He Xueyan raised his hand and gently squeezed the little girl's red cheeks: "Then I will teach you the first lesson, This is the mother queen."

Facing He Xueyan's face, how could Chu Yuanyuan scream.

Biting his lip and struggling for a long time, he finally let out a weak sound from his throat, which was so weak that it was not even as good as a mosquito: "Mother... queen..."

"Yuan Yuan is so good." He Xueyan squinted her eyes, and her fingers changed from pinching to rubbing, gently pressing on the red piece of flesh that she pinched just now.

He Xueyan, the queen, should not be doing well.

When she left to wash and change, the maid named Lingsha also left.

In the huge yard, there are only two maidservants here and there, one is Lingsha, and the other is weeding and watering an unknown plant in the corner.

Chu Yuanyuan took a closer look, cucumber and lentils, and the cultivation is not very good, what a mess.

The lentil leaves are all yellow.

She hurriedly held down the maid's watering hand: "I can't water it anymore, there's too much water, it's going to rot."

You are a queen, but the sleeping hall is so desolate.

Plain clothes and linen skirt, not even a little decoration on the head.

The chubby girls in Steward Chen's family were all more wealthy than He Xueyan.

Don't even dare to turn on more lights at night.

When eating, only an oil lamp was placed on the table, and the room was terribly dark.

The dishes are only stir-fried lentils and cold cucumbers.

So pitiful that Chu Yuanyuan was about to cry, she bit her chopsticks and looked up at He Xueyan.

The man looked as usual, his eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were quiet and picturesque, as if he was not eating a table of poor vegan dishes, but delicacies.

When Chu Yuanyuan returned to his room, he didn't dare to light the lamp. The empress lived in such a poor life, how could she have the nerve to spend so much shamelessly.

The room was pitch-black, and Tian Zhen, who came back from fetching water, almost tripped over the threshold and staggered for several steps before he managed to stabilize himself, and most of the water spilled on him.

Hearing this movement, Chu Yuanyuan rolled and crawled off the bed to light the lamp.

Tian Zhen's expression was not very good. He looked at the Doudouhuo in the lamp and then at himself who was soaked all over. The corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably, and he sighed: "Wait for me, I'll get another basin of water .”

When Tian Zhen held his hand and wiped his fingers, Chu Yuanyuan couldn't help but leaned over curiously: "Actually, is our Majesty poor?"

The tall maid rolled her eyes: "How is that possible?"

Very likely.

Chu Yuanyuan looked around the room, and according to Lingsha, the furnishings of this room were almost exactly the same as He Xueyan's room.

Even the female servants in the Prince's Mansion are inferior.

"Why does the empress live in such poverty?" The little girl blinked her eyes, looking extremely thirsty for knowledge.

Tian Zhen directly poured the water that had just washed her face into the footbath, and stuffed Chu Yuanyuan's feet into it as soon as the shoes and socks were gone: "She did it herself, no one else can blame her."

She raised her face and looked at the ignorant Chu Yuanyuan: "Don't believe a word she says."

"Ah?" The little girl was even more confused, she leaned down, her long hair draped behind her shoulders slipped down from her shoulders and almost fell into the footbath: "Why?"

Fortunately, Tian Zhen had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he picked it up and gave it back.

She sighed and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Tian Zhen finished wiping her feet, took her legs and moved them directly to the bed: "Go to bed early, I'll pour water."

As soon as she turned around, the little girl pinched the hem of her clothes: "You...then where do you sleep?"

"I'm going to sleep with Lingsha and the others."

The little girl withdrew her hand and let out a muffled oh.

The bed board here is harder than the general bed in the Prince's Mansion, and I don't know if Chu Yuanyuan thinks too much, and he always feels itchy all over his body.

It seemed that some invisible insects were biting her frantically under the bed board. It was very itchy, maybe it was fleas.

The itching forced Chu Yuanyuan to scratch himself red all over.

She couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and she didn't know how long it had been, so she thought about getting up and getting some water to take a shower.

Some wormwood was also planted in the corner of the yard, and the straw mats were carefully scalded by boiling the water with the wormwood, and then some moxa sticks were tied and smoked to repel the insects.

Chu Yuanyuan was very busy, but saw that Lingsha was also fetching water in the yard, and it was cold well water.

"The well water is cold at night, what do you do to draw water?"

Lingsha was a little flustered when she heard the voice, and she was relieved when she saw that it was her: "Your Majesty just came here, I will bring some water to wipe your mother's body."

Chu Yuanyuan moved away to show her the steaming water behind him: "I boiled hot water, you can take some hot water for your mother, I'm afraid cold water will be bad for your body."

Lingsha lowered her head and quickly filled a bucket of water, without looking at her, she just shook her head: "No need, cold water is fine."

Weird.

Chu Yuanyuan didn't think much about it, and directly took off the straw mat and bedding, soaked in moxa grass blisters, and used moxa sticks to repel insects, and worked hard for most of the day.

When I went out to pour water, I passed the door of He Xueyan's room, and just a few steps away, I heard a loud bang inside, as if something had fallen.

Without even thinking about it, she dropped the bucket and opened the door and went in.

The person who fell on the ground looked at her with dim eyes, He Xueyan was sweating all over, and the already thin clothes were mixed with sweat and pressed tightly against her skin, clearly outlining the curves of her body.

The long hair like black silk satin was covered with sweat on her face, the most wonderful thing was the expression on her face, a little dazed, she turned her face bluntly, sweat was dripping on her snowy face.

A pair of lips were bitten by her, covered with tooth marks, red like blood.

It's like a charming ghost in Pansi Cave.

Chu Yuanyuan swallowed unconsciously, closed the door and walked over, knelt down to help her, as soon as his hand touched the man's shoulder, he felt the skin under his palm was extremely hot: "It's so hot, are you sick?"

That person's panting was very rapid, with her beautiful head resting lightly in her arms, and her shallow pupils looked at her with wet eyes, without saying a word.

Chu Yuanyuan took a lot of effort to help her back on the bed, lowered his head and asked her: "Do you want me to wake Lingsha up and find a doctor for you?"

The man blinked. Even her eyelashes were wet, and they were almost inseparable. She shook her head with some difficulty, and said in a very hoarse voice, "Pour me a glass of water."

There was only cold water in the kettle, and Chu Yuanyuan poured her a full cup.

The man lowered his eyelashes, leaned against her body and swallowed obediently.

His body was burning hot, and his cheeks were red all over.

"Do you really not need to see a doctor?"

The man finished drinking the water and lay down again, with exhaustion written on his face and eyes, he still shook his head upon hearing this.

She suddenly laughed, her eyes closed slightly, and her eyelashes trembled: "Kiss me, my mother always hugged me and kissed my cheek when I was sick."

He Xueyan opened his eyes, and the eyeballs that looked like glass and amber were all wet: "Are you okay?"

Chu Yuanyuan couldn't refuse, or she never thought of refusing. From the moment she stepped into this door, her thoughts were chaotic, and she was completely attracted by this person.

She lowered her eyes, looked at He Xueyan's snow-white face, and her eyes finally settled on the watery red lips full of tooth marks.

It should be a kiss on the cheek, but a kiss on the cheek is nothing.

Chu Yuanyuan closed his eyes, and lowered his head as if accepting his fate.

The two lips parted at the slightest touch.

Just as she was about to pull away, she felt a palm pressing on the back of her head, pushing back the distance she had already opened.

Chu Yuanyuan suddenly opened his eyes, and lost his resistance the moment he met He Xueyan's eyes.
