Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

On the first day of Lenggong, Xiangwanchun caught wind and cold. Although Qinglian made a bowl of ginger and brown sugar soup for her to drink, she still coughed a few days later, and sometimes she could not sleep due to wheezing and coughing at night. Xiangwanchun had to keep her voice down and dare not cry out. Qinglian heard that she has figured out Qinglian's temper these years, so naturally she can't make people worry too much.

Xiang Wanchun herself was also puzzled, she was not bad at all, why did these minor injuries and illnesses happen more frequently than Su Shuangran, who was frail and fragile?Could it be a delicate fault caused by being served by people left and right?

On sick days, Xiang Wanchun couldn't bear the wind, and whenever the wind blew, she would cough.During the few days when she was not well, she slept with her head covered by the quilt, and the matter seemed to be resolved, but it was not necessarily useful.Xiang Wanchun still coughed and didn't say anything, his breath was not smooth, and now he was sleeping with the quilt in his hands, which was even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Xiang Wanchun recovered from his illness on the eve of winter, otherwise the illness would have to be delayed.The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sun has not been seen for days, which should be the prelude to snow.

At this time, Xiang Wanchun prefers to stay in the house and sit with Qinglian to keep warm. The two quilts are piled up to prevent the wind, and the two idlers get together to chat.Leaning against Qinglian, looking at the deserted surroundings, Xiang Wanchun felt in a daze that it would be a good thing to live here for a long time. Although the cold palace is boring, it is also extremely comfortable to live a comfortable and comfortable life.

Warm palms pressed together, Qinglian was protecting her from the cold, Xiang Wanchun asked: "We will live in the cold palace for the rest of our lives, right?"

"Why did you remember this?" Hearing Xiang Wanchun mention this for the first time, Qinglian said with relief, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Zhuang will certainly not stand idly by, and we can go out after a while gone."

"That's not what it means," Xiang Wanchun said slowly with his eyes closed, with a faint smile, "I think it's good to live here, to avoid the turmoil of the harem battle, and only The two of us."

"You are open-minded and open-minded, and you are willing to stay in this deserted cold palace for a lifetime." Dissatisfied by Xiang Wanchun's sarcastic remarks, Qinglian reached out and pinched her slender waist.With a pain in the waist and abdomen, Xiang Wanchun hurriedly moved to the side, and a gap was opened under the tightly covered quilt, and the cold wind poured in at the right time, Xiang Wanchun's body, which was not easy to warm up at this moment Shaking again.

Even though she was chilled by the wind, Xiang Wanchun didn't want to turn back to get any closer. Although Qinglian's hands were not heavy, there was no guarantee that she would not be tricked and attacked when she returned, after all, this was Qinglian's usual trick.Xiang Wanchun thought about it, but Qinglian said: "The cold wind is pouring into your head, my lady should sit down, you have just recovered from your illness, so don't dare to have any accidents right now."

Qinglian's serious words seemed to be the same thing, she hesitated for a while, Xiang Wanchun moved back a few times as she said, before the person sat still, Qinglian pinched her hand again, Xiangwanchun was caught off guard He hurriedly fled to the side, but unexpectedly lost his balance and fell backwards.Seeing Xiang Wanchun fall to the ground, Qinglian quickly pulled him back with quick eyes and hands, but the strength in her hand was not appropriate, and Xiang Wanchun who was pulled back leaned over and pressed on her body.

"Does it hurt? Is there any injury?" Just now he clearly heard the muffled sound of his head hitting the wall. Xiang Wanchun was confused and asked quickly.

Being knocked hard, Qinglian rubbed the back of her head with her hands, and said in a vague voice: "Your maidservant is fine... Your empress was shocked."

"You have a conscience at the moment, you know I'm frightened," Xiang Wanchun said sarcastically, imitating Qinglian's appearance, "I told you to cover up, you obviously asked for it." Although In this way, the voice was soft and gentle, without the slightest sense of blame, and took Qinglian's weak hand, and Xiang Wanchun raised his hand to rub her gently.

Feeling ashamed, Qinglian calmed down and stopped talking.

"I'm just joking, why should I take it seriously?" Seeing that Qinglian remained silent, Xiang Wanchun chewed and smiled, and pulled his face down and said, "If my sister cares, how about I apologize?"

Qinglian's face turned red when she heard the words, and she couldn't hear the banter in Xiang Wanchun's words, so she gave her a glance unwillingly, and Qinglian said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty is open-minded, it's the servant who is narrow-minded."

"If you can smile, you will be as magnanimous as I am." Unprepared, Xiang Wanchun stretched out his hand to scratch Qinglian's itch.

Qinglian didn't expect Xiang Wanchun to come up with such a bad move, she couldn't bear it and then giggled.After all these years of getting along, it is only today that Xiang Wanchun realizes that Qinglian is so ticklish.In the end, Qinglian had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Don't...don't, don't make trouble, itchy."

After playing, Xiang Wanchun sat down next to Qinglian again, and said: "Don't play, this quilt will get cold again after being tossed around."

"If Niang Niang had awakened earlier, she wouldn't have such a childish temper." Slowly, Qing Lian threw these words over.

He knew that Qinglian was going to put on airs again to blame her, so Xiang Wanchun hurriedly changed the topic: "I always look forward to the snowy day, and I don't know when the first snow will fall this year? By then We have to remember to go out and see."

"It's cold outside, it's better for your majesty to rest indoors." Qinglian refused.

"Just to take a look," Xiang Wanchun said, "You would go out with me in previous years, why aren't you interested this year?"

While speaking, there was a hint of coolness on the tip of the nose in the wind that came in through the door. Xiang Wanchun was not convinced at first, and then a little bit fell on his eyelashes and a little bit on his cheeks. Xiang Wanchun just said pleasantly: "There seems to be snow outside. , I'll go check it out." Unable to answer Qinglian's voice, Xiang Wanchun put on his shoes and opened the door to go out.

"Your Majesty, wait for the servants." Seeing the person walking fast, Qinglian anxiously followed.

The snow was not falling heavily, and the sporadic snow spots were even more invisible in the wind. Xiang Wanchun was not disappointed.Compared with the hustle and bustle of people before and after watching the snow scene in Wanxiu Palace, watching the snow quietly under the eaves in the cold palace has a different feeling.

Stretch your hand outside, the star point of coldness melts away in the palm of your hand.Xiang Wanchun had a smile on his lips, but he could hear the worry that Qinglian couldn't hide: "My lady, don't freeze your hands."

Xiang Wanchun turned around and said, "Don't worry, Xue Xiao is here." As he said so, he took his hand back without worrying to make people worry.

……

The snowflakes are all over the sky, one after another.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside the house," the court lady said with joy as she stepped into the warm inner hall filled with lingering fragrance, "The first snow of this year just happened."

"It's snowing?" Su Shuangran put down the book in his hand, with a smile on his lips, wrapped the fur coat hanging on the screen, and said to the person who had just entered the door, "So, let me go out for a walk with this palace." .”
