C129

He gave me a small house filled with crabapple trees, but I didn't go there even once. I stayed in his Zhenghua palace the whole time, and even when Li Fei said that the empress dowager had some complaints, she didn't ask any of them. It was probably because I was pregnant with her.

On the second day of the new year, he was finally extremely busy.

Where had the current Xia Junchang gone to? Outside the capital, he would first go to a place filled with green bamboo plants and reminisce about the name carved out by the saber, then the traces left by the flower.

I could feel him on the road not far from my house, sitting on his horse in the snow, watching the cabin, and I could hear the clatter of hooves on the ground.

"Zhiqiu, what are you doing?" A soft cry startled me, and I found that I had a bone between my teeth, which I had been biting, creaking, even when he came in.

He hurriedly retracted his scattered thoughts and went up to greet them. "I'm lost in thought." I didn't hide anything from him. I've had a rough understanding of his temper. If he said that he was fine, he would definitely be suspicious.

He handed his thick clothes to his father-in-law and held my face as he scrutinized me. I didn't dare to avoid his gaze, so I just smiled. "What are you looking at?"

"Let's see if you miss me." With a gentle smile, he let go of my face and rubbed my hair. "Seeing that you are thinking about it, I am very happy. Tonight, you are blessed."

The eunuch placed a small jug of wine on the table, and a maidservant poured two cups.

He pulled me back to my seat and said, "Taste it. This is plum blossom wine. You'll definitely like it."

Smelling the rich fragrance of the wine and tasting it a little, the sweet and sour taste of the plum blossom had the sweetness of wine. "It's quite tasty."

He let someone open the window and looked out at the drifting snowflakes. He raised his eyebrows and downed it all in one gulp. "It's very different to see the snow when it's light."

I sipped the wine and liked the taste, and maybe he was right about the way the snow was as light as catkins and as beautiful as brocades when it was light.

Turning to look at him, he was looking at me with his hands on his hips and smiling.

"What are you looking at?" I asked, blushing.

"Look at you."

"…"

"No matter how I look at it, it's not enough."

I was still speechless. I touched his face with my hand and didn't drink too much. This plum blossom wine isn't strong wine, but he seemed to be extremely drunk.

"Zhiqiu, do you have me in your heart now?" He asked again, his dark eyes full of seriousness.

I smiled lightly and said, "Why are you asking all these questions today? "Are you feeling uncomfortable again? Why don't you go to bed earlier?"

"I'm asking you seriously." He frowned with some annoyance, a gesture of impatience.

I thought for a moment, then lightly nodded. "Zhiqiu's heart naturally has Your Majesty." Without him, would they have guessed at his temper, would they have supported him like this by his side?

When he heard this, he grinned like a child.

"Zhiqiu, do you know why I'm asking you this?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. You're asking me when I asked for the reason."

"That's true. Our Zhiqiu [1] is the most obedient kitten, and it really pleases me. Today, the envoy from the country paid tribute to me with fur and other such things. Tell me, what color do you like?"

Why did it seem a bit abnormal today? I replied that everything was fine.

He stopped talking about the subject, drank another cup, and was invited by his father-in-law, who said that the Empress Dowager wanted to discuss the matter of the Ancestral Worship in the year with him.

He gave me a wistful look, put on his clothes again, and hurried away.

The palace maid cleaned up the dishes and brought out a cup of warm water. She softly said, "This is a genius. Just now, His Majesty wasn't done speaking."

"I know, but I don't know what he wants to say." I can't think of anything yet.

The palace maids chuckled, "Sorry, this servant has talked too much. A genius will be rewarded during the new year in the palace, the concubines in the palace will receive either a promotion or a reward from the emperor, and most of the concubines will present a gift to the emperor during the new year. Perhaps the emperor wants to see the talented master."

I was a little surprised. "I don't think I have anything to give you."

The palace maid said tactfully, "His Majesty has seen all sorts of precious things. Perhaps some ordinary things are what the emperor likes."

So there was actually such a bad habit. However, he felt that his sleeves were empty and that everything he wore was his. What could I give him? He did not lack anything.

Or give him his own embroidered handkerchief, and give him the little tiger. I haven't learned anything else yet.

Hehe, if he saw it, he would definitely grab my shoulder and shake it. "Yun Zhiqiu, how can you give me this handkerchief embroidered with little tigers, do I look like it? "I am too fierce, look, it's still a weak tiger, it can't even open its eyes, with one look it's full of grievances."

Yes, he would talk to me like this, he would make a fuss about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. He called for the palace maid to find the best white snowflakes and embroidered a golden yellow, shiny, and soft little tiger that was about to fall asleep.
