On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the first snow of the year fell in Jincheng, and although it snowed, it was not too heavy. There was only a thin layer of snow that could not even cover the ground. Yun Chang stood under the porch and stretched out her hand After receiving it, the fine snow fell into the palm and quickly melted away.

Qin Yi hurriedly said: Your Majesty, don't stand here anymore. Although the snow is not heavy, it is still a bit cold. Be careful to catch a cold. If your Majesty catches a cold, I'm afraid that all of us in Weiyang Palace will have to kneel here today. I apologize to His Majesty in the snow.

Yun Shang turned around and glanced at Qin Yi, and hummed softly: You have become more and more slick with Qian Zhuo, it seems that I should still give Qian Zhuo to the Empress Dowager, lest she be in Weiyang Palace, It took away the entire palace.”

Qianzhuo heard Yunshang's words in the room, so she quickly poked her head out and said loudly: Your Majesty, please don't slander your slaves.

Yunshang and Qinyi looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing. Yunshang looked at the fluttering and falling snowflakes, but the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded: Seeing this snow reminds me of Ningguo Come on, when Ningguo comes to winter, there will be a thick layer of snow on the ground, and it will creak when you step on it, and you can build snowmen and have snowball fights.

When Qin Yi heard what Yun Shang said, she also smiled slightly: Yes, in terms of snow, Ningguo is better.

While the two were talking, they saw Pei Lan rushing in from outside the palace drenched in snow, holding plum blossom branches in his arms. Pei Lan ran to the corridor and saluted Yun Shang before exclaiming, It's so cold.

Qin Yi leaned her head over to look at Pei Lan, with some doubts in her eyes: Didn't I tell you to go to the clothing bureau to pick up the new clothes? Where are the clothes?

Pei Lan stuck out her tongue, and then quickly responded: The manager of the Shangyi Bureau said that the clothes have not been completely finished yet, let the slaves come back first, and the Shangyi Bureau will send someone to deliver them to us after they are finished. He looked at the plum blossoms in his bosom that were still covered with snow, and then smiled naively: I just passed by the imperial garden and saw that the plum blossoms were blooming very well, thinking that my mother likes plum blossoms, but it's cold and I can't go out. I went to admire the plum blossoms, so I picked some back, and the slaves went to put them in the vase.

Yun Chang smiled and nodded, Okay.

Your Majesty, after standing for a while, let's go back to the house. Qin Yi persuaded softly.

Yun Chang nodded, and said with a smile: Why do I feel as if I have been restricted in my freedom? I can't do this or that. Your Majesty is too careful, right? I can be regarded as a person who has practiced martial arts no matter what. Right? Although his mouth was still stubborn, he turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

After entering the inner hall, Yun Shang took off the cloak on her body and handed it to Qin Yi. Qin Yi hung up the cloak, then turned to Shen Ke and said, Go and make a pot of tea for your mother. After standing outside for so long, the empress also drank a pot of hot tea to warm her body.

Shen Ke responded and retreated, Yun Shang smiled and said: It's still Qin Yi who will be considerate.

Qin Yi smiled, and then leaned closer to Yun Shang and said softly: The servant girl specially told Pei Lan to send a letter to the hidden stake in the Shangyi Bureau, and try to get the person who was serving by Concubine Liu to come to us. Come to the palace.

Yun Shang was slightly taken aback, raised her head to look at Qin Yi, and after a moment of silence, she came back to her senses: You mean, the person who will come to deliver the clothes later is most likely the one I'm waiting for gone?

Qin Yi nodded, and then said again: It's just that the empress may have to find a way to push Shen Ke, Pinellia, and Su Mu away, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the empress to ask anything.

Yun Shang was silent for a moment, and then looked at Qin Yi with some doubts: Method? What method do you think is better?

Qin Yi thought for a while, and then said: I heard that there are only four servants in Weiyang Palace. There is so much snow in the world, how can four people be enough?

Yun Chang immediately knew how to send them away, and responded with a smile. Not long after, Shen Ke came in with the teapot, poured a small pot of tea for Yun Shang, filled the teacup up, and then put the teapot on the small stove. Yun Shang gently blew on the froth in the teacup, then raised her head and said: Go and call Ban Xia in, I have something to order.

Qin Yi responded, and asked the palace servants to find Banxia. As soon as Banxia came in, Yunshang ordered: It's snowing outside, and there's also a layer of snow on the ground. Although it's not thick, it's still there. It's very slippery. The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager live in the Taihe Palace. There are only three or four people in the palace. I'm afraid there is no one to clean it up. You take Shen Ke and Su Mu together and find a few palace people who sweep the yard to go to the Taihe Palace. He Gong, help the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager to sweep away the snow in the courtyard, it is best to find charcoal ash to cover the road, so as not to slip and fall.

Ban Xia hurriedly agreed, called Shen Ke, and went out of the inner hall together. Qin Yi saw the three of them leaving Weiyang Palace through the gap in the window, and then turned her head to Yun Shang with a smile and said: Your Majesty is really Filial piety.

Yun Chang smiled lightly, but didn't respond.

After a while, someone came to report: Madam, the clothing bureau has sent clothes.

When Yun Shang heard this, the hand that was caressing the rim of the cup suddenly paused, and then laughed: Send it in.

The bead curtain was lifted, and a palace maid in gray came in. Yun Shang looked at her carefully. She looked about forty years old, with obvious wrinkles on her face, and her hand holding the tray was also very tight. The roughness, it looks like someone who is used to rough work.

The palace man stopped three steps away from Yunshang, and quickly knelt down: My servant pays respects to the empress.

Yun Chang smiled, nodded and said, But did you bring my new clothes?

Yes. The palace man seemed a little nervous, trembling slightly, and said after a long while: The clothes are made of cloud brocade satin, embroidered with plum blossoms that the mother told me, and stuffed with this year's new cotton. The mother may want try?

Yun Chang turned her brows and eyes, and said with a smile: Try it, try it, and see if it fits well. I always feel that I have gained some weight because I have been nestling in the house for the past two days. I don't know if I can still wear it.

Yun Shang said, and asked Qin Yi to screen everyone else in the room away. Yun Chang never liked to be served by too many people when she dressed, it was always a practice, so everyone retreated.

Yun Shang asked Qin Yi to take the winter clothes from the plate and spread them out, touched them, and said: It looks good, I don't know how warm it is.

Qin Yi lifted up the clothes, and waited for Yun Chang to get dressed, Yun Shang stretched out her hand, and asked the palace servant casually: What's your name?

The palace man responded quickly: The maidservant's name is Yuqin.

Yun Chang nodded: Yuqin, right? Do you know why you were able to leave the Huanyi Bureau and enter the Shangyi Bureau? Although two of the three words in these two places are the same, but which word is the same? The gap, I feel, you should be the most clear.

The palace maid named Yuqin quickly knelt down on the ground and said repeatedly: This servant understands, this servant understands. This servant will definitely repay the empress's favor of rebirth, even if she risked her life.

What is the use of asking you to risk your life? I just want to ask you a few questions. I heard that you served by the concubine Liu before? I don't know why you were demoted to the clothes bureau? Yun Shang looked calm, but she was not in a hurry to ask about the past, and only introduced it step by step.

Hearing this, Yuqin bit her lips, the hatred flashed in her eyes, and then she replied softly: The maidservant was sent to the Clothes Bureau because His Majesty... oh, no, it was the Supreme Emperor who was in Liu Taifei's house. When the empress came from the palace, she boasted that the silk flowers on the hairpin of the servant were beautiful that day. On the second day, the servant was sent to the Clothes Bureau by order of Empress Dowager Liu, and was almost beaten to death.

Yun Chang was slightly taken aback, was Concubine Liu such a jealous woman? Didn't I hear that she is a gentle woman like water? It's just that when Yun Chang thinks about it carefully, she also understands that once this woman enters the palace, no matter how innocent and gentle she was at the beginning, she will be trained to be hard-hearted by the open and dark arrows in the palace. If you don't resist, you will only be trampled on by others.

Qin Yi walked around in front of Yunshang and gently tied Yunshang's clothes, Yunshang paused, and said: When you left Concubine Liu, did Concubine Liu give birth to the Seventh Prince?

Yes, the Seventh Prince had already been there for more than three months when the maidservant left the Jasper Palace. Yuqin replied softly.

Yunshang had already put on the clothes, and went to the bronze mirror to take a picture. The clothes were carmine red, and they looked very pretty. Although they were stuffed with a lot of cotton, they didn't look bulky. Yunshang nodded Well, this Shangyi Bureau is pretty good at making clothes. Yun Chang turned around, then walked to the soft couch and lay down, took a sip of tea, and then asked again: Tell me about the situation of Empress Dowager Liu when she gave birth.

Hearing this, Yuqin was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Yun Chang was not in a hurry, drank a cup of tea leisurely, and asked Qin Yi to pour another cup, and then Yuqin opened her mouth softly: Perhaps the empress will not believe it, even though the servant girl was the palace servant who was personally serving the empress dowager Liu at that time. But the servants really don't know what happened on the day of Concubine Liu's concubine giving birth. No, it should be said that no one in the Jasper Palace knows about it.

Yun Chang frowned, a little surprised: No one knows? Why is this?

Yuqin frowned, her eyes were a little blank, as if she was recalling the past, she said after a while: At the beginning, Concubine Liu slipped a few times before, and finally reached the full month, so she cherishes it very much, she is suspicious Someone in the palace harmed her, so he begged His Majesty to find a stable woman outside the palace to deliver the baby, and His Majesty agreed. After Concubine Liu's amniotic fluid broke, His Majesty sent guards to drive all the palace people from Jasper Palace to Jasper Palace Outside. I remember, what the guards said at that time was that Concubine Liu had an order that no palace servants should stay in the Jasper Palace when she gave birth. Afterwards, the guards surrounded the Jasper Palace.”\u003c
