The cold wind howled in the night, and Yan Muan, who was lying beside her without the king, turned over comfortably, feeling that the bed was really comfortable and warm.

Something was wrong with Yongchang in Qiushiyuan. He hadn't had dinner in the first place, but the bed was still not warm, and he couldn't move his hands and feet. The rest of the area away from where he was lying was as cold as an ice cellar, and even the charcoal fire couldn't warm him.

He couldn't help but think of the princess's room. It was so warm that he didn't feel cold even in single clothes. The bed was soft and warm, and the quilt smelled good. Why did he feel that his quilt had a strange smell?

Seeing him turning over several times in succession, Fu Lai walked in eagerly, holding back his smile, "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Yong Chang hummed, "Why is the bedroom so cold?"

Fulai went to see the charcoal basin, added a piece of charcoal, and said, "The charcoal is burning brightly, so I added more charcoal."

"The princess is afraid of the cold. Her house has extra charcoal fire to make it warmer. Maybe the prince will get used to it after staying there for a few days."

The excuse was perfect. Yong Chang had no doubt at all, "What's wrong with the quilt? It smells bad."

Fulai hurried forward and asked carefully, "It smells like wood. The weather is cold and humid. The quilt originally placed on the bed is a little damp. I took a new quilt out of the box. I will have the quilt smoked tomorrow. Remove the smell.”

"Your Majesty, you still feel cold. May I see you again and put an extra quilt on your back?"

Yong Chang nodded, and Fulai took out the heaviest quilt and covered him with it. After a while, he felt warm, and then felt that he couldn't breathe, and became more and more irritable. Fulai was frightened and uneasy, and finally Yong Chang directly He stood up and said, "Go to Qiushiyuan."

As a prince, he would never have thought that a servant would dare to deliberately make things difficult for him. It could only be that it was easy for him to go from frugality to luxury, but it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After sleeping in the princess's room for a few days, he was no longer used to staying in his own room. The yard.

Fulai held the lamp honestly, but he was smiling in his heart, feeling that he was very effective in handling the errands. However, this trick could only be used once, and definitely not a second time.

In a daze, Yan Mu'an heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and thought it was Cai He who came to serve him on a routine basis. He didn't even open his eyes. He opened his eyelids when he heard the footsteps, and what he saw was the widow walking to the bed. He sat down, took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, lay down, and closed his eyes.

Warmth came over me, and I felt that the princess's room was indeed more comfortable. The room was warm, the bed was soft, and the quilt was still fragrant.

"How did you come?"

Yongchang froze and did not dare to say that he was sulking. He only said, "I will come after the official business is done."

Yan Mu'an moved inside, "So the prince got up before he finished speaking. Did he go to handle official business?"

【What a perfect reason! 】

Yongchang said bravely, "It's quite urgent."

Yan Muan was silent, and after a while Yongchang spoke again, "Princess."

"Hmm~"

"I will work harder and be more diligent, and I will definitely be able to get rid of the threat of the Heavenly Saint."

He wanted to tell Yan Muan that there was no need to run away. Yan Muan thought he was talking about his ideals and yawned, "I believe in you, you can definitely do it."

"Ah."

Yongchang turned his head and closed his eyes again when he saw someone, "Thank you for your hard work on Mrs. Liu. Brother Huang said that you won't let your hard work go in vain."

Yan Muan opened his eyes, then closed them again, and let out a heavy breath.

After a sleepless night, Yan Muan got up early the next day and went to the greenhouse in the north of the city. She was still accompanied by guards, but she chose to walk instead of taking a car.

This was her first time walking on the streets of the capital. The last time she came out, she took a carriage directly to Zhaojue Temple, and then she took a carriage directly back to her hometown, but she didn't get a good feel for this era.

The houses on both sides of the street were neat, but they were different from the ancient streets she had visited before. The streets were spacious, paved with bluestones, and fairly clean. People passing by held their sleeves and puffed out white air. The color is in a hurry, and most people have patches on their bodies.

Presumably, the dignitaries are still enjoying the service of their servants in their mansions. Most of the people who can appear on the street at this time are people who are running for life.

After walking for about an hour, just when Yan Muan was about to sweat on his forehead, he finally arrived at the Chengxi Warming Shed. As soon as he arrived, there was a bad smell. There were people coming in and out of the temporary shed, and they were wearing all kinds of clothes. , all of them were patched, not to mention that many of them didn't fit well. Most of them had a piece of cloth wrapped around their heads to cover their messy hair and keep them warm.

There is a queue moving forward slowly. The person at the front fills the bowl with porridge with a spoon. Then he carefully picks up a chopstick of pickles and walks away. The people behind him continue to serve the porridge.

There is no need for anyone to prepare meals here, it all depends on self-consciousness.

Some of the people who had eaten were squatting under the eaves to eat, some were sitting casually on the bluestone slabs used for paving the way to eat, some were carrying them to the greenhouse, some were joking, some were talking about eating and going to work, and some children were still eating. It's noisy, someone is coaxing it, although it's a mess, it's still harmonious.

But everyone who saw Yan Muan stayed away, and no one dared to come forward.

"Didn't you say that the people here are well settled?"

Faced with Yan Mu'an's question, none of the people who came with the palace knew that the guard came here again and a small steward came to answer the question after explaining, "Princess, sometimes I don't know, these people are fine here if they don't suffer from cold or hunger." Well, you see, although their clothes don’t fit very well, they didn’t even have any clothes at all in the first place.”

"We collected them from various places. Although they are not very decently dressed, they can still keep out the cold."

"They are quite satisfied."

"Some good boys have been accepted by Boss Yan. They will be able to live in the courtyard when the Spring Warming Tent is evacuated."

Yan Mu'an walked around, leaving the warm tent in the west of the city and going to the tea house in the south of the city. The sun was already rising, and there were many tea guests in the tea house, talking interesting things in twos and threes. Caihe didn't understand what happened to the princess today. , but didn’t dare to ask more.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Yan Muan exhaled and felt a lot better. She almost forgot how many days she had been here. She was always outside the world. Although she worked hard every day, she felt very empty in her heart. , can't find the direction.

The feeling of not being able to go back and not being able to see tomorrow was really scary. She wanted to go out for a walk to truly experience this era and find the meaning of her existence and future goals.

It is said that people without dreams are separated from salted fish. Now she is not even salted fish!

"Oh, I don't dare to say such things..."

I don't know what was said at the tea table next door. Someone was surprised and quickly lowered his voice. The two of them were almost touching their heads, chatting with joy. Who knows which unlucky guy was ruined by these two people's mouths. .....
