Autumn passed and winter came, the time was long, and in a blink of an eye, the lingering prestige of autumn dissipated, and the icy cold wind gradually hit the capital.

Snow has already fallen in Anyang in November. When you open the window in the morning, you can see the vast expanse of whiteness outside.

Xiao Mo has been pregnant for four months now, and her originally flat abdomen is gradually bulging. Although only a small half of the pregnancy period has passed, her whole body has gradually become a little bulky—maybe it is not bulky, but Zhong Shao often I always take special care when I see it, so I think so.

On winter mornings, the sky always dawns very late, and when Xiao Mo woke up, it was still pitch black outside the window.

Liang Guo’s court meeting originally followed the rules of the previous court. It started at the beginning of the year, and then depending on the number of affairs, the fastest time was no more than an hour. .However, this rule was only enforced in the first dynasty of Taizu. After Emperor Taiping succeeded to the throne, he felt that the early morning was too early, and he couldn't get up in the morning, so he simply pushed back the time by an hour.

Then Emperor Jingyuan succeeded to the throne, probably because he was used to the early court at that time, so he didn't change the time.When it comes to Emperor Yongning, this rule has been enforced for decades, and it has been three dynasties in her place, so naturally she didn't bother to change it, so she continued to enforce it.Otherwise, every morning court would probably start in the dark, and the monarchs and ministers would have to get up in the middle of the night.

It has been half a year since Xiao Mo entered the court to participate in politics, and he was used to getting up to court at Mao's hour, so he naturally woke up when the time came.It's just that the weather is cold, even though there are earth dragons in the dormitory, and a charcoal basin is added at night, the hall can even be called warm as spring, but it is still a lot lazy in the morning, and the warmth of the bed makes people feel nostalgic... Especially It is the body temperature of another person beside him.

Since the beginning of winter, Zhong Shao still climbed over the wall every night, but Xiao Mo couldn't stand it anymore.After all, the weather is cold, not to mention that Zhong Shao is prone to catch cold when running around in the middle of the night, in fact, she herself is more attached to that warmth, waking up every morning with no one around is not so pleasant.

So half a month ago, Xiao Mo called the two nuns to have a good talk - unlike Zhong Shao, she was a princess and the only heir of Emperor Yongning, the palace people might neglect Zhong Shao , but no one dared to neglect her—afterwards, the two nuns seemed to report to Emperor Yongning again, and finally abolished the rule of separation reluctantly.

When the first snow fell this winter, Zhong Shao finally moved back to his wife's side as he wished, ending the hard work of climbing the wall every night.

Xiao Mo who woke up in the morning was still a little attached to the temperature around him, and didn't want to get up early, so he blinked his opened eyes and closed them again.Just a slight movement of the body, but the people beside him were startled awake.

The slender arms wrapped around Xiao Mo's thick waist, and he carefully embraced him in his arms. Zhong Shao's voice was no longer as clear as before, but still full of sleepiness: "Ah Mo, you Wake up, do you want to get up early?"

Xiao Mo's closed eyes opened again, looking up with the slight light of the pearl in the hall, only to find that Zhong Shao's eyes were still closed, and the cautiousness just now seemed to be just a subconscious movement.

Zhong Shao's embrace is very warm, especially in winter, it makes people nostalgic.

Because of the old incident between Emperor Yongning and Su Han, Xiao Mo was born with some deficiencies. He is especially afraid of the cold in winter. When he wakes up, his hands and feet are often cold.Until she married Zhong Shao, the temperature of one person became that of two people. Zhong Shao is like a small stove in winter, and can always protect her well. The feeling of cold hands and feet, as long as she is in the , Xiao Mo never felt it again.

At this moment, Xiao Mo's body was warm, but he still stretched out his arms to hug the person beside him, and at the same time responded softly: "No, it's not yet time, you can sleep for a while."

After the words fell, Zhong Shao opened his eyes. Although his eyes were still hazy, his brows were frowned: "Why are your hands cold again?" While speaking, he pulled Xiao Mo to fall on him Her hand was stuffed directly into the jacket, sticking to her body to keep her warm.

In fact, Xiao Mo didn't feel that her hands were cold, but when his palms were pressed against Zhong Shao's tight belly, he found that the temperature of the other's body was indeed much warmer than that of his own.I can feel the heat passing over, and I can also feel Zhong Shao's seriousness and care at the moment, but feeling the tight and delicate touch under the palm, Xiao Mo feels that his thoughts are a little drifting...

Zhong Shao had already woken up a lot, felt that Xiao Mo's hands were gradually warming up, recalled Xiao Mo's words before, and said: "It's still early, Ah Mo, please sleep a little longer, the palace servants will..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, because the hand on his lower abdomen seemed to be getting a little restless.

Turning his fingertips lightly, he slowly drew circles on Zhong Shao's flat abdomen. Xiao Mo obviously felt the body under his palm tense up, and the breathing of the person beside him also stagnated.She was inexplicably itchy and wanted to do something.However, before she could take the next move, her hand was held down by the other party, and the voice that sounded in her ear again became more subtle and hoarse: "Ah Mo, don't make trouble."

Xiao Mo's hand was held down, but he raised his head slightly, and then took advantage of the situation and lightly kissed Zhong Shao's chin.She didn't say anything, but the atmosphere in the bed curtain suddenly became ambiguous.

Zhong Shao's throat moved, and he was about to speak again, but he felt Xiao Mo suddenly withdraw his hand.Even so, the fingertips slid across the lower abdomen, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it always made people feel that there was some nostalgia and... seduction in the caress?

Since Xiao Mo was diagnosed as pregnant, the two have been following the rules for three months. Zhong Shao felt a bit tormented when he embraced Wen Xiangnuanyu but couldn't move.Xiao Mo came to tease her from time to time, she just felt that she was not well.But so what?She didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Mo, and now although Xiao Mo wasn't angry anymore, and his whole body gradually regained his energy, his stomach was getting up, and she didn't dare to ask her to do anything.

After being teased early in the morning, when the palace people came to call, Zhong Shao looked at Xiao Mo's little eyes with sadness.

Seeing Zhong Shao's mournful look, Xiao Mo couldn't help smiling, and just about to say a few words of comfort, she hugged her full, then kissed her heavily on her lips, and said in her ear, "Don't be complacent." , I remember it all, after the child is born, how much you have teased me now, I will definitely get it back!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mo wasn't annoyed at all, instead he smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

************************************************** **

Today's court meeting seems to be particularly long, Zhong Shao has already wandered around outside the Xuanzheng Hall for seven or eight times, and he has not seen retreating from the court.

She was a little worried, but finally stopped wobbling, and simply walked outside the palace gate and waited.The guard Habayashi and the servant standing beside him just raised their eyes to look at her, and pretended they didn't see it, and let her listen to the court proceedings outside.

Today's morning court has dragged on for so long, something big has indeed happened.

It was already the middle of winter, and the weather in Anyang was getting colder and colder. It had snowed heavily for several days before, and it was almost a disaster.Whereas Anyang escaped the snowstorm, other places did not.Many states in the northern land were affected by disasters, houses collapsed and livestock froze to death. Earlier, Emperor Yongning issued a decree to relieve the disaster. As a result, all the money and food for the disaster relief were embezzled. Countless people in the northern land starved to death and froze to death. The news still spread Back to Anyang.

Not surprisingly, Emperor Yongning was furious, and he was dealing with this matter today.From the distribution of money and food by the Ministry of Households to the officials in charge of disaster relief in the state government, all the officials who handled the matter were imprisoned, and there were all kinds of entanglements, and almost half of the people in the court could be involved.Afterwards, the three divisions were ordered to interrogate the matter, and Dali Temple Minister, Yushi doctor, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment all appeared today, causing a lot of trouble.

The court meeting was getting longer and longer during the testimonies of the three divisions and the defense of the prisoner. Zhong Shao waited until noon and couldn't break up.

It wasn't until noon that the court was finally closed, and Zhong Shao heard the commotion and hurried to the apse—at this time, the court was just a time for everyone to eat and drink, and it would take no more than two quarters of an hour before they had to start again, not in the afternoon. I know how long it will take.

Zhong Shao ran fast, and when he arrived at the apse, Emperor Yongning and Xiao Mo hadn't arrived yet, so she asked the palace man for a hand stove, and when Xiao Mo stepped into the apse, he stuffed it directly into her hand, and put the cold one in her hand. That one was replaced.

As soon as he touched Xiao Mobing's icy hands, Zhong Shao felt distressed immediately. While letting her hold the stove and covering her hands to help her keep warm, he said, "If I had known that today's parliament would last for such a long time, I wouldn't have It’s time for you to come, it’s time to ask for leave.”

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Mo quickly glanced at A Niang beside him, although he didn't see any displeasure in her, he still blamed Zhong Shao: "Ah Shao, don't talk nonsense, the court discussion is a big deal, it's not a joke ?!"

Before Zhong Shao could speak, Emperor Yongning waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, don't play tricks on me. Ah Shao loves you so much, so can A Niang blame her for this?!" She finished speaking His expression faded, and he became serious again: "However, this is a major event, so don't ignore it, Mo'er, it's better if you stay by and take a look, so as not to be deceived by others in the future."

It can be seen that Emperor Yongning is also a little annoyed by today's incident, and he intends to use a heavy code, so he will not let it go.

Zhong Shao actually knew that it was not good to join Emperor Yongning at this time, otherwise it would be her own bad luck if she provoked anger.But feeling the little hand under his hand that hadn't warmed up after covering it for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally said: "I don't know how long the court meeting in the afternoon will last. Ah Mo is afraid of the cold. It's been a long time. Can Madam let someone Give her a hand stove?"

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Mo frowned before Emperor Yongning opened his mouth: "How can I be so delicate, how bad it is for the ministers to see it?!"

In fact, now that Xiao Mo is pregnant, he already has privileges.Emperor Yongning was afraid that she would be exhausted from standing for too long in the morning, so he asked someone to add a chair to the Xuanzheng Hall a month ago, and let her sit down to discuss politics.This treatment is even worse than that of the crown prince. If she is given a hand stove from time to time, it will be more expensive than the emperor himself, and the ministers should give it to the officials when they see her.

Xiao Mo didn't want to cause trouble for Auntie in this eventful autumn, but Emperor Yongning didn't feel dissatisfied when he heard the words. Speaking of which, Xiao Mo's cold hands and feet were brought out of his mother's womb, and it's all because she was pissed off by Su Han back then. Hurt.Therefore, she felt more tolerant about this matter, and said: "It's okay, Ah Shao can think about you like this, it's because she loves you so much, you should cherish it."

Xiao Mo felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, she turned her beautiful eyes slightly, and then changed the subject: "Okay, mother, let's not talk about this. The rest is only a quarter of an hour, and we have to discuss things later, so let's hurry up." some food..."

Before the words were finished, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side: "So, the time for me to come is just right."

The three of them turned their heads and saw that it was the Grand Concubine who came, and behind her were two palace maids, holding two food boxes in their hands.

Emperor Yongning's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to hide, but in front of the palace full of palace people and the two juniors, Zhong Shao and Xiao Mo, she couldn't really hide.Now that the young couple knew about their entanglement, they wouldn't take the initiative to say anything at this time, they just stood aside obediently, as if they specially reserved a chance for the two of them to talk.

"..." I don't need your understanding, I want to leave, I don't want to talk to her at all!

Seeing the Concubine Gui, Emperor Yongning couldn't help but think of her aggressive appearance back then.

Also, that muddled night of entanglement...

The author has something to say:

Zhong Shao (complaint): If you don’t give food, you still have to tease me, I can’t live through this day

Xiao Mo (serious): I don’t want to eat it

Zhong Shao (gritting teeth): I...you wait, wait until the buns come out of the drawer and see how I get them back

Xiao Mo (smiling): Alright, I'll wait, but I don't know who will eat who when the time comes

*********

Emperor Yongning (annoyed): One mistake will cause eternal hatred...

Concubine Gui (raising eyebrows): Do you think you can escape? !
