After practicing all night, when it was almost dawn, I couldn't help but crawl into bed and fall into a deep sleep.

An Yunlu brought Lu Wen back to me early to seek treatment, but unfortunately I was in a deep sleep and unconscious, so Yingchun didn't dare to call me.

After the yard was cleaned last night, it snowed for half a night, and there was no trace of the fight last night. Early in the morning, the children in the academy finished their studies and ran to the front yard to play and build snowmen, and the yard suddenly became lively.

An Yunlu held Lu Wenhui's hand and stood quietly under the eaves waiting for me to wake up.

Lu Wen looked back at everyone chasing each other and having a great time. He also wanted to play, but he didn't know how to express it to his mother. He bit his fingers and watched the little book boys having fun, feeling extremely envious.

Yingchun saw that An Yunlu had been waiting outside the door for too long, so she had to wake me up.

After I finished washing up and walked out the door, I saw Lu Wenhui looking anxiously, and I couldn't help but touch his head and said, "If you want to play with everyone, go ahead. Don't be so restrained."

Lu Wenhui looked at his mother after hearing this. An Yunlu said worriedly, "Wenhui has never played with other children. I'm afraid..."

Before An Yunlu finished speaking, I interrupted her and said, "I told you to listen to me, have you forgotten again?"

My domineering attitude made An Yunlu a little overwhelmed. At this time, Lu Chuan came over with a stack of books, bowed to me and said, "Second Young Master, this is the list of servants I have compiled. Please take a look."

I said, "I won't look at it. Just report it to Miss Three. The New Year is coming soon, and the servants' new clothes and rewards will be distributed. You should hurry up. If anyone wants to go home for the New Year, the shifts must be arranged as soon as possible for me to review. This mansion cannot be without people to do the work."

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Can the servants go home for the New Year?"

I said, “Why not?”

I was thinking that they were just working and not selling themselves, but then I changed my mind and realized that they did sell themselves. They sold themselves into the palace to be slaves all their lives. The master's house was their home, and their home was long gone.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and said to Lu Chuan, "Go and count how many people want to go home and take a look. If they want to go back, let them go. Just leave someone to cook and clean."

Lu Chuan wanted to say that this was against the rules, and what if those people went back and never came again? Would His Majesty blame him then?

But after all, I am the master, and Lu Chuan couldn't disobey me, so he had to answer "yes". He took the book and wanted to go into the main house, but saw An Yunlu standing at the door at a loss, so he asked curiously: "Madam, are you going to get medicine? Go get it when your husband is done. You are not in good health, so just stay at home and take good care of Wenhui."

An Yunlu glanced at me and said, "The Second Young Master has not yet replied to Wen for acupuncture, nor has he written a prescription."

After listening to this, Lu Chuan nodded to show that he understood, and went into the main room with the booklet.

I saw that Lu Wenhui didn't dare to go over, so I took his hand, led him to the book boys, and said, "Go, play with everyone."

Lu Wenhui held my hand tightly and didn't dare to let go.

There was no other way, so I had to pull him down and squat, and imitated the other servants, pushing the snow into a pile, pressing it firmly, and then piling it up layer by layer. Soon a round body emerged.

Lu Wenhui watched with great interest, and from time to time he reached out and fiddled with it.

I'm from the south and it never snows in my hometown, so I'm not very good at making snowmen.

But what does it matter? There is no standard for this, as long as you are happy.

The snowman I made fell as I built it, which made me laugh out loud. Soon many little schoolboys came over and helped me build the snowman.

As expected, with more people involved, the workload increased. The body of the snowman was soon completed, and the big round head also came out. Some of the little servants went to find branches, some went to find coal briquettes, and some even stole a carrot from the kitchen. After everyone worked together to put all these things in, a big snowman with branch arms, a round body, a big round head, big black eyes, and a long red mouth stood before them.

We all had a lot of fun, rolling around in the snow and playing snowball fights. Lu Wenhui, who had been reluctant to let go at first, quickly let go and ran with everyone after I took him for a few laps.

I didn't care that my hands were frozen red and I played with a group of half-grown kids. They threw snow all over me, but I made a snowball and threw it back at them without showing any weakness. Soon, the whole yard was filled with flying snowballs and joyful laughter echoed throughout the yard.

An Yunlu stood under the eaves and wiped her tears quietly. Since her son was born, she had never seen him laugh so happily. It was like he had become a different person, more lively and smart, instead of being as lifeless as usual, like a puppet.

Jinping and Yiping were also standing not far from Anyun Road, looking at me like a madman.

Yiping's face was filled with disbelief, while Jinping looked at me as if I were mentally retarded and said with disdain, "Ah Man, are you crazy? Playing snowballs with a bunch of kids."

Yiping can dislike me, but others can’t, so he immediately said, “What’s it got to do with you? You can join in the fun even if you don’t like it.”

Jinping was getting increasingly annoyed. Just as he was about to deal with Yiping, he heard a scream of "Ah!" He looked up quickly and saw that Ah Man had thrown a snowball bigger than his fist at the face of the Crown Prince who had just entered the gate. The Crown Prince was obviously stunned and stood there motionless.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hit, and everyone present was stunned. Daring to attack the Crown Prince, this must be a capital crime, right?

Everyone was looking at me with sympathy, as if they were seeing a dead person.

I knew I had gone too far this time, so I walked up to Zheng Yan somewhat awkwardly. But looking at Zheng Yan's expression, I really couldn't help wanting to laugh. I covered my mouth with my hands, trying not to let myself laugh, and asked in a porcelain voice, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Zheng Yan wiped his face, then spit out the snow in his mouth and said, "Ah Man, you are naughty again."

As soon as Zheng Yan said this, everyone looked at me as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes of disbelief clearly said: "Is this all right?"

Those little servants also knew that the prince was someone who was not easy to mess with. Although Zheng Yan did not lose his temper, they all slipped away. They were afraid of getting into trouble and dared not stay in the yard any longer.

The only people left in the huge yard were Lu Wenhui, who was blinking his eyes, and An Yunlu, who looked embarrassed.

An Yunlu also wanted to take her son away, but Lu Wenhui refused to go, so she could only stand there and dare not leave.

I stuck out my tongue and said, "I didn't expect you to come."
