"My Lady, it's so nice to see the snow falling today. The plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are also blooming a little."

Cao Qinmo was peeling an orange while wearing long armor, and the orange juice dripped onto her fingertips.

Exuding a sweet scent, Hong Zhou next to him was trying to snatch the cloth tiger from Princess Wen Yi's hand.

Cao Qinmo handed the orange to Liu Hua, and then handed the other cloth tiger to Hong Zhou's wet nurse.

Liu Hua ate the orange and looked at the snow light seeping through the plum blossom-shaped window.

The faint falling snow covered the red color of the newly planted red plum blossoms in the Imperial Household Department.

"Indeed, someone is playing the flute in the sky, blowing down these jade-like snowflakes that scatter all over the world."

An Lingrong, who was stuffing cotton into a cloth tiger beside Liu Hua, secretly took note of this sentence.

An Lingrong has been reading more books recently, but she still hasn't found the source of this sentence.

A sense of loneliness and desolation welled up in my heart, and I thought to myself: "Sister should get along better with them."

However, An Lingrong sniffed the scent of the spiritual fragrance and secretly rejoiced: "But, my sister always has a tacit understanding with me. Even the emperor can't compare to the friendship between me and my sister."

An Lingrong lowered her eyebrows and looked at the cloth tiger in her hand, then stuffed a large piece of cotton into it.

Liu Hua looked at the intricately crafted cloth tiger, then turned to An Lingrong and said, "You made one so quickly! I wonder how many you've made for me these past few days.

Eat this orange slice and take a rest."

In An Lingrong's sight, the wrist was thin, and between the two slender fingers were crushing orange and yellow tangerine petals.

Just as he paused in front of her lips, An Lingrong's eyes were dark and unclear, and her neck was slightly tilted forward.

The tip of her nose touched Liu Hua's fingers, and her lips gently held the orange segments between Liu Hua's fingers.

Zhu Xi, who had already returned to Shoukang Palace, came to Yonghe Palace again with a dozen eunuchs and palace maids.

Zhuxi lifted the glass curtain, bowed profusely, and congratulated Liu Hua, "Your Highness, Concubine Qian, is overjoyed. With the New Year drawing to a close and the victory at the front complete, the birth of the Fifth Prince is just in time."

Cao Qinmo echoed from the side, "That's true, that's why the Emperor wants to hold a grand banquet for the Fifth Prince's full moon.

Your Majesty's mother, when you gave birth last time, she was too late to act and the palace gates were locked, so she couldn't come in.

The Emperor has invited your mother to the full moon banquet this time, and I heard she might stay for half a month."

An Lingrong put away her needlework. She glanced at Cao Qinmo and said, "Lady Cao is quite well-informed."

Cao Qinmo smiled awkwardly and explained to Liu Hua, "In fact, most people in the palace already know about this. After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to make careful preparations for such a big event.

Everyone in the palaces of Concubine Nian and Concubine Duan, who previously assisted in managing the six palaces, knew this clearly."

Liu Hua frowned slightly, smiled, thanked Zhuxi for his hard work, and then asked Caiju to send Zhuxi out.

He gave Dongli a wink, and Dongli understood and went to the inner room to get 50 taels of silver notes.

Cao Qinmo personally held the princess in her arms, used a hot water bottle to warm her feet, and patiently explained: "The Empress Dowager personally appointed Concubine Duan as the assistant to the six palaces. The Empress Dowager also recognized Concubine Duan as the first concubine."

Liu Hua took an ear pick and lay down on his side. An Lingrong put the cloak she had given Liu Huaxiu on him.

Dongli gently dug Liu Hua's ears.

Liu Hua's hand touched the porcelain cup of Junyao casually, thinking in his heart: "It's time for another fight, Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan against Nian Shilan, Nian Shilan is really in great danger."

【Xijiang Rice Lane】

Jueluo Yiche personally stood in the snowstorm and gave porridge to the poor people in front of the Nian Mansion.

Even during the prosperous reigns of Kangxi and Qianlong, impoverished people still existed. On cold winter nights, they were unable to get enough food or clothes.

Whoever can give them something to eat at this time is the greatest kind person.

Nian Shishao was wearing a thick yellow-brown fur coat. When she saw the poor people in thin clothes in front of the mansion, she immediately put the fur coat in the hands of her maid and asked her to take it in quickly.

In the bleak snow and wind, Nian Shishao, accompanied by her maid, stood next to Jueluo Yiche from behind.

"Sister-in-law, how much have you spent recently?"

Jueluo Yiche looked at Feixue, sighed, and said with some heartache: "I have been giving alms for more than 20 days in a row, and I have spent taels."

Nian Shishao said seriously, "The poor people have a very hard time in winter. We need to send them cotton clothes. The people who receive them must sign their name.

Remember to sell all the good things in this new mansion that my brother built, and sell them with great fanfare."

Jueluo Yunche felt angry, his face flushed as he looked at Nian Shishao's youthful and beautiful face.

She said very dissatisfiedly: "You are just an unmarried woman, why do you have to show your face like this?

It would be better to sell the land deeds directly than to go to a pawn shop and sell the things in the house!

We are so poor that we have to sell our things. How can we maintain our dignity as a family?

Nian Shishao held Jueluo Yiche's hand tightly and explained carefully: "Sister-in-law, I know you are the daughter of the Duke of Puguo and you are very proud, but now..."

Nian Shishao took a step closer and whispered, "The Emperor is too wary of us. Saving our lives is the most important thing. As long as we do this and gain a reputation among the people, the Emperor won't be able to kill us easily.

As long as we don’t die, there’s no telling what will happen in the future.”

A wet nurse came running out and said, "Madam, the general has taken the young master away."

Jueluo Yunche looked at Nian Shishao with no surprise, and the noble qualities of the lady from this wealthy family made her understand instantly.

Jueluo Yunche was filled with shock and fear. He said to the accountant, "What are you still standing there for? There are so many people in the capital. Why don't you go to the market and buy more meat?"

【Sui Yu Xuan】

Zhen Huan has been imprisoned in the Suiyuxuan by Yinzhen for two months, and Jiang Zhongmin from the Imperial Household Department is still very good at analyzing current affairs.

The amount of charcoal supplied to Suiyuxuan did not decrease, but instead increased significantly on the pretext that Zhen Huan was pregnant with the heir to the throne.

The main hall of Suiyuxuan is filled with the finest daffodils, phalaenopsis and other fresh flowers.

Pearl took a cloak carefully made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was fumigating it with the scent of flowers.

Huanbi brought a bowl of black chicken soup into the warm room. Zhen Huan quickly took it with both hands and said with some distress, "How can you worry about what a servant does?"

Huanbi first covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, then said to Zhen Huan: "Sister taught me how to read and write, and now my handwriting is becoming more and more beautiful.

So what's the big deal if a younger sister cooks a bowl of soup for her older sister?"

Jin Xi beside her also said: "The Queen and Huan promised that since they are sisters with a common goal, it should be a good thing.

The first snow this year came a little late, and it just so happened that Concubine Qian gave birth to the fifth prince, and the emperor had to prepare a family banquet.

It will be held in the Yuqing Palace as in previous years, and the princes and ladies from outside the palace will be invited. I heard that it will be a grand celebration."

Zhen Huan looked at the snow outside the window, recalled her first meeting with Yinzhen in Yime Garden, and her heart moved.
