The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

A light snow had been falling all night, and it intensified this morning, covering the red tiles and green bricks of the palace with a thick layer of white snow.

When Shen Leyan woke up, she found herself in a world covered in silver.

Early in the morning, she was awakened by the bustling sounds outside the door.

"What's going on outside?"

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake!" Caiyue heard the voice and ran in happily.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

"Your Majesty forgot that today is the Winter Solstice!"

"It just so happened that it snowed heavily last night, and this morning all the palaces were busy preparing for the Winter Solstice activities."

"The Emperor knows that Your Majesty loves snow, so he ordered someone to build a huge snowman for you in the yard!"

“Is it already piled up?”

"It's almost done. If the queen had woken up a little later, it might have been completely finished."

"what?"

The smile on Shen Leyan's lips froze. She also wanted to build a snowman...

How come it’s piled up so quickly?

"The Emperor was worried that your hands would get frozen while making the snowman, so he ordered us to build one in advance for you to see."

But she was not afraid of getting her hands cold. Shen Leyan was thinking about playing in the snow at this moment.

Caiyue and Zhiyue have been serving the young lady since they were young, so how could they not know Shen Leyan's little thoughts?

"It's okay, my lady, let's go play snowballs later!"

"Yes, we can also have snowball fights!"

"I heard there are ice sculptures in the Imperial Garden." Caiyue said excitedly while helping Shen Leyan get dressed.

"Let's go and take a look together, otherwise we'll be melted by the sun later."

"Okay, we'll go find the emperor later and see the ice sculptures on the way."

Caiyue carefully dressed up Shen Leyan today. She put on a thick soft silver silk embroidered brocade robe and a thick light pink satin cloak on the outside.

The whole person was wrapped tightly, with only the delicately carved little face exposed.

As soon as she walked out of the warm room, the cold air hit her face, and the tip of her nose soon turned red from the cold wind outside.

Her eyes were attracted by the big snowman in front of her, which was almost as tall as her, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, come and take a look. Do you like it?" The palace maids gathered together with a smile.

"I like it, I like it very much!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. The emperor specifically ordered us to build the snowman higher!"

"The Emperor is so kind to His Majesty."

"I've been in the palace for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen the emperor treat a woman so attentively."

"This grace is unique to Her Majesty!"

Shen Leyan felt a little embarrassed by the compliments from the palace ladies, and quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, don't let this get out, or there will be another storm."

It’s not that Shen Leyan was afraid of anything, she just thought it was too troublesome.

She prefers to keep a low profile...

It is precisely because she is low-key and treats others peacefully, but she still maintains the dignity of a queen when handling matters.

So whether it was the concubines or the palace servants, they were all very happy to listen to her.

"What the servants said is the truth. Don't worry, my lady. We all know the seriousness of the matter."

"These things are only known to us in the palace."

The person who spoke was Qinglian, the first head maid promoted by Shen Leyan after she entered the palace. She was also the maid she trusted most in the palace besides Caiyue and Zhiyue.

She smiled and nodded her head, "Good for you, Qinglian has learned to tease me now."

"Have I been led astray by you two?"

Zhiyue and Caiyue, who were named, both shook their heads, "No way, Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse us!"

"Yes, we dare not lead Sister Qinglian astray."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, it's not that I don't dare, it's that..."

"What is it? If you can't tell me, accept the punishment!"

"Ha ha……"

Shen Leyan took advantage of their inability to react and picked up a big snowball and threw it at them.

"what!"

"My lady..."

"You're being mean!"

"This slave girl must fight back now."

"Come on, let me see if your skills have improved."

The master, his servant and his two companions immediately started playing together, as if time had gone back to when they were still in the Shen Mansion.

At that time, every winter, they would play in the snow together in the yard, just like they do now.

The other palace servants in the courtyard saw them having fun and started laughing too, unconsciously revealing envy in their eyes.

"Why are you still standing there? Come and throw snowballs together!" Shen Leyan turned around and called out.

The palace maids looked at each other for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

"Go ahead and have fun, my lady. We'll just cheer you on from the sidelines!"

"Snowball fights are more fun when everyone is together."

"Yes, our Jingren Palace family must be neat and tidy."

"It's more fun when there are more people. Don't hesitate, come on!" Caiyue greeted excitedly.

"It's a rare good day and opportunity, so we should have fun." Shen Leyan advised enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, this is my order, it's not against the rules."

"As ordered!"

"All is up to the Empress!"

Everyone cheered and joined in the snowball fight.

For a moment, snowballs flew everywhere and laughter echoed throughout the courtyard.

Shen Leyan hadn't laughed so happily for a long time. The last time Emperor Yong'an saw her with such a bright smile was when he was teaching her to ride a horse.

She was so bright at that time, full of energy and vigor.

Ever since she entered the palace, her smile has always been somewhat restrained and subdued.

He stood far away, wishing that time would stop at this beautiful moment. He wanted her to be happy like this forever.

After a while, Shen Leyan was so tired that she was out of breath.

Qinglian was in the same team with her. When she noticed Shen Leyan's panting, she quickly wanted to help her to rest aside.

"My Lady, your forehead is sweating. Let me help you into the rest room first."

"Otherwise, your back will sweat and you'll catch a cold easily."

"It's okay, I'm just wearing too many clothes."

"You guys go ahead and I'll just go in and take off my cloak."

"It's just a few steps, don't worry about me."

Everyone was in high spirits at the moment, and Shen Leyan didn't want to delay them because of a small matter, so she insisted on going in to change clothes alone.

Emperor Yong'an saw that she seemed tired from playing and wanted to go back to her room, so he prepared to show up.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw Shen Leyan suddenly slipped while going up the stairs.

Emperor Yong'an was horrified, but fortunately his body reacted before his brain and flew forward to catch her falling body.

He asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

The yard, which was originally filled with laughter, suddenly became quiet.

The palace servants knelt nervously on the ground, their voices trembling as they said, "This servant deserves death. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"You little slaves, if the Queen suffers any loss, can you afford it?"

Emperor Yong'an had a gloomy face. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't come over just now. The consequences would have been unimaginable.
