Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu ate some chestnuts from the plate.

He asked Xia Lu beside him, "Have you prepared the Laba Festival gifts for tomorrow's trip to Hesheli Mansion?"

"Replying to Princess, I have prepared it early this morning."

"Ah That's good."

"Go to my brother and Mu Jin later and remind them not to forget to accept the invitation to visit Brother Huang's residence tomorrow."

"Yes, princess." Xia Lu squatted and saluted.

It turned out that at the beginning of this month, Huang Cheng sent a visiting card as promised, and just two days before Laba Festival, he went to his Hesheli Mansion in the capital to stay as a guest, cook wine and enjoy the scenery.

Not only did he invite the three siblings, but he also invited them because of Shi Liha and because he was worried that she would feel uncomfortable as the only girl there.

So Huang Cheng mentioned in the letter that his own invitation was a bit over the top, so he asked Wanyu to invite Amur as well.

The next day, before dawn, Wanyu got up with Xia Lian's help.

At this time, the entire capital city was covered with heavy snow, and the white outside the window was picturesque.

Today, she was wearing an exquisite royal blue satin cotton robe embroidered with a snow scene in silver thread.

Wear a thick fur-edged waistcoat on the outside, and a hooded fox fur cape on the outside, which is both warm and elegant.

She wore a pair of cotton boots embroidered with red plum blossoms, which were light and non-slip.

After leaving the gate of Guwaljia Mansion, Shi Liha put the hat on her head.

The hood of the cloak fits the head tightly, and the brim is relatively wide, which protects the neck and most of the face very well.

Not only is it windproof and warm, but it also looks great.

It makes her little face look more delicate and rosy.

"Third brother, third sister, get on the carriage." Shi Mujin urged from the side.

Shi Liha patted his sister's head and said, "Let's go. It's too cold outside."

"Let's go to Andingmen to meet up with Amur first, and then go to Deshengmen Inner Street."

The little head hidden under the hat nodded.

"Well, let's go."

The three siblings quickly boarded the Guwaljia Mansion's carriage, and the maids had already taken measures to keep them warm.

Snow was flying outside the car, but it was warm as spring inside.

The carriage moved slowly along the streets of the capital.

Although the road surface had been cleared, as snowflakes fell from the sky, layers of white snow gradually accumulated on the road again.

As the carriage moved forward, the wheels pressed over the snow, leaving behind a series of ruts of varying depths.

There was also a rustling sound, like a whisper in winter.

Wanyu sat in the warm carriage, opened the curtains, and admired the snow scene outside through the translucent glass windows.

The streets of the capital are now covered with snow. Occasionally, pedestrians can be seen hurrying by, leaving behind a series of footprints of varying depths, as if it is the unique rhythm of winter.

When the carriage arrived at Prince Wen's Mansion, a maid was looking around at the gate.

Seeing that it was the carriage from Guwaljia Mansion that had arrived, he immediately turned around and walked into the mansion.

Soon, Amur was seen walking out of Prince Wen's Mansion with the support of Dolan.

"Watch your step, Gege."

"It's okay. I've walked this road countless times. I won't slip."

"You are just too cautious."

When Shi Liha saw the brother and sister were about to get off the car, he hurriedly called them to stop.

"Don't get out of the car. Don't move in the car. The sudden change of temperature can easily lead to catching a cold."

"I'll just go get Amur, just sit still."

"Oh, I know."

Wanyu reminded Shi Liha before he got off the car.

"Third brother, take your umbrella with you. Don't let the wind and snow get Sister Amur's dress wet."

"it is good."

After Shi Liha got off the carriage, Wanyu and Mu Jin, brother and sister, stared at each other in the carriage.

But it wasn't long before I heard Shi Liha's voice outside.

"The ground is slippery, be careful when you get on the carriage."

"Yeah." Amur replied shyly.

Wanyu walked to the curtain of the car, lifted it open, and saw Amur coming up.

"Sister, come in quickly. It's too cold outside."

As he said this, he extended his hand to Amur and helped her into the carriage.

After both of them got in and sat down, the carriage continued to move forward.

Cross Andingmennei Street and enter Deshengmennei Street directly, and finally enter an alley.

"Xu~"

"My two princes, my two princesses, we have arrived at the Hesheli Mansion."

There was the voice of the coachman outside.

After everyone got off the carriage, they saw an exquisite courtyard.

Exquisite and simple, the golden lock and copper ring on the red lacquer door gleam in the snow.

At this time, Hesheli Huang Cheng was waiting at the gate with his guards and servants.

After seeing that it was a carriage from Guwaljia Mansion, he immediately walked over.

He greeted the four people with a gentle smile on his face.

"Brother Shi San, brother Mu Jin."

"Amurgege, Sister Wanyu."

"Welcome to my humble abode."

Especially when he looked at Wanyu, a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

Shi Li laughed and said, "Brother Huang, I'm sorry for disturbing you today."

Shi Mujin: "Second Brother Huang."

Wan Yuyu noticed the tenderness in the other person's eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, making her smile, and even her words were a little sweeter than usual.

"Brother Huang~"

Amur smiled stiffly and said, "Young Master Huang Cheng."

[There's really no way to hide! ]

Huang Cheng glanced past Amur and looked at the three siblings of the Shi family, waving his hand.

"Let's go. It's snowing heavily outside. Let's go into the mansion."

Everyone followed Huang Cheng's steps, slowly walked into the mansion, and walked along the bluestone path.

In the courtyard, snow covered every corner, but failed to conceal the elegant charm of the mansion.

The small rockery, stone bridge and pond are all decorated with snow like a fairyland.

Across the front yard is a large plum forest.

The red and white plum blossoms stand proudly against the frost and snow, and their fragrance is intoxicating, as if showing their unyielding pride to everyone.

There is an attic hidden behind the plum forest. This is the gathering place prepared by Huang Cheng for several people.

The second floor of the attic is a study, and it is connected to a warm room.

Compared to the spacious study, this warm room is not big, but it is very warm inside.

In addition, it had been decorated in advance, and the interior looked extremely elegant.

There are several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, various classics are placed on the bookshelves, and the air is filled with the faint scent of ink.

Outside the window lattice is a carefully trimmed plum garden with snow scenery.

After arriving at the warm room, the Shi Liha brothers looked at the attic with some curiosity.

There is not only a warm room, but also a study room next to it.

There were a large number of books stored inside, which shocked and excited the two brothers.

The two looked at each other and admired Huang Cheng's talent even more.

In the warm room, Huang Cheng looked at Wanyu with a gentle and kind voice, and a hint of imperceptible joy.

"It's great that you're here."

Wanyu smiled and handed him the gift she had prepared in advance.

"Here, this is a gift I prepared for you."

"What Xia Lu just gave to the housekeeper is a Laba Festival gift prepared for you."

Huang Cheng was surprised and asked, "Is this just for me?"

"Yeah!" Wanyu nodded seriously.

"Thank you, Sister Wanyu."

Wanyu's face turned slightly red and she shook her head embarrassedly.

"As long as you like it."

When Huang Cheng took the box from Wanyu's hand, their fingers touched lightly inadvertently, and an electric current seemed to flow through his body in an instant, making him feel numb.

Amur had been watching the two people's actions from the side.

【Why are you touching me?! 】

[Hmph! Such lecherous behavior!]

My dear sister, please don't be fooled by him.

Then she let out a cry of pain as if accidentally, startling the two men awake.

"Ah! So hot!"

"Hiss, this teapot is so hot."

When the Shiliha people heard Amur's voice, they arrived before the sound.

"What's wrong? Are you burned?"

Wanyu turned her head and saw Amur gently blowing on the fingertips of his right hand.

"Sister Amur, are you okay? Are you burned?"

Amur shook his head, "I'm fine."

"I just accidentally bumped into it when I was picking up the teapot. Don't worry, it will be fine in a while."

"I originally wanted to make tea for you, but I didn't expect to hurt myself instead."

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Wanyu tried to persuade her.

"Why does my sister need to make tea? Xia He, come and make tea."

"Yes, I'll be right there."

From an angle that no one could see, Huang Cheng looked at Amur with cold eyes.
