After the game emperor awakens

After the frost, autumn and winter come, and Yujing is freezing cold.The sky is snowing for days, the earth is covered with silver, and the branches are in full bloom. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous.People are all nested in the palace, guarding the charcoal fire to keep warm, and have no intention of going out to enjoy the cold.

The roads were covered with snow and it was inconvenient to travel. Lu Xuechao sympathized with everyone and exempted the daily regular meeting. If there was nothing important to do, there was no need to go out.

The climate in Changli is extremely cold, and Yujing is extremely cold in the north. Every winter, it is a land of ice and snow.It is also known as Baiyujing in the sky because of the vast expanse of white snow.

The internal guard distributed charcoal fire and winter clothes to each palace, and the Chongxue Palace gave enough silver charcoal—His Majesty has emphatically ordered that Her Majesty the Queen is afraid of the cold, and the work of keeping warm must be done in place, and Her Majesty must not be cold freezing.

In fact, why do I need to order it specially?Even though Her Highness the Empress was still a disused empress in previous years, Her Majesty has already instructed many times to send the most ice cubes in summer and the most charcoal fire in winter, so that His Highness's residence must be warm in winter and cool in summer.This is the case every year, and their ears can hear cocoons.

The common people did not have such good conditions as the palace, and they could not afford to burn charcoal fires, so they only had a thin layer of quilts to keep warm.It is freezing to the bone to go out to work, and it is impossible to make a living while hiding at home. Every winter, I don’t know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death.Fortunately, there are Lin Chan branches this year, and the rice fields and cotton fields have a bumper harvest. The shops that Lu Xuechao had had people buy came in handy, selling rice and cotton clothes at a low price, and spreading the word about the method of curing bacon so that the common people can save money. Live a tough winter.

Pity the freezing world, Xie Chongjin and the ministers have to go to court every day.

Xie Chongjin went straight to the Chongxue Palace as soon as he turned to court.

He was dressed in a deep purple golden dragon court dress, and a fur coat with a black collar and fur trim. His hanging crown made a sound, and he pushed open the door of the Chongxue Palace with his whole body covered in wind and snow, and then quickly closed it to prevent the cold outside from invading the palace. .

"What about Qing Shu?" he asked.

The palace servant saluted: "His Royal Highness is reading in the Nuan Pavilion."

In such a cold weather, all outdoor activities are stopped, and we can only read books to pass the time indoors.

Xie Chongjin ran straight to the Nuan Pavilion, and as soon as he entered, he felt the billowing heat wave blowing towards his face.The indoor and outdoor temperatures are wildly different.The room was warm and warm, not only did he melt away the chill he had just walked from the ice and snow, but he even felt hot in the heavy court clothes wrapped around him.

Lu Xuechao was half leaning on the beauty's couch and reading with downcast eyes. She was so engrossed in reading that she didn't notice him coming in.

Xie Chongjin took off the crown, untied Luoxue's fur coat, and quietly walked to Lu Xuechao's side, and suddenly said, "What book are you reading?"

Lu Xue was taken aback, looked up at him, and closed the book: "You didn't make a sound when you came in, are you trying to scare me?"

"This is wronging me. It is clear that you are too engrossed in reading, and you ignore me when I come here. What kind of book is so beautiful?" Xie Chongjin glanced at the title of the book on the cover, "The Complete Book of Weapon Casting..."

He paused: "I thought you were reading poems and scripts, but I didn't think you were working hard."

"It is said that I want to create a weapon more powerful than Yelang, but I can't create it out of thin air." Lu Xue said, "I have to learn."

Xie Chongjin sighed softly: "Qing Shu is too tired for me."

"I'm not working hard for you. I'm from Changli. I should serve Changli wholeheartedly." Lu Xuechao opened the book again, "You have a lot of work to do every day, and you have endless memorials and imperial orders that you can't finish. There is no time to worry about these things. You just need to do well what the emperor wants to do, and don’t need to worry about the rest, otherwise what do you want your servants to do?"

Xie Chongjin sat down on the couch, let Lu Xuechao lean against him, and emphasized: "You are not a subject, you are my wife and monarch."

"I know." Lu Xue smiled and nodded her head, "Father ordered me to assist you well, those who are capable will work harder, let me leave it here to waste."

Xie Chongjin joked: "If you're so worried, you should be the emperor. I just eat the clean and soft rice."

When the others heard this, they would probably kneel down in fear and say no, and put aside the suspicion of coveting the throne.After hearing this, Lu Xuechao thought about it seriously, and shook his head: "I am not as good as you when I am emperor."

Those who achieve great things must have a firm mind.Lu Xuechao didn't want his mind to be wasted and rusted. He spent so many lifetimes desperately learning various skills, one was to fight against the mastermind behind the scenes, and the other was because he had to find something to do so he wouldn't be in the endless, tormenting Lose yourself in the samsara that drives anyone crazy.

Being stuck in a period of time with nothing to do for too long breaks the will.Learning different things can give him a sense of freshness, make him feel that he is still a living person, and time is still flowing, rather than a monster living in a cycle forever, so that he can keep the last bit of sobriety and reason.

Xie Chongjin has actually wasted so many lifetimes, being a walking corpse for so many years, living a programmed life day after day and year after year.

Lu Xuechao always dies early in every life, and his life is not as long as that of Xie Chongjin. Xie Chongjin's life is a life that is truly death without freedom, far more difficult than him.

If it were him, after so many lifetimes of wasted time, would he be free once, not only would he not go crazy, his brain would not get rusty, but he would also be able to quickly devote himself to political affairs, revitalize Changli, and handle government affairs in an orderly manner?

Lu Xuechao has never experienced it before, so he cannot confirm this answer.

But he felt that he could not do better than Xie Chongjin.

No one in this world can do better than Xie Chongjin.

Xie Chongjin smiled, and changed the subject: "Qingshu's birthday is coming, and I want to hold a birthday banquet for you in this Chongxue Palace. I owe you so many times... I should make it up in one go."

Lu Xuechao was born on the fifth day of November, the day after the heavy snowfall.

It snows almost every day in Yujing in winter, and the heavy snowfall of the 24 solar terms is even more truly heavy on this day.Lu Xuechao was born on a snowy night, and when the morning sun rose the next day, he was also born.Surprisingly, as soon as he was born, the snow stopped overnight and the morning glow was bright. That day was a rare sunny day in Changli winter.

Hence the name, Xue Dynasty.

On that day, the queen in the palace went out with the one-year-old prince in her arms, and said with a smile: "It's snowing and it's snowing for days, Huaiyun is bored in the palace, let's see if the morning glow outside is beautiful?"

The little prince babbled and smiled, looking at Zhaoxia with bright eyes.

Later when Lu Xuechao married into the Eastern Palace, the Queen mentioned this incident to him, and laughed that perhaps it was fate that had already been formed at that time.

Xie Chongjin has always attached great importance to Lu Xuechao's birthday.Every year after the age of six, Xie Chongjin accompanied him to celebrate his birthday, never absent, and a gift every year, from the age of seven to the age of 17.

After the age of 17, he entered the cold palace. On his birthday, Xie Chongjin did not forget to ask someone to send him a congratulatory gift. It seemed that he had carefully selected it himself, but it was a pity that he could not give it to him personally, nor could he hold a birthday party for him.

Not to mention how many years he lived in advance, Lu Xuechao couldn't even celebrate his birthday, only the anniversary of his death.

Lu Xue said: "Changli's current situation, don't make a fuss and waste it. Otherwise, I won't be happy watching it."

"I know that we are tidy, diligent and thrifty in managing the house." Xie Chongjin said with a smile, "We will not be extravagant."

-

Strictly speaking, after this birthday, Lu Xuechao will only truly turn 20 years old.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that Her Royal Highness is only a weak crown.

It's really that Lu Xuechao is too powerful and omnipotent, his usual temperament is as cold as ice and snow that has not melted for a thousand years, as if he has lived for a long time.They all regarded him as a god, ignoring that he was still so young, not a few years older than them.

For Lu Xuechao's birthday, the whole harem would naturally celebrate it.Not only Xie Chongjin, but everyone also prepared a congratulatory gift for Lu Xuechao, trying their best not to be compared by others.

In the Hanxiang Pavilion, Huayan was picking and choosing from a pile of treasures in the warehouse.

"The color of this satin is too vulgar, not worthy of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Can this white jade bracelet be called white jade? It's not as white as His Highness's wrist!"

"That's not okay, gold and silver vulgar things, His Highness will definitely not like them."

Choosing a gift, Huayan will suffer from difficulty in choosing flowers.

He quietly went to inquire with Tan Hualang next door: "Xinian, what gift did you prepare for His Highness?"

Fu Xinian replied: "The only copy of the poetry collection of Li Qinghe, a great poet in the former dynasty, and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study."

Hua Yan clicked her tongue: "You educated people are so educated in giving things. Then do I have to search for some orphan copies?"

"It's hard to find a single copy, and I got this one by accident." Fu Xinian said, "Gifts are all intentions. If you mix some rouge and gouache, His Highness will also like it."

Huayan was distressed: "I adjusted it, but Her Royal Highness's lips are red without pimples, and her eyebrows are black without painting. No matter what color I adjust, it is not as good-looking as Your Highness herself. Your Highness looks natural, and adding makeup will not look beautiful. "

Makeup and makeup are all embellishments, and Lu Xue sculpts it naturally, it is already very beautiful.

Fu Xinian helped out with an idea: "Then adjust the fragrance."

"I have sent Leng Meixiang before, there is no incense more suitable for His Highness, and I can't make a better one."

Fu Xinian thought about it: "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen is proficient in rhythm, although I haven't been lucky enough to hear it, what if you give me a piano?"

Huayan doesn't understand writing and ink, but she is good at singing and dancing, has a good command of rhythm, and has the ability to appreciate the piano.

Hua Yan glared at him: "How did you come up with the term "Qin Se Harmony"? His Majesty gave the Crown Princess a lyre when he was the crown prince. That qin. If I give the qin, wouldn’t it be a robbery from His Majesty?”

"..." Now even Fu Xinian was in trouble, "I have never heard of it, and I have never heard His Highness play the piano after entering the palace."

Naturally, Fu Xinian had never heard of it.It was mentioned by Xie Chongjin when he was telling Huayan a story.

Hua Yan had never seen that piano before.

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are so busy that they don't have time to play the zither." Huayan lifted her foot and walked out, "I knew you were unreliable, so I'd better figure it out on my own."

"Hey—" Fu Xinian looked at his back and wanted to call out, but Huayan had gone far away.

He shook his head secretly, and smiled helplessly: "I know it's unreliable, but every time something happens, I'm the first one to come to see me."
