Sometimes the palace is sunny

"The snow was so heavy before, but when it's time to celebrate the new year, there is no snow. This winter is really abnormal, isn't it?"

The bright sun shone on the window, and the white window paper seemed to become warm and cozy. Zhao Surui, who was sitting by the window, yawned and continued:
"Qin Tianjian said that when there is more snow in winter, there will be more rain in summer. This year there will be three heavy snowfalls in a row, so next year there must not be three heavy rains."

It was raining the day the news of his brother's death came to the palace. He was sitting in the Wenhua Palace bored, listening to Li Congyuan tell him "Shangshu Yugong"*, which happened to be the section of Huai River, what "Juegong" Only the five colors of soil, Yupan Xia Zhai, Yiyang Gutong..." He was thinking about what the five-color soil looked like and how it could be a tribute, when he heard the bell on the imperial city suddenly ringing loudly.

One sound, another sound.

Then, the bells in the entire Yanjing City rang, one after another, and they rushed towards him layer upon layer like a stormy sea.

He hurried out, but was stopped by Li Congyuan.

"Your Majesty, you should wait for His Majesty's call at this time."

He turned his head and looked at Li Congyuan's calm face as always.

"Call? Call for what?"

The great eunuch Zhu Zhenhe next to him rushed over panting and holding two sackcloths, fell at his feet and started howling.

"My lord! The crown prince is dead in Huai River!"

He broke away from Li Congyuan and Zhu Zhenhe and strode out, only to see all the court ladies and eunuchs crying together.

Yiji followed behind him, holding the sackcloth that Zhu Zhenhe had brought in his hand. When he turned around and saw him, he slapped Yiji on the face. Yiji fell to the ground and got up, holding the same clothes as before. Mai followed him.

Before he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a sedan chair galloping all the way in front of him. The sedan chair with the dragon pattern was his elder brother's sedan chair.

One eunuch was sweating all over his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was crying or smiling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has called you over."

Without saying a word, he drew the sword from the hand of the guard and chopped the eunuch down to the ground.

"You dare to use the sedan chair of my royal brother to pick up my king? What's your intention?"

Blood splattered, Zhao Surui stepped on the blood and looked around, how could his brother die?his brother...

Zhang Wan, the chief inspector of ceremonies, also ran over, knelt on the ground and called him "My Lord's condolences".

Sorry?Sorry for what?Obviously, obviously his elder brother said that when he came back from Huaishui, he would tell his father to let him go to the army, and his elder brother would soon be engaged to Lin Miaozhen!

Just when he was at a loss, someone slapped him across the face.

"Zhao Surui! You are going crazy now, how can you be worthy of your brother?"

He turned around and saw that the person in front of him was Lin Miaozhen in the clothes of a court lady.

16-year-old Lin Miaozhen has tears in her eyes:

"Zhao Surui! You can't be crazy for Zhao Su at this time! Go to see your father! You find out what's going on, you are his younger brother! You have to go for him to finish his unfinished journey!"

"What about you?" He asked Lin Miaozhen back.

Just these three words made Lin Miaozhen look away.

"I cry for him, go crazy for him, and guard for him."

"Hiss—" Zhao Surui suddenly came back to his senses under the warm winter sun, and grabbed a piece of kitten's tail with his fingers.

"I remembered, Sister Lin hit me twice!"

The kitten lying on his lap moved its butt and tried to wrest its tail out of his hand, but failed in the end. It could only "meow" twice, hid its head under its paws and continued to sleep.

Zhao Surui raised his knees, and finally woke up the kitten.

"What are you sleeping on, get up and listen to me!"

Where is the kitten willing?The sun is warm and it is a good time to sleep!

Stretching, it jumped to the ground briskly.

Just about to eat the fish in the corner, its ears moved suddenly.

The wooden door was pushed open.

"Girl, these are the clothes that Qingying brought Xia He and the others to rush to make. Look at them, are you okay?"

Looking at the new clothes held in A Chi's hands, Zhao Surui heaved a long sigh.

What does it matter if the clothes are good or bad?After all, Lin Miaozhen was going to make fun of her.

"The color is too plain." He pinched the corner of his clothes and looked at it, he was a little dissatisfied, "At least it's the first month of the lunar year, so it's fine to wear all blue, why is there no red at all?"

"Girl, try it on the upper body first." Achi said with a smile, "Qingluan put a lot of effort into making this dress, and redid the painting on the plum blossom satin. It's really astonishingly beautiful."

Zhao Surui refused to try, but in the end A Chi pulled him from the chair.

The patterns of plum blossoms can be seen on the blue satin, but they are drawn petal by petal by needle and thread, as if the plum blossoms fell on the material and gradually disappeared into patterns.

From thick pink to light pink, falling from the shoulders, between human movements, the whole dress is like a night disturbed by falling plum blossoms.

Underneath is a brighter locust tree blue, made of double-leaf horse-faced skirt, the upper body is made of colorful falling plums, and the lower body is a moonlight outlined by a mixture of gold and silver threads. The shadow of the tree.

Looking at the "Shen Sanwaste" in the bronze mirror, Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't say a word: "It's not good-looking".

"In the palace, there are orders to go to see An. The servants and maids thought about each other all night. Using this blue color, it can be distinguished from the imperial robes of the imperial orders and the official robes of the female officials. It is not eye-catching. It is elegant when you look closely As for skirts, red skirts are everywhere in Beijing this year, and Qingying thinks that everyone else is wearing them, so we don't have to follow suit."

"En." Zhao Surui nodded, and saw A Chi take out a gold and jade head from the dressing box to match him with jewelry.

Frowning and looking at those jewelry, Zhao Surui pouted: "Where did this come from?"

"Don't worry, girl, I know that you don't need anyone else to use it. This is the style that Chuiyun asked Yinlou to make before."

Looking at the blue gems decorated with rice beads, Zhao Surui was still a little dissatisfied.

"Why not red?"

"This gem is a New Year's gift from my uncle and wife. As for the rice beads, there are no good ones in the silver building at the moment. They are taken from my wife's previous collection."

Zhao Surui closed his mouth.

Forget it... Shen Sanfei's skin, even though it's a bit useless, looks good after all.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Surui arrived at Xi'an Gate in Xiyuan in a carriage.

The one who greeted him was a somewhat unfamiliar female officer. When she saw her, the female officer laughed:
"The Empress has long heard about Mrs. Shen's act of righteousness and bravery, but she had no time to summon her before. Today, Mrs. Shen is coming, so she sent me out early to meet her."

Looking at the daffodils on the female official's head, Zhao Surui just nodded slightly, the female official only thought that "she" was a cautious person entering the palace for the first time, and beckoned Zhao Surui to get on a certain green leather sedan chair.

Seeing this, Zhao Surui hesitated.

"Can you take a sedan chair in the West Garden?"

"Since His Majesty established the Duanji Hall in Xiyuan, female officials of the sixth rank and above can sit in sedan chairs when they come in and out. Miss Shen, your sedan chair was specially given by the empress."

The female officer sits in a sedan chair?

Zhao Surui murmured in his heart that Shen Sanwau had a lot of tricks to play, and he got into the sedan chair after all.

The eunuch who carried the sedan chair was extremely stable, and there was no bumps all the way up.

Zhao Surui lifted up a corner of the car curtain with his fingers and looked out, only saw withered willows, green pines and cypresses, and the Taiye Pool that had become a whole block of ice.

After a moment, he said with some confusion:
"I heard that the New Year in the palace is very lively, why is Xiyuan so deserted?"

The palace lady supporting the sedan chair smiled and said: "Your Majesty has long decreed that this year's New Year in the palace should not be wasted, not to mention that in Xiyuan, even the fireworks and Aoshan lanterns in Qianqing Palace will be exempted, but it will be given to us slaves." I rewarded you with more clothes."

Aoshan Lantern was one of Zhao Surui's favorite pastimes during Chinese New Year in the past. The Aoshan Lantern built with bamboo poles and candles had to be three or four feet high to satisfy him, and there were nine of them at a time. Unexpectedly, Shen Sanwa I saved all of these.

Along the way, the silk flowers tied on the trees during the New Year's Day in Xiyuan were all gone, and there were no strong eunuchs who wrestled for fun. On the contrary, it showed the original tranquility and clarity of Xiyuan. The Huadian was closed, so the car curtain was put down.

In order to meet Zhao Surui, Lin Miaozhen took great pains to divide the meeting between him and the wives in the morning and afternoon.

The door curtain was lifted, and when a woman in extremely delicate clothes appeared in front of her, Lin Miaozhen opened her mouth. She knew that she should be more prudent, but she couldn't hold back after all.

"What a beautiful girl like a fairy!"

"Boom." Zhao Surui kicked on the threshold.

*"Shangshu Yugong" talks about the scenery of various water systems in the world

The excerpt means "the tributes there are five-color soil, big pheasants from Yushan Valley, and special paulownia from the south of Yishan Mountain."

No Responsibility Extra Episode 8
In the small yard in the south of the Yangtze River, a few vegetables were planted. Zhao Surui stared at the tender pea sprouts for several days. Finally, he couldn't hold back. He asked someone to pick the pea sprouts and fry them with garlic. He mixed them with rice and ate them. I ordered three bowls.

The green pea tips and the white rice don't look like they are for people to eat.

Zhao Surui was angry, and when he saw Shen Shiqing in the dream, he became even more angry: "I don't live like a human being now, this little thing in your stomach always wants to eat green."

"Your Majesty, there is no harm in eating some green leafy vegetables. You used to like meat too much, and you became angry after eating too much."

Is there no anger if you don't eat meat? !
Zhao Surui wanted to eat a few mouthfuls of Shen Sanfei raw so that she could see his "rage".

"Shen Sanwaste!" Angrily shouted, he looked at the woman's hand.

"Shen Sanwaste! I suffered for you! Are you still busy with other things?"

"Your Majesty, this is the taboo for pregnant women that I asked the Imperial Hospital to write. Sit down here and I will tell you."

Zhao Surui was dumbfounded.

Seeing Shen Shiqing smiling at her face, did he sit over and put his hands and feet together, a little cute.
