Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You probably already guessed that, right?"

Eyes facing each other.

Ye Chutang smiled gently.

"How about we make a bet?"

……

Another heavy snowfall has hit the capital.

The world was covered in a blanket of white, with patches of white piling up on the rooftops and treetops.

Long icicles, clear and cool, formed under the eaves.

"This winter seems particularly cold."

Ye Jingyan added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, making the whole room warm and cozy.

Xiao Wu took off his shoes and sat on the small couch by the window, holding an abacus and making a clattering sound.

In the cold winter, Ye Chutang had already arranged for a batch of fine furs to be brought from Wazhen and transported to the capital for sale.

They were all top-quality goods, especially favored by the ladies and young women of the capital.

Xiao Wu then became interested again, happily calculating accounts every day.

"Xiao Wu, after the accounts are settled, set aside a portion for Pei'er and her men," Ye Chutang instructed.

Xiao Wu looked up, smiled brightly, and nodded vigorously.

"it is good!"

Ye Chutang sat in the room for a while and started to feel a bit hot.

"Ayan, no need to add any more, that's enough."

Since her health improved, Ye Chutang found that winter was not so unbearable.

With the heater on in the house, a cup of hot tea brewed, and the snow scene outside the window, it's quite a pleasant experience.

“Ah Feng wrote that he will be back around the end of the year. Counting the days, it will be soon.”

Speaking of this, Ye Jingyan and Xiao Wu also became happy.

Ye Jingyan sighed, "It's been so long since I've seen him. I wonder if he's gotten even stronger than before."

Ye Chutang smiled, "After fighting so many battles, you must have grown a lot and won't be as carefree as before."

Ye Jingyan felt a little amused when she thought of that scene.

Ah Feng has such a personality, yet he insists on leading by example and managing so many people under his command; it's not easy. "That's... a bit unfair to him?"

Just as Ye Chutang was about to speak, a maid came in from outside.

"Second Miss, your letter."

Ye Chutang accepted it.

This is the third letter she has received from the same person recently.

Ye Chutang opened it, glanced at it, and then put it away.

Ye Jingyan didn't press the matter further.

If he had to ask about everything concerning his older sister, that would be too tiring for him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chutang asked him first.

"I've heard that the Prince of Yannan's health hasn't been very good lately?"

Ye Jingyan's expression turned serious.

"Yes. It is said that the King of Yannan was exhausted from chasing the rebels day and night, and the recent sudden drop in temperature aggravated his old illness."

Ye Chutang nodded.

"It's a pity I'm far away, otherwise I could have helped him take a look."

The Prince of Yannan had fought on the battlefield for decades and was indeed incredibly powerful, but he was only human, not a god. Over the years, he had countless wounds, both large and small, on his body.

Some are external injuries, which are easier to treat.

The troublesome part is the unseen internal damage.

Ye Jingyan pondered for a moment, "It would be good if we could get a good rest, but those rebels are too troublesome."

He frowned.

"Actually, I've heard that the situation of the rebels is not optimistic either. They started their rebellion in the southwest, and many of them are not used to the northern climate. It's the dead of winter, and it seems that some people have even frozen to death. That former crown prince of the Great Zhou... is certainly ruthless enough."

Ye Chutang pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

"I need to go buy some things."

Ye Jingyan was taken aback. "Now? If you want to buy something, just tell the servants to buy it. Why do you have to make the trip yourself?"

Ye Chutang shook her head.

"I can go by myself." (End of Chapter)
