Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 23 Bloody Plum Blossom

"Go? Where to go?"

Ke'er came over and said, "Princess, today is 'sprinkling salt'. It's a custom in our Qinglong Kingdom that when the first snow falls in winter, everyone has to go out and sprinkle salt on the snow."

"why?"

"After it snows, the ground will freeze, and people and horse-drawn carriages will easily slip and fall. The purpose of spreading salt is to make the snow melt faster."

"So that's how it is." I smiled, this kind of custom is quite interesting: "Are you all going?"

"Well, at the beginning of the snow every year, the emperor and His Royal Highness, as well as the princes and ladies, would go there to have fun with the people. It could be regarded as praying for good weather and peace for the country and people in the coming year. But this year, for some reason, a decree was passed down, saying that everyone can To go out to play in the palace, all you need to do is get the badge."

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that Ke'er and the others don't go out of the palace very often, they were so excited, I smiled and said: "Then you can go by yourself, I won't go."

When Ke'er heard this, she immediately asked in confusion, "Why?"

I just smiled faintly, and looked back at the candles on the incense stand at the other end of the hall. After all, I was still guarding the spirit of Prince Qinglong. It was really inappropriate for me to go to such an occasion, let alone—

I also don't want to meet people I don't want to see on such an occasion.

Ke'er looked at me and immediately understood.

"Since this is the case, princess, then you should have a good rest. I will go out and bring you back something delicious."

I smiled and agreed, Ke'er gave a few more instructions, and then left the palace with a few guards who came to ask her out.

The entire Congyun Palace fell silent again.

Except for the sound of snow falling from the roof, I could hardly hear other sounds. I leaned against the window and looked at the snow scene outside. picture scroll.

So beautiful, so quiet.

I was wearing plain white onyx and walking in such a picture scroll with an oil-paper umbrella, and my heart calmed down, as if suddenly I was the only one left in the world, and all the darkness, ugliness, filth and filth were covered by it. This white snowflake covered up.

.

When I walked under a red wall, the cold wind blew, and a few bright red plum petals flew down. I stretched out my hand, and a small petal fell into the palm of my hand.

The bright red exudes a faint cold fragrance, which is refreshing.

What a nice view!

The petals fell with the wind, as if there was a rain of flowers around me, and the ground was full of bright red. I suddenly became playful and squatted down to pick up the petals on the ground. After a while, a large pile accumulated on the hem of the skirt.

At this time, I saw another piece at the corner of the corner in front of me. I hurried over and picked it up.

But just as I stretched out my hand, the smile on my face froze.

This is not a plum blossom petal!
That mass of deep red is just the color soaked into the snow!
I subconsciously pinched the handful of snow, and it immediately melted on my fingertips, and the red snow water slowly flowed down my fingers.

Blood!
