Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 140 Snow

The Forbidden City, covered in heavy snow, looks covered in white.

Since the first snow fell that night, the imperial physicians have been more cautious, paying attention to the empress dowager's pulse three times a day at any time.

Not much better, not much worse, still makes people feel uneasy.

At the end of November, the snow-covered Miyagi is already so cold that people's hands and feet are cold and their faces are red.The empress dowager was lingering on the sick bed, and Tong Jia Xili also stayed in the room almost all day long, waiting for orders at any time.

In the evening, the sky was overcast.A sunny day is dull.

Tong Jia Xili came out of the small kitchen holding the hand warmer, and unexpectedly saw Yinzhen head-on.

Yinzhen wears this hat and also wears it thickly.But he looks good, and he looks more energetic.

"Xi Li."

On this day, when Yinzhen came back from school in the study, he came with the queen.Just now the Empress went to the Empress Dowager's place first, but the old man was asleep, so Yinzhen simply thought about coming out to find Tong Jia Xili.

"Why are you here?" Tong Jia Xili glanced at the sky outside and said, "The weather is not good, I'm afraid there will be another heavy snowfall later."

"It's snowing, and it's not easy for you and your aunt to go back. The road is slippery, so be more careful."

Yinzhen's heart was warm, and he stepped forward to touch the Tang Pozi that Tong Jia Xili held in his hand, and said: "Later, if you give me your Tang Pozi, I won't be afraid."

Tong Jia Xili chuckled, and joked: "I never thought that the dignified fourth elder brother would miss a little Mrs. Tang."

"Hmph." Yinzhen's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "I don't care about other people's things. I only care about everything about you."

Whispering, as if only staying between ears and temples.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tong Jia Xili blushed a little, and when she was about to say something, she coughed several times.

It was cold these few days, Tong Jia Xili was only concerned with taking care of the Empress Dowager, she seemed to have caught a cold at some point.Coughed a little, but didn't expect Yinzhen to be right beside her.

"What's wrong? Are you sick? Have you seen the doctor? Is it serious?"

After a series of questions, Tong Jia Xili pursed his lips and answered one by one: "Well, I have caught a cold. I asked the imperial doctor to help me get the medicine, and it's not too serious."

Just some nasal congestion and headaches...

So in the past few days, Tong Jia Xili has been serving in the outer hall.Fearing that the Empress Dowager would be overwhelmed by illness, she also reduced the number of times she wandered in front of the Empress Dowager.

"If you're really uncomfortable, tell Madam Su Mala to rest in the house. You should take care of your body with all your dedication."

Yinzhen said this, but he had already thought about it secretly, and he would go and tell Aunt Su Mala later.Take a rest for half a day to raise and raise, after all, it will be better.

"I know, I know, you are too." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "I heard that after the elder brother opened his teeth and built a mansion, he also started to help the emperor with some things. Your place should be soon, right?"

Brothers always get their errands after they become adults or get married.Needless to say, the prince, the elder brother has his own affairs now.

The third elder brother and Yinzhen are about the same age, so it should be soon.

"Really?" Yinzhen's eyes were a little more hopeful, and he said, "Of course I can do things that the elder brother and the second brother can do well."

"Yeah." Tong Jia Xili agreed vigorously, and encouraged her: "You are so good at school, if you learn slowly in government affairs, you will definitely be very good too."

"I will work hard." Yinzhen nodded, very confident.

This night, heavy snow covered a thick layer.The charcoal fires in the main hall of the Compassion Ning Palace were extremely hot, and even Tong Jia Xili, who was in the outer hall, felt warm on her body.

Aunt Su Mala took care of the Empress Dowager and drank medicine to sleep. When she came out, she saw Tong Jia Xili who was sitting outside and reading a book by candlelight.

"Tong Gege, why don't you go back and rest?"

After getting Yinzhen's order, Mammy Su Ma only thought that Tong Jiaxili was ill, and she said before dinner that she didn't have to come over to watch the night, but when Mammy Su Ma was done with her work, she still saw Tong Jiaxili here.

"I'm not feeling well, and I can't fall asleep." Tong Jia Xili said, "Ma'am just let me read here for a while, and when I get sleepy, I'll just go back to sleep."

Aunt Su Mala sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, then I will follow Ge Ge's wishes."

"Nurse has been busy for a long time. There is still a blanket on the imperial concubine's bed. You should also take a rest."

Tong Jia Xili held the two books "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training" in her hands, always wanting to learn how the predecessors wrote such a book that obliterated women's nature.

Of course... It is impossible for her to say such "rebellious" words.

It was night, and Tong Jia Xili had only read two or three pages, and she was already sleepy.It was too late to go back to his own room, so he made a bunk on the floor in the outer hall and slept.

Fortunately, the charcoal fire was kept warm all night, and when she woke up the next day, Tong Jiaxi Li was much better mentally.

PS: Yinzhen, Tong Jiaxi and Lixue Ri Little Theater are here~
(The small theater has nothing to do with the content of the main text and will not affect the direction of the big plot)

When the first snow fell in the Forbidden City, Tong Jia Xili was standing under the plum tree waiting for Yinzhen.

The plum blossoms have not yet bloomed in this season, but as long as you look up, you can already see pink and purple red plum blossoms, waiting to release their brilliance.

It seems that you can still smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

"Xi Li?"

It wasn't when Yinzhen had quietly walked over from behind Xili, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, helping Tong Jia Xili to block the snowflakes above his head.

"Hmph, it's either raining or snowing when I come out with you. Fortunately, you brought an umbrella. Otherwise, if I wait for you here for a while, I'll be soaked."

A hint of distress flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and he took a silver fox cloak from Su Peisheng behind him and put it on Tong Jia Xili.Then, a Tang Pozi was stuffed into Tong Jia Xili's hand.

"I'll give you Tang Pozi, and I'll give you the cloak."

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, he looked at the empty tray in Su Peisheng's hand behind him, and signaled for Su Peisheng to leave.

"It's really true. You don't need monks after you have a vegetarian meal!" Su Peisheng trotted away with a tray in his hand, not daring to look back, so as not to meet Yinzhen's murderous eyes.

Of course... Such eyes are usually only seen when he accidentally made a light bulb.

The two under the plum tree stood quietly in the snow, looking at the Forbidden City.

PS:

Yinzhen: It's snowing, let me hold an umbrella for you.

Xi Li: Yes, yes.

Yinzhen: (muttering to himself) It's good to have me here.

(So ​​narcissistic, does your Xili know? Big pig's hoof!)
