Chapter 386 Winter is Coming
November
Winter has arrived
All the palaces changed into winter clothes, and Kyoto was covered in white. Today, the first snow of the winter fell in Kyoto.
As winter approached, the palace became desolate.
For more than two months, Xie Yu has been doting on Sun Qing, comparable to the time when Chen Xier was favored. Rewards have been sent to Jinxiu Pavilion one after another.
Now in the entire harem, Sun Qing is the most popular person. Whenever she appears, she acts like a favorite concubine.
These days, except for Sun Qing, the other concubines couldn't even see Xie Yu.
There had already been complaints in the palace, but nothing could be done.
In addition, the Queen Mother intends to promote him, so no one can offend Sun Qing now.
In addition to Sun Qing, Zhang Yuyan's belly was also the focus of everyone's attention.
Now, she is more than five months old, and the Zhang family sent a nanny in when she was four months old.
Zhang Yuyan's belly has grown big. Every day, she doesn't want to go out except walking around in her palace. She also doesn't want to give others the opportunity to attack her.
In addition, Lin Junxue instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Kitchen to pay extra attention to the amount of food consumed, so there was no danger.
Zhonghe Palace
Qiao Xin put the hot water bottle in Lin Junxue's hand.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent you some new coats. They are all new styles and your favorites. The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. I'm afraid it won't stop for a few days. The roads outside are very slippery."
Lin Junxue looked at Li Shiwen
"Wait, be careful when you leave. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent a lot of winter clothes. You can also choose some materials and take them away to make some styles you like."
Li Shiwen smiled
"Thank you, my lady. I will not be polite."
The two looked at the Xie Wuji brothers who were playing with Xie Ziyi nearby.
Xie Ziyi is almost one year old and can almost walk now.
A few days ago, I just learned to sit up and caused a lot of jokes, which was very funny.
Whenever Xie Wuji is free, he will go to Li Shiwen's palace and play with Xie Ziyi for a while.
The relationship between the two brothers is getting better and better.
Lin Junxue picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, then looked at the two brothers and curled her lips.
"It will be the little guy Ziyi's first birthday party in a few days, I will take good care of it for Ziyi."
Li Shiwen said, "It is a great blessing for me and my son to have the protection of the Empress."
He paused, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Qiao Xin stepped forward and took Xie Wuji and Xie Ziyi out.
Li Shiwen sighed
"Your Highness, these days, the Emperor has been doting on Concubine Liang, almost to the point of being outrageous. There have been revelries every night, and all the good things have gone into the Jinxiu Pavilion. Now, I haven't been to your Zhonghe Palace for more than two months. I find it a little strange. In terms of looks, although Concubine Liang is a beauty, the Emperor has seen all kinds of women. Even your looks are not even one-third as good as hers. In terms of talent, not to mention yours, even Sister Yuyan can't compare to you."
Lin Junxue listened and smiled slightly
Li Shiwen frowned
"Even if Liang Zhaoyi has some tricks, the emperor's favor is a little too sudden. I find it very strange that he favors her so much. It doesn't seem to be what he wants, but rather it seems to be intentional."
Lin Junxue looked at Li Shiwen's suspicious expression and curled the corners of her lips slightly.
Fortunately, there are no stupid people or people who hold her back around her.
Yuyan came here two days ago and noticed that something was not right. Today, Shiwen also noticed that there was something wrong with Xie Yu's exclusive favor to Sun Qing.
Lin Junxue said calmly, "The Emperor favors Liang Zhaoyi, and he has his own plans. There is no need to guess what the Emperor is thinking. As for whether the Emperor will come to Zhonghe Palace?"
chuckled lightly
If Xie Yu didn't come, she would live a better life, a rare quiet day.
Li Shiwen saw that Lin Junxue didn't care, so she felt relieved.
"I was afraid that you would be concerned. After all, the emperor spent most of his time in Zhonghe Palace. Today, seeing that Your Majesty was so relieved, I knew that I was worrying too much."
After Li Shiwen left.
Qiao Xin brought Xie Wuji in, and Xie Wuji knelt down and greeted them respectfully.
"Mother, I have to go back to the Prince's Mansion first. The studies left by the Grand Tutor will be tested tomorrow."
Lin Junxue turned around, picked up the cloak from Guyu's hand, and leaned over.
He helped Xie Wuji up, tied it up for him personally, and patted his head gently.
"Wuji, it's good to make progress, but you also need to relax yourself appropriately. Your health is important. If you don't have a good body, no matter how outstanding you are, it's useless. Eat three meals a day on time. You had some minor problems with your body before. Doctor Wu prescribed you a medicinal diet to regulate your body. You must eat it every day and don't delay. It's snowing heavily recently, so you don't need to come to pay respects to the Queen Mother. Stay in your own palace."
Xie Wuji listened to these words of concern, his heart warmed, and he nodded.
"Mother, I understand. I will take the medicinal food prescribed by Doctor Wu every day and eat three meals a day on time. Mother, you don't have to worry about me. On the contrary..."
Lin Junxue said, "What is it? You can say whatever you want to say in front of your mother. It's okay."
Xie Wuji's brows slightly frowned
"It's you, mother. Father has been favoring Consort Liang these days. There have been many rumors in the past dynasty, saying that Consort Liang will be the next Consort Xi. Mother, please don't be sad."
Lin Junxue curled her lips lightly, reached out and patted Xie Wuji's shoulder.
This child is a thoughtful person. No wonder he comes to Zhonghe Palace to pay his respects whenever he has time these days.
So he was afraid that she would be sad because Xie Yu favored Liang Zhaoyi?
"Don't worry, mother is not sad. If she is sad because of such a small matter, then life will be unbearable. There are always women in the harem, and mother doesn't have the energy to care about these. Go back and study hard, don't worry about mother, go ahead."
Xie Wuji was finally relieved when he saw Lin Junxue was still smiling.
"Well, mother, I will take my leave now."
Lin Junxue waved her hand
Palace Gate
Xiao Huanzi stepped forward, holding an umbrella, and whispered
"Master, you have been worried about the Queen these days. Today, the Queen told you not to worry. You must eat well. You have lost weight these days."
Xiao Huanzi has been with Xie Wuji for many years. When he was out of favor, she stayed by his side and never left him. Now she has finally made it.
Xie Wuji paused and looked back at the plaque of Zhonghe Palace.
Her black eyes sparkled with starlight, and her black hair was tied in a jade crown on her head.
The angular face has lost the immaturity of two years ago.
Now at the age of fourteen, he has grown into a tall, majestic and elegant gentleman.
"Only if I become stronger soon and gain that position, my mother will be able to have true freedom one day."
Xiao Huanzi was stunned. In fact, the master really didn’t want to fight before. He just wanted to live a stable life without being bullied.
But after being rescued by the Queen, everything changed overnight.
Rather than saying it was for himself, he had followed his master since he was a child, and he always felt that his master wanted to fight for that position for the Queen.
