Su Yao was in the Fengzao Palace of Concubine Pang.
Fengzao Palace is surrounded by water on all sides and is a palace in the center of the water. In summer, it is covered with lotus flowers and lotus leaves that reach the sky on all sides, and it is beautiful when the wind blows. But in winter, the surroundings are covered with solid ice.
"It looks bald and boring." Concubine Pang laughed, holding a jade stick in her hand, teasing a cat that jumped up and down like a snowball, and asked Su Yao: "Your cat is somewhat similar to this one of mine?"
Thanks to its owner's actions, the cat finally pounced on a ball of fur hanging on the jade stick. At this moment, it meowed and tilted its head to look at the guest.
Su Yao saw that it was full of vigilance and couldn't help but smile: "It looks similar, but not as smart as the one raised here by the queen. It looks stupid and stupid. Now that it's winter, it's just lazy and hides in the house and refuses to come out."
"It's interesting." Concubine Pang sighed as she looked at the frozen ice outside. "It's bare, what's the fun in that?"
"Not really." Su Yao followed Concubine Pang's gaze and saw that the wintersweets in the distance were already blooming in the snow. He said, "The vast expanse of white, set against these flowers, is clean and has a unique artistic conception."
The two smiled at each other. Concubine Pang lowered her eyes, stroked Mao'er's head, and asked Su Yao, "Why did you insist on asking my son to help you? I wonder why?"
On the high platform, although it is winter now and people are shivering with cold, how can the layout of the palace be the same as that of ordinary people? Su Yao looked at the several huge braziers arranged on the left and right and the curtains hanging on three sides, and said softly: "I want to catch a fish. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Now that the fish has come out to bite the hook, it's time to see if throwing a spring thunder can fry more fish."
That golden jade robe finally fell into the hands of the fifth prince.
The Fifth Prince was ordered to leave the palace to visit the sick Madam Pang. However, he met several sons of nobles who were returning to Beijing from Sanlihe. After hearing about the Golden Jade Burial Suit they mentioned, he became very interested and went to find Lei Yun's son excitedly.
Young Master Lei was a shrewd man, and when he saw that the Fifth Prince had condescended to make friends with him, he naturally had no reason to let him go. When he saw that the Fifth Prince was very fond of the golden jade clothes, he generously waved his hand and presented the golden jade clothes to the prince as a great gift.
However, the next moment, the Fifth Prince entered the palace holding the golden jade burial robe and went back to find his father.
At that time, Emperor Yuanfeng was troubled by the heavy snow in Shanxi, which had caused countless people to freeze to death. Since the beginning of winter this year, natural disasters have occurred frequently in various places, and the number of people who have frozen to death has been pouring in like snowflakes.
As soon as the imperial court suppressed one problem, the other problem rose up again. This year, the number of refugees pouring into the capital from Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and other places has more than doubled compared to previous years. How can this number not make people angry
"With so many refugees pouring into the capital, the defense of the capital is now under even greater pressure..." Yang Bo spoke eloquently, and discussed with the cabinet members in front of Emperor Yuanfeng for a whole morning before finally drawing up a preliminary charter.
Emperor Yuanfeng finally had a moment of peace and was about to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to have dinner when he heard that his fifth son wanted to see him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
In his impression, the fifth son has always been loyal and honest, much simpler than the ambitious fourth son. When he heard that he was coming, he thought about it for a moment and let him in.
The fifth prince didn't bother to salute, and ran towards Emperor Yuanfeng excitedly: "Father! Look what your son has found?!"
Seeing his usually steady son in this state, Emperor Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows: "What does it look like to be so flustered?"
"Father will never guess what it is!" The fifth prince signaled the eunuch following behind him to put down a box, his face still full of excitement: "Take a look!"
Emperor Yuanfeng didn't care. His eyes swept across the golden jade clothes in the box, but his eyes darkened a little.
But his face didn't show any expression, and even his voice was almost the same as before: "Where did you get this golden jade robe? From your grandfather?"
Today is the day when the Fifth Prince was ordered to leave the palace to see a doctor at the Pang family. Emperor Yuanfeng had just sent his son away in the morning, so naturally he still remembered it.
Since it came back from outside the palace, this thing must have come from the Pang family.
The fifth prince was unaware of this. He sighed and laughed: "How did grandpa find such a fine jade burial garment?" He excitedly took it out and presented it to Emperor Yuanfeng like a treasure: "I found it specially to honor you! You must reward me well!"
"Oh?" Emperor Yuanfeng remained calm, his hand touching the thing and then stopped: "You still have this ability? Where did you find it from?"
"Your Majesty, you will never guess!" The Fifth Prince chattered happily, "This was taken out by Lord Lei's son. I heard that he invited many noble sons to celebrate at Sanlihe Villa. He lost a bet on the way, so he took this thing out to show it..." The Fifth Prince didn't bother to salute, and ran towards Emperor Yuanfeng excitedly, "Your Majesty! Look what my son got?!"
