The eunuch wiped his forehead, but he didn't expect that a wrong name would bring Ziyan's angry reprimand.
"No... it's not the queen, it's Rong Chang'an, I was wrong, I was wrong! Please forgive me, concubine?"
Zi Yan's exquisite and small nose twisted: "Huh, forgive me? It's too late. From now on, in my heart, you are Rong Chang'an's person, and I am at odds with you!"
After speaking, I will leave.
The eunuch thought to himself, if he didn't explain the matter clearly at this time, he would suffer in the palace in the future.
So he quickly grabbed Zi Zi's hand, and said in a pleading tone: "Concubine, it's my fault, I was confused for a moment! Your lord has a lot, please forgive me? I used to be, now, and will always be a concubine's person."
Zi Yan stood with her back to the eunuch for a while, snowflakes fell on her hat and fragrant shoulders, a little bit of white set off her scarlet shawl, as if there were stars shining in the deep blue sky.
Suddenly, she turned her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a charming arc, revealing her snow-white teeth.
"What you said is true. From now on, I will be Ziyan's people?"
The eunuch said: "It's absolutely true, it's not false at all!"
Ziyan's eyes became deep and mysterious: "Since you said you want to be my man, then do something for me today to show your loyalty to me."
"What's the matter, please tell me, noble concubine. Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, I'll go and break into it."
Zi Yan looked at the burden carried by the little eunuch at the back, and the food box.
"Is this sent to Fengming Palace?"
The eunuch said: "Exactly! The concubine was also in the Shang study just now, the emperor ordered me to send it to Emperor Rong...Rong Chang'an."
Zi Yan uncovered the burden and the food box, and it turned out to be charcoal fire and sweet potatoes.
"I want the charcoal fire and sweet potatoes, and send them to my Fengwu Palace."
The eunuch looked surprised: "What? This...isn't it easy?"
Zi Yan said: "What can't be done?"
"If the emperor asks, I can't carry it even if I have ten heads."
Zi Yan sneered and said: "What are you afraid of! I won't tell you, you won't tell me, the two of them won't tell you, only God knows, how could the emperor know?"
The eunuch said: "But the queen will say it?"
"What can she say?" Ziyan said, "She doesn't know that the emperor will send her charcoal fire and sweet potatoes. Don't worry, the emperor can't tell you about this matter. Even if he does, wouldn't there be me?" , and put on a cold and fierce expression again, his eyes almost narrowed into triangles, "Why, don't you only have Rong Changan in your heart, and don't want to do things for me?"
The eunuch wanted to cry: "How could it be! Since the imperial concubine said so, I will order them to send the charcoal fire and sweet potatoes to Fengwutong Palace."
Ziyan showed her bright teeth, she smiled sweetly, and her voice was as soft as cotton: "That's it! If you are my Ziyan, I can't treat you badly!"
As she said that, Zi Yan took out a large silver ingot from her pocket, and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand: "Take it, and treat it as your reward for doing things for me! Follow me from now on, and you will have the money! Take it, and the two The little eunuch went to gamble and drink two cups."
When the eunuch saw Yinzi, his eyes lit up, he rolled up his sleeves, and smiled: "Thank you, Concubine Ziyan, for your kindness!" Turning around, he said to the two little eunuchs, "Why, why don't you thank Concubine Ziyan quickly?"
The two young eunuchs then bowed and said, "Thank you, Concubine!"
Then, according to Zi Yan's instructions, the eunuch sent the charcoal-fired sweet potatoes to Fengwu Palace, and Zi Yan also went to the imperial dining room, got two bowls of mutton soup, and returned to the Shang Study Room, in a good mood, accompanied Yan Li to drink all the mutton soup. Read the rest of the memorial in one go.
The snow seemed to show no signs of stopping, and it kept falling, thickly covering one layer after another.
There were only Rong Chang'an and Chun Tao in the cold and deserted Fengming Palace. The cold forced them to close the doors and windows and shrank on the bed.
The quilt was originally prepared for autumn, but the sudden snowfall and drop in temperature caught them off guard. This thin quilt and the thin mattress could not provide more heat. Even if they hugged each other, they still felt like they were sitting in an ice cellar inside.
Chuntao's upper and lower rows of teeth chattered: "Queen, it has been snowing for two days, why don't you see someone from the palace bringing charcoal fire? If we don't bring charcoal fire, we will freeze into snowmen!"
Rong Changan wrapped himself up and sat in the innermost place: "You don't know, the palace has regulations, and those who have been deposed are not eligible to enjoy charcoal fire, so don't count on it."
Chuntao opened her mouth wide: "No way! Then how should we spend this winter?" She felt like crying, and after thinking about it, "No, I'll go and ask the emperor to send us some charcoal."
With that said, he wanted to get out of bed.
Rong Changan grabbed her: "Now we are waiting for a crime, we cannot leave Fengming Palace, if you leave, that Ziyan will have something to say again."
Chuntao cried and said with a sad face: "I don't believe it, the emperor is so kind to the empress, and in this cold weather, he didn't bring you charcoal fire! I don't believe it even if you kill me!!"
Even if Rong Chang'an was killed, Yan Li could be so ruthless that he didn't care about Rong Chang'an's life or death.
"Perhaps the emperor sent it on purpose, but someone was obstructing it."
Chuntao said angrily, "Who is it?"
Rong Chang'an snorted coldly: "Is there even a need to ask! Besides that bitch, who else can do such a shameless thing."
"You mean Ziyan?" Chuntao exclaimed, pouted, "Humph, this Ziyan is really incompatible with us! I don't know what we owed her in the previous life, but in this life she will fight against us everywhere!"
It's not that Rong Changan and others owe Ziyan, but Ziyan owes her! I owe too much.
However, she is already used to this kind of persecution and counter-persecution.
"It doesn't matter if there is no charcoal fire, we have to learn to save ourselves."
"How to save yourself?" Chuntao asked.
Rong Changan said: "There is no charcoal fire, but there are dead trees in our garden. We took an ax and chopped down the trees for firewood. We first burned some hot water to drink, and then burned some charcoal. When we go to bed at night, Put charcoal fire in the stove, put it under the bed, and it will be warm."
"That's right, that's right!" Chuntao laughed, "Why didn't I think of that!"
"Isn't there a saying that God helps those who help themselves, only if we move ourselves can we survive in this harsh environment."
Chuntao was eager to try: "Then what are we waiting for, let's cut down trees!"
Rong Changan and Chuntao found a blunt ax and looked for it in the garden. When late autumn comes, the leaves wither, and there are many dead branches and leaves. The two found two bundles of firewood in the garden without an axe.
"The firewood can be used to make tea and soup, but not charcoal." Rong Changan said, "We still need to chop two thicker pieces of wood."
Rong Chang'an arranged for Zi Yan to heat the fire and boil the water, while she took an ax to the back garden and found a dead tree. The tree was as thick as a thigh, and it took a lot of effort to chop it down. Moreover, it is dry and extremely difficult to chop. It took a long time to cut down a dead tree. At this time, Rong Chang'an was already dripping with sweat, sitting on the stake and panting.
