When the sky darkened, snowflakes suddenly fell.
Hua Qingxue stood under the eaves, looking up at the snowy sky with a faint smile on her face. She wore a soft fur robe with auspicious knot patterns embroidered with silver threads, which still shone under the dim light of the sky.
"Master!" Liang Wensheng strode into the other courtyard with excitement on his face: "Take a look?"
As he said this, he raised a small object in his hand.
Hua Qingxue only felt that her eyesight was very good. Before the candles were lit in the other courtyard, she saw at a glance that Liang Wensheng was holding something shiny in his hand.
"What is it?" Hua Qingxue asked curiously, and at the same time wanted to step forward and get closer.
"Come back." The man's unyielding tone sounded after him, abruptly blocking Hua Qingxue's footsteps.
Hua Qingxue could only stick out her tongue quietly, turned sideways and looked at Fu Yanye who was standing in the room, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong?"
Fu Yanye didn't answer, but his face looked a little ugly.
It was such a cold weather, and now there was a strong wind. If it weren't for the falling snow, he wouldn't want Hua Qingxue to blow the cold wind outside!
Moreover, agreeing to enjoy the snow also allowed Hua Qingxue to stand in the sheltered position under the eaves.
Thinking of this, Fu Yanye's face became a little more ugly, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Liang Wensheng.
Liang Wensheng received the slightly hostile look from his general and felt a tingle on his back. He didn't have the courage to ask directly, so he could only quietly give up the idea of approaching his master and instead walked to one side with a smile on his face.
Hua Qingxue just felt baffled. Why did she have to walk in a circle so well? But she was quickly attracted by what was in Liang Wensheng's hand and asked, "What are you holding?"
Liang Wensheng didn't answer after hearing the question, he just smiled and opened his palm, which was a crystal clear octagonal glass.
This cup doesn't look special at first glance, but if you get closer, you can see that the transparent walls of the cup are different from the past, and it can be seen that it has been carefully polished and forged.
"This is the finished product that Shaowen just made." Liang Wensheng handed the cup to Hua Qingxue, "He specially gave it to the master."
"Give it to me?" Hua Qingxue took the cup and played with it in her hand, "Hmm... It is indeed a skilled craftsman. It is difficult to find another master of glass forging in the whole world."
"Isn't it? We have a lot of talented people in Daqi." Liang Wensheng said with a smile: "Master successfully tested the explosion today, and Shaowen thought he couldn't lag behind."
Hua Qingxue nodded and looked at the octagonal glass with joy. Then she looked up at Fu Yanye and found that the latter was looking at her lovingly. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart and responded with a big bright smile.
Looking at the tender scene between the master and the general, Liang Wensheng turned away his face consciously, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart, how wonderful it would be to be like this in the future.
…
Zheng Shuwen sat on the gold-carved phoenix chair, her eyelids closed with a solemn expression. The maid serving next to her came over and handed out the purple gold hand stove stuffed with new charcoal: "Your Majesty?"
Hearing the call of the palace maid, Zheng Shuwen did not open her eyes. She just let out a long sigh and stretched out her hand.
Upon seeing this, the palace maid immediately sent the stove to the Queen Mother's hands. Naturally, she did not dare to look directly at this noble man. She could only use her peripheral vision to catch a glimpse of the hands that took over the purple and gold stove. Although they were still fair and delicate, they also had some obvious fine lines.
"Your Majesty, did you send someone to deliver a message?" The Queen Mother put the hand stove on her knees, then raised her hands to surround the stove wall. A slightly burning warmth spread throughout her body, making her extremely comfortable.
"Back to your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The palace maid was about to reply when she suddenly heard some noisy movement at the gate of the palace, so she subconsciously kept silent.
Sure enough, a loud voice sounded outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Li Jingnan rushed to the Queen Mother's palace and saw that all the eunuchs and maids in the palace were standing neatly in two rows, and Xiaodouzi was not among them. He sneered secretly, walked into the palace door, and saluted the Queen Mother, who looked unhappy.
"Nan'er." Zheng Shuwen opened her eyes and looked at Li Jingnan steadily, as if waiting for a reply.
"My son, please see your mother." Li Jingnan said respectfully, looking calm and composed.
Seeing the emperor like this, Zheng Shuwen's fine eyebrows frowned slightly. She glanced at the palace maid serving beside her. The palace maid immediately bowed and bowed clearly, and then left the palace with all the extra people present.
Li Jingnan stood up and saw Zheng Shuwen stepping down from the phoenix chair and walking toward him gracefully. The look on her face did not make anyone feel gentle.
"How?" Zheng Shuwen said, and she could detect a slight tremor in her voice.
"Everything went well." Li Jingnan only answered these four words lightly, which was regarded as the result.
Zheng Shuwen did not show the expected joy. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, and finally she slightly raised the corners of her mouth to express her satisfaction.
"Nan'er, it's not like the queen mother likes to chatter." Zheng Shuwen's expression softened as if she understood something that was on her mind. She pulled Li Jingnan around to the soft edge of the back hall and sat down: "How can matters of respect and inferiority be trivial?"
This tone seemed to be talking about Li Jingnan's lifelong events.
Li Jingnan frowned without leaving a trace, trying to maintain a superficial calm: "What my mother said is serious. When did I treat this as child's play? Some people, on the other hand, regard my words and my identity as childish talk. "
These words had a certain meaning. Although they were not directed at Zheng Shuwen, they made the Queen Mother's expression stiffen.
"I heard that Mrs. Si Bing is ill today?" Zheng Shuwen straightened her face and changed the topic: "You were confused for a moment and you called the Holy One by his name?"
Li Jingnan had been mentally prepared for this. After hearing this, he just snorted coldly and said: "Where did the villain come from, chewing his tongue behind his back?"
"What? What the mother heard is false?" Zheng Shuwen saw that Li Jingnan seemed to be arguing intentionally, and her tone was a little unkind: "If slander falls on ordinary people, it is just to ask for a reward. But you are the current Holy Emperor, who can Do you have the courage?"
Li Jingnan didn't want to get too serious with Zheng Shuwen, so she could only soften her attitude: "Then the queen mother might as well call this person here, and I can hear what he said face to face."
"Don't you know what I said?" Zheng Shuwen seemed a little unhappy. She put on a stern air and said, "What? I went to see that Fu Yanye today, and I can't even remember what I said or did." ?”
Now that the conversation has come to this point, there is really no need for Li Jingnan to waste any more words.
Thinking of the people present today, apart from himself and Hua Qingxue, the only ones left were Fu Yanye and Xiaodouzi.
Not to mention those two people were outside the palace, even in front of them, there was no need to do such stupid things.
Li Jingnan narrowed his eyes dangerously when he thought of this. Since Xiaodouzi has chosen to be loyal to the Queen Mother, there is no way she can continue to let it go...
"Nan'er? What are you thinking about?" Zheng Shuwen's dissatisfied voice came, interrupting Li Jingnan's thoughts: "Did you hear the queen mother talking to you?"
Li Jingnan came back to his senses, nodded hastily, and wanted to deal with the matter.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Shuwen refused to give up. She put on a sincere air and continued: "You are the emperor of Daqi now. Who else has the qualifications and status to call you by your name except the queen mother?"
Li Jingnan's expression was silent. He nodded, showing an obedient look.
"On weekdays, my mother only calls you by your nickname in private." Seeing his appearance, Zheng Shuwen felt a little more comfortable: "But if someone else is present, my mother will still call you the emperor instead."
As Zheng Shuwen said this, Li Jingnan already had Hua Qingxue's appearance in his mind.
As for the person who carelessly calls her by her name without being constrained by her status, then Hua Qingxue is the only one left in the world, right
He wouldn't mind, he would even be happy with it!
"If the mother is like this, how can others break the rules?" Zheng Shuwen just looked at Li Jingnan lowering her head and thinking, and didn't know what was going on in her mind. She thought her words had an effect, so she couldn't help but soften her tone: "Besides, It’s you, the emperor, so there should be a certain distance between the monarch and his ministers.”
The last sentence reminded Li Jingnan.
He thought of another thing he had conspired with Fu Yanye today, and thought about the strength behind Fu Yanye. Then he thought of the current relationship between Fu Yanye and Hua Qingxue, and a thought quietly appeared and then disappeared.
"The mother taught you a lesson." Li Jingnan nodded slightly, showing the look of a good child who corrects his mistakes when he realizes them. His expression was also extremely sincere: "The child was negligent."
As he said this, Hua Qingxue's smiling face calling him unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Oh, the way of a monarch and his ministers does not apply to everyone. He does not intend to see a Hua Qingxue who is respectful to him.
"Can you guarantee that something like this will never happen again?" Zheng Shuwen asked.
"Queen mother, please rest assured about Hua Qingxue." Li Jingnan said sincerely: "The child will remind her of the difference between superiority and inferiority, and ask her to respect the royal family."
Zheng Shuwen nodded, this matter is finally over.
After leaving the Queen Mother's palace, Li Jingnan walked towards his main palace. From a distance, he saw a hurried little eunuch coming towards him.
"Join the Emperor!" The little eunuch knelt down on the ground skillfully and kowtowed firmly.
Li Jingnan recognized that this was the eunuch serving the main palace, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why are you so panicked?"
"Back to the emperor, Mr. Chen Yuanchen, the general manager of the Royal Forest Army, requests an audience." Although the young eunuch was walking in a hurry, his tone was very calm, and he did not sound like he was really anxious.
"Oh?" Li Jingnan was a little surprised, but then showed a clear look and ordered the eunuch to stand up and reply that Chen Yuan was waiting outside the main palace gate.
This chess piece that has been hidden may be more useful than imagined.
