"That's Nangong Lizhu."

These few words are very simple, but Chang Qing seems so heavy to speak - that is Nangong Lizhu and Pei Yuanhao's favorite woman.

No matter what I have done or what I can do, in her hands, I have never won.

But maybe it was because at that time, I always wanted to compete for a win or lose.

Thinking of this, I smiled faintly and said to Chang Qing: "Weichen knows."

Chang Qing was still hesitant and wanted to say something. I said lightly: "What I want to do is always only for things, and it has nothing to do with who the other party is."

“…”

She was stunned for a moment.

I was still very calm, my smile seemed to be melting into such white snow - in fact, it really has nothing to do with who the other party is.

Even if that person is Chang Qing, Shui Xiu, and anyone I care about, if she treats a fool like that, I will not stand by and watch; even if the other party is Nangong Lizhu, if what she does is a good thing, I will not destroy what she wants to do just because "don't let my enemies achieve the goals she wants."

I just believe in the axioms.

Besides—

I looked up and looked at the white snow scene around me. It was a scene that I had in countless nightmares. Every time I saw it, it would shine through my fingertips into my heart. But for some reason, this year, I looked particularly calm, and even felt that the pain and despair of the past were gradually pale in this scene.

I seem to have such a feeling that I will never see this snow scene surrounded by red walls and green tiles.

Although people are still trapped here, they seem to have already felt relieved in their hearts.

Pain, suffering, and everything that happened before have been buried under the cold snow.

It has long been gone.

Chang Qing stared at me in a daze, although she didn't say a word, but she seemed to have seen through her bright eyes. After being silent for a long time, I heard her sigh as if she sighed softly: "You..."

.

After the first snowfall in winter, the entire capital fell into a vast white area, and the weather became colder and colder. Every morning, the first thing I saw was the snow-white tree hangings and the crystal clear ice edges under the eaves.

The scenery is getting more and more beautiful, but it is not so good for pregnant women.

Chang Qing's reaction became enormous at this time. I often went to accompany her. I often heard her unbearable dry retching sounds. Whenever she vomited sour water, she soon felt like she was a little shriveled.

After she finally calmed down, I handed the medicine on the table to her: "Grandma, drink some."

She frowned and wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. She didn't look like she wanted to use it very much. I gently advised: "The Empress's body is not good at first, and she is still vomiting so much. How can I not make up for it if I don't make up for it?"

“…”

She looked at the strongly boiled soup, and there was a rare embarrassment on her dignified and beautiful face, and her mouth pouted slightly. I smiled and waved my hand to let Shui Xiu take a porcelain bowl out of the food box. As soon as she smelled the faint orange fragrance inside, Chang Qing's eyes immediately lit up: "Orange cheese."

I smiled and said, "Empress, take medicine."

Chang Qing looked at me, then looked at the soup, and finally accepted her fate. She took the bowl and frowned and drank it bit by bit.

After taking a few sips, Pei Yuanhao's voice came from the door: "How is the Queen today?"

Chang Qing hurriedly put the half-drink soup bowl on the table. Just as she was about to get up, she saw Pei Yuanhao walking in from outside the door, stretching out her hand and holding her arm and pressing her back on the soft couch, and saying, "I said, your body is heavy, so don't get up and kneel."

Chang Qing said softly: "I thank the emperor for his grace."

He was wearing a thick fox fur, pure black color, and fluffy fluff gently rubbed against his neck and chin, making him look particularly warm; snowflakes fell on it, like condensed frost. Along the way, the snow foam spread out and was transformed by the warmth in the room, leaving only a faint smile on the corner of his lips. While rubbing his hands, he smiled: "The Queen is warmer than the Imperial Study."

I had already stood up and retreated aside. Pei Yuanhao turned his head and looked at me and said softly: "You are here too."

"I pay homage to the Emperor."

"You sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I took two steps back and sat on a chair in the back.

The face was still faint, without too many expressions, but somehow it seemed to please him. The smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper, but he didn't say anything. He just looked back at the left of the medicine on the table, saw the porcelain bowl on the other side, opened the lid and looked at it, and immediately smiled, "Why, my queen is also afraid of taking medicine? She still needs Qingying to coax it?"

Chang Qing blushed a little: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."

Pei Yuanhao then took off the fox fur, handed it to the button next to him, and smiled and said, "If you want to talk about this, even I won't come. The queen will be very proud of her."

I still sat there calmly without saying anything.

When Chang Qing heard this, she seemed to think of something. She looked back at me, looked at the porcelain bowl again, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, you are here today."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows.

"How can I drink such a big bowl alone?"

Pei Yuanhao also looked at me, and his eyes were filled with joy. Chang Qing had already asked Kuaer and the others to bring over the bowl. Although the porcelain bowls were filled with a lot, they didn't really take them out. Qianqian put three bowls, and they each took a bowl, and Kuaer brought another bowl to me.

I stood up and said, "I don't need it."

"You use it."

“…”

I looked up at him, and he looked at me, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was smiling, but the smile still flashed somewhat uncertainly. I was silent for a while and said softly: "Thank you, Master."

For some reason, when I heard me say this, it seemed that everyone in the room was relieved.

After taking the bowl, I sat down and drank it carefully. The orange cheese was made according to Chang Qing's taste, and it was still a bit sour. I didn't eat this taste very much. Pei Yuanhao was too. But looking at his appearance, it seemed that there was nothing to complain about. Instead, it made him feel sour. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was smiling; and Chang Qing even smiled slightly.

The three of them, each with their own thoughts, was quiet in the room, with only the crisp sound of the spoon touching the edge of the bowl.

In the crisp sound, it seemed that other sounds could be heard from afar.

I sat there calmly, listening to the sound from far to near, and reaching the door, Xing'er came in and passed the message. The first thing that came was a smell of powder. When I looked up, I saw that all the concubines from each palace had arrived, and the first one to walk into the house was Nangong Lizhu.

As soon as Chang Qing became pregnant, Pei Yuanhao gave her many affairs in the Six Palaces. For example, although this New Year banquet was not officially enthroned as a concubine, the power to assist in the Six Palaces was actually in her hands. At this time, Concubine Li was considered proud, and naturally she was dressed differently. She wore a gorgeous robe, with golden peacock peony embroidered on her skirt. The steps on her head shook with Shanshan lotus steps, and in the room where the light was not bright, it was also slightly eye-catching.

As soon as she entered the room, it seemed as if the whole room had lit up.

I also turned my head and met those pairs of eyes that were as full as autumn water.

There was still a smile in those eyes, but when I saw me and the small bowl in my hand, there seemed to be a ripple, but I immediately calmed down.

However, the other concubines were not as calm as hers.

If it were just Chang Qing and I hiding here to eat "private dishes", it would be just a joke, but when they looked up and saw Pei Yuanhao holding a bowl and the three of them were eating with spoons, the expression on their faces became more or less stiff.

However, Nangong Lizhu walked in with a normal expression, and Yingying fell to the ground: "I pay homage to the emperor and to the queen."

The concubines behind her had already reacted at this time and all followed her to the ground. Pei Yuanhao waved his hand and said, "Get up." As he said, he put down the bowl in his hand and went forward to help her up: "You are here."

Nangong Lizhu smiled and said, "I came here to reply to the Queen. It happened that the sisters were all coming to pay their respects, so they went together."

She said, looking at her with waving waves: "I didn't expect that Lord Yue is here too."

I had already stood up and saluted them in a proper manner: "I pay homage to all the ladies."

She smiled and walked to me step by step: "These days, I am busy with the New Year banquet and have not been able to serve the Empress. Thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not speak of my hardship."

Looking at my face that was so calm that there was no ripples, she seemed to feel bored, and looked at me again, then turned around. At this time, everyone sat down one after another, so I did not sit down, but carefully retreated to the back. At this time, Pei Yuanhao looked up at me and pointed: "Qingying, sit there."

Suddenly, the room was quiet.

Nangong Lizhu was still calm, but the autumn water in her bright eyes seemed to have been thrown into a small stone, and a cold light appeared. The other concubines looked at me and I looked at you, and their faces were a little stiff. When they saw me slowly walking over and sitting down, their faces became even worse.

The atmosphere in the room became a little stiff.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu waved his hand, and the little palace maid Ruizhu behind her had already stepped forward to present the booklet. She said, "I have already prepared the list of the New Year banquet for this New Year's banquet. I specially brought it over and asked the Empress to take a look."

Chang Qing took the booklet handed over by Kouer, and Pei Yuanhao also sat back. The two of them leaned on the table and looked at it. Chang Qing smiled and nodded gently: "After all, sister Li Fei is safe in doing things."

Pei Yuanhao also smiled and looked up at her: "Thank you for your hard work."

"How dare I say that the emperor told the Queen that he was suffering?" She said calmly: "Just seeking to share the worries of the Queen is my blessing."

Chang Qing and I quietly raised our heads and looked at each other.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her and said softly: "But don't be tired of yourself."

Nangong Lizhu smiled softly: "I remember what the emperor told me."

Pei Yuanhao nodded with a smile.

Nangong Lizhu stood up and walked over. When she walked past me, the strong fragrance of powder suddenly came towards me, which stimulated me to almost sneeze.

In my memory, her body always has a faint fragrance, not like a powdery aroma, but like a natural fragrance of skin, which makes people feel very comfortable, but such a powdery fragrance seems a bit too much, and Chang Qing-

As soon as I thought of this, she had already walked to Chang Qing, took the booklet with her own hands, and said, "I will arrange it according to the above."

"Uh-huh……"

Sure enough, I saw Chang Qing frowning slightly, as if she was suppressing something, but the more I held on, the more I couldn't help it. Seeing her frowning, she turned her head and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but she still couldn't hide the dry retching.

Suddenly, several little palace maids around ran over, and Kouer hurriedly helped her: "Empress."

I originally wanted to get up, but as soon as my hand touched the armrest of the chair, I sat down again.

The room was a little messy for a while, and Kouer hurriedly came over with hot tea. Xing'er took the handkerchief that Chang Qing used to put it away, and hurriedly picked up the spittoon and asked her to rinse it. The concubines around him didn't say anything, but the expression on their faces was somewhat strange.

Pei Yuanhao also got up and walked to her, saying, "Is the queen okay?"

Chang Qing rinsed her mouth, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth carefully. Then she turned around, her eyes were still red, and she stood up and apologized, "Your Majesty, I have lost my manners."

"Queen, don't say that." Pei Yuanhao looked at her and said softly: "Are you still sad?"

“It’s much better.”

Although she said so, I can see that it was not very good.

Judging from the reaction during pregnancy, Chang Qing is indeed more serious than other pregnant women. When I was pregnant with Li's child, I didn't vomit so much. Moreover, pregnant women are the most susceptible to stimulation. Some too strong smells, or even the wrong force of stretching out their hands, may cause bad reactions.

Smelling the thick fragrance of powder in the air, I couldn't help but frowned slightly, while Nangong Lizhu was still standing in front of her and said softly: "Is the Queen better?"

"I'm fine." Chang Qing said, her brow frowned again. She bit her lower lip and said with a stern voice: "It's fine, everyone should sit down."

Nangong Lizhu then returned to his seat and handed the booklet to Ruizhu and put it away.

As soon as she left, Chang Qing's face looked a little better. She took the teacup handed over by Kouer and took a sip. As soon as she relaxed a little, she heard Nangong Lizhu say: "Your Majesty, I have something to do."
