My Lady is well

Chapter 190 Snow

Jing Ruzhang bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, formed it into a small snowball, and tossed it twice in his hand.

He threw it casually towards the cedar, and a tree full of white snow fell down with a clatter.

Shen Yueyao was not wearing a hood and was drenched in snow.

She screamed softly and quickly took a few steps to the side, leaving the cedar tree.

He shook his head hurriedly, and half of it came down.

She raised her head, and looked into his dark eyes, which seemed filled with stars and a faint smile.

The reflection was of someone unknown, a small ball of white.

She stood in the wind in a black cloak, with a graceful figure like an orchid or jade tree.

Shen Yueyao's lips were tightly drawn, her delicate eyebrows were tinged with anger, and her pair of crystal clear eyes looked at him brightly.

When he got angry, he bent down, rubbed a handful of snow in his hand, raised it to Xiu's shoulder, and pretended to throw it at him.

After all, due to his status, after glancing at him, she threw the snowball at his feet in a somewhat cowardly manner.

He walked in front of her, chuckled twice, raised his hand to brush away the remaining snow on her temples, pinched her snow-white cheeks that were slightly bulging with anger, and spoke softly.

"Are you still angry? How about I let you get wet once?"

When Shen Yueyao heard that he had made such a masochistic suggestion, she felt it would be a bit heartless not to fulfill it!

So, she grabbed his hand and pulled him under the cedar. Shen Yueyao put on her hood, turned around and kicked the cedar, causing the snow on it to fall down.

Looking back at his head full of white snow, his cold eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with some fine snow particles, making him look a little embarrassed.

The corners of her eyes curved downward, and the tender smile in her bright eyes seemed to be about to overflow.

Her giggling made his heart move. She was so charming when she laughed heartily.

How could she be allowed to act so recklessly?

He raised his hand to lift up her hood, and pulled her to get soaked.

Shen Yueyao screamed and ran away, only to see someone chasing after her.

She no longer cared about her identity, she bent down, grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and threw it behind her.

But he tilted his body and easily dodged it.

He walked quickly forward, grabbed her by the waist and brought her back into his arms.

He laughed softly in her ear.

"Where are you running?"

Shen Yueyao felt a little itchy from his breath in her ear. He lowered his head, and the snow on his hair fell onto her neck and went straight into his body.

She said anxiously, "Let me go. I'm covered in snow and I'm so cold."

Let her go? Impossible!

It was rare to see her showing some of that girlish coquettish look. I was so happy that I couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

Worried that she would get frozen if she stayed outside for too long, he grabbed her waist and carried her back into the hall.

I don’t know if after being caught in the snow together, the two of them can be considered to have grown old together.

Forget it. — he thought.

……

The snow was barely melting the day before New Year's Eve.

Shen Yueyao asked Jin'er to go to the Imperial Garden to pick some red plums early in the morning.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and she thought of decorating the Zelu Palace today to add some festive atmosphere.

Shen Yueyao held Shi Mian for a while and listened to his babbling baby talk.

She didn't understand what it meant, and the mother and son were talking about different things, but she still found it interesting.

She thought the little guy probably wanted to call for his mother, so she taught him.

"Call me mom... um, call me mother... um, forget it, just call me mother."

She taught for a long while, but the child could only say "oh oh oh ah ah".

Never mind, she was just anxious.

Whose baby over three months old would call mom?

She looked up and out the window. Jin'er had been gone for almost two hours. Why hadn't she come back yet?

The palace maid came in and bowed to her.

"Your Highness, Empress Shen invites you to go to the Bichi Palace."

Yang Li?

The palace maid took out a sachet and handed it to Shen Yueyao.

"This was sent by someone from Concubine Shen's palace."

Shen Yueyao took it and looked at it carefully. It was the one that Jin'er often wore around her waist.

She frowned slightly, her eyes showing a complicated expression, and her fingertips slowly gathered the purse bit by bit. She lifted her eyelids, stared at the palace maid in front of her, and said in a deep voice.

"Did you say anything else?"

"She said you knew what to do."

Shen Yueyao's eyes flickered slightly. This Yang Li really hasn't made any progress at all. He is still using the same tricks of intimidation.

She said quietly.

"Understood, you go down."

Shen Yueyao picked up the purse and shook it in front of her eyes, then spat out two words coldly.

"Yang Li."

When Shen Yueyao went out, she only brought Qiuju and Dongxue with her, and instructed Chunfeng.

"If I am not back in an hour, you will go to the Imperial Study to find the Emperor. If the Emperor has urgent business, then go to Yong'an Palace to find the Empress."

"The servant knows."

She thought she should go to Bichi Palace to meet Yang Li first and see what she wanted to do.

As she walked outside the hall, she suddenly felt a few drops of moisture on her face, and she looked up at Biluo.

The sky was splashed with ink, with a hint of moisture, fog and drizzle, falling on the cloak like a layer of fluffy white beads.

Seeing that it was about to rain, Qiuju walked to the hall to get an umbrella and held it for herself.

Shen Yueyao walked to the outside of the Bichi Palace and her eyes paused on the Bichi Pond for a few seconds. The drizzle hit the surface of the lake, creating ripples that shattered the reflection of the palace.

This place is close to the water and has a wide view. It is really a good place.

It's a pity that she doesn't like the people living here very much.

After today, it's time to change the owner.

When the two eunuchs at the palace gate saw her, they knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and spoke in a gentle voice with a smile.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine said that you can go in alone."

Shen Yueyao frowned and hesitated for a moment.

But then I heard the palace maid say again.

"Empress Shen also said that Miss Jin'er's life depends on your decision."

Shen Yueyao raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she said indifferently.

"How dare you threaten me, Qiuju, Dongxue, slap him in the face for me. Don't stop until I come out."

They both responded in unison: "Yes."

She slowly stepped into the main hall of Bichi Palace, and Yang Li stood with his back to her.

She was wearing a goose yellow brocade dress with butterfly embroidery and scattered flowers. Her hair was not tied up, but half tied up and half hanging down. This dress did not look like a concubine in the palace, but rather like an unmarried lady.

She turned around with a fresh look on her face.

When he saw Shen Yueyao coming, he had a sinister smile on his face, but his eyes were dead and silent.

Shen Yueyao's heart sank slightly. She didn't look like a normal person in this state.

"The Imperial Concubine is here?" Yang Li said sarcastically, with a dazed look in her eyes.

"I wonder why Concubine Shen came to me today?"

She glanced at the palace servants serving on both sides and gave the order.

"Let's all go back."

The palace maids lowered their heads and slowly retreated. The last two palace maids even closed the palace door when they left, blocking out the wind and rain outside.

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly and said vigilantly.

"Why close the door in broad daylight?"

Shen Yueyao walked to the door and wanted to open it, only to find that it was locked.

She was stunned. What did this crazy woman want to do?

"Why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, the Imperial Concubine can't leave here today. We have plenty of time to talk slowly."

Shen Yueyao restrained her expression and looked out the window overlooking the water. There was a light mist floating in the air, like a fairyland.

She smiled calmly, as if thinking about something.

"Let's chat slowly, okay."
