When resting in the evening, Yu Lan told Zhuang Yun: "No matter who my mother likes or who she is with, Yun'er will always be her mother's child."
Zhuang Yun turned his back to her and said "Hmm".
Yu Lan tucked him in, stood up and blew out the candles and left the room.
Back in his room, Yu Lan sat in front of the dressing table and took out a plum blossom hosta from the bottom of the dressing box.
It was a gift given to her by Zhou Boxu when she was fifteen years old.
The fine mutton-fat white jade, but the plum blossoms on the hairpin are not very delicate, looking raw and clumsy.
It was carved by the eighteen-year-old Zhou Boxu himself.
Yu Lan once regarded it as a treasure and wore it on his head every day.
However, since marrying into the banker's family, Yu Lan has put away the hosta and never worn it again.
She hid this hosta as if she was hiding her love for Zhou Boxu.
On a snowy night, Yu Lan went to bed with a hosta in hand, sleeping alone on the cold quilt.
The next day, the sky cleared up and the warm golden sun struggled to cast its light onto the earth.
After Yu Zheng returned to the mansion after going to court, Jiang Shu hadn't gotten up yet.
The weather was cold and she was pregnant, so Jiang Shu slept more than usual.
Yu Zheng changed into his regular clothes, opened the bed curtain and leaned over, kissing Jiang Shu's forehead.
Jiang Shu opened his eyes hazy and called softly: "Husband."
When Yu Zheng entered the room to change clothes, Jiang Shu woke up when he heard the noise, but his head was still confused and he refused to move.
"Haven't you slept enough?" It was getting late, and Yu Zheng was worried that she was hungry.
Jiang Shu stretched and said with a nasal voice, "I've slept enough."
She just couldn't bear to keep the bed warm.
"Then get up and have breakfast." Yu Zheng pulled away the corner of the quilt, stretched out his long arm to take the person out of the brocade quilt, and took the clothes for her to wear.
There was a charcoal fire in the house, but it wasn't that cold.
But when Jiang Shu finished washing and walked outside the house, she immediately shrank her neck from the cold: "It's so cold."
The snow in the courtyard has been cleared away, leaving only the treetops and roofs.
Jiang Shu looked up at the rising sun, feeling no warmth at all.
As the old saying goes, melting snow is colder than falling snow.
"Princess, it's time to eat." Chu Yu called softly.
Jiang Shu turned around and entered the house, sitting down to eat with Yu Zheng.
After breakfast, Jiang Shu looked at the clear blue sky outside the house, thinking about the snowy plum grove in the back garden, and asked Yu Zheng if he was still free today?
Yu Zheng frowned and said, "It's still very cold outside right now. I'll go with you when the sun gets warmer after this hour."
"Okay." Jiang Shu agreed happily.
Before going to the study, Yu Zheng told Chu Yu Lengxing and the others not to take Jiang Shu to the back garden without his company.
The road was cold and slippery in the snow, and Yu Zheng wouldn't trust anyone unless he watched and accompanied him personally.
"Yes." Leng Xing and others responded respectfully.
Only then did Yu Zheng go to the study with peace of mind to handle official duties.
After confirming that Yu Zheng was gone, Jiang Shuyi sat on the soft couch and asked Chu Yu to take out the hidden things from the bottom of the couch and continue sewing.
Today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only twenty days left before the Chinese New Year. She has to do it quickly.
If you concentrate on your work, time will pass quickly.
When he heard Shuanghua's salute from the outer room, Jiang Shu asked Chu Yu to quickly put it away and hide it. He took the book on the side and opened it casually, pretending to read.
Yu Zheng came in through the curtain and asked Jiang Shu if he wanted to go to the back garden now.
"Go." Jiang Shu put down the book and stood up quickly.
Chu Yu brought a cloak and put it on for Jiang Shu, and then drank another soup.
Jiang Shu held Mrs. Tang in one hand and was held by Yu Zheng in the other, and the two of them walked slowly to the back garden.
Since they were just walking around the garden, the two of them didn't have anyone following them.
All the snow on the courtyard road of the mansion was cleared away, leaving only Meilin with a complete snow field.
The golden sunshine shines on the crystal white snow, making the snow sparkle.
"Crunch——" Jiang Shu stepped on the snow and curled his lips when he heard the sound.
The snow on the plum blossoms has not yet completely melted, and there is only a little bit left, which makes the red plum blossoms even more beautiful.
Yu Zheng held Jiang Shu tightly and admired the snowy plum forest with her in the sunshine.
After walking leisurely for a while, we reached the depths of the Merlin.
Looking around, there are swaths of plum trees stretching their branches to their heart's content. The red plum blossoms on the branches are bright and lively. Coupled with the sunshine and white snow, it is as beautiful as wandering into a fairyland.
Jiang Shu stopped, closed his eyes and smelled the plum fragrance deeply.
Yu Zheng looked at her, the corners of his lips slowly raised.
The Prince's plum grove is in bloom every year, and it snows every year, but in previous years he didn't think it was that special or beautiful, only feeling lonely.
With Jiang Shu here this year, the scenery of the palace seems to be different. Even the main room where he rests every day is warmer.
In the past, when he was busy outside, it didn't matter whether he returned to the palace or not, but now, every time he went out, he wanted to return to the palace early.
Because there was someone waiting for him in the house.
Jiang Shu didn't know what Yu Zheng was thinking. He opened his eyes and looked at the plum branches in front of him, and suddenly thought: "Yesterday, I boiled water and made tea with the snow falling from the plum blossoms. When I drank it, there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. Does that mean that the snow tastes like plum blossoms?" "
Thinking like this, Jiang Shu wanted to take a bite.
But she was pregnant and the snow was too cold, so she looked at Yu Zheng and said, "Husband, help me taste it."
Taste the snow?
Yu Zheng's eyebrows trembled. He couldn't do such a childish and boring thing.
"Husband—" Jiang Shu shook his hand and prayed softly.
Perhaps because of being pregnant with a child, Jiang Shu has become a little childish recently.
Yu Zheng held on until she called out for the third time, and finally gave in.
There is no one around, no one knows even if I am embarrassed.
Yu Zheng took a deep breath, raised his hand to lower the plum branch, opened his mouth to take a lump of snow on the plum blossom, and ate it into his mouth.
Jiang Shu looked at him expectantly and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious? Is it plum blossom flavored?"
Yu Zheng melted the snow in his mouth and swallowed it, his dark eyes flashed slightly and said: "Try it yourself."
After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Shu's reaction, Yu Zheng leaned over and kissed Jiang Shuying's lips.
"Uh-" Jiang Shu was caught off guard, and his apricot eyes widened in shock.
But soon, she closed her eyes again.
Yu Zheng's lips opened slightly, and he used his hot tongue to spread Jiang Shu's lips and teeth, inviting her to taste the taste of snow in his mouth.
"Hmm -" Jiang Shu felt a little cold and couldn't taste the slightest bit of plum blossoms.
He just wanted to tease her, but as soon as he kissed her, Yu Zheng fell.
He let go of Jiang Shu's hand and hugged her waist instead. The other hand held up the back of Jiang Shu's head and kissed her in the most comfortable position.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, Tang Pozi fell from Jiang Shu's hand, hit Yu Zheng's foot, and then rolled to the side.
"Yeah!" Yu Zheng groaned, frowning slightly, but did not let go of Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu wanted to laugh, but his lips and tongue were entangled with Yu Zheng's hook but he couldn't laugh. He could only reach out and hug Yu Zheng's waist to respond to his deep kiss.
In the snowy plum forest, thousands of plum blossoms are blooming in full bloom. The warm sunshine hits the two people, coating them with a hazy halo, which is as pleasing to the eye as the surrounding scenery.
Under the silent plum tree, intermittent moaning and panting could be heard, adding a bit of charm to the cold scenery.
"Shu'er..." Their lips parted, and Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu into his arms.
Jiang Shu leaned on Yu Zheng's chest and heard his fierce heartbeat.
"Husband, don't your feet hurt?" Jiang Shu asked with a sullen smile.
Yu Zheng choked, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Juan's face and he gritted his teeth and said, "It hurts!"
Tangbaozi, who was filled with water, hit his feet hard, how could it not hurt!
