The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 167 It’s Snowing

The snow this year came especially late.

After looking forward to it day after day, Jingyan finally welcomed the first snow of this year.

The cold wind howled all night and the temperature dropped sharply. Jingyan slept well in the howling north wind.

The next morning, she woke up excitedly. The palace maid who was on guard last night told her that it was snowing, and she didn't know if it had stopped yet.

Thanks to the fact that the snow came extra late this year, the snow was also extra heavy.

But overnight, the entire Forbidden City was dressed in silver-white winter clothes, as beautiful as a crystal palace.

Small snowflakes were still floating in the sky, falling sporadically on the red plum tree in the yard, which was very beautiful.

This red plum tree was transplanted from the plum garden a while ago at Jingyan's strong request, saying that it would look beautiful in the winter when it snowed.

Sure enough, the whole yard is now white, dotted with red plum blossoms, which is beautiful.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. After finishing her haircut, the old lady came out to look at the snow-covered landscape and felt that next year would surely be a year of good harvest.

The old lady was in a very good mood. Seeing her little granddaughter playing in the snow in the yard, she smiled and called her in.

"You little girl, you don't even wear a cloak, just running around in the yard like this. If you get cold or catch a cold, you'll cry and complain about the bitterness of the medicine."

Jing Yan didn't care. "What do you mean by complaining about the bitterness of the medicine? That was a long time ago. I'm grown up now, so I don't complain about the bitterness of the medicine anymore."

The Empress Dowager nodded and exposed her without hesitation: "Yes, yes, if the Emperor hadn't asked the Imperial Physician Chang to change your prescription to something sweet, you would still be crying now."

Jingyan scratched his head shyly, that's because he was not afraid of taking medicine.

Lafayette: "Even in this situation, you can't get cold. Put on your cape quickly."

Jingyan smiled and held a pile of snow in front of the old Buddha: "Old Buddha, why don't we make tea around the fire?"

"Break tea around the fire? You always have such little ideas. Okay, then let's make tea around the fire, but the prerequisite is that you have to change into thicker clothes."

"As you command, Master Buddha."

The grandfather and grandson walked towards the hall together. Qing'er had already poured hot drinks to warm up the old lady and Jingyan.

Watching the two people come in, Qing'er smiled and said, "Yan'er is like this. She can't be stopped. She has to listen to you, Master Buddha, when you give her a word."

Qing'er is the opposite of Jingyan in this regard. She is extremely afraid of the cold. Even if she longs for the snowflakes, she will wrap herself in several thick layers of clothing before going out.

Jingyan took the milk tea handed to him by Qing'er with a smile, took a sip, and felt warm from his stomach to his heart.

After they had breakfast, the snow was not decreasing but increasing, which was exactly what Jingyan wanted. She asked the palace maids to set up the grill and stove, and to prepare enough silver charcoal.

As soon as the stove was put on, Seya flew in like a butterfly.

It was difficult to walk after the snow, and no one dared to take big steps. But Seya was different. She even jogged.

Seya, who usually likes to wear red clothes, wore a green dress for the first time today and held two bundles of red plums in her hands.

The green clothes, red plum blossoms and white snow are truly a beautiful picture.

Seeing her approaching, Jing Yan stepped forward to catch her: "I was so scared when I saw you running towards me just now that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. You are really brave. What if you slip?"

Seya chuckled nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? I know martial arts, how can a little snowflake faze me?"

Sai Ya handed the plum blossoms to Jing Yan's arms and said, "The plum blossoms in the plum garden are all in bloom, but I still prefer red plum blossoms, so I got up early to pick these. Let's decorate the house together."

Jingyan took the flowers and put them to his nose, and a sweet fragrance unique to plum blossoms came to him.

Jingyan took a deep breath, "It smells so good."

Seya smiled proudly. She had made a good choice. There were some blooming and some not blooming. This way the flowers would smell good for a long time.

Jingyan grinned and handed the prepared milk tea to Seya: "Saya, not only did you come the earliest, but you also brought such beautiful flowers. I'll reward you with a cup of milk tea."

Seya took it and drank it all. "Yours is sweet, not as good as our Mongolian milk tea."

Jingyan didn't comment, but picked up her cup and drank it happily. This was a modification of the modern milk tea she had made, and it was very fragrant.

Qing'er helped the old lady sit down and looked at the plum blossoms. The old lady also liked them very much.

The little palace maid brought a vase, and the three girls worked together to arrange the plum blossoms and placed them in every corner of the Cining Palace. For a moment, the Cining Palace was filled with a faint fragrance.

Qing'er looked at Seya and asked, "Why are you here alone this time? We thought Ertai would come with you."

After all, the two of them are now as close as one person, sticking together every day, and it is rare to see Seya come alone.

Seya waved her hand, looking mysterious. "Didn't they say they were going to play ice skating a few days ago? It snowed so heavily today, it's a perfect time of year. The emperor sent him to prepare it, and I guess we'll be able to see it in a few days."

Thinking of this, Seya waved her hands excitedly. After she went back, she asked around and found out that ice skating was really fun.

The old Buddha nodded. "Every time around this time, the emperor always organizes an ice skating performance. I'm sure Seya hasn't seen one before. This time, staying in the capital with Qi Keer, we can have some fun."

Seya smiled and nodded: "Old Buddha, I not only want to watch the performance, I also want to learn ice skating!"

The old lady smiled and nodded repeatedly. She really liked this girl, Seya.

After a while, Fu Ling'an and Yongheng came in the snow, each holding a package.

The two men entered the house and first paid their respects to the old lady.

"You two, why did you come here when it's snowing so heavily? You don't have to pay your respects every day."

Yongheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "Paying respects to you, the Imperial Grandmother, is one thing, but in reality, I'm here to show my courtesy."

As he spoke, Yongheng handed the package to Qing'er.

The old lady clearly understood and smiled, pretending to hit Yongheng on the head with her cane: "So, I was overthinking it, old woman?"

Yongheng dodged the question with a smile and said jokingly, "No, my grandson loves to pay his respects to you the most. So am I very diligent in paying my respects to you?"

Fu Lingan cupped his hands and said, "It happens to be snowing today. If Yongheng and I don't take out this gift now, it will be useless."

After saying that, Fu Lingan also took the opportunity to hand the package in his hand to Jing Yan: "Princess, take a look and see if you like it."

The two of them opened it together and found two white fox cloaks of similar style.

White foxes are not as common as red foxes, and Jingyan was very curious about how the two men got these two furs.

Seya laughed and joked, "Old Buddha, I think these two can't wait any longer. Why don't you just grant them marriages and wait until after the New Year for the three of us to get married together?"

The old lady also smiled and said, "You two gave gifts and even discussed coming together. It seems that it would be better if you just got married together when the time comes."

Yongheng waved his hands after hearing this: "No, that won't work. When my father comes, we must make things difficult for Fu Ling'an. He wants to marry my sister, and he's waiting for her."

Unexpectedly, Yongheng turned his back on him. Now is not the time to ask Fu Lingan, his brother-in-law, to wait for him to send gifts together.
