Chapter 894: Winter solstice

Time flies, and the winter solstice has arrived in a blink of an eye, and the weather is getting colder and colder. All the concubines in the palace put on heavy fur coats and hid in their own palace, holding a warm hand stove and burning a charcoal fire. Spend your own winter lazily.
When it comes to winter, people are particularly prone to sleepiness, as if an animal is hibernating, this doze is not enough.
Du Xuechun has been lying in bed for a long time. Every time Feng Xuanming goes to Yikun Palace to look for her, as long as the sun has not fully risen in the air at noon, Du Xuechun will never wake up.
Feng Xuan Che could always see Du Xuechun curled up in the quilt, his eyes closed, looking very comfortable, completely unaware of his arrival. At first, Feng Xuan Che thought that the carbon fire in Yikun Palace was not enough and the main hall was not warm enough.
Du Xuechun was afraid of the cold, so he still refused to get up in the morning! Feng Xuanche ordered the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give a lot of golden nanmu charcoal to Yikun Palace, for fear that Du Xuechun would be cold or wronged.
Feng Xuan Che didn't understand until later. Du Xuechun didn't want to get up because he was afraid of the cold! She is obviously lazy!
After Feng Xuanche knew about this, he couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only go to the bedroom where Du Xuechun was located every morning, regardless of whether he was going to bed in Yikun Palace or not, and personally ask Du Xuechun to get up in the morning.
Du Xuechun was bored with this for a long time. Every time, Feng Xuanche had to pull her from the warm bedding, freshen her up and let her eat breakfast, but Du Xuechun was extremely unwilling. Because after breakfast, she had nothing to deal with, so she could only sit idly on the warm Kang in a daze.
Now, the empress dowager has already spoken. Because the weather is so cold in winter, many concubines can't get up, so the morning and evening greetings are eliminated. In addition, Du Xuechun also handled many things in the palace.
Du Xuechun had already entrusted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take care of many small and complicated things, and she didn't have to worry about it at all.
However, Du Xuechun just didn't understand why Feng Xuanche had to hold her and not let her sleep in. This made her really puzzled. Du Xuechun was pulled from the bedding by Feng Xuanche several times and wanted to get angry.
However, after Du Xuechun opened his eyes and saw Feng Xuanche's cowardly smile, the evil fire in his stomach was all held back.
Du Xuechun always had no words to say, and she complained to Mingying innocently, and she didn't dare to say too much. He said too much, for fear of when Mingying's mouth would click, she turned and told Feng Xuan Che, Feng Xuan Che will feel sad and sad after hearing this.
Mingying once saw Du Xuechun get up in the morning, always sitting motionless on the warm Kang, with a thin velvet blanket on her knees, holding her chin with her hands without saying a word, silently staring at the door of the sleeping hall, and her eyelids were getting worse. It was getting heavier and deeper, and there was a tendency to fall asleep again. Mingying was distressed and hurriedly stepped forward, watching Du Xuechun whispered:
"Manny, if you are sleepy, go to the bed to rest. Don't sit on your back. It's not a way.
Look, Niang Niang, you are always sleepy and tired these days, and you don't like to talk. Even your appetite is much worse. The slave and maid guessed that it was your majesty who was worried that you would starve your body if you didn't eat, the empress.
This is how often and eagerly run over every morning, let the empress get up early. "
It turned out that Mingying had seen the helplessness in Du Xuechun's heart early in the morning, but just stood by and didn't say anything.
After listening to Mingying's words, Du Xuechun nodded silently, but there was still no trace of emotion on his face, and everything looked indifferent. He was totally unconscious and uninterested.
Seeing this, Mingying couldn't help worrying, and asked in a soft voice: "Mianniang, are you sick? Would you like to let the doctor Song come and take a look?"
"You girl, you really can’t spit out ivory, can you expect me to be a little better, and always ask if I’m sick? I’m just tired in the winter and I’m too lazy to move. There is nothing wrong with you. No need to worry!"
Du Xuechun raised her head dumbfounded, glanced at Mingying lightly, and explained with a look of lovelessness.
After hearing Du Xuechun's words, Mingying couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, flushed, and quickly turned and leaned to the other side, no longer paying attention to Du Xuechun, and whispered: "What, mother! I'm just worried about you, you! By the way, it really is...the kindness is not rewarded, huh."
Seeing that Mingying was so charming, Du Xuechun couldn't help but want to play a prank in her heart. I saw Du Xuechun slowly stretched out her hand, tugged Mingying's clothes corner, and whispered:
"Okay, I just talk about it casually, and I don't mean it, or... you go get me some melon and fruit snacks. I think it's pretty boring to sit here, maybe I read a book and eat a little Snack, maybe the spirit will be better?"
Mingying heard the sound, nodded hurriedly, and replied: "Okay, since the queen mother wants it, then I will go right now, the queen mother, please wait, it will be fine in a while."
As soon as Mingying's voice fell, she ran out of the dormitory, Du Xuechun, upon seeing this, quickly summoned the little standing aside and said:
"Come on, you go and summon Commander Yang in a hurry, saying that the palace is looking for him for something, and you need to discuss it with him in the hall."
Unsure of what Du Xuechun wanted to do, the little had to salute Du Xuechun respectfully, and after repeated responses, he turned and exited the sleeping hall.
Du Xuechun had nothing to do, got up on the warm kang bed and walked to the bed, took out a fur coat and put it on her body, and then walked slowly to the entrance of the hall, looking at the courtyard outside the hall without blinking. .
Soon, Mingying walked in with a food box full of snacks. Seeing Du Xuechun standing at the door of the dormitory, Mingying was motionless, staring at something in a daze.
Mingying couldn't help but be a little curious, followed Du Xuechun's gaze, and found that there was nothing, she couldn't help but ask:
"Mother, what are you looking at? You are so obsessed and motionless, but don't stand here. The weather outside is too cold. It's not good to freeze you."
While talking, Mingying wanted to reach out and help Du Xuechun back into the dormitory, but Du Xuechun shook her head and rejected Mingying, and said in a deep voice:
"I look at the sky, it may be snowing soon."
After hearing Du Xuechun's words, Mingying felt very unbelievable. Although it is now the winter solstice, it will snow sooner or later.
But for the entire Dashun, snow in winter is extremely rare, because they are located at the southern end of Dashun. Even if it snows, you will rarely see large tracts of snowflakes, almost always some. The sporadic little snow is nothing, there is almost no difference if the snow does not fall.
"Empress, do you want to see the snow?"
Mingying hugged the food box in her hand again, only to feel that the cold wind outside the temple seemed to be colder than before, and it was too cold for her to hold it.
Fortunately, the Empress Empress was very good to the entire Yikun Palace, and rewarded them with a lot of carbon fire and thick clothes. Otherwise, it is estimated that many people will find it difficult to survive this winter.
