Chapter 517
Yingxiu stared blankly at his mother's strange behavior, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

What's the matter, ma'am?
Getting mad at a snowman?

Not knowing the current situation, she couldn't rush forward, so she could only stand aside and watch.

Ming Xi also felt bored, so she threw the wooden stick after a few strokes, slowly bent down and hugged her knees, and squatted in the snow in a daze.

Ying Xiu moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything, went back to the house silently, took an umbrella, and stood beside her without saying a word to support her.

Neither of them spoke, and the world was silent for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Yingxiu felt that her face was numb from the cold, and she heard a weak voice, as soft as a whisper, which would be blown away by the wind if she didn't pay attention.

"Yingxiu, tell me, is he angry with me?"

Ying Xiu's eyes were slightly dazed, and she lowered her eyes with some doubts. She met Ming Xi's clear and blank eyes, which were extremely soft, but with a touch of hesitation and entanglement, she was puzzled.

Who is the lady talking about?

Who dares to be angry with the empress?

Yingxiu was unresponsive, pondering the meaning of this sentence in her mind, she didn't say anything for a while, Mingxi didn't seem to want to know the answer, she seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up for a moment, she got up from the snow with hands and feet, patted With a dirty skirt, he kicked his legs and ran into the house.

Ying Xiu stared at her back, doubt and confusion flashed across her dull face.

What is going on in that little mind of your empress?Thinking about it is a way out...

After a while, she knew the answer.

Because Ming Xi came out again, holding a small box in her arms, she looked very familiar, she was not big, holding a small box that was half the height of a person walked staggeringly, people who watched were terrified.

Ying Xiu stared at the red lacquered wooden box, puzzled flashed in her eyes, she quickly stepped forward to take it, but as expected, Ming Xi was not touched by her.

Yingxiu is not surprising, after all, the empress treasures this box very much on weekdays. If she has to describe it, this small box is the empress's treasure chest. She puts all rare and precious things in it, and even she can't touch it.

Ming Xi carefully put the box on the ground, then opened it, revealing the contents inside.

There are quite a lot of miscellaneous things, most of them are sent from the imperial capital, and whenever they get something good there, they will be sent to them. Mingxi always behaves plainly, but Yingxiu knows, then this Everything, without exception, was stored inside by her as a treasure.

She didn't say anything, but she was happy in her heart.

Yingxiu seemed to understand the reason for the empress's strangeness before, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Is it because His Majesty still delivered gifts on time this year?
But the battle at the border was tight, and His Majesty was too busy to touch the ground. Presumably, he had forgotten about it.

Yingxiu wanted to defend her master a few words, but she didn't know where to start. Although everyone knew who gave these things, but she didn't pierce the window paper. Wouldn't it be bad for her to speak rashly? ...

She was at war in her heart, and her attention was quickly diverted, "Ma'am, what are you doing?"

Ying Xiu stared at her movements in surprise and asked questions.

Ming Xi dug a hole with her hands under a plum tree. After a while, her soft and white hands turned red from the cold. She carefully picked up a dry leaf. The leaf had long since withered, leaving only clear veins. Outlining the outline, she traced the shape of the veins with her fingertips lingeringly in her eyes. She put the leaf into the pit without turning her head, followed by a dry flower, a piece of dogtail grass, a kite...

"Didn't you see it? I'm burying something..."

Her tone sounded flat.

Yingxiu opened her mouth, her unchanging dullness was covered by astonishment, and her eyes were unimaginable, "But...but don't you like these things very much?"

It is not allowed to touch it on weekdays...

Yingxiu wondered if her mother had gone mad with anger.

Ming Xi blinked, "I still like it now, but in a different way."

No matter how she explained it, Ying Xiu couldn't understand it. She just felt that the empress must be angry, so she used this method to vent her anger.

Rationally, she felt that His Majesty was a bit miserable, but emotionally, she chose to stand by her mother's side unconditionally.

Someone reported the situation here to Dijing as usual, but it was already a few days later when it was sent to Yue Lisu's desk.

The border war came to an end, but it was still not time to relax his vigilance, he was finally able to take a breath in his busy schedule, and only then did he read the letter from the Taimiao.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

……

Recently, His Majesty was so busy with border affairs that he didn't have time to catch his breath. Li Dezhong saw it and felt very distressed. Finally, he could rest for a while. He ordered the imperial dining room to make some supplements. Even the gods couldn't stand it. What a toss!
Just as he was about to serve it to his Majesty, he saw him leaving the Qianqing Palace with a dark face. Li Dezhong forced a smile on his face and was about to speak, only to hear him say coldly, "Prepare the horse, I'm going out of Beijing."

In a blink of an eye, there was no figure in sight.

???

He stood where he was, with a blank expression on his face.

Is there any news from the border?
Why do you want to leave Beijing suddenly? It's still at such a critical time!
Yue Li Su didn't explain to him, but prepared a horse and left the imperial capital that night.

Teng Ju ran wildly on Moshang, and was blown by the icy wind and snow. The blood in his mind could not help calming down. After thinking about what he had done, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But even if he calmed down, he had no intention of going back.

The brain is cold, but the heart is hot.

He thought, it's good to take a look, even if it's just a glance, he can feel at ease.

Passing through the suburbs, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a plum blossom in full bloom. In this quiet night, in a remote corner, it was blooming enthusiastically and scorchingly.

His heart moved slightly, and when he realized it, he stretched out his hand uncontrollably, rode his horse and raised his whip, and leaned over to grab a branch, which still carried the crystal clear dewdrops in the night, and the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms made people's hearts rippling .

Even this lonely journey doesn't seem to be that long.

The imperial capital is far from the Taimiao, and it takes three days to arrive at least, but it only took two days and one night to get there.

He came suddenly without anyone notifying.

It was already late at night when we arrived at the Taimiao, and the ancient building fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, she must have rested.

Yue Lisu walked at an unhurried pace, unable to tell whether he was nervous or looking forward to it.

He thought of something and took something out of his arms.

It was a branch of plum blossom. After experiencing the ravages of the journey, the petals were a little wilted, as if they had been ravaged. Fortunately, there was still a faint fragrance left.

An almost imperceptible look of annoyance crossed his face.
