Chapter 4

"Princess, Your Majesty has told you that you have to kneel outside the jade steps of the Yuqing Palace, please move the princess out of the palace." The eunuchs were busy making matters worse.

Xueyi straightened her half-squatting body and walked down the jade steps lightly. In the cold night, the cold wind was blowing from all directions. She knelt silently in the snow. On her hair, on her shoulders, the biting chill spread and crawled from her knees, swimming all over her body.

After a night of snowstorm
At two o'clock in the morning, dots of morning light came out from the vast snow-white world, and it was dawn.

Xiao Dezi, who was holding the stove and guarding outside the hall, was woken up by the cool morning wind, and sneezed, and quickly covered his nose with his sleeve, for fear of waking up the emperor who slept in the inner hall.

Rubbing his eyes and looking down the jade steps, where is the figure of the princess?

Between the snowdrifts, there was a section of shining silver jewelry and a piece of brocade clothing.

"Oh, that's not good!" Xiao Dezi woke up with a start. After all, this is also a princess, and she still wants to marry her. If she really freezes to death, these slaves will not be able to escape the heavy responsibility.

"Quick! Wake up, the princess is buried in the snowdrifts, you slaves are desperate, and you will be lazy when you are on duty at night!" Several eunuchs and maids on duty were kicked awake one after another, their teeth chattering from the cold .

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps from the corridor of Yuqing Palace, and in a blink of an eye several people had already arrived at the entrance of the palace. It was a maid in green clothes and a small jacket leading two little maids in blue clothes.

Xiao Dezi could see from afar that the maid in green clothes was Abi, the princess' maid.

Abi was still holding a lantern in her hand, her body was covered with snowflakes, her hair was disheveled, her eye sockets were sunken, she seemed to have not slept all night.

As soon as you time came, at ten o'clock in the evening, the maids of other palaces could no longer enter the Yuqing Palace, so she had to wait outside anxiously all night, and when the door opened early in the morning, she rushed in directly.

"Where is the princess!"

Abi grabbed Xiao Dezi's lapel and asked, Abi is a little kung fu, always cold-tempered, not afraid of anything except her master being wronged.

Before Xiao Dezi said anything, Abi followed his sneaky eyes and looked down the jade steps, almost suffocating.

One jumped down the steps and pulled the unconscious Nalan Xueyi out of the snowdrift, "Princess! Princess, there is nothing wrong with you. The princess is Abi who is late and Abi will take you back to the palace."

"Why are you still standing there in a daze, go back to the palace and prepare hot water, furs and blankets, the more the better!" Abi shouted at the two little maids who came close to her, who had never seen Abi like this The fire was so loud that my heart was startled, and I was shaking in the cold wind. I saw the princess was buried in the snowdrift and was frozen like a popsicle.
"Quick—"

Abi yelled again, only to wake them up, and hurried towards the Youxue Tower where the fifth princess lived.

"Who is making such noise outside!"

Perhaps it was Abi's loud cry that disturbed Emperor Yuande who was sleeping peacefully in the inner hall, Xiao Dezi walked a few steps and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, yes, it is Abi, the maidservant of the fifth princess."
