Chapter 544 Sencha after Snow
Today’s weather is rare and sunny, the sky is blue, the sun shines through the clouds and falls on the white snow, shining with crystal clear light.
The palace attendant respectfully led the way and said, "Madam, you came early. The morning court has not yet started, so I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."
Cao Danqing sighed: " I'm just an idler in the back house, so I should wait."
She also heard about Zhou Jun's invasion.
Liang Huan is now the empress dowager, and there are many things that require her to make decisions.
If the eldest sister were still alive, I wonder how she would feel when she saw Gao Yang being assisted by Liang Huan?
What would my father do if he saw this scene?
The biting cold wind cut people's faces like knives.
She couldn't help but sigh secretly. She looked at the road ahead again and raised her eyebrows strangely: "Aren't you going to Hanguang Hall?"
"No."
The palace man simply answered and did not explain much.
Cao Danqing also kept his mouth shut knowingly.
This path was not often walked. She glanced around with her peripheral vision, and the direction seemed to be heading towards Lihua Garden.
It’s just that there is no good scenery in the Liuhua Garden in this season. Like other places, there are snow scenes everywhere.
Why did Liang Huan let her come here?
Cao Danqing was confused. He raised his eyebrows but saw that the palace attendant did not stop and turned to the climbing corridor on the other side.
"Please come this way, Madam." The palace man turned around and said calmly, not noticing the surprise on her face.
Cao Danqing frowned and vaguely remembered that at the end of the climbing corridor was an exquisite waterside pavilion with white walls and blue tiles.
As she walked, she saw a familiar palace and pavilion, which confirmed her guess.
She followed the palace man across the threshold, and the warm air instantly enveloped her, and the frost on her body seemed to melt away.
"Madam, let's take a rest here first."
The palace man placed her in place, then bowed and exited the door.
Cao Danqing sat quietly alone for a while, the tea in the cup in front of her was boiling hot, and she looked around.
That year, the eldest sister held a birthday banquet in the palace. Before the birthday banquet started, she stood upright and looked at the jacaranda flowers on the tree in trance. She didn't want to hear the ladies of the family gathering together to stir up trouble.
Cao Danqing stood up and walked to the window, which should be the Liuhua Garden next to it.
Thinking about it, I opened the window, and the cold wind blew in my face.
The snowy scenery you see is refreshing and cold.
My thoughts are like a wisp of hot air floating out of the window, gradually being submerged in the cold wind.
At that time, Zhou Yun was still there, Lian Ji was also pregnant, and the eldest sister was still the queen. At the banquet, she unexpectedly met her second sister, who had been missing for a long time.
At that time, she lived a depressed and unhappy life every day, but now, they are no longer here...
Her heart is calm, just like the winter scenery outside the window, it is lonely and desolate.
Cao Danqing stood silently by the window for an unknown amount of time.
Until there was a creak, the door behind him opened and someone stepped in.
"Picture."
The voice seemed to have a coldness that could not be covered by the heating.
Cao Danqing turned around and saw the person at the door, gorgeously dressed, standing with backlight, walking towards her step by step.
The snowy light outside the window was dazzling. Suddenly looking into the house, Cao Danqing couldn't see the face of the person coming.
She squinted her eyes and could only see the light from the complicated and luxurious palace dress and jewelry.
The visitor did not blame her for being rude. After calling her softly, he turned to give a few instructions to the palace servant beside him, and then looked at her with a smile.
Cao Danqing bowed his head and saluted: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Liang Huan came closer to take a look at her, looked out the window, was silent, and said: "Get up."
He added : "Danqing, there is no one else here, so you don't have to be polite."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Cao Danqing straightened up after thanking him.
Liang Huan withdrew her gaze and looked at the person in front of her. It was not a surprise that Cao Danqing came to her.
Cao Danqing did not mince words, raised his head and said bluntly: "Queen Mother, I came to you to ask for something."
Liang Huan smiled faintly and looked out the window again: "If you have anything to do, you can just tell me. I promised Zhou Yun would take care of you."
Zhou Yun... Cao Danqing felt a pain in his heart.
When she came, she had thought many times about how to say it and what to say.
She pursed her lips and was about to speak.
But I saw someone coming in carrying a small stove and tea fruits.
Liang Huan moved his eyes and looked over, pointed at the window and said to the palace servant: "Put it right over there."
The palace servants and servants were in order and arranged quickly.
Liang Huan turned around and invited Cao Danqing, who was standing silently behind him, to take a seat.
"If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."
After she finished speaking, she sat down first, retired from the palace and the servants, and made tea and boiled the wine herself.
The greenhouse became quiet again, and only the sound of crackling and burning fruit trees could be heard.
Cao Danqing raised his eyebrows and took a look. White steam came out of the ancient teapot. Oranges, longans, millet seeds, corns were placed on the baking sheet... The aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.
Liang Huan didn’t even raise his head, and said calmly: “The most pleasant thing is to make tea after snow.”
For many days, several parties in the court held their own opinions and were not convinced by each other.
The window sash is wide open, and you can sit in front of the stove. You don't feel cold at all, but you feel relaxed for a moment.
Cao Danqing did not answer, but sat down as he was told.
Liang Wei made a cup of tea and put it in front of her: "The cold wind has been blowing for so long, let's go and get rid of the cold."
Cao Danqing bowed his head and thanked her, but did not touch the table. tea cup.
Liang Huan pursed her lips and drank from the porcelain cup without forcing anything.
Cao Danqing lowered his eyes and calmed down, and said: "To be honest with the Queen Mother, I have selfish motives in asking to see the Queen Mother today. Grandpa is getting older, and his health has become worse since winter. Shaochun is Small and weak, far from the age to serve the country, I want to, I want to——"
Her clenched palms were full of moisture. Even though she had been mentally prepared along the way, she still found it difficult to Open your mouth.
Liang Huan lowered his eyes. As soon as he put down the tea cup, Cao Danqing straightened up, knelt down to the side and gritted his teeth.
“I also ask the Empress Dowager, for the sake of Zhou Yun’s sacrifice for the country, to allow me to return to my hometown as an old man, and wait until Shaochun grows up to become a man, and then serve the Lord and the Empress Dowager——”
< br>
Liang Huan glanced at the person whose forehead was touching the ground and interrupted her: "Danqing."
Cao Danqing did not stand up. He raised his eyes slightly and met a pair of bottomless black eyes.
Liang Huan smiled: "I think Zhou Situ should have ordered people to pack his bags in the mansion now."
Cao Danqing was lying on the ground, his body as stiff as a rock. The expression on Du's face changed again and again, and his lips trembled slightly.
"...The Queen Mother is, what does that mean?"
Liang Han picked up the wooden tongs, flipped the oranges on the baking sheet, and said calmly: "Since the dispersion of the dynasty, there is no longer Zhou Situ, only the good man Zhou Zhaoyuan."
Cao Danqing was stunned, his eyes widened. Suddenly she blushed and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Liang Huan put down the wooden folder: "No courtesy."
Cao Danqing relaxed all over, and his hanging heart finally returned to its original position. , but unconsciously felt a little guilty.
She knew very well that it was the time to hire people in the court, but for her own selfish reasons, she did not want to put her family in danger anymore.
Matters of family and country have never been her concern. To this day, she only wants to and can only protect her small family.
Cao Danqing bowed again, his throat a little tight.
"...The Queen Mother, please forgive me."
Liang Huan sighed silently, took Cao Danqing's arm and helped him up from the ground.
The huge palace room smells of wine and tea.
Liang Huan sat quietly in front of the desk and turned to look out the window at the lonely snow scene. The tea on the opposite side was not touched.
There was no sign of Cao Danqing at the door.
“You——”
Someone appears and disappears, walking forward.
Liang Huan didn’t look at him: “Tell them to bring some venison.”
Chunyu Bei was stunned.
Because there are too many things in the third dimension, I cannot update on time. I am really sorry. It will be finished this month. I promise not to give up!
