Daughter of aristocratic family

After having lunch at Yun Mansion, Yun Hao was going to accompany Zhao Wangshu to the street, but unexpectedly his men came over and said, "Sir, your Majesty is calling for you urgently."

Zhao Wangshu said considerately: "You go and do your business, I can go shopping by myself."

"It's snowing and the roads are slippery. Don't go shopping. I'll accompany you another day." Yun Hao touched her head and said, "Be obedient."

"I know." Zhao Wangshu had no choice but to go home obediently.

When I got home, I heard the good news that Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu were getting married.

The two families started the process of getting married. Zhao Wangshu didn't have to worry about any of this. She just stayed at home during the winter.

In addition to reading, writing, practicing piano, and painting every day, she also makes some female celebrities. Occasionally, she writes recipes and asks the young lady to feed them to her.

In the blink of an eye, it's the Laba Festival again, and every household is cooking Laba porridge. The aroma is overflowing, making Zhao Wangshu salivate.

The servants brought in the cooked Laba porridge, which had been cooked overnight. It was sweet and glutinous, and Zhao Wangshu liked it.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Zhao Wangshu suddenly thought of Yun Hao and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yue'er, it's such a big festival, why are you sighing?" Zhao Li asked puzzledly.

"One bowl is not enough, I want another bowl." Zhao Wangshu said casually, embarrassed that she was thinking about Yun Hao.

"Glutty cat." Mrs. Zhao Li glanced at her angrily, "Hold on carefully."

"Meow." Snowball thought he was talking about it.

Mrs. Zhao Cui touched it and said, "Although Laba porridge is delicious, you can't be greedy for too much."

"Eat another small bowl." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

After the Laba Festival, it has been snowing heavily. Seeing the snow getting thicker and thicker, Mrs. Zhao Cui said worriedly: "It's snowing so hard, I'm afraid it will cause a disaster."

Mrs. Zhao Cui's worries were not unfounded. It snowed heavily for seven days, and the entire capital was covered in white. The snow was already up to her knees.

In the streets and alleys, people were walking in a hurry, with worries and uneasiness on their faces.

Those who went to the market to buy vegetables didn’t get much vegetables today. “It snowed so much that the vegetable farmers stopped coming to the city to sell vegetables.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Cui frowned, "Have you prepared all the food and firewood at home?"

Zhao Li replied: "I have prepared some, enough to last for a while."

Mrs. Zhao Cui felt a little relieved now, but she still ordered the purchaser: "Go to the market and buy more grain and firewood. Also, see if there are any vegetables available. You don't have to choose, just buy them all and prepare them. "

Looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, Mrs. Zhao Cui sighed, "This snow will not stop for a while."

"Old lady, even if there are grains and firewood on the market, they are probably not cheap," Caimai reminded.

"Be more expensive, it's better than going hungry and freezing." Mrs. Zhao Cui asked Mrs. Zhao Li to take out three hundred taels of silver notes and give them to the buyer.

"Young man, let's go buy it now." Buying took the banknote and headed to the market in the wind and snow.

I went shopping in the market. Although the prices soared, I still bought a lot of grain and firewood. He also specially found some vendors and bought all the vegetables in their hands. No matter whether they were fresh or not, he would bring them back and prepare them.

The heavy snow shows no sign of stopping, but is getting heavier and heavier.

There were no more people walking around on the street, and the shops were closing down one after another.

The weather was so cold that the frail Zhao Shuqing fell ill. Princess Rui grew up treating her like her own daughter and found several imperial doctors to treat her.

She was not the only one who fell ill, but also the poor whose houses were crushed by the heavy snow. They were shivering without their homes and had nowhere to go.

In such a snowy day, they can only rely on each other's body temperature to stay warm, and countless people freeze to death or suffer from frostbite.

The prince's mansion, the Duke's mansion, the prince's mansion, the uncle's mansion and other noble families distributed porridge and medicine in the streets and alleys. On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the snow that lasted for more than ten days finally stopped, and Chen Xiao also returned to the capital on this day.

Zhao Shuqing was overjoyed when she heard the news, but she was ill in bed and couldn't see Chen Xiao.

"I can't see you, then let you come to see me." Zhao Shuqing knew that Song Consort's sister was married to Chen Xiao's second uncle as his stepmother.

She deliberately suggested to Princess Rui Chengcheng: "I heard that my aunt has married into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and the second son of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has come to Beijing. Won't the adoptive mother entertain him?"

Princess Rui grew up staring at her with deep eyes. "Do you know Chen Xiao?"

"Mr. Chen is Shuqing's savior." Zhao Shuqing said shyly.

"Oh, when did it happen?" Princess Rui said, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"The year before last, I went back to the village for the winter solstice to celebrate the festival, and I was frightened. Mr. Chen saved me." Zhao Shuqing chose the easy and avoided the serious. "I have always wanted to repay Mr. Chen, but I never found the opportunity."

"That's it." Princess Rui grew up and chuckled, "Okay, then I'll send you a post to invite him."

Zhao Shuqing was so happy that her pale cheeks turned a little red.

When the post about Ruichang Princess Mansion was sent to Chen Xiao, he was playing in the board game hall with Yao Zhen, Gao Zhi, Qin Nan, Zhao Yin, and Hao Bai.

From Yao Shanzhi and others, they learned about games such as Werewolf. They found it quite interesting and became addicted to it.

Looking at the post, Chen Xiao was surprised, "Why did the eldest princess post to invite me?"

His second uncle was married to Song's consort's sister, but the two families didn't have much contact.

Yao Zhen and others were also puzzled. Zhao Yin said, "Let me ask Miss Song for you."

Gao Zhi laughed and asked, "Brother Zhao, you and she are already engaged, and you still call her Miss Song? That's too foreign."

Yao Zhen slapped him on the back of the head, "That's Chang Ming respecting his fiancée."

Chen Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Chang Ming, thank you for your work."

"It's a trivial matter." Zhao Yin smiled.

Zhao Yin really wanted to go to Princess Chang's Mansion to find Song Yuanqu, but he was afraid that Princess Rui would stop him, so he begged his sister Zhao Wangshu to go.

In order to let her go, Zhao Yin specially brought back her favorite pastries, "Yue'er, Wan Jun received an invitation from Princess Rui Changcheng's Mansion, and Princess Rui Changcheng is going to hold a dust-washing banquet for him."

"If someone invites you to dinner, let's go." Zhao Wangshu unwrapped the oil paper bag and took a piece of osmanthus candy to chew on.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion and Princess Rui Changcheng's Mansion have not had much contact and have little friendship. Princess Rui Changcheng suddenly wanted to hold a dust-cleansing banquet for him. It was a bit strange. Wan Jun was afraid that it was the Hongmen Banquet."

Zhao Wangshu was thoughtful, and Zhao Yin continued: "Wan Jun wants to find out why Princess Rui Chengcheng held a dust-washing banquet for him."

"No need to ask, I know why Princess Rui wanted to invite him."

"Why?" Zhao Yin asked.

"Princess Rui Chengcheng is so kind to Zhao Shuqing, her adopted daughter."

"Is this banquet organized by Zhao Shuqing?" Zhao Yin guessed it accurately.

Zhao Wangshu nodded and recounted what happened the year before last, "And Zhao Shuqing once told the old lady in the mansion that she wanted to marry Chen Xiao."

"The one who saved her was obviously not Wan Jun, how could she lie?" Zhao Yin said unhappily.

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows, "In her opinion, it's not a lie. The people who saved her were indeed Chen Xiao's men."

"I will tell Wan Jun about this to avoid being plotted against," Zhao Yin said.
