Glory all the way

Chapter 69 First Snow
The embroidery class was over, and it was already white outside. The girls excitedly lifted up their skirts and stepped on the beautiful patterns on the white space. Behind them came the soft coughing of Nurse Cui from Shoukang Palace. The girls The children looked at each other with a smile, shrugged, hurriedly put down the skirt, and walked forward in a regular manner.

Blinking at Bai Yingluo, motioning her to stay for a while, the sixth princess led her straight back to Yunrou Hall.

"Sister Mei will come in a while, let's talk together, and then you and sister Mei will go out of the palace together, so that you will have someone to accompany you, so you won't be bored..."

Talking warmly, the two walked into the Yunrou Hall, but Bai Yingluo couldn't help but think of Lin Zhiyu who always protects her sister for fear that she will be bullied.

"Oh well."

Responding softly, Bai Yingluo was a little nervous.

Lin Zhiyu helped the two elders of the Bai family gain a foothold on that street, but Bai Yingluo never believed it. He was the kind of person who rescued the poor and the poor in times of crisis. If it wasn't for this reason, then it was because of Bai Yingluo and the sixth princess To be more precise, he knew that Bai Yingluo didn't want to go to that stall to eat wontons on a whim.

As if Lin Zhiyu had seen through her thoughts, Bai Yingluo was a little afraid of seeing Lin Zhiyu.

After a while, there was a report from a maid outside the hall, saying that Miss Lin had arrived, and as soon as Bai Yingluo got up, the sixth princess had rushed out to welcome her.

"Sister Mei..."

Calling softly, the sixth princess affectionately took Lin Zhimei's arm and entered the main hall.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo was there, Lin Zhimei nodded politely and smiled, "Miss Bai."

"Sister Mei, you can just call her Yingluo, Miss Bai, she's so unfamiliar."

Charming, the sixth princess turned around and ordered Lihua and Taohua to prepare cakes and tea, and the three of them sat down around the brocade table.

After a few words, the voices of maidservants greeting the prince and Lin Zhiyu came from outside the hall.

The Sixth Princess and Lin Zhimei were overjoyed, but Bai Yingluo's heart skipped a beat.

"Brother Prince, you haven't been tripped in Chuxiu Pavilion?"

The sixth princess looked at the prince playfully and smiled.

Xu Shi knew about the relationship between the crown prince and Lin Zhimei early in the morning. Dou Xiuzhu courted Lin Zhimei in every possible way on the surface, but in private, she maintained a close relationship with Fu Shuyun. Thinking about it, the idea was for the two to get married together Squeeze out Lin Zhimei.

But since Fu Shuyun was selected as the prince's side concubine, she was naturally not that stupid. Now she has an unclear attitude, and she is equally friendly to Dou Xiuzhu and Lin Zhimei on the face, as if the three of them are ordinary boudoir ladies in the capital. Not the concubines of the Eastern Palace.

In this way, Dou Xiuzhu gradually alienated the two of them.

Waking up early, Dou Xiuzhu, Lin Zhimei and Fu Shuyun all entered the palace to see off the Queen Mother. After the guard of honor left the palace, the three went to Ninghua Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

After that, they went to Chuxiu Pavilion to meet Concubine Lan together.

Concubine Lan already liked the Dou sisters. Seeing Fu Shuyun and Lin Zhimei were there, she said a few words, and then sent the palace servants to send them out of the palace. Only Dou Xiuzhu was left behind. On the other side, Concubine Lan sent someone to invite them The prince passed, the meaning is self-evident.

Embarrassed, the crown prince looked back at Lin Zhimei, and seeing that there was no complaint in her eyes, Fang replied frankly: "After sitting for a cup of tea, he came out and didn't say a few words."

The sixth princess smiled, and when she turned around, she saw that Lin Zhimei's ears were already red. She was afraid that she would be annoyed if she joked again, so she changed the subject and looked at Lin Zhiyu and asked, "Brother Yu, are you here to pick up Sister Mei out of the palace?" ? Then I will trouble you to take Yingluo out of the palace and send it back to Jing'an Hou Mansion, okay?"

"Don't bother, don't bother, I'll just take the palace carriage."

Said anxiously, Bai Yingluo waved her hands again and again, but Lin Zhiyu didn't answer, and gave the prince a sideways glance with a smile in his eyes, "Didn't you say that when it snows, someone can't sit still and wants to go Meilin appreciates the snow, hey, now people are rushing to drive us away, I'm afraid your efforts to protect us will be in vain."

After Lin Zhiyu finished speaking, the sixth princess immediately showed an expression of joy, "Brother Yu, you are the best. Brother Prince, you still love me the most."

Hugging the prince's arm and jumping, the sixth princess raised her voice and called out to Li Hua, "Li Hua, go find my soft buckskin boots and come out, Tao Hua, where is my fox fur?"

Going to Meilin to enjoy the snow is fake, but it is probably true to have a snowball fight. Lihua and Taohua are the servants of the six princesses, how could they not know her temperament, and immediately went into the inner palace to prepare.

Coming out of the inner hall, the sixth princess was already dressed in warm but easy-to-move clothes. A group of five people went out, and took a few maidservants straight to Meiyuan in the northeast corner of the imperial garden.

Before approaching, a faint fragrance lingered from the tip of the nose, making people unable to help but raise their eyes to pursue it.

A few steps forward, there is already an open plum forest in front of you, either red or white, with endless fragrance exuded from the small stamens, and the noontime white snow still remains on the branches.

There is a pavilion in the northeast corner of Meiyuan. The maidservants entered the pavilion earlier, laid soft cushions on the stone benches, and placed several copper stoves brought by them on both sides of the stone table. Tea and snacks were placed on the table. and dried fruit platter.

A group of five people sat down one after another, and after talking for a while, the sixth princess couldn't sit still and stood up, pulling Bai Yingluo and Lin Zhimei to pick plum branches and make vases.

The Empress Dowager was not in the palace, and Emperor Jiayuan and the Empress were not such strict people, the girls showed an unrestrained temperament at this moment, and after a while, cheerful laughter like silver bells sounded in the plum forest.

"It may not be a few months before Mei'er can live freely. Have you ever thought about the future?"

His eyes followed the bright and dancing colors in the forest, but Lin Zhiyu's complexion was a little serious. Presumably, he thought of his sister's life after entering the palace.

Now that she has not yet married into the East Palace, the Queen Mother has already publicly expressed her dislike for Lin Zhimei. In the future, she will become a rightful concubine of the crown prince. She couldn't relax, thinking of this, Lin Zhiyu felt full of suffocation.

The crown prince frowned lightly, sighed, and said in a promise-like way: "Now, even if I solemnly promise, you may not believe me. But no matter what, I will try my best to protect her and not let her go." She suffered even the slightest bit of harm. At the very least, within the Eastern Palace, even the Crown Princess would never dare, nor could she be angry with her, how about it?"

The thin lips were drawn into a line, and Lin Zhiyu didn't nod or shake his head. After a while, he sighed helplessly, "After all, you are the one Meier has identified. Now, I can only trust you."

After all, Lin Zhiyu looked back at the prince and said, "Song Xiang, you and I have known each other for many years. We are both monarchs and ministers, and brothers. Once you lose Mei'er, then we will only be monarchs and ministers."

After understanding the meaning of Lin Zhiyu's words, the prince nodded.

The originally relaxed atmosphere became heavy because of Lin Zhiyu's words, and even the voice of the sixth princess calling them to the past was drowned out.

Until a younger palace maid came forward with a worried expression, the prince and Lin Zhiyu met their eyes, got up and walked towards the sixth princess and the other three as if nothing had happened.

The topic turned to the good expectation of auspicious snow for a good year. Lin Zhiyu was looking sideways at the prince, echoing his words, and was caught off guard by a snow ball on his shoulder. Looking back, the sixth princess had already shouted to Lin Zhiyu. Zhimei hid behind her, and beside her, Bai Yingluo's brows and eyes were curved with a smile, and there were bits and pieces of light in her eyes, which were indescribably charming.

Lin Zhiyu's heart felt hot for no reason.

Before he had time to react, the prince next to him was also hit by a snowball, but it was the sixth princess who took advantage of the two of them in a daze and succeeded in sneaking from behind Lin Zhimei.

The maidservants in the palace scattered around, watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and hearts, just pretending not to see, the prince smiled, picked up a handful of snow, squeezed it into a snow ball in his hand, and threw it at the sixth princess, but unexpectedly, But the snow ball landed on Lin Zhimei's chest.

Pretty face flushed, Lin Zhimei was ashamed and angry, leaned over and grabbed the snow and sprinkled it on the prince, back and forth, the snow battle between three women and two men began.

Compared with the men's physical strength, the girls' physical strength was far behind. After a while, the three girls were all in a panic.

Seeing that the sixth princess was hit by Lin Zhiyu many times, the prince felt sorry for his sister, so he threw Lin Zhiyu against the water, and the snow ball shuttled back and forth in the plum forest, so it was inevitable to accidentally injure others.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, the camp of the enemy and us has changed, and it becomes the prince with the sixth princess and Lin Zhimei, and fights back against Lin Zhiyu and Bai Yingluo.

The number of people was uneven, and Bai Yingluo suffered a lot. Lin Zhiyu stood in front of her and blocked the fierce attack.

The last time Lin Zhiyu went out to play together on Double Ten, Lin Zhiyu was somewhat protective of Bai Yingluo, this time it was even more obvious, the sixth princess was waving around behind her head, excited about playing, her hands were red from the winter snow but she didn't care, With a face full of excitement, he shouted: "Brother Yu, Ying Luo is here, you can only see her in your eyes, and you can't even take care of your own sister and Si Ran, who has played with you since childhood."

As soon as the sixth princess finished speaking, Bai Yingluo's frozen red face turned even redder, and even her ears were blushing. Standing behind Lin Zhiyu, she didn't know whether to hide, or if she didn't hide, she was extremely ashamed.

After playing for a while, the five of them returned to the pavilion, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet to get closer to the fireplace, while Bai Yingluo silently retreated to the end.

His eyes dimmed, but Lin Zhimei handed her the hand stove, "Yingluo, you can use it."

Wanting to decline, Lin Zhimei took Bai Yingluo's hand and put it in her palm without allowing her to explain, Bai Yingluo smiled gratefully, but Lin Zhimei's words immediately made Bai Yingluo cough in surprise.

"My elder brother is a person who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade. If he sees Yingluo suffering from the cold, he must feel the same way. So, how can a younger sister let the elder brother suffer from the cold? Princess, don't you think so?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhimei turned her head and blinked at the sixth princess, and the two showed a sly smile in a very tacit understanding.

I just feel that the hand stove in my hand is like a hot potato, neither is Bai Yingluo holding it or throwing it away, she just stands there with her face reddened and her head lowered, like a wronged little daughter-in-law , Lin Zhiyu looked at it, but there was a faint sense of pity in his heart.
