Generally, charcoal stoves have special shapes and have carvings on them. However, there is a charcoal stove here. I don¡¯t know if it is specially made. The top is indeed hollow and flat. Put the entire food box on it. The three masters and servants gathered around the charcoal stove to keep warm. When the food was a little warm, they each ate half a bowl of rice.
Man Yue and Wei Lian'er originally wanted to share their meals with Ming Ruoxie, but Ming Ruoxie didn't agree. She couldn't do something like eating herself full and leaving those around her hungry.
Although the food is cold, it tastes good.
"Princess, is the emperor really poor?" Man Yue asked Ming Ruoxie quietly.
If this is a meal for a princess in the palace, it is really shabby, unless it is true that the emperor is poor and the treasury is empty.
The emperor must be frugal.
"It should be so." Ming Ruoxie thought of a question. Logically speaking, even if the country is weak, the Dazhen land is rich in resources, so the people should not be so poor, and the taxes should not be small. Where is the money spent? went?
The emperor is not so short of money.
It seems that we still need to find an opportunity to talk to Sikong Ji about this matter and let him investigate it carefully.
"I don't know if the emperor really had to wait until midnight to come to her, but Ming Ruoxie still let Man Yue and Wei Lian'er go to bed. Fortunately, they could have company together.
She herself wanted to sleep, but she didn't know why. She could sleep even if she slept outdoors, but she was covered with this sky-blue quilt in the Fuzhao Palace and smelled faintly in the room, which seemed to be a little old. She couldn't sleep due to the smell of ink and some wooden furniture.
Since I couldn¡¯t sleep, I used my consciousness to chat with Alu in the medicine storehouse.
Luo Zhi had been so excited because of the medicinal materials for the Heart-Protecting Pill that she had obtained. Ming Ruoxie also heard from Sikongji that the Heart-Protecting Pill was a very precious thing to the whole world, so she asked A Lu to study some of those medicinal materials. .
When she has a chance to get the Heart-Protecting Pill in the future, she can let Alu try to imitate the Heart-Protecting Pill.
This kind of medicine is so precious, so if she had dozens of pills in her hand, wouldn¡¯t she suddenly become a hot and wealthy person? To talk to someone, handing over a heart-protecting pill is a big bargaining chip.
Ah Lu has now gained some insights. Anyway, with a genius like him, things should come true one day.
It was midnight, and Ming Ruoxie felt a little sleepy. But at this moment, the palace door was pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in. She woke up instantly. She had been sleeping on her side facing outside. The screen in front was very thin, and a small orange light came through, as if someone had brought a lantern.
Although separated by a screen, when the door opened, the wind still rushed in.
The footsteps were a little faint, and they didn¡¯t sound like strong people.
Ming Ruoxie sat up slowly. She was lying with her clothes on. After sitting up and adjusting her collar, she heard the emperor's voice coming from the other side of the screen.
"Mingting, get up."
Ming Ruoxie was really speechless. It was really the emperor who came in person, and he really waited until midnight to come.
What kind of shameful thing are you going to do?
Ming Ruoxie glanced at the needle crossbow placed in a prominent position in the medicine store, stood up, put on her shoes, walked around the screen and walked out.
The emperor was dressed very thickly. He should be wearing a thick robe with cotton underneath. He was also wearing an extremely fluffy and thick-looking fox fur cloak on the outside. He was wearing a snow hat with fox fur on his neck, ears and forehead. He was protected, his hands were clasped together in his sleeve pockets, and he was holding a hand stove.
Looking at him like this, you can feel how cold it is outside.
"Your Majesty, are you going out?"
"Yes." The emperor glanced at her and called, "Eunuch Hu."
"The slave is here."
Eunuch Hu came quickly, holding a lantern in one hand and a white fox fur cloak on the other. It looked thick, fluffy and warm.
"I'll lend it to you. It's cold outside, so put it on."
The top-grade fox fur cloak, this one is extremely expensive. The top-grade fur came as tribute from other kings in the past. He didn't even give it to the queen, but now he took it out of the storehouse and borrowed it from Ming Ruoxie.
Such a cloak is thick, fluffy, extremely warm, and light. It is rare and cannot be compared with ordinary cloaks.
"Are you so stingy, Your Majesty? It's just a cloak. I'll give it as a reward, and you can only borrow it?" Ming Ruoxie was quite disdainful, "I don't want to borrow it. I'm going to bed. Please, Your Majesty."
"Are you trying to threaten me?" The emperor said??s face turned dark.
"How can this be considered a threat? If you want the horse to run away, you have to let it eat grass. It's so cold outside, there's such a heavy snowstorm, it's midnight, who knows where the emperor is taking me and what to do? I was very worried, but the emperor just lent me a cloak¡ª¡ª"
Ming Ruoxie made a show of going back, "What am I going to do? What are you trying to do? We are not biological father and daughter, and our father-in-law and daughter-in-law are not related by blood. You are the Emperor Dazhen, and I am the Princess of the Lan Kingdom. It would be hypocritical to only talk about love. ."
Eunuch Hu¡¯s mouth twitched again.
¡°Princess, hurry up, it¡¯s really cold.
The emperor almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Here it is, you don't have to pay it back, okay?" He said this through gritted teeth.
"It's just a rat fur cloak. Your Majesty, don't make it look like I have to grab it." Ming Ruoxie then took the cloak from Eunuch Hu and put it on himself.
As soon as she put it on, a warmth surrounded her. This cloak looks really extraordinary.
"What rat fur, fox fur! This is the white fox unique to the North. This kind of fox fur is much warmer than ordinary foxes -"
Ming Ruoxie waved his hand, "Okay, Your Majesty, this is actually a very cruel thing, so there is no need to explain it in such detail."
It¡¯s just because there is nothing particularly warm at this time, and there is no cold-proof clothing for her to choose, otherwise she would not choose these furs.
The emperor hesitated.
"Let's go, where are we going?" Ming Ruoxie looked at him.
"Eunuch Hu, lead the way."
The emperor took a deep breath and felt that he really couldn't talk to Ming Ruoxie anymore. If he continued to talk to her, his blood would rush to Tianling Gai.
As soon as we went out, the wind and snow rolled in, and it was so cold that it penetrated into our bones.
With this fox fur cloak, it was really warm. Looking at Eunuch Hu¡¯s trembling figure, Ming Ruoxie felt that the emperor was a bit troublesome.
The palace on a snowy night was quiet and deep.
"Walking in the palace at this time always makes people feel that they don't know when a female ghost in palace clothes may float out resentfully.
Ming Ruoxie did not bring Man Yue and Wei Lian'er with her. She knew that the emperor insisted on keeping her in the palace and went out in the middle of the night and three nights to do things. No one must know about it. The bigger the secret, the more likely it is that these people around him will be involved. People¡¯s lives at the moment. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
