As the cold plum blossoms bloomed, some wind and snow floated.

When Chu Yan walked into the hall, a little snow had fallen on his shoulders, as if he was afraid of entering the room and asking the concubine to get cold. He even trembled his body before stepping inside.

"Empress." Chu Yan leaned over and bowed, "You call me a slave?"

"It's not that you don't need to worry, but you're cold red." Gu Yansi held the stove in her arms. Looking at Chu Yan who looked like this, she felt very distressed. She waved to Chu Yan, stuffed the stove in her hand into his hands, and smiled with a squinted smile: "I'm going to feel distressed if this face is frozen."

"Yes, I'm sorry for your sins." Chu Yan carefully hugged the stove, as if he could still feel the temperature of Gu Yansi on the stove.

"The plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming. Let's go to enjoy the plum blossoms tomorrow." Gu Yansi narrowed her eyes and smiled, as if she had found a playful heart. She supported her chin and said with her eyes wide open: "I don't know if the snow is heavy tonight, so don't crush the plum blossoms in my palace."

Just because of her words, Chu Yan stayed asleep all night and went to the gate of Yimei Garden.

When Xi Shiliu came over wrapped in a cotton jacket, he saw Chu Yan standing under the moon. He lowered his head and shouted, and ran forward and said, "Brother Chu, there must be heavy snow falling tonight. How can the plums in this garden be protected?"

Chu Yan pursed his lips and said, "Call up all the idle people in Silijian, and put up the worn thin quilt to block the snow for the red plums."

Xi Shiliu immediately took a breath of air conditioning when he heard this. This was not a brisk job, I was afraid I had to spend the whole night trying to get here.

Xi Shiliu was a little confused. He frowned and looked at Chu Yan and said, "Brother Chu, although the Imperial Concubine said that she would like to appreciate the plum blossoms tomorrow, she didn't say that she must come to see it. It's not necessary for you to cover the red plum blossoms with such a lot of effort, right?"

"The Imperial Concubine won't blame you for this, so don't bother..." Xi Shiliu persuaded.

"No." Chu Yan refused almost without any hesitation. His eyes firmly and gentlely looked at the plum blossoms all over the garden and said softly: "What the Empress loves is what I want to protect with all my strength."

"If the Empress wants to appreciate the plum blossoms, she must appreciate the best one."

“…”

Xi Shiliu's expression was slightly shocked. Looking at Chu Yan with such a demeanor, he wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he turned around and prepared without saying anything.

Chu Yan has become more and more connected in the palace over the years, and with Xi Shiliu helping him, he summoned many people in a short while, carrying thin quilts to support them to cover the plum blossoms with the coming wind and snow.

Maybe only they know how heavy the snow was that night.

The next day, the warm sun was snowy white, the beautiful red plum blossoms in the plum garden were so amazing.

"So beautiful." Gu Yansi wrapped herself in a big red coat, looked at the red plums all over the garden and smiled. Chu Yan, who stood beside her with her head down, looked gentle in her eyes, and the fatigue between her eyebrows seemed to disappear under her blooming smile.

If she can make her smile, it is all about him.

Chu Yan followed Gu Jingsi with all his steps. Xi Shiliu, who was shrunk behind the garden, looked at this scene as if he had seen everything at this moment, and sighed in a complicated expression.

Under the red plum, Gu Yansi looked up at the red plum on the branches, turned her head and looked at Chu Yan with a smile and said, "Chu Yan, is it good to break a plum for this palace?"

Chu Yan stepped forward, lowered his eyes and said softly and responded: "I wish to serve the Empress."
