In the winter in the capital, since the beginning of winter, the snow has never stopped.

This winter seems particularly cold, with more than one temperature colder than in previous years.

Before Xiao Zhen was ten years old, he suffered a lot of suffering. He was a little pitiful person who was ignored in the palace. Even the well-known eunuchs and palace maids lived a better and more comfortable life than him. It was normal for people not to eat enough or wear warmth to be taken seriously. The empress dowager did not like it, the emperor did not like it, and it was good for concubines not to bully him. The slaves have always been bullied by him, and he was bullied by slaves a lot.

So, before Ling Hua met him, his body was really not good, and his food, clothing and food were the worst.

Until he met Ling Hua and accidentally saved Ling Hua. In order to repay his kindness, Ling Hua knew that he was young and lacked abilities, he simply begged his grandfather Wang Jin. Wang Jin was grateful to Xiao Zhen for saving his granddaughter, used manpower, and then worked in front of His Majesty, so he left the palace and established his own mansion when he was not old. Later, he used silver. The so-called money can make the devil push the mill, and it was a lot of trouble, which made his life improve all of a sudden.

The food and clothing cost is inconspicuous on the outside, and it seems to be as bad as before, but only a few people inside know that the Eastern Palace is not as good as his, and his body bones are gradually being well maintained.

Today, the snow was very heavy, and the world was covered with silver. After Xiao Zheng's body was healed, he was not afraid of the cold or the cold because of his martial arts practice. After the morning court, he went to Changning Palace to pay his respects. He walked slowly to the palace road with a thin dress and an umbrella.

Xiao Zhen used to not pay much attention to Changning Palace. He knew that the Empress Dowager did not like him. Not only others regarded him as an invisible person, but he also had the consciousness of being an invisible person. However, since this year, the Empress Dowager somehow occasionally called him to go to Changning Palace to sit. At that time, the Empress Dowager didn't know that Ling Hua supported him.

Now the Empress Dowager knows that Ling Hua supports him, and there is a relationship between Ling Hua marrying Yan Qing. The Empress Dowager cares about him more than before. It seems that her grandmother's heart has returned. She sends people to give him some delicious food and useful things every now and then, not even the Eastern Palace, but specializes in giving him.

Xiao Ze was almost mad.

Although the Empress Dowager did not interfere with the affairs of the court, the wind direction in the harem would also vaguely affect the previous dynasty. After Xiao Zhen was suddenly valued by His Majesty, the court officials also followed the wind and began to look at him, the second prince. Now the Empress Dowager obviously favored Xiao Zhen and ignored Xiao Ze. The court officials were even more unable to sit still, and began to rush towards Xiao Zhen in secret.

No matter what the court officials were thinking or what Xiao Zhen thought, on the contrary, he would not buy anyone’s account. Whether it was during the recovery period or when he entered the court, his second prince’s mansion was not crowded. He did not receive foreign ministers, nor did he favor anyone, nor did he get along with anyone, and he would not be alone.

Therefore, in the eyes of the court officials, the Second Highness is very stable, not afraid of favor and disgrace. What he used to be and what he still looks like now? Compared with the three thousand princess guests in the East Palace over the years, the Second Highness is simply a strange stream of clear streams, with a taste of self-admiration.

The court officials were actually in a very complicated mood. Whether they were interested in seeking favors, unintentional seeking favors, or watching the wind, they all felt that the Second Highness was not easy to get close to. They were as cold as ever. Although they were not cold to death, getting close to him was no less than the snow this winter.

But there was one person who was very satisfied with Xiao Zhen's appearance, that was His Majesty.

Although Your Majesty did not praise Xiao Zheng clearly, his attitude was compared with the previous 180-degree turn. He was very gentle to Xiao Zheng's words. Even if Xiao Zheng answered His Majesty's words, he would not laugh most of the time, but His Majesty did not look annoyed. Instead, he often asked about his body, caring for him, like a real father.

Countless people originally thought that the crown prince's throne had been confirmed, but now they dare not be very sure. The Eastern Palace is obviously becoming increasingly unpopular. Both His Majesty and the Queen Mother have become a little colder in the East Palace. On the contrary, the Second Highness, who has always been unpopular, suddenly rose to the sky and was very popular.

Countless people have different thoughts about this situation, but Xiao Zhen himself is very calm. Perhaps he endured it for many years in the secret, but now he doesn't have to endure it anymore. His edges have been smoothed out. Instead, he is in a calm mood on the day of real arrival.

Originally, he didn't think that the day would come early after being valued and cared for by His Majesty. He thought that until Ling Hua pushed him to the throne, he wouldn't wait. His Majesty might not like him until his death. After all, he was not born to be favored, nor was he cared for for many years. He was not as good as Xiao Ze's reincarnation.

But who knew that this day suddenly came.

In fact, he doesn't know much about His Majesty, the Nine Five Supreme, as his father.

On heavy snow, there were no one on the palace roads. Occasionally, a palace maid and eunuch walked by and saw Xiao Zheng. He was not perfunctory or ignored him before, but now he was always treated with courtesy. He ignored him and held an umbrella and walked step by step.

When she was about to arrive at Changning Palace, Xiao Zhen suddenly stopped and asked Leng Yue, who followed him, "What did she give to the birthday gift of the romance? Is there any news?"

Leng Yue paused for a moment and nodded, "I just got the news from Jiangnan, saying that Mrs. Yan Xiaohou gave me a sword."

"What kind of sword?"

"The Qingfeng Sword, which ranks first in the Jianghu Weapons List, has disappeared for a hundred years, but is actually in the hands of Wang Jin."

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his tone suddenly felt emotional, "She is so nice to Yan Qing."

Leng Yue couldn't answer this.

Xiao Zhen shook the umbrella in his hand, shook the snow off the umbrella, making clusters of sounds. He whispered, "I'm not jealous of her good things. She hasn't given me any good things for so many years? As long as I need and as long as she has, it will be delivered to the Second Prince's Mansion. But..."

Xiao Zhen closed his eyes, "Why doesn't she like me?"

Leng Yue sighed and whispered, "The Second Highness is careful, you are about to arrive in Changning Palace, you will be careful with the walls."

Xiao Zheng pursed his lips, stood there for a moment, walked forward, and walked a few steps away, and then entered Changning Palace.

Madam Sun came out of the hall and said happily to Xiao Zhen, "Why is the second prince still here with such heavy snow?"

Xiao Zhen said calmly, "I promised my grandmother to accompany him for lunch the day before yesterday."

Madam Sun smiled, "It didn't snow the day before yesterday. Who knew that it was so heavy today? The snow this year is so heavy. Every now and then, it's like this. The second highness sent someone to inform you that it won't come. The Empress Dowager will not blame you."

Xiao Zhen's tone was as usual, "You must always do what you promised."

Madam Sun said, "How do you treat your servants so thinly? When the Empress Dowager sees you, she should feel distressed. Your injuries have just recovered, so don't fall ill after getting sick after getting cold. Your body can't help but be so troubling."

Xiao Zheng pulled the corner of his mouth, "I'm fighting the cold, don't worry, nanny."

Madam Sun walked a few steps in front of her head, pushed open the door, opened the curtain, and asked Xiao Zheng to enter.

When the empress dowager saw Xiao Zhen, she was indeed like Madam Sun. Seeing that he was wearing too little, she angrily said a few words, and scolded Leng Yue for following him, saying that Leng Yue didn't remind him to add a cloak. What should I do if it was frozen in winter? Leng Yue felt guilty and apologized.

Xiao Zhen's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, neither happy nor cold. For the Empress Dowager, he probably knew from Ling Hua that she had told the Empress Dowager to support him, so he seemed much more comfortable now than elsewhere.

The Empress Dowager's attitude towards him was, whether it was to look at Yan Qing and Ling Hua's face or whatever, it always meant that she supported him, so he naturally bought it.

After talking about gossip, the Queen Mother looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "What did you say to the prince today? The prince looked like in the morning court? The court officials all saw that something was wrong with him. Your Majesty could not see it. If Your Majesty investigated, you would also find out."

Xiao Zhen said truthfully, "I saw that he looked confident and couldn't help but tell him that the people from the Jianghu Killer Camp he sent to assassinate Ling Hua and Yan Qing, were both strangled by Ling Hua and filled the lake. He probably couldn't believe it, so he looked suspicious."

"You heard that Ai's family is not suspicious, he is in a state of dismay." The empress dowager frowned, "When will the East Palace have any contact with the killer camp in the world?"

"It should be his foster."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, "He is really..."

The empress dowager did not say the following words, but the meaning was already very obvious. The prince Xiao Zhen did it, whether it was good or bad, and it was really a waste of time to use people. The dignified prince actually raised a killer organization in the world to buy murderers.

Such a decline.

Xiao Zhen said something to Xiao Ze at this time, "He has been forced to do something urgent for the years? He can't kill Ling Hua, so he naturally does everything he can do."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment, and seemed to not know what to say. After a moment, she said to Xiao Zhen, "You should pay more attention and be careful. You can jump over the wall if you are too impatient. People can do anything if you are too impatient. Your body is so rich that you must not make any mistakes, otherwise it will not only be a good thing for yourself, but those who support you will also waste years of hard work."

"Don't worry, my grandmother, I know." Xiao Zhen nodded. He understood the kindness of the empress dowager's instructions. Even if she didn't give them, he would be very careful.
