Chapter 138: In the Snow

For some reason, it snowed earlier in Chang'an City in recent years than in previous years. Wang Yi sat on a chair and looked at the snowflakes passing by outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Wang Yi just got up in the morning, he walked out of his room. The heavy snow outside had already covered the ground in the yard. The white snow was so beautiful.

Wang Yi stretched out a hand, and snowflakes fell on his palm. Wang Yi blew gently, and the snowflakes melted in his palm. It was very, very cool.

A month has passed since Mr. Liu Qian's last visit. During this period, Li Wenxuan's Princess Taiping Mansion has completed all the preparations and is waiting for the groundbreaking in the spring of next year.

Wang Yi has seen Li Yuan's busy schedule these days. Although it was his Majesty who took the initiative to stop this matter, Wang Yi knew the reason behind it.

Li Yuan hasn't come to Ziwu Lane much recently. The reason is that his aunt, the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty, has missed Li Yuan recently. After all, when Li Yuan was just born, Princess Yan was weak and Li Yuan had nothing to eat. It was this person who

The aunt took the initiative to come to the house with her sister who had just given birth to a baby, so that Li Yuan would not go hungry. None of the royal nurses could make the Queen Mother feel at ease.

Wang Yi glanced at Liu Shuyi, who was copying books with Wang Si there. The little guy had changed a lot from being reluctant at first to coming to Ziwu Lane early every day.

Wang Yi found a rocking chair, lay back, and rested his hands on the chair casually.

It has been a year since I came to Chang'an City, and I have grown from a commoner to a returning prince, from a scholar who can only write with a pen to a powerful man with real destiny.

Is there a lot to gain? Of course it is a lot. At least you know who the enemy is and have a target for revenge. But what about the loss?

Wu Qi died, Wu Yong broke up with him, and Lao Li, Su Yun, and Ye Yao didn't know where they were going.

The old man I haven’t seen for a long time. The four senior brothers have not seen each other for a long time.

Sometimes when Wang Yi is alone, he will secretly think about what kind of person he is and why the people around him are more or less unstable and become separated from him in time.

I can see a beggar in ragged clothes on the street, buy a few buns and put them in his bowl sympathetically, and I can also show no restraint to those who are doing robbing business on the road and let them do what they want.

Is it good to be like this?

Later, Wang Yi smiled and felt relieved. This is how he is a normal person.

Just like Wang Si back then, the little guy can go to other people's homes to steal things to fill his stomach, and he can also squat on damaged roads, move blocks of earth that are much higher than himself, and build roads, although this will make her

It was too late to return to the city, but the little guy did it anyway.

Wang Yi turned around and looked at Wang Si who had finished copying the book. Wang Yi's eyes were full of tenderness and he nodded to Wang Si. Wang Si had a big smile on his face.

, jumped off the chair, abandoned Liu Shuyi who was doing his homework slowly, took his own small stool, came to Wang Yi's side, and sat down.

On Wang Si, a red cotton coat was very conspicuous. The little girl strongly asked Qin Keqing to make it for her, because Wang Si himself said that red represents happiness. When he was a child, those big houses were about to celebrate the New Year, and there were all kinds of clothes on their doors.

It's a red lantern, it's pretty.

Wang Si sat next to Wang Yi, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, putting his hands on his chin, quietly in a daze.

Wang Yi said softly: "What's wrong? Are you homesick?"

Wang Si shook his head. How could he have a family? He only had his master, sister Qin, that hateful Ma Shun, and Li Yuan who always brought him chicken legs.

"No, Master, I'm just a little bored."

Wang Yi didn't care that Wang Si didn't call him husband, but master, "Is copying books boring?"

Wang Si thought for a while, "No, I just miss my little sister a little bit. I don't know if she is doing well."

Wang Yi gently rubbed Wang Si's little head, "Don't worry, I'll ask Jin Yiwei to check it out in a few days."

Wang Si did not agree, but rejected Wang Yi's proposal, "No, Master, I'm just thinking about it."

Wang Yi sighed slightly and stopped talking. Wang Si was afraid of causing trouble for himself.

Wang Yi looked at Wang Si with two pigtails flying, "How could such a good little girl be my apprentice?"

Wang Si smiled and said, "Why does such a handsome gentleman happen to be my master?"

Liu Shuyi, who was still close to completing today's task in the distance, almost vomited after listening to the conversation between Wang Yi and Wang Si. This pair of masters and disciples are really shameless.

Just as Wang Yi was about to say a few words to Wang Si, Li Yuan kicked open the door of the room, and he couldn't help but shudder as his shoulders were white.

"It's really freezing to death, my prince, it's too cold."

Li Yuan walked in, went straight to the stove, and put the food box in his hand aside, "Wang Si, there are chicken legs from the imperial kitchen inside. Go and eat it yourself. I'm going to freeze to death."

When Wang Si heard that there were chicken legs to eat, he glanced at Wang Yi. After the latter nodded, he hurried to Li Yuan and opened the food box. The aroma of the chicken legs inside filled the whole room.

After finishing his homework, Liu Shuyi drooled when he looked at the chicken legs, and looked at Wang Si eagerly. Wang Si only saw the chicken legs and did not see Liu Shuyi at all.

When Li Yuan saw this, he laughed and said, "Xiao Liuzi, go and eat. I brought a lot."

Liu Shuyi glanced at Wang Si quietly, quickly took a chicken leg with his little hand, squatted aside, with his back to Wang Si, and started eating.

Li Yuan sat down on Wang Si's stool, patted his clothes and cleaned up the snowflakes.

"Why, the Queen Mother asked you to come in again today?"

The palace?"

Li Yuan felt that the small stool was uncomfortable, so he stood up, took a rocking chair, found a blanket, and covered himself.

"Yes, it's a matter of the Princess Mansion again. My aunt was dissatisfied with the sketch submitted by the Ministry of Works a few days ago, so today the Minister of Works, me, and an old man from the Zongfu were all called over.

I studied the sketch for a day."

"Is Wen Xuan okay?"

Li Yuan chuckled, knowing that Wang Si would ask about Li Wenxuan's situation, "It's very good. Now my sisters-in-law respect her very much. His Highness the Crown Prince who just came to Chang'an City from Luoyang a few days ago even specially gave her a gift

The imperial sister has an unique copy of Da Qin that she has treasured for many years."

Wang Yi nodded slightly. After learning about Li Wenxuan, he felt relieved and stopped overthinking.

Li Yuan put his hand to his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot breath. Even after entering the house, his hand was still cold. All this was because he was holding the food box with chicken legs, but Li Yuan did not tell anyone about it.

Go through these.

"Several big things will happen in the next few days. You'd better be prepared."

Wang Yi frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"whats the matter?"

Li Yuan lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious, "In a few days, my cousin's birthday will come. At that time, my three nephews will come to Chang'an City to present gifts to their father."

Wang Yi crossed his hands on his abdomen. This is human nature and understandable, but it is not a big deal.

As if seeing Wang Yi's doubts, Li Yuan explained: "My cousin is fifty years old this year, and his health is getting worse day by day."

Li Yuan didn't say what happened next. What would be the result of his deteriorating health day by day? He was about to die. So who to hand over this huge country to is the most important question.

So this time is both a birthday celebration and an opportunity to express yourself, which is the key to whether you can inherit the throne.

"For this birthday celebration, the other four vassal princes are not allowed to enter the capital, so my father will go to Beidaying for a few days and will not come back until after his birthday."

Wang Yi nodded, and it was reasonable. Under the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, no vassal king could leave the fiefdom without the emperor's will, or go to the capital, whether it was Luoyang or Chang'an.

"One more thing." Li Yuan slapped his thigh, "The location of the Princess Mansion has been decided. My imperial sister said that Ziwu Lane was chosen. So by the beginning of spring, half of the area around Ziwu Lane should be cleared.

, build the princess mansion.”

Wang Yi looked at Li Yuan in disbelief. Li Yuan smiled and nodded again. This is true.

Wang Yi raised the corners of his mouth and was in a good mood. Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Wang Yi had never thought that the snow scene was so beautiful.
