When the eldest prince was about to approach Lanxiu Pavilion, the wind suddenly picked up, and a cold fragrance drifted over with the north wind.
When he looked for it carefully, he disappeared again.
Most likely the wintersweet has already bloomed.
Lanxiu Pavilion used to be a place to appreciate plum blossoms.
From the second floor of the pavilion, you can see the plum garden at your feet.
Now it has been converted into the residence of Princess Yuyao, and most of the plum trees are circled.
Princess Yuyao said the day before yesterday that she would invite him to come and enjoy the plum blossoms and drink wine when the flowers bloom.
It is said that they are drinking, but one of them is weak and the other is still young.
The wine is actually made from flower dew that has a slight aroma of wine but no alcohol smell.
It smells like wine, but in fact it tastes like sweet water and has no taste.
Smells like alcohol.
Princess Yuyao also said that it would be interesting to soak wine with plum blossoms and enjoy the snow around the stove.
Princess Yuyao had already heard the announcement that he was coming, and came to greet her at the door.
The eldest prince saw that she was only wearing a woven brocade sable waistcoat, and came out without any outer clothes.
He ignored the greetings and hurriedly said : "Go in quickly and talk."
Princess Yuyao smiled and said: "I'm not cold at all.
But, brother, you need to wear thicker clothes.
I heard that the empress had someone make a fire fox fur cloak for you.
Why didn't I see you wearing it?"
"It's not snowing, and I can't wear that."
The outer cover of the cloak is dark stone blue cloud brocade, and the piping is gold twisted silver thread.
When I was trying on the clothes, the shining silver light was like wearing a night suit.
With the star on his body, the eldest prince felt that it was a bit luxurious and not suitable for daily wear.
Secondly, it was not like he didn't have clothes on ordinary days.
He wanted to keep these new clothes and wear them again during the New Year.
Princess Yuyao has the opposite temperament to him.
If she likes a piece of clothing, she can't wait to wear it, and she also likes to wear it continuously except when changing and washing.
She thought clearly.
Anyway, she was still growing, and the clothes were ready for a season at most.
After the season, she might not be able to wear them when she grows taller next year.
If she didn't take advantage of this time to wear them, why should she wait?
It’s useless to lament that it’s past the season.
New clothes come every season, brought in box by box.
The emperor was extraordinarily generous to his daughter, always giving rewards to this and that.
Princess Yuyao still hasn't figured out how much her annual princess salary is, anyway, she doesn't live her life based on that.
"It's a coincidence that the emperor's brother is here.
The empress sent two baskets of tribute pears.
Guo Shanggong asked someone to take them and make pear soup.
Brother, please have a drink too."
Lanxiu Pavilion was originally a place for enjoying the scenery.
The original spacious pavilion was converted into a place where the princess lived daily.
Now there was a long table with a wide piece of cocoon-colored drawing paper spread out on it.
I had just made a rough draft on the paper, and what I drew was the wintersweet that was already blooming outside the open house.
She hasn't been studying painting for a long time, but this painting seems to have the structure and artistic conception, but the brushwork is still immature.
Princess Yuyao saw him looking at the painting carefully and pushed him embarrassedly: "What's so good about it?

It's just a mess."
As she said this, she took a piece of paper to cover the painting.
"The painting is good.
Once it's finished and framed, I'll hang it up."
Princess Yuyao shook her head quickly: "No."
When it was hung up, more people would see it, and it would be a big loss for such a talented person.
Besides, she usually doesn't have that much patience, so just two freehand strokes would be considered a big deal.
This time I wanted to draw the scenery outside Lanxiu Pavilion on paper for others to see.
Lin Minsheng has been gone for several days, and it has snowed again in the capital.
I don't know if he is too far away and there is no news from him.
I don't know when he will come back.
But by the time he came back, more than half a year had passed, and he didn't know if the plum blossoms were still there.
They were blooming so energetically and lively, so it was a pity that he couldn't see them.
If he painted it, he wouldn't be able to see the flowers when he came back, but at least there would still be a painting to look at.
She hadn't told anyone about this plan, and it should be expected that the emperor brother didn't know about it either.
But she didn't know why, maybe she felt a little guilty, but she always felt that the emperor's smile when he looked at her had a special meaning, as if all the thoughts in her heart could not be hidden from him.
Fortunately, pear soup came in at this time, and the painting was distracted by drinking the soup.
There was only a little rock sugar in the soup, and it tasted very strong of pear, which was different from what I usually drink.
Wang Nianqiu stood by and waited on her.
After entering the palace for so many days, she had changed a lot.
She was almost completely different from before.
If you were not careful, she would be almost unrecognizable.
She was finally no longer as thin and shriveled as before entering the palace.
She had gained some fat on her cheeks.
She was wearing a newly made palace dress and a crimson satin vest, and her face looked a little rosy against the backdrop of the clothes.
The eldest prince now had to admit that Wang Nianqiu's stay in Lanxiu Pavilion was indeed a good place for her.
There is little leisure in Lanxiu Pavilion, and Princess Yuyao is very kind to the people around her.
Wang Nianqiu has no worries about food, clothing, and work here, and there is not as much trouble and strife as elsewhere.
Princess Yuyao asked her: "Why is this soup so different from what I used to drink?"
Wang Nianqiu was a little worried: "Does it taste bad?"
The eldest prince said: "No, the pear aroma is stronger than before.
Although it is a bit bitter, the aftertaste is longer."
Seeing that there was no displeasure on his and Princess Yuyao's faces, Wang Nianqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "When I was helping to make soup in the teahouse just now, I peeled off the pear skin and core and put them in to cook.
I heard Guo Shanggong said, In the past, the skin and core were removed when cooking, and only the pear flesh was used. ” Princess Yuyao praised her: "Your method is quite coincidental."
"It's not a coincidence," Wang Nianqiu said a little embarrassed: "I used to cook it this way at home.
I couldn't bear to throw away the pear core and skin, so I peeled the pear flesh, cut it and ate it, and used the remaining core and skin for cooking.
The soup is a bit bitter, but you can drink it while it’s hot and it’s quite fragrant.”
Princess Yuyao smiled and said: "This is a good idea.
You can eat a pear once and make soup again.
It is a good and frugal way.
I think it is good to drink it like this.
I will cook it like this next time." " The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao have never lacked a bite to eat or drink, and they have never experienced such a thing as having to think of several ways to eat a pear.
The eldest prince heard something else from her words.
It was more than just a soup, he could hear her nostalgia for old things and old friends.
Maybe she was thinking of the days before entering the palace, or maybe she was thinking of people who had drank this soup.

After seeing off the eldest prince, Princess Yuyao washed her hands and continued to draw the picture.
Take advantage of these few days when there are less things to do and draw more.
When things start to increase at the end of the year and the weather will definitely get colder, there will be no time to draw
