The earth shed its black clothes and changed into a light yellow gauze. On the other side of the mountain, the sun was about to jump out of the horizon. A breeze blew through the snow-covered forest. Rare birds that were not afraid of the cold chirped non-stop. Crystal icicles hung on the eaves, looking beautiful.
Phoenix Palace was located in the east corner. Although it occupied a large area, it seemed that very few people walked around here.
Yue Yinshuang slowly opened her watery eyes, but what greeted her eyes was not the familiar bed curtain. She sat up in a panic, and the cold wind immediately invaded her body. She could not help but shiver.
"Jinxiu, Ruyi?" She frowned and called out uncertainly.
"Yes." Jin Xiu pushed open the door and walked in. Ruyi was holding a basin in her hand.
She looked up and saw them, and her heart calmed down. She had an unusually good sleep last night and slept until dawn. Her hand gently caressed the spot beside her. Was it cold? She thought,'He probably left and never came back.'
Was this considered staying alone in an empty room? She was shocked by her own thoughts, but then comforted herself not to care.
'I wish to have a person's heart, and my white head will never be separated.'She murmured. Although she knew that this was an extravagant wish, she still had a glimmer of hope.
"Come and help me change. I want to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.”She said to the two people standing outside the screen, then lifted the bed curtain, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked to the dressing table to sit down.
"Which dress will the Empress wear today?”Ruyi asked as she handed her a wet towel.
"Hongmei." She took the wet towel and wiped it on her face before handing it back to Ruyi.
Jin Xiu stood beside her and carefully selected a headdress for her. Ruyi was busy picking clothes in the wardrobe.
Three thousand strands of black hair were tied up with a hairband, with a silver-plated tourmaline flower hairpin on her head, two pearls in her ears, and two strands of black hair hanging in front of her chest. She picked up the eyebrow pencil and carefully drew her eyebrows. She slightly opened her red lips and applied rouge. She picked up a special brush and drew a flame-like makeup between her eyebrows.
She put down her paintbrush and looked at the red makeup on her forehead. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.
He wore two silver bracelets on one wrist and a white jade bracelet on the other.
She stood up from the chair and walked to the screen. She raised her arm and stretched out her hand, waiting for them to dress her.
Her clothes were made of cloth dyed with the sap of various flowers in season. They were bright in color and emitted a strong fragrance.‘As the name suggests, this gown was dyed with red plum blossoms. The edge of the gown was sewn with gold thread, and the lower skirt was embroidered with a red plum blossom. The gown fluttered like a red plum blossom that bloomed proudly in winter. A large bowknot was tied around his waist with a soft silk smoke net.
"Are you sure this will do?" Jin Xiu didn't agree with such a simple dress.
"Yes, that's fine." Silver Frost looked at himself in the mirror and showed a very satisfied expression.
She liked to dress like this. Heavy makeup did not suit her.
The three of them had just stepped out of the house when she stopped in front of them.
"What happened to the Empress?" Jin Xiu looked at her doubtfully.
"..." She stared at the two empty spaces covered in thin snow and frowned.
On both sides of the road to the Phoenix Palace, there were two large open spaces. Although they were already covered in snow, looking at this white and flat open space, she suspected that there was something else other than grass. If she had to look at such an empty place every day, she would go crazy.
Her watery eyes moved, and images kept changing in her mind. A bold idea formed in her heart.
Thus, they continued walking forward.
The Empress Dowager's residence was located to the west of the Phoenix Palace, so she had to walk a long corridor to reach it.
They reported their intentions at the door, and a maidservant hurriedly went in to report. After a while, she came out and told them that they could go in.
She placed her hands on her lower abdomen and raised her head slightly. With a faint smile on her face, she followed the maidservant in.
In the main hall sat a woman. She was wearing a yellow and black palace dress. Her white hair was combed into a bun at the back, and she was wearing all kinds of noble headdress. She sat upright with her hands crossed on her knees and a kind smile on her lips.
"Daughter-in-law pays her respects to mother." Yin Shuang bent down and bowed. She was not speaking out of politeness, which was the same as in the palace. She was here as a daughter-in-law to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. This was what her mother had specially told her the night before her wedding.
She didn't know if the Empress Dowager would like it, but she still followed her mother's wishes and said it. She didn't dare to raise her head after she finished speaking. She secretly observed the Empress Dowager's reaction from the corner of her eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped, and there was no sound around her. Her palms were sweating, and she began to regret what she had said.
