Chapter 151 Becoming a Godparent
A few plum blossoms stand alone in the corner, blooming in the cold.
"Miss, Miss, the plum blossoms over there are blooming beautifully today."
Baizhi ran in from outside holding a red plum blossom. There were a few snowflakes on her clothes and her cheeks were red from the cold.
She brushed off the snow on her body, stamped her feet, and then walked quickly to Qin Wan's side, her face full of excitement, "Miss, look."
Qin Wan lowered her eyes and looked at the red plum blossom in front of her. "It's blooming beautifully this year. Let's put it in a vase and keep it for a few days."
"Yes, ma'am."
Baizhi responded, holding Hongmei and went to find a vase that matched her and put the red plum in it.
After a while, she placed the vase with red plum blossoms on a table.
"Miss, look, is it okay to put it here?"
Qin Wan nodded slightly. Because of that touch of red, the originally cold room instantly became more lively.
"good."
"Is the snow still falling so heavily outside?"
After placing the vase, Bai Zhi walked towards her and said, "Yes, it's still raining. If it weren't for the palace maids sweeping the road, the road would be completely blocked."
"It's been snowing for more than half a month."
As she spoke, Qin Wan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the snowflakes falling outside.
Bai Zhi followed and looked at the snow outside with her, "It seems there is, but isn't it like this here? It snows for a long time once it starts. It was just intermittent before, but this year it has been continuous."
Just as Qin Wan and his servant were looking at the wind and snow outside, they heard light footsteps behind them.
"Wanwan, why are you standing here? It's cold out, don't catch a cold."
Hearing his voice, Bai Zhi immediately turned around and bowed respectfully to Qi Yan'an, "Your Majesty."
"Step back first."
"Yes."
When Qin Wan turned around, she found that Qi Yan'an had appeared behind her at some point, and even the servants in the room had disappeared. Now, there were only the two of them left in the room.
Qi Yanan slowly walked forward and held her hand, his tone gentle, "Your hands are so cold, have you been standing there for a long time?"
"No, I just watched it for a while."
"Let's go in, it's windy outside."
Qi Yan'an said this, holding Qin Wan's hand and walking towards the inner room.
After the two sat down, Qi Yan'an held Qin Wan's hands tightly in his, trying to warm her up.
"Wanwan, I came here today because I have something to tell you."
Meeting his tender gaze, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. "I wonder what Yan An wants to tell me?"
"Wanwan has been back for a while now, and I think she's adjusted to life. I'm thinking of having Wanwan become a godparent to General Wei. As General Wei's goddaughter, she can marry me and become my queen on a chosen date. What do you think?"
Sure enough, what is supposed to come will always come.
He also found a godly marriage for her. After all, he knew that as the daughter of a criminal, she was not worthy of being a queen.
It's really hard for him to go through so much trouble.
Qin Wan lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly, thinking about countermeasures.
In Qi Yan'an's eyes, this scene showed that she was a little shy.
Just as Qin Wan was about to say that she was not familiar with General Wei's family and wanted to spend some time with them before discussing it, a flurry of footsteps was heard outside.
After a while, the eunuch beside Qi Yan'an ran in and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, it's not good."
Looking at the person who interrupted him, Qi Yan'an frowned unhappily, "Why are you so flustered?"
The eunuch raised his head and glanced at Qin Wan and Qi Yan'an, then stood up and approached Qi Yan'an, whispering in his ear, "Your Majesty, I just received news that many places have been hit by snowstorms due to the heavy snow in recent days, and many people have died."
After saying this, the eunuch retreated to one side, lowered his head, and waited for his instructions.
Looking at the man next to her whose expression turned serious after hearing the eunuch's words, Qin Wan pulled her hand away from him.
At this moment, Qi Yan'an finally reacted. He turned to look at her, "Wanwan, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Wan interrupted him with a gentle look on her face, "Yan An, go and deal with it."
Qi Yan'an looked at Qin Wan deeply for a moment, "Wan Wan, let's discuss this after I finish this matter."
Qin Wan smiled and nodded gently, "Okay."
Looking at Qi Yan'an's departing back, Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Yan'an never told her anything about the court, as if he treated her like a canary he kept.
Looking at his expression just now, I think something serious happened, but I don’t know what made him so panicked.
Just as she was thinking, Bai Zhi walked in front of her, "What are you thinking about, Miss?"
"nothing."
An hour later, the sky began to turn dusky, and it was time for dinner.
Bai Zhi came to Qin Wan and asked softly, "Miss, do you want to serve the meal now?"
"Waiting."
Usually, Qi Yanan would have dinner here, and chat for a few minutes before going back.
And it hasn't come yet today.
Qin Wan looked at the sky outside and thought to herself what a big deal this was.
"Yes."
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Qin Wan did not wait for Qi Yan'an, but waited for a eunuch beside Qi Yan'an.
"Miss Shang, His Majesty has sent me to inform you that he is busy tonight and will not be coming to dine. Please enjoy your meal first and do not wait for him."
Qin Wan nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."
After the eunuch left, Qin Wan looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Have someone serve the meal."
"Yes, ma'am."
After a while, dinner was served one by one.
After the dishes were laid out one by one, the palace maids who came to serve the dishes retreated in an orderly manner.
The palace maid walking at the end took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, approached Qin Wan with an unchanged expression, and quickly stuffed a ball of paper into her hand.
Feeling the ball of paper in her hand, Qin Wan calmly held it in her palm.
Qin Wan knew the palace maid in front of her. She was one of the people planted by An Guo.
Shortly after she came here, some of the people An Guo had planted in the palace had contact with her.
It was also at that time that she realized that An Guo had planted so many people here.
She also guessed that among the people An Guo had planted in the palace, there were probably a few who had already climbed to a high position.
After all, many secrets of this palace were learned from them.
After finishing her dinner pretending to have no appetite, Qin Wan walked into the dormitory holding the paper ball in her hand.
After waving everyone away, she unfolded the ball of paper in her hand and saw that it was written on it.
Heavy snow caused a disaster, and he summoned ministers overnight to discuss countermeasures.
Looking at the content above, Qin Wan thought to himself that it was no wonder.
No wonder he was so panicked. It seemed that the disaster caused by this heavy snow was not small.
But it is true that the heavy snow has been falling for several days without interruption, and it has indeed caused a snow disaster.
After understanding why Qi Yan'an was so panicked just now, Qin Wan took the note and walked to the candle and burned it.
The candlelight danced in her eyes, and the flames devoured the note, turning it into ashes.
After seeing it completely reduced to ashes, Qin Wan lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
Sitting at the dressing table, Qin Wan, with her hair tied up, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the white mist that filled the air. "Bai Zhi, let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi, who was standing behind her inserting the last hairpin into her hairpin, stopped and said, "Miss, it's still snowing outside."
"I'll be back soon."
"Yes."
Before leaving, Bai Zhi put a cloak on her and said, "Miss, don't be cold."
Qin Wan tightened her cloak around herself and said, "Well, let's go out."
Outside the palace, the palace maids were still sweeping the snow. When they saw Qin Wan coming out, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
He didn't stand up and continue doing his own thing until Qin Wan's figure disappeared.
After walking out of Wangyue Palace, Qin Wan and Bai Zhi walked aimlessly.
When they reached a place, Qin Wan stopped and looked at the red plum blossoms there in a daze.
At this time, two palace maids carrying things came over from the other side, and naturally did not notice Qin Wan standing at the corner.
"The Empress Dowager has summoned Miss Su to the palace at 3:00 PM tomorrow. We must prepare Miss Su's favorite chestnut cake. There can be no mistakes."
"Miss Su? The Queen Mother really likes Miss Su and sees her several times a month."
"After all, Miss Su always manages to make the Queen Mother happy every time she comes."
"That's true, but I heard that Miss Su..."
Following the sound that was gradually fading away, Qin Wan came out from the dense bamboo.
Miss Su, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Qin Wan glanced at the two palace maids walking away, and suddenly an idea popped up in her mind: if Qi Yan'an didn't mention making her the queen in a few years, he might even be forced to make someone else the queen.
"Baizhi, let's go back."
"Yes, ma'am."
