The last half month soon arrived. Chu Xingchen was busy and only came back once every few days.
That day, Su Yingxue completed the assessment and got the results. It was not mediocre, just barely excellent, but not excellent either.
The teacher assigned her a lot of new lessons to study again.
On the sixth day, there was a day of rest. Although Su Yingxue could not leave the villa outside the capital, she could rest with the four palace maids and Taxue.
Today is the Winter Solstice, and the snow is falling like willow catkins in the wind, transforming the entire courtyard into a world of silver. Last night's snow had fallen all night, leaving a thick layer. The sky is a dim gray, dense clouds roll across the sky, and pure snow drifts down in a cascade.
"Your Highness, the snowman you built is so ugly," Chunfeng covered his mouth and laughed.
"Yes, other people's snowmen have the same stones for eyes, but yours looks like one is big and the other is small, which is not good-looking." Xia He said with a smile. Now that they were familiar with each other, Xia He did not distinguish between master and servant. She also teased Su Yingxue with a smile.
"That's right. Other people's eyes are both equally round, but yours are one round stone and the other square stone. It's really ugly!" Qiu Shuang has always been serious, but at this moment, she unexpectedly became naughty.
"How about this?" Only Dongxue took two black jade beads from the house.
She reached out and took the two stones off, then placed the black jade on the snowman's face. Dongxue smiled back, her smile simple and natural. She said, "This way, Your Highness, doesn't it look much better?"
"It does look good, but, Your Highness, if Dongxue takes out the chess pieces you are playing against, won't the number of pieces match?" Taxue was wearing a black guard uniform, which was both cool and beautiful, and very nice to look at.
"That's fine," Chu Xingchen had walked out from behind the crowd without him noticing. He held a sandalwood box in his hand and stood not far away, looking at the snowman. After a long pause, he said, "Xingchen thinks that if Sister wants new chess sets, she can get a few more sets."
The four maidens, somewhat resentful of Chu Xingchen's imprisonment of Su Yingxue, could not offer a kind look to him. Only Taxue, with a sullen expression and her arms folded, looked coldly at Chu Xingchen.
She always looks cold and aloof, perhaps because she has been a secret guard for too long. She is both cool and beautiful, but cold as ice. Only towards Su Yingxue, she will be a little gentle.
"No need, I don't really like playing chess." Su Yingxue sighed lightly. She looked at the snowman with the replaced chess pieces, and it looked much better.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen said softly, "I didn't expect that you actually like to make snowmen."
"I like it, so what?" Su Yingxue said calmly, "I don't like it, so what?"
"After all, there's no way out of this courtyard."
"Building a snowman is just a way to pass the time."
"What's the point? Like it or not?"
Su Yingxue said lightly.
"Since sister likes it," Chu Xingchen reached out and grabbed her red hand that was frozen by the snow, handed her a hot water bottle and warmed it for her.
The hand was so cold that it felt like ice, and Chu Xing felt uncomfortable.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen grabbed her hand and accompanied her into the inner courtyard.
"Sister ordered a roasted whole lamb today, set up an iron stove, and prepared a lot of seasonings. Why didn't she send someone to inform my brother?"
Chu Xingchen pulled her into the inner courtyard corridor. There was a shed in the middle of the courtyard. Two chefs were preparing roasted lamb under the shed. The seasonings made by Dongxue were placed aside, carefully packed in small porcelain bottles and neatly arranged on the wooden table.
The handle of the whole lamb stove was turning in the hands of a chef, and the golden lamb was sizzling hot.
"Even if you don't call me brother, he will be here soon." Su Yingxue looked at Chu Xingchen and forced out a rare gentle smile.
She knew that Chu Xingchen could not hide anything that happened in the villa. She also knew that roasted whole lamb was a specialty of Da Qi. Chu Xingchen was a true Qi person, so how could he not want to taste the taste of home-cooked food?
She had Dongxue research this roasted whole lamb so she could develop more delicious ingredients and recipes. Since she had transmigrated into the book, she had received many favors from Chu Xingchen.
She also wanted to do something for him.
Chu Xingchen was naturally happy when he saw Su Yingxue smiling at him so gently, which was rare.
"If sister likes it, then brother will like it." Chu Xingchen naturally held her hand and put a white fox fur on her.
The inner courtyard was covered with drifting white snow, and in the shed was a steaming whole roasted lamb. The four palace maids and Taxue gathered around the stove to help arrange the dishes, cut the meat and add the seasonings. Dongxue made her an authentic goat milk stewed tea.
Su Yingxue woke up this morning and wanted to drink milk tea. She remembered that in modern times, one can use black tea or green tea, add milk and sugar to make milk tea.
So she roughly explained the recipe to Dongxue, who wanted to make milk tea for her today. She had been searching for fresh goat milk for a long time, so she used it as a substitute.
Under the tent was thick smoke with the aroma of grease and barbecue, and under the lanterns were busy figures. Su Yingxue and Chu Xingchen sat side by side under the eaves. She looked at the crowds of people in front of her, and her heart was filled with unprecedented joy and anticipation.
The night deepened, as if someone had accidentally spilled ink. The thick black came over like an overwhelming force, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in silence.
The night is as dark as ink, and the stars are as bright as pearls. It seems that someone has sewn one pearl after another in the night to embroider this dark night.
"Sister, the starry sky is so beautiful." Chu Xingchen looked up at the boundless starry sky above his head. The starry sky was silent and vast. In the moonless night, the bright stars dotted someone's eyes.
Chu Xingchen lowered his head and saw the person beside him who looked like Yue. She was wearing a white fox fur coat, a very plain dress and headdress, a few sparkling oriental pearls, and her face was plain and elegant, yet still absolutely beautiful.
"Sister," he looked at her tenderly, thinking of his past lives and present lives, all the past events. He really had never seen the starry sky with her, nor had he appreciated the moon and stars with her.
"Chu Xingchen," Su Yingxue turned around after hearing the voice and said to the man in front of her who only cared about her, "You also think that the stars are extremely beautiful, right?"
"You are like the stars in the sky, unique."
"One day, you will shine so brightly that everyone will see your radiance."
You will also meet the pure and flawless Su Liyue, the kind and beautiful Su Liyue, your destined heroine, your destined girl, your Emperor and Empress of Qisheng.
I will return you to her and set your marriage right, Su Yingxue thought to herself.
But Chu Xingchen had no idea what the person in front of him was thinking. He only knew that his sister liked stars and liked to appreciate the stars. It was really nice to appreciate the stars with his sister.
