A few days before the New Year, a heavy snow fell on the capital city, covering it in white and turning the originally bustling city into a place of tranquility.
Luckily, the court had already taken a break a few days ago, otherwise having to attend court daily in such snow, people would freeze.
At this time, Zhao Yao, his hair disheveled, was sitting on the heated bed he had made in his childhood, eating dumplings sent early by Prince Chu. The dumplings were handmade by Princess Consort Chu and were stuffed with pork and sauerkraut, Zhao Yao's favorite.
After Zhao Yao finished the dumplings, Tong Xi quickly brought a cup of tea for him to rinse his mouth.
After rinsing his mouth, Zhao Yao fell backward, sprawling on the heated bed.
Tong Xi brought some fruit. These fruits were brought from Lingnan.
