The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chapter 149 Princess Rui Visits

It was snowing in Shengjing City.

Snowflakes fluttered down from the gray sky, like light feathers or dancing white butterflies.

The entire Shengjing was covered with a thick layer of white snow, turning it into a world clad in silver.

On the streets, the snow was already above the pedestrians' ankles.

People walked carefully, leaving behind a series of deep and shallow footprints.

Thick layers of snow piled on the roofs of shops on the street, like they were wearing white hats.

The red lanterns hanging at the door of the shop appear particularly bright against the backdrop of white snow, exuding a touch of warmth.

The glazed tiles of the imperial palace were also covered with snow, and the golden roof was faintly visible in the white snow, making it look even more solemn and majestic.

The mountains outside the city also turned white, and the rolling peaks looked like a huge jade dragon winding across the earth.

The trees on the mountain are covered in silver, and some branches are creaking under the weight of the snow, as if telling the story of winter.

The water in the moat had frozen, and a thin layer of snow covered the ice.

This snow turned Shengjing City into a peaceful and beautiful picture.

Xu Ke woke up and found that the window frames were brighter than usual.

I lifted the soft quilt and was about to put on my shoes to take a look.

Dingdang came in holding a hand warmer, her little face slightly flushed with excitement.

"Miss, it snowed last night! I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up.

This morning, the snow piled up and the whole view was covered in white. It was so beautiful.”

When Xu Keke heard this, she instantly became interested and urged Dingdang to help her put on her shoes.

"Hurry up, Miss, I'm going to go see the snow scene. Where are Anxiang and the others?"

Dingdang handed her the hand warmer and took out a pair of deerskin boots and put them aside.

"Miss, you have to wear these boots today to avoid getting your shoes wet. Anxiang and the others got up early and went to build a snowman!"

When Xu Keke heard this, she instantly became interested and urged Dingdang to help her wash up.

The maids brought hot water and helped the princess rinse her mouth and wash her face.

After getting pregnant, Xu Ke could no longer smell the scent of rouge and powder.

Yaju helped her apply a layer of moisturizer and then walked out.

Dingdang is responsible for what clothes to wear every day.

Maybe because he is more familiar with Dingdang, Xu Ke is not shy in front of her.

Dingdang took off the lady's pajamas and first changed Xu Ke into a moon-white undershirt, which was soft and close-fitting.

Next is a light pink padded jacket with exquisite floral and bird patterns embroidered on it, with fine stitching and lifelike patterns.

Then there was a pomegranate red pleated skirt with layers of folds, which made her look like a blooming flower when she walked.

Dingdang took out a light pink belt and gently tied it around Xu Keke's waist.

She then hung a crystal clear jade pendant on it. As she moved, the jade pendant swayed slightly, making crisp sounds.

She was covered with a crimson brocade cloak with snow-white fox fur trimmed at the collar and cuffs.

Xu Keke couldn't help but rub her cheek against the soft touch.

"It's still snowing, miss, please wear a hat to keep out the moisture!"

"it is good."

Xu Ke nodded in agreement.

Dingdang brought out a small mink hat and carefully put it on Xu Keke's head.

A circle of white fluff hung down from the brim of the hat, making her little face look even more delicate.

She wore a pair of ruby earrings on her ears, which looked even more dazzling against the white fluff.

Xu Keke's hands must not be frozen either.

She put on a pair of silk gloves embroidered with orchids and held a small hand warmer.

He looked fully armed and unafraid of wind and snow.

After getting dressed, Xu Ke couldn't wait to step out of the room to enjoy the beautiful snow scenery.

The trees in the garden seemed to be covered with white cloaks, and some branches were bent by the weight of snow.

Occasionally a gust of wind blows, the branches tremble slightly, and snowflakes fall to the ground.

Xu Keke's deerskin boots were non-slip, but even so, Dingdang still held her carefully.

The two walked along the path deeper into the garden and could hear the maids' cheerful laughter from afar.

When I got closer, I saw Anxiang and the others were busy having fun.

A snowman with a rudimentary shape has already stood in the snow.

Some of the maids were rolling snowballs, preparing to make a big belly for the snowman;

Some were collecting branches and stones, intending to make facial features and arms for the snowman.

Xu Ke walked forward with a smile.

"You guys really know how to have fun."

When Anxiang and the maids saw the princess coming, they all bowed.

Xu Ke waved his hand.

"Don't be so restrained, just keep playing."

As she said this, she walked aside and watched them continue to build a snowman.

With everyone's concerted efforts, a vivid snowman appeared before our eyes.

The nose was made of carrot, the eyes were made of stones, the arms were made of branches, and a colorful cloth strip was wrapped around it as a scarf.

Xu Keke looked at the snowman and smiled so much that his eyes curved into crescents.

At this time, another gust of wind blew, lifting up a handful of snowflakes, which fell on their hair and shoulders. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

Everyone was having fun when a maid from the front yard hurried over and bowed to Xu Ke.

"Princess, Princess Rui is here to visit. She is currently in the front hall's reception room. Nanny Wang is entertaining her. Please ask this servant to invite Princess over."

Xu Keke had been standing there for a while and was looking for a place to sit down.

Upon hearing this, he quickly agreed.

"Got it. I'll be there right away."

The maids who were playing around hurriedly followed and surrounded Xu Ke as they walked towards the front hall.

You may enter the reception room after being allowed to do so.

Princess Rui was seen wearing a lake blue dress, sitting elegantly.

Behind him stood a nanny and a little maid.

Seeing Xu Ke was allowed to come in, Princess Rui stood up and saluted with a smile.

"Please don't be offended by my coming to bother you today, Princess Sheng."

Xu Keke hurried forward to help Princess Rui up and spoke kindly.

"Princess Rui, you're so polite. I'm so happy that my sister can come! How could I be offended?"

The two exchanged greetings and sat down, and the maids quickly served them hot tea and snacks.

Princess Rui took a sip of tea.

"I heard that you haven't been feeling well lately, so I wanted to come and see you."

Xu Ke smiled and nodded.

"Sister, you are so thoughtful. I am fine. I just didn't accept your invitation because I am pregnant. Please don't misunderstand me."

Xu Ke could tell the truth. After all, the fetus in her belly was more than three months old and she couldn't hide it any longer.

After being stunned for a moment, Princess Rui smiled again and again.

"That's the reason. Congratulations, sister. Congratulations to the Regent. This is truly a great event. I just found out about it and haven't prepared a suitable gift yet..."

Xu Keke held her hand and said with a smile.

"Sister, there's no need to be so reserved. The fact that you can come visit me is the best gift."

Princess Rui gently patted Xu Keke's hand.

"Sister, you are so thoughtful, but I absolutely cannot do without this gift. By the way, are you feeling unwell right now? Is the food to your liking?"

Xu Keke shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. Apart from occasional drowsiness, I don't feel particularly unwell, and my diet is fine too."

Princess Rui nodded.

"That's good. This is my sister's first child, so she has to be extra careful on a daily basis."

"Don't worry, sister. Everyone in the mansion is taking good care of you."
