The Eastern Palace, the Royal Capital, West Capital City—

Autuh West Capital City was located in the Central Plains, this year's first snow came so early that it was out of everyone's expectation

The snow had fallen the night before, but it was not heavy It lay thinly on the ground, the roof, and the trees And when the cold wind bleisps of fine snow drifted in the air with so them feel cool and comfortable

Of course, those who felt comfortable were the ones who had no worries about food and clothing, and those who failed to have enough food and clothing hoped that it would never snow

With a vast area and an important role in the Royal Capital, the Eastern Palace boasted various architecture and gardens Standing at a high elevation frouely see the corner eaves, pavilions, ponds, and rock gardens inside, but it could only be seen frohness, you sent for irl in a pink dress, stood in front of the Southmoon Hall in the Eastern Palace and looked at the thin snow The youngand watery eyes

Besides, he had figured all of that out a few years ago and, so to speak, his mind became settled like still water
