Chapter 54: Fifty-four Flower Picks

Fu Yuan didn't expect Zhao Jinyan to really listen to the Queen Mother's words, so she stopped and waited for her.

Her footsteps involuntarily followed Zhao Jinyan's footsteps, and she couldn't help but stop and raised her head to look at Zhao Jinyan.

Zhao Jinyan's expression on his face was still the same as before, although he didn't smile, but he didn't look cold, and his gaze was even a little soft, even encouraging, looking at Fleur, as if he was really waiting for Fleur to come over. Under Zhao Jinyan's gaze, Fu Hui faded a little uncomfortable, obediently followed Empress Dowager Wen's words, and walked to Zhao Jinyan's side.

Fleur is still growing her body now, her body is a little thin, standing on Zhao Jinyan's side, her height is only as high as Zhao Jinyan's chest, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, it is clearly a figure that is not so matched, but at this time, looking at it from a distance, it is an unexpected harmony.

The smile on Empress Dowager Wen's face deepened, and she watched the two walk out of the gate of Cihua Palace from afar, until she couldn't see the figure, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Xia Yuelang, who was sitting beside her, who was bowing her head and munching on pastries, and sighed softly: "Look at those two children, match more." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xia Yuelang raised his head for some reason, his eyes revealing doubts and inquiries.

When Empress Dowager Wen saw it, she didn't explain, but laughed heartily, couldn't help but reach out and touch Xia Yuelang's head, and said softly: "Our Yuelang is not young now, it's time to think about marriage, it's time to find someone to take care of you!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xia Yuelang didn't speak this time, but he was really speechless.

After Fu Hui followed Zhao Jinyan out of Cihua Palace, until the gaze on her side was gone, she subconsciously began to slow down again.

It's just that I don't know if it's her delusion, after her pace slowed down, Zhao Jinyan, who was walking in front of her, seemed to have begun to slow down a little......

Fu Yuan didn't think much about it, but subconsciously slowed down her pace, and even deliberately stopped, just waiting for Zhao Jinyan to be one step behind to keep up again. After all, it was just in the Empress Dowager Wen's palace to deal with the Empress Dowager Wen, and now that there is no Empress Dowager Wen staring, Fu Hui still knows the measure. No matter how you look at her identity, she is not qualified to walk parallel to the emperor now.

Who knows, after Fleur's footsteps just stopped, Zhao Jinyan in front of him actually stopped, Fleur raised his head to look at the other party's figure, and at this time, the other party suddenly turned around and looked at Fleur, his eyes seemed to be a little questioning and concerning, he asked softly: "What happened?" Why didn't my cousin leave? ”

Fu Rui didn't expect Zhao Jinyan to ask her this question, she thought about it for a while, but she told the truth without thinking: "Fu Rui always feels that it doesn't seem to be very proper to go with you, Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Jinyan suddenly laughed when he heard this explanation, he walked a few steps towards Furui, walked to Furui, and hugged her in a direction with his footsteps, and then said softly: "There is no difference between monarchs and ministers now, I am just your cousin, the imperial grandmother asked me to take good care of my cousin, I naturally have to be a good master." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Fleur has been to the palace many times and knows the way. ”

Listening to Zhao Jinyan's close words, Fu Yuan did not feel flattered by Zhao Jinyan's special care, and still replied mentally.

When Zhao Jinyan heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "Since it is the order of the emperor's grandmother, I naturally can't disobey yin and yang. ”

After saying this, Zhao Jinyan did not leave immediately, but looked at Fu Rui, and said again: "Speaking of which, I have to thank my cousin for relieving the siege, otherwise I am afraid that I will still listen to the lessons of the imperial grandmother at this time." ”

"Uh...... The emperor laughed. ”

Fu Hui listened to Zhao Jinyan's slightly playful words and deliberately wanted to relax, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face.

"Speaking of thanks, Furao has not thanked the emperor for your life-saving grace to his brother."

Fu Hui said, but seriously stood up straight, and then bent down and made a big salute to Zhao Jinyan, Zhao Jinyan immediately went up to stop him, he slightly dragged Fu Yuan's wrist fingers, and did not let Fu Yuan finish this ceremony, but said softly: "Cousin is really so polite, so polite, but it seems too rusty." ”

"It's not polite, it's just that I've repeatedly troubled the emperor, Fu Hui is uneasy in her heart, and she doesn't know how to repay her, so she can only thank you here." Fu Hui couldn't perform the full salute, and her hand was grabbed by Zhao Jinyan, and she was in a dilemma.

And Zhao Jinyan's smile was extraordinarily gentle, from beginning to end, he was so gentle and understanding.

"My cousin is really polite, we are a family, I remember that my cousin called me to be my third cousin, why don't I call it now." Speaking of this, Zhao Jinyan seemed to be a little interested, and urged: "Why don't my cousins still call me a third cousin at this time." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Where would Furao expect that Zhao Jinyan would still be so interested today, as soon as she called him the emperor, Zhao Jinyan's brows couldn't help frowning, and only looked at Furao and said softly: "Cousin is wrong." ”

Fleur was helpless, so she had to open her mouth and call her third cousin softly.

Zhao Jinyan nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "Speaking of which, today's incident is really thanks to my cousin's relief, no matter how much I thank my cousin." If there is anything about my cousin, you will never be polite in the future, and you will definitely tell me. ”

"The third cousin still wants to say that I am polite, today's matter, for Furao, is just a gesture, but the third cousin is thanking him three times, it is clear that the third cousin is too polite."

Fu Rui looked at Zhao Jinyan's gaze at this time, with a little difference.

Speaking of which, she has always had very little contact with Zhao Jinyan, that is, Zhao Jinyan used to like to follow behind Zhao Jinyuan, and Zhao Jinyuan liked to stay with Fu Yuan, but he didn't let the two have much contact. At that time, Fu Hui always felt that Zhao Jinyan was an indifferent weirdo. She didn't expect at that time that one day, Zhao Jinyuan was gone, and her contact with Zhao Jinyan would increase.

And Zhao Jinyan's impression in her heart has completely changed from a strange person who is indifferent to people. It seems that the other party is not half of what she imagined before, on the contrary, Zhao Jinyan treats people very sincerely.

Thinking like this in her heart, she couldn't help but say: "I used to think that the third cousin was a little indifferent, but now that I have contacted, I feel that the third cousin is a very good person." ”

When Zhao Jinyan heard this, he was not surprised on his face, in fact, there was nothing wrong with what Fu Yuan said, his character was actually a little indifferent. The reason why Furao is so kind today, in addition to Furao relieving her today, of course, what Wei Lin said to him today and Zhao Jinyuan's affection before also accounted for the majority.

Wei Lin didn't say much, but he said a few words in private as if he was joking: "If the emperor sees the county lord of Nanyi, he must not be as indifferent as before, and make people fearful for no reason." Since you want to take good care of the county lord of Nanyi, you should be closer to others, so that people will not dare to approach you. ”

Zhao Jinyan carefully reflected on himself and found that although Wei Lin's jokes were a little more false and serious on weekdays, today's words did make some sense.

Fleur was really polite to her.

Like before, I asked him to help his family, but I am afraid that he is also in a hurry, if she is really desperate, she probably will not think of asking him for help.

Because of this, Zhao Jinyan's attitude towards Hibiscus has changed a lot today, and he didn't expect to have such a big gain. And Fleur's attitude towards him is indeed unconsciously a lot closer.

Furao was bold enough to respond to what he said, Zhao Jinyan only smiled and nodded, but continued to Furao with a smile: "Speaking of Yue Lang's affairs, Furao yourself is indispensable, if you hadn't entered the palace to find me immediately, I'm afraid that it would take me a lot of effort to rescue Yue Lang." ”

"Fleur didn't do anything because she was worried about her brother, but she was the emperor...... Third cousin, this time, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of effort......"

Fu Yuan will not be naΓ―ve to think that the current emperor's cousin will be the same as the emperor's uncle at the beginning, it is easy to save Xia Yuelang, that is, they are all emperors, but after all, the emperor's uncle has been an emperor for decades, and his monarchy is very heavy, and Zhao Jinyan is just a dying orphan, so he was driven to the throne and sat on the throne. If it was something that the emperor's uncle could do with a single word, Zhao Jin Yanzi was afraid that he would not be able to give an order directly, but would have to rely on other methods to achieve his goal.

That's how Zhao Jinyan was able to do so much for her this time, and Fu Rui was so moved in her heart.

"Actually, I just gave the order, from tracking down the people behind the scenes to clearing Yue Lang's name, in fact, it is all Wei Lin's credit. Zhao Jinyan still didn't dare to take credit, and spoke humbly.

However, when Fu Yuan heard Zhao Jinyan mention Wei Lin, the look on her face was only a little strange. She didn't want to see Wei Lin at all, and when she thought of what she had been teased before, her heart was on fire. If she wanted to talk about gratitude, she couldn't even think of it.

Fleur had to be embarrassed to change the topic, but she didn't have to bother with her brains here, and soon, Fleur and Zhao Jinyan walked to Merlin.

The plum forest that the Queen Mother said bloomed early, and when Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan approached from afar, they felt it. There is really a large area of plum blossoms that are blooming, leisurely, exuding a burst of fragrance.

Although others think that Fleur's favorite word should be lotus, Fleur is not so picky, she likes any kind of flower.

Just like now, the plum blossoms are beautiful, and she looks just as happy when she looks at them.

As soon as Fleur walked into Merlin, a wave of joy rose in her heart.

"Although I knew that the plum blossoms here bloomed early in previous years, I didn't expect that this year's plum blossoms would bloom so early. The weather is not too cold yet, and such a patch has already bloomed. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Jinyan was still there, Fu Yuan would almost have run into the merlin excitedly.

And Zhao Jinyan looked at this piece of winter beauty, and his mood was also very cheerful, he stood outside Merlin and watched for a while, smelling the fragrance between his noses, and a smile appeared on his face.

He whispered to Fleur: "I see that there is some dew and wetness inside, and my cousin must be careful when he goes in." ”

"Thank you, cousin."

Fu Yuan nodded, and couldn't wait to walk in with Zhao Jinyan.

Standing outside the plum forest and smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms, I already feel very wonderful, I don't want to walk into the plum forest, and being in this plum sea is a different kind of experience. It happened that the weather was also very good, the sun shone through the plum blossom bushes, reflecting on people's bodies, very comfortable, warm and not too hot. Fluff could even imagine how comfortable it would be to be able to put a table under this plum grove, with a few plates of snacks and tea.

Of course, at this time, this kind of thinking is impossible, and Fu Hui did not forget the responsibility of coming over today, and after enjoying this beautiful scenery for a while, she smiled at Zhao Jinyan: "Third cousin, let's go back by picking plum blossoms quickly, otherwise my grandmother will be in a hurry." ”

Zhao Jinyan listened to Fu Yuan's words and nodded.

He looked at the plum blossoms for a while, and walked towards the one that was closer to him and was blooming brightly. Zhao Jinyan just wanted to reach out to pick it, but Hibiscus suddenly reached out and stopped him. Zhao Jinyan looked at Fu Hui with some puzzlement, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Fleur was a little embarrassed, but she still said seriously: "Cousin, because this plum blossom is to be picked and kept in a vase, and the picking is too beautiful, but it is not very good, I am afraid that if I don't wait until tomorrow, the flower will be grateful." The best thing is to pick this kind of flower bones, which can be raised in the water for a few days. ”

Although the Queen Mother Palace will definitely not care about these peach blossoms, the peach blossoms will wither, and they will be replaced when the time comes. But if this peach blossom is picked by Zhao Jinyan himself, it is different, the Queen Mother will definitely raise it for a few days, if it is only picked for a day and all of them are defeated, it will be too disappointing.

Zhao Jinyan was not sluggish, he immediately understood what Fu Hui meant, he was not a stubborn person, although Fu Hui pointed out his mistake when he said this, but he still smiled and whispered to Fu Yuan: "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I really didn't notice this, if you go back to the plum blossom house, thank you immediately, it's really not good." ”

Zhao Jinyan immediately let go of the plum blossom he originally wanted to pluck and turned his gaze to the other plum blossoms.

Fluffie saw it, but immediately empathetic reached out to grow on the side of a half-grown flower bones, the other side is a slightly budding plum blossom in her hand, she wanted to reach out and fold off, but this plum blossom grows too well, the branches are a little hard, Fleur worked hard for a while, and did not pick this plum blossom down the way. She was about to turn her head and call the palace man to hand over the scissors, when suddenly a hand was placed on the plum blossom, and it was easy to fold the plum blossom.

Fu Hui followed the hand and looked at the owner of this hand, which was Zhao Jinyan.

Zhao Jinyan broke off the plum blossom and handed it to the palace man standing behind him, then looked at Fu Rui and said softly: "Cousin, why don't we two divide labor and cooperate?" ”

"Huh?" Fu Hui was stunned for a moment, but Zhao Jinyan smiled and said softly: "Cousin, you are responsible for seeing which lotus flower to choose, and I am responsible for picking it, so that I can go back and say that it was picked by the two of us." ”

"......" Fleur didn't speak, but nodded with a smile.

She was obviously very much in favor of the idea.

Indeed, Zhao Jinyan doesn't know how to choose flowers, and she doesn't have enough strength to fold flowers, so she can indeed kill two birds with one stone.

And the division of labor between the two is good, and the match is also very harmonious. Almost as soon as Fu Hui pointed to the plum blossom, there was no need for special explanation, Zhao Jinyan immediately picked the plum blossom, and after a while, the two of them were full of harvest, at least the hands of the two palace people behind Zhao Jinyan were full of plum blossoms.

However, Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan were both a little unsatisfied, and they only felt that they had only picked for a while, if it weren't for Yang Qingyi's sudden appearance, the posture of the two would almost have folded back the plum blossoms that are suitable for bottling in this plum forest today.

When Yang Qingyi appeared, Fu Hui was pointing to a plum blossom growing on the top of the plum tree and shouted at Zhao Jinyan: "Third cousin, up and up...... That's right, this one is the best, and it will look good when you take it back and insert it into the bottle. ”

This plum tree is not old, and it is not particularly tall, but it is taller than a person. It did take some effort for Zhao Jinyan to win this one.

When he reached out to probe, it was still a few points away, but that one was indeed a good one, and he picked a lot of it under the command of Hibiscus, so naturally he also had the ability to identify and appreciate it at this time, and knew that this one was indeed the most beautiful of all the plum blossoms he had picked before.

Zhao Jinyan still had some care for his image in the end, and he didn't immediately roll up his sleeves and climb the plum tree to pick it, but it was a hibiscus, maybe he was really excited to pick it, and he saw that Zhao Jinyan's hand was enough, but he didn't take it off, and he was a little anxious and commanded Zhao Jinyan: "The third cousin is still a little bit close, you can take it off if you jump and reach the branch until it is pressed down!" ”

Jump......

The palace people standing behind Zhao Jinyan couldn't help but bow their heads, this Nanyi County Lord should really be bold, he dared to let the emperor jump up and pick plum blossoms!

And Yang Qingyi, who came over in the distance, was even more ugly on her face, looking at the scene in front of her, she only felt that her whole person was stimulated. It is said that Zhao Jinyan likes her, but every time he sees her, he is always polite and very distant, where is it like he and Fu Yuan get along now.

Yang Qingyi clenched her teeth, trying to restrain her feelings, and she was even more jealous in her heart, she had a feeling as if something that belonged to her had been invaded by others, and he couldn't reveal this kind of affection. After all, she is the eldest lady of the Yang family, and she has always been gentle and graceful, and if others find out about her affection, it will obviously destroy her image.

But looking at Fu Rui shouting orders at Zhao Jinyan, she was really a little unbearable.

It's ...... It's just too much!

The Fu Yuan here hadn't realized that he was commanding Zhao Jinyan just now, as if he was ordering Zhao Jinyan to do something. Of course, Zhao Jinyan didn't feel it, but he took a step back, thinking about the feasibility of building a hibiscus at that plum blossom.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he really felt that this building was indeed very feasible, so he really didn't care about the image, jumped up directly, pressed the plum blossom branch with one hand, and broke off the plum blossom.

Zhao Jinyan suddenly jumped up, and the whole process made the people present have no time to react, and the attendants below reacted and exclaimed, and Zhao Jinyan had already broken the plum blossoms. And Fleur was so happy that she almost jumped up.

She trotted to Zhao Jinyan, and when she wanted to go over to see this plum blossom, Zhao Jinyan was obviously in a very good mood, and wanted to share this harvest and joy with her collaborators, so she only smiled and handed the plum blossom to Furui.

Fu Hui took it with a smile, put it under her nose and sniffed it lightly, and was about to look up at Zhao Jinyan and speak with a smile, when suddenly at this time, Yang Qingyi came over, with a smile on her face, she saluted Zhao Jinyan, and only called in her mouth: "Your Majesty!" ”

And Yang Qingyi's sudden appearance also completely ruined the atmosphere of Fang Cai.

Fu Hui showed a little embarrassment on her face, and Zhao Jinyan was obviously a little embarrassed, at this moment, the two of them obviously remembered Fang Cai's derailment, and looked at Yang Qingyi's eyes, both of them were a little uncomfortable.

In addition to being uncomfortable, of course, Fu Hui didn't have anything else, but took a step back to avoid suspicion, but Zhao Jinyan's face was a little inexplicable. To be honest, there was still a bit of anger.

However, he controlled it very well, and Yang Qingyi and Fu Hui didn't find out.

After Yang Qingyi saluted, although he did not walk towards Zhao Jinyan, his footsteps stopped at a place on Zhao Jinyan's side, and Fu Hui took the initiative to avoid it, but opened up with Zhao Jinyan.

Looking at it from a distance, the scene of Fang Cai has changed a lot in an instant, and it seems that now it seems that Fu Hui is the third person inserted in it, and Zhao Jinyan and Yang Qingyi are the most harmonious pair.

Fleur is not good at anything, but there is one thing that is the best, she knows how to read people's eyes very well.

Yang Qingyi looked at her with a little defensiveness, although she thought softly, but Fu Hui could feel the rejection.

And Zhao Jinyan didn't say anything, his expression was cold, but Fu Wei knew the past, so he naturally knew Zhao Jinyan's feelings for Yang Qingyi. Her heart moved, and she handed the plum blossoms in her hand to the palace people behind her, and only smiled and whispered: "Miss Yang also came to see the plum blossoms, the plum blossoms have been picked a lot, then I'll go back first!" ”

Saying that, Fleur really had the intention of leaving like this.

In fact, Fu Yuan didn't want to leave at all, she actually didn't like Yang Qingyi, and she didn't want Yang Qingyi to be the queen. There are many reasons why she doesn't like Yang Qingyi, there are two princes, and there are other things, but Fu Yuan knows that she can't do anything. After all, Zhao Jinyan likes her.
