In the fifteenth year of Shunjing, the fifth day of the first month. On this day, the sun was exceptionally good, and the earth began to have the breath of spring.

Duan Yingyu brought a marriage post and a car of New Year's gifts, and was personally accompanied by Qiulu's father-in-law to go to the general's mansion to pay New Year's greetings and propose marriage.

Duan Yingyu helped the gold leaf cherry blossom with emerald crown on his head, feeling very awkward. Obviously, it is not yet a weak crown, but in order to make her son look more stable and mature, Fengyi found such a "nondescript" hair crown from somewhere. I want him to wear it, saying that it can echo his golden moon jade longevity lock!

Then take a look at a new set of clothes on the body, a navy blue Shu brocade robe, and a dark gold silk robe; Fortunately, Feng Yi hadn't forgotten that the spring was cold outside, and she added a sable to him.

"Father-in-law, look at it, my mother made me 'bells and whistles', it's comparable to colored paper for wrapping gifts!" Duan Yingyu complained to Qiu Lu.

"Where? The prince is too exaggerated! In order to show your stability, the mother deliberately chose dark clothes, and the slave didn't feel fancy at all. "Qiu Lu naturally won't say that the master is bad.

"It's just a kiss, as if this king is going to worship today!" Duan Yingyu snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, my good prince, bear with me first! We'll be in the Immortal Mansion soon. "Qiu Lu has been calming the little master's emotions all the way, and he won't dare to show General Xian's face later!

While the master and servant were talking, the carriage came to a halt abruptly. fell to Yingyu, but fortunately was protected by Qiu Lu: "What's going on outside?" ”

"It's okay, a passer-by accidentally slipped in front of our carriage, and the slave stopped his horse for fear of hitting him." The coachman replied.

After that, the carriage continued to drive for another quarter of an hour, and they finally reached the gate of the General's Palace. There were already people waiting to greet them.

"Immortal Yuanhong, welcome His Royal Highness King Xian! My father has been waiting for tea in the inner hall, and the prince is here. Xianyuanhong led King Xian and his party into the mansion.

Duan Yingyu went to the living room and handed over the gift and the marriage invitation to Xian Moyan, and exchanged pleasantries with the father and son of the immortal family. Xian Moyan understands that King Xian is young, and he may not feel comfortable sitting with an old man like him. He was allowed to go to the back and see the pomegranate.

Duan Yingyu can be regarded as relieved, facing the two famous generals and elders of Xian Moyan and Xian Yuanhong, he is really nervous. He bowed politely and followed Cherry to the inner garden.

On the way to the inner garden, Qiu Lu also mysteriously stuffed Duan Yingyu with a brocade box, only saying that it was ordered by the queen mother to let him give it to Miss Xianjia with his own hands. Yingyu secretly opened it to see, it was just a delicately styled forehead ornament, what was so strange? Disapprehantly, he took the box into his arms.

Cherry was leading in front of him, Qiu Lu was not far behind, and Duan Yingyu was sandwiched between himself and walked slowly and leisurely.

Cherry thought they were walking slowly, so she ran back and pulled Yingyu away: "Hurry up, don't tell my sister to wait!" ”

"Oh? Is your sister in a hurry to see this king? After listening to Cherry's words, Yingyu felt refreshed.

Cherry looked at Yingyu's nose and was about to turn to the sky, and poured a basin of cold water with a wicked smile: "No! I was afraid that the prince would be late, and when my sister got angry, the prince couldn't resist it! ”

Yingyu's face collapsed instantly, and he couldn't help but shudder when he recalled Pomegranate's "unreasonable" nature. His target is a hot "Chaotian Pepper", and ordinary people really can't afford to provoke him!

But who is he? He is the youngest prince of the Great Han Dynasty! He's no ordinary man! Unconvinced, he raised his chin at the cherry: "Let's go, this king will let you see, who can't resist?" ”

The two children ran on their feet, and lost Qiu Lu in a blink of an eye. It wasn't until they turned into a winding verandah that they slowly stopped.

"Does the prince like his sister?" Cherry's sudden question almost made Yingyu choke on her own saliva.

"Ahem...... What do you say? How could this king, this king, like her?! A suspicious flush crept up his handsome face.

"Since you don't like your sister, why don't you choose cherries? Am I bad? Cherry asked as she tugged at Yingyu's sleeve and tilted her head with an innocent expression.

Duan Yingyu was so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her sleeves and waved her hand indiscriminately: "I regard you as a sister, how can I have other ideas?" Cherry, don't be kidding! ”

"Oh! So, you still have 'other thoughts' about my sister, don't you? "The cherry man is a big ghost, and he is deliberately testing the king.

"No, no, no, no! Why do you keep misinterpreting me? Yingyu said with a headache.

"If you don't like your sister, you hate her! Why would you want to marry someone you hate? Cherry smiled slyly, and suddenly hugged Yingyu's arm: "Brother Xianwang, Cherry likes you!" Why don't I exchange it with my sister? ”

"I—I didn't say I hated your sister!" Yingyu was so frightened by Cherry's abnormality that he couldn't speak, and he begged for mercy while pushing Cherry to lock his lotus arm: "Sister Cherry, you ...... Do you let go of your hands? You...... Don't scare me! ”

"No! If you don't tell the truth, I won't let go! Cherry shook her head like a rattle.

"Honestly, honestly?" He didn't understand.

"Do you like pomegranates or not?" Before King Xian opened his mouth to answer, Cherry approached his ear and "threatened": "If the prince doesn't tell the truth again, I will tell my sister and father, you are teasing me!" ”

"Cherry? You ......" Yingyu looked at the cherry as if she were a stranger. He always thought that Cherry was a gentle, shy, well-behaved and pure little girl, but he didn't expect to make it "bad", not inferior to pomegranate!

Alas! blame him for being too simple, how can he forget that these two sisters are connected by blood and temperament?

"Happy, like ......" Duan Yingyu's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and Cherry shook her head dissatisfied: "Be louder!" ”

"I like it!" Duan Yingyu is out of the way, no matter what, he has to deal with this "little devil" first.

The answer was loud enough that the pomegranate, which had been hiding nearby, could hear it very well. She blushed, rushed out from under the porch, and pointed at Duan Yingyu and scolded: "You, what did you just say?!" Don't be ashamed! ”

Cherry's task was successfully completed, she patted King Xian's shoulder like a little adult, winked at him and said, "Sister Sister has already pierced the window paper for you, and then it's up to you, sister, husband!" ”

The word "brother-in-law" is like a hammer, and Duan Yingyu is stunned! He just watched the back of his "little sister-in-law" jump away......

"Look at it, everyone is gone, still watch?" The pomegranate stood with his arms around him, and said awkwardly: "If you haven't seen enough, you can catch up and continue to watch!" ”

Duan Yingyu came back to her senses at this time, her face suddenly burned like fire, and her mouth was stiff: "Who rarely looks at her!" I'll look at you, look at you, okay? After saying that, he immediately regretted it! Raising her eyes and glancing at the pomegranate opposite, she saw that the girl's face was three points more delicate than the red plum in the yard.

At this moment, in the silent verandah, it seems that the throbbing heartbeats of young boys and girls can be heard.

A cold wind blew, and both of them shivered.

"Ahem......" Pomegranate rubbed her arms and broke the awkward silence: "It's so cold here, let's go talk in the warm pavilion." ”

Duan Yingyu noticed that she was wearing a silver-red lotus soft satin dress today, and only a thin cloud silk cloak was draped outside. It's pretty, but it's cold.

He hurriedly took off his big hat and put it on Pomegranate: "Don't you girls know how to take care of your body for the sake of beauty?" ”

Duan Yingjin's tone was still awkward, but her behavior was touching, and Pomegranate blossomed happily in her heart.

The warm pavilion is as warm as spring, and as soon as you enter the house, you feel comfortable all over. Cherry sat on the kang and had been waiting for a long time while eating melon seeds.

"You two are really good, I'd rather stand under the porch and blow the cold wind than come over sooner!" Cherry dropped a handful of melon seed skins and poured two cups of hot tea with shredded ginger to ward off the cold for the two.

"Sakura and cherry are also there......" Duan Yingjin is still a little stunned when she sees this little girl now.

"Alas, don't think the cherry is 'in the way', although you and my sister are considered fiancées, you still need to avoid suspicion before the big gift. So...... Until you get married, every time you meet, I have to follow. I'm sorry! Cherry grinned, revealing a neat row of white teeth.

"Eat yours!" Pomegranate stuffed a red date into her sister's mouth, and said angrily: "You are indispensable everywhere!" Everyone said that the little sister of the fairy family was the most well-behaved and soft, but they didn't know that she was a cunning "little fox" inside.

Cherry shook her head, fed a sweet date to the pomegranate, and pushed the fruit plate to Duan Yingyu: "Brother-in-law, you eat it too!" ”

"Poof-" Yingyu instantly squirted out the ginger tea she had just drunk into her mouth, causing the two sisters to roll on the kang with laughter.

"Ahem...... Yingyu finally relieved, he took out the brocade box and handed it to Pomegranate: "Send you, Happy New Year." ”

Cherry rushed to open the box for the pomegranate, and inside was a triple pendant made of red agate strung with red gold beads, which was of precious material and exquisite style.

"Huh! How did the prince know that his sister liked red agate? And it's also a forehead ornament! Do you know that my sister has a scar on her forehead? "They were mischievous when they were young, and they used to climb trees. Once a pomegranate accidentally fell and scratched the corner of its forehead, leaving a shallow mark from then on.

Pomegranate was silent for a moment, gently brushed off her bangs, and a thin pink scar loomed on the corner of her forehead: "Will you dislike me?" ”

Duan Yingyu was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "I sent you this because I dislike you!" Actually, I didn't know that you had a wound on your forehead, I just ...... Just think it's with you...... It goes well together. As a sign of sincerity, he even put on her forehead ornament himself.

Cherry watched the two of them look at each other with a little affection, and thought about teasing them. She pretended to be apprehensive and complained: "Your Highness is really partial, only congratulating my sister on her New Year's birthday, but not greeting my sister?" Hum! ”

"Happy New Year, Sister Cherry!" Yingyu made up for the New Year's greetings.

"What about gifts?" Cherry pouted and held out her little hand.

"Your gift is on the carriage, and it is estimated that it has been moved to your storehouse." Yingyu arched her hand: "Later, please trouble my sister to pick it herself." ”

"Oh, it turns out that only my sister is special!" Cherry teased "mercilessly".

Duan Yingyu scratched her hair embarrassedly. It didn't matter if he scratched his head, he just touched the crown that didn't fit well. The crown of the head was crooked to the ear, and the look was both embarrassing and funny, and it made the two sisters laugh. The warm pavilion was full of young people's laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became very special and harmonious......
