"Princess, do you have to put all these things into storage?" As she pondered, Qiu Yue's voice broke her thoughts.

Shen Lanxin handed the sachet to Qiu Yue, glanced at the pile of things on the case, and said lightly: "Let's register and enter the warehouse first." ”

"Step on the snow and go out for a walk with me." Turning around, Shen Lanxin went out.

The sun is scorching, the breeze is warm, the trees in the palace are gently swaying with the breeze, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air.

In the summer, the lilies, dahlias, and crape myrtles in the palace are all blooming, which can be said to be full of flowers, especially the lotus and dahlias are the most gorgeous.

Shen Lanxin came to the courtyard, he didn't find it when he moved in yesterday, but today he saw that the flowers in the yard were blooming, and the fragrance was refreshing.

Lan Xin picked a few and held them in the palm of his hand and smelled them.

Standing behind him, Taxue said with a smile: "Princess, this is just the tip of the iceberg, you can go to the hundred gardens to see, there are hundreds of kinds of flowers there, and the flowers are much more beautiful than here." ”

Lan Xin's eyes lit up, "It's better than here, isn't that a big garden?" ”

Treadon Xue covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a big garden, if the princess wants to go, the slave will accompany you." ”

Shen Lanxin smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

She handed over the flowers in her hand to Qiuyue, and told her to insert them into a vase to serve her, and then went to the Hundred Gardens with Taxue.

Under the leadership of stepping on the snow, the two walked in the direction of Baihuayuan, and after walking for a while, the aroma became stronger and stronger.

Taxue pointed to the distance in front and said, "Princess, there is a hundred gardens in front." ”

Lan Xin smiled: "Yes! No wonder the aroma is getting stronger. ”

Taxue said with a smile: "The princess doesn't know, the hundred gardens have the fragrance of flowers all year round, even the withered dried flowers in winter exude a faint fragrance, in addition to Fengyi Palace, Qifang Palace, Zhihua Palace belongs to our Tongxiang Palace is the closest to the hundred gardens, it can be seen that the mother is really attentive to the princess." ”

After listening to Taxue's words, yes, the queen mother was really good to her, just in the morning, she rewarded those silk satins, jewelry, and those valuable things to the Tongxiang Hall one by one, and she knew that the queen mother was really attentive, but Shen Lanxin was not very interested in these things, and it was more important for her to find her biological father and mother than anything else.

Shen Lanxin smiled faintly.

At this time of year, the dahlia of the hundred gardens blooms the most brilliantly, and this year's dahlias bloom half a month earlier than in previous years.

The strong smell of lilacs, Shen Lan's heart is in a hundred gardens, just like being in a sea of flowers, there is also a fish pond in the garden, which contains thousands of koi fish.

Lan Xin stared at those koi fish in a daze, "It's the first time I've seen so many koi fish, it's just spectacular and beautiful." With that, he sat down on a nearby stone and watched the goldfish.

Seeing Shen Lan's happy appearance, Taxue couldn't help but laugh, she stepped forward and said, "Princess, these goldfish live here all year round, and they like to smell the fragrance the most, if you sprinkle some petals on them, they will come over." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he looked at the snow and said incredulously: "Really? It's so magical, then you go get me some lilac petals, and I'll bring them over." ”

Taxue smiled: "The slave maid will go now." ”

At this time, Jiang Yuan was on his way to Fengyi Palace, and just happened to pass by here, he saw a woman sitting next to the fish pond.

She sat on the stone, wearing a purple light gauze dress on the ground, her hair swaying gently with the breeze, as bright as the spring flower, as bright as the autumn moon, looking down at the fish in the pond, as if in contemplation and appreciation.

This woman Jiang Yuan had never seen before, and he walked through the porch with great interest.

Shen Lanxin was originally staring at the koi swimming around, and seemed to hear a steady footstep and turned his head to look over.

I saw a young man standing there, wearing a silver brocade robe, wearing a golden crown, with a long and jade body, sharp edges and corners, and extremely handsome facial features, looking at her with great interest.

Jiang Yuan stopped, and the moment he looked at Shen Lanxin, a touch of vigilance appeared in Shen Lanxin's eyes, and it flashed.

She also looked him up and down, and said lightly, "Who are you?" ”

Jiang Yuan didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard, Shen Lanxin raised his voice and asked again, Jiang Yuan seemed to wake up like a dream.

Slightly puzzled: "You don't know me?" ”

No one in Dongyang knows who doesn't know, and what woman doesn't know him, Jiang Yuan, the son of Jiang Guogong, is the most beautiful man in Dongyang, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is two points inferior to him, but the woman in front of him doesn't know herself, which is really strange.

When he asked this, as if he had to know him, a trace of disdain suddenly flashed in Shen Lanxin's eyes: "Isn't it strange that I don't know you?" ”

After speaking, Shen Lanxin withdrew his gaze and looked at the fish in the pool.

Jiang Yuan has always been surrounded by a group of beautiful women everywhere she goes, flattering him and pleasing him in a delicate voice, no girl actually talks to him like this, cold, this feeling is really bad.

Lan Xin didn't pay attention to him, but still looked at its fish, but at this time he found that he was not interested, so he got up and bypassed him, just happened to meet the snow treading back with lilac petals.

"Let's go, go see the Queen Mother."

Treading the snow stood there in confusion, looking still in high spirits just now, why didn't you look at it again? Seeing that the princess was far away, he hurriedly chased after her.

Jiang Yuan originally wanted to chat with this girl, but he touched his nose and looked at Shen Lanxin's back, he felt ignored for the first time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As soon as Shen Lanxin passed through the corner of the corridor, he saw a peach blossom jade face, with a slender waist, a jewel and jade on her head that sparkled in the refraction of the sun, and a vermilion flower skirt, a woman who was incredibly beautiful.

In this way, even a woman can't help but stare at a beauty a few times when she sees it, and at this moment, she is slapping a maid again and again.

The woman rose up and said viciously: "I can't tell you to bring a cup of tea, your clean clothes are wet like this, what's the use of you alive, see if I don't kill you." ”

The maid was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and endured it all her life, not daring to resist at all.

Lan Xin couldn't help frowning, such behavior was really incompatible with her appearance, and her flying and domineering gestures were vividly displayed.

At this time, Jiang Yuan was just about to cross the corridor and come to the corner, when he heard a stern stop, so he stopped hurriedly and hid around the corner to watch......

"Stop." Shen Lanxin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Leng Buding was grabbed like this, the woman was obviously startled, looked at Shen Lanxin in front of her, and said sharply: "Bold!" ”

The woman looked at Shen Lanxin, who had a beautiful face and a cold temperament in front of her, and felt very strange, so she frowned and said, "Who are you?"

Shen Lanxin selectively ignored her question, but directly asked her straight to the point: "What mistake did she make?" You're going to hit her like this? ”

The woman said sharply: "Who are you?" Do you have any control over who I hit? ”

Shen Lanxin frowned slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that if you continue to fight like this, you will die." ”

"How dare you talk to me like that, do you know who I am?" Her appearance is condescending, and her words are very arrogant.

At this time, the maidservant fox beside her shouted threateningly: "She is Princess Yuanjing." ”

It turned out to be Princess Yuanjing, and the crown prince Li Yuanshi briefly described the situation of the palaces in the palace to her before she stayed in the Tongxiang Palace.

Princess Yuanjing's biological mother is Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi is deeply favored by the emperor and loves the house and Wu, so Princess Yuanjing will be arrogant and domineering, and she can't imagine that her palace maid will become unpopular with her master being favored.

Treading Xue was not to be outdone, and reprimanded the palace maid, "Be bold, you are allowed to be presumptuous in front of Princess Yuanxin." ”

When the palace maid heard that it was the queen's daughter, she hurriedly stepped back.

And Princess Yuanjing couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that the person in front of her was the queen's daughter, Princess Yuanxin.

Immediately, Princess Yuanjing sneered, "It turns out that you are the long-lost daughter of the queen mother!" ”

Lan Xin smiled, his face was not shocked: "Yes, no, since you are a princess, you must set an example and treat your subordinates leniently, don't let others think that the princess treats the palace people so harshly, and there is no mercy at all!" ”

Princess Yuanjing's eyes were full of disdain, and her words were questioning: "You think you can order me as soon as you return to the palace?" ”

Shen Lanxin chuckled, "Don't dare, I'm for your good, there are many people in this palace, if this matter is known to others, it won't be good, don't ruin your reputation because of a palace maid." ”

Princess Yuanjing's face was as white as snow, and it was difficult to see the extreme.

She stepped forward and took a few steps, and smiled generously at Shen Lanxin: "Very good, I remember you, let's go." Before leaving, he didn't forget to dig Shen Lan's heart hard.

Shen Lan sighed secretly in his heart, it was really unlucky that there would be such a sister.

Jiang Yuan around the corner was like watching a play, and he watched the whole process.

At this time, Jiang Yuan walked out with exclamation on his face: "Cousin is really amazing!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Lanxin turned around and saw Jiang Yuan walking towards her, barely squeezing out a smile.

Jiang Yuan said again: "I didn't expect you to be my aunt's long-lost daughter, Princess Yuanxin. ”

The reason why he recognized her identity was not that Taxue had just reported her name, but that he already knew it when he saw Taxue, and he didn't see Taxue so he didn't know this girl, but Taxue was the person next to the queen, and the person who could protect Taxue must have some of the closest relationship with the queen, except for the queen's long-lost daughter, who would be!

Shen Lan subconsciously glanced at the snow and smiled, "You call me my aunt, you must be Jiang Yuan." ”

"That's right, I'm Jiang Yuan, I'm three years older than you in terms of age, you have to call me cousin."

Shen Lanxin smiled slightly, and called out politely: "Cousin." ”

Jiang Yuan smiled proudly, "This is like a family!" Speaking of this, he didn't forget to praise her, "Cousin, you were really amazing just now, Princess Yuanjing's face turned green when you said it!" Dare to point your nose and scold her, you are the first one. ”

Shen Lanxin laughed helplessly. sighed in my heart, I just came back, and I had a grudge against someone, so I really shouldn't be nosy.

She looked at Jiang Yuan again and asked, "Are you coming to see the queen mother?" ”

She suddenly reminded him that Jiang had almost forgotten that he had come to see the queen.

He suddenly patted his forehead and said, "Yes, don't you say that I almost delayed the hour, I will leave first." After saying that, he left quickly, for fear that he would be late.

Shen Lanxin saw that he was far away, and couldn't help frowning slightly, how could this Jiang Yuan be shocked.

Hearing the princess say this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when she stepped on the snow.

Shen Lan glanced at the snow and said, "Let's go too." ”

"Yes." Treading Xue followed the princess and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the princess go with Jiang Gongzi just now?" Aren't we just on the way? ”

Shen Lanxin looked ahead, and said expressionlessly: "I don't have a good impression of this person, and I don't have anything to say when we walk together." ”

When Taxue heard this, he didn't say anything.

The two came to Fengyi Palace.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the queen and Jiang Yuan talking and laughing while fiddling with the camellias.

"The Queen Mother."

When the queen heard this, she turned around and saw Shen Lanxin walking towards her.

"Yuan Xin, you are here, this palace is just about to send someone to find you, come here, this palace will introduce you to you......" Before the queen finished speaking, Jiang Yuan interrupted the queen's words.

"Auntie, my cousin and I have already met."

The queen's face was full of doubt. "Met? When? ”

Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "Just now." After speaking, he looked at Shen Lanxin again, "It's just cousin, why don't you come with me?" ”

Shen Lanxin naturally smiled, "I just went somewhere else, so I didn't go along with you." ”

At this time, the queen smiled, "Since we have met, then there is no need to introduce the palace." ”

Jiang Yuan knew that she was lying, she obviously hated herself, was he so annoying?

Jiang Yuan stared at Shen Lanxin with interest, and found that this cousin was really special.

Shen Lanxin still looked at him with a smile undiminished, "Cousin stares at me like this, does he have something to say to me?" ”

Jiang Yuan suddenly laughed, "You're so smart, I'm wondering how I'm so lucky to have such a lovely cousin." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but get goosebumps on the ground after hearing this, why did he sound so numb!

"Who is complimenting me on my cuteness again?" At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

When the three of them heard the sound, they all looked in the direction of the door, only to see a girl in a sapphire blue dress running over.

When the queen saw it, her face immediately fell, "Every time you walk, you don't have a straight shape!" ”

Princess Yuanli grinned, not caring about the queen's words at all, and said to Jiang Yuan: "Cousin, I heard what you said just now, are you saying that I am cute?" ”

Princess Yuanli looked at him, her eyes blinking.

Now I can ask Jiang Yuan, the words just now were obviously said to Shen Lanxin, if this suddenly changed his words, Shen Lanxin would not have a good impression of him, which deepened his hatred for him, thinking that she was not single-minded, hey, this Yuan Li is really not the right time.

Shen Lanxin fiddled with the camellia and observed him quietly, she also wanted to know with great interest how Jiang Yuan should answer Princess Yuanli's words.

Jiang Yuan had an idea, "Yes, I think I'm lucky to have two such lovely sisters." ”

As soon as the words fell, Princess Yuanli laughed happily.

"That's right, my sister and I were born from our mother, so naturally we are very cute." Princess Yuanli looked proud, not at all modest.

Jiang Yuan sighed secretly and glanced at Shen Lanxin, who smiled faintly at her, and didn't say anything to him, but turned his gaze to the queen.

"Queen Mother, this flower is so beautiful, what kind of flower is this?"

The queen smiled: "This is a camellia." ”

When Lan Xin heard that it was a camellia, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, Luo Zhi had told her in the past that the best of the camellia was the eighteen bachelors, and she had never seen it so far.

She couldn't wait to ask, "Queen Mother, I heard that the best of the camellia is called the Eighteen Bachelors?" ”

The queen put the camellia in her hand on the table, pointed to it and said, "Yes, this is the pot, it is the eighteen bachelors." ”

Shen Lanxin counted left and right, this camellia did not have as many eighteen colors, and even there were not so many flowers.

"This is the legendary Eighteen Scholars?" Lan Xin couldn't help but be suspicious.

The queen was a little puzzled when she saw her disbelieving expression.

"That's right, it's eighteen."

A trace of confusion appeared on Shen Lanxin's face, she thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't the eighteen bachelors a camellia with eighteen colors?" This one doesn't have that many colors. ”

Jiang Yuan, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

Lan Xin saw Jiang Yuan laughing, and the kind of laughter she could hear was ridicule, she couldn't help but glance at him, and said, "What, isn't it?" ”

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, and said, "There are only a few colors on a camellia, how can there be as many as eighteen." After speaking, Jiang Yuan pointed to the camellia and said: "You see, its two-cornered petals are arranged for more than a dozen rounds, mostly eighteen rounds, so it is called "Eighteen Bachelors". ”

Shen Lanxin stretched her neck and counted it carefully, really, she said to herself: "So that's the case!" ”

"Eighteen colors?" As he spoke, Jiang Yuan laughed again.

Shen Lan glanced at him and muttered, "I don't know what's so strange." ”

Mother is really, what eighteen colors, it's not like that at all, this time it's embarrassing to throw home, she glanced at Jiang Yuan, don't you understand camellia, as for smiling like that, seeing his grinning appearance, I really want to go up and slap him.

Shen Lan thought about it in his heart, and Yuan Li's slap slapped Jiang Yuan's head.

Jiang Yuan was beaten, and just now he was full of smiles and disappeared without a trace, he covered his head and looked at Princess Yuanli with an incredible face, and asked, "Yuanli, why are you beating me?" ”

Princess Yuanli pouted, put her hands on her waist, and said domineeringly: "Don't laugh at my sister!" ”

Jiang Yuan subconsciously glanced at Shen Lanxin, "I didn't have you to bully your sister." ”

When Jiang Yuan laughed at her for the first time, Princess Yuanli was already angry, but Jiang Yuan had been talking to Shen Lanxin, and she didn't notice Princess Yuanli's expression at all, Yuan Li was simple and kind by nature, for her, this sister had just come back, Jiang Yuan bullied her, she didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it was simply hateful, she wanted Jiang Yuan to know that her sister was not a casual bully.

Shen Lan was a little amused when he saw his embarrassed appearance, so he teased: "Yuan Li, your cousin is the most beautiful man, don't hit him on the head next time you want to fight." ”

Her implication is that if there is a next time, Yuan Li can grab it in the face, what will this beautiful man become if he breaks his appearance?

Jiang Yuan couldn't hear this, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, this cousin was really ruthless, and he actually threatened him with a broken appearance, but this cousin was really interesting.

He looked at Shen Lanxin, and the two of them just met their gazes, and then Shen Lanxin gave him a cute smile.

Princess Yuanli said with a smug face: "Next time my cousin is bullying you, I will go and tell my aunt and let my aunt clean him up." ”

The two sang and harmonized, Jiang Yuan didn't have the same knowledge as them, and immediately softened: "Aren't you okay if I'm afraid?" Don't dare next time. ”

Princess Yuanli held her chest up and said proudly: "This is about the same." ”

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and what he said is not bad at all." ”

At this time, Fang Hua walked over, "Niangniang, lunch is ready."

The queen said with a smile: "It's been a long time since this palace has been so lively, so let's eat here today." ”

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he didn't refuse, and hurriedly said, "Yes, aunt." After saying that, he slipped into the hall.

"Let's go, sister, let's go in too." Princess Yuanli smiled and walked in with Shen Lanxin and the queen's arm.

Fang Hua had just seen that several children had come to Fengyi Palace, and he knew that the queen would definitely leave a few people here for lunch, so he temporarily added a lot of dishes, Shen Lanxin looked at the table full of delicacies, and couldn't help but think of when he was in the imperial dining room.

The queen waved her hand and urged, "Don't stand, sit down and eat." ”

"Yuan Xin, the queen mother doesn't know what you like to eat, if you don't like it, this palace will let the kitchen do it."

Lan Xin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Queen Mother, don't bother the kitchen, these are all very good, and besides, there are already on the table where I like to eat." ”

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Which one do you like to eat, Fang Hua, go and bring it to Yuan Xin." ”

Shen Lan's heart was slightly sour, she shook her head at Fang Hua, signaling her not to do this.

Fang Hua was just about to leave when he saw Shen Lanxin's signal, so he stood there quietly, not moving, Fang Hua felt that Shen Lanxin was a very sensible girl, although she was in the people, but she was not vain, and her not proud nature made Fang Hua inevitably look down on her.

Princess Yuanli next to her pretended to be coquettish and said: "The queen mother is really eccentric, why is the dish I like to eat not allowed to be placed in front of me, my sister's can?" ”

Jiang Yuan interjected and said, "Yuan Li, just now you were still fighting for your sister, why are you complaining again?" Could it be that you were pretending just now? ”

Princess Yuanli was not happy when she heard this, her face immediately fell, and she picked up chopsticks and pretended to beat him, "Who do you say is pretending, believe it or not, I will go out of the palace to complain to my aunt in a while, saying that you bullied me." ”

Jiang Yuan crossed his hands, made a defensive gesture, and said: "So many eyes are watching, I didn't bully you, obviously you bullied me." ”

The queen's face changed slightly, "For so many years, your sister may have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins outside, shouldn't this palace be good to her?" ”

Princess Yuanli was suddenly taken aback when she saw the queen's displeasure, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and comforted: "Queen Mother, don't be angry, I'm joking with you, how can I be angry that you are good to my sister."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan also comforted: "Yes, aunt, I know that you have been worried about your cousin all these years, why don't we worry about her, you are angry." ”

Shen Lan saw that the two of them were coaxing the queen like children, she knew that the queen mother was not really angry, but she still blamed herself in her heart, blaming herself for not being by her side for so many years.

Seeing that the queen mother's expression was still deep, Princess Yuanli gently touched Shen Lanxin's foot with her foot, and seemed to say again with a pleading look, "Sister, help persuade the queen mother, okay?" ”

Indeed, at this time, the queen mother will listen to what she says.

Shen Lanxin got up and came to the queen, put a chicken leg in the queen's bowl, and said, "This chicken leg smells so good, queen mother, I know that your favorite food is chicken thigh." ”

The queen looked at the chicken legs in the bowl and then looked at Shen Lanxin, she didn't expect that she knew that she liked to eat chicken legs, her heart was really fine, and suddenly the dark clouds on her face disappeared without a trace.

"Learn from your sister, know what Bengong likes to eat, look at the two of you, you don't have a proper shape all day long, let Bengong say what is good about you?" The queen scolded the two of them with a look of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

Shen Lanxin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the two of them.

When Princess Yuanli and Jiang Yuan heard this, they immediately exchanged a look, and then they both got up and sandwiched the remaining chicken legs into the queen's bowl.

"The queen mother eats chicken legs."

"My aunt eats chicken legs."

The two said in unison, the queen couldn't cry or laugh when she looked at the bowl full of chicken legs.
