Leaning on the moon tower is built near the river, located in the center of the city, and is a famous place for fireworks.

The name of the owner of Yiyue Building is Chu Chu, as his name suggests, he is a rare alluring stunner, I don't know how many rich children have spent a lot of money to see her at night, but they have not been able to get what they want.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the bustling street market, Lime had a lot of thoughts, and his mind was full of Xiao Shizhi's dangerous eyes and the pendant of his folding fan.

Lime took out the Canaan bamboo on her chest that was close to her skin and rubbed it carefully.

This is a bamboo carved by the world's treasure honey knot Canaan, which is very small, only one section, and only half a piece, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

Xiao Shizhi's folding fan pendant is very similar to his own Canaan bamboo, just a hurried glance, only to see the style of the fan pendant, the future has time to distinguish the material, but the honey knot Canaan fragrance is special, although the fragrance is weak on weekdays, but if the internal force gathers, it can give out a rich aroma.

It is this unique aroma that makes the lime sure that it is honey knot Canaan.

"Xiao Shizhi, you have a lot of secrets." Lime sighed, this Canaan bamboo has been worn on his body for more than ten years, and its origin is not even clear about the snow that has been with him since he was a child.

And the only thing that is clear is that before the senior brother transformed it into a neck ornament, it was also a fan pendant.

"Subordinate Jing Chuchu has seen the master." A woman in purple appeared behind Lime, knelt on one knee, and saluted Lime.

"Well, get up." Lime turned around and looked at the woman, who had lived in the land of fireworks for a long time, gorgeous and charming, but cold in her bones, she was in charge of the affairs of the entire Suyan Capital City by herself, but she was a strange woman, "Is there any news recently?" ”

"Back to the master, the Queen Mother is about to have a big birthday, and the envoys from Jinnan, Ximo, Shuochu and Xiaoyue City have arrived in the capital one after another." Jing Chuchu got up, still lowered his head, and replied respectfully, "Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for five years, the harem is empty, and the queen mother wants to take advantage of the birthday banquet to enrich the harem for the new emperor." At the same time, Ximo and Jinnan also had the idea of marriage. ”

"Hmm. These days are mixed, so be careful. Lime turned around and looked downstairs through the window, it was the main hall of Yiyue Building, where singing and dancing were flourishing, and the children of rich families were having fun, "What I want will be delivered to Xiao Guogong's Mansion tomorrow, let's go out." ”

"Yes." Hearing this, Jing Chuchu exited the room and closed the door for Lime before leaving.

Early in the morning, as soon as Lime returned to the Sakura Pavilion, he ushered in Xiao Guogong, and as expected, Guogong did come for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Guogong deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to let the Queen Mother marry her eldest son with Shangshu. However, Lime was not worried, because she believed that Fang Han would never let it go.

On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Lime picked out a long aqua blue dress and painted a light makeup. Although it can't be said that the fish and geese are sinking, it is also beautiful and lovely.

When Lime arrived at the door of the Guogong Mansion, Xiao Shizhi had been there for a long time, and he was holding the folding fan that did not leave his body in his palm, Lime's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile, "Big brother." ”

"Hmm." Unsurprisingly, Xiao Shizhi just turned his head to look at the lime, nodded, and disappeared.

"Yikes! The big brother's folding fan is very exquisite, and the fan pendant has a peculiar shape, and it is the first time Yu'er has seen such a special fan pendant. Lime pretended to be surprised and looked at the folding fan in Xiao Shizhi's hand, and then looked at Xiao Shizhi, his tone was full of surprise and doubt, "This carving is bamboo?" But it's not like, what is this, can the eldest brother solve the confusion for Yu'er? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shizhi turned his head, looked at the lime suspiciously, and saw the surprise and excitement in the lime's eyes, Xiao Shizhi staggered his gaze and said slowly, "Tianshan Snow Bamboo." ”

"Tianshan Snow Bamboo." Lime tilted her head slightly, repeating these words in a novel way, looking like a curious child, "Presumably, Tianshan Snow Bamboo must be very beautiful, and if you have the opportunity in the future, Yu'er will definitely see the real face." I don't know where the eldest brother got this folding fan, and Yu'er likes it very much! ”

"It was given by an old man, and now that the old man is gone, this folding fan is of great significance to me, the eldest brother can't cut his love, and the third sister doesn't blame the eldest brother." Xiao Shizhi turned his head to look at the lime that was a head shorter than him, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and his face was very kind, but his soft gaze was mixed with a hint of sharpness and exploration.

"The eldest brother laughed, how could the younger sister be the one who snatched love with a knife, but when she saw the strange pendant, she couldn't help but ask curiously." Meeting the dangerous gaze, the smile in Lime's eyes was even brighter.

Although the origin of the fan pendant cannot be revealed, today's close observation has also confirmed his own conjecture, these two Canaan bamboos must be from the same person's hand, should be a pair.

Realizing that this topic could not continue, Lime moved her gaze to the three carriages prepared outside the door, "The second brother hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what the situation is on his side." ”

Lime also learned later that Xiao Shiqian did not come to the banquet in Yingyu Pavilion that night because of a sudden change in the army and was in a hurry to go back, and it has been more than half a month, and there has been no news yet.

"Yu'er don't worry, Qian'er is already on her way home, and she will be able to see her in a while." Xiao Guogong was late, looked at the two of them, and took the words of the lime with a smile, "It's too late for my father, let's go." ”

"When Daddy said this, my daughter was relieved." Lime laughed.

After Xiao Guogong got into a carriage first, Lime turned his head to Xiao Shizhi, "Big brother, please." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Shizhi nodded, but did not shirk.

When I arrived at the Imperial City, the hour was just right.

Lime and Manxue followed the palace maid who led the way to the imperial garden where the maid was located, but saw a richly dressed woman walking towards them.

"Slave and maid, see the second princess." The maid who led the way stepped aside and bowed.

"Well, the third lady will leave it to me, you can go down." The woman called the princess greeted her very happily and stopped the lime who was about to salute, "Yu'er, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to salute." Brother Huang said, Yu'er, you don't remember the past, so do you know who I am? ”

"Princess Monya." Looking at the expectant face, Lime smiled, "Am I right?" ”

"Yu'er still remembers me!" Hearing Lime call her name correctly, Mengya was so happy that she almost jumped up, and when she was happy, she suddenly caught a word, and Mengya's smile became a little hesitant, "Yu'er, you just said, guess?" ”

"There are only two princesses in the Imperial City. The eldest princess is gentle and demure, and she has always known the general situation, so she must be the queen mother at this time. Therefore, what can be seen here is naturally the smart and pleasing second princess, Princess Mengya. The princess, whose joy and anger were completely expressed on her face, was full of sorrow at the moment, which made Lime feel a little funny, "What's more, Yu'er doesn't have much friendship with the eldest princess, but has some general friendships with the second princess." ”

"It's a shame that you still know that you have some friendship with me, otherwise I'd be really angry." Mengya pursed her lips and said pretending to be angry.

"Although Yu'er has forgotten the things of her childhood, my maid Manxue has been by my side since she was a child, and she knows the things of her childhood best. I've been talking to it a lot these days, and I've finally remembered something. Lime sighed lightly, frowning slightly, as if very regretful.

"Back then, the three of us used to play together, and it was the best. But now, Yu'er, you can't remember the past, Xian Yu's whereabouts are unknown, leaving me alone in the imperial city, you are really ruthless. As she spoke, there was a cry in Mengya's voice. Mengya bit her lower lip and pressed back the tears lingering in her eyes, "I should be happy to see each other today, look at me, how can I be so disappointing." ”

"Princess, didn't I come back, although I don't remember, but the affection is still there." Lime took Mengya's hand and said as she walked, "Let's go quickly, it's not good to delay the hour." ”

Although the lime noodles did not show any emotional fluctuations, there was still some emotion in his heart, and it was in this situation that he met the deceased again. Even if the three of them get together today, they can't recognize each other when they get together, and they will be sad in vain.

I followed Princess Mengya for a long time, and listened to her tell interesting stories about her childhood, and the journey was not so boring.

On the way, I also met a few sons or ladies of the family, but every time I met a son or a miss, Princess Mengya would give a formal introduction to the lime, and it took a lot of time to go down a few times, so they were almost the last to go to the imperial garden.

At this moment, the imperial garden is very lively, and as soon as the lime enters the moon gate, there is a smell of fat powder rushing to the face.

The nobles in this garden have heard that the queen mother wants to enrich the harem for the emperor, so they all wear exquisite makeup, wear gorgeous satin, and dress up carefully, all looking forward to keeping the emperor's eyes, entering the harem, and being the most noble woman in the world.

Lime secretly said in her heart, this warbler and Yanyan gathered together, this kind of glamorous blessing is really difficult for ordinary people to bear.

Lime wanted to find a quiet corner in the middle of nowhere, but she forgot that Princess Mengya was by her side, and no matter what, it was difficult for everyone to ignore her.

A noble lady in a pink dress stepped forward, first saluted Princess Mengya, and then turned to Lime and said, "This young lady looks at Miansheng, but the third lady of the Xiao Guogong Mansion who just returned to the capital recently? ”

As soon as these words came out, the imperial garden suddenly became a lot quieter, and the nobles all listened to the conversation with their ears pricked up.

A few days ago, the rejection of many sons of the family had already spread all over the capital, and the nobles wanted to see what the third lady of the Xiao Guogong Mansion looked like, so that many outstanding young talents could be so interested.

"Exactly, I don't know which daughter this young lady is?" Lime looked at the woman in front of her, she was also sixteen or seventeen years old, unlike most noble women, her makeup was delicate but not heavy makeup, not old-fashioned, and a pink fairy dress lined her figure with a bumpy and dignified figure.

As soon as Lime finished speaking, he heard a discussion among the nobles.

"I don't even know that the county lord of Yirong is really a girl from the countryside, and I don't know why those sons of the family take a fancy to her?"

"Yes, I thought she was so powerful, it turned out to be a country girl who had never seen the world. Look at her, her face is not as good as the maid who followed her. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, no matter how bad it is, she is also the daughter of Xiao Guogong, and there are two such excellent brothers above, if you offend her, can you have good fruits to eat."

It's not just who said this, but when all the noble ladies heard this, they seemed to suddenly realize something, and they all shut up stupidly. Only the noble girl in red still said disdainfully, "So what, maybe any brain disease is a lie, Xiao Guogong just hated her and sent her away." ”

Lime cultivates internal strength, and his ear power is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people, so although the sound of those discussions is small, he listens to his ears, especially the last sentence, which is particularly clear.

"Bold! The third lady is a friend of this princess, how can she be criticized! If this princess hears half of the words about the third lady, leave the imperial garden immediately! "Princess Mengya is very angry, if Yu'er is bullied as soon as she returns to Beijing, then life will not be so easy in the future.

"Oh, the princess forgives her sins, it was the courtier's negligence who forgot to report herself, and the third lady forgive me." The woman who was called the lord of Yirong by everyone, with a sigh, bowed her head to the princess in fear and admitted her mistake, and then continued, "Third Miss, the courtier is the lord of Yirong County of Yun'an Palace. ”

"It turned out to be the county lord, it was Yu'er who was rude, Xiao Shiyu has seen the county lord of Yirong." A smile tugged at the corner of Lime's mouth as she saluted the Lord of Yirong impeccably.

The woman was wise, took the princess's anger, promised the nobles a favor, and calculated herself.

"Miss Three, don't be formal, Yirong really wants to be friends with Miss Three." Xia Yirong hurriedly helped the lime up and said very sincerely.

Before Lime could answer, a shrill voice came from outside, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

Hearing this voice, Lime saluted with everyone and shouted, "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" ”

I only heard the Queen Mother say, "Get up, this imperial garden has not been as lively as it is today for a long time." ”
