Seeing that Hua Mian didn't react for a long time, Aunt Jinyue thought that she was worried about going to the envoy after the New Year, and comforted: "You don't have to worry so much, you won't be in such a hurry to do it, after all, it is a major event that will affect the two countries, and more importantly, in the cold winter season, unless you are extremely familiar with the local terrain and land, ordinary outsiders will not choose such bad weather to go to Beilin."

The two of them spread out the picked mandarin duck vines again and dried them on the rocks spread in the garden, and after completing these tasks, Aunt Jinyue took Huamian to the side to drink tea.

Hua Mian has always been very curious about Aunt Jinyue's gray pupils, especially after meeting Yuan Kong Ming at the moon viewing banquet, Hua Mian once again confirmed that the two have the same pupil color, but this color is different from Sikong Yu's blue pupils, Sikong Yu's blue pupils are an obvious symbol of Xiyaoguo, and what does the gray pupils represent?

Probably sensing that Hua Mian was observing her eyes, Aunt Jinyue put down the teacup in her hand and said: "My hometown is in a small fishing village near the sea in the east, where there are often Dongliu people, and after a long time, these people will integrate into the life of the locals, my ancestors are said to have the blood of Dongliu people, but there are few people in this generation who are such colors."

Feeling that the other party is noticing herself, Hua Mian also thinks it's rude to stare at other people's eyes like this, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just think the color of your eyes is beautiful"

"Do you think such a gray is pretty?" , Jin Yue couldn't help but be stunned, this is the first time someone said that her eyes are good-looking, when she was a child, in the village, gray-eyed children like her were the most statusless, and they would always be regarded as thieves or useless children.

When she was a little older, she left the village to look for a job and accidentally met a slave trader, because her eye color was not easy to sell, so she was simply sold to the palace, and at first she only did the cleaning of the outermost palace wall, because of the matter of Jinyue Palace, she asked herself to take care of the sick maid, so that she was able to get into the palace.

Jinyue Palace is full of patients, no one cares about the color of her eyes, and she finally doesn't have to dodge and dare not look at others like she did when she was outside the palace, but it is the first time that she has to agree with her.

"Thank you", Jinyue expressed her gratitude to Huamian from the bottom of her heart.

"What is there to thank for this, don't be so polite", just helped her collect the mandarin duck vines, and she also had to take some away, and she was still a little overwhelmed by Jinyue's thank you.

"It's not just because of the harvest of mandarin duck vines, but also for the things you have done for the people here...", of course, there were other things, but Jinyue didn't say it.

Hua Mian was a little embarrassed, rolling up her sleeves to hide her embarrassment, "It's not a big deal, it's just a gesture when you have nothing to do", and compared to working outside, Hua Mian actually prefers the quiet atmosphere of Jinyue Palace, and she doesn't have to worry about being disturbed when she does something.

"What's next for you?"

To Aunt Jinyue's question, Hua Mian replied honestly: "After taking the mandarin duck vine, go back and prepare the dinner of His Highness Eleventh."

Jin Yue did not show dissatisfaction with Hua Mian's reply, although it was obvious that such a reply was not what she wanted to hear, and Jin Yue did not continue the topic quietly when she did not know if the other party was deliberately hiding this answer.
