Chapter 53: Plum Blossom Tea

As soon as Lianzhi walked into the Imperial Garden, Wen Yunxi saw her: "Wanyang, come over here." Lianzhi looked at Wen Yunxi, Wen Yunxi was surrounded by Ji Wanyi and Xiao Yunwei, and the three of them were sitting at the stone table.

When Lianzhi approached, Wen Yunxi pulled her to sit down, Ji Wanyi had never had too much contact with Lianzhi, and she was not familiar with her, so she just greeted her politely. The last time Xiao Yunwei got acquainted with Lianzhi at the Lantern Festival, she said a few more words.

Wen Yunxi took out a wooden box and handed it to Lianzhi: "This is a New Year's gift from Gu Gongzi, he can't enter the palace, so let Wanyi bring it to us." ”

Lian Zhi was a little surprised: "Gu Shiqi? ”

Wen Yunxi nodded: "Open it up and take a look, we haven't seen yours yet." ”

Lianzhi opened the small wooden box under the urging of Wen Yunxi, and there was a carved bracelet inside, Lianzhi took out the bracelet and took a closer look: "It's a lotus." ”

"Gu Gongzi really has a heart, the bracelets for each of us are different colors, the bracelet for me is a hosta flower, and the bracelet for Wanyi is a peach blossom." Wen Yunxi stared at the bracelet in Lianzhi's hand, "Your lotus flower is also very good-looking." ”

Lianzhi put the bracelet back in the wooden box and closed the lid again: "How many people did Gu Gongzi give New Year's gifts?" ”

"I sent a lot of people, so the three of us don't have to talk about it, and Brother Wanyi, my brother, Brother Prince, and even the cold wind." Wen Yunxi replied.

Wen Zhiyu, Wen Zhiyan, Ji Nanyi and Han Feng, Lian Zhi was a little puzzled: "All the bracelets are sent?" ”

"What we gave was a bracelet, and what was given to a man was a jade pendant, and the patterns on the jade pendant were also different. It's not so precious to say that it's precious, but it's rare that the carving is outstanding, and Gu Gongzi also has a heart, and we didn't think of giving him a New Year's gift. ”

Lianzhi said: "Then I have to think about what kind of gift to return." ”

"Don't worry about it, just let my brother and the prince's brother think about it." Wen Yunxi said, "But I didn't expect that since the last Lantern Festival, Gu Shiqi and Ji Nan Izizi actually had a bit of a relationship, and Gu Shiqi often went to Pingbohou Mansion to talk to Ji Shizi." ”

"My brother doesn't go out much because he is not in good health, because Gu Gongzi is willing to come and go from time to time, and my brother is in a much better mood." Ji Wanyi said.

"The four of you will hide quietly." Wen Miqing walked over from there, followed by several young ladies of the family, "Why is Princess Wanyang here too?" ”

"I invited Wanyang here." Wen Yunxi replied, "Why did the Fourth Emperor Sister come over, weren't you over there?" ”

"Since everyone is here, let's talk together, a few of you are hiding here, is there something we can't listen to?" Wen Miqing asked.

Wen Yunxi replied: "We can say what you can't listen to, and it's our freedom to sit where we want." ”

"The queen mother asked us to bring all the ladies of the family to the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, you leave them alone, usually you are willful, why are you so willful today?" Wen Miqing came to find trouble with Wen Yunxi again today.

Xiao Yunwei couldn't stand it anymore: "Princess Miqing, I have always been quiet, so I deliberately troubled Princess Yunxi to bring us to a place where there are few people, how can this be said to be the director of Yunxi?" ”

"Miss Xiao had better think about what to say and what not to say before she speaks." Wen Miqing wanted to suppress Xiao Yunwei, but Xiao Yunwei didn't take her words to heart: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

Xiao Yunwei is the same as his father of the imperial history, a stinky and hard stone, and she can't be hard to deal with: "This princess also wants to take you to see the plum blossoms in this imperial garden, and today I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare plum blossom cakes for you ladies to taste, is this still the princess's?" ”

Xiao Yunwei was about to say something, but Lian Zhi got up and replied: "I think it's cold weather, and Miss Xiao doesn't want to move around more, but since Princess Miqing invited her to see the plum blossoms, then we might as well obey our fate respectfully." ”

If Xiao Yunwei continues to talk, maybe she will really quarrel with Wen Miqing, it is really embarrassing in front of so many people, and Lianzhi can only calm down.

Wen Yunxi also got up: "This year's plum blossoms are really good-looking, this princess wanted to take a look at the plum blossoms in the snow a few days ago, but I didn't expect to have a chance today, Miss Xiao, Miss Ji, let's go and see together." ”

Xiao Yunwei and Ji Wanyi also knew that Lian Zhi and Wen Yunxi were relieving the siege, and they agreed to ignore the kindness of the two.

Wen Miqing took everyone around the Imperial Garden, she walked far ahead, Wen Yunxi, Lianzhi and others walked at the back.

"I think the fourth princess just thinks that we didn't revolve around her, and she was unhappy, so she deliberately made trouble for us." Ji Wanyi didn't have a good impression of Wen Miqing at all.

Wen Yunxi was a little helpless: "Forget it, don't worry about it, anyway, I just want to take a look at the red plum that is just right." But speaking of red plums, I think of Wan Baolin who appeared in Weiyang Palace today. ”

"What's wrong with Wan Baolin?" Lianzhi didn't go to Weiyang Palace, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Wan Baolin's appearance today surprised everyone, I really look like the red plum of the proud snow, and my father also looks at Wan Baolin a few times from time to time, but Wan Baolin is still cold and indifferent to his father." Wen Yunxi described to Lianzhi.

Lian Zhi felt that Iris Dai was not such a swaggering person, why was it abnormal today?

"Let's rest here for a while, and we have specially prepared plum blossom tea for you, which can be regarded as a scene." Wen Miqing beckoned everyone to sit down in front, Wen Miqing, Wen Yunxi and Lin Wanyang sat around the same table, and the ladies of each family sat on the chairs on both sides.

"This plum blossom tea is brewed with melted snow water, it is very refreshing and sweet, everyone can taste it." Wen Miqing said and beckoned the palace maid to present the plum blossom cake, "The plum blossom cake is also made of fresh plum blossoms, and the taste is not particularly unusual, but it is better than this plum blossom." ”

Su Qing wanted to bring plum blossom tea to Lianzhi, but was stopped by Wenhe: "Su Qing, you are here to accompany the princess, and I will serve tea." ”

Lianzhi had been paying attention to Su Qing and Wen He, and naturally when she heard Wen He's words, she didn't move, just sat steadily.

When Wen He came over with tea, Lian Zhi's hand put a touch on Wen He's waist: "Wen He, your purse embroidery is exquisite, I haven't found you have such craftsmanship before." ”

Wen He only thought that Lianzhi suddenly noticed the purse on his waist: "If the princess likes it, the slave will go back and embroider the purse for the princess." ”

Lianzhi nodded: "Okay, wait until the palace has chosen the trick for you." ”

Wen He replied and retreated to the side, and everyone didn't pay attention to this episode.

"What's on the lake?" Lianzhi suddenly pointed to the lake not far away and asked, hearing Lianzhi's words, everyone looked at the lake, and Wen Miqing took a look: "Isn't the lake just frozen, what else can there be?" ”

"Maybe I'm wrong, it looks like someone is walking on the surface of the lake." Lianzhi explained, Wen Miqing felt that Lianzhi had no knowledge: "In previous years, it was true that there were playful little palace maids who went ice skating when they saw ice on the lake, and it may have been a little palace maid who was greedy for fun just now." Could it be that Princess Wanyang hasn't seen it in Dongxia? ”

"The lake is frozen, but it's still too dangerous." Lianzhi replied to this sentence, then picked up the teacup in front of her, she opened the lid of the cup, and smelled the sweet aroma of plum blossoms in the tea, "This smell is good." ”

Wen Miqing also picked up the teacup in front of him: "It tastes better." ”

Wen Miqing watched Lian Zhi take two sips, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook, she hid the smile on her face by drinking tea, and when she put down the teacup again, she couldn't see the previous smile.

"What does Princess Wanyang think of the taste?" Wen Miqing asked.

Lianzhi nodded: "It's really good." ”

Everyone tasted plum blossom tea, and this year they specially added plum blossom tea and plum blossom crisp, which should also be the queen's mind.

"Miss Ji, how is Ji Shizi's health?" Wen Miqing asked this sentence at this time, which meant something else.

A trace of disgust crossed Ji Wanyi's eyes, Wen Miqing's thoughts were too clear to her, it was nothing more than that she had fallen in love with the power of the Pingbohou Mansion, but she would never agree to let her brother marry such a princess back: "How is my brother's body, I don't worry too much about Princess Miqing, and it doesn't seem appropriate for the princess to care about a foreign man in front of so many female relatives, right?" ”

Wen Miqing didn't expect Ji Wanyi to give her so much face, she didn't know what the sick seedling in Pingbohou Mansion looked like, how could she really like Ji Nanyi, it was nothing more than seeing that it was a big help in Pingbohou's Mansion, and she could help Wen Zhiyan in the future, otherwise she wouldn't do more, but this Ji Wanyi actually dared not appreciate it?

"Miss Ji doesn't seem to like this princess very much?" Wen Miqing's tone was threatening, and the ladies of the family present couldn't help but look at Ji Wanyi, waiting for Ji Wanyi's answer.
