The carriage stopped suddenly, and Prince Lin Fujin asked:

"Why did it stop?"

The maid who was waiting outside replied:

"Fujin, there is a sedan chair waiting outside."

She lifted the curtain of the door, and the father-in-law who was waiting outside was someone she knew, a person beside him.

The father-in-law saluted and said:

"Fujin is auspicious, the emperor's special servants are waiting here."

What is he going to do? She raised her eyebrows, but had to get out of the carriage.

"Did the emperor say anything?"

"This, the minion doesn't know." The father-in-law bent on her waist and helped her get off the horse. She paused again before getting into the sedan chair. Along the way, the little eunuchs walked very fast, and her heart also beat extremely fast. It's been another two years, and I wonder if he still wants to ask himself the same question.

The sedan chair finally stopped. When she got out of the sedan chair, she saw a garden full of plums. Father-in-law said:

"Please wait here, and the emperor will come after taking care of the political affairs. The house has a fireplace. ”

After speaking, he withdrew with a sedan chair and people.

This garden is the same as in the past, and the plums he planted here with her when he was a child are now blooming better and better year by year. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, when my aunt was learning flower arrangement, it was at that time that I fell in love with this plum. She picked a plum that opened just right and folded it raw. It was a little cold, and she walked towards the house.

He was in front of the palace discussing the situation in the southwest border with Prince Lin and several ministers, when a father-in-law trotted in from outside the palace and whispered a few words in his ear. He stood up and said to them:

"The barbarians in the southwest have been breeding trouble, and Prince Lin has lived in the south for a long time, so you should discuss the next countermeasures."

After saying that, he left. The public road guarding the gate took him to the plum garden.

"Your Majesty, Fu Jin stood in the garden for a while, afraid that it was a little cold, so he entered the house."

He waved his hand and asked his father-in-law to wait outside the courtyard.

Since she came back, she and she had only met twice, and she had dodged herself every time. If I had asked her that question today, what would she have done? Will it still be the same answer as in the past? He went to the door and was about to knock, but the door opened from the inside.

Dressed in a pale pink satin robe, she was first startled when she saw him, and then there was a slight smile on her face. He was overjoyed, and called her name as soon as he opened his mouth:

"Hui'er."

She was holding a book in one hand, and the book was full of plum blossoms that had been dried up.

"You still have them." She raised the book in her hand. He nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment. She looked at it as she walked out into the garden. He followed behind her, watching her flip through the books.

"There are 30 flowers in total, one flower a year, I put 14 flowers in it, and you clip 16 flowers."

"After you leave, I'll put one in every year." He scratched his ears as if he were talking about shy love.

"These flowers too, every time I come, I feel that they are blooming better and better. I still remember when I first planted them when I was a child, I asked you when they would bloom, and you said you didn't know, and the next day when I opened the door, I saw a garden full of delicate red. Take a closer look, where are the plum blossoms, but the red paper glued on. I ran to my aunt's palace to look for you, and I heard my aunt scolding those imperial doctors outside the door, saying that if you can't cure your typhoid fever, you want them to look good. ”

She laughed as she spoke. He listened to her with a smile in his eyes.

"I've been guarding you in my aunt's palace for those days, remember, before you drink the medicine, I will help you taste the bitterness or not, if it is bitter, I will ask my aunt for sugar, and then secretly stuff it into your mouth."

"I remember that the sugar I ate back then was still the best sugar I've ever had." He echoed softly. She covered her mouth and chuckled:

"You're sick and it's raining outside. You lie on the bed and say, it's over, all the red paper is glued on, I'm afraid it's all falling now. Ignoring the rain outside, I ran here without holding my umbrella, and as soon as I entered the garden, I saw bare branches and confetti on the ground. ”

He went on to say:

"I'm chasing after you, and Eniang and Mama are chasing after us. When I finally caught up with you, I saw you squatting on the ground crying, saying that the flowers I gave you were gone. I took you in my arms and said over and over again, it's okay, they will grow and bloom into real plum blossoms in the future. ”

She looked at the flowers in this garden and replied:

"yes, they've all grown up, and they're blooming so well."

He couldn't help but ask:

"Hui'er."

She looked back, as carefree as she had when she was a child:

"Huh?"

"Would You ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, she began to laugh and shake her head.

"I don't want to."

The smile on his face froze, and his voice trembled:

"Why?"

She picked a delicate plum blossom, tucked it into the book in her hand, and handed it to him.

"I love you, but I don't like you anymore."

He knocked down the book in her hand, grabbed her hand, and looked into her eyes with hatred:

"You know, I can let him die right now!"

"You were the one who pushed me away in the first place, what did he do?" Hui'er frowned in pain, but she still had a smile on her face.

At the beginning, the queen mother objected to him being with her, and the eighth brother who was competing with him for the throne proposed again, if he gave her to himself, he would no longer compete with his brother.

He let go of his hand weakly. She crouched down and picked up the book:

"Don't ask me that question again, you won't get the answer you want."

The dried flowers in the book were thrown by him just now and fell out. She picked them up one by one, but his deep words came from her ears:

"If you don't see it again, don't you read it again?"

She knew what he was thinking, if she didn't see each other again in the future, would this longing, this attachment be a little lighter. Two tears fell from her eyes, and she hurriedly reached out to wipe them away.

"Perhaps."

She stood up, and tried to turn to look at him again, but before she could turn around, she heard him continue:

"I let it go. Let's go. ”

She took a breath and said:

"Jin'er, I want to take her away."

He said:

"She is the Duan Prince of the Imperial Finger, Fujin, and she can't go."

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? deliberately left Jin'er in the palace, and then let me keep thinking about it, reading it, but I just couldn't see it! ”

He stopped talking, and she didn't turn to look at him.

The father-in-law outside the garden whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is looking for Fujin everywhere in the palace."

She finally turned around, glanced at him, and left. As if deflated, he walked to where she had just been.

"Someone. sent Fujin to Cining Palace, and said that the new eunuch had taken the wrong road and made some detours. ”

"Wow."

He crouched down, picked up the dried flowers she had just picked up and placed them on the book, and put them back one by one.

Every year I pick one from this garden and put it in this book. Every time I put one out, I wonder if you would like it if you saw them. Today I know, you like them, but you'll never see them again.
