Seemingly overnight, the wind and snow buried the earth.

Yan Qingge got up in the morning and felt that the air was exceptionally moist, and the light outside the window was much brighter than usual, so he asked Ruyi: "Ruyi, is it snowing?" ”

Ruyi replied with a smile: "Yes, as soon as Miss lay down last night, she began to drop ice particles, and then it drifted up and snowed, and it hasn't stopped until now." Fortunately, Miss's bow and horse class stopped a few days ago, otherwise she would have gone to class today, and she would have frozen to death. ”

Yan Qingge put on his clothes, wrapped himself in a fur fur, and went out to take a look, and sure enough, the sky and the earth were white, and even the tree trunks were covered with snow, a world covered in silver.

She thought that there was no class today, so she asked the cook to order porridge and side dishes, and she didn't ask Ling Xiao and Shui Ying to get up, but before she ate it, she heard Ling Xiao's cheers outside: "It's great!" It's snowing! ”

Yan Qingge reluctantly swallowed the food in her mouth, rinsed her mouth, walked to the door, and saw Ling Xiao not combing her head or washing her face, jumping around in the yard, the snow was buried in her ankles, she was so excited that she just didn't lie down in the snow and roll around.

Now the snow in the sky is not small, and in just a moment, Ling Xiao's hair has fallen white. Chunni and Guiyan followed Ling Xiao with umbrellas to cover her with snow, but they couldn't keep up with her footsteps.

Yan Qingge said helplessly to Ling Xiao: "Don't go into the house quickly, don't wash your face early in the morning, just play here, and drink the decoction carefully when you are sick from frost." ”

When Ling Xiao heard this, his little face shriveled, so he could only go back to clean his face and wash his face first, and then change into dry clothes, and then came to Yan Qingge's place to eat.

By the afternoon, the snow had finally stopped. Ling Xiao immediately rushed out of the door, shouting to build a snowman.

She had just taken a snowball when a female gentleman walked in and smiled at Ling Xiao, "Everyone in your yard is there, right?" ”

Ling Xiao nodded, and the gentleman took out three thin envelopes from his sleeve and said, "This is an invitation from Princess Rouhui, she is going to hold a plum appreciation party in the valley tomorrow, and you will give the invitation to the two of them." ”

This gentleman also had to send invitations to others, so he left three invitations and left.

Yan Qingge got the invitation, took it out and looked at it, and found that the location of the Meihui was in a small valley in Yanxia Mountain.

Shui Ying knew that place, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of plum blossoms planted in that place, and a plum party is held every year, not only our academy, but also outsiders come to enjoy the plum blossoms." It's cold in the mountains, but it's much more lively than usual in winter. ”

Yan Qingge smiled: "That's nature! I haven't gone out to enjoy plum blossoms yet, but at most I'm sniffing the plum blossom branches pinched from elsewhere in the house, so I'm going to take a good look at them this time. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Qingge wrapped himself tightly and went out with Shui Ying and Ling Xiao.

It is not easy to pass the carriage in that place, and people have always taken the carriage to the White Deer Academy, deposited the carriage, and then walked over.

Yan Qingge didn't need to store the carriage, so they asked a few maids to carry baskets for things, singing and laughing all the way to the valley.

Taniguchi built a large mansion, which is said to be a royal house, and when it comes to enjoying plum blossoms in winter, it is often borrowed by the imperial relatives, and today it is Princess Rouhui who uses it.

Yan Qingge entered the door, only to feel warm all over, and the shop was filled with a hot and elegant fragrance.

There were already a lot of girls in the house, and many of them were sitting with each other, smiling and talking.

Because of the first two things about fur and fur arm guards, Yan Qingge had a good relationship with many girls in the academy, and many people invited the three of them to sit over.

Yan Qingge picked up the pile of seven or eight girls gathered at the entrance, sat down for a while, and listened to them chattering about the gossip in Beijing, listening to it with a smile on the side.

Ling Xiao couldn't listen to it, and pulled Yan Qingge and said: "The princess will only come over at noon, let's go out to Meilin to play first, the snow is pressing the plums, and the flowers are colorful, it must be excellent." ”

Yan Qingge couldn't be pestered by her, as long as he went with her. Shui Ying was tired and lazy, and sat still.

Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao had just left when a girl coughed, stood up and walked in the direction of the clean room.

After a while, a maid ran to Yuan Niannian and whispered to her. A gleam flashed in Yuan Niannian's eyes, nodded with a smile, and left with the maid.

When there was no one outside the door, Yuan Niannian said to the maid: "You just said that the princess called everyone to feast and drink, and went to call the two of them back." There is the outer courtyard on the other side of the valley, and the prince will also come to enjoy the plum blossoms in the next few days, but the news is tightly covered, and even I don't know if he is here or not. Be smart, don't let them bump into the prince. ”

The maid nodded obediently and turned in the direction of Merlin.

In the plum grove, there are red plum blossoms that burn like fire, and occasionally one or two white plums are mixed in. Ling Xiao was interested, and he had to walk around Merlin and count how many white plum trees there were. Yan Qingge was helpless for a while, and said: "Where is this counted, this Merlin also has several acres and thousands of trees, let's finish counting, I'm afraid it will take a few days." ”

Ling Xiao didn't follow and said, "Good sister, let me count them." When it's almost noon, we'll go back, okay? ”

Yan Qingge was helpless and said, "Okay, but when I say when I go back, you have to go back when you want." ”

When they first walked, they could meet one or two girls who admired the plum blossoms, and the farther they went, no one could see a single one.

At this time, Ling Xiao suddenly pointed to a line of muttered footprints on the ground and said, "Hey, someone has been here." Could it be that they also count white plum blossoms? ”

"Of course not." Yan Qingge nodded Ling Xiao's nose: "There are so many people who come to enjoy the plum blossoms this time, you should be the only one who will go inside." ”

The two walked along, and the footprints looked limp and turned back. The snow in front of him was like new paper, Ling Xiao went all the way forward, and suddenly shouted: "Sister Qingge, come and see, there is such a big white plum forest here." ”

Yan Qingge ran over to take a look, and saw Ling Xiao standing on a steep slope, below the slope, there was a small deep pit, in which grew a beautiful and flawless pure white small plum forest, crowded next to each other, there were about a dozen white plum trees, from above, it looked like a huge flower urn stuffed with many white plum bouquets.

"It's so beautiful, I want to go down and see it. It's a pity that it's not easy to come up. Ling Xiao pouted.

The slope was too steep, and the weather was freezing and there was a layer of ice on the snow, so they couldn't go down at all, and could only watch the beautiful scenery of the plum forest from a distance.

After looking at Bai Mei for a while, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Sister, you watch first, I'll take the maid to fold a few plum blossoms, I'll pick you up later, let's go back together." ”

Yan Qingge nodded, and asked Ruyi to go with her too, so as to pick some plum blossoms.

Since this place is going to hold a plum party, Princess Rouhui will definitely clear the scene, and there will definitely be no danger, and it is also excellent for her to stay alone and look at this plum blossom. Her body is not as strong as Ling Xiao, she is indeed a little tired from walking, and a thin layer of sweat comes out of her head, if she walks around again, the sweat on her body can't fall, I'm afraid she will get sick.

Just when Yan Qingge didn't know it, a group of people were quietly walking over.

The young man at the head was about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a silver cotton robe embroidered with dragons, wearing the most popular fur in Beijing on his head, and a pair of arm guards, which had been the most popular in recent times. He wore an apricot-yellow silk ribbon around his waist with a piece of green jade tied to it.

He did not have the health that a young man should have, he was skinny, his steps were vain, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were a little blue, his face was too delicate, and his eyebrows were always sad in his heart. When he took two steps, he was about to rest for a while, and there were a few subordinates carrying chariots behind him, so that he could rest at any time when he was tired of walking.

Suddenly, the boy stopped, stopped the footsteps of the people, and looked ahead.

I saw a young girl standing in front of her, looking from afar, not knowing what she was looking at.

In the direction they came, they could see the girl's side face. Her eyebrows are faint, her chin is delicate, and she is looking ahead leisurely, with two faint pink masses on her face, which are lined with red lips and white teeth, and black hair. Even though she was wearing a thick coat and a cloak, she still looked extremely thin, and there was a natural agility on her body.

Most importantly, the boy always felt like he had seen her somewhere.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen a painting in the palace of the queen mother, and the girl in the painting was standing in a snowy plum forest, holding a plum blossom and smiling, and the girl in the painting was exactly the same as the girl in front of him.

His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the girl. The one in the mother's palace was marked with a date, nearly twenty years ago, but the girl's appearance and body were not bad compared to the painting. She seems to have been forgotten by time, and she seems to be an ageless fairy.

The prince looked at her figure and chanted softly: "The dragon sees the head, the snow is traceless, every year and today, and every year ......."

At this moment, the girl in front of her squatted down slightly. Her figure flashed, and she disappeared without a trace.

This silence was too weird, and the people around him were just about to make a sound, but he raised his hand to stop it.

The prince said, "Don't move, don't shout." It was the plum blossom fairy in the forest, and I guess she didn't want us to see her before leaving. Let's go back gently, so as not to disturb her quiet. ”

Yan Qingge looked up at the top of the Baimei Pit, wanting to cry without tears.

She had been standing for a long time, her legs were cold and numb, and she just wanted to squat down and warm her legs and feet with the soup woman in her arms, but she didn't expect that she didn't squat steadily, and she slipped into the white plum pit.

Fortunately, the plum blossom branches below caught her, and she was dressed thickly, so she didn't break herself.

Now I had to wait for Ruyi and Ling Xiao to come back to save themselves.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she heard Ling Xiao's call, and she hurriedly said loudly: "Ling Xiao, I fell." ”

Ling Xiao's head poked out at the mouth of the pit, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "Sister, you are really naughty." Simply you are down there, fold a few white plums for me. ”

Yan Qingge was originally a little depressed, but when she laughed, her mood improved again.

Several handmaidens and Ling Xiao contributed their own sweat towels, tied them together, and pulled Yan Qingge up. A few people talked and laughed all the way and went back to Huangzhuang.
