After gossiping for a while, the queen seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to the maidservant Liang'er beside her: "By the way, those beaded flowers and hairpins sent by the Internal Affairs Office, I asked you to pick some beautiful ones to keep for Myanmar, and the rest to the palace maidens, can you do it?" ”

Liang'er responded: "Back to Niangniang, it's all done." It's just that I don't know if the ones I picked fit the heart of the Burmese girl. ”

The queen smiled and said to Hua Mian: "Why don't you go to her room with Aunt Liang'er and see if the ones she chooses are to your liking?" ”

The queen's intentions could not be clearer in her heart. She obviously asked Liang'er to bring those jewelry, but she wanted to let herself go in person, obviously wanting to break herself up.

Before she came, she specially explained to Ji Yunye that if the queen wanted him to choose a concubine, he would accept it first, and he must not contradict her and make her unhappy, and he should not show too much importance to himself in front of her and make her jealous of herself. The coming day is long, and the matter between them can be discussed in the long run. Ji Yunye didn't expect her to think about the problem so cautiously and her mind was so mature, because what she said was reasonable, so she readily agreed.

Hua Mian quietly winked at Ji Yunye, then happily hugged the queen, kissed her on the cheek and said, "The queen mother is so good!" ”

The queen smiled: "So soon to change your name to the queen mother?" ”

Hua Mian laughed harmlessly: "Then do you like me to call you that?" ”

"Yes, of course I do." The queen pinched her little face and said, "The queen mother has an extra daughter, and she is very happy." ”

"Then I will come every day to honor your mother." Hua Mian said that, he pulled Liang'er and ran out of the temple gate happily.

Seeing her figure disappear outside the hall, the smile on the queen's face did not dissipate for a long time, and she sighed for a long time: "If she has an identity worthy of you, why should the queen mother pick and choose for you." ”

Ji Yunye said: "The child is still young now, and it is not too late to wait a few years to choose a concubine." ”

"Small? Mama Zhao told me all this morning. ”

Ji Yunye's face was hot, and he said angrily: "Why does Mama Zhao say everything?" ”

"She didn't say anything, she just told me. Besides, the queen mother is not an outsider. Now that you are older, there should be someone in the room to serve you, so let her go to the side hall to sleep. ”

"I'll sleep separately from Myanmar, but I'm still free of room."

"What? Do you feel embarrassed or are you afraid that Myanmar will break up with you because of this? ”

Ji Yunye wanted to say that he was afraid that Myanmar would be sad, but when he thought of Hua Myanmar's advice, he was silent again.

The queen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she is still young and doesn't understand this." You just avoid her when you have sex. ”

Ji Yunye only felt that his cheeks were hotter, and he wanted to tell her that Mian'er didn't understand anything as you imagined, but he felt that it was useless to say more, so he had to remain silent again.

The queen said again: "Your cousin Su Su and General Lan's concubine Lan Xirui are both beautiful ladies in the show, which one do you like more?" ”

Ji Yunye said shyly: "The children have never thought about them, because they have never paid attention to them. ”

The queen smiled and said, "It's okay, you can have more contact with them on weekdays." In addition, I heard that the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu is now slim, although she is not very old, she is well-read and courteous, and her reputation is far and wide, and the people who propose relatives are about to break through the threshold of Shangshufu. Or, when will the queen summon her into the palace for you to see? ”

Ji Yunye said respectfully: "The queen mother will arrange it." ”

The queen was very pleased with his performance, and when Hua Mian returned from picking out the jewelry, she sent them away.

As soon as Fang left Kunning Palace, a man and a dog broke into Hua Mian's sight. She looked at it fixedly, wasn't that ten-year-old Ji Lingzhi and her dog Xueqiu?

At that moment, joy and sourness surged into her heart, she rushed forward and hugged the snowball into her arms, tears couldn't stop falling, making Ji Yunye and Ji Lingzhi confused.

Ji Ling said puzzledly: "Who bullied you?" ”

Hua Mian shook her head and choked up, "I dreamed that the snowball was killed, and now I feel so happy to see it alive." ”

Ji Lingzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be a dream, I thought you were being bullied." ”

Hua Mian pulled Ji Yunye's sleeve and wiped her tears: "Brother Yuye is here, who dares to bully me?" Back then, he killed Li Jieyu without hesitation for himself.

Ji Yunye chuckled and scratched her little nose, while Ji Lingzhi echoed with a serious expression: "Isn't it, the imperial brother is the crown prince, and he will definitely be able to protect Burma." ”

At this moment, Hua Mian suddenly saw the innocence unique to Teng Yan and Chu Youran from him, and his heart became soft and abnormal. She held back the tears that welled up again, pinched his cheek and said, "Ah Zhi is really cute." ”

Ji Lingzhi blushed, slapped her hand away and said, "You are obviously younger than me, why do you always look old-fashioned." ”

Hua Mian said amiably, "This time, I think you are cute from the bottom of my heart. ”

Ji Yunye snorted and laughed: "This time, I finally think you look like a nine-year-old girl." ”

Hua Mian was stunned by his words: "What do you mean?" ”

"Pretend to be old."

"Huh?"

"Ahhhhhh Ji Yunye said and took her little hand and walked towards Shuihua Palace.

Ji Lingzhi wanted to follow them, but when he thought that he hadn't said goodbye to the queen mother, he looked at their backs and turned towards Kunning Palace.

Hua Mian couldn't help but look back, and as his small figure faded away until it disappeared from sight, tears rolled down uncontrollably again.

Sensing her strangeness, Ji Yunye couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, and then said in surprise: "Why are you crying again?" ”

Hua Mian sobbed and said, "I dreamed that Ah Zhi passed away, and now I feel so happy to see him well." ”

Ji Yunye smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is a child's heart, and a dream can make you cry like this." But how do you have bad dreams? ”

Hua Mian wasted no time in saying: "I have always had nightmares since I heard that you were going to get married, and you have to compensate me." ”

"Well, how do you want me to make amends?"

"I don't want to do my homework today, can you accompany me out of the palace to relax?" Back then, she had been lying for months due to poisoning, and she had missed a lot of opportunities to have fun, but now she can play happily, so why not?

Ji Yunye was also refreshed, and even agreed to it.

When you go to the street, flowers are blooming everywhere, the fragrance is fragrant, and there are groups of young men and women in groups, which seem to be very lively.

Hua Mian said strangely: "Could it be a special day today?" ”

Ji Yunye said with a smile: "Today is the first day of the nine-year Hundred Flowers Festival. ”

"Why every nine years?"

"Because nine countries take turns to hold it, it only happens once in nine years."

"Why nine countries? Why do they rotate? ”

Ji Yunye explained: "Middle-earth was originally a unified country, but it was later divided into nine countries. At the beginning of the division, in order to recuperate and recuperate, countries established this custom in order to live in harmony and have friendly exchanges. Later, although there were often changes of dynasties, this custom has continued. ”

"I see. During the Hundred Flowers Festival, will you see a lot of foreigners? ”

"Of course."

Hua Mian said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier when there was such a grand event?" ”

"Didn't I want to surprise you? Moreover, I originally planned to finish today's homework and take you out of the palace after lunch. What, angry? ”

Lunch? Hua Mian remembered that in that life, he drank the poison in jasmine tea in the afternoon. Thinking that she missed the Hundred Flowers Festival because of this, although she picked up a life, in order not to make herself sad, Ji Yunye let people hide the matter.

Hua Mian grinned and said, "Brother Ye said that he wanted to surprise me, how could I be angry?" I'm in a terrible mood right now. "I picked up a hundred flowers festival in vain, can I be in a bad mood?

The two of them and one dog enjoyed the flowers on the street and walked all the way with the crowd in the shouting of the hawkers, and unconsciously arrived at the shore of Tingxin Lake.

The moment she saw the scene in front of her, Hua Mian was stunned. After living in Dongli for fourteen and a half years, she has never seen such a beautiful Tingxin Lake.

In addition to the water and sky, the chirping of birds, peonies and magnolia buds, peonies and roses are in full bloom, all kinds of flowers and trees compete with each other, and each one is hanging countless lights. As you can imagine, when the night comes, it will be full of light and beauty.

In the crisp and fragrant aroma, a male peacock that appeared out of nowhere spread its colorful tail as if competing with a hundred flowers, causing a group of children to jump and jump around it.

Looking out into the lake, several pairs of brightly feathered mandarin ducks and water ducks are playing leisurely. Next to the bead curtain embroidered curtain, Gui Ji Lan Hua or line or stop the gorgeous cruise ship are arranged with all kinds of bonsai. There is a young lady standing on the side of the boat, or leaning against the window to look out, I don't know whether she is admiring the flowers, or attracted by the fish that occasionally jump out of the water, and her face is full of youthful smiles.

Everything was so vivid, joyful and peaceful.

Hua Mian happily pulled Ji Yunye up the cobblestone winding path, passed through a quaint open pavilion, and boarded a sightseeing boat moored on the lake.

When she reached the top floor, Hua Mian looked back to summon the snowball, but it was long gone. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly ran up to the deck to look around. When her gaze touched the two people on the shore, she couldn't help but breathe.

If she was not mistaken, the two were Pei Gongcuo, who was not yet fourteen years old, and his personal bodyguard Han Zheng. It turned out that they had been to Dongli during the Hundred Flowers Festival that year, but she didn't know it. She thought their first meeting would be five years later, but she didn't expect it to be advanced by five years due to a change of fate.

In order to prevent the bad fate from happening, the only thing she can do is to avoid him. Thinking so, she said to Ji Yunye beside her: "Brother Ye, I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable, let's go back to the palace." ”

Ji Yunye put his hand on her forehead with concern and said, "Did you catch a cold last night?" ”

"Probably." She raised her eyes to look at the shore, and when she saw Pei Gongcuo looking at her, she was so frightened that she quickly turned around.

Ji Yunye said strangely: "How can Xueqiu have a good time with a stranger?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Mian turned her head back again, only to notice that Pei Gongcuo was stroking Snowball's head and smiling at it, while Snowball was munching on a chicken leg with relish.
