"By the way, it's been very cold recently, and it's snowing again, so Qianqian's body is weak and she hasn't caught a cold." The three of them said something around the palace banquet again, and Jing Ning suddenly thought of Lan Qian's weak body, and couldn't help but ask.

Lan Yao smiled, "Qianqian's body is better now, there are many famous doctors in the capital, and grandpa has also bothered to find some traveling doctors in the rivers and lakes to show Qianqian, and now she is recuperating, and it has a little effect." ”

"That's good." Regarding Lan Qian's illness, Jing Ning has always been worried in his heart. This is Qianqian's first winter in the capital, and I don't know if she is used to the winter in the capital.

Jing Jing quietly looked at Lan Yao, who was chatting with Ah Yuan one after another, still smiling so big, but for some reason, she always felt that Xiao Yao was not as happy as she appeared. Just like the smile that Chen Zhi had always had on his face before......

Thinking of Chen Zhi, Jing Ning's eyes darkened. Until now, he has not asked her about Chen Zhi's departure, and he has always avoided this topic.

Lan Yao noticed that Jing Ning's gaze had been falling on him, looked over, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Jing Ning? ”

Jing Ning retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly in disguise, "Young, stop him......

Before Jing Ning finished speaking, Lan Yao interrupted, still smiling on her face, "Jing Ning, after you celebrate the New Year, you are going to marry Ah Yuan and her brother in early spring, is the wedding dress ready?" ”

Jing Ning was stunned, knowing that she was reluctant to say anything about Chen Zhi, so she didn't ask any more, and changed the topic according to her words, "It's done." ”

"Can you take it out for me and Kite to see?"

"Okay." Jing Ning gestured to Bihua, "Bihua, go and bring the wedding dress." ”

Bihua nodded, took out the wedding dress, and carefully displayed it in front of Lan Yao and Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan stood up in amazement, afraid that he would be clumsy and broken, and he didn't dare to step forward to touch it, "Jing Ning, you put it on and let me see it, I'll go back and talk to my brother, hehe." Xiao Yuan said coquettishly.

Jing Ning coughed lightly, and there seemed to be shyness on his face, "It's not too late for you to see it on the day you get married." Although she was talking to Xiao Yuan, her eyes were aimed at the silent Lan Yao. Unlike Xiao Kite's exclamation, Lan Yao just stared at the stack of fiery wedding dresses quietly and was silent.

"By the way, Jing Ning, do you remember the pot of ink chrysanthemum you gave me? Didn't my brother take it away in the end? Xiao Yuan only pursed her lips after hearing Jing Ning's refusal, and in the blink of an eye, she no longer worried about the wedding dress, but said to Jing Ning with a snicker.

"What happened to the pot of ink chrysanthemums?" Jing Ning asked.

"It's not winter, chrysanthemums are naturally going to fall. The pot of chrysanthemums also withered, but my brother didn't want to, and he kept asking people how to keep the flowers from falling. Xiao Yuan couldn't stop laughing when she thought of Xiao Rin, who usually looked very smart, being a fool in the past few days.

Jing Ning blushed, pretending to be calm and said: "It is the norm for flowers to wither in winter, and it will naturally come back to life in the spring of the next year." ”

"yes, but my stupid brother doesn't know." Xiao Yuan snickered.

Jing Ning smiled and asked Bihua to put the wedding dress back up.

By the time Lan Yao and Xiao Yuan came out of Jing Ning's house, the snow outside had stopped, and because it was light snow, the snow on the ground had not accumulated a lot, only a thin layer.

As soon as Xiao Yuan went out, a cold wind blew, she hurriedly tightened her clothes, turned her head and said to Jing Ning: "Jing Ning, you go back to the house first, it's cold outside." ”

Jing Ning nodded, stood at the door, and watched the figures of Xiao Yuan and Lan Yao disappear in front of him.

Lan Yao and Xiao Yuan separated at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lan Yao took the maid's hand into the carriage, and only after the carriage drove slowly did she let go of the left hand she had been holding, and there was a red mark.

From the moment Jing Ning mentioned 'Chen Zhi', her nails were tightly clasped in the palm of her hand and never let go. Some people say that ten fingers are connected to the heart, so it hurts a little here, and the heart doesn't hurt so much.

After so many days, after Qianqian told herself that Chen Zhi left, she felt that her heart was dead. After Grandpa learned that he already knew about Chen Zhi's departure, he tapped his reaction on the side for several days, and she only reacted lightly and pretended that she didn't understand. It is estimated that it is hidden, because grandpa has not paid so much attention to himself these days.

Chenzhi. Lan Yao muttered in his heart, this name, he will never have a chance to call it again. And the man in red won't answer her anymore.

After returning to the Fuguo Mansion, when the maid helped Lan Yao get out of the car, she inadvertently saw the red mark on her palm, and was startled, and was about to open her mouth but was glanced at by her young lady, and quickly stopped her mouth and pretended not to find anything.

Back in the house, Lan Yao quietly watched the maid apply medicine to his palm, and a cool feeling came from the wound, dissipating some of the pain. Lan Yao was in a trance, and suddenly thought of the scene when he bumped into Chen Zhi in the palace that day and was bullied by his concubine and gave Chen Zhi medicine. In a few days, it will be the New Year, and he will go to the palace, but Chen Zhi is no longer there, not in Zhao Kingdom.

After a few days, the New Year is coming.

Xiao Yuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion early to wait for Jing Ning to be with her, and then went to the Fuguo Mansion with Jing Ning, because Lan Qian was still very weak, so Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan didn't want Lan Qian to pick them up, so they simply went early and waited for them at the gate of the Fuguo Mansion.

The elders knew that these girls had a good relationship, so they let them be the masters and go to the palace together.

Because today is the New Year, the palace is particularly lively and warm.

Red lanterns hung on the promenade, one at intervals of one or two meters.

The lights are shining.

On the main hall.

The emperor and the queen have not yet arrived, only the officials and some female relatives have already arrived.

Jing Ning and the others came in and found that they had come a little early, so they sat together and chatted.

"Jing Ning, you are so beautiful today." Xiao Yuan looked at Jing Ning and said with a smile.

"Is there one?" Jing Ning looked down at his clothes, but they were more colorful than usual. I was still going to wear a plain dress today, but I was stopped by Bihua and said that I should wear brighter clothes to participate in the palace banquet in the New Year. After thinking about it for himself, he felt that there was some truth, so he asked Bihua to prepare for himself.

Lan Qian's pale little face in the past is now a little more ruddy, I don't know if it's because it's too lively today or something else. Lan Qian smiled, looked at it seriously and nodded, "Sister Jingning is already very good-looking, but she usually dresses too plainly, and now she feels very different when she wears some bright color clothes." ”

"My brother will be amazed when he sees it." Xiao Yuan laughed.
