And just like that, the new year begins.

The two children left, Qingquan Palace was a lot deserted, although Zhou Yixi often came over, but after all, he still had to go to school, and his temperament was not like Qingxi, and it was lively when Qingxi was not there.

Miao Li is still the same as before, sitting in the Qingquan Palace every day. If Qingxi is not there, he will go out even less.

Slowly, the weather warmed up, and her favorite season came again. When I got up in the morning to water the flowers, I saw that there was a touch of gold in the corner of the wall, and the spring flowers were blooming enthusiastically. Just wanted to go over and take a good look, Li Youfu jumped in from outside.

Li Youfu crawled behind her and said, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

Miaoli put down the water ladle and said, "I'm watering the flowers, why are you so happy?" ”

Li Youfu pretended to be mysterious, raised her head and said, "Guess? ”

Miao Li tilted her head and thought for a while, but she really couldn't think of why, so she simply said deliberately: "I can't guess, I don't want to know, I entered the house." ”

Li Youfu grabbed her and hurriedly said, "I said, I said, sister, don't do this." ”

Miao Li teased her as she walked into the house: "But I don't want to hear it, unless you beg me." ”

immediately changed the position of the two, passive to active.

Li Youfu chased after her, grabbed her hand and admitted her mistake, "Okay, okay, sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have deliberately sold Guanzi." I beg you, listen to me, okay? Please, please. ”

Miao Li had a little more smile on her face, and she knew that she would be like this. Jumping over, she must have wanted to tell her something, she didn't listen to Li Youfu before she was in a hurry, where did she need to guess.

Miaoli pretended to be compelled to do so, "Okay, I'll just barely listen to you." ”

The two had already entered the house, Li Youfu came over without eating breakfast, took a piece of snack and put it in her mouth at random, and said: "It's spring, I run to the imperial garden every day, and today I finally see what I want to see." ”

Miao Li said lightly: "The Imperial Garden is like that all year round, and it hasn't changed much. ”

"It's different, it's just different this year." Li Youfu looked at the spring flowers in the corner of the wall and said, "My sister's flowers are blooming every year, and my flowers are blooming for the first time this year." ”

Miao Li didn't know what she was talking about, and asked, "Your flowers?" ”

Li Youfu nodded in confirmation, "That's right, the two trees in the Imperial Garden are my flowers." ”

Miaoli remembered that Li Youfu and Qu Xingeng understood each other's minds through fragrant flowers, and Li Youfu should have valued those two trees and flowers very much. She still remembered this time, but she was not Li Youfu after all, and she didn't keep those two trees in her heart all the time, and she forgot about them after a long time.

Knowing why Li Youfu valued her so much, Miaoli deliberately teased her, "The palace belongs to the emperor, and everything in it is also the emperor." The tree in the Imperial Garden is naturally also the emperor's, when will it become yours? ”

Li Youfu heard her say this, and explained anxiously, "No, it's obvious that my sister knew that I liked it, so she let the emperor move into the palace, so it's mine." Otherwise, how could the emperor be so picky, how could he spend money on that kind of useless place, or for the sake of his sister's face. ”

Saying these words reminded Miao Li of the past. The time she let Zhou Shuxuan spend was the last time for them to be good, and then things went in an uncontrolled direction, and then there was no turning back, farther and farther away.

Suddenly remembered the eldest princess again, she hadn't even been able to say a few words properly since the last time they met, and she didn't know how many years it would take to meet again. To be honest, the thought that the eldest princess would be imprisoned to death, she felt a little sad. I think it's better for the eldest princess to go to the border to blow the wind than to stay in the capital.

Li Youfu didn't notice her abnormality, and continued: "But since that tree entered the palace, it hasn't bloomed. I've asked a lot of gardeners to see it, but this year, I saw that it seemed to have flower bones, and it would definitely bloom this year, so I was so happy. ”

For such a small thing to be happy like this, Miao Li didn't know what to say about her. He chimed in: "Then congratulations first, and when the flowers bloom, there will be a good celebration." ”

Miao Li was joking with her, but she didn't expect her to take it seriously.

"yes, gotta celebrate." Li Youfu held her head and thought for a while, as if she hadn't come up with anything, stood up and said, "When the time comes, I'll set up a small banquet and invite my sister to come over for dinner, and now I'll go back and think about what to eat at that time." ”

"There's no need for that, is it?" Miao Li was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's necessary, I'll go first." Li Youfu came and went in a hurry, as if she couldn't be at peace for the sake of the two trees.

Well, Miaoli can only go by her. When Li Youfu went out, she happened to meet Zhou Yixi coming over for lunch, and she ran away without even accepting Zhou Yixi's courtesy.

Zhou Yixi entered the door and asked Miaoli strangely, "Yi Niangniang, what's wrong with her?" ”

Miao Li smiled and said, "There are two trees in the palace that are about to bloom, and she is busy going back thinking about what to eat when she is in bloom and treating." ”

Zhou Yixi's first feeling was that Miaoli was lying to him, and felt that Li Youfu couldn't be so excited for such a naïve reason, and it was difficult to say it directly, so he asked again, "Is it true?" ”

"Absolutely."

Zhou Yixi scratched his head and said: "Erchen sometimes thinks that Yi Niangniang is not much older than Erchen, and she acts like a child. ”

"She's really not much older than you, and she's here to ......" Miao Li almost said out, "She's for what she cares about, exaggerating something normal." ”

Zhou Yixi suddenly thought of what Zhou Shuxuan said to him.

He especially likes Miaoli to make gadgets for him, to the point where he doesn't leave his hand wherever he goes, and he has been seen by Zhou Shuxuan several times. Zhou Shuxuan inevitably reprimanded, and told him that the more he cares about something, the more painful he will be when he loses it, so that he can restrain his feelings.

This is also Zhou Shuxuan's experience, but he didn't control himself.

Zhou Yilu reluctantly accepted. When school was out in the afternoon, Zhou Yixi also deliberately went to the Imperial Garden to hang around, wanting to see what kind of magical tree made Li Youfu so obsessed.

I searched for a long time but didn't find it, and I was about to go back and go to Miaoli's side, but when I turned around, I just met Li Youfu.

Li Youfu saw him step forward kindly, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go and do your homework? Or has it already been written? ”

Zhou Yixi didn't have the opportunity to salute, and he knew that she had always been like this, and she didn't need her to salute very much, so he answered her words directly, "Today, seeing Yi Niangniang hurriedly going out of Qingquan Palace, Erchen asked Meng Niangniang a few more questions, and she said that it was because there were two trees in the imperial garden that you value were about to bloom." Erchen didn't know what kind of tree it was, so he said to take a look. However, I didn't find it, and now I'm preparing to go back. ”

"I see, I'll take you over to see it." Li Youfu had no defense against him, and walked forward with him.

If you are good with Miaoli, you will be good with her, Li Youfu took Zhou Yixi forward.

Those two trees are very precious to her, so when she first entered the palace, she let people put them in an inconspicuous place, for fear that someone would inadvertently hurt them.

Zhou Yixi followed her across a rockery and a trail, and finally saw the two trees.

The flowers have not yet bloomed, but they are indeed budding trees. Zhou Yixi found that there were many knots on it, so he turned his head and asked, "Is this a knotted tree?" ”

"yes, you know?"

Zhou Yixi shook his head, "This is the first time I've seen it, and I've seen it in a book." A tree that can be knotted, I've only heard of it. ”

Li Youfu stepped forward and touched a knot. When she wanted to, she would sneak over and tie a knot in the tree. In every flower is her lovesickness, and I hope they can bloom beautifully. At that time, she must take some out to Qu Xingeng, and see that he still dares to say that she has not thought about him.

Li Youfu didn't answer her words, just looked at the tree in a daze. Zhou Yixi felt that she was also a little abnormal, this expression was too strange, Zhou Shuxuan occasionally showed such an expression, and he couldn't understand what they were thinking.

Zhou Yixi looked at the sky, and felt that it was darker again, and he couldn't stay here any longer, and he wouldn't be able to finish his homework after playing for a while. And if he doesn't go back on time, Miao Li will definitely look for him, not wanting her to worry.

Zhou Yixi bowed down and said, "Yi Niangniang, Erchen has to go back to do his homework." ”

Only then did Li Youfu come back to her senses, put away the expression on her face, and said, "Then you go back first, be careful on the road, and don't run around." ”

Zhou Yilu left after saluting, and Li Youfu herself wanted to stay here for a while longer, carefully inspecting each bud to make sure that they were all intact before reluctantly leaving.

If you don't have to go back to sleep, you might have something to do tomorrow. She wanted to stay here all night, watching the petals bloom and smell the first scent.

After she left, a person flashed out behind the rockery, Lin Yanchi had been standing here for a long time, and she followed them.

She was also wandering in the imperial garden just now, and saw Li Youfu and Zhou Yixi behaving intimately from a distance, and said a few words. Then when he saw Li Youfu, he took Zhou Yixi to a secluded place, and the two of them sneakily didn't know what to do.

Lin Yanchi was very curious, so he followed.

When I arrived at the place, I felt a little disappointed, and the two of them didn't do anything, just came to see the trees. Afraid of being discovered, a little far away, not being able to hear what they were saying.

Even if he didn't hear what they were talking about, Lin Yanchi could tell that Li Youfu liked the tree very much, as if she had surpassed her liking for objects.

She still has a little idea about Li Youfu, although she is not like Miaoli, but she doesn't want Li Youfu to live too long.

Last time, the Feng family was carried out of her palace, Li Youfu saw it and asked a few more questions. Even if she didn't show anything later, who knows if Li Youfu will talk about that incident at a critical moment in the future, she is a thief.

What you already know can't be called a hidden danger, this may be an opportunity to get rid of Li Youfu.
