In March, the weather in Tokyo is gradually warming, and the cold winter seems to have quietly left, and the footsteps of spring have inadvertently arrived.

Pink buds and pale green shoots also gradually appear on the dead branches of the otherwise bare cherry blossom tree, bringing a touch of life to the cherry blossom tree that has endured the winter all day.

March Yayoi is also known as the cherry blossom moon in Japan, and in this month, there is the Hadesa Festival on March 3, the cherry blossom festival that starts on March 15 and ends on April 15, and the spring equinox on March 20. Among them, the most important thing for Japanese people is the cherry blossom festival.

Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan. "If you want to ask the soul of Yamato, look at the mountain cherry blossoms under the morning sun." Cherry blossoms have been around in Japan for more than 1,000 years, and the Japanese believe that life is short and that life should be as brilliant as cherry blossoms. Moreover, the cherry blossoms are warm, pure, and noble, and after the harsh winter, they are the first to bring news of spring.

Cherry blossoms bloom for a short period of time, and there is a saying that "cherry blossoms are seven days", that is, cherry blossoms only have seven days from bloom to bloom. Cherry blossoms always wither in an instant when they are at their most blooming. The splendor and withering of this resoluteness, just like the withering of life at the most beautiful time, shocks people's hearts. This is the spirit of cherry blossoms, which is what the Japanese call the "cherry blossom complex".

This is a time when Japanese people choose to go out to enjoy cherry blossoms, and it is also a great time to praise nature and relax. Cherry blossoms also symbolize love and hope, and it is said that you will be blessed if you confess to your loved one under the cherry blossom tree during the cherry blossom festival.

Nana Hashimoto deliberately got up early today, which can be said to be a very rare thing for her who can barely be early.

Nana Hashimoto, who got up early, deliberately dressed herself up, and put on a pale pink fur sleeve with a fiery red fur shawl over her shoulders. The originally neat short hair was also deliberately coiled up, and a golden step that had turned red gold was inserted. This is a gift from Ruodie on Daughter's Day a few days ago, and it is said that it is a congratulatory gift for Qianye to congratulate her on moving to a new house, along with the kimono she is wearing at the moment.

When the kimono was delivered, Wakadie said that Senya would invite her to go cherry blossom viewing together, which made Nanami Hashimoto very happy.

At this moment, Nanami Hashimoto has moved out of the cheap apartment he rented and lived in a high-end apartment in Minato Ward introduced by Wakadie. Compared with the previous small and old low-cost apartments, the current apartments are undoubtedly much more spacious and comfortable, and the privacy and safety of the residents are well guaranteed by the comprehensive security measures.

With Nana Hashimoto's income as a girl idol, she couldn't afford to live in such a high-end apartment, but because of Ruodie's introduction, the rent here is not higher than Nanami Hashimoto's affordability, and it is even cheaper than the cheap apartment she originally rented. This made Nana Hashimoto very grateful, and specially invited Ruodie to dinner as a thank you.

Nana Hashimoto, who had dressed herself properly, went out with some anticipation in her heart, and downstairs in the apartment, a black sedan was already waiting.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto did not come down, the driver who was originally standing aside hurriedly opened the door for Nana Hashimoto, and only after Nana Hashimoto did not sit in the car did he carefully close the door for her.

Sitting in the car, Nana Hashimoto lowered her head a little shyly, not daring to look at Qianye who was looking at her with burning eyes.

"Ruodie's vision is good, this kimono is very suitable for you to wear." There was a bit of amazement in Qianye's eyes, and he praised Nana Hashimoto, who had deliberately dressed up today, "Nanamin, you are so beautiful today." ”

Qianye's praise made Nanami Hashimoto even more shy, she lowered her head, feeling that her cheeks were a little hot, but she still asked in a low voice, "Qianye, are we dating today?" ”

"Someone invited me to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but Ruodie's identity is not very convenient, so I have to trouble Nanamin, you as my female companion, to accompany me." Qianye's voice was as cold as ever, but it revealed that he was not spoiled by Nana Hashimoto.

Although Qianya's words made Nanami Hashimoto feel a little disappointed in her heart, she was quickly happy to be able to enjoy the cherry blossoms with Qianya. Nana Hashimoto didn't remember that last night when she told Mai Shiraishi that she was going to enjoy the cherry blossoms with Senya today, Mai Shiraishi told herself that if she confessed under the cherry blossom tree, she would get the blessing of the cherry blossoms, and let the two people who love each other be together forever, and secretly decided to seize the opportunity today.

"Qianye, where are we going to enjoy the cherry blossoms today?" Nana Hashimoto suddenly remembered that she didn't know today's destination, so she asked Qianye curiously, "Won't anyone photograph me with you?" Speaking of which, Nanami Hashimoto was also a little worried in his heart, although when he asked Qianye this question before, he said not to worry, but Nanami Hashimoto was always a little worried.

Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was a little worried, and suddenly pointed at her eyebrows, and whispered: "Dreams are true." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't feel a strange sensation spread from Chiya's fingers to her face, but it quickly disappeared. Nana Hashimoto touched her cheek curiously, but she didn't feel anything wrong, so she took out a mirror from her bag and looked at her face.

"Ahh The appearance in the mirror made Nana Hashimoto exclaim, because the mirror reflected a face that was very similar to her, but different and more mature. If you weren't very familiar with her, you would never think that the person in the mirror would be Nanami Hashimoto.

"Chiya, what's going on?" Nana Hashimoto looked at herself in the mirror in surprise, and couldn't help but ask Qianye curiously.

Chiya stroked the tips of Nanami Hashimoto's hair and explained with a smile: "It's just a little illusion, even if someone is photographed now, it will only think that it is a person who looks very similar to you, so don't worry." Nana Hashimoto looked at her similar but different appearance in the mirror, nodded reassuringly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

A black sedan drove through the streets of Tokyo, and the streetscape flashed by from the window. Nanami Hashimoto looked out the window at the bustling streets of Tokyo and sighed in his heart. At this time last year, when she was still in her hometown in Hokkaido, she quarreled with her mother over the matter of going to Beijing, and now she went to enjoy cherry blossoms with her beloved on the streets of Tokyo, and Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but feel the wonder of fate.

Looking at the street scene outside the car window, the attentive Nana Hashimoto didn't realize that they had arrived in Chiyoda Ward, so she turned to Chiyoya and asked, "Chiya, are we going to Chidorigafuchi to enjoy cherry blossoms?" ”

Qianye smiled and shook his head: "You'll know when you arrive, and now I'll tell you, you won't dare to go if you're afraid." ”

"Don't dare to go? Is there any place I wouldn't dare to visit? Nana Hashimoto asked Chiya a little coquettishly. This unconventional style made Qianye couldn't help but be stunned and stunned.

"What are you looking at? Seeing it so fascinating? Nana Hashimoto didn't see Qianya staring at herself intently, and asked puzzled.

Qianye stared at the beautiful and incomprehensible Nanami Hashimoto, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and said, "I'm looking at the most beautiful treasure in the world." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't hear this, so she couldn't help but tilt her head and said coquettishly, "Am I that good-looking?" ”

"Of course, you can't see enough for another five hundred years." Qianye's words echoed in Nanami Hashimoto's ears, making her feel sweet in her heart.

At this time, the black sedan that the two of them were riding in had already passed through Kitanomaru Park, but it did not stop, and Nana Hashimoto was not a little puzzled: "Kitanomaru Park has passed, aren't we going to Chidorigafuchi for a thousand nights?" ”

Qianye shook her head, let go of Nanami Hashimoto in her arms, and carefully tidied up the clothes that were a little wrinkled by herself for her: "There are too many people in Chidorigafuchi, I don't like places with too many people." ”

Looking out the window at the Museum of Science and Technology and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, Nanami Hashimoto felt a little strange. The best place to see cherry blossoms in Chiyoda Ward is Chidorigafuchi in Kitanomaru Park, and there are no other famous places for cherry blossom viewing, so they came here but did not go to Chidorigafuchi, which made Nanami Hashimoto deeply puzzled.

Feeling that the speed of the car had slowed down, Nana Hashimoto did not think that she had reached her destination, so she looked out the window of the car, only to find that the black sedan they were riding in was passing through an old gate, and not only that, but there were also standing security guards and sideways roadblocks in front of the gate.

Nana Hashimoto's eyes widened, and she looked at Qianye in disbelief: "Qianya, this is going to ...... Imperial Palace? ”

"Since the Edo period, the Imperial Family has invited me to the palace every year to enjoy the cherry blossoms." Senya nodded, acknowledging Nanami Hashimoto's guess and explaining, "It's just that after I moved this Taisha shrine to Edo Castle, I didn't go there much because of the inconvenience of the road. After Emperor Meiji moved his capital to Tokyo, he still invited me to the palace every year to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but because I was born in China and hated the cabinet that started the war at the time, I haven't entered the Imperial Palace since the Meiji era. So even though the emperors of the past have invited me to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I haven't been to the Imperial Palace for a long time. ”

"Qianye, did you have such a close relationship with the royal family?" Senya's introduction frightened Nana Hashimoto a little, after all, even after the war, the "Human Declaration" was promulgated to remove the mythological color of the emperor, but in the hearts of the Japanese people, the emperor is still a sacred symbol. According to surveys, the emperor still retains more than 80% of the popular approval rating in Japan. Nanami Hashimoto, who was born in an ordinary family in Hokkaido, really can't imagine that she will one day be involved with the imperial family.

"Since the Heian period, I have always protected the imperial family. Otherwise, during the shogunate era, no one dared to replace the imperial family when it fell to that point, do you think it was really just the majesty of the imperial family? Qianye smiled, and said to Nanami Hashimoto with some ill intentions: "Besides, not only am I close to the royal family, but Nanamin, you also know people from the royal family." ”

"I know too? What are you kidding, how do I know someone from the royal family? Nana Hashimoto didn't believe it.

At this time, the black car they were riding in had already stopped in the north car of the Nagawa Hall in the Imperial Palace, and a hint of a pretended mysterious smile appeared on Chiya's face, and he did not explain, but motioned to Nana Hashimoto not to look outside the car.

Before the staircase to the north, someone was waiting for their arrival. Nana Hashimoto did not recognize it as Prince Fumihito Akishinomiya, the second son of the current emperor, and his family. A young girl standing behind Prince Fumihito caught the attention of Nanami Hashimoto: "Kako?!" ”
