"Knock! knock!" there were three knocks at the door. "Who's knocking?" asked a female voice in the room.

"It's me, Mei Yuanchen. Mei Yuanchen replied.

"The county lord is the second son of Yuanchen. Wisteria approached Xia Chengyi and asked, "Are you going to open the door?"

I thought that my brother would go to say goodbye to his mother when he came back, and Xia Chengyi went to his mother's room early in the afternoon to wait. finally waited for his brother to come over, and was about to find him to settle the old account of the tail feathers of the owl-tailed Xuanfeng. Unexpectedly, my mother actually favored my brother and scolded herself for being rude and ignorant. Xia Chengyi couldn't stand such grievances, turned his head and went back to the boudoir, and asked the girl Wisteria to lock the door, refusing to see anyone, not even going to dinner. At this time, when I heard Mei Yuanchen coming to knock on the door, I was bored, I didn't want to see him, but I remembered that he was my brother-in-law, so I said to Wisteria, "It's not him who makes me angry, what do you want him to do." Go open the door. ”

Mei Yuanchen was the first time to Xia Chengyi's boudoir, and his expression was quite restrained. Seeing that Xia Chengyi still had an angry face, he leaned towards himself and sat in front of the dressing table, stepped forward, and said softly, "Yiyi, don't be angry, I will persuade Chengxuan to apologize to you when I turn around, okay?" Xia Chengyi didn't look at him, and replied, "You just brag, how could he listen to you!" Hearing Xia Chengyi reply to his words, Mei Yuanchen was overjoyed, and said, "It's true." Anyway, I'm going to think of a way for him to apologize to you, so don't be angry first. Don't you like birds? I bought you a peacock clay puppet from Fang City, do you want to take a look?" After speaking, he took out a small brocade box from behind him and handed it to Xia Chengyi. Xia Chengyi heard that it was a peacock and a mud puppet, both of which he liked, and immediately turned around, and saw Mei Yuanchen handing over the brocade box and looking at him with a smile, lowered his head and stretched out his hand, and said, "Just show me." Mei Yuanchen saw it and hurriedly put the brocade box in her hand.

Xia Chengyi opened the brocade box and saw that it was a beautiful bird two inches tall and about three inches long dragging a green tail, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and praised gently, "This bird is so beautiful, I haven't seen it yet!" Mei Yuanchen looked at it, and was a little stupid, and didn't know how to answer. I only heard Xia Chengyi ask, "Is this bird called a peacock?" Mei Yuanchen eased up in time and said with a smile, "Yes, there is a name under the clay puppet seat." Xia Chengyi turned the clay puppet over, and when he saw the word "peacock", he looked up at Mei Yuanchen, then at the clay puppet, and said softly "Thank you". Since they met, Mei Yuanchen has seen that Xia Chengyi has always been more than spicy, and not gentle enough, at this time, seeing that her speech seemed to be quite different from usual, she felt quite strange, and replied, "What's that! If you like it, I'll give you another one next time I come back." ”

After resigning from Xia Chengyi, Mei Yuanchen took back another brocade box from the little maid and went straight back to Yuqiong Langyuan. When I arrived in front of the porch, between the swaying lights, I saw Begonia waiting there in a pink jacket and skirt, and hurriedly stepped forward and said happily, "Begonia, it's still cold, why aren't you in the house?" Mei Yuanchen hadn't seen her for half a month, and he was most worried, but when he saw her at this moment, he naturally went to hold her hand, pulled her and said happily, "Let's go, go back to your room and talk!" Haitang was held by Mei Yuanchen, and there was a burst of nervousness and joy in his heart, and he pulled him inside.

"Begonia, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Mei Yuanchen hurriedly said as soon as he sat down. Haitang poured Mei Yuanchen a cup of hot tea, then sat down slowly, looked at him with an excited face, and was very happy in his heart, and said sticky, "Fourteen days." "Yes, we have never been apart for so long!" Mei Yuanchen sighed, thinking that she had been alone in the palace for the past fourteen days, she must have been very lonely, and she couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay here?" "What's wrong with it." Begonia lowered her head and replied softly. Since his parents left the palace, Mei Yuanchen has always felt that Begonia is the closest person to him, and he always has an unspeakable feeling of being attached to her.

"Begonia, I brought you a little gadget, see if you like it or not. Mei Yuanchen said, took out a brocade box that was the same as before from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Haitang. Haitang was happy again, pursed her lips and gently took it, and looked at it carefully. Seeing that she didn't dismantle it, Mei Yuanchen smiled and said, "Why don't you dismantle it?" Haitang looked up and saw Mei Yuanchen's eyes blazing, so he hurriedly lowered his head and replied "Oh". When he opened the brocade box, he saw that there was a delicate female clay puppet about three inches high, and his thoughts were overflowing for a while, and he was in a mess, "What's wrong with the son? Holding my hand and giving me a clay puppet, doesn't he know that sending a female puppet to the girl's house is a courtship? He is not yet 16 years old, but he has not yet reached the age of marriage." Besides, the old lady did not say clearly about the marriage date of the two of us. Just thinking about it, Mei Yuanchen asked, "Do you like it?"

Begonia gently held the clay puppet in her hand and hummed softly, "Hmm".

Mei Yuanchen heard that Begonia also likes clay puppets, and said happily, "That's good! Every time I come back in the future, I'll give you one, okay?" Begonia's face became more and more ruddy, and when he heard Mei Yuanchen ask, he simply replied with the word "um". Mei Yuanchen was sitting opposite her on both sides of the small square, no more than three feet apart, and she could clearly see Haitang's face at the moment through the light, but she felt that her mind was shaking. "What's wrong with me?" Mei Yuanchen pinched himself hard, blaming himself in his heart, and didn't know how to say for a while.

Haitang was flustered, and when she saw Mei Yuanchen sitting and was silent for a long time, she asked, "Why didn't you speak all of a sudden?"

"I don't know what to say, so I'll listen to you, okay?" Mei Yuanchen smiled awkwardly.

In the past ten days, Haitang has only chatted with Xia Chengyi in this palace, and her life has been boring and tight. Thinking of the past, getting along with Mei Yuanchen every day, washing for him, grinding ink for him, making him his favorite snacks, arguing with him and making him boring, and letting him teach him to read and write, it was really fun. Unconsciously looked at Mei Yuanchen, and saw that he was also looking at him, and he looked at each other and hurriedly avoided it.

For a while, there was silence in the room, and the two of them each felt that their feelings for each other were different, and it was indescribable.

A gust of wind blew from the window to the two, seemingly with a little warmth, it was really winter before it went, and spring had arrived.
