Ji Qingli didn't know the dark tide in front of her, and she followed the direction pointed by the palace maid of Changning Palace to the back garden.

In the early winter, the purple and red in the back garden are wilted, and the plum trees stand straight in Xiao Su's garden. The cold condensation of the earth, the branches of the plum tree are decorated with buds, and when she looked closer, she found that a few green plums had quietly opened, and the dark fragrance was bursting, if there seemed to be nothing, she was on tiptoe to get closer to smell.

Helian Hao happened to pass by the back garden and wanted to go back to the side hall, and looked up inadvertently, but paused at his feet.

In the gray back garden, a touch of bright red like fire stands quietly in the budding plum tree, and the white side face can be seen from a distance close to a little green, the small nose moves slightly, and the shallow smile blooms, for a while, the whole back garden seems to be vivid, and he seems to hear the sound of plum blossoms opening.

Ji Qingli heard the sound and turned his head.

In an instant, a light white drifted down, and the first snow of early winter crept in.

The snow that year came a little early, and it caught people off guard, just like the fiery red that pierced Helian Hao's eyes.

The snow falls on the buds, and the green plums bloom slowly, and for a while, the plum blossoms seem to bloom for a day.

Ji Qingli walked towards him, stood still in front of him, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

Helian Hao glanced at her, snowflakes fell on her eyelashes, like white butterflies, and he heard his own voice: "I'm Helian Hao." ”

"Helian Hao......" Ji Qingli felt that the name was familiar, wrinkled his nose, seemed to be thinking, and quickly raised his head to look at him again, "Fourth Prince Helian Hao?"

"Yes. ”

"Aren't you cold?" he thought she would be like everyone else when she heard the fourth prince with a disdainful or perfunctory look, but she didn't expect her to ask a question that he didn't expect.

"Huh?"

"Aren't you cold when you wear so little?" she asked again, her eyes a little puzzled, pure and bright.

He shook his head. The year his mother died, he no longer knew what it was like to be cold. After so many years, his heart is like an ice cellar, how can he feel cold.

She suddenly reached out and touched the side of his face, and said in a serious tone: "Your face is cold." ”

He tilted his face suddenly, and his dark and cold eyes showed a little surprise and embarrassment.

After a while, a faint color of blood appeared on her face, and the face that she had touched on that side was like a fire and seemed to have thousands of ants crawling over, hot and itchy, and the four princes, who had always been indifferent, did not dare to look at her for a while.

She didn't care. She followed her father in the army since she was a child, most of the men in the barracks were men, and everyone treated her as a child, and the six sons of the little soldiers in the barracks were about the same age as her, and she would also probe his brain when he was sick, and she didn't think there was anything wrong. So when she touched the face of the fourth prince just now, she didn't feel anything.

Judging by his reaction, it is estimated that he doesn't like her touch very much.

She withdrew her hand in a daze, thinking to herself that the people in the palace were noble.

Helian Hao came back to his senses and looked at her with a calm expression, and then realized that he had just been molested.

Looking at her expression, it doesn't look like it's intentional.

"County Lord, Mrs. Ji is looking for you. "A palace maid came in a hurry.

"Oh. Ji Qingli responded, brushed his side and followed the palace maid.

The faint fragrance of plum blossoms faintly dispersed as her figure swayed, and the person had already walked away, but the faint fragrance still seemed to linger in his nose, and for a moment, he couldn't tell whether the fragrance came from her or the green plums that were blooming in the garden.
