After they dispersed, the concubines left in twos and threes, and the princes also went to their mother's palace to talk. After the palace banquet, he will return home.

At this time every year, the emperor will summon some key members of the royal family as usual to express his cordial condolences one by one. It is not convenient to go to Qianqing Palace at this time.

The prince and Xie Yunshu had nowhere to go.

The prince smiled and said: "The gardeners in the palace are all very talented. I think the plum blossoms in the Plum Garden have bloomed a lot. How about I take you to have a look? Although there are some in the East Palace, they are not as good as those in the Imperial Garden."

Xie Yunshu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Xie Yunshu couldn't help but think, without her in previous years, what would happen to the prince at this time? In fact, it's not just this moment, there are similar situations in other things and other times. So what about the Crown Prince?
  No matter how much the emperor favored him, he could only reward him more, summon him to speak more, and praise him more to express his satisfaction. How could the emperor next to him expect to get it? It is impossible to pay attention to these small things in detail.

There are many important and important matters waiting for the emperor to make a decision!

The prince squeezed Xie Yunshu's hand, leaned close to Xie Yunshu and said softly: "Shu'er, do you feel sorry for Gu? Gu is not that miserable. Just think about how they are worse than Gu in many ways, and Gu will feel comfortable."

Xie Yunshu was amused by him and laughed out loud. She felt relieved and turned her head to look at him: "The prince is very good at comforting himself."

"It won't be necessary from now on," the prince smiled, "I will have Shu'er to accompany me from now on."

Xie Yunshu's heart softened, and she nodded with a smile on her lips: "Yes, I will accompany the prince from now on. No matter what, I can relieve my boredom."

The prince smiled and said, "It is enough for me to have Shu'er by my side to relieve my boredom."

The two smiled at each other.

The prince raised his hand and gently smoothed her hair on the temples, then moved his hand down to hold her hand.

The plum garden was right in front of her, and the fiery red plum blossoms were blooming on the branches, like steaming clouds and rouge. Xie Yunshu's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but admire it.

No wonder the prince said that the gardener in the palace was very capable, and he turned out to be quite good at first sight.

This plum garden is about three acres, with a brick and stone foundation in the middle that is more than one and a half meters high, and a plum blossom viewing pavilion with hexagonal eaves, colorful paintings and carvings built on it. The plum viewing pavilion is surrounded by red plum trees, and it looks like a line from a distance. landscape.

Xiao Lan, Aunt You and other sensible people did not follow him and stopped to stand. The two of them stepped into the plum garden. For a moment, the shadows of flowers lingered in front and behind them, and the faint fragrance floated. Thousands of flowers were pressed on the branches, and the trees were as fragrant as picturesque. Xie Yunshu raised her hand and caressed the flower branches. She was in a good mood when she saw the delicate flowers blooming in full bloom.

In the eyes of the prince, people are more beautiful than flowers.

His eyes were glued to Xie Yunshu's face, lips and the pair of black and clear eyes. His eyes gradually became gentle without realizing it, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled lightly.

The wind blows, the branches of the trees are swaying, the fragrance dances, and a few small and bright red petals fall silently on Xie Yunshu's hair.

The prince raised his hand and brushed it gently. Xie Yunshu raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes fell into his deep pool-like black eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.

The prince chuckled lightly, couldn't help but put his arms around her and lowered his head to kiss her.

When the two of them separated, their breaths were a little unsteady. The prince lowered his head and rubbed her forehead, caressing her face lovingly and tenderly with one hand.

Xie Yunshu's face gradually turned red like a branch of red plum, and became hot and hot. "No," she cowardly said, stepping back slightly, holding the prince's hand and brushing it down, "We'll talk about it when we get back. Don't let others see it here."

The prince chuckled: "Well, let's talk about it when we get back!"

Xie Yunshu wanted to bite off her tongue, her face became even redder, and she was annoyed and angry at him.

The prince chuckled, hugged her into his arms and kissed her, "Don't worry, no one will come now. Xiaolan and the others are still waiting outside. If anyone comes, they will naturally report it."

This is true, Xie Yunshu is slightly relieved.

The prince picked off two red plums the size of copper coins and gently tied them into the bun of Xie Yunshu's hair. The oily black hair reflected a touch of bright red in winter, which was particularly eye-catching.

The two walked slowly for a while, and snowflakes started to fall in the sky. Fine velvet-like snowflakes circled and fell from the sky, falling silently. The crystal-clear edelweiss fell on the flower branches, stained on the bun and shoulders, and soon gathered into a thin layer.

Xie Yunshu stretched out her hand and opened her palm, letting little bits of velvet fall into it, and smiled happily: "It's snowing! This snow comes at the right time! The white snow and red plum trees are the most beautiful!"

The prince smiled and said: "If it snows harder, the plum garden will be more beautiful tomorrow. We also have some in our garden. I will go and see them with Shu'er tomorrow."

"Well, let's ask the kitchen to prepare a hot hot pot. It's better to eat hot pot after visiting the Plum Garden! Yesterday, we had fresh venison sent from Huangzhuang. Let's eat this tomorrow! Let's make a mushroom pot with clear soup. There are winter bamboo shoots, ham, fried bells, bean sprouts, and I’ll ask someone to prepare some thinly sliced ​​mutton slices and a few boneless duck feet.”

In this kind of weather, you should appease your stomach with delicious food. The prince felt a little greedy and said yes with a smile.

In previous years, he had no interest in making special arrangements for a delicious meal that suited the weather, but it was different now. Things that two people did together were always more interesting than alone, and it also gave people more to look forward to.

The two laughed and discussed the food, and the snow gradually became heavier without realizing it. It still swirled down silently, but the branches and ground turned white much faster.

The prince held Xie Yunshu's slightly cold fingers and said, "Let's go, it's still a little cold here. Ask Aunt You to accompany you to Xin Bin's place to have a cup of hot tea and warm up by the fire."

She has nowhere to go when she enters the palace today. No matter where she goes to sit in the palace of the concubines, she will be fine, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. only--

"Where is the prince?"

The prince smiled and said: "Don't worry about Gu. Don't you know how to take care of yourself? There are many free rooms in the palace. Gu can take shelter wherever he wants. Ask someone to find a charcoal brazier and prepare a pot of hot tea. yes."

With no one paying attention to him, should she just stay there in vain? When he opens his mouth to give orders, who dares to fail to do so with all his heart?
  It's just that the rooms in the palace are spacious, and the palace rooms where no one is usually there are even more cold. Even if someone adds a brazier temporarily, it won't be much warmer. This kind of treatment is really unfair to the noble prince.

Just because the prince didn't care much doesn't mean he wasn't aggrieved.

Xie Yunshu didn't want to go to Xin's place. The prince insisted again and again, so she had no choice but to go with Aunt You.

Xinbi's Jingyang Palace was warm as spring, luxurious and gorgeous. As soon as she entered, the warm fragrance hit her face, and she felt slightly hot, so she had to quickly take off her outer clothes.

Concubine Xin was wearing a soft palace dress embroidered with silver and red plum blossoms. She couldn't help but hold Xie Yunshu's arm and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time, and the Crown Princess is finally here!" (End of Chapter)
