concubines

Chapter 319

And just like that, the new year begins.

After the two children left, the Qingquan Palace became quite deserted. Although Zhou Yi Ning came here often, he still had to go to school after all, and he didn't have the temperament like Qingxi. It was lively when Qingxi was not around.

Miao Li is still the same as before, sitting idle in Qingquan Palace every day.When Qingxi was away, he seldom went out.

Slowly, the weather got warmer and her favorite season came again.When I watered the flowers in the morning, I saw a touch of gold in the corner of the wall, and the winter jasmine was blooming enthusiastically.Just when she 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?"

Miao Li put down the water ladle and said, "I'm watering the flowers, what's so happy about it?"

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

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

Li Youfu grabbed her tightly, and quickly said: "I said, I said, sister, don't do this."

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

Immediately changed the positions of the two, from passive to active.

Li Youfu chased after her, grabbed her hand and admitted her mistake, "Okay, sis, I was wrong, I shouldn't be trying to be tricky. I beg you, listen to me, okay? Please, please."

There was a little smile on Miao Li's face, and she knew that she would be like this.Jumping over, he must have wanted to tell her something, she was only in a hurry if she didn't listen to Li Youfu, she needed to guess.

Miao Li pretended to have no choice but to say, "Okay then, I will forcefully listen to you."

The two had already entered the house, Li Youfu came over without having breakfast, casually took a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, and said: "Spring is here, I run to the imperial garden every day, and today I finally see you It's gone."

Miao Li said lightly: "The imperial garden is the same all year round, there is not much change."

"It's different, this year is different." Li Youfu looked at the winter jasmine flowers in the corner and said, "My sister's flowers bloom every year, but this is the first time mine blooms."

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

Li Youfu nodded to confirm, "That's right, the two fragrant flowers in the imperial garden are my flowers."

Miao Li remembered that Li Youfu and Qu Xingeng had exchanged their hearts through the fragrant flowers. Li Youfu should value the two tree flowers very much.She still remembered what happened during this period, but she was not Li Youfu after all, she didn't keep those two trees in her heart all the time, and she forgot after a long time.

Knowing why Li Youfu valued it so much, Miao Li deliberately teased her, "The imperial palace belongs to the emperor, and all the things inside belong to the emperor. Naturally, the trees in the imperial garden also belong to the emperor. When will it become yours?"

Hearing what she said, Li Youfu explained in a hurry, "No, it was obviously my sister who let the emperor move into the palace because she knew I liked it, so it was mine. Otherwise, how could such a stingy emperor spend money there?" Such a useless place, I still look at my sister's face."

Saying these words reminded Miaoli of the past.The time she let Zhou Shu Xuan Yi spend was their last good time, and then things went in an uncontrollable direction, and then they couldn't turn back, and they went further and further away.

Suddenly I thought of the eldest princess again. After the last meeting, I couldn't even say a few words properly. I don't know how long it will be until we meet again.To be honest, she felt a little sad when she thought that the eldest princess would be imprisoned to death.I think it is better for the eldest princess to go to the border to enjoy the wind than to stay in the capital.

Li Youfu didn't notice her abnormality, and continued: "But the tree hasn't bloomed since it entered the palace. I asked many gardeners to look at it, but it was useless. Only this year, I saw that it seemed to have grown flower buds. It will definitely bloom this year, so I'm so happy."

Miao Li didn't know what to say for being so happy for such a small thing.Then he echoed: "Then congratulate you first, and celebrate it when it blooms."

Miao Li was joking with her, but unexpectedly she took it seriously.

"Yeah, I have to celebrate." Li Youfu supported her head and thought for a while, but she didn't seem to come up with anything, she stood up and said, "I will hold a small banquet for my sister to eat, now go back and think about the time to eat what."

"It's not necessary, is it?" Miao Li was a little surprised.

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

Well, Miao Li can only let her go.When Li Youfu was going out, she happened to meet Zhou Yining over for lunch, and ran away without even accepting Zhou Yining's gift.

Zhou Yining entered the door and asked Miaoli strangely, "What's wrong with Madam Yi?"

Miao Li smiled and said: "There are two trees in the palace that are about to bloom, and she is busy going back to think about what to eat when they bloom to treat guests."

Zhou Yining's first feeling was that Miao Li was lying to him. He felt that it was impossible for Li Youfu to be so excited for such a childish reason, and he couldn't say it directly, so he asked again, "Is it true?"

"It's true."

Zhou Yi Ning scratched his head and said, "I sometimes feel that Niang Yi is not much older than I, and acts like a child."

"She's really not much older than you, and she's doing it for..." Miao Li almost slipped her tongue, "She's doing it for what she cares about, so it's normal to exaggerate."

Zhou Yining suddenly thought of what Zhou Shuxuan had said to him.

He especially likes Miaoli making gadgets for him, to the point where he never leaves his hands, Zhou Shuxuan has seen him several times.Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help but reprimanded him, and told him that the more he cared about something, the more painful it would be when he lost it, so he asked him to restrain his emotions.

This can be regarded as Zhou Shuxuan's experience, but he didn't control himself well.

Zhou Yining reluctantly accepted.When school was over in the afternoon, Zhou Yining went to the Royal Garden to wander around, wanting to see what kind of magical tree Li Youfu was so obsessed with.

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

Seeing him approaching kindly, Li Youfu patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you doing here? Why don't you do your homework? Or have you finished it?"

Zhou Yi Ning didn't have a chance to salute, and knew that she had always been like this, so she didn't really need her to salute, so he answered her directly, "Looking at Niang Niang hurriedly leaving Qingquan Palace today, I will pay more attention to Niang Niang. After asking a few more questions, she said it was because two trees you valued in the Royal Garden were about to bloom. I didn’t know what kind of trees they were, so I asked to have a look. But I couldn’t find them, and I’m planning to go back now.”

"So that's how it is. I'll take you there to see it." Li Youfu didn't have any defense against him, and walked forward with him.

Be nice to Miaoli, just be nice to her, Li Youfu led Zhou Yining forward.

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

Zhou Yining followed her across a rockery and a path, and finally saw the two trees.

The flowers haven't opened yet, but they are indeed Kazuki buds.Zhou Yiting noticed that there were many knots on it, so he turned around and asked, "Is this a knotted tree?"

"Yeah, you know him?"

Zhou Yi Ning shook his head, "This is the first time I've seen it in a book. I've only heard of the tree that can tie knots."

Li Youfu stepped forward and touched a knot.When she thinks about Qu Xingeng, she will sneak over and tie a knot on this tree.Every flower is her lovesickness, I hope they can bloom brilliantly.At that time, she must bring some out to Qu Xingeng, to see if he dares to say that she has not thought about him.

Li Youfu didn't answer her own words, just stared at the tree in a daze.Zhou Yining felt that she was also a little abnormal. This expression was really strange. Zhou Shuxuan would show such an expression occasionally, and he couldn't understand what the adults were thinking.

Zhou Yiting glanced at the sky and felt that it was getting dark again. He couldn't stay here any longer, and he couldn't finish his homework after playing for a while.And if he doesn't go back on time, Miao Li will definitely look for him, and doesn't want her to worry.

Zhou Yining bowed and said, "Mistress Yi, my son has to go back and 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 Yi Ning left after saluting, and Li Youfu herself had to stay here for a while, carefully inspecting every bud, and only after making sure that they were in good condition did she reluctantly leave.

If I hadn't had to go back to sleep, I might still be busy tomorrow.She really wanted to stay here all night, watching the petals bloom and smelling the first scent of flowers.

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

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

Lin Yanchi was very curious and followed behind.

I felt a little disappointed when I got there. The two of them didn't do anything, they just came to look at the tree.Afraid of being found far away, I can't hear what they are saying clearly.

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

She still has some thoughts about Li Youfu, although not as much as she does about Miaoli, but she doesn't want Li Youfu to live too long.

The last time Feng Shi was carried out from her palace, Li Youfu saw it and asked a few more questions.Even if she didn't show anything in the end, who knows if Li Youfu will use that incident as an excuse at a critical moment in the future, she has a guilty conscience after all.

What is already known cannot be called a hidden danger, and this may be an opportunity to get rid of Li Youfu.
