As soon as Lian Zhi walked into the imperial garden, Wen Yunxi saw her: "Wanyang, come over here quickly." Lian Zhi looked at Wen Yunxi. Next to Wen Yunxi were Ji Wanyi and Xiao Yunwei. The three of them were sitting on the stone table.

beside.

When Lian Zhi approached, Wen Yunxi pulled her to sit down. Ji Wanyi had never had much contact with Lian Zhi and was not familiar with her, so she just said hello politely. Xiao Yunwei and Lian Zhi were at the lantern festival last time

We got to know each other online and exchanged a few more words.

Wen Yunxi took out a wooden box and handed it to Lian Zhi: "This is a New Year's gift from Mr. Gu. He couldn't enter the palace, so he asked Wanyi to bring it to us."

Lian Zhi was a little surprised: "Gu Shiqi?"

Wen Yunxi nodded: "Open it quickly and take a look. We haven't seen yours yet."

Lian Zhi opened the small wooden box at Wen Yunxi's urging. Inside was a carved bracelet. Lian Zhi took out the bracelet and took a closer look: "It's a lotus flower."

"Mr. Gu is so thoughtful. The bracelets given to each of us are of different colors. The bracelet for me has hosta flowers on it, and the bracelet for Wanyi has peach blossoms on it." Wen Yunxi stared at the bracelet in Lian Zhi's hand,

"Your lotus flower is also very beautiful."

Lian Zhi put the bracelet back into the wooden box and closed the lid again: "How many people has Mr. Gu given New Year's gifts to?"

"A lot of people have been sent away, not to mention the three of us, but also brother Wanyi, my brother, brother Prince, and even Han Feng." Wen Yunxi replied.

Wen Zhiyuan, Wen Zhilan, Ji Nanyi, Hanfeng and Lianzhi were a little confused: "Are they all bracelets?"

"What was given to us was a bracelet, and what was given to the man was a jade pendant. The patterns on the jade pendants are also different. It is not very precious to say that it is precious, but it is rare that the carving is outstanding. Mr. Gu is also thoughtful, and we did not think of giving it to him.

Where’s the New Year gift?”

Lian Zhi said: "Then I have to think about how to return the gift."

"Don't worry about it. Just let my brother and the prince brother think about this matter." Wen Yunxi said, "But I didn't expect that since the last lantern festival, Gu Shiqi and the first prince Ji Nan actually had some differences.

As a result, Gu Shiqi often went to Pingbohou Mansion to talk to Prince Ji."

"My brother doesn't go out much because of his poor health. Because Mr. Gu is willing to come around often, my brother's mood has improved a lot." Ji Wanyi said.

"You four will hide from Qingjing." Wen Miqing walked over from there, followed by several ladies from aristocratic families, "Why is Princess Wanyang here too?"

"I invited Wan Yang to come here." Wen Yunxi replied, "Why is Sister Sihuang here? Aren't you over there?"

"Since everyone is here, let's talk together. You guys are hiding here. Is there something we can't listen to?" Wen Miqing asked.

Wen Yunxi replied: "We can say anything you can't listen to. We are free to sit wherever we want."

"The Queen Mother asked us to bring all the ladies from aristocratic families to the Royal Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. You leave them alone. Normally you are willful. Why are you so willful today?" Wen Miqing came to trouble Wen Yunxi again today.

Xiao Yunwei couldn't stand it any longer: "Princess Miqing, I have always liked peace and quiet, so I specifically troubled Princess Yunxi to take us to a place with few people. How can we say that Princess Yunxi is doing this for her own sake?"

"Miss Xiao had better think about what to say and what not to say before speaking." Wen Miqing wanted to suppress Xiao Yunwei, but Xiao Yunwei did not take her words to heart: "I just told the truth."

Xiao Yunwei, like his imperial censor father, is a smelly and hard rock, and he cannot confront her head-on: "I also want to show you the plum blossoms in the imperial garden, so today I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare plum blossom cakes.

Ladies, please give it a try, is this still my princess’s?”

Xiao Yunwei was about to say something, but Lian Zhi stood up and replied: "I guess it's because the weather is cold, so Miss Xiao doesn't want to move around more, but since Princess Miqing invites her to see the plum blossoms, we have to be respectful and obey."

If Xiao Yunwei was allowed to continue talking, she might actually start a quarrel with Wen Miqing. It would be really embarrassing in front of so many people, so Lian Zhi could only settle the matter and make peace with it.

Wen Yunxi also stood up: "This year's plum blossoms are indeed beautiful. I, the princess, wanted to see the plum blossoms in the snow a few days ago. I didn't expect to have the opportunity today. Miss Xiao, Miss Ji, let's go and see them together."

"

Xiao Yunwei and Ji Wanyi also knew that Lian Zhi and Wen Yunxi were trying to save the situation, so they couldn't resist their good intentions, so they agreed.

Wen Miqing took everyone to stroll around the Imperial Garden. She was walking far in front, while Wen Yunxi, Lian Zhi and others were walking at the back.

"I think the fourth princess just felt that we were not around her and she was unhappy, so she deliberately caused trouble for us." Ji Wanyi didn't have a good impression of Wen Miqing at all.

Wen Yunxi was a little helpless: "Forget it, don't worry about it, it's just a good time to take a look at the red plums that are in bloom. But speaking of red plums, I think of the Wan Baolin that appeared in Weiyang Palace today."

"What happened to Wan Baolin?" Lian Zhi didn't go to Weiyang Palace and didn't know what happened.

"Wan Baolin's appearance today shocked everyone. I looked like the red plum of Aoxue. My father also glanced at Wan Baolin from time to time, but Wan Baolin still looked cold and indifferent to my father.

"Wen Yunxi described to Lianzhi.

Lian Zhi felt that Yuan Dai was not such a ostentatious person, so why was she acting out of character today?

"Let's rest here for a while. We specially prepared plum blossom tea for everyone, which can be regarded as a good occasion." Wen Miqing greeted everyone to sit down in front. Wen Miqing, Wen Yunxi and Lin Wanyang sat around.

At the same table, the ladies from each family sit on chairs on both sides.

"This plum blossom tea is made with melted snow water. It is very refreshing and sweet. Everyone should try it." Wen Miqing said and asked the palace maid to present plum blossom cakes. "Plum blossom cakes are also made of fresh plum blossoms. The taste is great."

It’s not particularly surprising, but it’s better because the plum blossoms are pretty.”

Suqing wanted to bring plum blossom tea to Lianzhi, but Wenhe stopped her: "Suqing, you stay here with the princess, and I'll go bring the tea."

Lian Zhi had been paying attention to Su Qing and Wen He, so she naturally heard Wen He's words. She remained calm and just sat steadily.

When Wen He brought tea over, Lian Zhi put his hand on Wen He's waist: "Wen He, your purse embroidery is exquisite. I have never noticed that you have such skills before."

Wen He just thought that Lian Zhi suddenly noticed the purse on his waist: "If the princess likes it, I will embroider the purse for the princess when I go back."

Lian Zhi nodded: "Okay, I'll wait until I choose a pattern for you."

Wen He responded and stepped aside, but no one noticed this episode.

"What's on the lake?" Lian Zhi suddenly pointed to the lake not far away and asked. After hearing Lian Zhi's words, everyone looked at the lake. Wen Miqing took a look: "Isn't it just frozen on the lake?

Well, what else can there be?”

"Maybe I saw it wrong. It seemed like someone was walking on the lake just now." Lian Zhi explained. Wen Miqing felt that Lian Zhi didn't have much knowledge: "In previous years, there were indeed playful little palace ladies who saw knots on the lake.

I went skating on the ice, maybe some little palace maid just passed by for fun. Is it possible that I haven’t seen Princess Wanyang in Dongxia?"

"Although the lake is frozen, it is still too dangerous." Lian Zhi replied, then picked up the tea cup in front of her. She opened the lid and smelled the sweet aroma of plum blossoms in the tea. "This smell smells good."

It’s good to stay.”

Wen Miqing also picked up the tea cup in front of him: "It tastes even better."

Wen Miqing watched Lian Zhi take two sips, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. She hid the smile on her face by drinking tea. When she put down the tea cup again, the smile before was no longer visible.

"What do you think of the taste, Princess Wanyang?" Wen Miqing asked.

Lian Zhi nodded: "It's indeed good."

Everyone had a taste of plum blossom tea. This year, they specially purchased plum blossom tea and plum blossom cakes, which must have been the Queen's wish.

"Miss Ji, how is Prince Ji's health?" Wen Miqing asked this question at this time, which had a deeper meaning.

There was a trace of disgust in Ji Wanyi's eyes. She knew Wen Miqing's thoughts very well. She just had a crush on the power of the Pingbohou Mansion, but she would never agree to let her brother marry such a princess: "My brother

I don’t have to worry too much about the princess’s health, and it doesn’t seem appropriate for the princess to care about a foreign man in front of so many female family members, right?”

Wen Miqing didn't expect Ji Wanyi to be so disrespectful to her. She didn't even know what the sick man from Pingbohou Mansion looked like. How could she really like Ji Nanyi? She just saw that Pingbohou Mansion was a big help.

, she can help Wen Zhiyan in the future, otherwise she would not do anything unnecessary, but this Ji Wanyi actually dares not to appreciate it?
