Due to a few days of light rain, Chang'an gradually fell into a more severe cold. It was as if overnight, the plum blossoms all over the city woke up to the smell of winter, poked out their branches, or were in bud, with dense layers of bright red petals.

The heart of the flower is tightly wrapped, or has been blown open by the cold wind. It is as shy as a beautiful woman's delicate dimple, and its beauty is dazzling.

On this day, Queen Yang thought that in less than half a month, Yang Baoying would leave the cabinet. Although she was still married into the Taiwei Mansion and was no stranger to it, how could the young lady not be nervous before the wedding?

At this point, Empress Yang specially asked Li Sui to return to Taiwei's Mansion and stay with Yang Baoying for a few more days. When Yang Baoying's mother's family came, she accompanied her parents to move to an unused mansion in Jingzhao to be married. Li Sui returned

It's not too late to return to the palace.

For this reason, Li Sui returned to the Taiwei Mansion early in the morning. After visiting the Li family, he took Yu Nu and Nian Nu to the outside of Chaolu Courtyard.

"Because it is not appropriate to meet Mr. Silang before leaving the pavilion, Mrs. Bao will be in Fangfei Garden these days. Mrs. Taiwei also agreed that she does not need to go to Chaolu Garden for morning and evening examinations..."

Hearing Nian Nu's little mouth Baba'er talking happily, Li Sui nodded with a smile, turned to look at the silent Yu Nu next to him and said: "Nian Nu is really like a magpie, in this mansion

She is very familiar with her, and she can gather the latest news while chatting in the corridor. She went to the palace a few days ago, but it only lasted a few days? She also became close to many girls in the palace.

, I don’t know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future, I’m afraid I won’t feel cold every day.”

"Princess Princess——"

Seeing that Nian Nu blushed and called out shyly, Yu Nu couldn't help but smile and said nothing. Li Sui then asked seriously: "Sanlang has gone to Hongnong these days, but Sanbao still cares about him every day."

Time to go out for a walk in the yard?”

Niannu nodded immediately after hearing the words, and quickly took over the words: "I asked about it as soon as I returned home. Mrs. Liu takes her with her every day, and she goes to Chunyuan where she usually goes -"

After saying that, Nian Nu looked at the sky and thought for a moment, then added: "Hold on, this is the time."

Li Sui nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then said: "Then let's go and have a look."

After hearing Li Sui's words, Yunu and Niannu naturally followed her to Chaochunyuan step by step.

Because Chunyuan is a major scenic spot in the Taiwei Mansion, it takes a lot of effort to change the flowers and forests of the season throughout the year, just to bring beauty to the four seasons. Therefore, this place is closest to Li's Chaolu Courtyard.

In just half a cup of tea, Li Sui's master and servant arrived at Chunyuan, which was already full of wintersweet.

Although there were faint shadows of the warm winter sun in the clouds, it was still a bit colder. Li Sui wrapped his hands in a fiery red sable tube and stepped on the pebble path. As soon as his figure disappeared into the red plum forest, he heard the puppy's cheerful cry.

cry.

Li Sui paused for a moment, then followed the sound and walked over. Sure enough, there were already a few people standing sparsely in the Tanchun Pavilion deep in the plum forest. Because it was winter, the Tanchun Pavilion was wrapped in felt, and there was only one entrance to the pavilion.

Slightly opening a soft curtain, Li Sui could see from a distance that Ms. Liu, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, was sitting quietly in the pavilion, holding one hand on the log table beside her, looking at the pavilion with a smile.

Go free and run happily, Sambo.

Li Sui slowly stepped forward and saw that because it was early morning, the red plum trees in the forest were covered with a layer of frost. If he accidentally brushed against the mink cloak, water drops would fall. Li Sui thought in his mind and walked.

I deliberately approached the plum blossom branch, and as expected, more frost fell off.

"Princess Princess——"

Before Li Sui could approach, Mr. Liu in the pavilion had already heard the sound and looked over. He quickly stood up and walked down the steps. When he was three steps away from Li Sui, he stopped and bowed.

Seeing this, Li Sui stepped forward to help Mrs. Liu up and said in a very approachable manner: "Madam is an elder, there is no need to be like this."

When he got closer, Li Sui looked at Ms. Liu who was only wearing a simple lily bun and a light layer of makeup. Under the cloak was a plain blue skirt embroidered with green calyx, which looked gentle and elegant.

"I returned home early today. When I came out from my aunt's place, I thought that the plum blossoms in Chunyuan were about to bloom. When I came over, I happened to hear Sanbao's voice, so I followed the sound, but it disturbed my wife's enjoyment."

Hearing Li Sui's polite words, Mrs. Liu glanced at Sanbao who was being held by the maid, and said with a gentle smile: "Princess, you are serious. It's just that Sanbao was used to it by Wu Lang. He would make trouble in the yard if he didn't come out for a day."

It was so tight that I had no choice but to take him out every day, but it was us who disturbed the silence of the Spring Garden and disturbed the princess's interest in flower appreciation."

Li Sui pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, looked around and said: "This plum forest is quiet, and the three treasures are very active. Silence and movement complement each other. It is fate that we meet here."

Mrs. Liu smiled tenderly when she heard this. When she saw that the frost on Li Sui's cloak had turned into water and wetted a large area of ​​fur, she hurriedly said nervously: "Although I mentioned the sun, it is still a bit cold today. There is a heater in the pavilion."

If the princess doesn't mind it, why don't you sit in the pavilion and ask someone to dry the cloak for you, so as not to catch the cold."

Hearing the sound, Li Sui followed Mrs. Liu's gaze and glanced over his shoulder. Sure enough, the good cloak was already wet and was no longer in its original condition. He suddenly nodded and said, "Then thank you, madam."

As she spoke, Li Suiti walked towards the pavilion, but she could feel that Mr. Liu was always walking behind her humbly and politely, refusing to go any further.

Entering the pavilion, Li Sui suddenly felt cold, and a warm feeling hit him, covering his whole body.

When Li Sui sat down, he saw that Mrs. Liu had not taken her seat, but was just standing quietly aside. Li Sui just took action and gently invited Mrs. Liu to sit next to her. He noticed that Mrs. Liu was a little flattered, but Li Sui seemed as if he hadn't seen her.

He looked at Sanbao in front of the pavilion and said: "Wu Lang is not with me these days. Madam will find it more interesting if there is a noisy little thing like Sanbao every day."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile. Looking at the black and white San Bao, who was exhaling and playing ball with the maid, she gradually relaxed and started talking about San Bao's interesting things.

Li Sui smiled when he heard this, raised his hand to drink tea, and winked at the Yunu next to him. Seeing that Yunu understood, he gently pinched a leaf with his hand hidden under the sleeve behind him, and then Li Sui took a sip of tea and put it into the tea room.

The tea cup was slowly put back on the table, he smiled, leaned forward, clapped his hands and called: "Sambo, come on -"

Upon hearing Li Sui's call, Sanbao first glanced at Li Sui, then at Liu next to him, and immediately dropped the ball in his mouth and ran towards this direction.

Seeing that Sanbao was approaching, but only three steps away, the bell hanging around Sanbao's neck suddenly broke, and only a "ding bell--" was heard as the bell fell at Li Sui's feet.

Almost naturally, Li Sui reached for the bell. However, unlike last time, this time Sanbao did not rush forward to grab it. Instead, he was wagging his tail, staring up with eyes like grapes, and looking up with a grin.

With.

"Look at the impatient one, all the bells have gone away——"

Li Sui had already thought about it, so he picked up the bell jokingly, handed it into Mrs. Liu's hand and praised with a smile: "The Three Treasures don't look like the Lord who protects food."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu took the bell and handed it to the maid beside her, and held the three treasures into her arms. When she saw Li Sui reaching out and caressing her gently, as if she liked it, she moved the three treasures towards Li Sui and said: "

The princess didn't know that Wulang had personally taught Sanbao since he was born. He was usually very eye-catching, lively and clever, but he never protected his food, and he never snatched his favorite things from others. Wulang said that everyone in the house was a noble person, so

Teach them, so as not to hurt others and make it difficult to clean up."

Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Li Sui smiled understandingly, put the three treasures into his arms, teased them for a while, and then said goodbye to Mr. Liu.

Until he walked out of the Meilin, Li Sui gradually slowed down his pace, his eyes were calm, and he said in a low voice: "The bell has been changed."

Hearing Li Sui's words, both Yu Nu and Nian Nu were slightly startled. Li Sui had just deliberately winked at Yu Nu, so when San Bao ran closer, Yu Nu only needed a little effort to calmly wink.

Loosen the tie and drop the bell.

"The bell just now had a few pieces of paint peeled off, and it was quite old, but the bell last time was brand new and shiny, which shows that it was rarely used, and -"

Li Sui paused, his eyes gradually condensed and he said: "The bell just now is a little lighter in comparison."

"Could it be that someone noticed what the princess found, so they replaced the bell? Wouldn't we have lost the clue——"

Li Sui nodded slightly when he heard the words. After walking out of Chunyuan and onto the verandah, he gradually whispered in a low voice while thinking: "Maybe others didn't notice anything."

Seeing that Yunu and Niannu both heard the sound and looked over, Li Sui said calmly: "The bell just now is mottled and old. It can be seen that it is worn regularly. I think there is nothing wrong with it, so I am not afraid of anyone noticing, so I have always adjusted it well."

The Three Treasures will not rush over to grab it."

"But the bell last time probably had some unknown secret. It was not necessary for San Bao to wear it unless needed, so San Bao was uncharacteristically nervous."

Niannu was a little surprised when he heard the words and said: "What the princess means, in order to hide from others, Sanbao usually wears ordinary bells. Only when necessary will he wear the special bell, and Sanbao has also been trained."

, as long as you swear to protect that unusual bell?"

"These three treasures are so smart that they are even more powerful than humans."

Hearing Nian Nu's words, Li Sui smiled, turned to look at Nian Nu, and then said: "Dogs understand human nature, just like the monkey. As long as they are properly trained, they can also do many things for people. It's not surprising."

Having said that, Li Sui no longer hesitated and walked towards the end of the verandah with ease: "Let's go and see Baoying."

Seeing Li Sui like this, Nian Nu glanced at Yu Nu and couldn't help but whisper: "Princess, aren't we going to investigate?"

"Check, of course we have to check."

Li Sui smiled when he heard this, but when he turned his head, he could see the seriousness and calmness in his eyes.

"I just need to think carefully about the clues and investigate them carefully."
