"That's it!"

Su Changle's eyes suddenly lit up, like a few stars hidden in her eyes at night.

Su Changle naturally knew that he looked good today, but when these words came from Jiang Shen's mouth, it was really different.

"What do you want to say to this princess when you stand here so early in the morning?"

Su Changle took a small step forward. She looked up at Jiang Shen, her eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon.

"I'm here to express my gratitude to the princess." Jiang Shen lowered his head, just enough to meet Su Changle's eyes, "Thank you, the princess, for taking me in."

"It's okay, and I'm very happy." Su Changle whispered, "I'm very happy that you didn't go to see that old man Wei."

Su Changle didn't like Wei Ruyi, and Jiang Shen already knew that before.

Wei Yue was originally dispensable to Jiang Shen, but now that he was in the princess's mansion, the news must have reached Wei Yue's ears last night.

Jiang Shen didn't really care what Wei Yue thought.

Su Changle saw that Jiang Shen was silent and thought that he had misunderstood what he said.

She quickly explained: "Well... I didn't mean that you and Old Man Wei are the same."

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes and looked at her: What is going on in this little head?

"I know," Jiang Shen said calmly, "The princess simply doesn't like Master Wei and Miss Wei."

"Yes, I just hate them." Su Changle snorted, "But this is not the reason why I don't let you get close to them. That old Wei head is not a good person at all."

Jiang Shen actually really wanted to laugh: Who in this court dares to say that he is a pure and good person.

"In short, stay away from him now and in the future." Su Changle ordered very firmly. Seeing Jiang Shen's sensible nod, she felt relieved.

"The princess will go to the palace in a while. You are alone in the palace. If you need anything, you can go to the housekeeper." Su Changle instructed carefully.

Jiang Shen is not a child at all, he certainly knows how to take care of himself.

Not to mention that the entire princess palace knew what Su Changle was thinking. Who dared to risk his life to neglect him?

"Let's go. You must have not had breakfast after waiting for so long, so let's go together."

--

Prince Jin's Mansion became lively early in the morning.

Not to mention that ordinary people set off firecrackers early, even Prince Jin's Mansion set off a long string of firecrackers before breakfast. When Su Changle came back, he happened to meet Princess Jin at the door greeting the boys to change the lanterns.

"Good girl, are you back?"

Princess Jin is wearing a navy blue coat and skirt today, which Su Changle chose as a New Year gift for Princess Jin a few days ago. Princess Jin is wearing it today and it fits perfectly.

Su Changle hurriedly greeted her: "I've met my mother. She looks so beautiful today!"

"You girl, you are used to making your mother happy."

As Princess Jin spoke, she grabbed a handful of halva from the sugar plate held by the maid and stuffed it into Su Changle's arms: "Here you go, don't eat too much, be careful with your teeth."

"I know!" Su Changle smiled and stuffed the candy into the secret pocket inside his sleeve, taking one out from time to time.

Su Changle was the youngest mistress in the mansion, and even if she was busy during the New Year, it was not Su Changle. As soon as she arrived at the main hall, she huddled in her chair and picked at the food on the table.

There was everything on the table, including pastries, melons, dried fruits, fried nuts, and candies.

They are all Su Changle's favorite food.

There are no New Year greetings on New Year's Eve. Only on the first day of the Lunar New Year will people visit various places.

So after Princess Jin had a lively New Year's dinner, her family sat in the main hall and waited to watch the New Year's Eve.

Su Heng was sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand.

Su Changle had eaten for a day, and now her stomach was bloated. She couldn't sit on the chair, so she stood up and wandered around the hall.

While shaking, they kept arguing: "It's so good, so good."

"I told you to eat so much." Princess Jin brought Su Changle a cup of hawthorn digestion ointment, "Here, you will feel better after drinking it."

Su Changle took two sips from Princess Jin's hand, and then shouted: "I can't drink any more. I can't drink any more."

"What should we do?"

Su Changle patted his belly: "I want to take a walk in the yard, mother, do you want to accompany me?"

Princess Jin looked bored as she watched her son reading and her husband studying the tea leaves.

"Let's go. Although it's a little cold outside, it's better than being bored here."

Princess Jin said, and asked someone to bring the cloak over. The mother and daughter wrapped it tightly before going outside.

Prince Jin's Mansion is very large, and there are places even Princess Jin herself has never been to.

The mother and daughter just walked hand in hand and walked slowly, talking left and right, and soon they arrived at the garden.

After winter came, Princess Jin rarely came to the garden.

After all, it is far away from the front hall, and it is winter now, so the scenery in the garden is not good.

"Mother, what do you think that is?"

Su Changle had a good eye, but the light reflected by the lanterns held by the maids next to him made Su Changle see some cute little things.

"This is?"

"It's plum blossoms!"

Throughout the ages, the plum blossoms in Jinling City are the most famous.

There are dedicated people taking care of the flowers in Prince Jin's mansion. Prince Jin and Princess Jin are not flower lovers, so they don't know what flowers are in the garden.

But……

In their memory, there seems to be no plum blossoms.

"Princess, these plum blossoms were only planted this year."

"Oh, no wonder." Princess Jin looked at the red little flowers and felt a little happy unconsciously. She picked the best blooming one and put it on Su Changle's bun.

Princess Jin nodded repeatedly: "Well, that's right, it looks better this way."

The mother and daughter walked back slowly, and after a while, it was time.

Su Heng and Su Changle paid New Year's greetings to King Jin and Princess one by one.

"New Year's greetings to my father and mother."

“New Year’s greetings to my father and mother!”

"Everyone is good." King Jin and Princess Jin divided the two largest red envelopes in her hands between the two people. Then the maids and servants also lined up to say auspicious words to the prince and princess, and everyone received them.

The red envelope is full of joy.

By the time everything was over, it was already very late.

Su Changle glanced at Ah Zhu, who nodded, and the two of them took the car back to the Princess's Mansion after everyone went to rest.

"You said, Jiang Shen won't fall asleep, right?"

Su Changle was still a little worried.

Ah Zhu couldn't be sure. After all, the princess was in the palace tonight and she wouldn't go back, so no one bothered to wait.

"It would be a pity if he fell asleep," Su Changle said flatly, "After all, this is our first year."

Azhu smiled and said, "It would be easy if he fell asleep. The princess would just wake him up."

"Seriously? Wouldn't it be bad to do this?"

"What's wrong with this..." Ah Zhu said with a smile, "The princess sneaked back from the palace specifically to see Young Master Jiang Shen. If she fell asleep, wouldn't it be a terrible sight?"

"You're right!" Su Changle agreed, "It's Chinese New Year, so why should you sleep?"

Su Changle was ready to call someone, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at Jiang Shen's guest room, he found that his room was still lit.

"Huh? You're not asleep yet?"

Su Changle was also surprised. She stepped forward and knocked on Jiang Shen's door, calling in a low voice: "Jiang Shen? Are you asleep?"

After Su Changle finished speaking, he heard footsteps inside.

Jiang Shen wore pajamas and clothes and came to open the door for Su Changle: "Princess?"

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Something just occurred to me, so I got up to read some books. It's so late, Princess, what is this?"

It was already cold in the middle of the night, so Su Changle walked outside for a while, and now his face was already red from the cold.

Jiang Shen turned sideways and wanted Su Changle to come in, but Su Changle refused.

"Jiang Shen, have a wonderful New Year!"

Su Changle suddenly said these words.

Jiang Shen was stunned for a moment: It turns out that she came back to celebrate the New Year with him.

"Happy New Year to the princess..."

Jiang Shen looked at her, but was attracted by the pretty little plum blossom on her head.

"Hey, this is the New Year's money that my parents gave me just now. Now I'll give you half of it!" Su Changle took out the red envelope from his arms and prepared to give it to Jiang Shen.

But when she looked up, she found Jiang Shen staring at her hair.

What’s there to see?

"What are you looking at?" Su Changle was a little curious.

"I am looking at the flowers. They are very cute and match the princess." Jiang Shen said softly.

It was already midnight, and it was very quiet, so no matter how soft Jiang Shen's voice was, Su Changle felt that the voice was as clear as if he was speaking close to his ear.

Su Changle suddenly felt a little shy.

She stuffed the red envelope into Jiang Shen's hand and ran away like a little rabbit.

Jiang Shen looked at Su Changle's back and then at the red envelope in his hand.

"New Year's money?" Jiang Shen smiled, "It's quite interesting."

Su Changle returned to the bedroom, took off her makeup, rolled around on the bed a few times, and then fell asleep. It was not until the next morning that she was awakened by the sound of firecrackers again.

This time she wasn't angry because it was placed in her own home.

Su Changle got up early, and before he had breakfast, the maids and servants were waiting in the main hall, waiting for Su Changle to give him a red envelope.

The red envelopes in Su Changle's hand were getting less and less. She thought about it and said to Azhu: "Go and call Lu Jingyan over."

"yes."

Lu Jingyan has been in the room since last night. The maids said that even after the New Year's Eve dinner was delivered, it was sent out without a few mouthfuls.

Lu Jingyan was really not in the mood to eat.

She sat blankly on the bed, listening to the lively sound of firecrackers outside, thinking about last year's New Year, when she was still receiving lucky money from her mother's arms.

But now, in just one year, she was kicked out of the house and lost her home.

Lu Jingyan knew how lively it was outside without going out to see it, but the liveliness never belonged to her.

Lu Jingyan was sitting on the bed when she heard Ah Zhu knocking on the door: "Is the girl awake?"

Lu Jingyan recognized Ah Zhu's voice, so she quickly got out of bed and opened the door: "Sister Ah Zhu."

"Young lady has killed your servant, just call your servant Azhu." Azhu said, "The princess asked the girl to go to the front hall."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

As Lu Jingyan said that, she went back and simply put on her clothes and pulled up her hair, and then followed A-Zhu to the front hall.

Lu Jingyan watched everyone beaming with joy along the way, holding red envelopes in his hands and hiding aside to count the money.

Lu Jingyan was a little envious, her family had never had this kind of atmosphere.

While walking, Lu Jingyan had already reached the main hall.

As soon as she entered, she saw Su Changle waiting for her. She stepped forward and saluted Su Changle: "My daughter has met the princess."
