Chapter 48 Peach Blossom Festival People are more beautiful than flowers
A night of tossing and turning.
It was dawn, and Xue Xichen woke up in a daze, and fell asleep again. Vaguely, she seemed to feel that someone was staring at her through the window, but it seemed that there was no one.
When she woke up again, it was already bright. As soon as she got up, she heard the voice of the girl outside the door, "Miss Xue, are you up? The slave has brought you face wash."
"Come in!"
After the girl came in, she put the washbasin on the bedside stand, turned around and said respectfully to Xue Xichen: "Miss Xue, the prince asked you if you are interested in going out for a walk in the city today."
"Of course. Your Majesty, don't you have to go to court today?"
"No! Your Majesty said he would be waiting for you in the front hall. After you freshen up and have your meal, go directly to the front hall to find him."
"Thank you!"
After the girl left, Xue Xichen got up to freshen up and change clothes. Not long after, the maid brought breakfast. After Xue Xichen had eaten, she went to the front hall to look for Feng Biqing.
At that time, Feng Biqing was reading quietly, with a cup of fragrant tea on her left hand. When he heard Xue Xichen's footsteps, he put down the book, looked up and said with a smile on his face, "Miss Xue, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time!"
Xue Xichen returned the courtesy politely, "My maid said that the prince invited me to go out of the city for a walk?"
Feng Biqing responded with a smile, "I wonder if Miss Snow can give me a favor?"
“What an honor!”
The two of them walked out of the house together, boarded the carriage, and the carriage drove out of the city. Feng Biqing's carriage was simple and unpretentious, not as gorgeous and fancy as Feng Qingge's. It was simple, clean and comfortable, just like Feng Biqing's.
It gives people a very similar feeling.
After touching it and looking carefully, I found that the carriage was made of fine aged rosewood, worth tens of thousands of gold. The silk curtains were produced by Qian Taixiang, Suzhou, and were once awarded the reputation of "the best embroidery in the world" by the late emperor.
A good choice for the royal family. The horse that pulls the carriage is also not an ordinary horse. It has a full square yard, four hooves treading the snow, strong muscles, and a flying stride. It is a good horse for the royal palace. It is half the blood of the sweat-blooded horse from the Western Regions and can travel thousands of miles in a day.
The corners of Xue Xichen's eyebrows twitched, saying that there is gold and jade inside. This carriage looks ordinary, but it is very much like Feng Biqing. It has hidden contents, does not show mountains, does not reveal water, making people unpredictable and guessing.
through.
Xue Xichen even speculated whether there might be some mechanism in this seemingly ordinary carriage that she had not discovered.
"Snow girl, what are you studying?"
Seeing that Xue Xichen had been touching the wooden board of the carriage, as if he was exploring something, a sharp dark light quickly passed through Feng Jade's clear and dark jade eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he was like a gentleman again, smiling and asking.
"I'm feeling whether this carriage is strong or not."
Xue Xichen seemed to be in the city from the countryside, smiling stupidly, and tapped the wooden board with her index finger, with a childish expression of wanting to know whether the wooden board was solid.
Feng Biqing smiled and said: "Why, does this king's carriage look so weak?"
"Hey! No!"
Xue Xichen sat upright, with a smile on her face, and said with a smile: "A joke! A joke! People are just gossips! Curious! Don't blame me, Your Majesty! Don't blame me, Your Majesty!"
Feng Biqing's smile remained unchanged, but a dangerous light flashed at the end of her eyes, "What are the results of Miss Snow's research?"
Xue Xichen replied stupidly: "The carriage is very strong! It won't fall apart!"
Feng Biqing chuckled, "Miss Snow is so cute!"
"Haha!" Xue Xichen stroked her hair and giggled, but in her heart she was thinking that Feng Biqing was so wary, and she didn't know if he would be suspicious.
The two of them had their own thoughts along the way. The carriage glided out of the city and stopped by a lake lined with green willows. Feng Biqing opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and reached out to help Xue Xichen down.
The lakeside scenery is pleasant. The clear mirror-like lake surface reflects the low-hanging green willows. The golden sunlight shines on the calm lake surface, reflecting the colorful rays of the sun. There are small groups of close friends by the lakeside, strolling leisurely, and some people are holding fans and reciting poems.
Yes, it’s a competition of literary talents. From time to time, young women come from the other side of the lake to play and have fun, and the laughter is endless.
“The scenery here is so beautiful!”
Xue Xichen walked along the lakeside, stopping and walking, admiring the beautiful scenery of flowers on both sides of the river from time to time, and spoke with admiration.
Feng Biqing followed from behind, her voice was elegant and round, "Does Miss Snow know what day it is today?"
"Huh? I don't know!"
Is today a very special day? That’s why Feng Biqing stayed at the palace to wait for her trip?!
Xue Xichen was curious, "Your Majesty, what day is today?"
"Does Miss Snow know about the annual Peach Blossom Festival in the capital?"
"Peach Blossom Festival..."
Shaking her head, she had only lived in the capital for a few months, so she didn't know much about the customs and customs of the capital, and she had never heard of the Peach Blossom Festival.
"Snow girl, look over there!"
Following Feng Biqing's hand, Xue Xichen saw from a distance densely packed peach blossoms covering the entire lakeshore. The flowers were in bloom and purple and red, attracting countless arty young talents, and even well-dressed women came together in twos and threes.
Come, laugh and play, and flirt with young talents from time to time.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Xue Xichen was filled with joy and said happily, "Your Majesty, let's go there quickly!"
In the sea of flowers, the trees are as bright as a dream. The breeze blows, the peach trees are swaying, and the pink petals are flying and falling like raindrops. Xue Xichen can't help but raise her hand to catch the delicate petals, put it in the palm of her hand, and caress it gently,
The fragrance of peach blossoms comes slowly, refreshing your soul and making you nostalgic.
"Wow-hahahahahaha-"
Xue Xichen jumped up and down, kicked up fallen leaves all over the floor, laughed happily, and was as naughty as a child.
The bright and scorching sun embellishes the peach blossoms with wisps of golden light, the air is filled with the charming fragrance of the peach blossoms, and the quiet peach blossom forest is full of dreamlike atmosphere.
The bright sunshine shines through the crystal petals on her pink and purple dress, illuminating her bright and beautiful face.
The breeze blows gently, and the petals are flying like broken rain, bringing the warmth of early spring.
"Hahahahahaha——"
She laughed heartily and spun around in the rain of flowers, as happy as an elf.
Feng Biqing stared at her quietly. She had never seen such a carefree and happy Xue Xichen. From the first acquaintance, Xue Xichen had a strong sense of wariness. Even if they got along peacefully later, he could still feel Xue Xichen.
There was a cold and distant aura about Chen.
At this moment, she smiled so heartily, so brightly, so innocently. In the sea of flowers, she was as beautiful as a happy elf who accidentally fell into the dust. In an instant, she attracted all his attention, and his eyes were infinitely magnified.
Only her...only her...that sunny and bright smile...
Xue Xichen...
This woman as beautiful as a fairy...
My heart throbbed for a moment.
"Wow - Your Majesty, thank you! This place is really beautiful!"
Xue Xichen turned around, raised a big smile towards Feng Biqing, and told him sincerely for the first time, "Thank you very much - Feng Biqing -"
Heart, trembling.
As if being infected by her emotions, he also showed an innocent smile for the first time in his life, sincerely, without any falsehood, "Miss Snow, as long as you are happy, that's fine..."
