Yan Ling said: "She said that she had met my parents several times when she was young."
The Yan family has been stationed in Tongyang, but his mother's family, the Dong family, is a prominent family in the north of the Yangtze River, and Concubine Xian's natal Liu family is from the capital. The three are scattered and far apart, so it is indeed strange that Concubine Xian has seen them all.
"Maybe we just met each other. She has a good memory and still remembers her appearance."
Yan Ling thought about it and realized that there really was no other explanation, so she just threw it behind her.
Today is Women's Day, wouldn't it be a disgrace to say this?
Thinking of this, he coughed and handed the orchid grass over without looking at her.
Although Xu Yin was watched by many people along the way, she was never left alone, and she had not yet received the orchid grass. This was the first one.
Seeing that his ears were red, she became interested and deliberately asked: "For me?"
Yan Ling turned to look at the crowd over there, and her face turned redder: "What else?"
Xu Yin pursed his lips and smiled, stopped teasing him, took it and put it on his waist.
Yan Ling waited for a while without waiting for the follow-up. She couldn't care less about being shy, so she hurriedly turned back and asked, "Where's yours?"
Xu Yin touched his purse, but made no move.
His eyes widened: "You won't give it to me? Then who will you give it to?"
Xu Yin said: "Isn't it yet? I'll give it to you when you go back."
In today's grand gathering, each family also intends to have a blind date. If there is a match, they will give each other bluegrass. So, actually, it is not yet the stage of giving.
Yan Ling lowered his head and said nothing, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
Seeing him like this, Xu Yin couldn't hold on anymore and took out the orchid grass from his purse and gave it to him.
Yan Ling suddenly laughed, took it and made signs, thinking that he might lose it wherever he put it.
Xu Yin said: "Put it away and don't let others see it."
They both wore orchids at the same time, which aroused suspicion.
Yan Ling was very regretful and muttered: "When will we be able to be honest..."
Xu Yin thought to himself that it won't take long, about half a year, before he can go back. As for her, she will stay in the capital for a few months to show her loyalty on behalf of her father. As long as the emperor is satisfied, she can go home.
There was a sound of gongs at the stall, but the pot throwing was over.
Princess Changning won a great victory and shouted happily.
"Ayin, look I won!"
She had many things in her hands, including silver locks, handkerchiefs, silk flowers, and even jade pendants.
Xu Yin opened his eyes wide in surprise: "I won so much!"
"Isn't it? I am powerful, right?" Princess Changning showed off to her.
As soon as she finished speaking, a young man next to her who had just thrown a pot with her came over and asked in a loud voice: "This girl, do you dare to ask me her name?"
Princess Changning raised her eyebrows: "What, you're not convinced?"
The young man shook his head quickly: "No, the girl is so skilled that the young man is willing to be inferior to her."
So Princess Changning understood: "Then you want to win back next time? Don't think about it now, I will be even better in the future!"
She held her head high with a proud look on her face, which made the young man unable to speak any more. The two palace maids were a little older and had already figured out what the other wanted to do. They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing the blushing look on the young man's face, Jin Shu thought that this was the princess's first love, so he came out to smooth things over: "The master of our house is very strict. It's rare for the young lady to come out today, and she won't have this opportunity in the future. Thank you very much."
The young master cares about me, so I thank you on behalf of the young lady."
The young man looked disappointed. That's right. Looking at her dress, he knew she was a lady from a noble family. How could she meet her casually?
But the young man was worried, so how could he be willing to do so? He immediately took out his orchid grass and threw it away: "My name is Lu Chun, and I'll meet you again if we are destined."
After saying that, he blushed like fire and ran away in a hurry.
Princess Changning took the bunch of orchid grass, and everyone was dumbfounded: "Hey..."
The two palace maids finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even Xu Yin laughed loudly and said, "Don't you mean that it's boring to only receive bluegrass from my brother and brother every year? Now someone else is here to give it to me.
"
Dan Mo nodded with a smile: "Mr.... the young lady is beautiful and cute, I guess he has a good vision!"
Only then did Princess Changning realize that she was given the orchid as a gift. She suddenly blushed and stammered: "Ah, so that's it..."
Xu Yin couldn't stop laughing: "You just understand?"
Princess Changning thought about the situation just now and felt happy but also a little embarrassed, so she held the bunch of orchids and giggled.
This is the first orchid she has received from an unrelated person of the opposite sex, and the other person does not know her identity. It has nothing to do with whether she is a princess or not, it is just because of who she is...
It feels so good, just like when she rescued people on the street that day. The respect and love she gets are all because of herself.
Princess Changning was so happy that she didn't even notice that Xu Yin had put on the orchid grass, nor did she notice Yan Ling who quietly left after seeing her coming.
Xu Yin originally wanted to ask how Xue Yi was doing, but now that there is no chance, he had to suppress it for the time being.
The two of them walked around again, then went to find the prince and his party, and then went back together.
The prince knew that someone had given his sister orchid grass, so he kept asking: "Who is that person? Doesn't he have ulterior motives?"
Jin Shu replied: "The young master is about fifteen or sixteen. He has a handsome appearance and should be a scholar. He is wearing fine cloth and looks like he has an average family background. He gave the orchid grass and left. It doesn't seem like he has bad intentions."
Dan Mo echoed: "Yes, he doesn't know the princess's identity. If we don't tell him, he will leave."
"By the way, he said his name is Lu Chun."
Princess Changning was unhappy when she heard this: "Brother, what do you mean? Is it possible that I am so unpopular?"
The prince quickly denied: "That's not what I meant. It's just that there's a lot of people out there, and I'm worried that you'll suffer a loss."
Xu Yin added with a smile: "If Your Highness is worried, you can go and check. I looked at the turban hanging on his body, and there was a piece of writing on it, with the words Qingzhu Academy on it."
The prince nodded and wrote this down.
This episode passed like this, and the group of people went back slowly.
Only then did Princess Changning notice that Xu Yin was wearing orchids, and she quickly asked: "Whose is this? When did you collect it?"
Xu Yin's face didn't change: "Just now! Someone gave it to me when the princess was throwing the pot. I thought it was the first orchid this year and it was quite meaningful, so I put it on."
Princess Changning had no doubt that she had it, because she also wore the orchid on her waist and said jokingly: "I said, you will definitely need it, there will be more later!"
Xu Yin smiled and shook his fan but did not answer.
When they arrived near Daguangming Temple, everyone saw many pleasure boats parked on the waterside. After asking, they found out that Concubine Shu had ordered people to prepare them.
Princess Jinghua saw them and waved her hands: "Changning, are you coming to swim in the river?"
Of course Princess Changning wanted to join in the fun, so she told the prince and pulled Xu Yin along: "Here we come!"
