Spring is the perfect season for encounters and reunions. All things quietly stretch out in the ice and snow, welcoming a new beginning, and all the past melts away with the remaining snow of winter.

Xu Yan sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror, letting Yingchun behind her do various hairstyles for her. In the blurry and dim mirror, Yingchun's beautiful face with a slight frown could be faintly reflected.

Xu Yan looked at her movements. Somehow, he felt a little inexplicably anxious. Xu Yan touched his heart, trying to relieve this unnecessary emotion.

Yingchun seemed to notice her movements, leaned down and said softly: "Your Highness, you'll be fine soon."

Xu Yan said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.

The Spring Festival seems to be very happy, and the usually prudent person can't help but say a few words today: "Your Highness, I heard that this year's number one scholar is an outstanding young master. Compared with last year's Mr. Lu, he is even better than last year's Mr. Lu.

."

Xu Yan looked at her joyful face and said calmly: "What, what do you think of this new number one scholar? Your mother is a female official close to the Queen Mother. Her rank is not low, and she is highly trusted by the Queen Mother.

I think the Queen Mother might be able to help you out for her own sake."

After hearing this, Yingchun immediately turned pale: "His Highness is really joking. I mean that His Highness is already twelve this year, so it's time to start selecting a candidate for your consort. Why not pick one from among these talented people this year?" Her voice said casually.

The cold air emanating from Xu Yan's body gradually weakened.

Until the end, she sighed and continued: "Your Highness can't wait for Mr. Yun forever, right? Besides, he has already..."

Seeing Xu Yan's increasingly cold expression, Yingchun showed her trump card: "This is also what His Majesty meant."

Xu Yan sneered and said nothing, letting Yingchun continue the movements of her hands. Yingchun peeked at her face and saw that Xu Yan stopped making any sound, so she increased the speed of her hands.

Yingchun chose a gold-stitched gauze skirt and a jade-patterned brocade feather satin cloak for Xu Yan. Xu Yan was born with a good color, and she didn't need much makeup to make her look pretty. Yingchun only applied a little makeup to Xu Yan.

Pink, a noble and incomparable woman appears in front of Yingchun.

When Xia Zhi came in and asked about the time, Xu Yan just turned around. When the two looked at each other, even though Xia Zhi had seen countless beautiful women in the palace for many years, he couldn't help but be amazed by the Xu Yan in front of him now.

Xu Yan glanced at the two people who were stunned on the spot, frowned and said: "What are you doing standing still? Weren't you still urging me just now? Why don't you leave quickly?"

Awakened by Xu Yan's voice, Xia Zhi and Ying Chun recovered from their surprise. They looked at each other sheepishly and prepared for Xu Yan's trip.

Xu Yan walked step by step through the bluestone bricks laid in the palace. Next to her, Yingchun held an umbrella for Xu Yan and walked beside her. She looked at the shadow in front of her and subconsciously raised her head.

What caught his eye were the smiling faces of Peng Xing and Peng Yue. Peng Xing came over and put his arms around her shoulders familiarly and said, "Why are you here? I thought you never bothered to participate in such activities. Don't you have to wait all the time?"

Your Bai Yueguang?"

Xu Yan didn't look at her, twitching his lips and replied: "I was forced to have no choice."

Upon hearing this, Peng Xing glanced at the fourth palace maid beside her and whispered in her ear: "I know, the little slave trapped in the palace."

Xu Yan glanced at Peng Yue, who was standing quietly in front of them, walked over, took her hand and said, "Let's go, what are you thinking about?"

Peng Yue raised her pale face, smiled weakly at Xu Yan, and followed her pace.

Xu Yan silently cast a questioning look at Peng Xing.

I saw Peng Xing replying with two words "Lu Huai" with his mouth.

After Xu Yan saw it, he didn't ask any more questions. He just held Peng Yue's hand tighter.

Although the place for the flower viewing banquet was far away, it was not that long when Xu Yan and the other three were teasing them all the way there. Xu Yan calmed down when she saw the place, and returned to her aloof appearance. There were many aristocratic families passing by on the road.

When the noble lady met Xu Yan, Xu Yan responded one by one.

Although the talented man and the noble lady were both at the flower-viewing banquet, they were at opposite ends of the river, separated by a stone bridge. In the first half of the flower-viewing banquet, they just looked at each other from a distance on both sides of the river. But that was just

Glancing secretly, only a very bold lady would keep staring at the talented men on the other side of the river.

In the second half of the flower-appreciation banquet, talents from both sides of the Taiwan Strait will openly look at each other by appreciating the beautiful scenery, sharing calligraphy and other famous names. Talented and beauties exchange knowledge under such a flower-appreciation, and their identities and backgrounds can match each other, so every year

There were not a few people who saw each other's success at this flower-viewing banquet.

Xu Yan was at this end of the river bank. He lowered his head and buried himself in the shadow of the umbrella held during the Spring Festival, and hurried past. But his right hand was suddenly pulled by a strong force. Xu Yan was pulled hard by this sudden strong force and almost fell.

fall.

Both she and Peng Xing turned around to look, and what caught their eyes was Peng Yue's calm profile. She stared straight at a figure on the other side, unable to leave her sight for a long time.

Peng Xing and Xu Yan looked at each other and understood why Peng Yue did this.

Xu Yan squinted and looked towards the other side, and sure enough, he saw Lu Huai's figure wearing a green official robe.

Lu Huai lived up to the expectations of the masters at Qingyun Academy. He won the first place in the spring examination the year after Yun Qi left. Now he is serving as editor of the Hanlin Academy, and his future is immeasurable.

Not only Peng Yue, Xu Yan could clearly feel that the eyes around him were getting hotter since Lu Huai appeared. Looking carefully, there were glances secretly directed at Lu Huai everywhere. Those girls were all looking pretty.

, the admiration for Lu Huai in his eyes almost flew across the bridge and went straight to him.

Lu Huai seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned around to meet Xu Yan's gaze. There was no trace of surprise on his face, and he still saluted Xu Yan with a smile as he did a few years ago. Then he continued forward.

Go.

The girls around him saw his actions and turned their heads to look in Xu Yan's direction. When they saw Xu Yan's face, they all saluted Xu Yan. The scene was so spectacular for a while.

The movement on the other side naturally alarmed the talented people. When they heard the neat salutes on the other side, they all stood up and wanted to see the true appearance of Her Royal Highness.

A young man in white also paused and looked in the direction of the other side.

Seeing such a formation, Xu Yan on the other side had no choice but to let them level up. In a daze, she seemed to see a figure on the other side, like the person who had not entered her dream for many years.

She was stunned and wanted to see more clearly. Even though she knew it couldn't be that person, there was a voice in her heart that kept hitting her eardrums: "Go and have a look! Maybe that person is him?"

She couldn't help but take a step forward, and the man turned around as if he had a premonition.

The moment she saw his face clearly, a beautiful figure appeared in front of her.

"Your Highness is safe." Xu Yan will never forget this voice. She looked down at the man in front of her and raised his head to look at her.
