The warm and powerful hand held her slender white tenderness in time, and brought the bright red to the branches to bloom before letting go.

His palms were not as bright and delicate as the back of his hand, but were rough and dry, big and powerful. Ye Qingyan looked up at him. He was wearing a robe with a python pattern, his ink hair was scattered, and a purple jade dragon pattern hairpin above his head was radiantly flowing. His phoenix eyes were tilted upwards, and an elegant smile hung on his lips.

Ye Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said with a shimmering look: "If the prince doesn't dislike me, I can draw a room."

Xiao Changqi gathered a strand of hair on her ears to her snow-white and plump ears, "Why just start with this one."

"Okay..." Ye Qingyan lowered his head, calmly kept his mind, and continued to paint. The red plums in his hand bloomed in charmingly as she waved ink like dancing.

There were 21 red plums in total. After all, Ye Qingyan put down his pen and sighed happily, "The prince is twenty-one this year, and I will draw twenty-one."

"It seems that I will get a twenty-two plum painting next year." I picked up the drawing paper and looked at the plum painting full of vitality, with bright and enchanting colors and different postures, as if a faint fragrance came to my face.

"As long as the prince doesn't dislike it." Ye Qingyan paints casually and has never practiced it well. But after living for a long time, he has a lot of his own artistic conception in it.

Xiao Changqi is a person who knows painting. He can see the artistic conception in Ye Qingyan's paintings. It is like the soul of a painting and a spiritual painting. Whether it is skillful or clumsy in painting, it is a very good work.

"Prince, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"That's...I want to go to Qiangshan again."

Now the snow on Qiang Mountain has melted, and maybe there are vanillas, so she wants to go and take a look.

Xiao Changqi said without thinking: "No, King Xidi has passed away, the new king ascended the throne, and it is better to go away less now on the side of Xidi."

Ye Qingyan understood that once King Xidi died and the new king ascended the throne, she would soon attack Yan Chao. In this case, she would have to go even more.

"Ten days, give me ten days, I promise to come back. By the way, I can also help you find out the trends on the Xidi border."

"I have a spy, it's not your turn."

"..." Ye Qingyan flattened the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Changqi pitifully, and said coquettishly: "Husband~ I have given you a painting."

Xiao Changqi's heart trembled suddenly, and finally gritted his teeth, "No, I will never agree."

He was about to leave when he spoke, but he still didn't forget to take away the plum painting.

Ye Qingyan hugged his waist, "Husband, just let me go. I am also at the peak of my cultivation level at the level of small realm. Most people can't beat me."

"The earth realm is too small, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches are all great. " She has good qualifications, but she has little practical experience, and she is practicing charming skills. That is to deal with men. Is it possible to use charming skills to other men? How is it possible!

Ye Qingyan was hit, and she always thought that she had good kung fu...

"Then it happens. Send a few people to protect me, that's OK."

"no."

"How do you agree?"

"You can go to other places to collect folk songs."

"Only Qiangshan has that kind of herb. If there are other places, I will definitely go there."

"What do you mean by vanilla? I will send someone to pick it. Even if there is not on Qiang Mountain in half of Jizhou, I will find it for you to cross the mountain."

"That kind of herb is not rare in Qiangshan. It's just that there is a condition when harvesting it. If it needs freshness, it will have that sweet fragrance. If it wilt, it will not have that sweetness when it is dried."

“…Do you have to go?”

"Yes, unless your people, they can make incense. And making incense requires multiple skills such as picking, steaming, cooking, frying, and grinding. If one course is the difference, the fragrance will be a thousand miles away."

"..." Not to mention his subordinates, even he doesn't understand.

"I can accompany the Empress for a trip." A man in white with a gentle and fair-looking face and delicate eyebrows entered the yard.

Ye Qingyan looked over and saw that the person came was thin and thin, as if the wind could squirt away. He put his hands in his wide sleeves and slowly approached Ye Qingyan and Xiao Changqi.

"Ran?" Xiao Changqi looked at the visitor with some surprise, "Are you in good health?"

When Ye Qingyan heard this name, his heart thumped, and then he looked at him again... Yes, does he look like this?

Yet, one of Xiao Changqi's right-hand men has been wearing a mask since his first day as prime minister and has never taken it off in front of anyone until his death. No one knows what he looks like. Or in other words, those who know are either dead or a handful of people. Some say he is as ugly as Zhong Kui, and some say he is more beautiful than Xiao Changqi and Jun like a son of god. Anyway, she has never seen her in her previous life.

For Xiao Changqi's foundation, Ren Ran worked hard all his life. After his death, he had no son or half of his daughter, and only one concubine, who accompanied him after his death. She still remembered that concubine came to find her when she was dying, but she had difficulty getting up at that time and could not see that woman.

In fact, she was also very confused about this person. Because, after Xiao Changqi died, every time she was critically ill, he and the imperial doctor accompanied her to take care of her. But after she got better, she left immediately. If Chunyu hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known that he had been here at all.

"Thank you for your concern. My subordinates are in good health. I am willing to accompany the Empress to Qiangshan."

Ye Qingyan looked at Xiao Changqi and then looked at Renran. She didn't know Renran at this time, so she looked unfamiliar.

Xiao Changqi said to Ye Qingyan: "Ran, the Mubin I value most."

"Oh, Mr. Ren." Ye Qingyan gave a blessing.

Still not humble or arrogant, "Empress do you have a blessing."

"You can go to Qiangshan, but you have to take Renran with you." Xiao Changqi finally took a step back. He trusted Renran's strength, and only with his protection could she let her go.

Ye Qingyan looked at Ren Ran's thin body and his pale face than ordinary people. Only his amber eyes were shining with divine light, revealing a hint of extraordinaryness.

"If he drags me down, I don't promise to leave your Mubin."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changqi smiled.

Ren Ranyi smiled and replied: "Empress, please leave Ren, your safety is the most important thing."

Although he looked thin and had a bad health, he also lived through a seventy-year-old. After Xiao Changqi became emperor, he often confronted Xiao Changqi in the court. Sometimes he was so angry that Xiao Changqi had just stopped his official position and later became accused of it, and he went up and down several times. He was also a legendary figure, so Ye Qingyan was quite curious about it. He could learn more about it with him to Qiangshan.

...

The official apricot blossom forest is in full bloom.

Ye Qingyan dressed as a boy, carrying his own bag, galloped on a horse. After passing through a forest of apricot blossoms, he slowed down and looked at the apricot blossoms, and his breath was filled with the fragrance of apricot blossoms.
