In my previous life, I was the most downtrodden legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's residence. My birth mother died young, and my stepmother, under the guise of "it's for your o...
Time flows like the gentle flow of water, and before we know it, the Flower Festival has quietly arrived. This Flower Festival is one of the most prestigious and bustling festivals in Beijing. Every day, the entire capital seems to be infused with fresh vitality. Every household happily ventures out to enjoy the vibrant spring scenery, admiring the blossoms and feeling the vibrant vitality of nature. The streets and alleys are bustling like a joyful, rushing river, with a variety of exciting activities taking place, heightening the festive atmosphere.
Su Jinli had long awaited the Flower Festival. She had meticulously prepared, asking her eldest sister, Su Qingyao, to help her choose a rosy pink dress. The fabric of the dress was soft and flowing, its hue reminiscent of early spring peach blossoms. Delicate silk thread embroidered with delicate petal patterns, the petals swaying gracefully with her every movement, as if a gentle breeze were caressing them. Her hair was styled in a playful, adorable bun, crowned with the magnolia hairpin gifted by the Empress Dowager. Crafted from smooth jade, the magnolia petals were delicately textured, radiating a delicate fragrance that accentuated her delicate beauty, like a fairy from a painting.
Young Marquis Su could no longer contain his excitement. Like a lively little monkey, he paced back and forth in the yard, carrying his beloved "big knife", and kept urging: "Sister, are you okay? If you don't go out, all the fun things will be snatched away by others!" His anxious look made people laugh.
"I'm coming!" Su Jinli walked out of the room with a smile on her face. Seeing her brother's anxious look, she couldn't help but teasing him, "Look at you, you're as anxious as a little monkey."
"I'm just afraid of delaying your sister from seeing the handsome guy!" Young Marquis Su smiled cunningly, which made Su Jinli raise her hand and tap him lightly on the head.
"You're the only one with such a small mouth."
At this moment, Su Qingyao had also finished dressing up and walked out gracefully. She was wearing a moon-white long dress with elegant orchids embroidered on the hem, which made her look gentle and generous. Seeing Su Jinli's appearance, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed with sincere admiration, "Sister, you are so beautiful today. This jade hairpin makes your skin look even more beautiful, just like the most beautiful flower in spring."
"My eldest sister has a unique vision and can always pick out the most suitable outfit for me." Su Jinli responded with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude towards her eldest sister.
As the three of them were about to leave the house, Su Xiang approached with steady steps. He held a brocade bag in his hand and handed it to Su Jinli with a loving expression, saying, "Here, child. This is the pocket money Daddy prepared for you. When you go out today, have fun and don't let yourself get hurt."
Su Jinli took the brocade bag, feeling it was heavy. A warm current surged in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly: "Thank you, Dad."
"Go ahead, go ahead and enjoy the joy of the Flower Festival." Su Xiang smiled and waved his hand, his eyes full of doting for his daughter.
Stepping out of the Xiangfu, the scene before us was like a vibrant, colorful painting. The streets were bustling like a boiling ocean, filled with people in new clothes, jostling each other shoulder to shoulder. The cries of hawkers and laughter mingled like a joyful melody, echoing in the air. The roadside was filled with a dazzling array of stalls, a dazzling array of goods that was truly breathtaking. There were food stalls emitting enticing aromas, their fragrance drawing people in like invisible hands; there were stalls filled with novel toys, attracting the cheerful gazes of children; and there were stalls filled with gorgeous flowers and plants, each blooming in a dazzling display of spring's splendor.
Su Jinli excitedly pulled Su Qingyao and Young Marquis Su along, glancing around like a cheerful little bird. Whenever they found something they liked, they bought it without hesitation, and soon their hands were filled with a variety of items. Young Marquis Su, like a loyal bodyguard, followed closely behind them, occasionally using his agility to snatch up delicious snacks for them, making the sisters laugh endlessly.
The group strolled to a mask stall, and Su Jinli's eyes were instantly drawn to a fox mask. The mask was exquisitely crafted, its fox figure so lifelike it seemed poised to leap into life. Two tiny rubies were set where the eyes should be. In the sunlight, they shimmered brilliantly, reminiscent of the fox's cunning and lively eyes, exuding a mysterious and captivating aura.
"This mask is so beautiful, it seems to have magical powers that make people unable to take their eyes off it." Su Jinli couldn't help but admire softly.
"If you like it, please buy it. When you put on the mask, you will be as cute as the mischievous little fox." Lingge said with a smile.
Just as Su Jinli was about to reach out to pay, a slender hand suddenly reached out from the side and picked up the mask.
"Boss, I want this mask."
Su Jinli was startled and turned around to look. It was none other than Jiang Yan.
Today, Jiang Yan wore a royal blue brocade robe, the color of the deep night sky, embroidered with delicate cloud patterns in gold thread. As he walked, the clouds seemed to drift across the night sky. He wore a jade pendant at his waist, delicate in texture and exquisitely carved, which only accentuated his upright posture and extraordinary bearing, like a graceful young man from a painting. He held the fox mask in his hand and smiled at Su Jinli, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting.
"Jiang Zhuangyuan? I didn't expect you to come to the Flower Festival too." Su Jinli was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Yes," Jiang Yan nodded gently and handed the mask to Su Jinli, his eyes focused and affectionate. "I give it to you. I hope you like it."
