Chapter 959 Tips

The soldier replied, "Now that the letter and the gift have been delivered, do you have anything to say or anything to bring to the general? If not, I will go back and report."

"Of course."

Jiang Xiaowei immediately replied: "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Jiang Xiaowei walked into the study and her eyes fell on the pile of letters that had never been sent - those were her heartfelt words written to Lan Feng.

She sat down quietly, picked up the pen and wrote only a few words: "I look forward to your return every day."

She decided to save those private love words for when he returned and tell him in person. At this moment, he just needed to know that someone was waiting for his safe return.

After the messenger soldier left, Jiang Xiaowei immediately began to pack her luggage.

She stroked the plum blossom glass hairpin on her hair. Xiao Zhan was her cousin, and Jiang Xue was Lan Feng's best friend.

Jiang Xiaowei thought that she must prepare a generous gift for Jiang Xue in order to repay Jiang Xue for giving her the dowry given to her by the late queen.

Every other day, Madam Feng would send someone to deliver plum blossom cakes.

Jiang Xue always accepted it and asked someone to feed the cat. After half a month, the cat became round and cute.

On this day, Jiang Xue put on a new dress that had just been sent from the palace. The little maid couldn't help but exclaimed: "The princess is so beautiful."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue smiled slightly, and then the little maid hurriedly knelt down to apologize for inadvertently mentioning Fu Dong's name.

Jiang Xue handled it calmly and did not blame anyone.

Since returning to Beijing that time, Fu Dong has disappeared. Although Jiang Xue sent people to look for him many times, she found nothing.

Facing reality, she had to accept the fact that Fu Dong might have passed away.

However, she chose to remain silent and pretend that Fudong would come back one day.

Xiao Zhan has always been a calm person, so when Jiang Xue learned that he urgently called her out, she was full of doubts.

She hurriedly left the mansion and headed straight for where he was.

When I saw Xiao Zhan, he was concentrating on a booklet in front of the desk.

Driven by curiosity, she came forward and asked softly: "Yun Che, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Zhan handed the book to her with a smile: "This is the latest storybook published in the capital."

"You watch this kind of thing too?" she asked in surprise.

Xiao Zhan smiled gently: "Since I was a child, whenever there is a new storybook published in the capital, I always buy it as soon as possible and prepare to tell it to you."

Although misfortunes prevented him from fulfilling his promise, he always maintained this habit.

"You didn't call me here just to tell me this, did you?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile.

Xiao Zhan took her hand and let her sit on his knees: "Xiaoxue, I miss you so much.

You miss me a lot, right?"

Jiang Xue nodded rapidly: "Yes, I think about you during the day, at night, and even in my dreams."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan smiled with satisfaction: "This is my good princess."

Then she playfully put the storybook back into his hands and said, "Since you're here, why don't you read a passage to me now?"

Xiao Zhan replied: "Okay, but we have to wait until we get on the carriage before we start."

"Where are we going?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

"I want to take you out for a walk and relax!"

In the carriage, Jiang Xue leaned comfortably on Xiao Zhan's legs, listening to his reading. His voice was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable.

After listening to a story, Xiao Zhan said softly: "Xiaoxue, I have a special book that tells our story. Do you want to listen to it?"

"I don't want to listen to those made-up stories."

Jiang Xue hurriedly waved her head and explained, "The plots in the storybooks are often exaggerated. It's okay to listen to them when you have nothing to do. But if it has anything to do with us, it's better to stay away from it."

She knew in her heart that Xiao Zhan was naturally portrayed as perfect in this kind of story. As for herself, she might not even be able to keep a good reputation. She should be thankful that she was not written as a vicious princess.

Xiao Zhan smiled lightly: "It's better not to listen."

After all, in those storybooks, he was always the weak scholar who needed to be saved, and he had to wait for Jiang Xue to come and rescue him every time. It was really boring.

“Yun Che!”

"What's wrong?"

"Where are we going?"

“Guanyin Temple.”

"oh."

Jiang Xue said thoughtfully: "That's indeed a nice place."

Looking back, if it weren't for the secret bag she hung on the wishing tree in the back hill, perhaps their relationship would have taken a long time to become clear, which would have added a lot of regrets.

"Yes, it is special. But..."

Xiao Zhan suddenly held her hand: "There is something I must confess before you go."

Jiang Xue looked at him curiously, with a mischievous light in her eyes: "Are you going to tell me that the Taoist priest who told your fortune in the Guanyin Temple was actually arranged by you in advance?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and admitted: "My Xiaoxue is the smartest, nothing can be hidden from you!"

After arriving at the Guanyin Temple, Xiao Zhan bought her a new brocade pouch and handed her a pen and paper for her to write down her wish: "I had to take your brocade pouch last time, so I'll give you a new one this time."

"But the lucky bags you took off last time belonged to more than just me. Do you want to compensate me one by one?"

"Why bother with other people?"

Xiao Zhan said softly, "It doesn't matter to them that other people's lucky bags were taken away, because they don't know it was me who did it. I just want to make up for your lucky bag and fulfill your wish again."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue picked up a pen and wrote down her wish, then handed the pen to Xiao Zhan: "Now it's your turn to write."

"No need to write, because your wish is my wish."

"Sure?"

"certainly."

Xiao Zhan said affirmatively: "Even without reading it, I know what you wrote on the brocade bag, because our wishes are the same."

"Guess what I wrote?"

"Now that we have achieved what we wished for, you must have written the four words 'Peace and Prosperity'."

Jiang Xue looked at the words on the note and couldn't help but laugh. Her Yun Che was indeed extremely smart and he guessed it right the first time.

Xiao Zhan helped her put the note carefully into the brocade bag, then took her hand and said, "Xiaoxue, let's go hang the brocade bag containing our wishes on the wishing tree."

When we came under the wishing tree, we saw that the branches were hung with densely packed golden bags, each of which carried people's wishes.

It seems that both they and others have expectations in their hearts.

Jiang Xue said, "I will still hang the sachet on the highest branch this time. I believe no one will be as bored as you to take it down."

Apart from Yun Che, I'm afraid no one would do something that is almost impossible to accomplish.

After saying this, she flew lightly to the top of the tree and solemnly hung the brocade bag on a twig.

As soon as she landed on the ground, Xiao Zhan suggested, "Xiaoxue, how about we go for a walk in the back hills?"
