Chapter 1548 Encounter

A hint of smile appeared in Si Muzhen's eyes.

"I understand."

Nan Yan lowered her head and drank her tea, but the strange light in Si Muzhen's eyes did not escape her.

She remained calm and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, you came at the perfect time. I've been painting patterns these past few days, and you're here to help me."

"yes."

So the two sisters sat together and drew flower patterns.

On the other side, in Chengqian Palace, Prince Wei Zhu Chengxuan had been studying for most of the day and could finally take a break. He let out a long sigh and reached out to touch his sore neck. The palace maid Yun Jian served him a cup of hot tea.

She said softly, "Your Highness, the Empress also said that after Your Highness finishes his studies, it would be best to take a walk in the Imperial Gardens to avoid damaging your eyes."

Zhu Chengxuan took a sip of tea and asked, "Has the snow stopped outside?"

"It stopped early, the sun is out."

"oh?"

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Bring me my cloak."

"yes."

The little palace maid helped him put on his cloak and boots, and walked out of Chengqian Palace. Sure enough, he saw the bright sunshine outside, shining on the snow on the corners of the walls and eaves, reflecting a dazzling light.

The cool air makes people feel refreshed.

Zhu Chengxuan stretched, jumped down the stairs and ran out.

"Your Highness, wait a minute."

Yun Jian couldn't catch up, so she could only ask Dehai, the young eunuch serving in Chengqian Palace, to catch up. The master and servant disappeared in an instant.

This New Year was the most boring one for Zhu Chengxuan. Although his father did not dislike him for anything, his mother was stricter than usual. She forced him to read books and practice martial arts every day in the first month of the year. He felt really depressed, and when he finally got out, he ran around more actively than usual.

After a while, we arrived at the Imperial Garden.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard a familiar giggle coming from inside. Zhu Chengxuan smiled and said, "Xinping is here too."

He usually spends some time with his sister every day, but because of the heavy workload these days, the two siblings have not been able to play together. When he hears his sister's happy laughter, the haze in his heart is dispelled.

He walked in immediately and looked for the small figure.

"Xinping?"

However, as soon as they entered the Imperial Garden, someone came over from the other side and said, "Princess, please wait for me."

The two people bumped into each other at once.

“Ouch!”

"ah--!"

Zhu Chengxuan's body swayed a bit, but he managed to stand firmly. However, the little girl suddenly fell to the ground and let out a cry.

Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards her: "Did you fall? Get up quickly and let me see."

The little girl only glanced at him, a look of surprise and panic on her face. She quickly shook her head, but did not grab his hand. Instead, she supported herself on the ground and stood up, saying, "I, I'm fine."

“…”

Zhu Chengxuan looked at the somewhat unfamiliar girl in front of him.

She was about the same age as herself, with almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and picturesque features. She wore a light red dress, which made her look fair and cheerful. Especially with two ribbons on both sides of her hair hanging by her ears, she looked even more delicate and lovely.

Zhu Chengxuan was stunned for a moment.

He said, "You are——"

Standing in front of him was Gu Qiqing, who had come to the Imperial Garden with Xinping.
