Chapter 26 Snow Viewing

Snowflakes fell on the pink camellia, and the delicate camellia stamens shivered. Wei Qingcheng opened the window, stretched out her white, almost transparent fingers, caught a complete snowflake and observed it carefully...

I want to see him but I don’t dare to. When I see him, my face turns red and my heart beats fast. I want to stay by his side all the time but I’m afraid he’ll get bored…

Is this what yearning is?

Is this emotion falling in love with someone?

Wei Qingcheng stood barefoot on the ground. A few days ago, Xie Jingyu had someone use the wolfskins of the three wolves to make this carpet. His toes curled up on the soft, furry carpet. His mind kept thinking about the things that happened with Xie Jingyu over and over again.

Touching my burning cheeks, I'm afraid we can no longer be good friends...

Xie Jingyu had been feeling a bit depressed lately. Ever since the hunting trip that day, Qingcheng had ignored him and always avoided him, even sleeping in the same room with him.

In the past, if I played tricks and pretended to be pitiful, he would let me stay overnight, but now it doesn't work anymore.

Could it be that he was bored in the mansion? The palace happened to hold a snow-viewing banquet, which might help him relieve his boredom.

He pushed open the door and saw someone standing barefoot on the floor. Seeing him coming, he tried to hide back in bed.

"There will be a snow-viewing banquet in the palace tomorrow. Come with me."

The quilt was tightly covering the man's face, and a muffled sound came out: "Hmm,"

Xie Jingyu closed the door and clenched his fingers. He thought that they could at least treat each other with respect, but he didn't expect to be rejected so quickly and become a divorced husband...

…

The next morning, Steward Song harnessed the carriage, and Wei Qingcheng led Su Cheng, who was resting, into the carriage.

Both of them were dressed warmly. One was warned by his mother not to catch a cold, while the other was warned by his lover not to get sick. So they were both very obedient.

Xie Jingyu sat opposite them, his narrow eyelids sliding. Looking at them like this, they looked like a family. He, the divorced husband, was about to be kicked out of the house.

Along the way, with Su Cheng there, the whole carriage was filled with laughter.

"Brother, the teacher said the other day: Don't let people praise your good looks, just let your pure spirit fill the universe. He also said that you should judge people by their character and behavior, and the same is true for marrying a virtuous wife. Brother, will you marry a virtuous wife or a beautiful one in the future?"

"You little brat, you're testing your brother," Wei Qingcheng raised the corner of her lips and tapped Su Cheng's nose.

"Brother, please tell Xiao Cheng quickly, Xiao Cheng wants to know!" Su Cheng raised his big eyes and asked pleadingly,

Wei Qingcheng glanced at Xie Jingyu, holding her wrist and said, "Can't she be both beautiful and well behaved? Brother likes this kind of girl."

Su Cheng finally found a solution, clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother is really awesome, just take both, no need to choose!"

When Wei Qingcheng heard that the child had misunderstood, she said, "Ah, that's not what I meant!"

The two of them were playing and laughing in the carriage, and Xie Jingyu's eyes became more and more serious.

"Get out of the car,"

Xie Jingyu went to help Wei Qingcheng as usual.

Wei Qingcheng stretched out her hand out of habit, but suddenly retracted it, "Your Majesty, I'll do it myself."

He lifted a strand of black hair from his temples with his slender fingers and tucked it behind his ear. His voice was elegant and gentle.

Xie Jingyu's heart was like the first snow falling from the sky, cooling down step by step.

"Well, be careful, the ground is slippery."

"Brother, uncle, let's go in quickly!" Su Cheng was carried down by the driver, his little feet making crunching sounds on the ground, and the three of them left their mark on this first snowfall together.

…

The tall dwarf pines still stand upright in the snow, and the red plum blossoms with buds on their branches decorate the garden and become the highlight of the garden.

"It is indeed a good place to enjoy the snow. Your Majesty, can we also move a few red plum trees into our courtyard?"

"Okay, as long as you like it."

While talking, he walked up to the people.

"Your Highness, I, your son, and I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress! Noble Consort Jing, Noble Lady Ning, and Concubine Jia..." The three of them bowed together and said a few auspicious words.

The queen looked calm and didn't embarrass them any more. She waved her hand.

Imperial Concubine Jing looked at Su Cheng and raised her eyebrows: "Is this the companion that Si'er wanted to choose? He is obedient and cute, but it's a pity. If he is the prince's heir..."

Before she finished her words, Xie Jingyu mercilessly rejected his face.

"This king does not like children,"

She snorted coldly and stopped talking, and went back to teasing the rabbit in her arms.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Wei Qingcheng regretted herself. She had clearly planned to divorce Xie Jingyu when he found a lover, and they would have nothing to do with each other in the future, whether it was having children or getting married or having funerals.

Now that I have fallen in love with him, and even with the title of princess, I have blocked Xie Jingyu's path to having children. What should I do?

He doesn't like children, probably to comfort his heart. Whoever marries such a good girl like Xie Jingyu will be blessed in the future, but what should he do?

My sister said that happiness is only in our own hands, so I should give it a try!

His mind suddenly became clear, and Xie Jingyu forcefully led him to Meixiang Pavilion.

As expected, Li Yi was also in the pavilion. He listened to the two people's conversation and sat at the table with Su Cheng to taste the ripe Pu'er tea.

His mind drifted far away. He held the sachet in his hand, thinking about how to talk to Xie Jingyu. He patted the sachet again, trying to make him lose the wrinkles.

"What a unique sachet. A beautiful woman with a sachet, what a wonderful combination!"

A pair of black boots with bells on them appeared in Wei Qingcheng's eyes. He looked up and saw a man in a dark green cloak standing in front of him. His temperament was very inconsistent with his words.

Although he speaks frivolously, he actually has an elegant and scholarly air.

The black pupils are larger than those of ordinary people, and when they smile, they look cute and lively.

"What a lively person,"

This was the first time Wei Qingcheng used the word "vivid" to describe a person, but he could not find another word.

"Fresh! This is the first time someone has said this to me. Beauty is truly unique!"

"Mr. Lin is really bold. This is Princess Hexuan. You can't call her beautiful lady."

Li Yi seemed to know him, but they were not very familiar with each other.

On the other hand, Xie Jingyu seemed not to have seen all this and did not react. He just picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Master Lin was not embarrassed by Li Yi's scolding. He smiled apologetically and bowed: "I'm sorry, Prince Hexuan, I'm sorry, Princess!"

"Princess, can you allow me to rest here for a while?"

It's not like we can't sit here. Wei Qingcheng nodded. He was very interested in "lively" people like Mr. Lin.

He said something to Xie Jingyu, and then took Su Cheng with him, imitating Master Lin's behavior, leaning lazily on the railing.

Wei Qingcheng stared at Master Lin's crescent-shaped eyes and asked, "Your pupils are so big and black, are they natural?"

"Yes, did it scare you?"

"No, no, I just think it's very unique and beautiful." He waved his hands quickly.

Afraid that the other party might misunderstand, he continued to add: "Mine is brown, and my mother also said it is unique, and yours is the same."
