Chapter 18 Memories

This is also the main reason why those noble ladies, even though they obviously dislike each other, still pretend to be kind and gather together.

Gu Jingchun enjoyed the quietness. She leaned on the fence of the pavilion, looked at the rockery casually, and felt the gentle breeze blowing on her face.

Her eyes fell on the rockery.

This rockery has a unique shape and is extremely exquisite.

At this time, the sunlight slanted down from the rockery, and rays of light shone through the gaps in the rockery, falling on the fence in patches.

At first, Gu Jingchun didn't take it seriously and just watched casually.

Finally, her eyes fell on the fence. She found it interesting and looked at it a few more times. Unexpectedly, just this one glance allowed her to see some clues.

It turned out that when the beam of light fell on the fence, a few words appeared under the sunlight.

Gu Jingchun looked at the several beams of light one by one in astonishment.

He actually connected all the words together.

"The long winter ends, and the dead trees bloom in spring."

"A dead tree comes back to life?"

Gu Jingchun spoke softly.

"Snow spray?"

I didn't expect that there was someone in the palace who knew about this flower.

You know, the dignitaries in Tiandu have never been used to this kind of wild flower, so few people know the name of this flower.

Gu Jingchun not only knew it, but also liked it very much.

For a period of time, she even went to the mountains to pick branches of this kind of flowers and put them in a vase. After a few days, the snowflake-like flowers would bloom, which was extremely beautiful.

When Gu Jingchun thought of this, he couldn't help but think of that man again.

Shen Muqian.

At that time, when he broke into his inn with injuries, he broke her vase because of his unstable body, and the newly blooming snowflakes were scattered all over the ground.

Gu Jingchun asked him for a high price in compensation with a cold face. He frowned and nodded in agreement, promising to pay the money in the end.

She cheated some money, happily picked up the snowflakes on the ground, put them in another vase, and carried them to his room.

She pretended to knock on the door twice and then pushed it open.

"This young master..."

Gu Jingchun’s voice suddenly stopped, and what came into view was Shen Muqian’s broad shoulders and lean waist.

His chest was heaving violently with his breathing.

Gu Jingchun's eyes almost popped out of her head until he immediately took up his clothes to cover his exposed skin. Then she realized that the wound on his abdomen was much more serious than she had imagined.

She had been thinking of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, and now she came here just to gain someone's favor, so she immediately pretended to be concerned and walked forward.

"Sir, are you injured?"

And after Gu Jingchun approached, Shen Muqian’s dagger was against her body.

"Heal my wounds, otherwise..."

Gu Jingchun smiled and stretched out a finger to push his dagger back.

Then he looked at him and said with a smile: "You can ask me to treat your injuries, but you have to do odd jobs in my inn to pay off your debts in the future."

Gu Jingchun's voice was hooked and convincing enough, but Shen Muqian had no strength left at that time, so he simply agreed.

Afterwards, Gu Jingchun found a doctor to treat his injuries.

After a month's rest, he started working in her shop.

But, he was really too stupid.

Serving water can spill all over the floor, serving dishes can break plates, and washing clothes can tear them.

He would break the broom while sweeping the floor, and even when doing the most basic task of lighting a fire, he almost burned down the kitchen.

Gu Jingchun sighed, and then tried to let him keep accounts.

Unexpectedly, nothing went wrong this time.

Moreover, she discovered that although Shen Muqian had beautiful handwriting, it was a pity that he was left-handed and was destined to fail the imperial examination.

After that, Gu Jingchun observed for a few more days.

In the end, it was guessed that Shen Muqian must have a good background, a stable temper, and an extremely smart mind. He is a good person.

I believe that the child born to him will have a good foundation.

After confirming all this, Gu Jingchun began to tease him intentionally or unintentionally.

And this snow spraying has become the top priority.

She told him that she loved this kind of flower the most and would send him a bouquet every day.

Of course, this is not because the flower is so beautiful, but because the flower is both beautiful and cheap.

It can be said that it is readily available. She can just pick a handful by going to the mountain.

Gradually, Shen Muqian changed from being the one who received flowers to the one who went to the mountains with her to pick flowers, and finally to the one who delivered flowers.

Before he knew it, he also started picking flowers from the mountain just to give her a surprise.

At that time, she knew that the time was almost up, and Shen Muqian must have fallen in love with her.

So one time when she went to the mountains to pick flowers, she deliberately got lost in the mountains.

Sure enough, Shen Muqian came over in a hurry after dark, and after discovering Gu Jingchun, he nervously held her in his arms.

Gu Jingchun listened to his rapid heartbeat and hugged him.

After that day, the two of them had a mutual understanding, and Gu Jingchun's actions to seduce him became more and more bold.

However, Shen Muqian was a piece of wood. No matter what she said or did, he would stick to his bottom line, silently pushing her away and refusing to obey.

At that time, she began to doubt whether he had been injured fundamentally, otherwise how could he remain calm in the face of such temptation?

Helpless, Gu Jingchun finally drugged himself under the pretext of a bully.

After Shen Muqian rescued himself, Gu Jingchun took the opportunity to pester him and consummate the marriage with him.

It was just that before consummating the marriage, Shen Muqian held her down and said a lot of things to her, and seemed to have promised that he would marry her or something like that.

However, she was feeling so uncomfortable at that time that she didn't hear clearly, so she naturally didn't take it to heart.

From then on, the relationship between the two progressed by leaps and bounds, and they began to live a shameless life.

And this snowflake spray became a token of love between the two.

Of course, this is Shen Muqian’s unilateral opinion.

At first, Gu Jingchun just thought the flower was okay, but gradually he got used to it.

So much so that now, she would subconsciously put this kind of flower in a vase.

Unfortunately, since arriving in Tiandu, this flower that can be seen everywhere has become hard to find.

******

When Gu Jingchun thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that I can't forget this man.

When the matter in Tiandu was settled, she ordered people to secretly search for and write down Shen Muqian’s whereabouts.

As soon as Gu Jingchun had this thought, he quickly shook his head.

She almost forgot that she was going to marry Luo Ziqian, so how could she change her mind and look for other men?

Let’s just forget it.

In just a moment, Gu Jingchun dismissed the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind.

At this time, there were three more words under the original line of small characters on the railing.

"Snow spray."

By the time Gu Jingchun reacted, the words had already been written.

Gu Jingchun helplessly put the hairpin on her head.

I suddenly felt a little regretful.

This is the imperial palace, so don't cause any unnecessary trouble.

But then I thought, it was just such a subtle sentence, it must have been a naughty act by a palace maid while cleaning, and no one would probably notice it.

Gu Jingchun felt relieved when he thought of this.

She wanted to cross out these three words.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and Gu Jingchun quickly looked over.

I don't know who shouted softly.

"The Third Prince is here."
