Listening to the laughter of the people in front of him, Ge Yuanhui's face became stiff and uncomfortable, so he made up an excuse and stood up to leave.
When Fu Rongxin saw this, he quietly followed.
She thought to herself: "It seems Xue Zhiyi really believes that her miserable past life was due to her failure to become the Princess of Gong. So, in this life, she is trying her best to please the Queen Mother in order to increase her chances of marrying Gu Shichong."
If this is the case, Xue Zhiyi is nothing to be afraid of.
However, it would be even more satisfying if I could eat away at Xue Zhiyi's life bit by bit before that, making her suffer and fall into despair!
Seeing Ge Yuanhui stopped in the small pavilion of Wangchun Garden, Fu Rongxin followed him.
In the small pavilion, Ge Yuanhui just looked at the magnolia flowers in front of him in silence. Even though he was extremely angry in his heart, he still had to pretend to be calm on the surface, even when he was alone.
"Ms. Ge." Fu Rongxin called out from behind her.
Ge Yuanhui turned around, a gentle smile on her stunningly beautiful face. "It's Miss Fu. Why are you here when you're not at Juyuan with Miss Xue?"
Ge Yuanhui wanted to play the role of gentle and generous, so Fu Rongxin would not expose her.
She said, "Rong Xin had heard of Sister Yuan Hui's reputation when she was in Linzhou. Seeing her today, I can see that she is truly extraordinary and impressive."
Ge Yuanhui uttered an "oh" and plucked a white magnolia bud from the branch, playing with it in his hands. "So, the Fu family's sister came all the way here to look for me?"
Fu Rongxin smiled gently: "Sister, you spoke for me just now. I am grateful and want to thank you in person."
Hearing this, Ge Yuanhui said, "Sister Fu is too polite."
Seeing her fiddling with the magnolia buds, Fu Rongxin asked for conversation: "Sister, do you like magnolia flowers?"
Ge Yuanhui simply smiled with an ambiguous smile. "Who wouldn't like flowers blooming this beautifully? However, we need to remove these tender buds from the old tree to avoid disrupting the primary and secondary flowers, and to ensure the magnolias continue to bloom more and more. If these tender buds don't understand, we'll have to have them pinched off, don't you agree?"
Fu Rongxin's smile froze: Ge Yuanhui was expressing his dissatisfaction with her being favored by Prince Gong, and was using this flower to give her some advice.
However, she seemed not to understand. She took a brocade box from Caizhi's hand and said to Ge Yuanhui, "Sister, you have a unique perspective. Rongxin's admiration for you is beyond words. I can only give you this small gift. I hope you won't despise it."
After saying that, she unfolded the brocade box.
There was a bracelet in the box, each bead was crystal clear and emitted a faint blue light.
"This is a glass bracelet my father brought back from the Western Regions. It's currently unavailable in Dayong territory. Rong Xin thought, 'Sister Yuan Hui, what good things haven't you seen?' Ordinary gold, silver, and jade pieces might not catch your eye, but this bracelet is still quite unique."
Then she offered it with her own hands: "The gift is small but the thought is great. I hope you will accept it."
Ge Yuanhui's fingers were slender and long. She took it and looked at it carefully. She saw that the glass beads had an extremely unique blue color, which made her pair of soft hands as white as snow.
It’s really a good thing.
Quietly observing Ge Yuanhui's expression, Fu Rongxin sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Glass beads are ordinary things, but in Sister Yuanhui's hands, they make people feel bright and shining. Otherwise, why do people say that Sister Yuanhui is so beautiful and has the demeanor of a queen mother?"
This made Ge Yuanhui's expression change instantly: "Sister Fu, you've spoken out of turn."
Fu Rongxin sighed, covering her lips and said, "Sister Yuanhui knows that I'm not good at speaking, and I just sighed for a moment..."
As she spoke, she lowered her voice again, "But sister, this is what I sincerely want. If His Royal Highness Prince Gong wasn't already engaged, then everyone would have already decided on the most suitable candidate for the princess."
Their eyes met, and Ge Yuanhui probed into the innocent eyes in front of him without saying a word.
Suddenly, Fu Rongxin smiled again, as if everything she had just said was just a joke. "It's a pity that His Majesty has already granted the marriage, and the Queen Mother likes my cousin, and my cousin is a good person. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to change."
Seeing that Ge Yuanhui was somewhat distracted, Fu Rongxin bowed gracefully and said, "The glass beads have been delivered. I will not disturb your good mood of enjoying the scenery."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
…
Chrysanthemum Garden.
The Queen Mother asked Xue Zhiyi to talk, and Shen Qingtang didn't want to disturb her, so he just went to find a place to walk around.
This side.
Xue Zhiyi watched the brother and sister chatting with each other, making the queen mother very happy, but he couldn't help feeling sad in his heart that such a warm scene would not last too long.
In her previous life, when she heard the news of their deaths one after another, she was already in Chunfeng Tower. At that time, she only felt sad.
The generals who had made great military achievements in the past fought for Dayong for generations, but not even a trace of their bloodline was left behind.
She glanced at Huo Wuyou.
Even if this person's friend or foe is unclear now, Duke Lin'an died for his country, his daughter should not have been sent to Beidi, and Huo Wuyou should not have died in exile like that.
Noticing Xue Zhiyi's expression, Huo Wuyou turned her head to look over. The moment her eyes met Xue Zhiyi's, she quickly turned away, as if the sadness in her eyes just now was just an illusion.
Perhaps thinking that Xue Zhiyi was in a bad mood, he signaled to Huo Zhiyu with his eyes. Huo Zhiyu then noticed her abnormality and thought that Xue Zhiyi was estranged from them, which was why she felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, a little bit of white snow fell from the eaves outside the window.
Huo Zhiyu's eyes lit up: "Is it snowing?"
Chai Yue, who had been following Huo Zhiyu, asked the palace maid to take a look and then reported: "Princess, it is indeed snowing."
She was so happy that she suddenly pulled Xue Zhiyi's hand and said, "Sister Zhiyi, it's snowing! It's the first snow of the year!"
