Therefore, he could only wait eagerly for the Flower Festival every year, hoping to meet her by chance.
Even though Su Jingyao was always with her brother Su Jingxuan, he shamelessly stayed just to be closer to her.
Originally, he was looking forward to proposing to Su Jingyao as soon as she had her coming-of-age ceremony this year.
But now, everything has become a bubble, and his heart is full of bitterness and helplessness.
Si Nanyu raised his eyes in disappointment, and looked inadvertently in a certain direction, when a beautiful figure suddenly caught his eye.
The back figure was graceful, as if carrying a mysterious attraction. He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.
However, when the woman suddenly looked up, he saw her profile clearly. Although she was wearing a veil, he could clearly recognize that it was Su Jingyao, whom he had been thinking about.
A young man beside Si Nanyu noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Si Nanyu woke up as if from a dream and came to his senses. "Nothing, this prince has something to do today, so I won't accompany you. You guys go shopping."
After saying that, he chased straight in the direction of Su Jingyao without caring about the reactions of the young men and women around him.
His eyes followed her closely, afraid of losing her in the crowded crowd.
Su Jingyao knew that the fish had been hooked, so she walked forward slowly with Miaoyun and Miaoxue.
Her graceful figure is particularly eye-catching in the crowd, as if everything around her is her foil.
At the end of Linlang Street, there is a Bodhi tree that has withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain. During the Flower Festival, many people hang colorful paper on the branches, which is called "appreciating red".
If you want to enjoy the red flowers on the Bodhi tree on Linlang Street, you must play the flower order, and only the winner will be qualified to enjoy the red flowers.
Su Jingyao walked towards her destination slowly and steadily. Her steps were light and steady, which neither made Si Nanyu feel that she was deliberately luring him into a trap nor did she skillfully control the distance between them to prevent him from losing her.
When she arrived under the Bodhi tree, quite a few people had already gathered there.
There is a platform in the middle under the Bodhi tree. If you want to enjoy the red flowers under the Bodhi tree, you need to go on the stage and play the flower order. Two people will compete against each other, and only three consecutive wins will be considered successful.
Su Jingyao stood in the crowd, staring at the stage with expectant eyes, a hint of longing and desire in her eyes.
At this moment, Si Nanyu pushed through the crowd and quietly appeared behind her, "Miss Su, why are you here?"
When Su Jingyao heard the familiar man's voice, her heart trembled slightly. She slowly turned her head, and when she saw Si Nanyu, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
A hint of panic flashed across her beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Mr. Si?"
"Why was Miss Su able to come out?" Si Nanyu's tone was full of concern, but also revealed a hint of doubt.
Su Jingyao naturally understood what he meant. Their identities were not to be revealed, so she spoke cryptically, "My husband and I came out together."
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the loss in her heart.
"Then why is Miss Su alone?"
When Si Nanyu saw her disappointment, he felt a dull pain in his heart and continued to ask softly.
"My husband was with my sister. I didn't want to disturb them, so I came out by myself."
Su Jingyao's voice was very soft, with a hint of sadness, as if she had endless grievances in her heart.
But then she raised her head and looked at the stage, and her face returned to its previous expectation.
"Every year my brother brings me to the Bodhi tree to admire the red flowers. This year I will hang up some paper notes and pray for my father, mother, and brother."
There was a sincere smile on her face, as if all the troubles and sorrows had left her.
But in Si Nanyu's opinion, she is even more pitiful now.
Marrying into the imperial palace is a cruel place where you are treated cruelly and you will not even be loved by your husband.
On such an important day as the Flower Festival, the prince actually left her alone and lived alone with the princess.
"Although Miss Su's status is different now, your brother and I are close friends. How about I accompany Miss Su in the flower order and complete the red blossom viewing today?"
Si Nanyu looked at Su Jingyao, his eyes full of expectation and concern.
Su Jingyao looked hesitant. She looked at Si Nanyu, then at the stage. She felt a little conflicted, but still refused.
"Master Si, that's not necessary. I can go on stage and perform the flower order by myself. My status is different now, so it's better not to cause more trouble for Master Si."
This flower order is a duel between two people, or it can be said to be a duel between two teams, but each side has a maximum of two people. This rule was originally set for some lovers.
Su Jingyao naturally wouldn't go on stage so intimately with a man outside her circle in public.
On Jun Zechen's side, he and Ling Yue were strolling in the bustling flower market.
Ling Yue's eyes sparkled as she looked with fondness at the beautifully cut and packaged bouquets of flowers. An Shun followed closely behind them, occasionally buying some bouquets that Ling Yue liked.
Jun Zechen was bored and looked behind him inadvertently, but did not see Su Jingyao. His brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of worry.
"Anshun, where is the Second Madam?"
There was a hint of urgency in Jun Zechen's voice.
When Anshun heard Jun Zechen's question, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became nervous.
Wasn't the concubine following behind me just now? Why did she suddenly disappear?
"Master, I'll send someone to look for it." Anshun's voice trembled a little.
