There was no mother-in-law on top of Yin Ruzhu, so she led the female relatives of the Duke's residence to welcome her to the second gate.
There are many female relatives in the Duke's residence, and the cousins of the second, third, and fourth bedrooms rush to the front. No matter how old they are, whether they are married or not, when they meet the prince, they are all shy and timid, and show off their beauty.
He wanted to be in the limelight and attract the prince's attention, but he was also afraid that his thoughts would be obvious and make others laugh.
Zhen Qingyin was as usual, with downcast eyebrows and eyes, staying in an inconspicuous corner and kneeling along with everyone.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"
"Today I'm here to visit relatives. Aunts don't need to be polite." The prince stretched out his hand to help her, with a slight smile on her lips.
The bright winter sunshine hit his face, making his warm face as white as snow, and his smiling eyes as clear as ice.
This smile dazzled the young ladies and made their faces blush with embarrassment.
Yin Ruzhu greeted her affectionately, and while the prince listened, he glanced at her, and the smile in his eyes couldn't help but grow stronger.
Zhen Qingyin still lowered her head as before, letting him see only the lower half of her face.
But this time, he picked her out from the crowd at a glance.
That conspicuous big bee, that conspicuous system panel, it was difficult for him not to recognize her.
He heard the big bee chattering like a mosquito: "He's coming, he's coming!" The hero is coming towards you! Host, come on! The hero has arrived! Ahhhh, I beg you, please do a task. If you do a task, no one will die, but if you don’t do the task, people will really die. You will die, and I will die too! 】
"Your Highness! Your Highness?"
When the prince came to his senses, he saw that the big bees were really noisy, making him unable to hear his aunt's words clearly. No wonder Zhen Qingyin always hides in the corner and seldom communicates with others.
If it were him, he would also be autistic.
"I specially asked the chef of the East Palace to make some snacks for my uncle, aunt, and cousins. Feng Youxi, distributed the gifts that I brought to everyone."
Feng Youxi responded happily.
He had selfish motives. The box he gave to Zhen Qingyin was the fullest and heaviest, and he was the best cook in the East Palace. He would never let the young lady of the Zhen family have a bad impression of His Royal Highness.
Zhen Qingyin almost fell down when she took the food box.
Too heavy!
She suspected that someone from the East Palace put a weight in the food box.
Maid Nan Xingji was very good at observing people's words and hurriedly took the food box over.
Zhen Qingyin didn't let go immediately because she was afraid that Nan Xing would make a fool of herself.
It wasn't until Nanxing felt the weight of the food box that she slowly let go.
Nan Xing gritted his teeth and learned the essence of keeping a low profile from his master. He even made red marks on his hands and never called for help.
Zhen Qingyin happened to be standing under a plum tree.
The prince raised his head, seemingly admiring the plum blossoms, but in fact he was looking at the system panel above her head.
The panel information I saw today is almost the same as what I saw that day.
The tenth task in the previous chapter, "The target of the attack drinks the wine you poured yourself" is no longer there, and has been replaced by "The target of the attack accepts the plum blossoms you folded by yourself."
The strategy progress has changed from "0" to "5", and the mission completion has changed from "1/10" to "1/11".
interesting.
Big bees are very adaptable.
Everyone was grateful and thanked him.
The prince smiled humbly and said: "It's not a reward, it's a gift. Today I came to the house to disturb you all. These snacks are just my small thoughts."
Yin Ruzhu praised the prince for being a gentleman and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, should you go to the Nuang Pavilion to warm up first, or should you just go to the Plum Grove to appreciate the plum blossoms?"
"Go to Merlin."
"Okay, okay, Your Highness is here with your concubine."
Yin Ruzhu called a few brothers to accompany the prince. She was so busy that she ordered everyone to arrange a plum appreciation banquet.
Zhen Qingyin naturally fell at the bottom.
Song Xiang knew that his cousin was timid and was afraid of meeting strangers, so he didn't bother her and just surrounded the prince like a lively lark.
The prince praised her: "Lively and cute."
She smiled and rolled her eyes, ran to the end, and told Zhen Qingyin the exact words.
He raised his little head and asked for praise.
Zhen Qingyin helped her tighten her hood and smiled sweetly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, our little Xiang'er is lively and cute."
Song Xiang was satisfied and ran back again.
The prince was turning around a screen wall. In the ice and snow, he suddenly saw a field of red plum blossoms, and the cold plum fragrance hit his nostrils. It was exactly:
The calyx contains snow at the beginning, so it is difficult to mark the painting alone.
There is a unique charm in the fragrance, and it is extremely clear and does not know the cold.
The prince's dark eyes were suddenly lit up by the red color. He raised his palm and praised: "Uncle, you must not deceive me. The plum blossoms bloomed really well this year!"
Yin Ruzhu smiled and said: "Those old plum blossom trees were planted by the imperial concubine herself when she was in her boudoir. The Duke of Guo divided the trees many times and raised them for twenty years before we had this plum blossom forest now."
Today is the time when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and it is rare for the Imperial Concubine to leave the palace. A few days ago, the Duke sighed and said it was a pity, so the concubine suggested that it would be better to invite the Crown Prince to come and appreciate the plum blossoms. When he returned to the palace, he told the Concubine that she would definitely come and see the plum blossoms. Have fun. "
"My aunt is a considerate person." The prince smiled and took the lead to walk to the plum blossom forest. "The plum blossoms are blooming so well. I am so happy that I have the audacity to ask my aunt for a few branches. Before returning to the palace, my aunt should not forget to ask Feng Youxi to take the plum blossoms with her. superior."
"It should, it should." Yin Ruzhu responded, but her heart was moved.
