Chapter 368 Princess's Skirt 14
"Later, follow your mother to the Moon Worship Tower. You can see the entire East Garden. You can choose any of Daye's men. Once you have chosen one, your father will issue an order -"
Gu Li's smile of admiring the beauty froze, and she pursed her lips, "Mother, isn't such a beautiful woman attractive? Why are you in such a hurry to marry Gu Li'er off? I still want to stay by your side and accompany my father and mother."
The Queen felt the temperature of Gu Li's hand and it was warm. "No matter how beautiful they are, can they be as pretty as my little Thirteen? I want to see beauties, and I only need to look at you, a naughty ghost!"
"Mother is wrong. If you want to see a beauty, just look at yourself in the mirror-----"
"You are so mischievous that you actually tease your mother?" The Queen spoke harshly, but there was a smile on her face.
After pacifying the Queen, Gu Li found an excuse and took her chief maid Caiyi to leave the West Garden.
The plum blossoms in early winter have not yet fully bloomed, but the fragrance of the plum blossoms lingers in the nose.
She had nowhere to go, and in order to avoid being caught by her mother and taken to meet her prince consort, Gu Li had no choice but to follow Meilin inside.
Going deeper and deeper.
The snow on the periphery had been trampled and cleared by the palace maids and eunuchs, and only the snow deep in Merlin was intact.
The bright white snow covers the yellow and red flower buds, just like a candied haws wrapped in a cloud, which is very lovely.
Gu Li likes it very much.
Her smile is brighter than the plum blossoms on the branches.
He bent down to pick up a dead branch on the ground, shook it casually, and the next second he threw it on a branch covered with snow.
There was a snap sound.
What followed was a series of "pa pa pa" sounds.
The branches were shaking.
The white snow fell down, and the white was mixed with red and yellow petals, or whole flower buds.
Brutal destruction of flowers.
"Princess, does your hand hurt?" When Caiyi saw the princess stop, she hurriedly wanted to check the princess's hand holding the wet branch.
The princess's hands were soaked in milk and flower petals every day, so how could she hold rough and dirty branches with her bare hands?
Caiyi didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Li's beating of Meizhi Luoxue. In her eyes, the princess was definitely a very good master except for her temper.
After venting her frustration, Gu Li took the handkerchief handed to her by Cai Yi and wiped her hands, "Cai Yi, pick a nice-looking plum branch to take back and put in the vase!"
"Yes."
Gu Li threw away the dirty handkerchief and walked deeper into the cave.
She likes plum blossoms, but so what if she likes them so much? If she’s in a bad mood, it deserves its bad luck!
The princess’s things cannot be thrown outside at will. Caiyi picked up the handkerchief on the ground and followed the princess, looking around to see if there were any beautiful plum branches to pick.
Although the East Garden and the West Garden are two separate gardens, the plum forest is connected. Outside the plum forest is a mountain. There are no wild animals on the mountain, only rabbits, foxes, deer and other small animals raised by the palace servants for the palace nobles to enjoy.
Shen Qingzhou, who also didn't want to be seen by others, hid in the mountain early, but was disturbed by the young men who came into the mountain to hunt, so he retreated into the plum forest.
In his previous life, he also came here to appreciate the plum blossoms.
With the little princess.
Shen Qingzhou did not bring any servants with him. He was standing alone behind an old plum tree, wearing a white round-necked brocade robe with dark patterns on it. He was caught off guard and saw the little princess who had strayed into the depths not far away.
He hadn't seen her for a long time. He was stunned by her.
The little princess was wearing a cloak. The fluffy red fox fur around the hood of the cloak made her face look even more delicate. Her eyes were moist, but now they were cold. Her cherry-red lips were tightly pursed, indicating that she seemed a little unhappy.
What could happen or who could make her frown?
Shen Qingzhou subconsciously thought about some recent news in the palace. When he came back to his senses, he regretted why his emotions were led by the little princess again.
He didn't say anything, hiding his body so as not to let the little princess see him.
But a pair of eyes still uncontrollably followed the bright figure moving slowly in the snow.
Gu Li walked a few steps forward and found someone hiding not far away. Fortunately, she had just vented the inexplicable irritation in her heart, and she had accumulated a little patience.
Gu Li stopped, turned her head and accurately caught that hidden gaze.
When their eyes met, neither of them dodged.
Compared to Gu Li's sharp and emotionless gaze, Shen Qingzhou was caught off guard and wanted to avoid it.
But soon, he looked at the little princess again.
This was a look in the eyes of the little princess that he had never seen before. Her eyes were sharp and contained a hint of provocation that went straight into his heart.
A dark mass gathered in those eyes that should have been clear and carefree, as if they could see through everything and see through him in one blow.
Why was she looking at him like that?
The only time they had met in this life was when he saved her from the rain when they were young. After that, he could only occasionally see her from afar at palace banquets.
At this moment, Shen Qingzhou became more certain of his guess.
If his guess is true, then the changes in the little princess in this life make perfect sense.
Just when Shen Qingzhou wanted to step forward and ask, the little princess did not give him the opportunity.
Gu Li turned around and walked away quickly in the direction she came from.
The red cloak could not hide the intricate and gorgeous palace skirt underneath. The flowing skirt gently swept over the clean snow, swung away gracefully, and quickly retreated.
The little princess left without looking back.
Shen Qingzhou followed for two steps and then stopped.
The West Garden was in front of him, and he couldn't catch up. Moreover, he didn't know what he could say to the little princess even if he caught up.
Ask her if it still hurts?
Or ask her if she can let the Shen family go in this life.
Gu Li left before the plum blossom viewing banquet was over.
As for her husband, it ended in vain again.
Li Shao from Dongyuan was having a great time hanging out with a group of young men, and had no intention of looking for a girl.
The only one who was worried was the Queen.
As soon as the plum blossom viewing banquet ended, the queen began to think about when the next banquet would be held.
However, Gu Li knew that she would not be able to hold any large banquets this year because in half a month, Huaizhou would have a snowstorm that would not happen in a century.
That was also the reason why the Crown Prince was banished to the imperial mausoleum to repent and atone for his sins.
The first snow of this year lasted for five days. It finally stopped, but it was still cloudy. Gu Li felt like she was going moldy while staying in the princess's mansion.
She simply took Caiyi and quietly slipped out of the princess's mansion and went to play on the street.
In order to have fun, Gu Li deliberately dressed up as a man. She wore a gorgeous smoky purple brocade robe, a gold-threaded jade belt, and a black round jade pendant around her waist, looking like a handsome and wealthy young man.
"Princess, should we bring Commander Hu with us?" Caiyi felt it was unreliable that the princess was holding a delicate little fan in her hand in the middle of winter.
