The man in front of him was dressed in blue brocade clothes, with warm brows and a harmless smile on his lips, making him feel like he was taking a breath of spring breeze.

Zhen Shan's eyes turned cold. She looked at Yue Ya'er, who was holding the man's hand, and waved, "Yue Ya'er, come over here."

Crescent Moon ran over and handed a wrinkled plum blossom in her hand to her, "Auntie, here it is."

Zhen Shan touched her head gently and took the plum blossom, "Are you tired?"

Yue Yaer yawned, and for some unknown reason, her intelligence returned to that of two or three years old, and her body seemed to have returned to that time, and she slept for a particularly long time in a day.

Zhen Shan was worried, but Granny Gu checked and said there was nothing serious, it should be a psychological effect.

"Xiang'er, take Miss back to the house to rest."

"Yes, madam," Xiang'er said to Zhen Shanfu and walked into the house holding Yue Ya'er.

But before she left, she took a respectful and careful look at the man in Tsing Yi.

"The Emperor of Yue has come to visit us, but we cannot welcome him from afar," Zhen Shan opened her lips and spoke indifferently.

When she was looking at him just now, Yan Shao was also looking at the woman in front of him.

She was wrapped in a thick red fox fur cloak, and her dark hair was held up only by a jade hairpin. She lazily nestled on the pillow, her little face buried in the originally generous cloak, and she turned to one side slightly.

Stunning beauty in the world, beauty unparalleled.

It's just that those pair of phoenix eyes were pitch black and bottomless, as if they were empty and terrifyingly cold after the bright stars in the sky disappeared. But when she looked at the little girl, the gentle light that brightened again was fascinating.

Hearing her words, the smile on Yan Shao's lips deepened. Not surprisingly, she could guess his identity.

How could the female regent who once terrorized the world be so simple?

He nodded slightly and said, "Miss Zhen, I have admired your name for a long time."

Zhen Shan’s eyebrows are slightly raised. What’s your name?

The famous person who was fooled around by his brother-in-law?

"Why did the Emperor of Yue come here? Do you want to get rid of me, the scourge of Feng Yin who is still struggling to survive?"

"Miss Zhen, don't get me wrong. I just came to Aye's house for some business. I passed by the plum garden and met Yue Ya'er. I was worried about the slippery road in the snow, so I sent her back."

"Really?" Zhen Shan was noncommittal.

She stopped talking and didn't invite Yan Shao to sit down.

She is not the owner here, so does it have to be her turn to entertain guests?

Even if the other party is the emperor, he is also the emperor of the Yue Kingdom. What kind of superficial tricks does she have to do for a person who has subjugated her country?

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a moment. Yan Shao looked at her and was about to leave.

"The plum blossoms probably won't bloom very well this year."

Yan Shao was slightly startled and saw her looking in an unknown direction and murmuring softly.

They were obviously plain words, but they were inexplicably sad.

Yan Shao was silent and said gently: "No, the plum blossoms are blooming beautifully."

Zhen Shan looked at him, "Really?"

Yan Shao nodded gently, "Yeah."

Zhen Shan stretched out her hand, and with a gust of cold wind, the white snow fell on her palm, slowly melting, and finally there was nothing left.

Just like her, she once had everything, but in the end it was like snow in the palm of her hand, leaving nothing behind.

Yan Shao looked at her, his eyes gradually becoming hazy.

…

The next morning, she just woke up. The faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingered on the tip of her nose. Zhen Shan was startled and looked at the small table that was spread around. A plum blossom in full bloom was placed in a jade vase.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, everything withers away. The red plum blossoms bloom alone, facing the wind and snow. However, no matter how tenacious they are, they cannot stop the fate of withering.

There is no room in the world for those who stand out.

Zhen Shan didn't realize it before, but now he understands this sadness unforgettable.

In the past, she loved the beauty of peach blossoms ushering in spring, but now she can only be sentimental about winter plum blossoms. Oh, she is also capable.

Zhen Shan lowered his eyes, suppressing the vulnerability that he shouldn't have. When he raised his head again, he was already indifferent.

She looked at the maid who was holding toiletries and didn't dare to disturb her in the slightest, and asked lightly: "Where did these plum blossoms come from?"

"Madam, the housekeeper heard that you and the lady like plum blossoms, so he specially asked someone to cut them."

"Well, where's Yue Ya'er?"

"Miss, I'm playing in the side hall, waiting for you to have dinner with me."

Zhen Shan nodded, "Let's change clothes."

"yes."

For many days in a row, Zhen Shan could see blooming red plums every day when he woke up.

Her eyes moved slightly, but she said nothing and didn't pay much attention.

New Year's Eve arrived unknowingly, and Yan Ye hadn't come back yet. Naturally, Zhen Shan wished that he would never come back.

After replacing the old with the new, Yue Yaer took the window grilles and couplets, followed by a group of maids, and went about their business in a decent manner.

At noon, dumplings were being made in the kitchen. She shook Zhen Shan's hand and said she wanted to go.

Zhen Shan smiled and nodded, not restraining her. It was a good thing that her temperament became more and more lively, and it would also help her condition.

Just waiting for her to come back, in addition to the extra food boxes carried by the maid, the little girl brought another uninvited guest.

Zhen Shan raised her eyebrows, the emperor of Yue Kingdom was really busy.

"Aunt."

The little girl threw herself into Zhen Shan's arms, "Uncle, uncle, come here."

Zhen Shan felt unspeakable in his heart when he either called her her enemy uncle or uncle, but he also knew that she didn't understand anything now. Yan Ye and the others did treat her very well on the surface, which led to her feeling close to him.

After what happened last time, Zhen Shan did not dare to provoke her any more. He sighed, raised his hand and gently wiped off the flour on her face, and ordered the maid: "Take the young lady to freshen up first."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhen Shan stood up and looked at Yan Shao, "Yue Ya'er is ignorant, don't blame the Emperor of Yue."

Yan Shao looked at the plum blossoms placed next to her. He remembered that when she pinched and played with it before, the beautiful red plums were not as colorful as hers. He smiled gently, "Miss Zhen, you are serious."

Zhen Shan nodded lightly and was about to go back to the house when he heard the other party ask in a warm voice: "I would like to ask, can I ask Miss Zhen for a cup of tea?"

Zhen Shan's eyes moved slightly, "Is there anything in the world that is not a royal land? You are the emperor of the Yue Kingdom, and I am just a prisoner. You don't need to ask my permission for anything you do."

Yan Shao explained nervously: "That's not what I meant."

"The Emperor of Yue does what he wants."

Yan Shao sighed softly, "Then don't disturb the girl first and say goodbye."

He looked at her, turned and left.

Then, the servants brought some food boxes, saying they were delicacies served in the palace on New Year's Eve.

Zhen Shan's eyes fell on these food boxes, and he reached out to open the lid. The aroma of food filled the whole room, and they were filled with hot vegetarian snacks that looked very appetizing.

After she recovered, she basically couldn't eat anything meaty. The palace banquet was nothing more than delicacies from mountains and seas. But now the food box is full of vegetarian dishes. One can imagine the intentions of those who appreciate the dishes.

Looking at these dishes, Zhen Shan's eyes were unfathomable.

Grandma Gu said that her yard is now a forbidden area of ​​the Yue Regent's Palace, and Yan Shao can come and go freely, hinting the housekeeper to send her plum blossoms, and serving her food in a grand manner without worrying about the suspicion or complaint from the servants. It seems that Yan Shao

Ye trusted his royal brother very much.

Just like back then, she also had great trust in her imperial sister and never doubted her.

So much so that after Yan Ye returned to Beijing from the coast, her imperial sister came to her mansion again and again, and Xuanyi Wei did not suspect anything.

Oh!

Things in the world are unpredictable and things are changing, which is really interesting.

"Madam, a letter from Your Highness."

The maid came in and handed Zhen Shan a letter with both hands respectfully.

Zhen Shan didn't even look at it, "Burn it."

The maid was in a dilemma, "This..."

Zhen Shan ignored her and called Yue Yaer, who had changed into new clothes, to come over for dinner.
