Meishan is a plum blossom viewing resort in the western suburbs of the capital. Plum blossoms are planted all over the mountains, and there is also a plum garden on the top of the mountain.

Everyone can enjoy Meishan, but Meiyuan is privately owned, and each person needs to pay one or two silver coins when entering the park.

The reason why this plum garden is famous all over the world is because when Emperor Yongxi ascended the throne, he praised one of the old plum trees as the best plum tree in the world.

Xu Roujia came to Meiyuan for the first time in his previous life. He came with his grandmother. His grandmother pointed to the old plum tree and said to her mockingly: "Your grandfather has only been out of the capital several times. He has never seen the plum blossoms in the capital. Why do you praise this plant as the best in the world? It is because he is the emperor that the people of the world take his nonsense seriously and even praise him to praise him."

Xu Roujia circled around the mixed old plum tree, and actually felt that grandmother's words made sense.

The second time I went there was Xie Jin took her there after marriage. At that time, Xie Jin booked the entire plum garden...

Xu Roujia stopped the memories in time.

If Zhou Qi hadn't invited him on his own initiative, Xu Roujia really didn't want to go to Meiyuan again.

In order to facilitate travel, Zhou Qi specially prepared a men's clothing for Xu Roujia, with a light apricot-colored round-neck robe, which was slightly larger in size. After Xu Roujia put it on, she had a pink face and apricot eyes, and her eyebrows were beautiful, and she was a bit handsome and handsome.

Xu Roujia changed clothes in Lu's house. When he saw the young niece dressed up, Lu was lying on the bed and laughing: "It looks good. A Tao put on men's clothes and is more handsome than your fourth cousin."

Xu Roujia walked to the mirror and looked carefully. It seemed that she was indeed more refined than Zhou Qi, but she was far less so cold and restrained than Zhou Qi.

It’s like one is a playboy who is ignorant and the other is obviously a pillar of the country in the future.

"Auntie, then we're leaving, you have a good rest."

Xu Roujia finally sorted out the hair scarf on her head and said with a smile.

Lu nodded, watched the little girl walk out with brisk steps, and then looked at the little son in the wet nurse's arms, Lu suddenly felt a strong sense of envy.

She also wanted to go out for a walk. After being locked up in this royal palace for more than ten years, Lu almost forgot what it was like outside.

In the yard, Zhou Qi and Lu Ding stood back and forth, and heard footsteps, they looked forward at the same time.

When Xu Roujia saw him, she paused, then took out the folding fan and opened it. She deliberately fanned like her second cousin Zhou Jun, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired of waiting for me for a long time."

The almond eyes were bright and clear. Zhou Qi drooped his eyes with just one look, and his eyes fell on her chest.

It seems, not particularly obvious.

"Let's go." Zhou Qi said as he turned around.

Xu Roujia curled her lips awkwardly and quickly rushed to chase after her.

.

It was noon at sunset and the carriage finally arrived at the foot of Meishan Mountain.

Meishan is not high, and there is a flat path inside to the top of the mountain, which allows a carriage to pass through at all.

Xu Roujia used to take a bus directly to Meiyuan.

However, this time, the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Roujia was wondering what was wrong, and Lu Ding's voice suddenly came from outside the window: "A Tao, get off the car."

Xu Roujia picked up the curtains and looked out. There seemed to be nothing to get her out of the car.

"What's wrong?" she asked in confusion.

Lu Ding glanced at his noble cousin who had already dismounted and said helplessly: "The Fourth Master said we will walk up the mountain."

Xu Roujia:...

Because there were no other plum viewing tourists around, Xu Roujia approached the window and whispered to Zhou Qi: "Fourth Cousin, the road is too far, I can't walk. Why don't you go up the mountain slowly and I'll go to the plum garden to wait for you first?"

The boy dressed up as a boy and acted coquettishly, which was also unbearable to refuse.

But Zhou Qi is for her own good.

"I won't go to Meiyuan today, I will only go out in the mountains, get off the bus." Zhou Qi said unavoidably.

Looking at the unkind and cold face of the future emperor, Xu Roujia did not dare to disobey and accepted her fate and got off the carriage.

In spring, when flowers bloom, the sun is warm without sunshine, the mountain breeze is gentle, cool and pleasant.

The road entering the mountain is full of plum trees, with plum blossoms as pink as the sea, and occasionally colorful butterflies flying among them. A layer of tender green weeds emerged from the land under the trees, with fresh colors. When people who have lived in high gates and courtyards for a long time came here, their minds became wide open.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, the road under your feet is winding and upward. Before long, Xu Roujia became tired.

"Fourth Cousin, since we don't go to the plum garden, let's enjoy it here and don't go up any longer." Xu Roujia panted and said in the shade of a plum tree.

She was really tired. Standing under the tree, her cheeks were as color as the plum blossoms on her head, and sweat beads appeared on her forehead and nose.

Zhou Qi knew the principle of gradual progress, nodded, pointed to the left and said, "Go to find a place to rest."

After discussion, the three of them were about to walk in, when a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the mountain road behind them. As Xu Roujia turned around, the two horses and the owner on his back had already entered the field of vision. It was Xie Jin and his long follower.

Both sides were shocked when this encounter occurred.

Xie Jin stared at Xu Roujia in men's clothing in disbelief.

After Xu Roujia recognized him, she raised her foot into Meilin.

Zhou Qi walked to her side as usual and walked side by side with her.

When Xie Jin saw this, he unknowingly clenched the reins. Isn’t Zhou Qi still a widow? Why are you willing to accompany her out today? Is it so close that Zhou Qi has other thoughts about her?

Just a thought made Xie Jin's chest burst into flames.

Roujia's cousin is his. Zhou Qi is not worthy of Roujia's cousin, and he is not qualified to marry Roujia's cousin!

Not only Zhou Qi, no man in the world is worthy. Even if he is a shadow, Roujia's cousin's shadow can only stay with him and he will never let other men get involved in his life!

Thinking of this, Xie Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally turned over and dismounted and chased in the direction where the three of them left.

Xu Roujia had already picked a good place to enjoy the plum blossoms. Lu Ding spread the mat he carried with him. Xu Roujia immediately sat on it. If it weren't for the two men around him, Xu Roujia would have wanted to lie down and completely relax her whole body.

Zhou Qi sat opposite Xu Roujia, and there was a four-frame food box between the two, containing four pastries.

Lu Ding did not sit on the mat, but sat under the shade of a tree not far away.

Seeing that Zhou Qi had no intention of greeting Lu Ding, Xu Roujia pursed her lips and said to herself, "I don't know how my sister is doing in the Hou's Mansion."

Lu is just an aunt, and Prince Chun’s mansion cannot be considered Lu Yilan’s family, so after Lu Yilan got married, he did not say that he would go back to the door.

Lu Ding smiled and said, "The Marquis's wife is all heroes, so you won't make things difficult for her, you don't have to worry."

After saying that, Lu Ding was even more worried about his sister.

Zhou Qi suddenly said, "If you want, you can go to the Marquis' Mansion to visit."

Xu Roujia's eyes lit up. Yes, Lu can't leave the house. She is the princess. As long as she coaxes her uncle to agree, isn't it easy to go out?

"Thank you for your reminder, my cousin." Xu Roujia said sweetly.

Zhou Qi didn't look at her, turned his head and looked behind her.

When Xie Jin rushed over, he saw the scene where Xu Roujia smiled at Zhou Qi, but the smile disappeared immediately after discovering him.

Xie Jin's chest was blocked.

Xu Roujia turned her back and handed over the uninvited guest to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi sat upright on the seat and asked Xie Jin coldly: "The prince is here to appreciate the plum blossoms?"

Xie Jin disdained to talk to him and stared at Xu Roujia and said, "I'll come to find her."

Xu Roujia then turned her head and asked lightly: "What's the matter with me? Could it be that I'm here to teach me a lesson that I shouldn't come here to enjoy the plum blossoms on the same day as you?"

Xie Jin pursed his lips and looked to the side and said, "No, come here, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Xie Jin went to the depths of the plum forest first.

Zhou Qi looked at Xu Roujia.

Xu Roujia looked inexplicable. What exactly did she give Xie Jin the illusion that she would follow him obediently?

Of course Xu Roujia would not go, regardless of whether Zhou Qi was present or not.

She didn't say anything, but only pinched a piece of plum blossom cake and took a small bite.

So Xie Jin walked a distance and realized that Xu Roujia did not keep up.

Xie Jin turned around and saw Xu Roujia sitting there eating with relish. His face became more and more ugly. He turned back and said, "I told you to follow me, didn't you hear it?"

Xu Roujia smiled angrily and asked him with a look on his face: "Who are you, why should I obey your order?"

Xie Jin was both angry and shocked. Why didn't this girl look like a minority girl from a small place at all? With his identity, not to mention a minority girl, even the ladies of the official households were willing to obey him.

Therefore, Xie Jincai didn't expect that this niece of Tofu Xishi would reject him.

At this moment, she not only swept his face, but also made Zhou Qi laugh.

Xie Jin clenched his hands secretly, and his eyes staring at Xu Roujia gradually shrouded a layer of chill.

Xu Roujia suddenly became scared.

Is Xie Jin a gentleman?

Maybe in front of outsiders, but he once made up his mind to strangle his childhood sweetheart and loving wife with his own hands.

Before Xu Roujia could show fear, Zhou Qi suddenly stood up and blocked her.

"roll."
