"It's really hard to make the princess's painstaking efforts." Not everyone can let Youmeng put herself in her shoes, and Han Lu also sounded helpless, but she always wanted to say something to relieve her. "I just don't know if the princess's thoughts hidden in the plum blossom wine can taste it?"

When Youmeng's eyes were raised, thousands of thoughts gathered into a trickle of water, which sweetened her heart, but she had to hide it carefully, so she remained silent and put her thoughts into the fresh and elegant smile on her lips.

The white porcelain cup was placed by Mei Zihan. He lifted the lid and a faint fragrance floated out. Before he tasted it, he was a little drunk. Otherwise, how could he be in a daze and unable to control his gradually lost heart?

He scooped a spoonful of white porcelain bowls that were poured into a wide mouth, and his thoughts returned to the rainy day in the early February, the afternoon leisure time in the plum garden was full of rain and the wind was slightly cool. He was the same at that time, holding a long-handled white porcelain spoon and gently stirring the new brew in the bowl. But suddenly, the door opposite was opened-

He hurriedly raised his eyes, and through the row of rain curtains hanging from the eaves, he saw the girl in a red dress like a tree of blooming red plums.

She stood at the door, with curiosity at first, until she met his sight, she was surprised and laughed out loud.

If it weren't for her appearance, which shocked the quiet spring rain, he wouldn't have suddenly remembered a few jokes about going to the Imperial Heaven Prison not long ago and having a good time with the Chief Secretary Ling Lan Wuyin.

"I saw that the Grand Tutor was refreshed today, with silk rays of light and purple air between his eyebrows. I'm afraid there will be plum blossoms coming soon?" Lan Wuyin looked at him for some reason and smiled.

"I only know the luck of peach blossoms." Mei Zihan was serious, "I have never heard of the luck of plum blossoms."

"In ancient times, Lin Bu was a "Plum Wife and Crane Son". The Grand Tutor also loved plums. He walked through the plum forest all day long and was accompanied by the plum blossoms. He must be covered with the essence of the plum blossoms." Lan Wuyin joked with a smile, "Maybe there would be a pure and innocent plum blossom fairy who was exiled from the sky and attracted the plum fragrance of the Grand Tutor, and finally became the Grand Tutor's "Plum Wife"?"[1]

"Zi doesn't say that strange powers are in chaos." Mei Zihan said in a light tone, "You know I never believe in these."

"This time of fortune is mysterious and illusory, and it's better if the Taifu doesn't believe it. But if she wants to come, even if you close the door, it will not stop her from entering." That was Lan Wuyin's last smile, as if there was a hidden sound, "When she comes, you will understand."

It was the early plum season, and the rain was pounding the blue tiles. He looked at her who was coming unexpectedly, and his heart suddenly shook. He thought that the astrological and divination skills of the Imperial Heaven Supervision were all mysterious, but he suddenly envied Lin Feng.

Envy him-

Ask the plum blossoms and me, who is thin and thin, and the storm, the years.][2]

As for why Youmeng came at that time? It turned out that she had just moved to Luoyang with the royal family, and was very unfamiliar with everything here, and was full of a strong desire to explore. That day, she went out of the Miyamoto to visit a hot spring in the mountains, but she was unable to defeat the changing mountain climate. She didn't expect to encounter a light rain halfway. She led her horse to rush along the mountain road, but inadvertently, she was attracted by a very fragrant fragrance. She followed the gradually thicker fragrance of flowers and finally arrived outside a light yellow wall courtyard.

A few white plum blossoms popped up on the green tiles wall, and she thought she had found the source of the fragrance.
