Nu Lan spit out a mouthful of water into the sink without looking directly at Chu Qing. "You're an adult too." He said indifferently, "You didn't die in infancy, that's all."
The cold water swept away the fatigue. Chu Qing moved his joints, making creaking sounds. Since Nu Lan had left first, he was the only one left in the bathroom. The young man thought, today I am sixteen, and he He didn't know his exact birthday, but the day he was rescued by His Highness Linxue in the snow was March 6th. He counted this day as his birth day.
Under a lone pear tree at the east gate of Jinmen, the girl was waiting for Chu Qing's arrival. He saw the pear tree from a distance and remembered the legend about this tree. The angel believed by the people in the North is the white-feathered crow. It is said that this pear tree was once visited by the white-feathered crow, so it gained the magic power of immortality. Every year, Pear blossoms bloom on their branches in early spring and midwinter, and they bear fruit even in spring.
Mong Yue did not wear her favorite feather cloak, but put on a simple knitted shawl. After wrapping it around her neck, she wrapped her hair to keep warm. In the abdomen.
"Can you wait for me?" Chu Qing said. He shook the key in his hand, and the girl immediately smiled with the dimples on her cheeks. "Yeah!" She clapped her hands excitedly.
It seemed a bit boring to just let her wait here, especially in such a cold early morning. Chu Qing raised his head and found a fruit hanging on the pear tree. "Hey!" The young man bent his knees and jumped, successfully picking the pear. Although it was not fully ripe, it was barely edible after rubbing it with his hands. He broke the pear in half and gave the larger half to the Xiaowei. Gong Yue, who took the pear, held the yellow and green fruit in the palm of her hand. After watching Chu Qing take a bite, she also opened her mouth and ate a little.
"It's a bit bitter." Chu Qing commented regretfully, "I regret eating it for you." But Gong Yue disagreed, "Indeed, but it's not unpleasant. Mom often said that nine out of ten times life is not what you want. It tastes bitter. The little bit of sweetness is so precious! Come on, the sun is about to rise.”
Many people have gathered in the Bird's Beak Hall, which is used for holding ceremonies. Benches are stacked in the corners, and people are standing on both sides of the aisle. The queen of the Gong family is sitting on the throne of the head of the family. On the left is her husband, a famous clan member from the North. He is about the same age as His Highness, both around thirty-five years old. His neat short hair is neatly combed, and the beard around his mouth is very manly. Other than that, he has no other decorations. His unsmiling face is his best business card. Chu Qing found that there was another woman on the main seat. She was His Highness's younger sister. Although she was similar in stature, her cheeks were slightly fatter than her sister's. She looked particularly kind. In recent years, she had stayed away from the aristocratic class and traveled to various places in the south with her husband. country, I must have just arrived in Tianjin yesterday. General Gu Biao stood at the foot of the stairs, obviously not optimistic about today's sword ceremony. Qi Chengyuan, the commander of the musketeers, Sheng Feixing, the chief of the musketeers, and Du Ritian, the first strong archer, also appeared in the hall, looking graceful and charming. The housekeeper Hongqiao led the maids and servants, and Cinderella hadn't even woken up yet! Chu Qing was very angry, but the fluctuation in his heart was fleeting because he did not find Mr. Shigonghu, whom he admired most, among the crowd.
"Come here." His Highness announced. The young man turned back and glanced at Miyazuki. She was standing at the door of the hall. There was no one around her. She must be waiting there to see her become an adult.
