C45

On the 8th day of the year, another heavy snow fell.

In every kitchen on Tianmen Mountain, a porridge was being cooked. Soong Jinyu's seniors had all come to celebrate her birthday. She was already fourteen years old, and had been at the Tianmen Mountain for eight years.

The Young Madam had also sent a car with many things. There was even a letter home personally written by the Xiang.

This Xiang was actually already pregnant. This time, the nephew that Soong Jinyu was yearning for, the niece was coming. Xiang had a child, and there would be a descendant from the Soong Family.

Seeing that she was happy, he took out the gifts from his other senior brothers and showed them to her one by one.

Not long after, a waiter came to invite her over. It turned out to be her master's daughter.

Miao Yunzhen looked at Jinyu with a profound expression, then solemnly passed an azure-jade seal into Jinyu's hands.

"Jinyu, you must take good care of this!"

Soong Jinyu's face was currently covered in black lines, and the green jade seal in her hand was precisely the keepsake of the Tianmen Mountain Sect Master.

"Master! You are really stingy. "

Jinyu placed the azure-jade seal on the table with a heavy weight, and looked embarrassed and annoyed. "Ever since I was ten years old, I was given the same azure-jade seal every year."

"You still dare to say that!? Every time I give it to you, you'll lose it within a few days! " Miao Yunzhen's beard fluttered in response to his words.

This caused Jinyu to laugh out loud: "This thing is strange and heavy. Master can take it! " Then she was about to leave.

"Damned girl!" Her master scolded him jokingly, but Jinyu was unsure if she heard it.

At this moment, Micui and Xing Jian had arrived under the Tianmen Mountain.

His Royal Highness had instructed that the mountain was covered with poisonous fog. Ordinary people would not be able to climb the mountain, so they would have to wait for the people on the mountain to pick them up.

When Micui saw Soong Jinyu, it was already dusk.

"Your highness has set out to return to the capital today, so I am unable to personally celebrate the young lady's birthday."

Micui's probing gaze never left Jinyu's face.

She looked surprised and thoughtful. Micui sighed in her heart, feeling that this girl did not even put their Duke at ease.

"These are all the trinkets that the prince told me to choose." Micui continued, and at the same time, all the senior brothers in the courtyard looked at Jinyu strangely.

Yan Fei was a little disappointed when he saw this, and he used this as an excuse to leave Jinyu's courtyard.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness." Since the things had already been delivered, he couldn't just return it, right? That wouldn't give anyone any face at all.

Fortunately, there was nothing out of line.

Soong Jinyu invited Micui into the house. Micui took out a small box and mysteriously moved it closer to Jinyu: "Hurry and open it, the Duke made this himself!"

"What?" Jinyu was stuffed into an exquisite box.

She forced herself to open it and her face immediately flushed red. Inside the box was a necklace made of the same green jade. There was nothing special about it except that the pendant really was a mini version of her.

Thinking about that person, carving out every single move day and night, it must be because he was thinking about her constantly.

After being absent-minded for a while, Jinyu closed the box, feeling embarrassed and uneasy.

"This is too precious, I can't accept it."

Micui never thought that Soong Jinyu would actually reject all the affection from the Duke.

She said: "The Prince said, if you don't accept it, he will have this servant send it to Sect Master."

Micui felt embarrassed when she saw her.

He then said, "Miss should still keep them. If you don't, these servants will definitely be dealt with by the prince when we return."

He knew that Soong Jinyu would not accept this gift and told her to act pitiful.

At the moment, Soong Jinyu was cursing Zhongli Mingye in her heart. It was really not good to let these two people not be able to explain themselves.

"In that case, thank you, Aunt Micui."

He could only accept it and casually place it in the pile of gifts.

Seeing that she accepted it, Micui became indignant on behalf of the Prince. The prince was like a jade in the wind. Although his face was cold, his heart was warm and cold.

But now, this girl treated him with complete sincerity. Sigh, it really was the wishful thinking of the prince.

On the way back to the capital …

Zhongli Mingye thought about what kind of expression Jinyu would have when she received his gift. A smile flashed past his phoenix eyes, and the corner of his lips curled up slightly.

Throw it away or keep it?

Judging from her heartless attitude, she had probably been thrown aside.

After all, she didn't care about those three cigarettes.

No harm done …

She could not escape his net.

"Xing Jian, you said that this lady doesn't care about the Duke!" Micui was still a little unhappy.

She had thought that Soong Jinyu would be very happy to see all these gifts, to think that she would actually want to return them. If she could get the King's green eyes, he would be extremely proud of Shen Yingyun!

However, because of this, Micui felt that Soong Jinyu was different from the masses.

"Your mouth!" Xing Jian snorted.

"Since Your Highness has set your heart on us, we will do our best as servants."

"Pay more attention to the two madams in the yard." Xing Jian reminded her.

"Alright, I understand!" Micui rolled her eyes and ignored him.

As she collected the presents, she casually placed the necklace on the dressing table.

After Soong Jinyu took a bath, she immediately saw the special necklace.

For a time, he was at a loss. Seeing that no one was around, he picked it up and carefully examined it. Did he make it himself? The young girl rested her chin on her hand. Her face was still flushed from the bath, but now it was even redder.

She thought of that day at the foot of the cliff and he said, I love you.

Every time she met him for a sudden kiss, something wonderful would always happen.

Maybe he was different?

It felt as if some days had passed since they last saw each other, but it also felt as if he had never left.

She had never felt such a feeling before. She had to admit, she was actually starting to miss him.

For a moment, his heart was in panic.

That night, Soong Jinyu was completely awake.

In the moonlight, the wind blew from the north, lifting up the snow. As Ouyang Jinse looked at his mother's ferocious expression, he finally understood that Soong Jinyu had come to visit that day. He had not only investigated her, he might have really done something about it.
