I feel so lucky to have a friend like Ah Yan, within this silent palace walls, will also give me the purest of laughter and the purest of truth.

Talking with him will always let my heart find the starting point, always let the confused me, recover some of the original simplicity.

But when we laughed and went to pluck plum blossoms, we forgot to pick up the pearl hairpin lying on the ground. I didn't take it to heart either. After all, Her Majesty had bestowed something that didn't look good, and she didn't know that if she let her heart pick it up, it would become a sad thing.

Huanhua Palace was very quiet, but it was also very lonely. Walking along the long corridor, one could only hear their own footsteps, and along with it, the plain dress looked like a blooming flower, becoming more beautiful.

Enjoying this quiet loneliness, the plum blossom still carried with it a cold, snow-white air. I came in through the side door, and the main entrance was on the other side of the corridor. I don't know where I suddenly wanted to walk through today, but I probably didn't want to return to my living quarters too early.

I heard the eunuchs' impatient voices say, "The emperor is at Imperial Concubine Mu's place. If Third Marquis wishes to see the emperor, he has to request an audience at the imperial concubine's palace."

It was him. His heart was beating so fast.

In his panic, he heard him say, "Your highness wishes to meet him. I heard from the court that he is in this palace."

He's back. I heard his voice. Just a few more steps and I'll be able to see him through the door.

However, I didn't dare to go forward. My steps weighed a thousand pounds, so I couldn't even take a single step.

The eunuch still refused, "Yuncai Ren has yet to return to the palace, the Third Marquis asks you to come back later. This servant will report to the talented master, but the Emperor has spoken first, those outside the palace are not allowed to enter without the permission of the Emperor."

Did he know Xia Junchang would come to find me? He stopped me and wouldn't let him see me.

"I just arrived in the capital last night and hunted a lot of furs in the northwest. I hope that the eunuchs can be sent to the palace." He was not angry.

However, the eunuch did not accept it. "Without the emperor's permission, this servant would not dare to take it for himself. Third Marquis, you should bring it back first."

Then, after a long silence, he said softly, "Well, thank you, eunuch." I could almost feel his sigh. Not long after, it was a long sigh.

Xia Junchang, Xia Junchang, it turned out that no matter how much time passes, no matter how many things change people, I still understand you.

At this moment, you must be very reluctant to see the inside of the palace door, hoping to see me appear.

You are outside the wall, I am inside the wall, through the impenetrable wall, I can hear your voice, but you do not know how much I want to cry now.

The plum blossoms in my arms fell, and I turned and ran for the side door.

I really want to, you Xia Junchang, don't be lonely, I really did try my best to wait for you to come back, even though I know we are already impossible, but suddenly forgive me.

I want to see you. I want to see if you have been beaten to a state of vicissitudes by the violent wind and rain of Northwest China. I want to know if you are still safe after that disappearance.

I ran fast, and I heard my heart beating faster, and the tears slipped from the corners of my eyes. I lifted my hand to wipe them away, but I was surprised to see the Emperor standing quietly on the second floor, watching me.

I ordered myself to stop, then turned around and picked up the snow-white plum blossoms that had scattered all over the ground. I ran, however, not to the side door, but to the second floor. I ran to his side, gasping for breath, one hand holding onto his great shore's waist, the other holding the fallen plum blossoms up in front of him.

He lowered his head to take a whiff and said lightly, "Very good."

The eunuch beside him respectfully asked, "Your majesty, Yuncai has returned. Can we have lunch in the morning?"

He snatched the Plum Blossom from my hands with one hand, looked at it for a while, then threw it downstairs. "There's no need. This Emperor will go to the empress dowager's place for lunch today."

I seemed to hear the faint pain of plum blossoms falling on the snow. I hugged his waist and felt that he was extremely stiff. His cold hand pulled my hand away and he said, "Are you happy today?"

The words were weird. I lowered my head and didn't dare to look into his black eyes that could see through my heart. I felt guilty. If it wasn't for the tears, I wouldn't have noticed him coldly standing on the second floor and watching my every move.

"You must be happy!" He ran his fingers over my face, brushing something from the corners of my eyes. "Look, I'm laughing."

I raised my head to look at him. His eyes didn't have the love that I was familiar with, but rather, they were filled with icy coldness. He didn't even look at me as he brought his father-in-law downstairs.

And I looked down at the white snow, the field of scattered plum blossoms, as if someone's heart scattered.
