The days slowly slipped away in Xi Jiu Er's anticipation. The quiet palace was just as quiet, and the boring days were also just as boring.

Time had told Xi Jiu Er that her beautiful wish had failed, and the days when she did not have any hope began to feel a little sad. All day long, besides eating, she would also eat.

Right now, he was too lazy to move at all. Sometimes, he would stay on the bed for an entire day. Other than occasionally having the little girls tell him stories about the rooms to relieve his boredom, he spent most of his time on ancient books and books.

Xi Jiu Er was not the type of person to be lazy in the first place. She would dance with sabers and sticks, do a few flowery moves, or find a secluded place to plant flowers and hoe grass.

Now, the child's stomach was becoming more and more obvious. His stomach had also bulged quite a bit. It was even difficult for him to occasionally bend over, let alone play with swords, spears, and sticks.

The afternoon sun was getting warmer, and Xi Jiu Er's hand that was holding the book uncontrollably fell down, rolling on the ground with a "pa" sound.

At the same time, he also successfully woke her up. Under the sunlight, her entire body felt numb, as if all her bones and limbs had been soaked in butter for a whole round. It was hard to describe how comfortable she felt, which immediately caused Xi Jiu Er, who had already had her afternoon nap, to feel a little sleepy.

Xi Jiu Er rested a hand on her forehead and raised her head to look at the fine cracks on the lush branches where bits of sunlight was sprinkling down. Bright yellow points of light jumped about on the branches, like many fairies playing in the cracks of the branches.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xi Jiu Er vaguely saw a goose yellow light up beside him.

Xi Jiu Er turned her head to look at a smiling girl. Her expression was intimate, and her white and warm face seemed to have a spiritual feeling to it from the bottom of her heart.

Xi Jiu Er saw an unfamiliar woman appear beside him without a sound, and felt that she was extremely familiar with him at the moment. At the same time, she felt that lying on the bed to receive guests was extremely rude.

The lady could roughly guess what Xi Jiu Er was thinking, and immediately went forward to help her up, the clear and crisp sounds like water flowing from a jade ring lightly touching someone.

"Elder sister, you have to be careful," the woman's voice carried a trace of moisture and gently floated into everyone's ears.

Xi Jiu Er was confused by her words, "Big sister". She stared at her for a long time before realizing who she was.

The lady nodded with a smile, and the maidservant behind her helped her to sit on the sandalwood chair opposite Xi Jiu Er.

As Xi Jiu Er looked at this very comfortable woman in front of him, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, "When did little sister enter the imperial city?"

Feng Jin Se pursed her lips, her smile warm. "Three or four years ago, after returning, I followed royal father to attend a banquet with a few ministers, and then gathered at a few sisters' homes. Only today did I have the time to clean up my sister for a while."

Xi Jiu Er continued to laugh, "Lord King Xiang, it's Zhuge, His Majesty the Emperor's right-hand man, naturally he's busy. Since it's rare for you to come to my place today, why not have a taste of my palace's chef's cooking? Shall I get someone to send you home tonight? "

Although Xi Jiu Er had only met her once, she surprisingly liked this girl who was as intelligent as water, and seemed to have an immortal aura that was untainted by the heavens and earth.

Feng Jin Se nodded and agreed, "Then I'll be troubling elder sister."

Xi Jiu Er laughed as she shook her head, then called for the servants to bring out the modern pastries that the palace had prepared.

"Taste this tea. I specially took this tea from the morning dew on the Winter La Plum, and made it from my own brewed La Plum Blossom Tea." Xi Jiu Er called over a maid and brought out the tea making tools, and also asked his to make the winter flower tea one by one.

The two of them sat together, occasionally smiling as they discussed whether or not today's scented tea should be flavored with a hawthorn. Only then would the taste be better.

At times, they would discuss the local customs and practices of the Wind Nation and himself, and at other times, they would talk about what had happened to them in the past few years.

The two chatted merrily until the sun set. Only then did they return to the palace to enjoy the evening meal.

The two of them were extremely happy at the banquet, until an unexpected guest arrived to interrupt their interest.

Xi Jiu Er saw that Feng Qing Cheng, who had suddenly appeared outside the palace gate and was not allowed to be announced, unconsciously frowned, as though when he was eating a plate of delicious food, he suddenly pulled out a dead fly from inside, and before he could even swallow the food, he stood there in a daze, unable to go up or go down, he scratched his ears and face in pain.

Xi Jiu Er saw this "fly" leisurely sitting next to him, and then saw "fly" giving him food as if there was no one around, as if she was really in love with it.

Feng Jin Se who was at the side covered his face and laughed, "My older cousin is really not talented, there is even a living person sitting here! Such an expression of love, so how can we, the loners, face it? "

After being teased by Feng Jin Se, Xi Jiu Er's face unconsciously flushed. She tried her best to suppress the blush on her face, and pretended to be indifferent as she buried her head in food.

Feng Qing Cheng was in a rare good mood, he extended his hand and also gave her a pair of chopsticks, "Here, don't say that your cousin is biased."

Feng Jin Se's smile became even wider, and he picked up the half of the chicken wing that his cousin had just left on the plate and placed it into Xi Jiu Er's plate.

"Cousin doesn't dare to do that. It's better to let sister-in-law enjoy it."

Xi Jiu Er held onto half of her scarlet red hair, and glared at her. "Hey, your majesty the Emperor, your cousin gave you some food, eat it!"

Feng Qing Cheng raised his eyebrows, a smile that could not be hidden in his eyes.

"Since Madame has let me eat it, how about I accept?" That "very good" dragged out an extremely ambiguous tone, causing Xi Jiu Er to suddenly feel that the other side of her face was also burning.

Xi Jiu Er was a little embarrassed as she covered her face. She clearly had a strange hatred towards this person, but she was broken through with just a few words.

The two of them looked at Xi Jiu Er's shy appearance, and after they looked at each other in tacit understanding, Feng Qing Cheng suddenly ordered them coldly, "All of you go down, tell her to send people to stand guard outside, and do not let anyone near."

Xi Jiu Er watched Chief Eunuch's leaving figure from between her fingers, then turned to look at Feng Qing Cheng, her gaze jumping towards her face, his face at a loss.

Pointing at Feng Jin Se, he spoke out, "Did you hear that she is going to marry me in a few days?"

Xi Jiu Er was stunned when she heard it. She did not expect Feng Qing Cheng to publicly explain the situation, and the two people involved were actually both smiling.

If it was said that she unintentionally forgot that Feng Jin Se was going to marry Feng Qing Cheng today, then was she really unable to understand the current situation?
