Hey, you are reborn too?

Tears were welling up in my eyes, as if they would fall on my hands at any moment.

Jiang Mian saw her sitting on the bench in a daze, with tears in her eyes. He wanted to go up to her and hold her in his arms, letting her find comfort in his arms. But Jiang Mian didn't dare to touch Xie Yongwei, so he could only pat her back lightly and helplessly, hoping that this would make her feel more comfortable.

Xie Yongwei suddenly felt someone patting her, and her back stiffened. She turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Mian. Somehow, she didn't feel any resistance in her heart, but tears gathered in her eyes.

Jiang Mian saw tears in Xie Yongwei's eyes and clenched his fists unconsciously. His heart was broken.

"It's okay," Jiang Mian's eyes were firm and full of tenderness. He gently raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Xie Yongwei's eyes with his fingertips. "Awei. Don't worry too much about the Queen."

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Mian felt something was wrong. Could Xie Yongwei, who only knew how to chase Jiang Yu, figure out the real purpose of the Queen's flower viewing banquet?

Jiang Mian looked at Xie Yongwei carefully, not daring to breathe, for fear that she would discover something.

To his surprise, Xie Yongwei forced a smile. Although the mist in her eyes had not yet dissipated, she still responded with a "hmm".

Jiang Mian frowned slightly, then relaxed. Why did it feel like Xie Yongwei was very different from her previous life?

Whether she didn't fall in love with Jiang Yu, or went to the Medical Immortal Valley to practice, or her piano skills suddenly became superb...

All these are totally inconsistent with Xie Yongwei in her previous life, who only had beauty but no scheming or means.

Also, when did she, who was fearless in her previous life, become so cautious?

Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes slightly. Something must have happened to Xie Yongwei that he didn't know about.

However, Jiang Mian curled his lips slightly where she couldn't see. He, Jiang Mian, really fell into her hands. Xie Yongwei, who was full of variables at any time, seemed to be more interesting than in her previous life.

"I'm sorry," Xie Yongwei also realized her own mistake, lowered her eyes and bowed to Jiang Mianying, "I lost my composure."

"Nothing." Jiang Mian was happy to share Xie Yongwei's sadness. He was extremely excited to discover Xie Yongwei's delicate side, and his heart was clamoring to imprison her in his arms forever.

Xie Yongwei supported herself on the table, stood up slowly, with a firm look in her eyes, and walked towards the banquet area in the Imperial Garden without haste.

"Mian'er, Miss Xie," the Queen Mother smiled and waved to them cheerfully when she saw them appear. "You just played a wonderful performance. Miss Xie, come forward quickly and let me take a good look at you."

Xie Yongwei walked forward as she was told, stood in front of the Empress Dowager, and lowered her head to look at her waist.

"Good boy, what's your name?"

"In reply to the Queen Mother's question," Xie Yongwei bowed and replied gracefully, "My name is Yongwei."

"Yongwei, Yongwei," the Queen Mother repeated the name several times, "Yongwei, you are so good, raise your head and let me see your face."

Xie Yongwei raised her eyes and met the Queen Mother's gaze. Those were the eyes that belonged to an elderly superior. The eye sockets were slightly sunken, the eyes were calm, and the dark brown pupils showed no emotion.

"Oh," the Queen Mother was so pleased after seeing Xie Yongwei's face that a smile extended from the corner of her eyes, "This child is really pretty."

When the Queen Mother said this, her eyes accidentally glanced at Jiang Mian beside her.

Hey, when did this boy's eyes become so gentle?

The Queen Mother was puzzled and followed Jiang Mian's gaze, and found that Jiang Mian was staring at the girl in front of her. The Queen Mother was also young once, so how could she not understand the meaning of that look?

"Xiao Wei," the Queen Mother couldn't suppress the curled corners of her mouth. She slowly took off the jade bracelet on her hand and pretended to put it on Xie Yongwei. "This is a reward from my family. Put it on quickly."

The jade bracelet was obviously a special item, not to mention that it was originally worn by the Queen Mother. Xie Yongwei looked at the jade bracelet, her fingers trembling slightly, and her inner entanglement made her very troubled. Then, the jade bracelet was too expensive. If she didn't accept it, it would be disrespectful to the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager," when Xie Yongwei was struggling internally, the Queen's voice rang out. The Queen's face seemed to be dissatisfied, and her voice sounded a little unhappy. "You have worn this jade bracelet for many years. It is extremely valuable. How can you give it to others casually?"

"Hey, Queen," the Queen Mother stretched out a hand and slowly pressed it down in the air, "It's just a bracelet. I wanted to give it to you, so I gave it to you. What's the big deal?"

The queen gritted her teeth. Her ninth princess had once asked the queen mother for this jade bracelet, but was ruthlessly rejected. How could the jade bracelet be given to a girl from a minister's family today?

What’s even more hateful is that this girl just stole the spotlight and overshadowed Ying’er.

The Queen wanted to argue a few more words, but when she saw the Queen Mother's determined look, she knew that there was no possibility of getting the bracelet back today.

"What the Empress Dowager is teaching you is that," the Empress kept a smile on her face even though she was furious, "I am being petty."

The Queen seemed to be very understanding and turned her smiling face to Xie Yongwei: "Yongwei, you played the zither very well today. I will also send the reward to the General's Mansion later."

"Your servant thanks Her Majesty." Xie Yongwei bowed.

"Xiao Wei," the Queen Mother smiled and wanted to put the jade bracelet in her hand directly into Xie Yongwei's hand, "I really like you. You should take this bracelet as soon as possible!"

"Yes, this is a reward from the Queen Mother. Ordinary people can't get it." The Queen echoed sourly.

The jade bracelet was swaying in front of her eyes. The advice of the Queen Mother and the Queen was still ringing in her ears. Xie Yongwei took a deep breath. It seemed that she had to accept the jade bracelet today whether she wanted to or not.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for the reward."

Xie Yongwei knelt on the ground and respectfully took the jade bracelet from the Queen Mother with both hands.

"Yes," the Queen Mother responded, her voice somewhat anxious, "Good boy, bring him here for me to see."

Xie Yongwei held the jade bracelet in one hand and put the other hand into the bracelet. The bracelet was put on, but the jade bracelet was too big and obviously did not match Xie Yongwei's now small wrist.

"Madam," the Queen obviously noticed that the bracelet didn't match Xie Yongwei, and said with a smile, "This bracelet looks a little big on Miss Xie's hand."

"It's a little big," the Queen Mother deliberately ignored the Queen's hidden meaning and looked at Xie Yongwei's wrist carefully. "It doesn't matter if it's a little big. You can keep it and wear it again in a few years. Good child, go back to your seat first."

"Yes." Xie Yongwei bent down and bowed.

Returning to her seat, Xie Yongwei looked at the jade bracelet and found it more and more pleasing to the eye. She held the jade bracelet in her hand and thought about what she could do for the Empress Dowager.

Everyone enjoyed themselves for a while, and then the Queen announced the end of the flower-viewing banquet. She thanked everyone for coming and asked all the gentlemen and ladies to leave the palace within one hour.

Xie Yongwei was not in a hurry to leave the palace. Relying on her experience of living in the palace for several years in her previous life, she deliberately strolled to the road from the Imperial Garden to the Cining Palace, hoping to "accidentally meet" the empress dowager who was returning to the palace after the banquet.

"Master Buddha, did you have fun at the flower viewing banquet today?"

"Today is a flower viewing party. I am having a great time!"

These conversations, along with the sound of footsteps, came in the direction of Xie Yongwei.

The Queen Mother is coming!
