Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Chapter 20 Hua Chao Zhang

Although the prince was in poor health, the symbol of his status still attracted most people to him.

The Yan family did not think of sending their daughter to participate in the election for the Crown Princess. There were not many unmarried daughters in the family. Now Yan Tonglin's mind was on the affairs of the Ministry of Households. It was good enough that he could spare the time to remember his pending marriage with the Han family.

As soon as Yan Cheng came back from outside, he went straight to Yan Ci's courtyard. He was not here to deliver snacks today.

Chunzhi was sitting on the doorstep eating melon seeds. When she saw Yan Cheng coming, she stood up happily and looked into what Yan Cheng was holding.

"Second Master, you are here. What snacks are you having today?"

Yan Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, "I didn't bring it today."

The joy on Chunzhi's face faded visibly, and she said with disappointment, "Okay."

The second young master came often these days, and always brought a big bag of delicious snacks. The girl would only eat one or two pieces each time to satisfy her taste, and the rest were all given to her.

I'm used to eating here, so my first thought when I see the Second Young Master is to have some snacks.

Yan Ci just walked out of the room and heard Yan Cheng teasing Chunzhi, "Why, you're not allowed in without bringing snacks?"

Chunzhi finally came to her senses, and seeing that she was blocking the door, her face immediately turned red, and she waved her hands nervously, "No, no, please come in, Second Young Master."

Chunzhi avoided the door. Yan Ci looked at Yan Cheng who was walking towards him and said with a smile on his face, "Second brother, don't laugh at her. It's because the snacks you bought are so delicious that Chunzhi misses them every day."

Chunzhi's face turned even redder. When she heard the girl helping her out but actually teasing her for being greedy, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She was so embarrassed.

Seeing Chunzhi's embarrassed look, Yan Cheng and Yan Ci both laughed.

Yan Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and said, "If you want to eat some snacks, that's easy. The Flower Festival will be in a few days. You can go out to the streets and buy whatever snacks you want. I guarantee you'll have enough."

"Really?" Chunzhi grinned in surprise.

Yan Cheng said: "Of course, but it depends on whether your daughter is willing to go."

Then Chunzhi and Yan Cheng's eyes fell on Yan Ci at the same time, both full of expectations.

The Flower Festival, also known as the Flower Goddess Festival, is a day when all the streets and alleys of the Eastern Capital are filled with various lanterns to commemorate the flower god. At night, when the lanterns are lit, men, women, old and young all wear their favorite flowers in their hair and walk through the streets singing and dancing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Yan Ci wanted to go. It was so hard to get such a legitimate opportunity to go out, he couldn't miss it.

But looking at those two pairs of expectant eyes, she hesitated again. It was okay that Chunzhi was expecting her to go out, after all, there were delicious food and fun things outside, but what about Yan Cheng who was also full of expectations?

"Brother, is there something you didn't say?"

Being touched in the heart, Yan Cheng coughed lightly, "No way, I know that Thirteenth Sister doesn't go out often, and I'm afraid that you will get bored at home, so I came to tell you."

"Thank you very much, second brother."

"Did Sister Thirteen agree to go out?"

Yan Ci nodded slightly, and Yan Cheng and Chunzhi immediately smiled happily, almost jumping three feet high.

Looking at the two people who were so excited, Yan Ci's eyes were full of smiles.

After chatting with Yan Ci for a while, Yan Cheng left the yard and went out.

He had to hurry and tell A Yin the news, as he had been thinking about the painting of rain hitting pine trees in A Yin's hand for a long time.

In Xiezhu Courtyard, Cuizhi returned to Yanru and asked for credit, "Miss, I heard that Miss Thirteen will go out to play on the Flower Festival."

Yan Ru's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Really?"

"It is absolutely true. I heard Chunzhi say it myself. She was even going to bring some food to her sister Chuntao."

Because of Han Liang, Yan Ru had been looking for an opportunity to teach Yan Ci a lesson, but unexpectedly Yan Ci seemed to have changed her personality. She used to make trouble every other day, but now she stays in her own yard almost every day and is unusually honest.

Unable to find an opportunity, she could only ask her maid Cuizhi to pay more attention to Yan Ci's yard. Now that she finally caught Yan Ci going out, she would not let him go.

The Flower Festival arrived quickly. After having dinner early, Yan Ci took Chunzhi out.

It was not yet dark, and the lanterns hanging on the roadside had not been lit yet, so the scene looked less colorful. Only the various flowers placed on the ground were still blooming in all their splendor.

"Girl, there are snacks for sale here."

Chunzhi's mind was full of dim sum. Not long after she went out, she couldn't move away when she saw the dim sum stall.

To add to the fun of the Flower Festival, even the snacks are made in the shape of various flowers, which look delicate and cute.

"Okay, buy it." Yan Ci took out some silver and gave it to the stall owner, "Give me some of each."

The stall owner looked at the girl in the brightly colored dress, happily took the silver, and deftly weighed out a large bag of snacks.

Chunzhi followed Yan Ci with the snacks in her hand, feeling satisfied. She ate the snacks while passing them to Yan Ci to eat as well. Yan Ci only took a small piece, tasted it, and didn't eat any more.

She doesn't really like sweets.

But Chunzhi liked it very much. Because she knew she had to go out, she even ate very little for dinner, for fear that she would not be able to have snacks if she was full.

You can eat rice every day, but delicious snacks are not necessarily good. Chunzhi's plan is clear.

The master and servant walked and looked on the street. As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. The lanterns hanging on the trees were lit up one by one, and the dotted lights gradually connected into one, like strips of light.

The streets were crowded with people and filled with laughter. This was the most lively scene Yan Ci had ever felt since his rebirth.

In the past, she had no chance to pay attention to these things. Her mother died early, and she had stayed in the military camp with her father and brother since she was a child. Her daily routine was to practice martial arts and study military books. It was not until she got engaged to King Xiang that she returned home and began to learn women's virtues, needlework, and how to be a princess.

Unfortunately, she died before she could use it.

Before she could pull herself away from her old memories, a man and a woman in gorgeous clothes walked towards her side by side not far in front of her.

The woman had an outstanding appearance. On her fair and pretty face, a pair of soft and affectionate eyes were bright and lively, her cherry-red lips were smiling, and even the ruby ​​​​on her head could not hide her radiance.

The man walking beside her was tall and handsome, with one hand loosely placed around her to prevent passers-by from touching her.

Yan Ci couldn't help but sneer inwardly, how thoughtful.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s jealousy, disdain or disgust.

There is only one person who can make her feel this way, and that is Shen Zhaoyan.

The man who was so indifferent to her that he watched her die, is now looking after another woman tenderly and attentively.

If Yan Ci guessed correctly, the woman next to Shen Zhaoyan was the new princess whom he had twice petitioned to marry, the prime minister's eldest daughter Xiao Yizhen.

It's hard to say that he had much feelings for Shen Zhaoyan, but seeing the man who killed him being so affectionate with another woman, Yan Ci was filled with malice.

Could it be that Shen Zhaoyan killed her just to marry Xiao Yizhen?
