Lord, your mask fell off

thing?

Isn't it the ice crystal flower?
Chu Qingyan was speechless at Jiang Xiong's mystification.

But this is just the accent of people in politics, just get used to it.

Although she knew it, Chu Qingyan was still very curious about the rumored Ice Crystal Flower.

That is the rare medicinal herb they have been looking for after a twists and turns all the way!
As soon as Jiang Xiong gave the order, a palace official walked in holding a ten-inch transparent crystal box.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the crystal clear box. Through the box, you can see that it is filled with transparent or snow-white ice cubes. In the white mist, you can faintly see a hint of greenery. .

The dishes on the table have been removed, and the crystal box is placed on the table.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the box.

Jiang Xiong explained, "I want you to know about the special nature of the ice crystal flower before I come here. It needs extremely cold temperatures to grow, so I ordered a special container like this to be built for planting. It doesn't need any nutrients, and it can It doesn't need soil. The person who gave it to it said that as long as the seeds of the ice crystal flower are placed in ice water, it will grow naturally. Now, I have raised it for several years, and it just so happens that these few days are the time for it to bloom. "

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiong ordered someone to open the box.

When the crystal cover was opened, a burst of coldness emanated from the box, adding a bit of chill to the warm hall.

At this time, the things inside are also fully revealed in front of everyone.

On a layer of icy water, a palm-sized medicinal herb was just floating like this, with slender branches and saw-toothed leaves. There were only four leaves, but its flowers occupied two-thirds of its entire body. Fist-sized red flowers, with high hearts and curled edges, layer upon layer. If counted, there are at least thirty or forty petals.

The blooms are intense, but tasteless.

The ice crystal flower quietly stretches its branches, just like this floating in the icy water with the ripples, and surrounded by ice blocks, as if it is a noble princess, people can not help but be impressed by her elegant aura.

"Is this the Ice Crystal Flower? It feels like a human being." Cheng Yanluo couldn't help but sigh, unlike Chu Qingyan who was delighted to see the life-saving herb, but as a doctor, she was very happy with the rare herb. fanaticism.

Chu Qingyan nodded, "It's so leisurely and carefree, I'm ashamed to do anything to it! Hey, I suddenly thought of a word, beauty is unlucky."

"Ahem, this flower has survived for hundreds of years at least, so it's not a bad life." Cheng Yanluo couldn't help but hit her.

Chu Qingyan spread her hands, "Okay, then let it be reincarnated as soon as possible!"

Bing Jinghua's mental activity at this time: What the hell!People still want to live a few more years!You all give this flower a triumph!

"I will present this flower to the two of you. I hope King Ying will get rid of the poison as soon as possible. I will block all news of your coming to Jiang Country, and I will give you a thank you gift." Jiang Xiong stroked his beard and said with a smile.

He knew about Xixuan's domestic struggle, and the young man in front of him was a rare object of appreciation for so many years, so his love for talents arose.

Xiao Xu cupped his hands, with a little gratitude in his words, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome, we've settled the matter. Next time we come to Jiangguo, we'll play a few more games of chess. I won't be reconciled to losing to you!" Jiang Xiong smiled heartily, and reached out to pat Xiao Xu on the shoulder.

Xiao Xu nodded in response.

Jiang Yunjing on the side laughed and joked, "It's rare to see my father and emperor playing against each other. His Royal Highness should come to play often!"

"It's not that you always let him!" Queen Jiang took off her clothes.

Jiang Xiong couldn't hold back his face, "What is Rang, I beat them upright!"

"..."

Chu Qingyan looked at Jiang Xiong's family, who were enjoying themselves happily, and suddenly felt sorry for Big Ice Cube.

If he can be born in such a family, at least Big Ice Cube can experience the warmth of family affection!

She turned her head, and the big ice cube beside her looked calm, as if she was not affected by the scene in front of her.

As if feeling her gaze, Xiao Xu looked down at her, with a little warmth in his tone, "What's the matter?"

"No." She shook her head, but then reached into his palm, then grabbed his fingers, and quietly hid the hands they held in his broad sleeves.

Xiao Xu felt that the little paws were grabbing his fingers like a kitten's paws scratching. He couldn't help but squeeze his fingers together, suppressing the itch that spread from his palms to his heart.

He knew what the little guy was thinking. After getting along for so long, there was already a tacit understanding.

She was overthinking, if she would envy others, then he would have already been destroyed by jealousy after seeing his father doting on his fourth younger brother for so many years.

Very early on, he had learned to automatically block these things.

It's just that after meeting her, he won't block it anymore, because he doesn't have to envy others, because he already has her by his side.

Before leaving the palace, Jiang Yunyao walked up to Chu Qingyan, with a reluctant face on her face, "If you didn't have to leave early tomorrow, I wouldn't have time to see you off, otherwise I would like to see you leave with my own eyes."

"Third Princess, don't be sad, we will meet again." Chu Qingyan reached out to shake her hand, and said goodbye with a smile.

"Well, then you must remember to come back and see me!" In Jiang Yunyao's heart, she had already regarded Chu Qingyan as her friend, and her words were full of reluctance.

Chu Qingyan nodded solemnly, but what she said ruined the style of reminiscence at this time, "Of course, the third princess of Jiang Guo is my best friend of Chu Qingyan, and she is always making trouble when she goes out. How could I let go of such a good friend?" What about the opportunity to hug your thigh? Don’t miss this opportunity and never come again!”

Jiang Yunyao was amused by her eccentricity, her depression dissipated a lot, and she looked at her helplessly.

After the two embraced and parted to say goodbye, Chu Qingyan followed Xiao Xu and left Jiangguo Palace.

"These two people are not simple people. It would be fine if they stayed away from the imperial court. If one day they return to the Xixuan royal family, they will definitely become dragons and phoenixes among the people. You will benefit a lot from communicating with them!" Chu Qingyan and others left, Jiang Xiong said to his two sons.

"Yes, I would like to follow the teaching of my father." The two replied at the same time.

Chu Qingyan naturally didn't know that there was still this matter after they left. At this time, she looked at the crystal box lying on the carriage. The matter of finding the medicinal herbs diluted the sadness of separation, her heart and eyes were full of joy, and she hummed unconsciously. started singing.

Listening to her singing, Xiao Xu closed his eyes and meditated. The two were not dry with each other, but they were extremely harmonious, giving outsiders the illusion that they couldn't get in between them.

The carriage returned to Yi Mansion, Chu Qingyan got off the carriage, and walked towards the inner courtyard with Xiao Xu.

At this time, Xining, who was waiting anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, ran over as soon as he saw his master's figure, and said eagerly, "Master, it's not good!"
