Shaohua is Junqing

Siyu and Beitang Mo Ran came to the moat. There were not so many people there at this time. They put the lanterns into the river. The two lanterns were close to each other and gradually drifted away with the flowing water. Siyu and Beitang Mo Ran put their palms together, closed their eyes, and silently made a wish in their hearts.

Beitang Mo Ran opened his eyes and looked at Si Yu. She was still making a wish with her eyes closed. Seeing her serious look, he really wanted to know what wish she made.

"What wish did you make?" Beitang Mo Ran couldn't help but ask softly.

Siyu opened her eyes, "First, I wish my parents good health, second, I wish my friends happiness, and third... I'll keep it secret for now." Siyu smiled playfully.

I only have one wish, which is that you can stay by my side forever. Beitang Mo Ran thought to himself.

"We've been playing for so long and just had tea. I'll take you out for a midnight snack."

"it is good."

After having supper, the two returned to the palace.

Winter goes and spring comes, all things revive. A gust of spring breeze blows, the grass turns green, the flowers bloom, and the slender willow branches sway in the wind, graceful and charming.

Siyu, who had been staying in the house for several months, finally woke up. She took off her thick cotton coat, put on light spring clothes, and walked around and jumped in the yard.

"Siyu."

"Your Majesty."

"The weather is nice today. How about taking you on a picnic and enjoying the spring?"

"Okay, are we just going?"

"Xunxian and General Chu will also go."

"If General Chu goes, Master Xiaobai will definitely follow him."

"It doesn't matter. I don't mind having one more person."

"It will be more lively with more people. I'll go get ready and leave right away."

Bai Ruoshu didn't know where she heard the news from, but when she knew Chu Shengnan was going on an outing, she shamelessly followed her.

Several people took a carriage to the outskirts of the capital.

By the stream, Siyu picked up a small stone and threw it into the river. The stone skipped several times on the water. She thought it was very interesting, so she picked up a few more small stones and threw them into the river. She smiled happily at the skips made by the stones.

"When the happy pond is planted, the dream becomes the ocean. The bulging eyes and big mouth can sing just as loudly. Lend me a pair of small wings and I can fly to the sun. Believe it, miracles are within me, la... la..." Siyu was so happy that she sang and danced.

Beitang Mo Ran listened to such cheerful tunes and looked at Si Yu who was so lively and energetic, thinking that the winter that had just passed had really suffocated her.

"Princess, drink some water." Caidie called.

Siyu took the water bag handed to her by Caidie and gulped down a few mouthfuls. "Delicious!"

A bonfire had been lit on the open space on the shore. Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu went to the forest and hunted two pheasants and a hare, which was just right for lunch. This time, apart from the coachman and two guards, they did not bring any other servants or maids, so the task of roasting chickens and rabbits fell on Su Xunxian.

"Mo Ran, you said you were going out for an outing, why didn't you bring a few more people with you? You even have to make the roast chicken and rabbit." Su Xunxian said with some dissatisfaction.

"If you don't do it, do you want me to do it? Or should you let the princess do it?" Beitang Mo Ran said coldly.

"How dare I trouble Your Highness and the Princess? I will do it."

The two guards slaughtered the pheasants and rabbits, cleaned them, and handed them to Su Xunxian. Su Xunxian took them, skewered them on wooden sticks, and then started roasting them over the campfire.

Siyu returned to the shore and saw Su Xunxian grilling meat. "Master Su, you also know how to grill meat?"

"There's no other way. I have to learn how to do it. Otherwise, no one will cook for me and I won't have anything to eat."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Master Su."

"Siyu, what song did you just sing? The tune sounds very cheerful."

"It's a popular nursery rhyme in my hometown. I just sang it because the tune is cheerful and catchy."

"Good to hear."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
