Would things have come to such a point between us? However, I can’t dwell on the past, and must instead turn my attention towards the future and grand dreams!
The Imperial Household Landscape Garden was beside the Water Caltrop River, allowing Su Xi-er’s group to reach it within 15 minutes without horse carriage .
Along the way, none of the three had spoken . As Ning Lianchen walked behind, he kept his gaze fixed on Su Xi-er’s back . Proud and aloof, Jinghong Dance, Bending Branch Dance . . .
Imperial Elder Sister, is it you? Could you have possibly come back to life? If I ask you whether you have a younger brother called Lianchen, would you be incredulous? Or would you just ignore me?
How can a person come back to life? Even in a drama performance, they wouldn’t act out something like resurrection .
Su Xi-er’s mind was in a similar state of turmoil as she was constantly assaulted by the desire to turn around . With Pei Qianhao constantly emanating a cold aura next to her though, it was impossible .

However, she really wanted to walk together with Lianchen and talk to him . But I won’t directly tell him that I am Ning Rulan .
Reincarnation would be extremely shocking news to anyone .
Ning Lianchen kept following behind, finally stepping in front of them when they were about to reach the Imperial Household Landscape Garden . He could now look at Su Xi-er properly . “The Imperial Household Landscape Garden is ahead . In the distance is the mountain peaks, while the area surrounding us is a vast forest . On the left is the Dark Blue Woods, while on the right is the Bamboo Woods . In front of us is a sea of flowers with an assortment of colours . ”
Su Xi-er smiled . “Just the description sounds beautiful; I can’t wait to go inside and have a look . ”
She had come to the Imperial Household Landscape Garden once every year, and was very familiar with the scenery inside . However, just the thought of being able to enjoy the view with Lianchen made her jubilant .

‘You don’t know what you have until it’s gone . ’ I have died once . Now that I am reborn, I feel even closer with the only family I have in front of my eyes .
However, Pei Qianhao was getting increasingly annoyed as he noticed how well the two were getting along .
“Go . ” Pei Qianhao grasped Su Xi-er’s hand and took her into the garden, leaving Ning Lianchen behind .
At this moment, Pei Qianhao had completely treated Ning Lianchen as an enemy and didn’t allow him to get close to Su Xi-er .
Ning Lianchen hastened his pace in an attempt to keep up . He was thinking of a way to shake off Prince Hao and ask Su Xi-er why she knew how to perform the Bending Branch Dance .
The atmosphere was extremely strange as the three continued walking forward . Su Xi-er hadn’t come here to admire the scenery, but rather, to spend more time with Ning Lianchen . However, with Pei Qianhao in between them, she couldn’t even glance at Lianchen, much less talk to him .

Thus, Su Xi-er was also thinking about how to divert Pei Qianhao away .
If Pei Qianhao knew what the two of them were thinking, his expression would have definitely darkened .
“Prince Hao, after viewing the sea of flowers in front, let’s go view the Dark Blue Woods and Bamboo Woods . We’ll reach the sea of Lingrui flowers after taking a few more steps forward . ”
Pei Qianhao didn’t give him any face, and instead coldly replied, “This Prince has seen a sea of Lingrui flowers right in Moon County . Su Xi-er, am I right?”
Su Xi-er nodded . “Lingrui flowers are very beautiful . ”
An idea sprung into Ning Lianchen’s eyes . “Miss Xi-er, how beautiful are they?”
In an instant, the expression in Su Xi-er’s eyes changed . This is . . . a secret code .
When they were young, she and Lianchen would play hide-and-seek . She would hide in the Lingrui flower shrubs, making him unable to find her . When she finally appeared, Lianchen would cry while hugging her . After that, she would stroke his head and tell him, “In the future, if you can’t find your Imperial Elder Sister, just ask this question: ‘How beautiful are the Lingrui flowers?’ As long as you ask, your Imperial Elder Sister will appear and reply to you with three words ー ‘just like Lan(orchid)’ .
Just like Lan . Meaning that the Lingrui flowers and Ning Rulan were just as beautiful .
Su Xi-er was excited, but she controlled her emotions very well . Perhaps, Lianchen just said that casually .
But… I want to try . Hence, she softly replied, “Just like Lan . ”
