Maybe it was a twist of fate. Yuer used “the general of the Kingdom of Shui” as a bait to deceive Yun Xi. Unexpectedly, one month later, generals of the Kingdom of Shui really came to Yuer. Yuer was not that innocent little girl anymore. She always hated Yun Xi, so she would not tell Yun Xi. Yuer told the Crown Prince Yun Su as fast as she could. The Crown Prince asked her to pretend to be nice and contact the generals of the Kingdom of Shui. She conveyed fake messages in this way and Yun Xi completely had no idea about it. Those generals of the Kingdom of Shui had tried so hard to survive but ended in falling into a big trap.

One month passed by quickly. Huaiyang city was in the south direction. In the past, it was cold, but it rarely snowed. During the five years when Yun Xi was here, it was the first time that it snowed so heavily.

The last time Yun Xi saw such a heavy snow was when she was still with her father and mother. The palace of the Kingdom of Shui might not be as magnificent as that of the Kingdom of Yun, but she felt warmer there. Similarly, the Kingdom of Shui had been colder than the Kingdom of Yun and always snowed in winter, but she felt warmer there.

At that time, under a similar phoenix tree in the palace of Princess Consort, Mengxi, an eight-year-old princess with a lovely bun was wearing a lovely pink dress. She ran around in the heavy snow and had a snowball fight happily with Lan Li, a boy several years older than her. The boy looked like a little man.

Children’s happy laughter was everywhere. At that time, Shui Yinzhu always liked to chase after the boy, calling him "Brother Li". She was just a child who couldn't distinguish between friendship, kinship, and romantic relationship. So she always said she wanted to marry him. A friendship was formed in their childhood. The Princess Consort Mengxi looked at the two children playing happily. She took out a handkerchief to wipe Shui Yinzhu’s sweat. She didn't forget to remind her, "Yinzhu, you are a princess. Don’t be so crazy."

"Mom, you wanna come and play with us, don’t you?" The little girl Shui Yinzhu then grabbed a snowball on the ground and threw it to Princess Consort Meng Xi. Her mother was not angry. She also made a snowball and joined the children’s fighting. Princess Consort Meng Xi was not like other royal members. She was gentle, but sometimes she was also very naughty. Meng Xi was never a condescending woman. She was more like a sister than a mother for Shui Yinzhu. Her father, the King of the Kingdom of Shui, always doted on them while laughing. King Shui was not young, but he was the best father for Shui Yinzhu.

Compared to the previous years, it was colder this year. However, in the past, the third princess Princess Xi and Yuer were the only two persons in Xiyan Palace. This year it was different.

When Yun Xi woke up, she saw the heavy snow outside. She put on a white dress and ran out of the room without shoes. Standing under the phoenix tree in the heavy snow, she seemed to have returned to her carefree childhood. When she turned back, her parents would stand behind her.

"Yinzhu?”

She heard Yue’s voice and turned around. The figures of her father and mother were gradually covered by Yue in her eyes. All dreams were broken. The girl was sobbing, "Yue, I miss my father and mother so much. I miss Brother Li."

Yue was holding clean shoes and socks in his hands. The girl did not wear shoes. He heard the girl's words and ran to hug her. Yue let her sit on his lap to take off her wet socks. He held her cold little feet in his hands. With his big hands, her feet gradually warmed up. He then helped her put on clean socks and shoes.

Yue said while doing these things, "Yinzhu, don't be sad. You have Yue, and Yue will give you the love of your father and mother."

"Yes. Yinzhu still has Yue." Yue helped her change the shoes and socks. Yun Xi kissed him on the face and stood up. She walked to the phoenix tree and then turned to Yue, "Yue, do you know? This phoenix tree looks the same as the tree in the backyard of my mother. It snowed every year in the Kingdom of Shui. It was so beautiful when the snowflakes were falling from the sky. When I was a child, I often played snowball fights with my Brother Li under the phoenix tree. My father and my mother would watch us nearby. Sometimes my mother would join us, and my father would stand under the tree and look at us."

Yue was still thinking that Yun Xi kissed his face for the first time. Hearing her words, he walked to her and spoke to the phoenix tree, "The King and the Princess Consort of the Kingdom of Shui, thank you so much for bringing Yinzhu to this world and educating her so well. I will treat her sincerely and protect her. You may rest assured."

Yun Xi looked at Yue and jumped into his arms. Yue was still holding the girl’s socks, so he didn't hug the girl tightly.

"By the way, who's Brother Li?"

"Brother Li was the adopted child of my mother."

"Then what is the relationship between Yinzhu and him?

"I had got along with him since I could remember things. He was like a brother to me."

"Brother... that's all right. He's a family to Yinzhu, isn't he?"

"Yes, an important family."

"All right, Yinzhu, I'll be back in a minute." Yue could not help but sigh. The so-called "Brother Li" had been dead, but he still felt jealous. Luckily, she regarded him as a family member.

The phoenix tree was covered by snow. In the white snow, Yun Xi was staring at Yue who was leaving. She turned around to talk to the phoenix tree gently, "Father, mother, Yinzhu was no longer alone. You can rest assured." As she finished this sentence, she felt she had said goodbye to her past. She had never been so relaxed. Yun Xi felt this cold winter was getting warmer.

Yue soon got a large white cloak from Yun Xi's room and covered it over the girl who was standing under the phoenix tree in a thin white dress.

Yun Xi turned around and saw him. She stretched out her hands to him. Yue couldn't help smiling. His mature and sharp eyes were now filled with love. He held her in his arms naturally. They danced in the snow. There seemed to be nothing else but two people hugging each other in the world. The scene was so beautiful. It would be more harmonious if Yue was wearing men's clothes.

"Yue, why do I think your boobs are getting bigger? Last time they seemed to be much smaller." The girl felt really curious.

"Well... I wear a lot of clothes on cold days. Besides, I've put on a lot of weight recently."

"But I don't think Yue has gained weight."

"Usually, only my boobs change as my weight changes." Yue now could lie to Yun Xi naturally. His face was not red, but his heartbeats had sped up.

“Oh, I see!”

Yun Xi said and touched the fake boobs of the fake woman. Yue was frightened and escaped. The girl didn't notice his panic. She was focusing on her own bosoms, and she touched them while thinking. Standing beside her, Yue felt speechless. Facing such a girl as pure as a little white rabbit, he felt he was a werewolf.

Senior General Yun Zhi often came to Xiyan palace, but today was a special day. Perhaps the girl herself did not know, but the two true men and one fake woman had kept it in mind.

After attending the imperial court session in the early morning, Yun Zhi came back to Jicong Mansion immediately and put on his special black clothes with golden hem. He had customized a set of extremely beautiful jewelry according to her preferences. Yun Zhi rushed to Xiyan Palace with the jewelry.

Today was Yun Xi's birthday. Since she was 9 years old when she lost her family and her kingdom was ruined, she had never celebrated her birthday. Even she couldn't remember this day.

The snow stopped. The world had been covered with thick snow. People’s footprints were obvious on the ground. The girl got up early in the morning and ran to the phoenix tree. She liked snow the most. It seldom snowed in the Kingdom of Yun. She now felt she went back to her childhood. She didn't know how to dance but she still danced freely under the tree. Her dancing was not professional but looked pretty lovely.

Yun Zhi opened the door of Xiyan Palace directly. Seeing that girl under the tree becoming livelier, he couldn't be happier.

"Xier, happy birthday."

Then he took out a set of stunningly beautiful jewelry and handed it to the girl. Yun Xi opened it to take a look. At first glance, she knew it was not cheap, but it was also not showy. It's a hairpin of good jade. However, the girl had no interest. She gave it to Yue directly. Yue handed it to Yuer who happened to come out. Yun Zhi who sent the gift felt so awkward. Fortunately, Yuer put the jewelry in Yun Xi’s room.

Yuer didn't think she had to accept others’ gifts. After all, she was the Crown Prince’s woman. She would enjoy glory, splendor, wealth, and rank in the future. Yesterday, she helped the Crown Prince arrest the generals of the Kingdom of Shui by some tricks. Now a general had been imprisoned by the Crown Prince. Besides, they also caught a lot of people from the Kingdom of Shui. Because of such a great achievement, the Crown Prince Yun Su had sent her a lot of good things. Now the Crown Prince asked her to pay more attention to everything about Yun Xi.

Yuer's thoughts would not affect this special day. Yue also wanted Yun Xi to be happy. He recalled that she liked snowball fights when she was a child, as she said before. Therefore, he took the initiative to make a snowball on the ground and then threw it to Yun Zhi. A snowball fight began, but he did not want to hit the girl. The snowball fight aroused the girl's interest. The sunny smile on her face melted the two men’s hearts.

Yun Zhi also made snowballs to hit Yue. They kept attacking each other while Yun Xi was between them. However, no one was hit. Yun Xi had worn a broader smile, and sometimes she even burst out laughing, which made Yue and Yun Zhi even happier. Two people became more devoted to the snowball fight. Sometimes, they even threw snowballs at the girl, but they always controlled the strength and the direction. Therefore, those snowballs only flew around the girl.

Yun Xi also joined the fight. She picked up snowballs and threw them around. The two men were so poor. They had to pretend to be hit by her. It was more ridiculous that they even competed with each other to be hit. Fortunately, the girl didn't have much strength so they didn’t get hurt by the snowballs. Otherwise, both of them would have to stay in bed after the snowball fight.

The three people ran crazily. Snowballs couldn't differ enemies from friends, but they never hit Yun Xi. They were just like three children. They were happy and innocent, having a lot of fun. The young girl kept smiling. Her white dress did not get dirty, but it was kind of messy. However, she looked lovelier and more energetic.

As the Crown Prince, he was always occupied by work. However, today was a special day. Today was his sweetheart Sister Xi's birthday. How could he be absent? He handled all things as fast as he could. Finally, Yun Su finished today’s work. He rushed to Xiyan Palace. What he saw was their snowball fight.
