"The Duke, several generals, and Marquis Anmin are still talking to the Emperor. We are bored sitting here, so we thought we'd go out for a walk."

Qin Peiyou smiled and said, "I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I would run into my mother and others here."

The queen narrowed her eyes and swept a playful look over Qin Peiyou and the other two.

Su Wenxuan said it was boring, and she believed it.

But Qin Peiyou and He Yanxiu...

Forget it! You can guess with your toes what the two are planning! The queen's mouth twitched, but she did not expose their thoughts. She just smiled and said, "It is indeed a coincidence. I brought them and their sisters out to enjoy the flowers. Since we met, let's go together."

"Yes." Qin Peiyou, He Yanxiu and others agreed and walked at the back together.

When the Imperial Garden was being built, in order to create winding paths leading to secluded places and a feeling of being in a sea of ​​flowers and jungles, most of the bluestone paths were built to be relatively narrow. When there were many people, they could only be stretched into a long line.

When the Queen traveled, there were already a certain number of ceremonial guards and attendants. In addition, Su Yujin and others were already a large group of people, and now Qin Peiyou, He Yanxiu, Su Wenxuan and others were added, so that the team was even longer than expected.

The winding path along the Imperial Garden is quite spectacular.

However, the team gradually became shorter and shorter. When they arrived at the pavilion to rest, the queen only saw Lu Wenjing, the fifth princess and Su Wenxuan following her.

The queen was very secretive, but she still raised her eyebrows and asked, "How many of them are there?"

"Perhaps it is because the scenery of the Imperial Garden is so pleasant that these people were eager to see it and got lost." The fifth princess blinked her eyes and said playfully.

"Maybe." The queen was amused. "But it doesn't matter. Although the Imperial Garden is large, there are people on duty everywhere. They will not be unable to find us. Let's wait here for a while."

But then again, Qin Peiyou has been busy assisting the emperor in handling state affairs since returning to Beijing, and has not had the time to visit Su Yunruo. It is understandable that he is eagerly wanting to say a few words to Su Yunruo at this moment.

But you, He Yanxiu, and Su Yujin are already husband and wife. You have a lot of time to spend together after returning home every day. Now you have to go out for a tryst alone...

Totally heartless!

The queen's eyes almost rolled out of her eyes, but her attention was soon attracted by the red koi fish in the pond next to her.

The pavilion is close to the koi pond, in which many kinds of lotus are planted. Although it is not yet the blooming season of midsummer, the lotus leaves are lush and green, and the fish are playing among the lotus leaves, creating a beautiful scene.

The queen was in a good mood and chatted with others while feeding the fish.

The maids had already brought tea, snacks and fruits for her to enjoy.

As soon as Lu Wenjing saw the food, she was already holding various snacks and eating them with gusto.

After the Fifth Princess finished feeding the fish, she looked into the distance and said, "Mother, the camellias and peonies there are in full bloom. I'll go pick a few for you to put in a vase when you get back. I remember there's a sweet white glazed vase in your palace. The color is light and elegant, and it will look really nice with the peonies."

"Okay." The queen responded with a smile.

The Fifth Princess stood up and when she came to Su Wenxuan, she bowed, "Peony flowers are usually short, so they are easy to pick. However, camellia flowers usually bloom high up, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to pick them. Lord Su, are you free to go with me now?"

Su Wenxuan was a little stunned when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed and said, "I will accompany the princess."

Then he bowed to the queen and walked away with the fifth princess.

Only after she disappeared from the sight of the Queen and Lu Wenjing did the Fifth Princess stop and tell her maid to bring a pair of scissors to pick out a few buds to cut.

"Lord Su works in the Ministry of Rites, and he holds a high position of power. I am wronging Lord Su by ordering him to pick flowers now." The fifth princess said with a smile.

"Princess, you are too kind." Su Wenxuan bowed. "Princess, you are a noble lady. It is my honor to accompany you to play and pick flowers in the imperial garden."

"Master Su, what you said is very polite." The Fifth Princess smiled, "It's just that the so-called golden branches and jade leaves are just because of the luck of being born in the royal family. Just like this flower, because it is now in the imperial garden, its value has increased a hundred times, but the flower is still the same flower, not necessarily as beautiful as outside."

"Master Su, what do you think?"

"The Fifth Princess has such insight at such a young age. I am in awe of her." Su Wenxuan bowed.

"Just bow down and submit?" The fifth princess tilted her head, her eyes revealing cunning.

Is there nothing else?

Su Wenxuan was stunned by the question. When he raised his eyes and met the Fifth Princess's deep yet shining eyes, he was stunned again and lowered his head quickly.

There was a long silence.

The Fifth Princess did not ask any further questions. She just handed the selected flowers to the maid and then walked to the camellia trees to pick the ones she liked.

After she had looked through them, the Fifth Princess smiled and raised her hand, "I'd like to trouble Lord Su to help me pick those flowers."

"Yes." Su Wenxuan responded, took the scissors, and picked the flowers in full bloom as the Fifth Princess pointed, and handed them to the Fifth Princess.

"Thank you, Lord Su." The fifth princess took the flowers and thanked him softly.

"It's just a small favor. You don't have to be polite, Princess." Su Wenxuan bowed and never raised his head again.

Upon seeing this, the Fifth Princess lowered her eyes and said nothing more. She just held the flowers and returned to the pavilion with Su Wenxuan.

"This flower is so beautiful." The queen exclaimed in praise when she saw the peony.

"Yes, it looks good." Lu Wenjing agreed, "And it smells nice too. Make some peony cakes. They will definitely taste good."

Such a beautiful thing is of course the best to eat!

"You are greedy." The queen said angrily, "But Xiaowu, you picked a lot of flowers. Keep a few branches to put in the vase. Ask someone to pick the petals of the rest, wash them, and send them to the small kitchen to make some cakes. When you go back, you can take them back and enjoy them slowly."

"Thank you, Queen." Lu Wenjing was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly. Her eyes rolled and fell on the camellia flowers held by the Fifth Princess. "These camellia flowers..."

"You can't eat this." The fifth princess quickly hid the flower behind her, "I want to keep it for the vase."

Lu Wenjing blinked her eyes, looking innocent, "I didn't say I wanted to eat it, I just thought it looked good and wanted to praise it, but you are so stingy."

After saying that, he stuck out his tongue at the Fifth Princess.

The fifth princess did not show any weakness and responded with a grimace.

For a moment, there were bursts of laughter in the pavilion.

Su Yujin, who heard the laughter not far away, turned her head to look at He Yanxiu, "Shall we go over there too?"

"It's better to wait a little longer." He Yanxiu said with a smile.

"Why?" Su Yujin was surprised.

To be honest, she still didn't understand why He Yanxiu had pulled her to the small path just now.
