Along the way, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and the breeze was blowing, bringing bursts of fragrance, which was refreshing.

Chen Xiaoru took a deep breath and felt her mind open up, and all her worries disappeared.

"Your Majesty, the air in this palace smells so good, much better than where I lived before." Chen Xiaoru said with a smile.

"As long as you like it." Xuanyuan Che looked at her, his eyes full of doting.

The two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Imperial Garden.

As soon as she stepped into the Imperial Garden, Chen Xiaoru was stunned by the scene before her.

I saw hundreds of flowers blooming in front of me, competing with each other in beauty, colorful and beautiful.

Red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, yellow like gold, all kinds of colors are intertwined together to form a colorful picture.

The fragrance of flowers is refreshing and intoxicating.

"So beautiful!" Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, her eyes full of amazement.

Xuanyuan Che looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said softly, "Do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it very much!" Chen Xiaoru nodded repeatedly, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

She was like a happy little bird, flying among the flowers, sometimes stopping to admire, sometimes bending down to smell the fragrance, with a happy smile on her face.

Xuanyuan Che followed her all the time, looking at her quietly, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.

"Xiaoru, slow down."

"Your Majesty, what kind of flowers are those? They are so beautiful!" Chen Xiaoru asked, pointing to a sea of ​​flowers not far away.

Xuanyuan Che followed her gaze and saw a sea of ​​pink flowers. The petals were layered like a girl's skirt, swaying gently in the breeze, which was beautiful beyond words.

"Those are plum blossoms." Xuanyuan Che explained softly, "Now is the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom."

"Plum blossoms?" Chen Xiaoru murmured to herself, and the poem "Without the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so strong?" emerged in her mind.

She walked under the plum tree, reached out and gently stroked the tender red petals. The soft touch made her unable to let go.

"Your Majesty, can I pick one?" Chen Xiaoru turned to look at Xuanyuan Che with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Of course." Xuanyuan Che nodded with a smile.

With his permission, Chen Xiaoru carefully picked a plum blossom, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently. A faint fragrance filled her nose, making her feel relaxed and happy.

She put plum blossoms in her hair and smiled sweetly at Xuanyuan Che, looking charming and lovely.

Xuanyuan Che looked at her with amazement in his eyes, as if time had stopped and she was the only one in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you think I look good like this?" Chen Xiaoru walked up to him, turned around and asked.

"You look good. You look good no matter what you look like." Xuanyuan Che praised without hesitation.

Chen Xiaoru felt a little embarrassed by his praise, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty only knows how to make me happy."

"What I said is all true." Xuanyuan Che took her hand and looked at her affectionately. "Xiaoru, you are like the flowers in this imperial garden, beautiful and charming. I can't help but want to protect you."

Chen Xiaoru's heart was pounding and her cheeks became even hotter because of his sudden confession.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"Your Majesty, let's go over there and take a look." She pointed to a lotus pond not far away, trying to change the subject.

Xuanyuan Che naturally noticed her shyness, stopped teasing her, and smiled and nodded in agreement.

The two came to the edge of the lotus pond and saw green lotus leaves, like round plates, covering the entire lotus pond.

Some of the lotus flowers are in bud, while others are already in full bloom. The pink petals look particularly beautiful in the sunlight.

A breeze blew by, the lotus leaves swayed in the wind, and the lotus flowers also swayed gently, as if waving to them.

"So beautiful!" Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but admire again.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Xuanyuan Che also nodded in agreement.

His gaze fell on Chen Xiaoru, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.

He knew that she was the most beautiful scenery in his heart.

The two of them strolled by the lotus pond, admiring the beautiful scenery and enjoying the rare tranquility and warmth.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired. Let's go to the pavilion over there and rest for a while," Chen Xiaoru said softly, pointing to a pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters not far away. Sunlight filtered through the glazed tiles on the roof, casting mottled shadows on the ground that shimmered like broken gold.

"Okay." Xuanyuan Che responded gently, his eyes fixed on Chen Xiaoru. He took her hand and walked towards the pavilion together, his steps full of care.

Inside the pavilion, cushions and refreshments had already been prepared. The palace maids delicately served the fragrant tea and exquisite pastries before quietly leaving.

Chen Xiaoru took a sip of tea, the fragrance of the tea overflowing, refreshing her heart. She turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Che, her eyebrows full of smiles: "Your Majesty, I am really happy to have you accompany me."

Xuanyuan Che looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness: "In the future, when I have time, I will accompany you to wander around the palace. When you get bored, how about we go for a walk outside the palace?"

When Chen Xiaoru heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said with a bit of a coquettish tone: "You are not joking."

Xuanyuan Che chuckled and reached out to stroke her cheek: "When have I ever lied to you?"

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it bursts of floral fragrance, mixed with a hint of sweetness, lingering between the two of them. Chen Xiaoru felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, as if her entire body was immersed in a honey pot.

At this moment, a sharp voice broke the beautiful atmosphere: "Your Majesty, I greet you."
