Wan Ge had never had that kind of experience. As the second daughter of the Prime Minister's family, she had always had whatever she wanted. Her cooking skills were only because, as a woman, she would have to take care of her husband in the future, so she needed to know a little bit about cooking, but she rarely actually set foot in the kitchen.

As for the ingredients, the kitchen had prepared them well in advance.

The flowers in the bedroom were picked by the maid long ago and placed in the vase.

Picking lotus flowers and harvesting lotus seeds is something Wan Ge has never experienced before.

…

Wan Ge thought there would be many people going out with them, but unexpectedly it was just the two of them. They didn't go far, just picked lotus flowers near the villa. There was a lake near the villa, and the lake was full of lotus flowers.

Feng Chen rowed the boat for a long time, and she sat on the bed.

Wan Ge looked at him and said, "I never thought that one day, His Highness the Crown Prince would be my boatman. It is truly an honor."

"If you like, I can be your boatman for life. We can come here to escape the summer heat every year."

Wan Ge plucked a delicate, vibrant lotus flower, not taking his words to heart. Once he became emperor, he wouldn't have time for her. Even if they went to a separate residence or another palace to escape the summer heat, he'd likely be bogged down in official duties.

Besides, at that time he was the emperor, high above all others. She wouldn't even dare to dream of being her boatman. She could only listen to it from afar.

Despite his response, Wan Ge smiled and replied with an "okay."

Feng Chenjiu felt that her response was a bit perfunctory, and he was a little sad, but he still didn't say anything.

As the boat reached the center of the lake, it suddenly startled several egrets. Watching the egrets take flight, Wan Ge smiled and said, "The environment here is truly beautiful."

There was a gentle breeze, the fragrance of lotus blossoms, egrets, and a very handsome Crown Prince. Although Wan Ge had told herself countless times that all royal men were scum, she still couldn't help but feel her heart race when she saw that face.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought you here,” Feng Yimu replied proudly.

Wan Ge smiled directly, and Feng Chenjiu stared at his smile, somewhat lost in thought. His Crown Princess was truly beautiful.

While the two of them were somewhat dazed, Wange reached out to pick a lotus flower, but lost her balance and fell straight into the water.

Feng Chenjiu panicked instantly and jumped into the water.

Then they discovered that Wan Ge was alright; she seemed to be a very good swimmer.

When Wan Ge looked up, she saw Feng Chenjiu's worried face and said softly, "I'm fine."

The weather is quite hot now, and the lake water isn't cold at all; in fact, jumping into the lake feels quite comfortable.

"It's good that you're alright." Feng Chenjiu hugged her tightly and jumped out of the water.

"Let's go back early. I'll be worried if you catch a cold and get sick." The deep affection in Feng Chenjiu's eyes made Wan Ge pause for a moment.

The love that Feng Chenjiu's eyes were sparkling at this moment was a look that Wan Ge had never seen in Feng Yimu's eyes in her previous life.

Wan Ge paused for a moment before nodding, and Feng Chenjiu didn't think much of it either, quickly rowing back to shore.

The guards noticed that Wan Ge was still wearing the Crown Prince's clothes and that both of their clothes were wet, so they guessed that the two of them might have fallen into the water.

Feng Chenjiu told them to take the lotus flowers and seeds they had picked back with them, and then he took them back to the villa first.

There was only one hot spring in the villa, and Feng Chenjiu told her to go and take a bath quickly.
