Mo Qiyuan has been in a very bad mood recently and he is very depressed.

Ever since he met the woman who saved his life, he could not forget her. Although the people he sent to look for her found nothing, he still refused to give up and continued to search for her secretly.

He felt that except her, he didn't care about anyone else now. When he saw the concubines in the harem, he just felt very annoyed. He didn't even want to see the imperial concubine and the concubine he had favored in the past.

But the Queen Mother asked him to favor his concubines more so that one of them could give birth to an heir to the throne.

But he really doesn't want to be intimate with these women

Before he met that woman, he thought women were like clothes, which he could replace when they got worn out. But now he realized that no matter which one he replaced, it would not be the one he liked.

The Queen Mother ordered the people in the Jingshifang to hang green badges on the new concubines, but he had no interest in these women at all.

Later, the empress dowager could no longer bear it and called him over, asking him to sympathize with her desire to hold her grandson. Only then did he reluctantly agree to summon someone to sleep with her.

But for some reason, he didn't want to touch the concubines he had never slept with, and was not very willing to come into contact with strange women.

Moreover, even when he was with the concubine he had favored before, he would be absent-minded and her figure would always appear in his mind unconsciously.

Alas, he felt like he was almost lovesick.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, which he had no intention of reading any further, Mo Qiyuan rubbed his brows.

"Chen Fuquan, go and find me a set of casual clothes, I want to go out for a walk."

When Chen Fuquan saw the emperor's expression, he knew that he must be thinking about that woman again. He didn't know who that woman was, and why she could make the usually resolute king so confused and unbearable.

He quickly stepped forward to respond, and soon found a set of casual clothes.

After Mo Qiyuan changed into his casual clothes, he took Chen Fuquan out of Chengqian Palace through the secret passage that led to Plum Garden before.

After exiting the secret passage, I still found the familiar southeast corner of the Imperial Garden.

Chen Fuquan looked around and said, "Your Majesty, where would you like to go today?"

The emperor had taken him out to relax more than once during this period, so he asked this question.

Mo Qiyuan looked up at the warm spring sky and walked towards the plum garden.

"Let's go to the apricot blossom forest behind Yingquan Palace. The apricot blossoms there should be in full bloom at this time of year."

The sound gradually became smaller as his footsteps receded, and Chen Fuquan hurriedly followed him.

When passing by the plum garden, I passed by the plum trees with amulets hanging on them. However, the words on the amulets had become dim and mottled due to wind and sun.

Mo Qiyuan reached out and pinched a peace amulet, brushed off the ink marks on it, and sighed softly in his heart.

After staying in front of these plum trees for a while, we walked through the plum garden and entered the apricot forest.

Mo Qiyuan put his hands behind his back and strolled leisurely in the apricot blossom forest that was as vast as clouds.

He only felt the gentle breeze and the peaceful years, and the burden on his shoulders disappeared in an instant in this intoxicating scenery.

…

I walked deeper into the apricot forest, and suddenly I heard a girl's laughter as loud as a silver bell from the forest.

Mo Qiyuan winked at Chen Fuquan and walked slowly towards the direction where the sound came from.

Pushing aside a section of the apricot blossom branches blocking his way, Mo Qiyuan was able to clearly see the situation in the forest:

A petite and lovely girl was happily picking up apricot blossoms blown down by the wind. She picked them up one by one and put them in a basket. No one knew what she was going to do.

After a while, he saw her standing under an apricot tree, looking up and saying something. Mo Qiyuan followed her gaze.

Then she saw a woman on the apricot tree in front of her, but the branches blocked her view and she couldn't see the woman clearly.

All I knew was that she seemed to be sitting with her back against the trunk of an apricot tree, her legs slightly bent, holding a pot of wine in her hand, and drinking from it with her head tilted back.

After hearing what the girl said, the girl waved to her, and the girl picking apricot blossoms raised the basket in her hand and handed it to her.

She bent down to take it, took another sip of wine, and then threw the basket of apricot blossoms into the air.

The apricot blossoms in the basket suddenly scattered in the air, floating down one by one.

She reached out to catch the basket that fell from the sky, leaving only the rain of apricot blossoms floating in the sky.

The girl under the tree cheered and laughed along with the apricot blossom rain, and the sound was exactly the same as the one Mo Qiyuan had just heard.

I saw her turning around a few times in the rain of apricot blossoms, and suddenly a figure appeared behind her.

Mo Qiyuan then saw that there was a charming woman with a graceful figure half-lying under the apricot tree.

She seemed a little drunk, with one smooth arm as white as a lotus root supporting her cheek, and the other slender hand placed on her forehead, her palm blocking the sunlight coming through the gaps between the branches.

Perhaps she felt the scattered petals falling on her face, so she moved her water lily-like fingers slightly and brushed the petals away.

When Mo Qiyuan saw her face revealed by the flick of her fingers, his mind suddenly felt blank, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

It was her

At this moment, Mo Qiyuan felt that his heartbeat had never been so fast, and joy filled every part of his body.

This kind of surprise, like finding a treasure, took away all the longing for this period of time, and my heart was filled up in an instant.

He stood there, staring blankly at the woman he thought about day and night. Her demeanor at this moment was completely different from that night.

If she was a pure and innocent fairy that night, then at this moment, she was a captivating enchantress, her every move revealing all kinds of charm.
