He walked along the path to the small garden, thinking that he would experience the same things as those described in the storybook.
He knelt on one knee under the flowers and begged for Gu Yanyue's forgiveness.
But from the very beginning, things did not develop according to his imagination. He imagined himself walking towards Gu Yanyue slowly, and then kneeling on one knee affectionately.
But because he was too nervous, he went from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees as soon as he saw Gu Yanyue.
“!”
Gu Yanyue was really shocked by Yu Wenran's action!
If someone had told her before that Yuwen Ran would kneel down in front of her one day, she would have thought that person was crazy, otherwise how could Yuwen Ran kneel down in front of her.
But after seeing it today, she really believed it.
Even if Yu Wenran felt that he had made her angry, he shouldn't have knelt down in front of her as soon as he arrived, right?
If it were to get out that the emperor actually knelt down before his queen, who knows how it would be interpreted.
In this way, I will become one of those enchanting concubines described in the storybooks.
Moreover, Yu Wenran's movements were extremely smooth and fluent. It was obvious that he had knelt many times as a child, and kneeling had become a conditioned reflex for him.
However, this conditioned reflex has lasted for a long time. After all, Yuwen Ran has been the emperor for so many years. Except for offering sacrifices to ancestors and heaven, he is required to kneel, otherwise others have to kneel to him.
Gu Yanyue looked at Yuwen Ran who was kneeling on the ground and asked in surprise: "A Ran, what do you mean?"
After being reminded by Gu Yanyue, Yu Wenran realized that he was actually kneeling on both knees. This was not exactly the same as what he had imagined, kneeling slowly on one knee. It was completely unrelated.
"Ayue, after you left the palace, I thought about it all night and finally figured it out."
While talking to Gu Yanyue, Yu Wenran silently adjusted his kneeling position, changing from kneeling on both knees to kneeling on one knee.
Bai Youjin spat melon seed shells onto the table, watching the fun and asking, "Oh? Then tell me, what exactly did you figure out? Tell me, so I can hear whether what you think is right or not."
Yu Wenran said this with a certain element of coaxing. If he had said this in the past, Gu Yanyue would have given him a way out no matter what.
I just never expected that Bai Youjin would suddenly appear and interfere today.
But his mind worked very quickly, and he quickly came up with a more reasonable explanation. "I shouldn't have told Ah Yue to take good care of Little Wonton in the palace. Although she married me, I promised her that I would not restrict her freedom. I was wrong about that."
"Is this the only thing you think you're wrong about?"
Bai Youjin raised an eyebrow and asked. It was obvious that Yu Wenran hadn't finished speaking. This was completely different from what Gu Yanyue had said to her. She said calmly, "How about you think about it again? See if there's anything you haven't reflected on?"
"Senior Bai, I think you want to talk about the Qianzhou incident?"
As soon as Yuwen Ran heard this, he knew that Bai Youjin was hinting at something, but everything was negotiable. As for the Qianzhou issue, he would not give in no matter what.
"The people of Qianzhou are now so tired that they don't know when they will have their next meal. If I take Ah Yue with me, she will have to follow me, and the people of Qianzhou will suffer together. Senior, I don't want to see Ah Yue suffer with me in Qianzhou."
Yuwen Ran paused, then continued, "Besides, it's snowing heavily in Qianzhou right now, and Ah Yue is already afraid of the cold. Winter in the capital is hard for her to endure, let alone the winter in Qianzhou. I think it will be even colder than the capital. How can I bear to take her with me, and then watch her suffer from the cold without being able to do anything?"
"Yue girl, did you hear what that brat said?"
Bai Youjin was part of the excitement, so naturally she was enjoying watching the fun. Not only that, she could even add fuel to the fire to make the excitement even bigger and more satisfying for her. "Go and explain it to him yourself."
Gu Yanyue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked up at Yuwen Ran with a determined look. She had already colluded with Bai Youjin and decided that today she would make Yuwen Ran agree to go to Qianzhou with her, otherwise she would have left the palace in vain.
"I think these are nothing compared to the people of Qianzhou. Ah Ran, taking me there will do more good than harm. I can cook and make nutritious meals. I can help the people of Qianzhou recuperate in a short period of time, giving them stronger immunity to fight the coming cold winter."
"Also, not only can I make nutritious meals, I also know how to make warmer coats faster to help the people of Qianzhou survive this harsh winter."
Gu Yanyue had heard a few days ago, when Yao Jinle returned, that Qianzhou was not only suffering from a severe drought but also from heavy snow. This winter was even colder than previous years. That was why she wanted to go to Qianzhou with Yao Jinle and do something for the people there.
Yuwen Ran wanted to say something: "But..."
"Okay, don't say anything."
Bai Youjin clapped her hands and stood up from her chair. She had seen enough of the excitement and now she had to finish the task that Gu Yanyue had assigned her. "Just ask this girl Yue to go with you to Qianzhou. Just do as she said. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages of her going there. If she's afraid of the cold, then ask her to wear more clothes. After all, she's the one who's freezing, not you. Why are you so nervous?"
Yuwen Ran was still thinking of making a last-ditch effort: "I'm just worried that she'll catch a cold and get worse."
"Then forget it. If you have the time, why not go and weed the small garden you prepared for your daughter?" Bai Youjin pointed to the small garden not far away and said, "Yue-san hasn't asked the servants to weed for two days. If you had come a few days later, I'm afraid the weeds would have grown half a meter high."
Yu Wenran looked at the small garden not far away, then looked at Bai Youjin, and asked in surprise: "Senior, what are you talking about?"
Bai Youjin raised his chin and gestured for Yuwen Ran to look at the small garden he had prepared for Little Yuntun. "If you don't get started soon, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish weeding by nightfall. When you're done, you can bring Yue back to the palace."
After hearing this, Yuwen Ran wondered why the palace maid had stopped Zheng Hai from coming in, or perhaps it was because she had forbidden Yuwen Ran from bringing any other servants in. It seemed like she was waiting for him there. "Senior, do I really have to do this myself before I can bring Ah Yue back to the palace?"
