Chapter 226 Flirtation

Although Zhuang Yan is young and doesn't understand many things, he knows that his grandmother only smiles when she sees him.

He doesn't want his mother to be like this. He wants his mother to be happy every day, every moment, and even when he's not around.

"With Uncle Zhou by your side, your mother won't be the same as your grandmother, and Yan'er will be able to live her life with peace of mind in the future." Yu Zheng patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder and treated him as an adult. Zhuang

Yan looked at the accompanying figures disappearing into the plum forest, and said with a serious face: "Uncle, don't worry, I will get along well with Uncle Zhou."

Fearing that Zhuang Yan was too worried, Yu Zheng comforted him: "Don't think too much, your Uncle Zhou is a good man, Yan'er just be yourself as usual."

It's right that people should move towards each other, but there's no need to deliberately make concessions.

Tired of playing pot tossing, Jiang Ning came over to see the two talking and said, "Brother-in-law, can we learn to ride a horse today?"

"Yes." Yu Zheng agreed, and finally asked Zhuang Yin, "Does Yin want to learn together?"

"Yes." Thinking of the feeling of riding on the horse's back during last autumn's hunt, Zhuang Yin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Today, Yu Zheng had some free time, so he talked to Jiang Shu and personally took Jiang Ning and Zhuang Yin to the racecourse.

Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun were still playing pot tossing. Jiang Shu yawned with her hands covering her lips, and let Chu Yu help her back to the house to take a nap.

The sun was setting, and the plum forest was mottled with light and shadow.

The red plum blossoms grabbed the tail of winter and bloomed in full bloom.

After walking into the depths of the plum forest, Zhou Boxu tentatively took Yu Lan's hand.

Yu Lan didn't dare to look at him and blushed secretly.

Zhou Boxu was delighted as he gently pinched the soft hand in his hand.

In the past, she always held his hand, but now he finally dared to hold her hand.

After walking for a while in silence, Zhou Boxu stopped and raised his hand to pick a branch of red plum blossoms and handed it to Yu Lan.

Yu Lan sniffed it and asked a little nervously: "Have your parents agreed?"

She didn't have the chance yesterday and didn't have time to ask him anything.

"Yeah." Zhou Boxu nodded and tucked the hair that was blown to Yu Lan's face behind her ears: "After the morning court tomorrow, my father and I will report to His Majesty and ask him to grant me a marriage."

Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "How did you convince your mother?"

Master Zhou was easy-going and reasonable, so Yu Lan never worried. But it was not easy to pass the test of Zhou's mother.

Zhou Boxu coughed uncomfortably and briefly recounted what happened yesterday.

Yu Lan was stunned after hearing this, and said with her beautiful eyes wide open in astonishment: "You are such a blockhead, and you actually use this method to threaten others?"

If it was the Zhou Boxu in the past, he would definitely not use such ungentlemanly means.

Facing Yu Lan's teasing, Zhou Boxu said embarrassedly: "Ten years have passed, everything will change."

Yu Lan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said cunningly: "Then what about your feelings for me, have they changed too?"

Zhou Boxu was a head taller than Yu Lan. Yu Lan slightly raised her head and looked straight into his eyes, half teasing and half serious.

Zhou Boxu lowered his head and looked at her, his lips moving as he said: "Of course it has changed."

Yu Lan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he was a little at a loss.

Zhou Boxu took a breath, his pulse full of affection, and said, "It's getting deeper and thicker. I can't live without you."

Yu Lan was both moved and angry, and punched him with her fist, saying, "How dare you tease and scare me."

Zhou Boxu let her hit him, and smiled happily, "I know I'm wrong, and I'll punish you, Princess."

Yu Lan's pink fist was soft, and hitting Zhou Boxu's solid chest was like tickling, making him itchy and unbearable, his eyes were deep.

Suddenly, Zhou Boxu grabbed Yu Lan's white wrist, stared at Yu Lan's moist red lips with burning eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Princess, I want to flirt with you."

Before Yu Lan could respond, Zhou Boxu bowed his head and kissed Yu Lan.

This was the first time the two kissed lip to lip.

Yu Lan felt an electric current quickly surge through her body from her lips, numb and tingling, causing her to become limp and powerless, and the plum blossom in her hand fell to the ground.

"Hmm..." A soft moan escaped from Yu Lan's throat.

Zhou Boxu's body trembled when he heard it, and he stretched out his hands to hold Yu Lan's waist, deepening the kiss.

A breeze blew, blowing off the plum blossoms, which danced around the two of them.

Zhou Boxu's kiss was very awkward, and he was inexperienced and asked for it instinctively.

Yu Lan responded gently, and the two of them kissed each other.

"Princess..." After a lingering kiss, Zhou Boxu held Yu Lan in his arms, panting softly.

Although he had no experience, he was also a man. If he continued to kiss, he would probably lose control of his emotions.

Yu Lan leaned on his chest, listening to his intense heartbeat and teasing: "Your heart is beating like a drum."

This is what it means to have a beating heart like a drum.

Zhou Boxu kissed her forehead lightly and said in a low and hoarse voice: "It likes you."

Yu Lan curled her lips and kissed Zhou Boxu's heart through his clothes, and whispered: "I like you too."

Zhou Boxu couldn't stand such teasing, and his ears immediately blushed.

At this moment, Zhou Boxu had only one thought in his mind, to marry Yu Lan home as soon as possible.

Just kissing and hugging is too tiring.

The sunlight gradually dimmed, and the legs of both of them were numb from standing.

"It's time to go back." Yu Lan left Zhou Boxu's warm embrace.

Zhou Boxu was a little reluctant, and walked back slowly holding her hand.

When they walked out of the plum forest and reached the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Yu Lan saw that no one else was there, only Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun were fishing.

"Where are Yu'er and the others?"

Yu Yuan stared at the lake and said without turning his head, "They went to the racecourse to learn how to ride horses."

"Oh, I caught a fish." Sun Yijun exclaimed and pulled up the fishing rod. A koi fish swung its tail with all its might, splashing water everywhere.

Yu Yuan was splashed with water in his face and said unhappily, "You scared away my fish."

Sun Yijun snorted and laughed, "We agreed that whoever caught the fish first would be the one to listen to."

Yu Yuan said unconvinced, "It doesn't count this time. They just talked and disturbed me. Let's start over."

"You won't win if you try again." Sun Yijun put the fish back into the water and cast the rod again.

Seeing the two quarreling like children, Yu Lan laughed and shook his head, and left with Zhou Boxu.

Both of them were familiar with the layout of the palace, so they went to the racecourse without the help of servants.

"Drive——" Zhuang Yan shook the reins lightly and rode carefully on a pony.

Zhuiyun followed closely beside him to keep him safe.

Zhufeng followed Jiang Ning, protecting and advising him.

Yu Zheng was sitting in the corridor outside the field drinking tea. When he saw Yu Lan and Zhou Boxu, his dark eyes flashed.

After an hour, the lip balm on Yu Lan's lips was gone.

Yu Lan walked to sit beside Yu Zheng, and Zhou Boxu went to the racecourse to replace Zhuiyun.

After guarding Zhuang Yin and jogging around the horse farm for two laps, Zhou Boxu asked him, "Do you want to try a big horse?"

The docile pony is only suitable for experience and fun. If you really want to learn how to ride a horse, you still have to change to a mature horse.

Zhuang Yin frowned and said, "I dare not."

He was only eight years old, not yet as tall as a mature horse, and he was a beginner who didn't know how to control a horse, so he didn't dare to ride a big horse.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." Zhou Boxu led the pony back to the stable and asked the servants to change it to a mature horse.

Looking at the horse that was taller than him vertically and bigger than him horizontally, Zhuang Yin was a little scared, but more of it was the expectation of conquering it.
