Chapter 282 Love
The next morning, Yu Cheng personally sent Zhou Boxu off and handed him a report and a letter.
"Please take this letter to Concubine Xie."
"Okay." Zhou Boxu took it, said goodbye to Yu Cheng, and got on the carriage.
Shangjing was in the direction of the rising sun, and the wheels rolled and drove away towards the rising sun.
Yu Cheng looked at the carriage moving farther and farther away and sighed almost inaudibly.
He also wanted to go back to Shangjing.
However, as a prince, he did not have the capital to act recklessly. He could only hope that everything would go well in the future and Duanzhou would return to normal as soon as possible, so that he could retire and return to Beijing with peace of mind.
May is the season when peonies are in full bloom. Seeing that the flowering period is about to end, Yu Zheng finally made time to take Jiang Shu to appreciate the flowers and watch the sunset.
It was still the outskirts of the city, and it was still the hillside full of wild flowers and peonies. After a year, Jiang Shu stepped on it again. She was so pregnant that she couldn't climb the hillside. She could only sigh at the beautiful scenery on the hillside.
Yu Zheng asked her, "Do you want to go up?"
Jiang Shu nodded and shook her head, holding her bulging belly and said, "I can't go up."
The hillside was full of green grass, which was soft and slippery. She remembered that when she climbed to the top of the hill last year, she needed Yu Zheng to hold her so that she could walk steadily. Now she was holding her body and didn't dare to take any risks.
Yu Zheng curved his lips and said mysteriously, "Wait a minute."
Wait? Wait for what?
Yu Zheng didn't say anything, and held her hand and strolled leisurely along the river bank.
The wild flowers were everywhere by the river, like a carpet embroidered with flowers, which made people reluctant to step on it.
A light breeze blew by, and ripples appeared on the river surface, breaking the golden light sprinkled on the water.
Such a scenery makes people feel peaceful and comfortable, and extremely relaxed.
Jiang Shu smiled slightly, feeling the breeze caressing her face, smelling the fragrance of wild flowers, and watching the swaying leaves.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhufeng came with a hoe and reported: "Master, the digging is done."
Jiang Shu looked at the mud on the hoe, a little confused.
What is dug?
"Let's go." Yu Zheng led Jiang Shu to the side of the hillside.
Stepping on the steps made of wet mud, Jiang Shu suddenly understood.
No wonder she didn't see Zhuiyun Zhufeng when she got off the car, it turned out that he came to dig the steps.
The two climbed up the steps to the top of the hill. Tan Yu and Zhui Yun also brought a few stools and snacks up.
They found a flat place to put down the stools and snacks, and Zhui Yun and Tan Yu left.
Jiang Shu looked at everything in front of her and said a little embarrassedly: "I just came out to see the scenery. There is no need to indulge me like this."
Yu Zheng pulled her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea leisurely: "Try it. It tastes different in the mansion and here."
Jiang Shu took it and tasted it carefully.
It is indeed different. It is obviously the same tea, but it tastes sweeter now. It is really amazing.
Maybe it is because this place is precious and rare.
"This year's peonies are better than last year." Jiang Shu sighed as he looked at the peony flowers all over the hill.
Everything has two sides. Too much rain is a disaster for people, but for plants, it is nutrition, which can make them grow better and bloom bigger and more colorful flowers.
Yu Zheng stood up and picked a few flowers.
Some were pink and some were white, all in full bloom, so beautiful that Jiang Shu couldn't take his eyes off them.
"The sun has set." Yu Zheng reminded.
Jiang Shu raised his eyes and looked towards the horizon.
The moment the orange sunset touched the horizon, it burst out with a scorching glow, and the golden clouds seemed to burn, turning red at a speed visible to the inner eye.
Shocking and beautiful.
"So beautiful." Jiang Shu couldn't help but exclaim.
Yu Zheng glanced to the side and saw her clear almond eyes reflecting the gorgeous scenery, with a happy smile on her face.
Yu Zheng no longer remembers what is different between this year's sunset and last year's. But he clearly remembers Jiang Shu's expression when she watched the sunset.
It was the same as this year.
She couldn't watch enough sunsets, and he couldn't watch enough of her.
The evening breeze blew, and Yu Zheng reached out and took Jiang Shu into his arms, letting her lean on his shoulders.
"If you like it, we'll come every year." Yu Zheng promised softly.
Jiang Shu said greedily, "I want to watch the sunrise again next year."
"Well, you can also come to see the stars in the sky." Yu Zheng indulged himself.
Jiang Shu looked up at Yu Zheng and said, "Won't my husband feel bored?"
Yu Zheng's dark eyes flickered, "As long as you accompany me, I won't feel bored even if I see you every day."
Jiang Shu blushed and said shyly, "That's not what I asked."
"What is that?" Yu Zheng teased her deliberately.
Jiang Shu hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Yu Zheng was amused by her anxious and helpless look, lowered his head and pecked her smooth forehead and said, "Shu'er, I have already answered you."
Jiang Shu was startled, and suddenly understood.
Yu Zheng said that as long as she accompanied him, he would not feel bored, which meant that in his heart, it was the scenery, not the people, that would be bored.
Jiang Shu, who understood, felt hot on her face and her face turned even redder.
Yu Zheng chuckled and said, "The sunset has run onto Shu'er's face."
Jiang Shu: "..."
When it comes to saying sweet words, she will never be as good as Yu Zheng because she is too thin-skinned.
Picking up the teacup in front of her and taking a sip, Jiang Shu said seriously, "The sun is halfway down. If you don't look at it now, it will be gone."
It was a rare opportunity to come out and relax. Yu Zheng stopped talking and quietly accompanied her to enjoy the scenery.
On the side of the hillside, Zhuiyun and Tan Yu sat on the grass beside the steps, talking and obeying orders at any time.
"The sunset is so beautiful, and the flowers are beautiful too." Tan Yu picked a peony and played with it in her hand.
Zhuiyun looked at her and silently added in his heart: You are beautiful too.
Thinking of something, Tan Yu asked Zhuiyun, "Last year I asked Zhufeng to bring you peonies. Did you receive them?"
Zhuiyun nodded: "I got it."
But the bunch of peonies was scattered and many of them were damaged.
Even so, when he learned that it was given to him by Tanyu, Zhuiyun still found a vase and kept inserting the flowers until the last petal fell before he was reluctant to throw it away.
This year, he wanted to give it to her.
Seeing Zhuiyun suddenly stand up, Tanyu asked in confusion: "What are you doing?" Zhuiyun
said: "Picking flowers, I will be back soon."
Tanyu watched him enter the peony cluster, bent down to pick them, and soon brought back a big bunch.
"For you." Zhuiyun brought it to Tanyu.
Tanyu blushed immediately and stammered: "For...for me?"
"Well, is it enough?" Zhuiyun asked sincerely.
Tan Yu nodded: "That's enough."
After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Zhuiyun speak, so Tan Yu couldn't help asking: "Why did you give it to me?"
Zhuiyun looked at her and asked back: "What about you? Why did you give it to me last year?"
Not only did she give him flowers, she also gave him a sachet embroidered with peonies.
Tan Yu dodged her eyes and said: "You were injured while saving me. I am very grateful and guilty. I gave you flowers to express my gratitude."
Zhuiyun laughed softly and gently exposed her lie: "The meaning of peony flowers is love."
Tan Yu was startled when she heard it, and she subconsciously raised her eyes and ran straight into Zhuiyun's eyes full of affection.
This is a good opportunity given by heaven, and it should not be missed.
Zhuiyun reached out and grabbed Tan Yu's hand, staring into Tan Yu's eyes and said: "Tan Yu, I love you, so I gave you peonies."
She is a girl with a thin skin, so let him say it.
