Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lingering Fragrance



The day was beautiful. Feng Jin was woken up early by the servants, dressed up carefully, and followed Su Yu into the back garden.

In the woods, the peach grove protected by colorful glazed tiles is in full bloom, its blossoms like the smiling face of a beautiful woman. Colorful butterflies flutter and dance around the petals, and the clear, melodious birdsong echoes from the branches...

Before my eyes, a scene of spring warmth and blooming flowers unfolds naturally.

Feng Jin leaned against the peach tree, not looking at the peach blossoms or her surroundings, but only at Su Yu bustling around in front of her. For a moment, her eyes shifted slightly.

After a long while, she surprisingly moved her lips slowly and softly called out, "Your Highness..."

Upon hearing that long-lost voice, Su Yu thought he was hallucinating. His expression changed abruptly, and he sluggishly turned his gaze to Feng Jin.

He stared at her for a long time, remaining silent.

The soft sunlight streamed down, illuminating Feng Jin's face and gradually warming her small features. Her eyes fell on Su Yu again, and a clear, melodious voice rang out: "Excuse me... what's your name?"

"I...I am Su Yu..." Finally, at this moment, Su Yu's surprised gaze locked onto her, and he didn't blink for a long time, his face full of disbelief.

"A precious gem shines in the heavens, tranquility brings peace to the heart. I am Su Yu, and it is an honor to meet you today, young lady..."

The image of that man in the flowing blue robe, with bright eyes that seemed to glow like stars and a cheerful smile, suddenly flooded Feng Jin's mind and pierced her heart. It was like the clouds and the sea that faced each other across thousands of mountains and rivers, intersecting at a single point, and the myriad stars that awaited them in the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire world.

She raised her bright eyes, glancing at the blooming flowers and then at the handsome man. Her lips curved slightly into a radiant smile: "Su Yu, I remember you."

Su Yu suddenly felt as if time had almost stopped, and everything in the world had become so ethereal and elusive, while she alone occupied her entire world.

“Ah Jin…”

He cried out in surprise and rushed toward her almost instantly. Upon seeing her smiling face, he was completely flustered and immediately raised his arms to embrace her.

He and she embraced each other tightly. In that instant, everything in the world paled in comparison. His eyes and heart could only hold this one woman. All his efforts over the years had not been in vain. His Ah Jin had finally returned.

With a smile on his face, he took her hand and led her into the depths of the peach grove. Su Yu casually plucked a peach blossom, knelt on one knee, looked up and met her gaze. His clear voice slowly flowed from his thin lips: "A Jin, please be the Crown Princess of our Jiang Lan Kingdom, be my woman, Su Yu's woman. I will never betray you in this life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle breeze swirled around her, and peach blossoms fluttered up everywhere. In the blink of an eye, pink petals covered Feng Jin's head, and her light blue gauze dress danced gracefully in the breeze.

Feng Jin stepped forward, took the peach blossom branch from Su Yu's hand, narrowed her almond-shaped eyes into crescent shapes, and smiled slightly, "I'm willing."

A light blue robe fluttered in the wind as he stood upright before Feng Jin, his eyes resolute and clear. He spoke each word with unwavering conviction: "No matter when or where, I, Su Yu, will only ever have you as my wife in this life. I will never betray you, not even in death. This is my vow, and may heaven and earth bear witness!"

After saying that, he grasped Feng Jin's slender waist with both hands, and then a silvery laugh rang out in the garden: "Su Yu, I like you!"

Then, amidst the laughter, someone softly responded, "I also like Ajin, I like her very, very much..."

****************************

The following day, Su Yu personally went to the Golden Palace to meet the Emperor and request permission to marry Feng Jin three days later.

The news caused an uproar throughout the land. Many people had heard that the woman who was about to become the Crown Princess of Jianglan Kingdom was just an ordinary woman of little renown. What was even more unbelievable was that the future emperor of Jianglan Kingdom, the only kingdom in the Five Continents that could rival the power of Beiyou Kingdom, would actually risk a falling out with Grand Tutor Su Heng for such a woman.
