She looked up and instructed, "Huang Ye, escort Miss Bai."
Bai Jiaojiao bit her lip lightly, clearly somewhat unwilling.
She looked up at Yu Nanqing with pity, only to find that Yu Nanqing didn't even glance at her.
Bai Jiaojiao then pursed her lips and reluctantly left under Huang Ye's unfriendly gaze.
Although Bai Jiaojiao was gone, the question remained in Su Wanyan's mind. She rested her chin on her hand, swung her legs, and suddenly looked up: "Yu Nanqing, aren't you in a hurry?"
Yu Nanqing was initially worried that Su Wanyan would be unhappy, but seeing that her expression didn't change and that she uttered this inexplicable sentence, he was stunned: "What?"
What I mean is, are you in a hurry to have children?
Yu Nanqing felt a lump in his throat; he had never even considered this question.
He frowned: "Yan'er knows me, why ask such a question?"
Su Wanyan smiled: "I was just asking."
To be honest, if Yu Nanqing really had such thoughts, it wasn't impossible for her to put them on the agenda. After all, having transmigrated to this era, she couldn't possibly live entirely according to modern thought patterns.
When necessary, it's still possible to combine different approaches.
“No.” Yu Nanqing frowned. He had discussed this issue with Su Wanyan a long time ago, and he would never force Su Wanyan if she did not want to.
It's not that he never fantasized about it, but even so, he only thought about his relationship with Su Wanyan, and he didn't really delve into the issue of having children.
In his original life trajectory, he would not have been able to survive. He owes everything he has today to Su Wanyan. He has never forgotten this, nor dared to forget it. After Su Wanyan cured him, she was originally going to leave.
He was already very content that Su Wanyan could stay by his side; he dared not ask for anything more.
Yu Nanqing took Su Wanyan's hand and said, "What Yan'er thinks is what I think. If Yan'er feels that the time is not right, then the time is not right. I will listen to Yan'er."
Su Wanyan gently rested her chin on her hand, looking at him with a teasing smile in her eyes: "Actually, it's not that I can't cooperate with you."
Yu Nanqing's heart tightened, and his heartbeat quickened. His ears turned slightly red. He coughed and turned his face away, saying, "Yan'er is teasing me again."
Seeing his strong reaction, Su Wanyan couldn't help but smile.
At times like this, Su Wanyan could understand why some boys liked to tease girls so much; it was really fun.
Just then, Mingyu's voice came from outside the pavilion: "Halt! The Prince and the Empress are resting here. No outsiders are allowed to disturb them."
Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan turned around and saw a woman wearing a light pink gauze dress and a sky blue bird-patterned coat walking in front of the pavilion. She was followed by two personal maids.
Seeing that Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing had noticed them, the woman bowed respectfully and said, "This humble woman, Lu Chao, greets Your Highness and Your Highness the Princess."
With Bai Jiaojiao in front of her, Su Wanyan was in a bad mood, but she still maintained a polite smile: "Miss Lu, what is it?"
Lu Chao lowered her eyes: "This humble woman had no intention of offending Your Highness and Your Highness. However, I have known Bai Jiaojiao since childhood. Knowing that Jiaojiao disturbed Your Highness and Your Highness's peace, I have come to apologize to Your Highness and Your Highness."
After he finished speaking, the two maids behind him presented him with the food box.
"I know that Your Highness and Your Majesty went out for an autumn outing on Qixi Festival. These two boxes of pastries are from Fuweilou's Nianhua Su and Qingrong Gao. Only ten servings of each type of pastry are available each day. I happen to have pre-ordered them, so I am presenting them to Your Majesty to have a taste."
Qiu Ye's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
She also placed an order for the Nianhua Pastry and Qingrong Cake from Fucheng Fuweilou, but it would take several days to arrive. This was only because of the status and position of Prince Gong's Mansion, which allowed them to move up the waiting time for her order.
Because Fuweilou's orders are already booked until August, it means that the two kinds of dim sum that Lu Chao has today were ordered a month in advance.
Qiu Ye looked at Su Wanyan with a tempted expression at such a rare treat.
Su Wanyan didn't know if she was doing it intentionally or unintentionally, but hearing her say that, most of her prejudice against her disappeared: "Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Did Bai Jiaojiao come with you?" Su Wanyan asked, not in a hurry.
Lu Chao pursed her lips and shook her head: "This humble woman came with my elder brother."
She truly didn't know that Bai Jiaojiao was also there today.
Su Wanyan said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I am not angry with Bai Jiaojiao. You don't need to apologize on her behalf. I came out for an autumn outing today, so there are no such rules."
After saying that, she looked at Huang Ye and said, "See Miss Lu off."
Seeing that she did not say she would accept the pastries, Lu Chao lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is so magnanimous, I am deeply grateful. However, these pastries are rare and represent my heartfelt wishes. I hope Your Majesty will accept them."
Su Wanyan hesitated for a moment before looking at Qiu Ye.
Qiu Ye understood and stepped forward to accept both boxes of pastries.
Lu Chao seemed relieved, lowered her eyes and curtsied: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now."
Her voice was soft and clear, which made Su Wanyan feel very comfortable.
He kept his eyes on the ground while speaking, without glancing around. He stepped down just as quickly and decisively.
Su Wanyan had initially thought that she was also there for Yu Nanqing, but now that she realized the misunderstanding had occurred, she felt a little guilty.
Looking at her back, she saw that she had indeed come with a man. The man was a head taller than her and his features were somewhat similar to Lu Chao's. He must be the elder brother she had mentioned.
The group was about to descend the mountain, seemingly preparing to return home.
Su Wanyan was staring blankly when a hand suddenly blocked her view. Yu Nanqing said sullenly, "Today was supposed to be a time for us to be alone. It's one thing to be disturbed, but Yan'er is so absent-minded."
My soul was completely captivated.
"Tsk." Su Wanyan brushed his hand away and saw that Lu Chao had already disappeared. She glared at him with annoyance: "I don't think that Miss Lu came here to cause trouble. I felt bad for making her kneel for so long."
She deliberately didn't let her get up immediately; she was abusing her power to make things difficult for her.
How can it not be considered a disturbance?
Yu Nanqing frowned. Why couldn't he apologize at any time, when he and Su Wanyan were so affectionate?
However, when the words "mutual affection" came to mind, Yu Nanqing suddenly pursed her lips and fell silent, her ears turning a faint blush.
With his eyes lowered, he took Su Wanyan's small hand in his and gently pondered her feelings. The love between them... well, it was fitting for the occasion.
"What are you doing?" Su Wanyan pulled her hand back immediately at Yu Nanqing's sudden action: "What are you touching in public?"
"..." Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, not daring to reveal her little thoughts.
Su Wanyan wasn't really going to press him about what he was doing. She turned to Qiu Ye and asked, "When we were talking about the Nianhua Pastry and Qingrong Cake, I saw your eyes light up. What's the story behind them?"
