Chapter 147 Merlin Date
Quan Minghe brought Shen Yuning to Merlin.
This is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, which is a good time for plum blossoms to bloom.
In the plum forest, the plum blossoms are in full bloom.
The plum trees are of different heights, with strong and twisted branches, mottled with ink-like textures, showing the vicissitudes of time, yet they stand proudly between heaven and earth.
This plum forest existed long before the construction of the imperial palace, and it is a stunning sight every year when the flowers bloom.
In the past, the emperors and their concubines would come here to admire the plum blossoms in their spare time. When the female officials and palace maids had some free time, they would often come here together, just to see the beauty of the plum blossoms in full bloom.
Because His Majesty came here today, Li Ming cleared the plum forest early. At this moment, the surroundings are quiet, with only the plum blossoms quietly blooming.
Shen Yuning looked up and saw large patches of plum blossoms coming into view. The flowers were some pink like smoke, as if in a dream, and some white like frost and snow. They were pure and elegant. The petals were as light as feathers and clustered together, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
The stamens are lovely and tender yellow, exuding a faint fragrance that seems to be there and not there, drifting away with the wind, lingering at the tip of your nose, refreshing your heart and making you intoxicated by the scent.
The beautiful scenery seems to have the magic to make people forget their worries.
There was a thick layer of petals on the ground.
Shen Yuning couldn't help but let go of Quan Minghe's hand, raised her feet and slowly walked towards the depths of the plum forest, her feet stepping on the flower petals, making rustling sounds.
Quan Minghe stood behind her and looked at her. Seeing that she liked Merlin, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since her miscarriage, he had been worried that she would be immersed in the grief of losing her child and unable to extricate herself. Now that he saw that she was attracted by the beautiful scenery, he felt relieved.
As Shen Yuning walked, she stopped, raised her head slightly, and her sad eyes fell on the red plum blossoms on the branches.
Mumbling to himself: "Sadness every morning, sorrow every evening. Like marks on the snow, the marks reflect the plum blossoms, and the plum blossoms are filled with sorrow."
The voice was very soft, as if the plum blossoms were also stained with the sorrow in her heart.
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, wanting to pick a red plum blossom from the branch, but the branch was quite high, and she failed to pick the flower after trying several times.
Instead, the snow on the plum branches fell down and landed on her palms. In a moment, it turned into a pool of snow water. A hint of coolness came from her palms, but it was not as cool as her heart at the moment.
Quan Minghe came quietly behind her, and when he heard her sad words, he couldn't help feeling sad.
He couldn't fully empathize with her; she was just an immature child.
The only reason he felt sad was because it was her child.
Therefore, the only one who truly thinks about this child every day, feels sad and heartbroken for him is her, the mother.
Quan Minghe was wearing a black cloak and standing behind her. His large figure completely enveloped Shen Yuning.
He stretched out his right arm, grabbed the red plum blossom, and with a little force, picked the plum blossom off the branch.
Then, he circled her from behind, handed the plum blossom to her, and whispered in her ear: "Be open-minded every day, and comfort each other at all times. Like the sun in the snow, the sun shines on the plum blossom, and the plum blossom is full of fragrance."
The voice was low, as if comforting, but also as if making a promise.
Shen Yuning's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she sneered in her heart.
Could it be that what he meant was that he was comparing her to the plum blossom and himself to the warm winter sun?
What it means is that he will be like the warm sun in the snow, shining on her, a woman as noble as the plum blossom. As long as she is caressed by the sun, the plum blossom will be full of fragrance again, and the good days will always come again.
He will always be by her side.
Quan Minghe is now very good at talking about love, but it's a pity that she is not the woman who will accompany him in talking about love.
Shen Yuning can bloom on her own.
She pretended to be touched, turned around, and put her arms around his waist.
The two people, one in black and one in white, standing in the plum forest are as beautiful as a painting, contrasting beautifully with the surrounding plum blossoms, as if everything in the world has stopped at this moment.
Quan Minghe held her in his arms, his large body completely enveloping her. He inexplicably hoped that time could stop at this moment.
Her dependent and nostalgic look made him feel warm in his heart.
It seems that as long as I hold her like this, I can keep this beauty until the end of time.
He used to think that after he became the emperor, Xixi would die and he would be alone for the rest of his life, but now she would always be by his side.
Quan Minghe hugged her tighter, making Shen Yuning a little breathless.
He said softly, "If you like these plum blossoms, I will have them transplanted to your palace, okay?"
Shen Yuning shook her head on his chest, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She said slowly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness. But everything has its proper place. The plum blossoms gather here to create a beautiful scene and emit a rich fragrance. If they were moved to the palace, they would lose the beauty of the group and I'm afraid it would be difficult to have such interest."
"If I am thinking of it, Your Majesty, please accompany me here to enjoy it. What do you think?"
Quan Minghe lowered his head to look at her, and at this moment, Shen Yuning also raised her head slightly.
Their eyes met, as if there were traces of affection flowing between them.
"good."
Quan Minghe responded softly, his eyes fixed on her face which looked even more beautiful against the backdrop of the plum blossoms.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, as if he couldn't control his emotions.
His arms around her waist tightened unconsciously, and then he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Shen Yuning could clearly feel that Quan Minghe's breathing was gradually becoming rapid. In the past, his kisses were always overbearing and direct.
But now this kiss carries some lingering meaning, as if it contains endless affection.
It took him a long time to let go of Shen Yuning.
Shen Yuning's cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, just like the shyness of red plum blossoms on the branches after being reflected in the snow.
She lowered her eyes slightly, as if she didn't dare to meet Quan Minghe's burning gaze, and her heartbeat quickened because of the intimate action just now.
Quan Minghe's mouth corners unconsciously raised, and he reached out to tidy up the hair on her forehead that was messed up by the wind.
"The beauty of Meilin is even more charming with you by my side."
Shen Yuning raised her eyes and glanced at him, the emotions in her eyes were complicated and difficult to discern, and she forced a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. The plum blossoms in Meilin are so beautiful that they can move the heart. I am just taking advantage of their beauty."
Kwon Myung-hyuk took her hand and walked in the plum forest, enjoying the rare tranquility and beauty.
The breeze was just a slight breeze, but it still brought a hint of coolness, and Quan Minghe was worried that Shen Yuning would catch a cold.
"It's cold outside after all. I'll take you back to Yaohua Palace. Don't catch a cold."
Shen Yuning nodded obediently, letting Quan Minghe lead the way, and slowly walked out of Merlin.
After returning to Yaohua Palace, Quan Minghe sent Shen Yuning to the palace gate, gave her a few detailed instructions, asked her to have a good rest, and then turned and left.
