Aunt Jinxi somehow learned that the Emperor has been taking a walk in the Imperial Garden every day these days.
Therefore, the young master specially asked Xiao Yunzi to set up this swing set in this corner of the Imperial Garden.
For several days in a row, he would come over with his flute every day, sit on the swing, and play it for more than an hour.
If this continues for a few more days, the young lady's face will probably be swollen. If the Emperor comes and sees it then, he'd be better off not coming at all...
Liu Zhu felt that the location was not chosen well. The apricot blossom forest was an extremely remote place in the Imperial Garden, and few people would come here.
But the young lady insisted that it was precisely because of its remote location that it wouldn't arouse suspicion. With the sound of the flute as a lead-in, if the Emperor were to approach and hear it, he would most likely be drawn over.
But in reality, after all these days of work, aside from a few butterflies attracted by the butterfly-attracting incense, they hadn't even seen a glimpse of the Emperor...
However, when I went out today, Aunt Jinxi secretly told me that it was most likely to work out today.
Although Liu Zhu didn't believe it, she was still on tenterhooks. What if the emperor really came?
Following the sound of the flute, the chubby orange tree walked into the depths of the apricot grove and saw a peerless beauty playing "Guan Shan Yue" on a swing not far ahead.
With a long, drawn-out gaze, filled with excitement and nostalgia, the chubby orange seemed to see Chun Yuan back then.
He longed to approach the beauty and rekindle their romance, yet feared it was like Zhuangzi's dream of the butterfly; in his hesitation, fear arose, and he dared not approach.
He feared that if he got too close, everything before him would vanish without a trace, just like those dreams from the past.
In ancient times, without electronic devices, everyone's eyesight was exceptionally sharp. Liu Zhu noticed that there seemed to be someone behind the bushes nearby, with a large section of clothing sticking out.
It was exceptionally dazzling in the spring sunshine; even in the palace, few could afford to wear such a material, and it was clearly not a style of women's clothing.
Liu Zhu was shocked. Could that person be the Emperor? Her mistress had really attracted the Emperor with the sound of the flute!
No matter how excited she was inside, Liu Zhu dared not show it on her face, for fear of ruining Zhen Huan's important plans.
He gently touched Zhen Huan's back with his finger. With such a distance between them and Zhen Huan blocking his way, as long as he was careful, Da Pang Ju wouldn't notice.
They had planned it out from the beginning: if they discovered anything, they would remind Zhen Huan in this way.
