Chapter 334 A Sea of Flowers for You
An Qinghe noticed Gu Xixi's gaze and quickly turned his head and lowered his chin.
Gu Xixi turned away calmly, looked straight ahead and said, "Did I bump into you when I fell?"
An Qinghe was just worrying about what excuse to come up with, and when he heard that, he nodded hurriedly, "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gu Xixi say, "I'm so sorry, it's my fault. I have a bad drinking habit and lost my composure after drinking. I even forgot to know my own limitations and drank a few more glasses. I'm really sorry! Oh..."
Gu Xixi's tone was gloomy and she sighed softly.
An Qinghe froze, and before he could even think of a solution, he blurted out:
"No, it wasn't you who bumped into me. It was... Gladiolus, yes, Gladiolus."
Gu Xixi pretended to be confused, "Didn't you just say..."
"I remembered it wrong!" An Qinghe said firmly, "I just remembered that I bumped into Jianlan first, and I pushed him to the ground together. That's right! It must have been at that moment that I hit his chin."
Gu Xixi glanced at He Jinglan who was "concentrating on enjoying the scenery" and understood what was going on.
A flickering, inconsistent speech.
Another effort to stay out of it.
There must be something else going on.
Gu Xixi sighed silently and said, "I see. Does your jaw still hurt?"
An Qinghe shook his head vigorously, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all!"
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it myself."
Gu Xixi turned her head and smiled brightly at him, "That's good."
An Qinghe was pardoned.
He Jinglan's stiff neck also apparently relaxed.
Gu Xixi believed that these two people would not hide the truth from her on purpose. Since they refused to tell her, it could only be the inside story which was insignificant but would embarrass everyone if told.
If you don’t know, then just don’t know.
He Jinglan had already asked someone to make arrangements for today's outing and lake cruise.
The three of them first dismounted and went boating on the lake, drinking Mingqian spring tea and eating seasonal snacks.
After an hour, we reached the shore, abandoned the boat, stepped onto the land, and walked along the path along the river bank.
There are willow trees planted all around, and the newly sprouted willow leaves are changing from light yellow to tender green. Looking up, you can see a lush green mist.
Apart from Gu Xixi and the other three, there were no other tourists nearby, so it was very quiet.
As you walk forward, you can hear the melodious singing of birds everywhere.
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "This place is nice. Especially in the capital, where there are so many people all day long, it's rare to find a place without people. It's not only suitable for outings, but also for daily walks."
He Jinglan said, "This is just an ordinary path. The place I want to take you to is still ahead."
An Qinghe asked excitedly, but He Jinglan kept it a secret and insisted on waiting until they got there to see for themselves.
Turn a corner, go forward, and turn another corner.
The area ahead suddenly opened up.
Gu Xixi and An Qinghe's eyes lit up.
There was actually a sea of flowers ahead.
There are endless forsythia flowers, and behind them is a large peach forest.
When the two kinds of flowers are in full bloom, the rich golden yellow and delicate peach color form a feast of colors.
At this time, the spring breeze happened to blow, the sea of flowers swayed, and the fragrance of peach blossoms was sent to the nose.
There was no one coming or going, and no noise of voice.
There is only the fragrance of flowers, the sea of flowers, the wind and the singing of birds.
What I saw and felt seemed like a dream.
Gu Xixi murmured, "It's so beautiful, it's like being in a fairyland."
Looking at An Qinghe again, he had already let out a howl and rushed into the forsythia bushes.
"So many flowers! I know these! Forsythia is a medicinal herb! The old doctor would be so happy if he saw it!"
"We three are so lucky. There are so many flowers hidden in this place, and no one else has discovered them?"
"The whole place is booked! The whole place is booked!!"
An Qinghe shouted with a silly smile on his face and ran wildly among the flowers.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but laugh, "Don't you think this scene is just like a puppy having fun?"
He Jinglan couldn't help laughing a few times and nodded, "How can they be similar? This is obviously it!"
At this time, An Qinghe ran forward again.
He ran backwards happily, waving his arms at the two people behind him, "Why are you two still standing there? Don't forget that peach trees are also fruit trees! Let's go and take a look!"
He Jinglan and Gu Xixi were not in a hurry. They just followed slowly after hearing what was said.
He Jinglan said disdainfully, "If you say it out loud, then just put down your burden and have fun. But he, on the other hand, saw such beautiful peach blossoms and thought about fruit trees again."
Gu Xixi pursed her lips and smiled, "Peach trees are fruit trees after all."
She was actually very interested, looking ahead and saying,
"But I just don't know who the owner of this peach forest is. Will he allow us to approach?"
He Jinglan said, "It's okay, the owner here has already agreed in advance."
Gu Xixi paused and instantly had the answer in her heart, but she was still not sure.
So he looked at He Jinglan quietly, waiting for her to continue.
He Jinglan was very calm this time, "From the time we got off the boat just now to here, it's all the Regent's Palace."
She looked ahead and said, "Before last winter, this was just an unowned wilderness."
"The peach forest you saw is also a wild peach forest. No one knows when it started growing."
"It was probably when my brother and Mu Nanzhao took the spring exam and accidentally stumbled upon this place while riding horses for a spring outing that year."
"Then it became a secret base known only to the three of us."
He Jinglan paused and turned to Gu Xixi, "Last year, Mu Nanzhao returned to the capital, so His Majesty naturally wanted to reward him according to his merits. In addition to returning his original mansion, he was also supposed to reward him with a lot of gold, silver, and beauties."
"But he didn't want the money and beauties, he just asked for a piece of land from Your Majesty."
"His Majesty did not agree immediately, and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to investigate, and learned that the land was an unowned wasteland."
“First, there are no mineral resources, and second, it is not suitable for cultivation and growing crops.”
"Because of the high humidity, farmers nearby don't even dig their graves here."
"Besides being close to water, the scenery is better, and there are some wild willow trees and wild peach trees that never bear fruit, there is nothing else good about it."
"His Majesty dispelled his doubts and called Mu Nanzhao to ask the reason. Guess what he said?"
Gu Xixi thought for a moment, "He said, it's nothing, he just likes it."
He Jinglan laughed, "You really do know him well. Although not exactly the same, it's almost the same."
She looked at Gu Xixi cunningly, "He said that he got it first because he thought someone would like it, and he will let her play with it however she wants in the future."
Gu Xixi's ears felt a little hot, but her face remained calm.
"It seems that he knows me a little bit. It's not in vain that I have kept him here for so long."
He Jinglan smiled and winked at Gu Xixi, "How about it, seeing this gift in person, are you a little happy?"
Gu Xixi didn't comment and asked, "Why didn't he come? Or..."
She stopped smiling and said, "Could he be in the peach forest ahead?"
"No." He Jinglan said, "You also don't think it's his style."
"If it were in the past, he would definitely show up here and ask you in a cold and arrogant manner what you think."
"But when he left the flower shop, he told me that he would not come today."
