As they spoke, the two entered the hall, where a newly built small courtyard stood, planted with a sweet osmanthus tree.
It was the season when osmanthus flowers were in bloom, and the courtyard was filled with their fragrance. Under the osmanthus tree was a table and stools made of jade, which was where Helian Si would brew tea and contemplate life in his spare time.
"Your Highness, Young Master Jinghua, this servant has had some fine Longjing tea and osmanthus cake prepared."
Yue'er, accompanied by palace servants, brought out tea and snacks and addressed the two of them.
Nan Rong Jinghua nodded slightly in response, holding Helian Si's hand without letting go.
Helian Si didn't mind, and reached out with his other hand to pick up a piece of fragrant osmanthus cake.
She put it to her lips, took a bite, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Yue'er, showering her with praise.
"Delicious! Sister Yue'er's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Yue'er gave Helian Si a coquettish look, then turned her gaze to Nanrong Jinghua, a smile spreading across her face, as she led a group of palace servants.
After bowing to Helian Si and Nanrong Jinghua, he turned around, raised his hand, and led the palace servants out of the hall. Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the carved wooden door.
In an instant, only Nan Rong Jinghua and Helian Si remained in the courtyard.
Helian Si was taken aback by Yue'er's actions. The osmanthus cake in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor. No, it just... just abandoned him like that?
Sister Moon, you are heartless, ungrateful, and making a scene!
He Lian Si glanced furtively at Nan Rong Jing Hua sitting beside him, closed his eyes, stood up, and was about to leave.
But he forgot that one of his hands was still being held by Nan Rong Jinghua. Nan Rong Jinghua tightened her grip slightly...
Helian Si was pulled over, and unfortunately, he lost his balance and fell directly onto Nan Rong Jinghua's lap.
"Gulp."
Seeing the magnified face of the deity so close to him, Helian Si swallowed hard, completely lacking any backbone. Fortunately, he still retained some reason and reached out to push Nan Rong Jinghua away.
No matter how hard she tried to push, she couldn't get away. Instead, the hand that was holding her waist tightened its grip.
"Where does Sisi want to go?"
Youlan's soft, gentle voice rang in my ears, so close I could clearly feel her warm breath, slightly magnetic, making it all the more alluring.
No, no.
Helian Si looked away nervously, his cheeks turning bright red without him even realizing it. His voice was barely audible, as if he wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Master, please, please let me go..."
Helian Si's words were utterly pathetic; he was like an ostrich, not daring to look up at Nan Rong Jinghua, his voice barely audible.
It's one thing to flirt with handsome men, but to be flirted with by them is just unacceptable!!!
Nan Rong Jinghua was amused by Helian Si's appearance in her arms, and chuckled softly, a gentle, delicate sound that, like a feather, unintentionally stirred the heartstrings.
She leaned slightly forward, her fingertips gently caressing Helian Si, like a crumb of osmanthus cake accidentally smeared on a rose petal.
"Call me Jinghua."
It was an perfectly normal action, but when Nan Rong Jinghua performed it, it became unusually ambiguous.
Helian Si was completely flustered; his delicate oval face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe shrimp.
Holding the half-eaten osmanthus cake in her hand, she raised it and shoved it into Nanrong Jinghua's mouth, stammering as she spoke.
"It's very, very delicious. You should try it."
