After Su Jingyao walked out of Yichun Palace, Miaoyun came up to her and said, "Master, the person I sent just came back and said that they did not see His Majesty at the Qianqing Palace."
Su Jingyao frowned slightly.
She had been in Yichun Palace for nearly half an hour. Now it was just past the hour of You, and Jun Zechen was not in the Ganqing Palace handling government affairs. So where had he gone?
"Then let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity from its west gate. I remember there is a peach forest to the east of Yichun Palace. Can we go through the peach forest to the west gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
Su Jingyao asked with a hint of uncertainty on her face, and a little doubt.
"Yes, master. We can reach the Palace of Heavenly Purity by crossing the peach forest. His Majesty may have returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity by now." Miaoyun responded respectfully.
"Well, let's go. We won't take the sedan chair anymore. Let's take a look at the scenery of the peach forest."
Su Jingyao nodded slightly, then stepped into the peach forest.
The peach blossoms at this time are blooming brilliantly, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky.
Since it was already evening, there was a gentle breeze blowing from time to time, and pink petals floated down and landed on Su Jingyao's shoulders, which was really beautiful.
Suddenly, Su Jingyao stopped walking.
The expression on his delicate face instantly disappeared, and his eyes looked straight to the front left.
When Miaoyun saw her master stop, she also looked in the direction her master was looking.
It's His Majesty?!
And there was a woman beside him? Judging from her attire, she must be a new concubine.
Su Jingyao's eyes instantly turned cold. She was handling trivial disputes between women for him in the harem, but he was having a tryst with another woman here. He was in a really good mood.
Su Jingyao snorted in her heart, pretending not to see it, put a gentle smile on her face again, and continued to walk forward.
After dealing with some thorny issues regarding the flood in the south in the court this afternoon, Jun Zechen felt extremely depressed, as if he was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
So he went out for a walk to relax, but he didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he just brought Anshun with him.
In the past, when he had fewer concubines, he actually liked to go to the Imperial Garden to relax.
Recently, there have been too many beautiful girls in the Imperial Garden, which made him feel annoyed. So he walked out of the west gate of the Qianqing Palace and came to the peach forest which had never been visited by anyone.
He strolled among them, sniffing the fragrance of the peach blossoms, which really helped him calm his mind.
I just didn't expect that I would run into someone by chance while walking.
"Your Majesty, your concubine Baolin Xu pays respect to you."
The woman in the pink dress bowed gracefully.
Jun Zechen frowned, a hint of impatience appeared on his face, and he said casually, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the woman responded softly.
"Why are you here?"
Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic. If she couldn't give a good enough reason, he would dismiss her without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, my Yinyue Pavilion is just outside the peach forest. The peach forest is extremely beautiful in the evening. I will come here to stroll around these days."
Xu Baolin answered cautiously.
"Um."
Jun Zechen just responded indifferently, his expression still a little cold.
"Your Majesty, I love peach blossoms very much and I know a lot about them. If Your Majesty doesn't bother me, would you allow me to speak for you?"
Xu Baolin raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation, and asked carefully.
Jun Zechen didn't care about it. What else could this peach blossom do?
There's no harm in listening to it.
"Go ahead," he responded succinctly.
Afterwards, Xu Baolin began to talk about the growth habits of peach blossoms, and when he talked about poems related to peach blossoms, he was even more vivid.
Then he talked about the craftsmanship of peach blossom wine and peach blossom fans, and then the story of the human-faced peach blossom...
Jun Zechen listened quietly. The soothing voice telling these stories that interested him somewhat actually made his originally tense nerves gradually relax.
After that, Xu Baolin followed Jun Zechen obediently, and his little mouth never stopped talking, whispering various stories about peach blossoms.
Bored Anshun glanced back casually, but this glance was very shocking and he was suddenly shocked.
Pure Concubine?!
Concubine Chun Shu was quite far away from them, and I don’t know if Concubine Chun Shu saw His Majesty?
Anshun frowned tightly, and he began to wonder in his heart. He was extremely conflicted at the moment. Should he tell His Majesty now, or wait for His Majesty to discover it himself?
What is your Majesty's attitude towards Xu Baolin?
If I tell you, will it affect your majesty's romantic encounter?
Anshun's entire face was wrinkled into a ball, as if water could be squeezed out of it.
After struggling for a while, he finally decided to interrupt Xu Baolin and called softly, "Your Majesty."
Jun Zechen heard the voice and turned to the left to look at him. Anshun glanced at him carefully and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Concubine Chun Shu is over there..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen immediately turned to the right.
Sure enough, Yaoyao was walking slowly forward with a group of palace servants.
Jun Zechen's eyes were fixed on that side, but Yaoyao didn't seem to see him?
Then, Jun Zechen was about to step forward, but suddenly remembered that there was another person, so he turned around and ordered, "You step back."
Xu Baolin bowed his head obediently, "Yes, Your Majesty."
A trace of disappointment flashed across her face. She had originally thought that she had met His Majesty by chance today and would definitely be summoned by His Majesty tonight.
Seeing that dinner time was almost approaching, she was ready to invite His Majesty to have dinner at Yinyue Pavilion.
