Then she slowly turned her head, and looked at Jun Zechen with eyes as clear and lively as water, with infinite tenderness in her eyes.
“Although Amaryllis is bright and colorful, it smells delicate and elegant.”
"So I think this flower is similar to Yaoyao." Jun Zechen responded with a doting smile on his face.
After hearing this, Su Jingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled.
Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes, as if she had some new idea.
"Your Majesty, I have many embroidered designs for my dresses, including chrysanthemums, peonies, plum blossoms, crabapples, and azaleas, but I haven't found any with amaryllis. For the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, I'd like to use amaryllis for my palace dress."
She tilted her head slightly as she spoke, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Yaoyao liked it, so she ordered it to be made. Amaryllis is bright and festive, so it's very suitable."
Jun Zechen smiled and said that he actually didn't care much about what was embroidered on the woman's dress.
But she pays great attention to these things. Every time I see her, not only are the embroidery patterns on her dresses different, but even the styles are unique.
Each piece has some unique little thoughts, which always catches people's eyes and brings people a different kind of surprise.
Su Jingyao received his approval and thought that Amaryllis was very good. With a smile in her eyes, as if there was something meaningful in it, she continued to walk forward with Jun Zechen.
I wonder if Jun Zechen has ever heard of a poem, 'Amaryllis is gorgeous and delicate, standing gracefully and elegantly with a quiet rhythm.'
The next sentence is "Although it is gorgeous and charming, it contains a subtle poison, so don't underestimate it."
The sap of amaryllis is poisonous.
Miss Chu was so ostentatious and arrogant, so today she gave Jun Zechen a look.
What would be Jun Zechen's attitude when he summoned Lady Chu?
She was really a little curious.
Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen walked towards the Peony Pavilion. They stopped and walked, sometimes pausing to admire the beautiful scenery, and sometimes chatting and laughing.
In this way, it took almost two quarters of an hour to reach the Peony Pavilion.
Su Jingyao also felt that she had almost digested the food.
Anshun has always been courteous and has made all the necessary arrangements for meals.
At this time, the Peony Pavilion was brightly lit, as if it were daytime. In order to repel mosquitoes, Anshun also thoughtfully prepared incense, and the fragrance permeated the air.
Jun Zechen held Su Jingyao's hand, and they sat together in the Peony Pavilion.
Su Jingyao had no interest in the meals prepared by Jun Zechen, and she had already had dinner, so she sat obediently aside and stretched out her delicate hands to pick up some food for Jun Zechen.
At this time, with the beauty by his side, the breeze blowing gently, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Jun Zechen felt extremely comfortable in his heart.
Not long after, the sound of a pipa could be heard from afar.
Jun Zechen's brows suddenly frowned, his face darkened instantly, and he spoke unhappily.
"Anshun, drive that pipa player away."
Anshun was about to respond when Su Jingyao suddenly said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I originally thought the surroundings were too quiet, but the pipa music comes just right, perfectly suited to the occasion."
Hearing this, Jun Zechen turned around and looked at her, and asked softly, "Yaoyao likes it?"
Su Jingyao nodded slightly.
"In that case, Anshun, bring the person over to play for Concubine Chunshu." Jun Zechen ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Anshun responded quickly.
When Anshun brought the person over, Su Jingyao looked up.
The woman following behind Anshun, holding a pipa and with her head lowered, was wearing a light-colored dress and not wearing many jewelry on her head, but she gave off a faint fairy-like aura.
"Your Majesty, your concubine Yan Cairen pays homage to His Majesty and to Consort Chunshu."
Lady Yan held the pipa and bowed to pay her respects.
"Stand up." Jun Zechen said in a light tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Cairen stood up, her voice filled with a hint of joy that was hard to conceal.
Unexpectedly, this pipa really attracted His Majesty's attention.
"Ms. Yan's pipa music is beautiful, but why aren't there any palace maids serving her?"
Su Jingyao looked at her and asked softly, with a hint of curiosity on her face.
"Your Majesty, I saw that the scenery of the Imperial Garden was very beautiful. After dinner, I wanted to come here to play the pipa to entertain myself. However, I accidentally lost my handkerchief on the way, so I asked my personal maid to find it."
Yan Cairen explained slowly, her eyes moving slightly as she spoke, and her gaze occasionally fell on His Majesty who was lowering his head to eat.
Your Majesty is so handsome that Lady Yan couldn’t stop smiling.
"Anshun, please take a seat. Since Concubine Chunshu likes your pipa music, you can continue to play it." Jun Zechen ordered in a light tone, his face as calm as water.
Yan Cairen's originally joyful smile suddenly froze.
It's not His Majesty who likes her pipa, but Concubine Chunshu?
Her eyes were a little complicated, and she quickly glanced at Concubine Chun Shu who was standing next to her with a gentle smile on her face.
Then she whispered, "Yes, it is my great honor to play for Concubine Chunshu."
After saying that, Yan Cairen sat down, gently placed her hands on the pipa, and began to play.
As she played, a melodious sound emerged, which contrasted with the beautiful scenery around her, and was indeed wonderful.
Su Jingyao looked at this talented lady Yan. She didn't leave any special impression on her during the palace selection, but it seemed to her tonight that she had quite a few little thoughts in mind.
She and Jun Zechen had been out for quite a while. Anyone who was well-informed in the harem knew that Jun Zechen was taking her for a walk in the imperial garden.
The other newcomers were smart enough not to disturb them, but this Yan Cairen was quite courageous.
