Chapter 68: Encounter in the Peach Forest



After Su Jingyao left Yichun Palace, Miaoyun came forward and said, "Master, the person I sent just came back and said that they didn't see His Majesty at the Qianqing Palace."

Su Jingyao frowned slightly.

She had been in Yichun Palace for almost half an hour. Now it was just past You time, and Jun Zechen was not in Ganqing Palace handling government affairs. So where did he go?

"Then let's go to the Qianqing Palace from its west gate. I remember there's a peach forest to the east of Yichun Palace. Can we go through the peach forest and reach the west gate of the Qianqing Palace?"

Su Jingyao asked with a hint of uncertainty on her face and some doubt.

"Yes, master, we can reach the Qianqing Palace by crossing the peach forest. His Majesty may have returned to the Qianqing Palace by now." Miaoyun responded respectfully.

"Well, let's go. Let's not take the sedan chair and 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 truly beautiful.

Suddenly, Su Jingyao stopped in her tracks.

The expression on the delicate face instantly disappeared, and the eyes looked straight to the left front.

Miaoyun saw her master stop and looked in the direction her master was looking.

It's His Majesty?!

And there was actually a woman beside him? Judging from her attire, she must be a new concubine.

Su Jingyao's eyes instantly turned cold. She was handling the disputes and trivial matters between women in the harem for him, but he was having a tryst with another woman here. He was really in a 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 difficult issues related to the flood in the south in the court this afternoon, Jun Zechen felt extremely depressed and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

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 women 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 while walking, I would still meet someone by chance.

"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 breathtakingly beautiful in the evening. I've been strolling in the forest these past few days."

Xu Baolin answered cautiously.

"Um."

Jun Zechen just responded lightly, his expression still a little cold.

"Your Majesty, I love peach blossoms very much and have a deep understanding of them. If Your Majesty does not bother me, would you allow me to speak to you about them?"

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 say?

It's okay to listen 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 crafts of peach blossom wine and peach blossom fans, and then told 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, his little mouth never stopping, whispering all kinds of stories about peach blossoms.

Bored Anshun glanced back casually, but this glance was shocking and he was suddenly shocked.

Pure Concubine? !

Concubine Chun Shu was quite far away from them, and I wonder if she 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 hesitating for a while, he finally decided to interrupt Xu Baolin and called out softly, "Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen heard the voice and turned to the left to look at him. An Shun 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?

Jun Zechen was about to step forward, but suddenly remembered that there was another person there, so he turned around and ordered, "You step back."

Xu Baolin bowed his head obediently and said, "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.
