She knew that these words of gratitude were too insincere, but she really had nothing to give him in return.
He was so high and mighty, with so much power in his hands, and he lacked nothing.
Minimize the disturbance; that's the best reward she can offer.
A quiet male voice sounded softly from above: "Shall we go for a walk by the lake?"
Su Wanwan: "..."
His body tensed instantly.
They are not the kind of people who can take walks together.
Looking up, he had light eyebrows and eyes, and even a hint of aloofness.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tried to relax.
He helped me a lot, and it was just a small request, not excessive at all.
There is no reason to refuse.
"Um."
To the north of Xiaoyuan Garden is a huge training ground, and going east past several pavilions and towers, there is a vast lake.
The blue sky and white clouds in the morning were reflected on the clear lake surface, showing the tranquility of summer.
Upon seeing Wansui Mountain across the lake, she immediately realized where she was.
"Is this the West Garden?" she asked.
"Um."
He stood beside her, turning to look at her. "Want to take a boat ride?"
Su Wanwan curled her fingers and shook her head: "No."
When they were children, boating on Taiye Pond was their biggest dream.
But the Empress Dowager forbade it, saying it was too dangerous.
They were clearly located to the west of the palace, on a large and stable ship, surrounded and protected by a group of palace servants.
Lu Xingjian was only seven or eight years old at the time, and he stamped his feet and said angrily:
"Wanwan, when I grow up, I'll take you on a boat trip, and then let's see who dares to stop us!"
Xiyuan has a lot of flowers, trees and shrubs, and there are mountains and water.
However, the Empress Dowager did not allow them to come and play, but only occasionally, when she was in the mood, would she take them to sit in the small pavilion on Wansui Mountain.
Later, a pavilion called "Yuxiu Pavilion" was built on Wansui Mountain, which violated the princess's name and was said to have caused the little princess's death.
A fire also broke out at Qingning Palace.
They never went out to play again.
Now, almost ten years have passed, and he has ascended the throne as emperor, but they no longer have the status to travel together on a boat.
...
The two simply walked slowly along the shore of Taiye Pond without saying a word.
On the opposite bank of the pond are the palace walls.
The golden glazed tiles gleamed in the sunlight.
His family lives there.
His stepmother, his empress, and his concubines.
This might be the last time we meet.
Take good care of yourself.
Su Wanwan said silently to herself.
When everything was packed, Heying came to report: "Miss, you can set off now."
