But he didn’t.

He only wrapped his arms around her, his strong arms wrapped tightly around her slender waist, tightening bit by bit.

He didn’t do anything else but hug her and bury his face deep in her soft and fragrant neck.

His hot breath sprayed behind her ear and neck.

It made her body tremble and her heart palpitate.

Gu Yanfei’s mind was blank, and her heart was beating wildly.

“Soon.” His voice was low and thick, as if he was restraining something. His Adam’s apple bobbed visibly.

What was soon?Gu Yanfei wanted to ask, but she felt something soft and warm touch her right ear…

Then he let go of her and stepped back.

Gu Yanfei was still a little confused and had completely forgotten about the question. She covered her burning right ear in a daze.

A beautiful light pink color appeared on her fair,fair jade-like ears and gradually turned red. The rouge-like redness spread from her ears to her neck and cheeks, making her look as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.

Chu Yi lowered his head and washed his face with spring water. He then filled a few bags with spring water.

By the time Gu Yanfei calmed down, the water bags were already bulging. Gu Yanfei’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that he seemed to have been prepared.

She grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Did you specially bring me here to ‘play’?”

Chu Yi nodded. “I discovered this place by accident when I came to Tianhe Garden when I was six years old. Later on, I would come here every year to get some spring water to make tea.”

“I haven’t been here in years.”

It had been nine years.

Chu Yi looked around with some nostalgia. Before he came today, he wasn’t sure if this mountain spring was still there.

The water on his face was still wet. There were still some water droplets on his skin, eyelashes, temples, and eyebrows. The water droplets reflected a crystal-like light under the sun.

At this moment, he looked a little unruly. He was very different from his usual elegant self.

Gu Yanfei looked at his handsome side profile,profile and his heart skipped a beat. She pulled his sleeve tighter and suddenly leaned over to kiss him quickly on the ear.

A light kiss tickled his ear like a feather.

“We’ll come again next year.” Gu Yanfei shook his sleeve and watched unblinkingly as his white jade earlobes turned redder and redder.

As if she had discovered an interesting little secret, she smiled happily.

After a while, Chu Yi turned to look at her, his eyes deep and gentle.

“Okay.”

The word was concise, but there was a fatal temptation, as if encouraging her to be more impudent.

Gu Yanfei felt that her face was a little hot. She turned her face away and thought to herself, “If I was a king, I’d probably be a fatuous king whose beauty brings calamity to the country.”

She scooped up another handful of water from the stream with her palm, lowered her head, and took a few sips. Then, she patted her flushed face with the spring water.

He took out a silver pocket watch from his sleeve and opened it. After looking at the time, he said, “It’s about time. We should go.”

The two of them took their horses and continued on their way.

The person leading the way was still Chu Yi. The two of them walked through this lush forest for another five minutes before the path ahead suddenly opened up. They saw a majestic palace standing in the northwest.

Gu Yanfei blinked and blinked again. Only then did she confirm that the two of them had arrived at Tianhe Garden.

Tianhe Garden was located in the Yanshan area in the western suburbs of the capital. It was a royal garden built by the previous dynasty. After Emperor Taizu founded the country, it was repaired and continued to be the royal palace of the current dynasty.

Tianhe Garden occupied an area of more than 1,000 acres. It was glorious, grand, and magnificent.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves came from the other direction. As they approached, a dark convoy appeared at the other end of the road.

Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin, Lu Shi, Fan Beiran, and dozens of other young masters and ladies were at the front of the convoy, riding their horses over.

“I thought I was first.” Wei Jiaoniang took the lead and rushed towards Gu Yanfei. She wagged her hand and said, “Yanfei, why did you and the Eldest Prince arrive so quickly? Did you take the shortcut?”

“We took a shortcut.” Gu Yanfei nodded calmly. She glanced sideways at Chu Yi beside him and recalled how he had taken out his pocket watch and said, “It’s about time.”

Chu Yi smiled slightly. His smile was like a spring breeze and rain, gentle and harmless.

Gu Yanfei snickered in her heart. She was in a good mood,mood and her eyes curved into crescents again. This guy looks bright and calm on the outside, but deep down, his desire to win is too strong.

The Emperor in the dragon carriage saw the tacit understanding between the two of them.

The Emperor looked at Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei from afar and smiled from ear to ear. He was extremely satisfied. Sure enough, my son is really capable.

The Emperor took out a silver pocket watch and looked at the time. He happily summoned the eunuch, Zhao Rang, and instructed him. Zhao Rang nodded repeatedly.

It was only noon, and the sun was at its brightest and warmest.

Everyone’s convoy stopped outside the main entrance of Tianhe Garden one after another, forming a long, winding line.

The palace servants began to welcome the other convoys into the garden in an orderly manner. The Gu family’s carriage only waited for 10 minutes before Eunuch He personally led Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen into the garden.

“Eldest Miss Gu, Second Lady Gu, this way.” Eunuch He led the way for the two of them with a smile.

The scenery in Tianhe Garden in spring was beautiful. The surrounding pavilions, bridges, mountain rocks, amber, and other patterns were exquisite. They were both grand and elegant. The blooming flowers were colorful and dazzling.

Eunuch He led them around the garden for a long time. Gu Yanfei didn’t remember the way at all until a familiar female voice sounded in front of her.

“Sister!”

Gu Yanfei looked in the direction of the voice and saw a magnificent building in front of him. In front of the magnificent palace, a little girl in a pink palace dress was sitting in a wheelchair. She was smiling at Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen.

An Le smiled and waved at Gu Yanfei. He smiled like a flower.

Behind her were more than 20 palace maids in green and blue palace clothes.

“An Le, when did you come?” Gu Yanfei asked in surprise. She didn’t see An Le’s phoenix carriage today and thought that she hadn’t come.

“I came here early yesterday.” An Le revealed a bright smile and held Gu Yanfei’s hand. She said anxiously, “Let’s go in quickly. Don’t miss the auspicious time.”

Auspicious time? Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and thought, “Is there something to celebrate today?”
