C31 (1/2)

Gonghou Garden had a swing, behind the fake mountain, and in the middle of the flower beds, Wang Rong He was the first to notice it.

Not long after, the people in the front hall found out as well. Zhou Yuting wanted to go and play on the swing to let the palace maid send everyone else away. She sat on the swing and let the palace maid push her. The closer they were to the end, the more nervous they became. Empress Dowager Chen was still very nice to her, but she saw that Empress Dowager Li was liking Wang Rong more and more.

Although the Empress Dowager Chen was respected, the Empress Dowager Li was still the biological mother of His Majesty.

Zhou Yuting sighed in her heart. She was only concerned with guarding against Wang Zhixi, but she did not know what was going on. She initially did not care about the back hall, but now that she wanted to infiltrate into the back hall, it was to no avail. Although Wang Rong didn't seem like she could see it, the people from the back hall all sided towards her. If one wanted to have a meal in the Back Palace, Wang Rong would have to give them a different meal. Although palace maid said that Wang Rong gave him the money to leave, and Zhou Yuting wanted to add the money to cut off the line between Wang Rong and this, the palace maid was in trouble.

Was there some other relationship she didn't know about?

Zhu Yijun walked around the Gonghou Garden and saw a lonely Imperial Consort Candidate sitting on a swing. He thought about how some other Imperial Consort Candidate in the palace liked being lonely and thought that it was Wang Rong who would go up and scare her. When the palace maid saw Zhu Yijun, he would kneel down and greet him.

”Stop pushing it, it is giving me a headache.” Zhou Yuting said in a bad mood.

Hearing that, Zhu Yijun also realized that he had mistaken him, thus he stopped and coughed twice. When Zhou Yuting turned his head and saw that it was His Majesty, his heart jumped, his eyes lit up, and immediately jumped down the swing to pay his respects, ”My daughter greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty is extremely fortunate.”

”Stand up, why are you here alone?” Zhu Yijun said.

”The more people in Chuxiu Palace, the more annoyed I would like to find a remote place to calm down. I never thought that I would disturb Your Majesty.” Zhou Yuting half lowered her head in apology, but her watery eyes continued to look at Zhu Yijun affectionately.

”I came here to take a walk, and didn't ask anyone to spread the news. I didn't scare you, did I?” Zhu Yijun asked.

”My daughter is only happy when she sees His Majesty, but she doesn't remember to be frightened.” Zhou Yuting said sweetly.

”Is that so?” Zhu Yijun asked, ”What's your name?”

”Zhou Yuting, my daughter's name is Zhou Yuting, a slim and graceful jade, and a beautiful and beautiful Ting.” Zhou Yuting said, ”Your Majesty, you have to remember my daughter.”

”Alright, I'll remember that.” Zhu Yijun said.

Zhu Yijun did not let her go, and so he accompanied her the entire time. The two of them walked around the Gonghou Garden for half a circle, and only after Zhou Yuting left the Gonghou Garden with his eyes and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile did the two return to the Chuxiu Palace.

The news of Zhou Yuting and the Emperor having a hearty conversation in the Gonghou Garden seemed to have grown wings as they flew to all parts of the palace. Someone from the palace maid said worriedly, ”Empress Dowager Li is the most respectful and solemn person. She does not like to overstep her boundaries, and when Miss sees Your Majesty at Gonghou Garden, not only did she not immediately bow and avoid him, she even had a pleasant conversation with him. I'm afraid that Empress Dowager will not like this.”

”I am a woman who wants to be His Majesty. Nothing is more important than His Majesty's love.” Zhou Yuting said indifferently. She was in a good mood as she took a golden hairpin and compared it with a bun. From now on, no one was allowed to go to the swing. What if she was as lucky as him?

Since His Majesty didn't send anyone to push me on the swing, he must have liked me. Zhou Yuting's heart felt like it was covered in honey, and she smiled sweetly whenever she thought about it. However, how could His Majesty be able to tell that she was pretty from her back? Besides, His Majesty did not even remember her name.

”Now we won't even be able to sit on Gonghou Garden or swing anymore.” Yang Jingru heard Zhou Yuting say that after seeing His Majesty in Gonghou Garden.

”Why? It's not like the Gonghou Garden belongs to her alone.” His Majesty is not her alone.

”If you really want to ride on the swing, then let this young eunuch take a rope board and make one in the courtyard tomorrow. You can sit as long as you want.” Wang Rong He said. There were no waves in her heart, nor was there any hesitation.

”Seriously.” Yang Jingru said, ”I like swings at home. We can also stand on the swing and compete to see who can swing the highest.”

”You're really amazing. I wouldn't dare to do that if I were you.” Wang Rong He said.

”Big sister isn't like a timid person.” Liu Jing said, ”Tomorrow after we make the swing, let's try it out to see who can swing higher.”

”I really can't do it. I'll just watch you guys roam about.” Wang Rong covered her mouth and laughed, ”How about this, since it's a competition, how can there not be a prize?” I have a pear flower hairpin made of white jade and jade, it is very delicate and lovely, whoever wants to get the top spot tomorrow, I will give it to her. ”

”Then I won't be polite.” Liu Jing said.

”I wonder who will die.” Yang Jingru said.

Naturally, she would do everything she could to help her. In the backyard, there was a thick tree branch with four ropes as thick as a wrist hanging down from each side of it, and after fixing it, they would tie up a wooden board. In order to make sure it was safe, they even found a rough eunuch to interview her and wait for everything to be settled before returning to Wang Rong.

”Well done.” Wang Rong praised.

Andersen was so happy that his cheeks were flushed red. ”If there's anything you need, please feel free to tell me. This little one will die for sure.”

”Why are your words so serious?” Wang Rong covered her mouth and laughed, telling Xi Tao to bring two plates of snacks to An Lun's sweet mouth.

Andersen took out the dessert and handed two pieces to the young eunuch who helped him out. He wrapped the rest in a handkerchief and placed them close to his body. He was reluctant to eat them, so he had to eat them slowly.

When the afternoon was cool, eight or nine girls walked together to the backyard. The palace maid had set up a seat under the porch, from here one could watch the Imperial Consort Candidate swing. Yang Jingru had changed into a narrow sleeved shirt, leggings, and a thin, pleated skirt.

Wang Rong He couldn't help but exclaim before sighing, ”How beautiful. ”It's a pity that she can't draw it herself since she's already there. How great would it be to be able to draw her heroic appearance.”
