White and light red lotuses bloom on the turquoise water, and the warmth brought by the breeze indicates that summer is coming.
Qing'er, who had originally lifted her upper body out of the railing to admire the lotus flowers, returned to the room.
"This garden is so beautiful, and the Queen's residence is really different."
"Isn't Zhuge Qing's garden bigger?"
Sitting on the chair, Qing'er reached out and picked up the third cup of tea.
"It's big, but I'm tired of seeing it since I was a kid, so I don't think it's new."
"luxury!"
Shui Xinyuan smiled and pushed the dessert plate in front of Qing'er.
Qing'er unceremoniously took.asxs.心.
"But I heard that Zhuge Qing also expanded the room for Qing'er."
"It's really annoying. Was it my husband who leaked the secret?"
Qing'er frowned, then turned into a somewhat impatient expression.
"I remembered... I heard that when His Majesty asked you what you wanted, you actually said that you wanted to buy some new clothes or hairpins for the court ladies?"
"Ah, because they took good care of me in the past..."
"You are taking care of them, right? Besides, if you don't occasionally tell me what you want, Your Majesty will complain to my husband again, saying that Shui Xinyuan is too polite and so on."
"...Your husband leaked the secret?"
Shui Xinyuan smiled nervously while drinking tea.
"But I really don't have what I want."
Needless to say, clothes and food, there are also plenty of things to give to my hometown.
"I'm not being polite. I can still continue to practice dancing, and Qing'er can come to me often. I have nothing else needed."
"You really have no desires and no demands! You are still the same."
Qing'er occasionally feels sympathy for Lu Fusu.
"Since you are a queen, why not dress up a little more gorgeously? You are almost the same now as you were when you were a court lady."
"I'm much more gorgeously dressed than you." Qing'er said as she looked at Shui Xinyuan, who had a hairpin in her hair and wore almost no fancy clothes.
"But...if I have to wear silk all day long, it's really hard for me to calm down."
"More than a month has passed, and your temperament still hasn't changed much..."
Thinking about the past Zongzong, life is completely different from the current life, and it’s no wonder.
"But His Majesty must also think that you don't know how to act coquettishly. Do you really not have what you want?"
"No."
"not even one?"
"ah!"
Shui Xinyuan suddenly clapped his hands and smiled.
"I want a baby."
"..."
Qing'er almost spit out the tea.
"One of the seamstresses here just gave birth to a baby. She showed it to me. The baby is so cute..."
"...Shui Xinyuan, Shui Xinyuan..."
Qing'er, who was holding her mouth, finally raised her head.
"When I say this to His Majesty, I must definitely say it to him."
"Hey, can you tell me?"
"Ok, Ok."
Qing'er giggled and waved, and now Lu Fusu was at least rewarded.
"Okay, it's almost time for me to go back. Zhuge Qing said today that he would come back early."
"Ah, then His Majesty should come back early..."
Shui Xinyuan wrapped the remaining snacks in paper and asked Qing'er to take them back.
"I'll come back another day."
"Well, let's go to the church another day, shall we?"
"That's fine."
Shui Xinyuan watched Qing'er walk out of the house and then returned to her residence.
She leaned against the railing near the door, took a breath, smelled the water and greenery, and heard the chirping of birds.
"ah……"
On the corridor on the opposite side of the garden, a young man walked towards the building.
Shui Xinyuan turned around and returned to the house, immediately selected tea leaves and drank hot water.
When the tea was ready, the door opened.
"His Majesty."
"I'm back, Shui Xinyuan."
Lu Fusu smiled at Shui Xinyuan who came to greet him.
Seeing his expression, Shui Xinyuan tilted his neck slightly.
"Did something happen?"
"I can tell?"
"You look very tired..."
"Has it been seen through?"
Lu Fusu smiled and sat down on a chair facing the garden.
Shui Xinyuan poured the prepared tea on the table and placed it in front of him.
"It's just a bit of an argument with a bunch of guys who don't know how to adapt. Don't worry."
"good……"
Lu Fusu leaned on the armrest of the chair, supported his cheek, and looked at Shui Xinyuan.
Shui Xinyuan looked puzzled, and Lu Fusu tapped his fingers on the chair next to him.
"..."
The somewhat shy Shui Xinyuan sat silently on that chair.
The cool wind blows, and the white lotus and the surface of the pond are dyed with the color of the sunset.
Lu Fusu put his arm around Shui Xinyuan's shoulders and gently touched his cheek with his fingers.
Close your eyes and breathe lightly.
Lips intertwined, Shui Xinyuan gently moved her body closer to respond to Lu Fusu.
