Chapter 1103 - 13: Putting a Green Hat on the Prince

"Tomorrow let’s go pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots. Whoever digs the most among you four will be rewarded." The Princess said with a smile.

"Wow!" The four maidservants exclaimed joyfully and were instantly filled with anticipation for tomorrow’s outing.

Following the stone path ahead, the area gradually opened up. The wind carried the scent of flowers.

"Princess, look!" Chun Lan exclaimed softly, looking at the scenery ahead.

The Princess looked up and saw fireflies dancing in the distance.

"Extinguish the lanterns, leaving just one. Let’s head to that pavilion." The Princess instructed.

Xia He carefully walked ahead, leading the Princess to the only pavilion by the lake. As she approached the pavilion, she was startled to find someone already there.

"Princess, there’s someone there." Chun Lan whispered.

At this moment, the Princess remembered that Master Wu had mentioned there would be another distinguished guest at Gushan Temple today besides herself, and this guest was someone she knew.

So, who could it be?

"Since you’re here, join us for the view. Wei Chubby." A voice with a hint of laughter came through.

The Princess widened her eyes.

Only one person dared call her Wei Chubby!

And that person was the current Emperor.

The Princess glared angrily. Calling her Wei Chubby was bad enough, but doing so in front of so many others?

Being the Emperor is impressive, huh?

The Princess entered the pavilion with a fierce demeanor and performed a hasty bow. "Greetings, Emperor."

"Hahaha, you’re upset, so I won’t call that again. Come and sit." The speaker had a graceful demeanor and extraordinary charisma, making him hard to ignore even while just sitting there.

"The Emperor seems in high spirits, sneaking out of the palace to admire the fireflies." The Princess remarked coolly, standing outside the pavilion.

"I brought eight-color pastries made by the Imperial Chef." The Emperor suddenly uttered this strange sentence.

"When did the Emperor arrive?" The Princess moved and sat across from the Emperor, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and started to take the pastries on the stone table. The eight-color pastries were developed by an Imperial Chef using eight different ingredients, resulting in cakes of various flavors and colors. Eating them in the specified order made them increasingly delicious.

"Arrived at noon." The Emperor looked at the Princess before him, and in the dim light, his gaze turned deep. Tianmiao... Last lifetime could only meet a little, but this lifetime, he wanted more. Was it possible?

(From now on, changes the term, directly writing Tianmiao.)

"Emperor, can you not call my nickname outside in the future?" Tianmiao complained after finishing a piece of pastry, looking toward the Emperor. As a child, she thought the Emperor was great, visiting the Prime Minister’s Mansion to teach her writing and archery, even bringing delicious treats. Why had he become so annoying when she grew up? Although she was a little chubby back then, Grandfather and Father said it was a blessing!

"Alright, alright. You all withdraw, I have something to discuss with Princess Kang." The Emperor suddenly ordered.

The Chief Eunuch and guards behind the Emperor quickly retreated, while Chun Lan and others hesitated, exchanging glances that questioned the propriety of the situation.

"What are you dawdling for? All withdraw. The Emperor has important matters to discuss with Princess Kang." The Chief Eunuch urged the maidservants waiting nearby.

"Go on." Tianmiao gestured with her hand, indicating for her maidservants to follow the Emperor’s Chief Eunuch to a distant spot. Only then did the maidservants leave.
