When did she become familiar with this fragrance?
This thought suddenly appeared in Gu Yanfei’s mind as she heard Chu Yi say, “Have a seat.”
She subconsciously listened to Chu Yi and sat down on the stone stool by the stone table, then casually grabbed a green date from the fruit plate and ate it.
Crack.
The green date had a crisp texture and a sweet taste that filled her mouth and seeped into her heart.
“Wa!”
Outside the pavilion, the frightened blue peacock cried out in excitement non-stop. It spread its wings and flew up, passing low in the air. From time to time, its wings brushed past the treetops and flowers, causing the branches to shake non-stop. Leaves and fallen flowers fell with a rustle, fluttering in the wind…
The peacock flew and flew, and flew again and again, while the cat remained sitting steadily on the peacock’s back, as steady as a mountain.
This scene stunned the little servant.
At first, the servant wondered if he should get rid of the cat. However, when his eyes met the cat’s green charming eyes, he was stunned. He looked at the calico cat on the peacock’s back in a daze.
It was so beautiful!
How adorable!
Gu Yanfei chuckled and called out, “Qing Guang!”
Qing Guang jumped off the peacock’s back in boredom and gently landed on a peach tree not far away. She squatted on the treetop and slowly licked her claws.
The blue peacock was relieved and flew briskly to another small green peacock not far away.
It stopped only seven or eight steps away from the other party and instantly unfolded its colorful tail feathers. It was shaped like a huge folding fan and was as gorgeous as the most gorgeous and exquisite silk. Under the sunlight, it shone brightly and was as beautiful as a dream.
The green peacock looked at it with disdain and walked to the other side. The blue peacock immediately chased after it and rushed in front of the green peacock in two or three seconds. Then, its body trembled, and its tail feathers opened again.
The green peacock ran, and the blue peacock chased. This scene was repeated multiple times.
Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably.
“Is it showing off?” Tears welled up in the corners of Gu Yanfei’s eyes. She took out another green date from the fruit plate.
A few strands of black hair poured down as she leaned forward, hanging in front of her chest. Her black hair was as thick as ink, like the best silk.
Chu Yi’s slender fingers moved. He raised his fingers slightly, but in the end, he suppressed them and said softly, “No.”
As he spoke, he gestured, and the surrounding eunuchs retreated silently.
Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi was sitting beside a few peach trees. His eyes were relaxed, and his smile was clear. A few peach blossom petals happened to land on his shoulder.
“It’s courting a mate,” he said slowly, staring into her eyes without blinking.
The young man had a voice that was even gentler than the spring breeze. It was gentle and slow, flowing straight into one’s heart.
Gu Yanfei widened her eyes slightly as the words he had said to her on the day of the banquet sounded in her ears again. “1 have a sweetheart.”
These few simple words, when she recalled them now, every word seemed to land in her heart.
It wasn’t until now that Gu Yanfei noticed that he was dressed very formally today, wearing a dark blue straight robe with bamboo leaf patterns, with a frost-white small vertical collar inner garment embroidered with silver cloud patterns exposed at the neckline. He had a white jade belt around his waist, and hanging from it was a square seal with a green cicada resting on a bamboo branch, as well as a snow-blue purse.
It was the same snow-blue color as her clothes.
So, he was also… courting a mate?
Chu Yi kept staring at her, watching her every reaction.
The last time they were on the pleasure boat, she wasn’t shy when she looked at him. She was frank and calm. This time, it seemed a little different.
His heart skipped a beat as he weighed whether he should stop here and continue to plan slowly, or if he should decisively pursue the victory.
He made a decision in an instant, took out a sheep fat white jade hairpin from his sleeve, and handed it to her, saying calmly, “I carved this jade hairpin, do you like it?”
The Plum Blossom Hairpin was personally carved by Emperor Taizu and given to the Empress. From then on, it was passed down from generation to generation.
And this jade hairpin was carved for her. It only belonged to him and her.
Chu Yi’s eyes darkened as he moved the jade hairpin in his hand half a foot in Gu Yanfei’s direction.
The hairpin of the white jade hairpin was carved with a pair of double lotuses. The layers of petals were carved vividly, and even the fine patterns on the petals were clear.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gu Yanfei’s heart beat faster again and showed signs of losing control.
Under his warm gaze, her ears heated up slightly.
She couldn’t help but touch her chest.
Is this what it means to have your heart flutter?
Gu Yanfei recalled what her Ninth Senior Sister of the sect had said to her.
Having your heart flutter feels like the stars in the sky had lit up…
She still didn’t seem to be able to understand this feeling.
She was immersed in her own world and didn’t notice that Xiao Shi had rushed over from outside the garden.
“Your Highness, the guest is here.” Xiao Shi cupped his fists at Chu Yi in the pavilion and reported. When he said the word “guest”, his tone was a little strange.
“Bring him over,” Chu Yi instructed calmly, subconsciously clenching the jade hairpin in his hand.
After Xiao Shi replied, he ran away like a gust of wind again and curled his lips in disdain.
He really didn’t have a good impression of this guest!
Seeing that Gu Yanfei didn’t speak for a long time, Chu Yi sighed faintly in his heart. He lowered his eyes and turned the lotus jade hairpin in his hand slightly while thinking to himself: Why was I so anxious?
I still have to try harder!
He was about to put away the jade hairpin when he heard the girl’s clear voice. “I like it.”
Stunned, Chu Yi widened his eyes and looked at the girl beside him.
The girl’s eyes were as bright as cold stars.
She raised her hand and took the lotus jade hairpin from Chu Yi’s hand. There was a bright smile on her lips, and her eyes were like autumn water.
She still didn’t know the feeling of the stars in the sky becoming brighter, but she felt that he was even brighter than the rising sun.
This was definitely a heart-fluttering moment.
For the first time in more than 200 years, her heart fluttered..
