As Li Zhiyi savored the top-grade tea reserved for the royal family, amidst the endless praise and flattery from the ladies, her thoughts had long since drifted far away.
"Is Madam Tang tired?" The nanny beside the Empress Dowager came over.
Li Zhiyi looked up and met the Empress Dowager's concerned gaze: "This humble woman is fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Madam is unwell. If you are tired, this old servant can send someone to take you to the back hall to rest."
Li Zhiyi looked up at the once low-key and gentle Consort De, now the Empress Dowager. Last time in this Wenyuan, it was the Empress Dowager who helped her. Now that the Lou family has fallen, there's no need to be so cautious. Li Zhiyi changed her mind and told the nanny that she wanted to go out for a walk. The Empress Dowager naturally agreed. Fearing a repeat of the last incident, she sent two of her personal maids to accompany her.
"Madam, the peach blossoms by Wenyuan Garden are in full bloom. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"Lead the way." She felt a bit stuffy and wanted to go out for some fresh air, not caring where she wanted to go.
Nourished by hot springs, the peach blossoms in Wenyuan bloom earlier than those in any other part of the capital, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene, making it unique in the capital.
The palace servants, wanting to cheer her up, said, "Madam, you've come at the perfect time. The flowers were in full bloom yesterday, and no one has set foot on them yet."
"Is that so?" Li Zhiyi replied casually.
Li Zhiyi strolled along the narrow stone path beside the woods. The palace servants, knowing she didn't want to be disturbed, dared not say anything more and followed closely behind, constantly watching her steps to prevent her from tripping. This Lady Tang was carrying the first child of the Marquis of Xuanwu, and now the Marquis of Xuanwu and the Emperor were having some friction. If anything were to happen to her, their two heads wouldn't be enough to cover their losses.
"Is Madam tired from walking?" Seeing the person in front suddenly stop, the two palace maids behind also stopped.
"I want to enjoy the flowers by myself for a while, you don't need to follow me so closely."
The two palace maids exchanged a glance and took a few steps back.
Li Zhiyi stood before a peach tree, her hand resting on its lush branches, but her gaze pierced through the openwork carvings on the wall, landing on two figures outside Wen Yuan. The tall figure had his back to her, while the petite one was smiling and saying something, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes slightly curved. Such beautiful eyes made her wonder if the ordinary face was a disguise.
"Refined and elegant, resourceful and wise." The quote from "Travels in the Lands" came to Li Zhiyi's mind.
Li Zhiyi stood there for a long time, her mind filled with memories of Princess Chongye. Only after watching that petite figure disappear into the distance did she release the peach branch in her hand and walk outside.
"Madam... Madam, where are you going?"
Tang Wenxu heard a call coming from the other side of the wall. Looking through the latticework in the wall, he saw the hurried figures of two palace maids. He hid behind a clump of bamboo, preparing to see who had the audacity to spy... Just as he was pondering a plan, a figure wearing a fox fur coat and a light purple robe walked out from the side gate of Wenyuan. The person was wearing a pearl necklace that he had personally fastened around their neck. Who else could it be but his wife?
He was only stunned for a moment before he was caught red-handed hiding behind the bamboo.
“My lord.” Li Zhiyi stopped and looked at him.
"..." Why do I feel like I've been caught cheating on the spot?
The two palace maids breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Li Zhiyi was looking for the Marquis of Xuanwu, and bowed to Tang Wenxu. Only then did Tang Wenxu recognize that these two were from the Empress Dowager's side.
"Weren't you enjoying tea? Why did you come out? Was it stuffy inside?"
Li Zhiyi casually agreed, but Tang Wenxu, sensing the situation was not right, took her arm and led her back to the peach grove in Wenyuan.
"You must be tired from walking so far. Please sit down." Tang Wenxu spread his fox fur on the stone bench and gestured for her to sit down.
Li Zhiyi hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the warm fox fur coat. Still feeling uneasy, she turned back for another glance. The two palace servants behind her had already consciously kept a considerable distance, a distance from which they couldn't hear each other's conversation, and their heads were bowed low.
Seeing this, Tang Wenxu smiled: "Does Madam know who that was just now?"
"Could it be Princess Chongye?" Li Zhiyi voiced her guess.
Tang Wenxu was somewhat surprised and asked, "How did you know, Madam?"
Li Zhiyi continued to guess, "Could it be for a marriage alliance?" Earlier at the banquet, she had been thinking that if the King of Ziju sent a princess of his own blood to Great Yan, it was most likely for a marriage alliance, and less likely for other purposes. Princess Chongye's deliberate concealment suggested she might be observing so cautiously because of rumors of discord between the king and his ministers. After all, a marriage alliance was a bonus; if the Great Yan court was in chaos, there would be no need for it. A woman as intelligent as Princess Chongye would ensure that even a marriage alliance was arranged to maximize benefits.
"Madam is so clever," Tang Wenxu praised sincerely.
Although she understood that Tang Wenxu had his reasons for keeping it from her and that he had something to discuss with Princess Chongye, she still felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the way she looked at her at the banquet. Li Zhiyi turned her face away, her fingertips tracing the embroidery on her skirt, unsure whether she was arguing with herself or with Tang Wenxu.
Tang Wenxu sighed inwardly and leaned down to kiss her cheek: "Even if it's a marriage alliance, it's not about marrying your husband."
Li Zhiyi was taken aback. Yes... even if it was a marriage alliance, she was still marrying into the palace, so why was she acting like this?
"Heh..."
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Wenxu's eyelids twitched, and he asked her with a hint of caution.
Li Zhiyi stared at her tangled fingertips, shaking her head vigorously. She had only just realized that she wasn't as calm and composed as she thought, nor as indifferent as she imagined. Just a few days ago, she had spoken to Tang Wenxu in such a manner. She asked herself honestly, even if this scene had happened then, could she truly have remained indifferent? If she had actually witnessed others interfering, could she have suppressed the bitterness in her heart and feigned magnanimity? Those words she had spoken before were probably just self-protection, self-deception… In reality, she couldn't possibly have tolerated it.
Everything cleared up and the sun shone through.
Having figured this out, the last trace of doubt in Li Zhiyi's mind was dispelled, and a genuine smile finally appeared on her lips.
Tang Wenxu gazed quietly at her profile, watching her expression change several times, from awkwardness and entanglement to relief and acceptance. His mood rose and fell with hers, and finally, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Even when she turned around, the smile only grew wider.
"My lord, I have something to say to you."
"Please speak, Madam."
Li Zhiyi moved closer to him, no longer hiding her jealousy: "At the banquet just now, she seemed quite interested in you."
Tang Wenxu readily agreed and embraced the soft waist that was offered to him. "Don't worry, madam, it has nothing to do with romance."
“But…” Her voice was very low, which made him lower his head to listen carefully.
Suddenly, a soft, warm touch pressed against his lips, followed by a trembling yet bold tongue exploring them. Tang Wenxu's mind went blank; a surge of tingling and sweetness washed over him, sweeter than any kiss before. His thoughts were slightly jumbled, and he remained motionless, accepting her initiative. After the brief, awkward kiss, Tang Wenxu didn't want to ask why; he only wanted to return the favor.
"No, someone will come." Despite saying this, Li Zhiyi did not resist at all.
Tang Wenxu chuckled mischievously, "Then I'll take you somewhere."
Li Zhiyi was led by the hand as they walked out of Wenyuan and turned several corners before arriving at a familiar place.
Noticing her hesitation, he tightened his grip on her hand: "Don't be afraid."
It was impossible not to be afraid. The vast palace was fraught with danger, and it felt like a vengeful ghost was haunting her. She stumbled and fell, filled with fear and trepidation, as she bumped into sharp rocks in the darkness. Hope and despair alternated, but in the end, it was the person beside her who led her out of the artificial hill and pulled her out of her fear.
Li Zhiyi looked at the broken opening above her head, the sunlight streaming in illuminating the spacious area.
Li Zhiyi stood in a familiar spot, touched a rough rock, and murmured to herself, "I think this is where I fell in love with the Marquis."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence."
Unable to contain their emotions, the man and woman kissed passionately in a secluded space, throwing themselves into each other's love like moths to a flame. Tang Wenxu felt his heart melting. Nothing was more pleasurable than the passionate response of the one he loved. This feeling was even more intoxicating than any romantic lovemaking. Although he didn't know what had suddenly changed her, he was happy with the outcome.
If she were to pull out a knife and kill him now, he would probably be willing to offer his neck for the execution.
