Time flew by and the end of the year arrived.

The generals guarding the border were about to return to the capital to report on their duties.

And Feng Yu's beloved, the brave and skilled warrior, Ling Chong, who was appointed as the General of the Valiant Cavalry by the Emperor at a young age, was also returning to the capital.

During this period, Feng Yu rarely caused trouble for me, instead wholeheartedly waiting for her beloved to return to the capital.

She even asked Gu Xing to speak to the Emperor on her behalf, hoping that the Emperor would grant her marriage to Ling Chong.

However, Ling Chong was born into a family of military officials and showed remarkable talent in battle at a young age.

For such a talent, the Emperor would not allow him to just be a leisurely noble in the capital.

Such talent should be guarding the borders of the Great Liang and defending against external enemies.

But Feng Yu stubbornly refused to see this.

Just as Ling Chong finished reporting his duties to the Emperor in the Hall of Diligent Governance, Gu Xing invited him to the Eastern Palace.

The purpose was to relieve Feng Yu's lovesickness.

I heard that Feng Yu has already taken Ling Chong to the Imperial Garden for a secret meeting.

How could I miss such a good opportunity?

So, I called Chang Ying to accompany me to the Imperial Garden.

I went straight to the two of them and quickly met them.

I warmly greeted, "Princess, what brings you to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers today?"

Feng Yu didn't want to talk to me, but with her beloved by her side, she reluctantly replied, "The scenery in the Imperial Garden is picturesque. This princess is accompanying General Ling to enjoy the view. Why is the maid here? Isn't the Crown Prince resting today? Shouldn't the maid be serving the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace?"

"His Highness has gone out of the palace for official business, so I have some free time to take a stroll."

With that, I gently played with the jade pendant on my head.

When Ling Chong, who was beside Feng Yu, caught sight of the jade pendant on my head, he was suddenly stunned.

He looked at me deeply, somewhat incredulous.

After achieving my goal, I didn't bother talking to Feng Yu anymore and hinted, "However, the white plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden still can't compare to those behind the Taining Mountain. Tomorrow, His Highness will take me to Taining Mountain to admire the plum blossoms. Why don't you come along, Princess?"

Feng Yu didn't want to travel with me, but Ling Chong beside her was very cooperative, "The white plum blossoms behind Taining Mountain are indeed breathtaking. I used to accompany my mother there to admire the plum blossoms. I wonder how the scenery is now behind Taining Mountain."

Since her beloved had spoken, Feng Yu immediately agreed, "Then tomorrow, let's all go to Taining Mountain to admire the plum blossoms together, shall we?"

Naturally, she couldn't be happier.
