Traveling to ancient times to become a princess, she wins every step of the way

Chapter 117 Meeting the Prince in the Peach Blossom Forest

Closing her eyes and stretching, Su Liluo's sleepy eyes slowly opened.

"Grandma? Am I asleep?"

"Yes, seeing you sleeping soundly, grandma couldn't bear to wake you up. So, did you get enough sleep this time?"

"Well, the familiar smell in the grandmother's room can relax me. I didn't even want to dream, and I fell into a very deep sleep."

Old Mrs. Su could tell that she was trying to make her happy again. She raised her fingertips and lightly tapped Su Liluo's forehead, and smiled with the corner of her mouth raised.

"You are the best at making grandma happy."

The old lady smiled on her face, but felt distressed in her heart.

Looking at Su Liluo's face, she guessed that she had been in and out of the palace every day to treat the Queen Mother, and was exhausted, so she slept so deeply.

Alas, the child grew up and became sensible, but she couldn't bear to let him go.

Man, what a contradiction!

"Of course, my grandmother must be coaxed well."

In the past, she didn't understand the meaning of family.

Now, she felt it.

Su Liluo thought that she must find more opportunities to come back and accompany her lovely grandmother in the future, firstly to fulfill her filial piety for the original owner, and secondly to make up for her regret of not having a family.

'Gurrrrr...'

Su Liluo's stomach protested. When she heard the gurgling sound, the two grandparents looked at each other and smiled, and she even laughed harder.

"Oh, look, he is really a greedy little cat. He just woke up and is hungry. Aunt Cui, please have the food delivered here."

"Yes, old lady."

Aunt Cui did her job neatly, and within a moment, the bead curtain was lifted, and the maids outside the door filed in.

Holding pots and plates of different sizes, they quickly placed all the meals that had been hung over the fire on the rosewood table.

"Old madam, lunch is ready. Please come and have a meal with the eldest lady."

"Ah."

Mrs. Su waved her hand, and except for Qinglian, the remaining maids surrendered and withdrew.

Qinglian and Grandma Cui stood on one side next to Mrs. Su and Su Liluo, preparing to serve them.

Su Liluo smiled at Qinglian and said, "You can go down too, I can do it myself."

Qinglian, who was dressed in a pale pink dress, knew how to read and knew that although Mrs. Su was the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Liluo's words were as useful as Mrs. Su's words.

She nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I obey."

After saying that, Qinglian also retreated.

Old Mrs. Su looked at her behavior and paused, suddenly remembering that only Lu Zhu was left beside Su Liluo, so she turned around and said, "Is it because you don't have enough people around you?"

There is no need for anyone to serve the meal.

The old lady didn't finish what she said, but Su Liluo understood.

Smiling and shaking her head, Su Liluo skillfully picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

"No, Grandma. You don't need many loyal people, one is enough."

"Just like Aunt Cui treats you."

"Luo'er just feels that many things are happier and more convenient if you do it yourself."

"That's fine. As long as you feel comfortable, that's the best."

"Come on, try this crispy meaty lotus root again. The lotus roots were picked in the morning and are said to be very fresh. My mouth is full of bad taste. You used to like this dish the most. Eat more."

Old Mrs. Su moved the white jade carved plate diligently in front of Su Liluo. This was a treatment that even Old Prime Minister Su did not receive.

"Thank you grandma."

Su Liluo lived up to her enthusiasm, picked up a large piece and ate it, her eyes narrowed with a happy smile.

A belated lunch was enjoyed by the two grandsons and guests.

After eating and drinking, Su Liluo accompanied Mrs. Su to the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where they looked at the koi and drank fragrant tea.

When Su Li visited the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, although the moonlight was bright, it did not clearly illuminate the peach grove in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this moment, the dazzling sun at noon has gone away, which is very suitable for strolling and admiring the picturesque pink peach blossom forest.

Walking together with Mrs. Su in front of the pale pink peach blossom forest, Su Liluo realized that there was a place as beautiful as a fairyland in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Grandma, the flowers are blooming so beautifully here."

"Yes, Luo'er, you forgot, these are your grandfather's treasures. Now, he still runs over every day to deworm and water them himself!"

"Yes, I was so dazzled by it that I forgot about my grandfather's favorite things."

In his life, Old Prime Minister Su did not have the hobbies of other men like eating wine and going to dance studios. The only two things he liked to do were playing chess and growing flowers.

He raised flowers, never in pots, only planted them in the yard.

Peach blossoms are his favorite. No one else knows why, only Mrs. Su understands.

The first time they met that year was in the peach blossom forest behind the mountain of Lingyin Temple.

One glance can tell you that she is a young lady from an aristocratic family and a scholar from a poor family.

Their lifelong experience together is simply more exciting than the story written in that picture book.

Su Liluo looked at the blooming peach trees with surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that Old Prime Minister Su could take care of them personally at such an old age.

It shows how much he loves them.

Standing on tiptoes, Su Liluo smelled the most beautiful peach blossom blooming on the branch. The refreshing peach blossom fragrance suddenly penetrated deep into her nasal cavity, and the floral fragrance was intoxicating.

"grandmother."

Su Liluo, who was immersed in the aroma of peach blossoms, suddenly heard the familiar voice of Long Yunxuan.

Turning her face and looking in the direction of the sound, she saw the tall figure standing not far away.

The sun is not shining brightly, but it brings warmth.

The golden halo shrouded Long Yunxuan's body like a dream, and as the corners of his lips curled up into a smile, it made his whole body shine even more.

Su Li's throat felt a little dry, so she swallowed to moisten her throat.

Looking at his face, she suddenly understood the meaning of the poem she had heard before, "On this day last year, in this door, the peach blossoms on the human face reflected each other's red."

It turns out that peach blossoms on a human face can not only be used to describe a woman’s beauty.

When placed on a tall and handsome man, they complement each other perfectly.

Old Mrs. Su nodded towards Prince Rui Long Yunxuan and responded to his greeting with a silent smile.

Su Liluo slowly walked toward him. A pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with white magnolia flowers and auspicious cloud patterns were looming under her dress as she stepped.

"My lord?"

Deep in the peach blossom forest, the person standing against the wind is none other than Long Yunxuan, dressed in white.

Because he knew that after the morning court, he would accompany Su Liluo to the Prime Minister's Mansion to return home, so he did not wear court clothes when he left the house early in the morning.

Emperor Dongling had no complaints about this.

It turned out to be an extremely simple white gown with jade-colored Ruyi patterns on the cuffs and placket.

I had been with him for half a day and didn't see anything special about him.

If you put it on an average person, it would probably only look elegant.
