Only this green, not disappointing the spring

In order not to attract attention, Emperor Mingde did not even bring Eunuch Wang with him this time, and only picked a guard with strong martial arts skills to follow him.

The couple was dressed very casually, so no one recognized them until they entered the lobby of Shuiyunjian.

Shangguan Qingyue, who finally had some free time, was reading quietly on the second floor of the bookstore with Xuanyuan Yan.

The entire second floor was opened up, and the private rooms in the Shuiyunjian were removed and replaced with a series of semi-open small compartments.

The door was covered only by two pieces of lilac-colored fine cotton cloth, and the curtains only covered most of the door, so the hem of the person's clothes could be seen from the outside.

The reason for doing so is to protect the privacy of the guests without being too secretive, so that engaged young men and women can stay in the same room without causing criticism.

The compartments were arranged in a circular pattern, with rows of bookshelves in the middle. As the bookstore had just opened, there were still many empty spaces with no books to put.

There is a clerk standing every three rows of bookshelves.

One reason is to look after the books, and the other is that if any guest needs help, they just need to shake the wind chime in the compartment and someone will come to take charge soon.

However, these seats on the second floor require additional payment and are not cheap, so ordinary people seldom come up.

Fortunately, all the books in the store can be read freely, as long as they are returned in intact condition.

Emperor Mingde held the empress's hand and was led to an empty seat in the corner by a servant who looked very neat and tidy.

There were four comfortable reclining chairs in the compartment. Emperor Mingde sat down on them and immediately sighed in comfort.

He was holding a travel book in his hand, but he felt drowsy before he had turned a few pages. In a short while, he fell asleep with long breathing.

Empress Chen looked up inadvertently and opened her eyes wide in surprise. They had been married for more than 20 years, and the emperor could only fall asleep a few times.

I didn't expect that he could sleep so soundly on his first visit to the bookstore!

There was an ice basin in the corner of the compartment, emitting a slight chill. She was worried that the emperor might catch a cold, but she didn't have the heart to wake him up. After thinking about it, she decided to go out and ask someone to get a thin blanket.

The staff in the bookstore all wore uniform, making them very easy to distinguish. Shangguan Qingyue would change into work clothes every time she came to the store.

Although her main 'task' today was to date her fiancé, since she was in the store, she still changed her clothes as usual.

She went downstairs and mixed two glasses of fruit drinks herself. As she was walking towards the cubicle with them, she was suddenly stopped by a lady with a graceful and noble temperament.

"Miss, do you have any thin blankets or something like that in the store? My husband accidentally fell asleep, and I want to cover him up to prevent him from catching a cold."

Well, the voice is also very comfortable, gentle and soft, and pleasant to listen to.

Shangguan Qingyue immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and replied in a soft voice:

"Ma'am, please wait a moment. I'll get it for you. Which compartment are you in?"

Queen Chen stretched out her slender and beautiful hand and pointed gently to a corner not far away.

“Right there, good job girl.

I wonder what you have in your hand? It looks very unique and interesting. Can you bring me two cups too? "

For some reason, Shangguan Qingyue had a great liking for the woman in front of him and unconsciously wanted to get closer to her.

The fruit drink in her hand was not actually sold to the public, but somehow she couldn't say no, so she could only accept it with a smile.

The person who just came in wanted to leave immediately, Xuanyuan Yan was a little unhappy.

"You're here to accompany me today, why are you still busy?"

Shangguan Qingyue imitated the other person's habit with some amusement, raised her hand and gently rubbed his head.

"Your Highness, why are you becoming more clingy? When Grandpa Nanrong asked you to be my husband, you were extremely reluctant! Your expression at that time was full of disgust."

Xuanyuan Yan: ...The past is too painful to recall.

Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, she patted his shoulder and said softly:

"Be good, I'll be back soon."

After saying this, he trotted away without waiting for the other party to react, leaving that person standing there in shock for a long time.

This little girl actually dared to tease him!

He didn't have the patience to wait in the cubicle, so he simply followed. He saw the little girl first mixed the same fruit drink as them on the first floor, and then brought it to the second floor.

Then he went to a cubicle in the corner and didn't come out for a long time!

How could he bear this? He immediately walked quickly to the compartment, not caring about anything else, and suddenly lifted the curtain -

The whole person froze immediately.

"Father, father, mother, why are you two here?"

Emperor Mingde rolled his eyes at him and snorted.

"My husband and I paid for it, so why can't we come? It's such a great place, but you didn't even tell me about it earlier. You are so unkind!"

Empress Chen patted the back of Emperor Mingde's hand, gave him a reproachful look, and then said softly:

"Come and sit down, Yan'er. Your father only knows how to scare you. Don't pay any attention to him."

Seeing the person coming, Shangguan Qingyue's original nervousness finally eased a lot. When she first came in, the tray in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Emperor Mingde opened his eyes the moment she came in. The sharp light in his eyes and the strong aura around him were very terrifying.

It was the first time that she felt the emperor's pressure personally, it was so oppressive that she could hardly breathe!

But even this most honorable emperor of Da'an Kingdom did not show any temper in front of the queen.

Even when the queen said something extremely treasonous, he never showed any dissatisfaction.

It's quite contradictory...

Empress Chen pulled Shangguan Qingyue to sit beside her, looked her over carefully, then smiled and said to Emperor Mingde:

"My dear, I didn't expect Yan'er to have such a good taste and be able to pick such a good girl. I'm a little jealous just looking at her!"

When she said this, her eyes darkened and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared. If her second son was still alive, he would have grown up to look like the third prince.

The two of them were only one year apart in age...

Emperor Mingde was most familiar with his first wife, and he noticed at a glance that something was wrong with her mood. With a little association, he guessed the general idea.

He coughed lightly,

"Well, what's there to be jealous of? You are Yan'er's mother. When they get married, won't you be the one to drink the cup of tea offered by your daughter-in-law?"

After saying this, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Qingyue girl, this bookstore is very pleasing to the eye. Would you be willing to go the extra mile and make my study room look like this?"

Although this compartment was designed to be concealed, it was not soundproof, so the people were very careful when speaking and did not reveal their identities.

Shangguan Qingyue immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and then replied carefully:

"Of course I am happy to do so, but half of the credit for this bookstore comes from Miss Wan, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Industry. We must ask her to join us in order to accomplish this."

Emperor Mingde was very puzzled.

"Oh, why is half of it her work? It can't be that all these tables, chairs, benches, bookshelves, etc. were made by her, right?"

He was just joking, but he didn't expect the girl opposite him to nod very seriously.

"You really have a good eye for talent. Miss Wan is very talented in handicrafts under the influence of the Minister.

Most of the things in the store are made by Miss Wan."

Queen Chen immediately became interested, patted the comfortable recliner under her, and asked in surprise:

"Could it be that this recliner was also made by that girl?"

Seeing the little girl nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice, she couldn't help but sigh:

"When did the girls in our Da'an country become so capable?"

After hearing what the Queen said, Emperor Mingde suddenly had an idea.

"I heard that Qingxin Academy was built by Yan'er and you together? Little girl, could it be your idea to build a girls' academy?"

When Emperor Mingde heard the report from his servants before, he didn't feel anything, but when he was mentioned now, he finally came to his senses.

Qingxin, Qingxin, this brat is actually a lovesick guy!

As for why I said "also", it is naturally because he, as a father, is also the same!

Shangguan Qingyue didn't know that Xuanyuan Yan had deliberately ordered someone to leak the news to the outside world. She looked at the people around her helplessly.

Xuanyuan Yan soothed him with his eyes and took over the conversation:

"I knew nothing could be hidden from you. Qingxin Academy was Qingqing's idea, and my son happened to have an unused villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

Plus, Uncle Shangguan happened to be resigning from his post and was at home, so this matter was accomplished very smoothly.”

He looked at Queen Chen again, bowed and said:

"Speaking of the academy, I have never thanked my mother properly. The plaque you gave us has been a great help to our academy."

The Emperor smiled and shook his head, then took Shangguan Qingyue's hand and patted it gently, his face full of appreciation:

"Qingqing, would you like to accompany my wife and I to the Summer Resort for a while? It happens to be next to the Qingxin Academy. Would you like to accompany me to take a look when you are free?"
