A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"The princess looks so beautiful in this white dress. Our prince has good taste."

Wan Dong looked at Zhuang Ge'er, who was dressed up like a lotus flower emerging from the water, wearing the dress personally chosen by the young prince. She looked like a fairy from the clouds in the valley who had descended to the earth.

"This dress looks very valuable. Your Highness is very thoughtful."

Zhuang Ge'er gently touched the material of the dress, and a surge of joy arose in her heart. Women have always liked beautiful dresses and jewelry, and Zhuang Ge'er was no exception.

"Princess, let's go out. The prince has been waiting in the main hall for a long time."

After Wandong put on the veil for Zhuang Ge'er, she looked at her bun carefully and then said.

"Then leave quickly."

Zhuang Ge'er nodded, then looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and then let Wandong and several maids escort her out of the yard to look for Gong Kou Shi.

In the carriage, Gong Kou Shi was dressed in blue, looking like a high-spirited young prince, and with the delicate features of a girl. Zhuang Ge'er looked up at him, smiled shyly, and then lowered her head.

"You look best in white. Let someone throw away those messy clothes later."

Gong Kou Shi said with great satisfaction, looking at the woman sitting opposite him as if he was appreciating his own masterpiece.

"Whatever the prince says is what it is."

Zhuang Ge'er still couldn't figure out the temperament of the young man in front of her, so she replied according to his meaning.

After getting off the carriage, Zhuang Ge'er followed Gong Kou Shi through many palaces, alleys, corridors, pavilions and forests, and finally arrived at a temporary palace.

"Xiaoge, wait for me inside first."

Zhuang Ge'er looked up at the plaque on the palace door which read "Hehuan Hall".

"it is good."

Zhuang Ge'er nodded and followed the maid into the yard. Gong Kou Shi stood in the corridor and watched the woman's back as she entered the yard. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, as evil and charming as a fox, and as bright as the spring breeze.

What caught Zhuang Ge'er's eyes was a yard full of Albizia julibrissin trees and Albizia julibrissin flowers scattered all over the ground.

"Why are there still albizzia flowers in this season?"

Zhuang Ge'er remembered that this tree should bloom in June and July. Now it is August and it is time for it to bear fruit.

"Sir, the Albizia Julibrissin in this courtyard is a special variety. It blooms for six months, but only produces flowers and leaves, not fruits. In October, the flowers fade and the leaves emerge, like a reincarnation."

The maid serving in the Hehuan Palace stepped forward and replied.

"It's quite rare. It shows that the person who cultivated it has a special fondness for this tree."

Zhuang Ge'er squatted down and picked up the fallen flowers on the ground, not very happy.

"Princess, would you like to sit in the pavilion and wait for the prince?"

Wan Dong looked back at the pavilion that had been decorated, then walked forward and asked.

"I'm not tired. The albizzia flowers are blooming beautifully. Let them leave first."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the circle of palace maids surrounding her and felt a little awkward, then whispered to Wan Dong.

Wandong nodded and waved to all the palace maids, indicating that everyone should go about their business. He looked at Zhuang Ge'er who continued to squat down and pick up the albizzia flowers on the ground, and couldn't help but smile.

Gong Heyu and Qi Ye, who had just finished court, were walking towards the Hehuan Palace.

"Why is Shi'er waiting in Hehuan Palace instead of Chaoyang Palace?"

Gong Heyu asked with some surprise.

"The young prince said that he recently preferred the new tea made with the Albizia Julibrissin flowers, so he went to the Albizia Palace."

Qi Ye remembered that it was during this time that the willful prince confessed his mistake to him.

"Shi'er came here alone?"

Gong Heyu suddenly remembered that his younger sister loved to send beauties to the palace, so he quickly stopped and asked.

Qi Ye naturally understood what his master was thinking, and couldn't help but smile, and then replied respectfully.

"The prince only brought the future princess and a few personal maids with him to the palace this time. No one else."

Seeing Qiye's subtle expression, Gong Heyu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, then continued walking towards the Hehuan Palace.

Arriving at the Hehuan Palace, the palace maids guarding the gate knelt down and saluted silently when they saw the emperor. Gong Heyu raised his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities and walked into the yard. From afar, he saw a slender woman in white standing under the clusters of Hehuan trees. When Gong Heyu saw the figure, his body froze involuntarily, and Qi Ye beside him also widened his eyes.

Gong Heyu walked forward involuntarily. The closer he got, the more uncontrollable his breathing became. Qi Ye couldn't believe his eyes. The back figure was exactly the same as the woman his lord had been thinking about.

"Huan'er..."

Gong Heyu walked forward, gently pulled the woman's arm and whispered.

Zhuang Ge'er felt someone gently pulling her arm, and thought it was Gong Kou Shi coming back. She turned around and smiled, but it was a face she had never seen before. Only the eyes were exactly the same as Gong Kou Shi's. Both of them were stunned.

Gong Heyu looked at the woman in front of him with a beaded curtain on her face and was speechless for a moment. He then looked at the birthmark on her forehead and slowly let go of the woman's arm.

"who are you?"

Gong Heyu asked with a somewhat lost voice.

"My name is Zhuang Ge'er."

The woman in white looked at the man in front of her and immediately knew that he was the Emperor of Dayan, Gong Heyu, and hurriedly knelt down to salute him.

"Zhuang Ge'er..."

Gong Heyu couldn't help but choke up when he heard the woman's voice sound so familiar.

Zhuang Ge'er knelt on the ground to pay her respects, wondering if she had done something inappropriate. Why did the emperor keep looking at her but not ask her to stand up? She couldn't help but feel scared.

Gong Kou Shi stood at the entrance of the yard and looked at the scene in front of her. She couldn't help but smile. Everything was as she expected.

"Brother Royal..."
