After Shen Leyan learned that Emperor Yong'an had arrived, she hurried back to the Shen Mansion.

After she got off the carriage, she trotted along, her heart full of anticipation...

When Shen Leyan entered the hall, the first thing she saw was Emperor Yong'an standing with his hands behind his back, admiring the paintings on the wall.

She approached quietly, and Emperor Yong'an seemed to sense something and turned around. Their eyes met, and both of them showed happy smiles on their faces.

Emperor Yong'an looked at Shen Leyan gently, his eyes full of affection.

Shen Leyan asked in surprise: "Why did the emperor come here suddenly?"

He said softly, "I missed Yan'er, and I just found an opportunity to come and see you today."

Shen Leyan felt extremely sweet when she heard this, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"I just arrived not long ago, and I was planning to pick you up later, but I didn't expect Baoshun to send someone to invite you back directly."

Bao Shun, who was standing behind him, slapped his forehead and instantly understood why the emperor had given him that special look just now...

It turned out that they were scolding him for being smart. He had already started to sweat coldly at this moment. He was really careless this time.

After a while, Prime Minister Shen came with his wife to welcome Emperor Yong'an.

Also accompanying him were Shen Lebai and Shangguan Yueyin who came back with him.

When they looked at the woman standing next to the emperor in the hall from afar, they couldn't help feeling ashamed.

When I got closer, I found out that this woman was not Shen Leyan, but who else could it be?

But wasn't she busy in the store just now?

Among the people present, except for Shen's father who was still unclear about the relationship between the emperor and Shen Leyan, everyone else knew.

Therefore, only Father Shen was shocked by the situation. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses, "When did Yan'er come back?"

"Dad, you are here. I just came back and suddenly saw the emperor here." Shen Leyan explained.

Father Shen nodded and said, "Well, the emperor is here, so we can't be rude. Come and greet the emperor with us."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and quickly stopped him, "No problem, no need to be so polite. I came here suddenly today mainly to discuss some minor matters with the Prime Minister. It's nothing serious, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Then Your Majesty, please follow me to the study to discuss this matter!"

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to bother with it."

"I haven't been to the Shen Mansion for a long time. Why don't we just chat in the garden? I can also play a few games of chess with the Prime Minister."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Your Majesty's suggestion is very good!" Father Shen agreed happily.

"In that case, Your Majesty, please follow me."

Father Shen walked and talked with Emperor Yong'an, slowly walking towards the center of the pavilion in the garden.

Shen Leyan looked at the figure in front of her, and really wanted to know how he could say all these words without blushing or beating his heart.

She remembered that someone seemed to have climbed over her wall not long ago...

Just as she was complaining about him in her heart, Emperor Yong'an seemed to have telepathy and turned back to look at her inadvertently. She felt as if her thoughts were seen through.

She immediately put away the expression on her face and gave him a big smile.

Unexpectedly, this action was seen by Father Shen who turned around, "Is Yan'er feeling unwell?"

"Ah, no, Daddy, my nose just felt a little itchy and I wanted to sneeze." Shen Leyan explained a little embarrassedly, covering her nose with her hand.

Father Shen nodded and continued to introduce them to Emperor Yong'an. However, he felt that his precious daughter was acting strangely today, and it seemed that everyone else was acting strangely too...

The maids had already prepared the chess game. At this time, the hydrangeas in the garden were in full bloom. The flowering period of hydrangeas was originally quite long, and now was the time when they were in full bloom.

Clusters and clusters of hydrangeas, under the sunshine, seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, which is very beautiful.

Everyone else went back to do their own things, only Shen Leyan was left behind to do the hard labor - making tea.

Mr. Shen is very confident in his precious daughter's tea-making skills.

Shen Leyan is best at making scented tea. Father Shen feels that the scented tea made by his precious daughter is much more delicious than those expensive teas.

So today he also wanted to let the emperor taste this flavor, and he believed that he would not disappoint the emperor.

Shen Leyan was brewing tea elegantly while carefully observing the chess game between Emperor Yong'an and her father.

Soon, the fragrance of tea filled the air, and for a moment the entire pavilion was enveloped in a fresh tea aroma.

She gently poured the brewed tea into the teacup and handed it to Emperor Yong'an and Father Shen.

Emperor Yong'an took a sip and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This tea has a unique taste. I have never tasted anything so special," he exclaimed.

Father Shen looked at Shen Leyan with pride and said, "This is the flower tea specially made by my daughter. I am sorry to present it to His Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an looked at Shen Leyan and praised her with a smile, "Your daughter is truly ingenious and skillful. It really opened my eyes."

Emperor Yong'an praised her outwardly, but he was actually humming inwardly. How many more surprises did she have that he didn't know about?

Why had he never enjoyed these things before? At this moment, he suddenly felt a little jealous of Father Shen...

However, Mr. Shen continued to proudly share his precious daughter's daily actions with Emperor Yong'an, which was like salt in the wound and made Emperor Yong'an very frustrated.

It was as if my previous understanding of her was only limited, and today was the only time I could truly fully comprehend her...

Shen Leyan was completely petrified at this moment. Why was Daddy suddenly so high-profile today?

Shen Leyan smiled awkwardly. She secretly glanced at Emperor Yong'an and saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly raised and he was looking at her with a half-smile.

She quickly lowered her head, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking.

At this time, Father Shen said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is not only good at making tea, but she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Sometimes when I play chess with her, I am always defeated!"

"Oh?" Emperor Yong'an became interested. "Then how about letting me learn a little bit of Miss Shen's chess skills?"

Shen Leyan glanced at her father and nodded in response to his expectant look.

"Your Highness, I'll wait until the Emperor and my father finish this game."

Emperor Yong'an smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, and finally he quickly and unceremoniously kicked Shen's father out.

When it was Shen Leyan's turn to play, he felt inexplicably nervous.

Shen Leyan placed the chess pieces with ease and started a duel with Emperor Yong'an.

She had been observing the game between Emperor Yong'an and her father. Although it was her first time playing chess with him, Shen Leyan already had some understanding of his style of play.

So each of her moves, though seemingly careless, was actually carefully considered, and she appeared calm and confident.

Emperor Yong'an stared at the chessboard, secretly amazed. He didn't expect her chess skills to be so superb.
