So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

When Jingyin finished his official duties and rushed over, this was the painting he saw.

The lake and mountains are beautiful, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see, amidst willows swaying in the breeze and the shadows of peach blossoms.

On the shimmering blue waves, elegant carriages and painted boats float, their windows quietly closed.

The intricately carved window frames swayed in the breeze, and through the dappled shadows, a woman reclined on a chaise longue, dressed only in a simple dress, her beautiful eyes gently closed.

Yet it was enough to make the surrounding Penglai Wonderland fade into the background.

He gestured for Li Zhi and the others to wait at a distance on the shore, while he himself quietly stepped into the painted boat.

When Ying Qi, who was standing guard to the side, saw Jing Yin enter, she stood up to bow, but the man raised his hand to stop her and gestured for her to be quiet and leave.

Yingqi understood immediately and quietly withdrew from the pleasure boat.

Those who have served His Majesty year-round already know that when His Majesty is present, the little princess does not need anyone else to serve her.

His Majesty took better care of her than anyone else.

Jingyin had promised to take the little girl boating on the lake this afternoon.

When the pleasure boat was completed and delivered, it was the dead of winter, and he only brought his men in for a brief visit.

We agreed that we could only go boating on the lake when the weather was warmer, and he had to come with us.

Although Taiye Pond was man-made, it was quite deep, and he couldn't feel at ease letting the little girl go swimming in the lake by herself.

Today was the day the two of them had agreed to go boating on the lake together to enjoy the spring scenery.

Chu Yu was impatient. After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, she took her people onto the painted boat.

After court, Emperor Jingyin still had some official business to attend to in the Imperial Study. He had told her in advance that he might be busy until the afternoon and repeatedly reminded her to eat on time.

Who knew that if we didn't keep an eye on her, the little girl would sleep through lunchtime.

"Chu Chu?"

The man leaned close to the sleeping girl, his deep, clear voice softened with gentleness, like a feather falling into her heart.

"Chu Chu—"

The young girl seemed to be dreaming of some delicious food, and unconsciously smacked her lips, causing the man to chuckle softly.

Chu Yu was awakened by this soft laugh. Her long eyelashes trembled a few times and slowly lifted, revealing her misty and innocent dark eyes.

"elder brother?"

"Well, I'm here."

When Jingyin saw that she was awake, he turned around, poured a glass of warm water at the table, returned to the bedside, helped her sit up and lean against him, and fed her little by little.

After drinking a glass of warm water, Chu Yu gradually regained consciousness and asked softly, "Brother, are you done with your work?"

"Um, sorry it's a bit late. Is our baby hungry?"

When Chu Yu first woke up, she was habitually a little clingy. She stretched out her arms to wrap around the man's waist and rubbed her little face against his chest, acting coquettishly.

The man lowered his eyes and watched as she tore her clothes into disarray.

What she was thinking was that it was fortunate that she had just changed into a comfortable and soft fabric; if it were the court robes she usually wore, they would probably have chafed her delicate skin.

Chu Yu nestled in the man's arms for a while before finally speaking in a muffled voice, "I'm a little hungry."

The large hand covering her head paused, then he said in a low voice, "Serve the meal now, and we can dine while boating on the lake, okay?"

The little girl was clearly very sensitive to the words "boat trip on the lake." The moment she heard them, she tilted her head up from his arms, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, and exclaimed, "Okay!"

Li Zhi had been waiting outside with his men for a while. Jing Yin first pulled her out of bed and carefully tidied her slightly disheveled clothes and hair before letting the others in.

Actually, there is a small kitchen on the pleasure boat where you can make some simple snacks and dishes.

However, Emperor Jingyin still ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare all the dishes and send them to the painted boat.

After being moored on the lake for more than half a year, the painted boat finally slowly left the dock for the first time and gradually moved towards Penglai Mountain in the center of the lake.

The pleasure boat moved at a very slow speed, so the two people dining inside were not affected at all.

At first, Chu Yu was able to eat obediently while he held her in his arms, but as the painted boat changed direction and the scenery outside changed, she began to become a little distracted.

Jingyin couldn't get her attention for a long time, so he had no choice but to put the food into a bowl, hold her in his arms, and sit down on the chaise longue by the window to continue eating.

From this vantage point, one can clearly see the beautiful scenery outside the window, and the little girl finally cooperated with his feeding.

Jingyin timed it perfectly; the two had just finished their meal and rested for a while when the painted boat arrived at the dock at the foot of Penglai Mountain.

"Has the baby not been online for several years?"

The man said softly as he draped a cloak over the person to shield them from the wind.

Penglai Mountain is a naturally formed mountain range. Although it is not very high, the mountain road is quite steep.

When Chu Yu was little, she would always beg men to carry her up the mountain to play, but as she got older, she became a little embarrassed.

After all, such a steep mountain path would be difficult for one person to walk on, let alone Jingyin carrying such a big person on his back.

Little did she know that for a man, being able to carry her step by step to the top of Mount Penglai was his heart's desire.

"Oh yes, has the mountain changed?"

Chu Yu has never been a fan of sports, and activities like mountain climbing were almost unheard of in her original world.

Therefore, although Mount Penglai was located in her Penglai Palace, she regarded it as a sacred mountain that could only be admired from afar and not touched, because she really couldn't climb it...

Jingyin understood the little girl's subtle expressions best; he could tell at a glance that she was afraid of climbing the mountain and was feeling apprehensive.

He naturally couldn't bear to let her climb such a steep mountain by herself, but the path at the foot of the mountain was relatively gentle, so he took her for a walk to help her digest her food.

Otherwise, the little lazybones will take advantage of her being spoiled all day long and won't let her get tired, and her limbs will almost degenerate.

Chu Yu knew that, given the man's nature, if he had brought her here, he must want to take her up the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

Sure enough, the man's voice, tinged with amusement, rang out: "Chuchu will know once she goes up and see for herself, won't she?"

Chu Yu: "..."

Let's climb then.

This tiny fairy mountain, Penglai!

The little girl's expression of facing death made Jingyin unable to suppress a smile.

A broad, thick hand with distinct knuckles was extended in front of her. Chu Yu placed her small hand on it, and the man instantly closed his palm, tightly enveloping her hand.

"Let's go."

"it is good--"

On a sunny day, the warm wind produces wheat air, and the green shade and quiet grass wins over flowers.

In late spring and early summer, the tree-lined paths in Penglai Mountain are shaded by flowers and willows, with tender buds and fragrant blossoms.

The two strolled hand in hand, not feeling tired at all.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the pink and white petals of the pine trees along the roadside began to fall.

(Kanzan and Matsumae are cherry blossom varieties, which are late-blooming and open around the end of April. The timing here may be slightly different.)

Pink and white petals fell softly, covering their shoulders.

Chu Yu looked up at the man in front of her, who was covered in flower petals, and said with a smile, "If we can get soaked in the snow together today, then we can grow old together in this life."

The man's pupils were dark and deep, with shimmering, flickering light within them.

After a while, he raised his hand to cup the girl's small face and lowered his head to kiss her red and moist lips.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes.

……

——oo——

Sorry, I've had a cold and fever for the past two days, so I'll be posting only once a week. I'll resume double updates once I feel better!

Many people around me have caught a cold recently, so please take good care of yourselves!
