Chapter 278: Just Two Jealous Youths
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Peony Garden occupied a large area, and it could accommodate thousands of people to admire the flowers.
The wind blew past the willows, the spring breeze blew past, and dozens of acres of peony flowers were like waves, red, white, pink, purple, all kinds of styles.
Large flower buds bloomed on the branches, looking graceful and luxurious. Complicated flower petals, a domineering aura that could not be ignored.
Huangfu Lingyao had already planned it out. Although he rarely came to the Spring Garden, before he came this time, he had asked Li Xin to inquire about it. He knew that there was a relatively quiet place across the peony field in front of him. He could bring Liu Shimei there and the two of them could spend time alone.
However, he did not expect the Liang family to come!
They were really concerned about Liu Shimei, and Liu Shimei also valued them quite a lot. It was almost impossible for her to abandon the Liang family and be lovey-dovey with him.
Sure enough, after entering the garden, Liang Yi caught up and said, “Sister, 1 think the sun will be very hot today. 1 brought you an umbrella to cover yourself.”
The umbrella was handed over. Not only did he bring an umbrella, but he also opened it and placed it on top of Liu Shimei’s head.
The man was handsome and the woman was pretty. The beautiful scene under the umbrella was not inferior to those peonies.
When Huangfu Lingyao saw this, he felt terrible!
“Thank you, Ninth Brother.” Liu Shimei pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She took it and handed it to Mo’er who was behind her. “Mo’er, take it first. It’s still early and the sun isn’t too hot. Use it later.”
Huangfu Lingyao’s heart ached even more as he glared at Liang Yi.
Liang Yi had expected this reaction from him and shot him a smug look!
She was clearly doing this on purpose to anger him! Huangfu Lingyao secretly gritted his teeth, but still maintained a smile on his face. He said to Liu Shimei, “Wife, shall we go to the pavilion over there? It’ll be cooler near the lake!”
“Alright.” How could Liu Shimei not notice the rivalry between the two of them? She was just used to it.
They were just two youths who liked to be jealous. Sometimes, when he thought about it, Liang Yi was quite childish and liked to tease the silly dog.
She probably would not say anything as long as they did not fight.
She turned around and saw Zhang Miaozhen walking not far behind Liang Sheng. She lowered her head and walked forward, thinking about something. Her eyes flashed and she said, “Miaozhen, are you coming with us?”
Zhang Miaozhen came back to her senses and looked up at them. “There are quite a lot of people. His Highness the Crown Prince will be here soon, so 1 have to go and greet him.”
The candidate for the Crown Prince Consort would definitely revolve around the Crown Prince.
She thought that Liu Shimei probably did not want to go and greet him. Moreover, his ident.i.ty was awkward. The person who was almost married had become her younger brother and sister-in-law. Liu Shimei had a new engagement, and in order to avoid suspicion, it was not appropriate for her to always meet the Crown Prince.
Therefore, she did not call Liu Shimei over.
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “That’s true. You are the candidate for the Crown Princess. Liu Yan’er won’t be able to come today. I don’t know how Yu Wanqing will do it!”
There was also the daughter of Duke An, who had not seen her since last night. She should be here by now, right?
When she said the words ‘Crown Prince Consort Candidate’, Zhang Miaozhen glanced at Liang Sheng without leaving a trace. She quickly lowered her gaze and said with her usual gentle tone, “Then I’ll go over first.”
Zhang Miaozhen’s words were appropriate and polite. She greeted everyone and turned to leave.
There was not anything wrong with her, but for some reason, Liu Shimei felt that something was wrong. She could feel it instinctively, but when she looked deeper, it seemed like there was nothing wrong.
Huangfu Lingyao held her hand and walked forward. He said to her, “Wife, let’s go see Brother Crown Prince, alright?”
Liu Shimei’s thoughts came back to her. The abnormality just now disappeared in an instant. She put her thoughts back on her young puppy and said, “Try not to go if you can.”
The group of people entered the pavilion. Liu Shimei waved her round fan and blew the warm wind. Surrounding them were their own dog and the relatives of the Liang family. The Liang family even brought tea and snacks. They were very meticulous and made people feel very comfortable.
However, just because they said they would not go did not mean that they would not be able to see the Crown Prince.. Not long after, they heard that the Crown Prince was coming over!
