Lotus leaves stretching to the sky in endless green, lotus blossoms reflecting the sun in a unique shade of red.
A dozen or so carriages traveled in a long procession, driving ahead on the path beside the lotus pond.
A maidservant dressed in an emerald-green Luo skirt plucked a protruding lotus bloom from the pondside and offered it like a treasure to someone inside the carriage.
"Miss, flowers are bestowed upon the fair." Cong Ge handed the lotus through the window.
Yan Wanqing reached out to take it, "Flatterer."
It had been ten days since they left the Capital City, heading towards the Northern Border, taking each day as it came. During this time, Cong Ge spent her days with Xiaoliu, her mood becoming livelier with each passing day.
Not to mention,
having left the Capital City, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
They all became much more carefree and relaxed.
