"What?" Li Ruhua was suddenly caught off guard by his question. She stood there on the ground, looking utterly astonished. Immediately afterwards, an idea flashed through her mind: Huayueye must be planning to give her something!
Overwhelmed with joy, Li Ruhua quickly nodded. "I like them. I think all women in the world would like them."
"You're absolutely right," Huayueye said, dropping his eyes. A look of understanding flashed across his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened slightly.
Seeing that Huayueye stopped talking, Li Ruhua couldn't wait any longer. She took a quick step forward, about to ask something.
But Huayueye just waved his hand gently. "Alright, I still have some business to attend to. You may leave now."
"I..." Li Ruhua stood there awkwardly. She had come here to offer him some pastries, but before she could even present them, Huayueye was already dismissing her. This was so embarrassing! "Your Majesty, this is the walnut cake I made myself. Please have a taste. It's really delicious."
At this moment, Huayueye had no time to bother with this. He just waved his hand gently. "Alright, leave it there. I'll eat it later."
"Okay." Although a bit disappointed, Li Ruhua didn't dare to say much. She just nodded gently and walked out.
There was still a hint of sweetness in her heart. After all, Huayueye had just asked her what she liked. Maybe, before long, she would receive roses from him.
Li Ruhua squinted her eyes, her eyes filled with smiles. She had been looking forward to this day for so long, and it had finally come.
Sure enough, just a few days later, Li Ruhua heard that Huayueye had personally planted a large number of roses in the imperial garden. Clusters upon clusters of them were like a dazzling painting, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Let's go and take a look," Li Ruhua said with a faint smile. She thought that since this place was prepared by Huayueye for her, she would have to go there sooner or later.
"Okay," the maid beside her nodded and supported her arm. The mistress and the maid walked into the imperial garden. From afar, they could see the sea of blooming roses.
Li Ruhua opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of surprise. She had really never seen so many roses before. They were truly beautiful.
She took two steps forward, wanting to get a closer look. Unexpectedly, two ignorant guards came and blocked her way. "Hey, where did you come from? This is the rose garden personally planted by the Emperor. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
Being blocked again, Li Ruhua naturally felt extremely humiliated. She bit her lips tightly, frowned deeply, and sneered. "How do you know who this rose garden is prepared for?"
"Surely not for you?" The guard glanced at Li Ruhua. He just thought this woman was beautiful, but she wasn't the Emperor's favorite concubine. The roses here must have nothing to do with her.
"You..." Li Ruhua was so angry that she almost choked. Her delicate eyebrows were knitted into a knot.
Just then, Su Qingwen happened to walk over here. She had long heard that there was a field of roses in full bloom here, so she came to take a look. Unexpectedly, she saw this scene between Li Ruhua and the guards. She frowned and walked over.
"What's going on? Is this rose garden a restricted area? Can't we just go in casually?"
"Greetings to Concubine Xian. The Emperor said that you can enter freely," the guard said. As soon as he saw Su Qingwen coming, he immediately changed his expression. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, bending slightly to signal her to enter.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen was also stunned. She didn't know what kind of game Huayueye was playing.
"What on earth is he up to?" Su Qingwen swallowed hard. As the saying goes, when something seems abnormal, there must be something fishy going on. She had to be on her guard.
"I don't know either, Concubine Xian. If you have any doubts, it might be better to ask the Emperor directly," the man said. Then he looked behind Su Qingwen and quickly bent down.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen and Li Ruhua both turned around at the same time. They saw Huayueye walking towards them in a white robe. Huayueye was extremely good - looking, with picturesque eyebrows and a handsome and elegant demeanor. His eyes seemed to contain the star - filled sea, truly captivating. He stared intently at Su Qingwen, stepped forward, and grabbed her hand.
"What do you think you're doing?" Su Qingwen was still angry about the last incident and didn't want to pay him any attention easily.
"The roses here were all planted by me personally for you. You can't be so unappreciative, can you?" Huayueye stared straight at her, his eyes like a small flame.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen's heart skipped a beat for no reason. She couldn't help but curse in her heart. This Huayueye was truly a devil reincarnated.
Behind them, Li Ruhua was greatly shocked after hearing Huayueye's words. Her body suddenly took a step back and she almost fell to the ground, but no one noticed.
Li Ruhua's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She clenched her fists tightly, and a chill filled her heart. So, these roses were planted by Huayueye for Su Qingwen. It was really ridiculous. She had actually been so self - indulgent as to think they were for her. She had really made a huge fool of herself.
Her nails dug deeply into her palm. Li Ruhua gasped for breath, trying hard not to let the tears in her eyes fall.
When she looked up again, she saw Huayueye leading Su Qingwen into the rose garden. The backs of the two snuggling together really stabbed her eyes.
Lowering her head, Li Ruhua stood still on the ground for a while, then dragged her stiff body away. She would never let Su Qingwen go! Never!
At this time, Su Qingwen followed Huayueye into the sea of roses. Everywhere she looked, there were petals like flames, with a blazing color and a refreshing fragrance. Standing in the middle, Su Qingwen felt as if she had stepped into a fairytale world. It was impossible not to be excited.
"Qingwen, every single flower here was planted by me. Last time, it was truly my fault. I apologize to you," Huayueye said, clenching his fists. In his life, this was the first time he had ever bowed his head to a girl, and his heart was full of uneasiness.
[System: Oh my god! It's really like an iron tree blooming after a thousand years. A person like Huayueye would actually apologize to you. It's really a rare sight. Let me analyze this for you.
Huayueye's current heart rate: 100
Breathing rate: 80
Adrenaline level: 200
Overall condition: Nervous state
Truthfulness of his words: 100
Oh my god, Host. He is definitely telling the truth. You can trust him.]
The system whispered in Su Qingwen's ear.
