On May 20th.
Early in the morning, Feng Yunshu got up before dawn. She tiptoed over Helan Yanting, who was sleeping beside her. But accidentally, she pressed her hand on his leg.
“Ouch...” Helan Yanting woke up with a jolt, sucking in a breath of cold air. Hearing the noise, Feng Yunshu quickly turned to look at him. Only when she was sure that he was still half - asleep did she heave a sigh of relief and continued to slip out of the bed.
After Feng Yunshu got out of the bed and turned to leave, Helan Yanting opened his eyes a crack. Watching his beloved wife sneak out of the room quietly, he looked thoughtful.
After slipping out of the room, Feng Yunshu immediately found Ziyuan and Xiaoling. “Ziyuan, Xiaoling, have you prepared everything I asked you to?”
Xiaoling and Ziyuan nodded quickly. “Yes, everything is ready.”
“Good. I'll go and check how the decoration is going.”
Saying so, Feng Yunshu walked to the yard on the other side of the mansion. When she entered, she saw bright red roses on both sides. In the middle of the flower bushes, there was a platform made of crystal.
The platform was semi - enclosed, with some twinkling night pearls and jewels hanging from the top. Since it was made of transparent crystal, one could clearly see the sky when looking up.
Feng Yunshu stepped forward to check it out in advance. After making sure that everything was well - arranged, she sighed in relief and then quietly slipped back into the room.
Just as she was about to climb onto the bed, Helan Yanting suddenly pulled her into his arms, which gave her a big scare.
“Your Highness, you're awake?!”
“My lady, it's still not dawn. Why aren't you sleeping? Where are you going?”
“Um... I... I had to go to the toilet.”
“I see. It's still early. Let's sleep a bit more, my lady.”
Helan Yanting turned over and placed her on the inner side of the bed. Then he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
“Your Highness, I'm sleepy! Go to sleep quickly!”
“But I'm not that sleepy anymore. My lady, how about we do some exercise?”
Feng Yunshu seemed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. She weakly tugged at the quilt. “Rogue! Lecher!”
“My lady, you're wrong. I'm just fond of you...”
“Um... Ouch... Be gentle... It hurts...”
After the couple's intimate moment, Feng Yunshu was so sore that she felt like crying. Helan Yanting carried her in his arms to take a bath.
...
After getting up.
Seeing Helan Yanting about to go out, Feng Yunshu asked, “Your Highness, where are you going?”
“I have some matters to attend to.”
“Still have to deal with them today?” Feng Yunshu snorted discontentedly.
Helan Yanting looked at her in confusion. “My lady, what do you mean? Is today a special day?”
Feng Yunshu's face was so dark that it seemed like it was about to rain. “No, it's nothing special. Go ahead.”
After saying that, she dived back into the quilt, turning her back to Helan Yanting. She didn't want to see this heartless man!
She thought Helan Yanting would continue to ask her, but unexpectedly, he really just left, leaving her alone. Feng Yunshu was extremely angry!
“Heartless man! I got up early to prepare a surprise for you, but you didn't prepare anything at all!”
For the whole day, the entire mansion seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud. Xiaoling and Ziyuan felt it most acutely.
“Sister Ziyuan, what's wrong with our mistress? She seems so angry, as if she's about to explode!”
Ziyuan shook her head. “I don't know. But I guess it's mostly related to the prince...”
“The prince? What's the relationship?”
“It's such a special day today, and the prince didn't show any gesture. The young mistress must be very angry!”
“Special day? Why is it special?”
“May 20th. It sounds like 'I love you' in Chinese. Isn't it like Valentine's Day?”
Just as Ziyuan finished speaking, Yan Qi called her over. “Ziyuan, are you free today? I'd like to invite you out for a walk.”
Then, a bunch of bright flowers was stuffed into Ziyuan's hand. Both of their faces blushed a bit.
“I have to tell the young mistress first.”
When Ziyuan appeared in front of Feng Yunshu with a bunch of flowers in her arms and said that she wanted to ask for leave to go on a date with Yan Qi, Feng Yunshu's face almost fell to the ground. But she still forced a smile and blessed them. “It's okay. Have a good time with Yan Qi, and be happy...”
“Mistress, are you okay?”
“What could be wrong with me? I'm fine...”
“But mistress, you look like you're about to cry.”
“It's nothing. The wind is too strong and it got into my eyes. Go quickly!”
Watching Ziyuan and Yan Qi walking away hand in hand and thinking of Helan Yanting who was still immersed in official business, Feng Yunshu almost wrung her handkerchief to pieces.
“Heartless man! Since you've forgotten, there's no need for me to prepare a surprise. Humph!”
Just as she finished speaking, the “culprit” returned to the mansion.
“My lady, what's wrong? You seem unhappy. Who made you angry?”
Hearing his voice, Feng Yunshu felt even more annoyed. She turned around, about to scold him, when suddenly a very special bouquet was thrust into her face.
Feng Yunshu was stunned for a moment, looking at this special bouquet.
Half of the bouquet was made up of banknotes and land deeds rolled into the shape of flowers, and the other half was filled with various precious pills. The strong smell of the banknotes mixed with the scent of the precious pills made Feng Yunshu feel like she was about to ascend to the heavens.
“Your Highness, this...”
“Silly girl. Do you really think I've forgotten? You'll always be the pearl in my palm and the dearest love in my heart.”
Helan Yanting's serious expression, gentle words, and affectionate eyes instantly hit the softest part of Feng Yunshu's heart. She was deeply touched. “Your Highness, you're so good!”
As the sky gradually darkened and the moon rose, Feng Yunshu looked at Helan Yanting excitedly.
“Your Highness, I also have a gift for you! Come with me!”
Saying so, Feng Yunshu took Helan Yanting's hand and led him to the decorated yard.
“My lady, this is...” Helan Yanting looked at the scene in front of him, a bit confused.
“Come with me.” Feng Yunshu led Helan Yanting to the crystal platform in the middle. Then she began to release her spiritual power, gathering the bright moonlight in the air little by little into her hands. Just like before, it surrounded her body, and then gradually surrounded the whole platform along her hands.
“Your Highness, you'd better watch closely.”
As the moonlight on the platform gathered, vivid and clear scenes began to appear in front of Helan Yanting's eyes. There were the scenes of their first wedding ceremony, the little details of their life in the mansion, the moments they spent together in the military camp, and the scene of their second wedding...
Helan Yanting watched these scenes bit by bit, and gradually his eyes were wet with tears. He tightly held Feng Yunshu's hand.
After the scenes disappeared, Feng Yunshu noticed the faint tears in his eyes.
“Don't cry, Your Highness. Do you not like it? If you don't like it, we won't watch it...”
“Fool. I like it. I like it very much. I like every little moment between us and I like the unique you in this world.”
Helan Yanting hugged Feng Yunshu tightly in his arms.
Just then, “Bang!” Fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Feng Yunshu was extremely surprised. She turned around and looked up at the night sky.
“Your Highness, look! The fireworks are so beautiful!”
As she watched, Feng Yunshu found that these fireworks in the night sky gathered into the outline of a woman. The more she looked, the more the woman seemed to look like herself.
“Your Highness, this...” Feng Yunshu realized something and stared at Helan Yanting with wide eyes.
What she saw was Helan Yanting's gentle and affectionate smile. “This is the fireworks I prepared for you.”
