Li-lian looked up to see who was daring enough to hug her and not say who they were. As soon as li-lian looked up she felt soft plump lips brush against her dahlia colored lips, she blushed as her eyes widened from being surprised,Their eyes locked for what seemed to be forever.
His majesty's main eunuch announced his majesty and her majesty's visit.
Li-Lian couldn't move and wanted nothing more than to gasp, for some reason her body wouldn't move.
"What was that?! Was I put into a trance?!" Lian thought as she was touching her bottom lip as she just realized that there was a cut because of the kissed she had just shared with yang yang
Yang yang had to stop himself before he would get out of control and wouldn't have been able to stop himself that was the only reason he stopped himself and not because of the emperor and empress yang yang couldn't have cared if the emperor and the empress saw him taking control of what he claimed to be his
"Father, Mother," Li-lian said as she was bowing to her mother and father
"Aiyaa you don't have to do the etiquettes my precious daughter, that ignorant older sister that you have, Aiyaaa nevermind that don't worry I have already punished her for her mistake!" The emperor said as he was holding lian's hand while rubbing his other hand on top of her hand
When he saw that his daughter looked' flustered and staring off into space, The emperor thought that she was still mad at him for not letting lian get her revenge on her older sister
"Aiyaa are you still angry how about I build your own flower place huh??" The emperor said while pinching lian's cheek to see if she was listening
"I'm not angry father, Thank you for the suggestion I would love to have my own greenhouse! Also, father, could I make the outlines for the greenhouse since it'll be mine?" Li-lian asked while hoping that her father won't say no and ask her why
"Hmmm, This father says yes but, why?"The emperor asked while seeing what Lian was going to say Li-lian looked up to see who was daring enough to hug her and not say who they were.
"Nothing I just thought it would be fun designing my own greenhouse," Lian said while praising herself for coming up with the excuse
"Ok, then I have no objections to it," The emperor said while asking himself why her cheeks were still blushing. He thought that she may be sick.
Both Yang-Yang and Li-Lian bowed while her father, the emperor, walked off into the distance with the empress. As they climbed into their palanquin, the emperor was being fed fruit by the empress. The emperor was fanning his empress face, so she didn't get burned from the afternoon sun.
Inside, Yang-yang and Li-lian just stared at each other until Mo-chou brought in a snack tray for Li-Lian, while she read the books she asked for. Around this time in the afternoon Li-lian lounges around to do random things she wants to finish before the end of the week.
"You like to read these types of books?" Yang-yang asked as his index finger tapped the cover of the book.
"Just for now, I need the information in the book, it'll be easier to read than the other thing." Li-lian said as she turned the page.
"And this will suffice? I think the second thing might be easier." Yang-yang said with a smirk.
"It will for me, but what are you still doing here?" Li-lian asked. Yang-yang laughed as he understood her question.
"I'll stay until your walk is done. I'll be having dinner with your cousin Bo." Yang-yang said with a smile.
"You're telling me you enjoy my cousin's company? Besides my father, he doesn't socialize himself with anyone else in my family" Li-lian said as she placed her book down to snack on litchees, purple grapes, and a exotic fruit that her dads army brought back after searching the Butterflies forest to control the demons that like to stay there since it's easier for demons to cultivate.
"Well, I guess I don't fit into the rule of your cousins, since he likes my company and I like his." Yang-yang said while grabbing a lychee and popping it into his mouth.
"Hmm" Li-Lian said as Mo-chou helped put her outer coat on to combat the chilly winds, while on their walk.
"Hmm, indeed" Yand Yang said as his finger slipped over Li-lian's nose, he smiled.
"Enjoy your walk, your highness." Yang-yang bowed and continued to make his way towards Bo's house to have dinner and drinks. His face was pure excitement while walking over to enjoy his favorite rice wine.
"There's something off about him"Li-lian said as she held Mo-chou's hand while they made their way to walk their route, the doctor told Li-lian to rest but every once in a while to get some exercise walking as she felt better.
"Your highness, do you have any plans for this greenhouse that you're trying to build?" Mo-chou asked while locking arms with Li-lian.
"Yes, to grow plants and garden" Li-lian said while stopping and picking a white rose from among her many bushes she has throughout her courtyard.
"Is that really all? I'm worried about your health and safety." she said while looking at her mistress as she was picking the white rose from the rose bush.
"Let's continue our walk, Mo-chou." Li-lian said while walking along the path to her favorite place to sit and enjoy the night or morning air, it was a gazebo covered in purple wisteria. Her father brought her the purple wisteria from one of his trips to another state to discuss a treaty.
"Are you going to be staying here for a little while? If so, I will go and prepare a light snack while you enjoy your book time." Mo-chou said as she helped Li-lian sit down underneath the gazebo.
"Thank you, I would rather you join me. You can let another maid handle the snacks." Li-lian said as she straightened out her ivory colored dress with a blue lotus sewed into the bottom right to the side to make room for her to sit down.
"It's okay, I'll make your snacks myself. After the last time I can't let no one take care of you besides me." Mo-chou said as she smiled and walked off towards the kitchen.
