Chapter 427: 2 SIGHTSEEING
CHAPTER 427 (2): SIGHTSEEING
When they had visited Nanzhao’s Shui Residence, they had discovered that Shui Yinglian’s mother had successfully transplanted the Lingrui flower, albeit in a small area. If Pei Qianhao could emulate her accomplishment on a grand scale like this, it wouldn’t be just Beimin’s people who would be left astonished.
“Let this Prince take you there to have a look.” Pei Qianhao held her hand as they walked to the entrance of the flower field where the guard was waiting.
The soil in the empty plot of land was being guarded, and Su Xi-er’s eyes widened when she saw it up close. “Where did you find this soil?” She understood that the soil was not native to Beimin. How much effort must have been invested into transporting so much soil?!
“There’s naturally a way, and it’s thanks to your imperial younger brother. Feng Changqing is also not bad; he’s quite knowledgeable on water quality.” A look of approval emerged in Pei Qianhao’s eyes for a moment before he led her to continue walking forward.
This time, he walked straight into the verdant woods where the howling wind was blocked by the dense grove of trees.
Su Xi-er surveyed her surroundings and realised that the trees were the type that would remain lush throughout the four seasons, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you bring me here?”
Pei Qianhao laid his hands on her shoulders and gazed deeply into her eyes. “This place is still within the capital, yet we can still retain a moment of peace amongst the bustle of the city. I know that you like to live simply. When we have grown old, we can build a few bamboo houses so that it’ll be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wouldn’t that be amazing?”
He has already planned so far ahead. Although Pei Qianhao hadn’t put everything on the table, Su Xi-er understood that Situ Lin would need a powerful minister to assist him in the future when he took the imperial throne.
Staying here allows us to enjoy life, as well as be prepared in case he’s suddenly needed in court. Su Xi-er’s eyes were full of admiration. It is Beimin’s fortune to have an official who is willing to go so far.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it? This place was specially…”
Su Xi-er pressed her finger to his lips. “I’m happy with whatever you do, and this place indeed suits my tastes. Not only can we watch the sun rise and set in the future, but we can even ride boats and fish in the nearby Merchant River.”
