The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

That night, Su Qianqian stayed in the backyard of Gu's Tea House in the capital.

The backyard was very elegantly maintained by Xu Ruoxian and her friends.

It has everything: artificial hills, pavilions, and towers.

Xu Ruoxian knew that Su Dongjia liked swings, so she specially had one made.

The swing frame is made of boat wood, which won't be damaged by rain.

After dinner, Su Qianqian sat on the swing and closed her eyes to rest when suddenly someone covered her eyes from behind.

"I'm back." The voice was clear and gentle.

It's Gong Yu.

Su Qianqian stood up happily and looked Gong Yu up and down.

He's neither fat nor thin, and still as handsome as ever, so beautiful that it's impossible to look away.

After being transported to this place, she has been taking good care of her family.

My parents, older brother, and younger brother are all too naive and need someone to protect them.

She protected her family, and Gong Yu protected her.

In both lifetimes combined, Gong Yu was the only one who protected her.

"Young Master Gong, Master Tianyuan is truly amazing. He said you would return to the capital within three days, and it turns out it's true."

"No matter how powerful Master Tianyuan is, he's not as powerful as my girl. I heard he doesn't dare to calculate my girl's fate."

After returning to the capital, Gong Yu specially changed into a white outfit, just because Su Qianqian said he looked good in white.

The two embraced tightly.

Gong Yu couldn't wait to express his longing, "Girl, every night I'm in the Northern Frontier, I think of you. I think of you when I'm facing the vast snow, when I'm facing the moon, when I'm facing the cold wind, and even when I'm dreaming about you... I think of you every moment."

He had lived for twenty-two years, and this was the first time he had ever fallen in love with a woman.

Every day at the border was tormented by longing.

"The snow in the northern frontier has begun to melt, and the northern barbarians are busy herding their livestock, so the northern frontier is temporarily at peace, and that's why I've returned."

"From now on, we'll never be apart again."

Xiangming dragged the dull-witted Mo Xiaobei away quietly, backing up to the side of the small door.

Hehe, who would have thought that their aloof and taciturn master would turn into a chatterbox every time he sees Miss Su?

Mo Xiaobei's hand was held tightly by Xiangming, and her face turned bright red, as red as a boiled shrimp.

"Xiangming, why are you pulling me like this? The young master is here, and I have a lot to report to him."

Xiangming slapped Mo Xiaobei on the head. "Are you stupid? The young master hasn't seen the young lady in a long time. He must have a lot to say to her. Do you think the young master wants to hear from you or from Miss Su?"

Mo Xiaobei thought for a moment with her not-so-bright brain and realized that the young master definitely wanted to hear what Miss Su had to say.

Then let's wait until the young master and the young lady have finished catching up before reporting on our work.

Vivian Hsu also lived in the backyard of the teahouse. She originally wanted to say something to her sister Su, but instead she witnessed a scene that made her blush.

Sister Su was being held tightly in Prince Gong's arms.

Vivian Hsu quickly covered her eyes and retreated back into the house.

After a while, Xu Ruoxian quietly lifted a crack in the curtain and peeked out. She saw that Sister Su had sat back on the swing, and the Prince Gong was massaging Sister Su's shoulders.

Her movements were gentle and ingratiating.

The lantern's light shone on the two of them, casting a beautiful halo around them.

Prince Gong and Sister Su are such a perfect match! Prince Gong is indeed as legendary as they say, breathtakingly beautiful.

Vivian Hsu was actually a little surprised by the way the two got along.

It is said that men are the sky for women. Every young lady from a prominent family in the Great Qi Dynasty had to read the "Admonitions for Women" from a young age. It said that men are superior to women, the husband is the head of the household, and women must absolutely obey men.

Although Vivian Hsu's parents were very loving, it was always her mother who served her father, and she never saw her father lower himself to serve her mother.

However, judging from the way Sister Su and Prince Gong get along, it's clear that Sister Su is the one in charge, while Prince Gong seems like a virtuous little wife who listens to Sister Su in everything.

About an incense stick's time later, Shadow Eleven arrived with his men carrying two large boxes.

"Knowing you love pretty things, these are some treasures I had someone find for you. I hope you like them."

All the effort is worthwhile if it can make the beauty smile.

Xiangming walked over, carrying a bright yellow lantern in each hand, illuminating the contents of the box.

The first box was full of ivory carvings, including pen holders, fans, and carvings of flowers, birds, and auspicious animals.

In the world before the time travel, ivory was a contraband, but fortunately it's not a contraband here in the Great Qi Dynasty, so it can be enjoyed and played with.

Su Qianqian picked up the ivory comb; it was smooth and oily, and felt slightly cool to the touch.

The second box contained colorful jade stones that Gong Yu had collected from various places, which were exactly what Su Qianqian liked.

Ying Shiyi and Xiang Ming were both very perceptive people. After the things were carried into the house, the two of them disappeared immediately.

Su Qianqian had already taken a shower, and her hair was loose.

Gong Yu took the ivory comb and gently helped comb her long hair.

I could only feel that her long, dark hair was as smooth as satin.

Su Qianqian felt that being with Gong Yu was the most relaxing time.

When Gong Yutong was in Qinghe County, he would send her rare treasures almost every day, and he was very good at creating surprises and romance.

It's said that rich men aren't good-looking, and good-looking men aren't romantic.

A man who is rich, good-looking, intelligent, and romantic is as hard to find as a needle in a haystack.

But he was actually standing in front of her.

"Gong Yu, thank you."

Gong Yu leaned down and whispered in Su Qianqian's ear in a hoarse voice, "Call me brother."

Lady Guiping, the wife of the Marquis, came to deliver some snacks to her future daughter-in-law, but unexpectedly, she met her own son instead.

Her own son was whispering in Miss Su's ear, and they seemed to be getting along very well.

The boy had returned from the northern frontier and hadn't been back to the Marquis's residence yet, so she didn't even know her son had come back.

Now that she sees her son safe and sound, the mother is relieved.

Lady Hou felt that she had come at a very inopportune time. "Well, Miss Su, please don't mind. If we both fell into the water, my son would definitely save you first."

He then turned to his son and said, "Son, your father and I don't miss you at all. Stay here tonight. The scenery is quite nice tonight, and the moon is very round."

Gong Yu was speechless at his own mother's antics. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, where is the moon?

How much this mother wanted to give him away as a gift!

Su Qianqian quickly stood up from the swing, took a chair and placed it next to Madam Hou. "Please sit down, Madam."

"I remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now. See you tomorrow, daughter-in-law."

After Lady Guiping finished speaking, she led her servants out of the courtyard, jumped into the carriage, and fled.

The carriage sped along as if a monster were chasing it.

"Let's go set up a flower shed by the Bibo Lake."

On the Flower Festival on the third day of the third lunar month, many wealthy and powerful families would set up flower pavilions in advance by Bibo Lake outside the capital, and come to the lake to enjoy the spring and cleanse themselves of worldly troubles on the day of the Flower Festival.

Some families built four-cornered flower sheds, some built six-cornered flower sheds, and some built eight-cornered flower sheds.

The octagonal flower shed is the largest and most impressive.

Wealthy families would decorate their flower sheds with fresh flowers and colorful silks. On the Flower Festival, the flower sheds along the lake would compete for beauty, creating a unique scene.

The most beautiful flower shed is selected every year.

There is no prize for first place, but wealthy families are willing to spend a lot of money for it, just to bring good luck.

The flower shed is usually set up a day in advance.

Wealthy families usually have their servants build the flower sheds, but the Marquis of Guiping wanted his flower shed to be the most beautiful this year, so the Marquis of Guiping personally led people to work on it by the lake for two days.

He built it up and then took it down, then built it up again, but he was never satisfied and felt he wasn't good enough for his future daughter-in-law.

When Lady Hou arrived, she looked around and felt dissatisfied as well.

"Only the most beautiful flower shed is worthy of our future daughter-in-law."

Lady Hou had never cared about the Flower Festival before and never put any effort into the flower shed.

But this year is different. This year she has a daughter-in-law, and she must compete for the title of the most beautiful flower shed and make sure her daughter-in-law spends the Flower Festival in the most beautiful flower shed.

"Steward Zhang, have someone go back to the manor to fetch some things. Go to my storeroom and bring over those bolts of tobacco silk to decorate the flower shed."

"Yes, madam."

Manager Zhang was very surprised.

Those silk threads were sent by the lady's family. They usually wouldn't even take them out to make clothes, but now they're being used to decorate the flower shed.

The smoked gauze is woven from the dazzling colored silk spun by the seven-colored silkworms, and its colors are dreamlike and ethereal.

The seven-colored silkworm is very difficult to raise. Although the lady's family is a renowned silk merchant family that is famous in four countries, they can only weave half a bolt of silk in a year.

So those few bolts of smoky yarn were woven from silk that had been stored for several years.

It was extremely precious, but the lady casually used it to decorate the flower shed, just to make the young mistress happy.

The lady is really good to the future young mistress.
