“As far as I know, Mrs. Yuan accompanied Mr. Yuan went to the capital to report on his duties, then visited her father, Prince Huai. She was supposed to come back in time to give birth. But an unexpected event occurred in the middle of the journey, and their journey was delayed for more than a month in the middle of the course.

Then the baby was delivered ahead of schedule, and this led to her giving birth while she was on the journey. But I heard that it was fortunate that she was able to meet a noble person, so the mother and child were safe.” Yun Shi said.

Then Yun Shi said, “But these are not important. We just need to remember that Mrs. Yuan’s body is still weak and cannot withstand the cold and fright. We need to be careful.”

“Yes, daughter knows.”

Wei Qingwan was usually soft-spoken, so Yun Shi was relieved.

On the contrary, it was Wei Ruo who acted a bit recklessly, which made people worry that she might have some inappropriate behavior.

But at this point, Yun Shi’s worries were useless, and she could only wait and see what happens.

After a cup of tea, the three of them arrived at Tianqin Garden on time.

This was the courtyard of the Prefectural Magistrate’s residence, and also the garden ordered by Prince Huai to be built for his daughter, Princess Jingmin. Therefore, in terms of regulations, it was larger and more luxurious than the Prefectural Magistrate’s main residence.

However, the Wei family was born in the Bo Zhongyi mansion after all, and they had seen this scene before, so they were not timid.

Yun Shi glanced specifically at Wei Ruo who was following behind, and saw that she also had a normal expression and had not shown any timidity, so she felt a little relieved.

Wei Qingwan also subconsciously glanced at Wei Ruo.

She was a little disappointed that she didn’t see her timidity.

Although Wei Ruo was dressed simply today, she was very eye-catching.

If she was timid, no matter how much she dressed up, it would be useless. But she was calm and confident, so it outshined her.

Entering the garden, you could see flowers and plants of different heights and in order. In the garden, there was a pond full of lotus flowers. This season’s lotus had withered, although there were still a few withered lotus pods swaying slightly in the wind. Whilst it was not glamorous, it had a unique charm.

A few raised mandarin ducks are playing on the water, and various colors of koi, such as gold, red, and black, could be seen in the water.

At this time of the year, the most attractive and blooming flowers were the osmanthus and chrysanthemums.

Especially the osmanthus; golden, orange, and light yellow, one by one, exuding a fragrant aroma.

As soon as they entered the garden, they were surrounded by the fragrance of osmanthus.

It was believed that the Prefectural Magistrate’s wife was very fond of osmanthus, which was why she planted so many osmanthus flowers in the garden, and even scheduled the garden party at this time of year.

When Wei Ruo came in, there were already many people in the park who seemed to be familiar with each other. Most of them were from the capital, chatting with each other.

The two and Yun Shi, who had just arrived, had no one to talk to and stood awkwardly on the side.

Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan looked a little uneasy. Only Wei Ruo was admiring the flowers beside her as if nothing had happened, and didn’t care about what others were talking about.

On this day, there were a wide variety of flowers in the Qinyuan garden, many of which were rare. Just the corner on her right hand there were a variety of precious camellias, but unfortunately, it was not a good season to appreciate camellias now, otherwise this corner would surely look dazzling and gorgeous.

Further ahead was an area for roses, with single season roses usually blooming in spring and summer, and also in autumn, if they bloom in multiple seasons. However, due to the low temperature this year, it was estimated that they would not bloom, so these roses only had green leaves and no flower buds.

Wei Ruo walked and looked around, and came to the lotus pond.
