A smile appeared on Long Yang's lips at those words. "I would like to eat them now."
Lu Liangwei rolled her eyes. "Let's continue picking them. I haven't been able to keep any for myself since I've given it all to them."
The pair walked around the peach orchard once more.
When they eventually called it a day and left, Chu Jiu was carrying a basket full of peaches picked by Lu Liangwei and Long Yang.
It was rare for them to leave the Palace and Lu Liangwei planned to stay a night at the imperial holiday home before returning to the Palace the following day.
Long Yang was worried about leaving her here by herself, so he decided to stay as well.
They had spent the morning picking waxberries and peaches and in the afternoon she would accompany Long Yang fishing by the lake.
It was the beginning of summer and the ice that coated the surface of the lake had already melted.
