Fourth Master sighed, "You always have your crooked logic."
Ye Zao snorted, "Come take a walk in the garden with me."
Fourth Master shook his head and stood up, "Noble Consort wishes to take a walk in the garden, that is the garden's honor. I shall wait while Lady changes clothes."
Ye Zao burst out laughing, "When His Majesty says such things, it doesn't seem right. He's full of imperial majesty; even when he pretends to be humble, it's not convincing."
With that, Ye Zao gave Fourth Master a loud kiss and then got up to change her clothes.
It was already late February, and the garden was worth seeing.
With the servants' careful tending, this season might not boast abundant blossoms, but it certainly offers a picturesque view.
The skill of the palace servants lies in ensuring that as long as it's not winter, there's always life in the Imperial Garden.
Otherwise, if His Majesty wants to admire the flowers and you say they won't blossom, wouldn't that be foolish?
