After spring began, myriad flowers blossomed in the imperial garden, their fragrance drifting everywhere.
Princess Consort Shun brought Dugu Xiaojin to the Imperial Palace and upon hearing about the Yangxin Pavilion by the Empress Dowager Lake, she took Dugu Xiaojin to the imperial garden.
As they were walking through the courtyard, a bullet suddenly flew from a hidden spot.
Dugu Xiaojin appeared indifferent, not bothering to dodge; he knew that dodging would only lead to more teasing.
When the bullet hit Dugu Xiaojin, a series of giggling laughter could be heard, and then Dongfang Xiu, donning a peach-red palace dress with two little braids, sprang out from the throng of flowers, followed by a nanny and two or three second-class palace maids.
Seeing Dugu Xiaojin's forehead turning slightly red from the hit, and his reluctance even to rub it, those palace maids all suppressed their smiles.
