The gentle spring breeze brushes through, and the plum blossoms in the I have quietly bloomed, with petals drifting in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance.
Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan sit in the imperial garden, surrounded by blooming plum blossoms, both wearing gentle smiles on their faces. Chao Qinglan softly says to Xiao Yan, "Your Majesty, this spring is exceptionally beautiful, as if celebrating the arrival of our upcoming freshman."
Xiao Yan nodded, his eyes warm and determined: "Yes, Qinglan. I will do everything in my power to give Shu Yi and the child the best. The future of Liang Kindom will also be brighter because of this child."
However, beneath this joy, Li Shu-yi had her own concerns. In her spacious and elegant palace, she sat quietly by the window, gazing at the distant scenery.
Her heart is filled with complex emotions: as a future mother, she is full of anticipation for the arrival of the freshman, but at the same time, she also feels fear about the child being born and leaving her side.
Chao Qinglan walked into the room and saw Li Shu-yi's melancholy, so she gently sat beside her and softly asked, "What are you worried about, my Shu Yi sister?"
Li Shu-yi sighed lightly, turned around, and with a hint of unease in her eyes, said, "Your Majesty, I... I am just a little afraid. I am worried that I am not cut out to be a good mother, and I am anxious about the impending childbirth..."
Chao Qinglan reached out and tightly held Li Shu-yi's hand, " Shu Yi, you are such a strong and beautiful woman, you will surely be an excellent mother."
"For childbirth, it is a test that every mother must go through, so you don't have to worry too much. We will all be by your side, supporting you and protecting you."
To help Li Shu-yi reduce stress, Chao Qinglan specially arranged some books and activities related to Li Shu-yi's state of mind, such as painting, calligraphy, and flower arranging, so that she can find spiritual comfort and relaxation in the world of art.
She also invited the musicians from the palace to play gentle music for Li Shu-yi, using the power of music to ease her tension.
One day, Chao Qinglan took a leisurely stroll with Li Shu-yi in the imperial garden. The warm spring sun filtered through the soft clouds, casting a warm and tranquil feeling upon the two of them.
Chao Qinglan pointed to the blooming peonies ahead and said with a smile, "Look, Shu Yi sister, these peonies are so bright and beautiful, full of vitality. Don't they resemble the power and beauty of freshman life?"
Li Shu-yi was touched by these words. She looked at the beautiful flowers, and her inner unease was gradually replaced by an inexplicable force. She softly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant understands. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we hold hope in our hearts, we can welcome the miracles of life."
During this time, Xiao Yan also did not forget to care for Li Shu-yi's physical and mental health. He often found time to accompany Li Shu-yi amidst his busy schedule, reading together with her, or sharing their thoughts and insights with each other.
Xiao Yan's companionship and understanding gave Li Shu-yi tremendous support and courage.
In the palace garden, the spring is in full swing, with all kinds of flowers in full bloom and their fragrance filling the air. Chao Qinglan deliberately chose such a beautiful afternoon and arranged the studio in the garden, allowing Li Shu-yi to paint surrounded by the beauty of nature and experience the healing power of the natural world.
The painter is an elderly man with white hair, but his eyes reveal a bright light full of wisdom. He not only teaches Li Shu-yi how to depict the form of plum blossoms, but more importantly, he teaches her how to express her emotions and state of mind through the brush.
The old painter gently says, "Painting is not just a skill, but also a bridge for the dialogue between the soul and nature. Let your heart dance with the tip of the brush, turning the joys and sorrows of your inner self into ink marks flowing on the paper."
As time passed, Li Shu-yi gradually immersed herself in painting. Her brushstrokes became more and more confident, and the plum blossoms in her paintings seemed to come to life, as if they were about to bloom from the paper.
Chao Qinglan stood by quietly watching, and seeing Li Shu-yi so engrossed, a satisfied and gratified smile appeared on her face.
Outside the studio, Xiao Yan quietly approached and, upon seeing the scene, couldn't help but stop in his tracks. He witnessed Li Shu-yi's transformation from initial nervousness to complete concentration on the canvas, and he was filled with emotion.
Xiao Yan walked into the studio and praised, " Shu Yi, your artwork is truly impressive. Under your brush, the plum blossoms seem to come to life."
Li Shu-yi was slightly surprised to hear Xiao Yan's voice, then turned around and revealed a long-lost smile: "Your Majesty, it is you who gave me the courage and inspiration to find myself in the painting."
In the studio, the three of them sat together, with the sunlight streaming in through the window, casting a warm and gentle glow on each of their faces. Chao Qinglan lightly opened her red lips and said to Li Shu-yi: "Sister Shu Yi, no matter what the future holds, remember that we will always be your strongest support. On the path of art, we will accompany you forward together."
On this warm and peaceful afternoon, Li Shu-yi found inner peace and strength through the healing power of art.
On another day, Xiao Yan deliberately made time to accompany Li Shu-yi for a walk in the Imperial Garden. The two of them enjoyed the various plants in the garden and chatted about light topics.
Xiao Yan noticed that Li Shu-yi was particularly interested in a blooming peony, so he detailed the varieties and flower language of the peony, as well as its important position in Liang Kindom culture.
" Shu Yi, do you know? Peonies represent wealth and prosperity, as well as symbolizing a beautiful and happy life. I hope our child can grow up healthy and have a bright future, just like this peony," Xiao Yan said softly.
As Xiao Yan spoke, the scenery in the imperial garden seemed to come to life. Li Shu-yi was captivated by the splendor of the peony, and her heart was stirred. The vivid and magnificent peony not only touched her visually but also deeply resonated with her soul, as if telling her that even in the face of life's difficulties and challenges, one can still shine as brilliantly as this peony.
Xiao Yan looked at Li Shu-yi immersed in her thoughts, gently took her hand, and led her to continue walking in the garden. The two of them passed through a bamboo grove, where a gentle breeze swayed the bamboo leaves, creating a harmonious sound like an ancient zither. Xiao Yan stopped and pointed to the depths of the bamboo grove, saying softly, " Shu Yi, look at this bamboo. Even in the cold winter, it remains resilient and upright, and in the coming spring, it is full of vitality. It symbolizes resilience and integrity, just like the faith I hold for our future."
Li Shu-yi listened quietly, then turned to Xiao Yan with a sincere expression of admiration and love in her eyes, saying, "Your Majesty, being able to walk through the journey of life with you and feel your wisdom and determination is the greatest happiness of this humble servant's life."
The two of them exchanged a smile, and in that moment, their hearts reached a deeper level of understanding and connection. They continued on their journey, each step treading on the path of a hopeful future.
