Chapter 5

He gnawed on a peach as he examined the terrain. The palace was silent and surrounded by bamboos trees on all four sides. Further away was the endless mountain range. There were no neighbours nor servants inside either. As expected, it was exactly as the legends said; The Emperor indeed liked to live alone.

After finishing the peach, Liu Zhenyun threw the peach core into the palace and took another one to continue gnawing. He ate three peaches in a row and did the same to all three of them.

The Emperor had been reading in the room. He did not get angry when he heard the sound of peach cores rhythmically being thrown outside the palace, and instead, went out to look at the tree. He saw a white-clothed young man squatting above and looking at him, even waving his hand merrily.

The Emperor took out a broom to sweep the peach cores and went back into the house.

Liu Zhenyun touched his chin. It was indeed as the rumours said, the Emperor was obsessed with cleanliness and did not like to concern himself with other people.

Liu Zhenyun stood up and took out 500 grams of butter melon seeds and a large sack of sesame seeds from his backpack.

Melon seeds rained outside the Emperor’s room. Not long after, sesame seeds also rained down.

This was truly something even saints couldn’t endure. Bai Shi rubbed his brows in annoyance and leapt out, then dragged Liu Zhenyun back into the palace, “Why are you making trouble here?”

Liu Zhenyun materialized a big bunch of roses and gave them to him.

“???” Bai Shi was baffled, “What are you doing?”

“Wooing you!”

That’s right. Our little Flower God intended to play straight ball[1].

[1]打算，打直球(straight ball): I googled it and was not expecting it, but basically it means for the little flower god to directly xx the emperor. But since they’re taking it slow, it can also mean to be more direct and confessing to him straight away
