Lu Hualiang tightened the hand around Xia Weibao's waist, quickly leaping up with the woman in his arms and swiftly retreating backward.
They landed to the side, looking at the spot where they had just kissed, which was now being pummeled by four falling peach trees.
Lu Hualiang turned his head silently, "Wife, care to explain?"
Her Majesty the Empress's small face turned as red as a peach, her eyes darting around nervously.
Looking at the sky and the ground, she dared not meet the man's gaze.
"Well... the wind was too strong, blew the peach trees down..."
Lu Hualiang, "..."
Her ability to speak nonsense with open eyes seemed to have improved more than anything else.
Back in the room, Her Majesty the Empress's face was still flushed with embarrassment, wanting to speak several times but stopping herself.
"It really wasn't me who knocked them down; it was the wind."
Lu Hualiang replied with a look that said, 'Do I look like an idiot?'
