Princess Qinbao felt better after knowing that the queen was released. When she got up the next day, she couldn't wait to find Wen Jinhe, but was told by Man Qiu that the princess was not awake yet.
She looked up at the sky. At this hour, the sun was already very high.
Lu Yebai returned from disaster relief in Nancheng in the north. He originally wanted to report the situation to Wen Jinhe as soon as possible, but the guards in the backyard told him that the princess was not awake yet, so he turned a corner and walked to Dr. Zhou's yard.
Princess Qinbao, who was passing by the garden, seemed to be immobilized by the Dinghai Divine Needle. She raised her feet and chased in the direction Lu Yebai left.
This back figure is him.
The maid chased him all the way, but was sent away by Princess Qinbao.
Lu Yebai heard the rapid footsteps behind him and turned around to look back.
A pink figure bumped into his arms without stopping.
Lu Yebai quickly stretched out his hand to block the person, and saw the face clearly. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took two steps back.
Princess Qinbao, who almost fell, was startled by Lu Yebai's face. Her legs softened and she held her hands on the ground to keep from falling. She hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Lu Yebai cupped his hands, turned around and left.
The familiar back and completely different face made Princess Qinbao feel bad.
Even though he wears half of the golden phoenix mask every time I see him, the exposed forehead and corners of his face are yellow-white skin, which is different from this man with a face full of birthmarks.
Hong An, who was brewing medicine in the pharmacy, saw Lu Yebai coming back and put down the wooden spoon with excitement on his face, "Brother, you are back."
Lu Yebai put his cloak on the stool, "Nancheng, after completing the tasks assigned by the princess, I rushed back with my people overnight."
Hong An brought the snacks that Dr. Zhou had placed aside to Lu Yebai, and bent down to stare at the birthmark under his neck. "The color is starting to get lighter, so I need to use more medicine."
He immediately took a small medicine bottle from the shelf, put the black pills into the bowl, added the prepared venom, and worked for half an hour before letting Lu Yebai drink it, "This time it should last for two moon."
While having lunch, Wen Jinhe noticed that Princess Qinbao was a little absent-minded, "What are you thinking about? Half of the food was eaten and half was lost."
Princess Qinbao looked down at the rice that fell on the edge of the bowl and pursed her lips, "Second sister-in-law, I just saw a man in the palace whose back looks very much like my sweetheart, but he is not. I feel so disappointed."
Wen Jinhe bit into the pepper and spit it out quickly. He drank water to swallow the pepper flavor in his mouth. Could it be that Lu Yebai was back?
After lunch, Princess Qinbao was about to go back to Xuan Yutang to take a nap, but she saw Lu Yebai coming towards the backyard and quickly turned back.
Wen Jinhe saw that Princess Qinbao, who had just resigned, was back. Did she forget something?
When she first saw Lu Yebai's figure, she couldn't help but beat her heart. With her face so ugly, how could she still be able to attract this little girl?
"Second sister-in-law, your juice is very delicious. I'll have another drink." Princess Qinbao sat down on the stool and was not ready to leave.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the princess, and to meet Her Royal Highness." Lu Yebai walked into the hall and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Wen Jinhe took a sip of the cold watermelon juice and said, "Get up."
"Princess, here are the accounts of the use of one million disaster relief funds, as well as the status of newly opened shops in the thirteen northern cities." Lu Yebai put the two accounts on the table in front of Wen Jinhe.
Princess Qinbao looked at Wen Jinhe and moved her mouth. Everything she looked at was related to Lu Yebai.
Wen Jinhe opened the top ledger and checked the use of the disaster relief food. "Have the local government cooperated? Have there been any riots or fights among the people?"
Lu Yebai replied: "The local magistrate sent officials to guard the porridge shed to maintain order. When we arrived, the disaster had not yet reached its peak. Although a few people fought, they were quickly suppressed by the local government and no harm was caused. casualties."
Wen Jinhe nodded with satisfaction. This matter was considered a great success. "It's been a hard time going out. You go back and rest for two days. I'll ask He Shi to find you in a few days."
Lu Yebai cupped his hands and turned to leave, without even looking at Princess Qinbao during the entire conversation.
After the others disappeared into the backyard, Wen Jinhe discovered that the glass of watermelon juice in Princess Qinbao's hand had not shrunk at all. It was just a pretentious song pressed against the rim of the glass.
Princess Qinbao pretended not to care and asked, "Second sister-in-law, are those the guards sent to you by my second brother?"
"How come I haven't seen it before?"
Wen Jinhe sighed silently in her heart. It's not that she didn't want to be the matchmaker.
It's just that the identities of these two people are really not suitable.
If Li Jingxing dies and Li Junche becomes emperor, Lu Yebai can be given a false identity and a marriage.
It's just that Lu Yebai doesn't seem to be interested in Princess Qinbao, and if she abandons her ancestors and changes her identity, she will definitely not agree to it.
"No, he is a servant who helps me deal with my private property. He worked in a shop and workshop before. When there was a drought in the north, I sent him to Nancheng to develop business. Later he handled disaster relief matters, so you haven't seen him."
"Oh~" Princess Qinbao's eyes were a little disappointed, not to mention that.
The palace banquet was held on the second day.
Li Junche accompanied Wen Jinhe in the carriage, and Princess Qinbao went to Changle Palace in advance to find the queen.
Palace entrance.
"Brother Junche, long time no see." Lu Zhixi looked at Li Junche with a faint smile on her face.
Li Junche reached out and took Wen Jinhe's hand and led him out of the carriage, "You came back with Aunt Huang?"
Lu Zhixi's expression became a little sad, "I haven't returned to the capital for three years to pay homage to my parents, so it's time to come back and visit."
Wen Jinhe finally understood where Princess Qinbao's inappropriate attitude, Lu Zhixi's hostility, and Princess Changping's inexplicable displeasure came from.
The peach tree branched, and the branch came so quickly.
Li Junche took Wen Jinhe's hand and walked to the Jiaotai Hall where the banquet was held, and Lu Zhixi followed him all the way.
Wen Jinhe remained silent. She could feel that Li Junche's attitude towards Lu Zhixi was different from that towards other unrelated women.
They are very familiar.
Li Junche noticed that Wen Jinhe couldn't keep up, so he stopped and turned to look at her, "Are you tired?"
Wen Jinhe stared into Li Junche's eyes, remembering what Master Mingyuan said, and felt a little aggrieved for no reason, "I'm not tired, it's just that you walked too fast."
Li Junche was stunned for a moment, put his hand on Wen Jinhe's shoulder, leaned against him, and said softly: "I'm sorry, let's walk slower."
Lu Zhixi, who was standing aside, had her eyes fixed, full of jealousy, and looked away from Wen Jinhe's face.
After arriving at Jiaotai Hall, Wen Jinhe discovered that Lu Zhixi's position was actually next to them.
When Li Junche was about to sit down, Wen Jinhe pulled him aside.
The two of them changed positions, becoming Wen Jinhe and Lu Zhixi next to each other.
Li Junche raised his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, finally realizing why his princess was unhappy all the way.
