Chapter 1779 Dai Xu's Gift
Chapter 1779 Dai Xu's Gift
While Yin Changxing was drinking and talking with Zong Bie, Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue returned to the Prince of Jin's residence.
Along the way, Lu Zhaoling felt increasingly uneasy.
"How can Master be so patient?" She jumped off the carriage and turned to look at Zhou Shiyue, who had followed her down. "He discovered a lot of clues in the palace, but he didn't tell me immediately."
"Now that he's gone to find Zong Bie and Xiao Sheng, he must have discovered something related to them in the palace, and he didn't even tell me!"
Master is really good at keeping his composure.
"You're so resentful now, it's because you feel you're losing face, isn't it?" Zhou Shiyue exposed her, not saying that her master was calm, "It's because you didn't discover what your master discovered..."
"laugh."
Lu Zhaoling turned and left.
Don't you care about saving face?
It's so direct.
Zhou Shiyue followed behind her. Having long legs was an advantage; he caught up with her in just a few steps. He put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Actually, it's quite normal. What was the focus of your palace checkup? I guess they were looking for ghostly or ominous things, right?"
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "Otherwise what?"
“But Master knows that you can check these things, and you will definitely be able to tell. So I guess Master originally planned to find some things that you wouldn’t be able to tell, such as people or things that don’t look like they have ghostly energy or have been invaded by evil energy.”
That way, nothing is missed.
Lu Xiaoer's eyes swept across the area, and those demons and monsters couldn't hide. Since she could see them, Sect Leader Yin wouldn't waste his time following her. Therefore, Sect Leader Yin must have been investigating those subtle details.
For example, the books on the shelf.
"So, Master discovered the pebbles under the flower bushes, but because those things didn't exude any evil or ghostly aura at first glance, you missed them. Of course, if you had more time, you would definitely have found them too. Right now, it's not that there isn't enough time, it's just that you need to get a general idea, right?"
Zhou Shiyue coaxed her, "So it's normal that you didn't notice."
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
Although she knew there was some truth to what he said, Lu Zhaoling still reflected on herself and realized that she hadn't been careful enough.
However, she wasn't the type to dwell on internal conflicts; she would just give a quick self-reflection and move on.
"So what do you think Master found?"
Zhou Shiyue said, "He must have discovered one of the abandoned concubines in the Cold Palace, who might be an old acquaintance of Zong Bie."
Lu Zhaoling looked at him in surprise.
It was simply because Zhou Shiyue responded so naturally and with such certainty.
While he said it was possible, his tone clearly indicated certainty.
"Zong Bie knows people in the harem?"
"What's so strange about that? Weren't all those concubines in the harem outside the palace before they entered it?"
Zhou Shiyue said, "Zong Bie must have been a person of importance during his lifetime. Although he lived in that small mountain village, he must have been literate before entering the village. After living in seclusion in the mountain village as an outsider, he was still able to become a person known and praised by many villagers, which shows that he was not bad."
"Moreover, Xiao Sheng clearly has an unusual background, yet he still dared to adopt him and knew to find a way to hide Xiao Sheng's identity so that no one could find him. Could this be an ordinary person?"
Lu Zhaoling clicked his tongue.
"Then guess who he really is?"
"No need for that, we'll find out when Master comes back," Zhou Shiyue said with a smile.
Lu Zhaoling reached out and pinched him.
Granny Qing and Uncle Yun stood in front, watching them with smiles.
"The prince and princess have such a sweet relationship, they're so loving." Granny Qing laughed so hard her eyes crinkled into crescents as she watched them walk and play around.
My own master is just so adorable.
It's a pity that the two haven't shared a room yet.
Thinking of this, Granny Qing couldn't help but sigh again.
"Why are you laughing and sighing like that?" Uncle Yun glanced at her. "Try to be more open-minded and take good care of yourself. That way, you can help take care of the young prince when he is born."
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
Nanny Qing rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm perfectly healthy! You should worry about yourself!"
Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue had already seen Uncle Yun and Granny Qing standing in front.
"Zhou Shiyue, Uncle Yun, and Granny Qing..."
Lu Zhaoling lightly touched her two index fingers together and winked at Zhou Shiyue.
The meaning is very clear.
Zhou Shiyue was speechless for a moment.
"What are they thinking about? They're so old."
"So what if I'm old?" Lu Zhaoling thought he was very clever in other areas, but not so much in this matter. "Can't an older person find a companion?"
Anyway, she felt that there was always a very close atmosphere between Uncle Yun and Granny Qing.
However, she wouldn't casually check other people's marriage prospects or anything like that, especially not her own family members.
Sometimes, seeing everything in life clearly can actually make it less interesting.
When she was a child, her master told her that she should avoid looking at the people around her if possible, because it would make her feel more comfortable in their company.
She is at ease, and others are even more at ease.
If someone always feels that she can see right through them, others will also feel psychologically burdened.
Lu Zhaoling always remembered this.
Therefore, unless the other party has some major calamity or ominous sign, she generally won't look closely or say much, unless the other party asks her to.
“They’ve always been in the Prince’s mansion, aren’t they just companions?” Zhou Shiyue said.
"Can this be the same?"
Lu Zhaoling was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
At this moment, Granny Qing waved to her, "Your Highness."
Lu Zhaoling quickly walked over.
"Uncle Yun, Granny Qing."
How was your day at the Ancestral Temple?
While they were in the Prince's mansion, they were unaware of what had happened at the ancestral temple. After all, even if the other young men who had gone with them knew, they wouldn't specifically come back to tell Granny Qing and the others, so as not to worry them.
"Nothing's wrong, everyone's quite lively," Lu Zhaoling said.
Phew.
Qinglin, who was following behind, couldn't help but want to laugh.
Lively?
Is the word "princess" appropriate?
Zhou Shiyue glanced over, as if asking: Do you have a problem with that?
Qinglin immediately stepped back a few paces, letting Qingmu block his way.
Aoki: "..."
"That's good. The Emperor and the others will definitely like you very much when they meet you, Princess Consort." Granny Qing didn't doubt anything. She just felt that no one should dislike the Princess Consort, right?
The Emperor and his entourage caused a ruckus at the wedding; wasn't that because they hadn't actually met the Princess Consort? Once they did, they would naturally know how wonderful she was.
Now, Granny Qing looks at Lu Zhaoling like she's a treasure.
Uncle Yun nodded in agreement, showing his agreement with Granny Qing's words.
"By the way, Your Highness, while sorting through the congratulatory gifts today, Qingyin and Qingbao picked out a few items, saying they were a bit strange and wanted you to come back and take a look." Uncle Yun remembered this and quickly said, "Especially the congratulatory gift from Prince Dai, which was singled out."
A congratulatory gift from Dai Xu?
Lu Zhaoling became interested.
