Chapter 82 Thank You, Your Majesty, for the Tea
Although Lu Chen is a prince, because he grew up with Bai Qingqing and has the soul of a time traveler, he rarely shows off his identity as a prince in front of Bai Qingqing.
When Lu Chen was a child, he liked to tease Bai Qingqing with words, mainly to see if she would show a panicked expression.
However, after several years, he did not see any change in the expression on Bai Qingqing's face.
At this time, when Bai Qingqing heard Lu Chen's words, she was still as untouched as she was when she was a child. She didn't feel there was anything wrong with this, and there was no look of panic on her face.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen thought to himself that she was indeed a heartless woman.
At this time, Bai Qingqing took the initiative to salute Lu Chen and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
Although Lu Chen did not show off his identity as a prince in front of her, Lu Chen was still the prince and the King of the North after all, so she still had to bow when she saw Lu Chen.
Lu Chen immediately held onto Bai Qingqing's jade arm, looked into Bai Qingqing's eyes with a smile and said, "Xiao Bai, you are so angry now, why are you saluting in front of me?"
Seeing Lu Chen's eyes staring straight at Bai Qingqing, Chu Yuqin suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She couldn't help but think, could Chen'er also have that kind of interest in Xiaobai?
Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin quickly stopped herself from thinking any more.
She didn't know what was wrong with her today. When she saw Lu Chen talking to other women, she felt sour in her heart. She always felt that Lu Chen was interested in them.
Chu Yuqin tried to comfort herself in her heart. It wouldn't be surprising if Chen'er was interested in them. What did she want to do so much?
Lu Chen said to Bai Qingqing at this time: "Xiao Bai, come in quickly. I want to hear where you have been and what you have experienced in these years."
Having said this, Lu Chen directly took Bai Qingqing's beautiful hand and walked towards the palace. Bai Qingqing did not resist and had no idea of breaking away.
The two have been hugging each other since childhood, even sleeping together. Bai Qingqing has long been accustomed to close contact with Lu Chen, so she doesn't care at all when Lu Chen holds her hand.
Soon they arrived at the main courtyard. Lu Chen immediately asked the maid to make a pot of dragon and phoenix tea, and he poured it for Bai Qingqing himself.
The introduction of the system mentioned that dragon and phoenix tea should be used to restore Bai Qingqing's emotions, although I don't know what kind of reaction Bai Qingqing will have after activating Bai Qingqing's emotions.
However, the main function of Longfeng Tea is to increase the woman's favorability towards him and make her unable to live without him, so even if her emotions are restored, there should be no adverse reactions to her.
After pouring the dragon and phoenix tea to Bai Qingqing, Lu Chen took Bai Qingqing's hand and said, "Xiao Bai, this is the royal palace's unique tea. It can refresh your mind after drinking it. Please taste it."
Hearing this, Bai Qingqing didn't say anything. She directly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After drinking it, Bai Qingqing discovered that the tea was indeed refreshing, but because she had no emotions, she did not show any surprise.
She then put the tea cup down and said to Lu Chen expressionlessly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea."
Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then asked: "Where did you go to practice after you left the capital? Why didn't you come back to the capital to see me?"
Bai Qingqing said: "I went to practice deep in a certain mountain. I don't know where that place is."
She lied without a blushing face or a beating heart, and outsiders couldn't tell that she was lying. If Lu Chen hadn't been systematic, they might have really thought that she had gone to practice deep in a certain mountain.
Lu Chen then continued to ask: "Then you want to go back?"
Bai Qingqing replied calmly: "I'm not going back, I'm leaving the army."
Hearing Bai Qingqing's answer, Chu Yuqin on the side immediately suggested: "Since you have left the army, how about you stay in Beiwang Mansion from now on? With us?"
Bai Qingqing did not refuse, and agreed simply: "Yes, okay."
Her main mission in coming to Beiwang Mansion this time was to monitor Beiwang. Since Chu Yuqin asked her to stay, it would be convenient for her to monitor Beiwang's every move.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing agreed, Chu Yuqin felt very happy.
Unlike Chu Yuqin, Lu Chen knew that Bai Qingqing would take the initiative to stay, so he was not surprised at all when he heard Bai Qingqing agreed to stay.
What he is thinking now is that Bai Qingqing has come to the North Palace at this time, and the barbarians are going south, so some secrets of the North Palace will inevitably be exposed to Bai Qingqing.
Such as the Jinyiwei, and the howitzer he will show to the soldiers soon.
If Bai Qingqing reported these things to his father, it would probably cause some trouble for him.
So the best way is to let Bai Qingqing become his woman completely before Bai Qingqing reports these things.
Only in this way can he keep his secret and prevent his little secret from being known by his father.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said to Bai Qingqing: "Xiao Bai, this kind of tea is also helpful for improving your realm. You can drink more."
Having said this, Lu Chen poured himself a cup of Dragon Phoenix tea and drank it in one gulp.
Hearing Lu Chen say that the tea in front of her was helpful for improving her realm, Bai Qingqing became interested instantly. She originally thought that the tea was just for refreshing her mind, but she didn't expect it to have other effects.
Bai Qingqing said at this time: "Oh, okay."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the teacup again and took another sip. After taking this sip, she found that the tea seemed to help improve her realm, and her internal force was running more smoothly.
Bai Qingqing needed to collect information, so she asked: "Prince, do you still have this tea?"
Lu Chen replied: "Yes, there are tea trees in my mansion. If you want to drink tea in the future, you can go pick tea leaves to make tea."
Listening to Lu Chen's answer, Bai Qingqing was already preparing to report this information.
Tea that can improve the realm is unheard of. As the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, she will definitely tell Emperor Xia about this.
In order to find out more information, Bai Qingqing took the initiative to ask: "Prince, I saw a woman with a plum blossom mark on her forehead in the city today. I wonder if you have seen her."
Chen Wanrong felt Bai Qingqing's extraordinaryness, and Bai Qingqing naturally felt Chen Wanrong's extraordinaryness as well. Both of them are masters, and they are very familiar with the aura released by the masters.
Bai Qingqing suspected that the woman was the mysterious master in the Northern Palace that the outside world had been rumored to have, so she planned to focus on investigating the woman and see what kind of power was behind the woman.
Hearing Bai Qingqing's question, Lu Chen did not hide it at all, and he said directly: "Are you talking about Miss Chen?"
"There is a plum blossom mark on her forehead, and she happens to be in the palace now. What do you want to see her for? I can ask her to come now."
Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Bai Qingqing thought to herself that the woman was indeed the mysterious master of the Northern Palace.
Since the target has been determined, the next task is very simple. She only needs to find out what the woman is doing in the Northern Palace.
Just when Bai Qingqing was thinking this, her brain suddenly froze, and then a sharp pain came.
The next moment, Bai Qingqing's expression was trance, and her body swayed. She felt as if countless pictures flashed through her mind, and it seemed that some memories that did not belong to her poured into her mind.
Seeing Bai Qingqing holding her head with her hands up and her body unsteady, Lu Chen quickly supported Bai Qingqing, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"
