Chapter 107 Return
At that time, Lu Ming had a tough temper and a crazy temper. He had never been so interested in any woman. Whether it was a royal princess or a commoner's daughter, there was no difference in his eyes.
But the fifteen-year-old Yan Qing was impressed by the Suzaku King, who had always been arrogant and arrogant. He even lost control several times because of his powerlessness. The most serious one was that he almost couldn't help but use his troops to rebel.
Fortunately, the most painful year has passed. For Yan Qing, it was a tempering and an opportunity for her nirvana and rebirth.
But for other participants and bystanders, it left a lasting legacy that will never be erased.
"I respectfully welcome Your Highness the Princess." A black-robed Shen Mo walked quickly from the mansion, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Yan Qing respectfully, "Your Highness, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity."
The other Qilin Guards knelt down in unison and said with great momentum, "Welcome to Your Highness the Princess!"
"No courtesy." Yan Qing walked in, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"It's not hard." Shen Mo lowered his eyebrows, "The regent and Uncle Chen are here. Do you want to see them, Your Highness?"
Yan Qing turned to look at Lu Ming: "You go and do your own business first, and come to the princess's house for dinner in the evening."
Lu Ming said: "I have nothing to do, I can stay here now——"
"Your Highness has just come back. Why don't you take a bath, change clothes and rest for a while?" Langya dragged him away, "Why are you so ignorant?"
"Let go of me." Lu Ming quickly shook off his grip and shouted coldly and majestically, "If you're not big or small, how can you be dignified?"
Langya sneered mercilessly.
"Then your Highness, rest first, I will make arrangements." Lu Ming said goodbye temporarily, "Don't forget to prepare my dishes and chopsticks tonight."
After explaining carefully, Lu Ming reluctantly left.
Yan Qing looked at Shen Mo: "Where does the regent live?"
"The palace."
Yan Qing hummed and walked towards the main courtyard: "I will rest for half an hour. You will send someone to invite him over later."
"yes."
Yan Qing had only been away from Zhuque City for five months. He was very familiar with his mansion and didn't need others to interfere here.
On the other hand, Wen Jin didn't know how she felt when she returned here after three years of absence and looked at the princess mansion that had changed so much from three years ago.
In front of the courtyard, maids were walking around, carrying basins in their hands, fetching water, serving tea, and sweeping.
Seeing Yan Qing approaching, they all put down what they were doing and knelt down to salute.
"Your Highness." Chen Xiang, the chief maid of Qihuang Courtyard, came over and took off Yan Qing's coat. "My servant has asked people to prepare hot water in the bath. The fresh flower petals just picked in the morning and the incense in the palace are also ready. Your Highness Let’s take a fragrant bath and have a good rest.”
Yan Qing looked at the well-cared-for potted plants on both sides of the yard and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xiang said respectfully: "This is what a slave should do."
Yan Qing walked into the main courtyard, climbed up the stairs, and stepped into his bedroom. Behind him, a person followed quietly, his eyebrows lowered and silent, like a carefully carved humanoid jade sculpture.
Yan Qing told Chen Xiang: "Prepare some more dishes for dinner, in case there are distinguished guests coming, and also bring over the jars of peach blossom stuffed wine that I have collected."
"yes."
Yan Qing went to take off her clothes and take a bath. The bath in the Ninth Princess Mansion was drawn from Queshan hot spring water, which had a warm feeling. Fresh flower petals of various colors were floating in the bath, and the fragrance lingered in the air.
Several beautiful maids knelt respectfully on one side, waiting for their master to take a bath.
Yan Qing leaned against the bathtub and closed her eyes slightly: "We will tidy up Wen Jin's room later and he will move in tonight."
"yes."
Yan Qing lived in Qihuang Hall, which is the main palace of the princess mansion. Wen Jin used to live in Fuyunju on the south side, not far from Qihuang Hall.
However, Wen Jin didn't really "live" for long. His residence had a study room, a piano room, and a room dedicated to kneeling and reflection.
Compared with the bedrooms that have become useless, the study room, piano room and retreat room can often come in handy.
At this time, Wen Jin was standing alone in front of the window. His expression was indifferent and distant, and there seemed to be a layer of mist between his eyebrows and eyes, hazy, as if there was always a layer of distance between them.
When Yan Qing came out wearing a loose robe, Wen Jin turned around and lowered her eyes, "Your Highness."
"I have to entertain the Prince Regent tonight and I have no time to pay attention to you. You go wash up and change clothes. After cleaning yourself up, go to the study and kneel down to copy the Heart Sutra twenty times." Yan Qing's tone was cold, revealing a pressure that could not be ignored. "I have been too indulgent to you recently. Since you insist on asking for a beating, I will grant it to you."
Wen Jin was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and responded, "Yes."
"The peach blossom wine is prepared for you." Yan Qing raised the corner of his mouth with an indifferent arc, "So you should know what you will face after the scripture copying is over."
Wen Jin was silent and looked slightly pale.
"I gave you a chance to explain, but you didn't cherish it." Yan Qing's eyes were slightly cold, "Go now."
Wen Jin pursed her lips and responded, then turned and walked out.
Even though she knew that kneeling to copy the Heart Sutra meant that she would not be able to see her for the next half day, she would entertain the regent tonight, and might go to the study to talk after that... But Wen Jin knew that she had no room to refuse.
Your Highness at this time is the feared His Highness in Zhuque City, which is completely different from when you stayed in Chu Kingdom.
Yan Qing watched him leave, turned around and sat down on the brocade couch, "Agarwood."
"My slave is here."
"I will take a moment to take a close look. The regent is here to call me."
"yes."
Not only was Lu Ming surprised by the fact that the regent Yan Cang personally arrived at Suzaku City, but once the news reached the fiefdoms of the other three kings, it would inevitably lead to speculation.
However, Lu Ming has calmed down in the past two days, and even had two meals with the Regent. Yan Cang's unfathomable face showed no intention.
As for the irritable Uncle Chen, Lu Ming had no interest in dealing with him and ignored him. Tonight, Yan Qing decided to host a banquet for the Regent, but no one notified him.
If he was not afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, Lu Ming would even want to keep him here forever to make fertilizer for the crabapple in the back garden of His Highness.
Yan Qing walked into the inner room and lay down at the head of the bed.
The most exhausting thing is the journey. Now that he was completely relaxed, Yan Qing realized that he had not had a peaceful and comfortable sleep for a long time.
This sleep lasted for an hour.
At about 12:00, Shen Mo came to report that the Regent had arrived, and Yan Qing woke up.
Chen Xiang brought the maids to serve, wash her face, change her clothes and put on her makeup.
