Bai Zhi looked at Eunuch Deng with increasing confusion: "Eunuch Deng, what exactly do you want to say by asking so many questions?"

Eunuch Deng was speechless. How could this little girl be so stupid?

I had no choice but to get straight to the point and say, "Miss Baizhi, could you please let your young lady come over here and lie down? My prince has been thinking about your young lady these past few days."

If we don’t go now, the chefs will go crazy.

Of course...he too.

Bai Zhi quickly shook her head: "Although the young lady treats me well every day, I can't push my luck and make decisions for her. Our young lady will decide whether to go or not. It's not my turn to speak."

Bai Zhi knew that her young lady was clearly angry with the prince.

She can hear me mumbling while pulling weeds in the yard every day.

Eunuch Deng said with a bitter face: "Miss Baizhi, just consider it as helping this old servant. You don't have to ask your young lady to come over. Just say that our peaches are ripe again and see if your young lady will come."

"Or you could deliberately tell her that you saw me calling a doctor and that my prince's leg disease was recurring."

"Anything is fine. Let's see if Miss Ji can come. Thank you for troubling you, Miss Baizhi."

"Please have some pity on my servants. Your young lady hasn't been here these past few days, and the prince's face is scary. It's really sad for us servants."

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and then nodded: "Then I'll tell you, but I can't guarantee whether my lady will go or not."

Eunuch Deng nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Baizhi."

After returning to the farm, Bai Zhi immediately betrayed Eunuch Deng and told Xu Jinyi everything he taught her to say.

Xu Jinyi raised her eyebrows: "Humph, am I someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will?"

"I don't want to cause trouble."

Qi Yichen sat in the yard, looking at the peach tree, as if Xu Jinyi's figure was right in front of him.

Qi Yichen still remembered her soft body and the faint fragrance when he held her that day.

It seemed that every corner of this yard was filled with Xu Jinyi's figure. No matter where he was, Qi Yichen could always think of her.

Unknowingly, Xu Jinyi had invaded his life.

She hadn't been here for a few days, and Qi Yichen realized that he had become accustomed to her presence.

I'm used to seeing her in the yard every morning when I wake up.

Accustomed to her chattering non-stop, even if he doesn't respond.

Now that she's not here, it's like nothing goes right.

This made him restless and he was always distracted and dazed. He had no interest in anything and couldn't even concentrate on reading.

I felt even more depressed and irritated.

Seeing Eunuch Deng sneaking up behind him, Qi Yichen raised his eyelids.

"Where have you been?" The voice was cold but with a hint of imperceptible expectation.

When he saw Eunuch Deng sneaking away, he knew what he was going to do, so he didn't stop him.

However, when he saw that there was no beautiful woman behind him, his face was still very long.

Eunuch Deng froze. "Your Highness, I had a stomachache just now and went to the restroom. I happened to see Miss Baizhi passing by the door, so I went out to chat with her."

Qi Yichen rubbed his fingers together: "Oh? What did you say?"

"Miss Xu said she likes to go to the mountains to catch pheasants recently, so she didn't come."

Qi Yichen glanced at Eunuch Deng coldly: "Did I ask Miss Xu?"

Eunuch Deng knelt down quickly, trembling with fear, and said, "No, no, it's just that I saw that Miss Xu hadn't come in the past few days, and I thought she might be ill. Today, the imperial physician happened to be here, so I thought I'd ask."

"Go to the study and bring me the books on my desk."

After sending Eunuch Deng away, Qi Yichen called the secret guards down from the tree.

"Keep an eye on Miss Xu for the next two days. If she goes out to catch pheasants, drive the pheasants in front of her."

Secret Guard: ...

He was a dignified secret guard, a master, and he actually wanted to catch a pheasant?!

"Remember, don't let her find out." Qi Yichen added.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Yichen thought that in a day or two, Xu Jinyi would lose interest in pheasants and would come over.

Unexpectedly, although we caught quite a few pheasants, they didn't seem to have any intention of coming over.

Staring at the yard next door, Qi Yichen felt inexplicably annoyed and unhappy.

You said you liked him, but you gave up so easily. You also said you liked him, is that it?

Looking at the cloudless sky, Qi Yichen's mood was overcast.

He called the secret guard and asked, "Did Miss Xu go out today?"

“No.”

After waving his hand, the secret guard retreated. Soon after, Xu Jinyi's laughter was heard from the next yard.

"Baizhi, the wind is coming, you can let go now."

"Baizhi, look, look, the kite is flying. Hehe, this is the first time I've successfully flown a kite in my life."

"Higher, higher."

Qi Yichen stared at the kite and felt even more depressed.

So he's been so unhappy these past few days, but the culprit is laughing and joking every day?!

When Eunuch Deng came back, he saw the prince quickly raise his hand into the air, and a dazzling light flashed in the sunlight.

Eunuch Deng was still confused when he heard Xu Jinyi's exclamation from next door.

"My kite!"

"I just put it up, how come the string broke? The quality of this kite is too poor. I won't buy that old man's kite next time."

It was really Xu Jinyi's first time flying a kite, and she was just getting into the mood when she watched her kite fall into the yard next door.

"Miss, my kite fell in the prince's yard. Do you want to pick it up? I can still play with it by tying a knot, or should I go buy another one?"

"It will be dark by the time you get it back, so what's the point of playing with it? Go pick it up."

Bai Zhi's face turned awkward: "Miss, I dare not. The prince is here. If I accidentally offend the prince, my life will be in danger."

Xu Jinyi rolled her eyes at her: "You've been there so many times, are you still afraid of the prince?"

Bai Zhi said confidently, "That's because you're here, Miss. I wouldn't dare go alone."

"How about we go together, Miss? Otherwise, I don't dare to go."

Thinking of Eunuch Deng's pitiful face, Bai Zhi still made a pitiful expression.

“It’s useless!”

Xu Jinyi took two steps and turned back: "Are you not leaving yet?"

Bai Zhi followed with a smile.

Qi Yichen also heard the conversation between the two. Knowing that Xu Jinyi was coming over, he unconsciously adjusted his collar.

Today, Xu Jinyi was wearing a lavender gauze skirt. The fabric was soft and thin, and her waist was tied with a belt made of silky purple satin embroidered with small white flowers.

Her slender waist can be held in one hand, perfectly outlining her perfect figure.

The dress is plain yet elegant, and even better reveals Xu Jinyi's refined and noble temperament.

Xu Jinyi walked towards him with the sun on her back, and Qi Yichen stared at her in a daze for a moment.
