After the hug that night, the shy Li Han didn't dare to look Lu Li in the eye for the past few days. She tried different ways to avoid him every day. Once she saw him, she would turn around and run away as if she had seen a ghost.

On the other hand, Lu Li has been unusually happy these days, with a smile in his eyes every day, and he has become much gentler in his dealings with others. He was not angry when he saw Li Han hiding from him, but instead had a smug expression on his face.

Everyone in the general's mansion was very curious about the two people's abnormal behavior, but no one knew what had happened, so they could only imagine it privately.

Before we knew it, the day of the Blessing Festival had arrived.

On the day before the Blessing Festival, Li Han needed to enter the palace in advance to prepare because he had to accompany the queen.

"The place of blessing is far and remote. You must take good care of yourself along the way. Don't get hungry or cold. If you feel unwell, you must see a doctor. Don't force yourself to go on. Got it?"

Lu Li gave Li Han countless instructions like an old mother, and told her almost everything he could think of.

Li Han was getting a little impatient: "Mrs. Lu, please shut your dignified mouth. My ears are getting calluses from your talk. If you don't find it annoying, then I will. Please spare my poor ears!"

"Listen carefully, what I'm talking about is very important. Although you're traveling with the Queen this time, and His Majesty will definitely send many experts and soldiers to escort you, you still can't let your guard down, understand?"

Seeing Li Han's nonchalant look, Lu Li got a little angry. He grabbed Li Han's ear and yelled in her ear, "Did you hear that, Miss Li Han?"

Lu Li's shout startled Li Han so much that she quickly released Lu Li's hand from holding her ear, covered her ear, and said to Lu Li with resentment in her eyes, "What are you doing? You scared me to death! I was scared out of my wits!"

Lu Li said reluctantly, "You've been gone for several days. I'm used to you being around me every day. Now that you're gone, I'm probably a little uncomfortable with it!"

Seeing Lu Li being so pretentious for the first time, Li Han was still a little uncomfortable and a little helpless: "Alright, what's there to be uncomfortable with? You're making it seem like a life-or-death separation. He'll be back in a few days, right? I asked you to go with me then, but you didn't go. Why are you talking about it now?"

Li Han was still brooding over Lu Li's refusal to go to the prayer ground with her last time, and this was a good opportunity for her to take revenge.

Lu Li did not refute, after all, it was indeed his own doing, and he obediently helped Li Han pack up his things.

Everything was almost ready. In fact, there was no need to prepare anything at all. After all, she was just accompanying the Queen to take a look. However, Lu Li felt that this was needed and that might be used, so she packed a lot of things, big and small.

Li Han originally wanted to enter the palace alone, but Lu Li insisted that he must accompany her. When Li Han refused, Lu Li kept coaxing her into submission. Li Han was fed up with his nagging and had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Lu Li escorted Li Han to the palace gate. When they were about to say goodbye, Li Han suddenly heard someone calling him from a distance.

Li Han looked carefully and found that it was Li Xiyao and Yu Linyuan walking towards her. Li Han stood there and waved to them.

"Why are you two here!" Li Han was very happy to see them.

"Of course we're here to see you off. We know you're going to accompany the Queen to the place of prayer, so we came to see you specially. That's very considerate of you, isn't it?" Li Xiyao said.

Seeing Lu Li standing aside, Li Xiyao and Yu Linyuan greeted him awkwardly, but Lu Li ignored them. Li Xiyao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Lu Li, so she pulled Li Han aside and stayed away from Lu Li.

"You are so thoughtful. When we get to the place of prayer, I will pray for you two!" Li Han was very touched by their concern for him.

Li Xiyao jokingly said, "It's a deal then. My future happy life is counting on you, don't forget!"

"Of course, I, Li Han, always keep my word!"

Li Xiyao leaned close to Li Han's ear and whispered softly, "I brought you something good. You'll definitely like it when you see it!"

"What is this? It's so mysterious!" Li Han suddenly became a little curious.

Li Xiyao took out a few books from her waist bag and stuffed them into Li Han's arms, saying proudly, "These are rare editions. I've been looking for them for you for a long time!"

Li Han looked at the books with a look of joy on his face, and said excitedly, "You are really awesome, but how did you think of finding these books for me?"

Li Xiyao sighed and said, "The journey to the prayer ground is long and remote. I'm worried you'll be bored on the way. Although you're accompanied by the Queen, she's the mother of a country after all. She can't be as open with you as we are. If I don't find some fun for you, given your personality, you'll be bored to death on the road!"

Li Han was deeply moved after hearing this and immediately hugged Li Xiyao: "You really understand me so well, it's great to have you two!"

"Okay, our mission is complete, and I've given you the book. Remember to read it every night. Don't waste my hard work!"

Li Han patted Li Xiyao's shoulder, nodded at her with a firm look, and assured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely remember them all firmly in my mind!"

Seeing Li Han chatting enthusiastically with the two people who suddenly appeared, Lu Li couldn't stand it anymore and coughed a few times on purpose, but Li Han and the others were still immersed in their own world and didn't notice Lu Li.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Lu Li seemed a little angry and shouted at them, "Have you talked enough? If you don't leave now, it will be too late. What nonsense is taking so long to talk about? There's still time to talk when we get back!"

Li Xiyao and Yu Linyuan were frightened by Lu Li's tone. They originally wanted to say a few more words to Li Han, but as soon as the words came to their lips, they swallowed them back and had to give up.

Li Han heard Lu Li's tone sound like he was angry again, and immediately retorted, "Alright, got it. Why rush me? It'll be done soon!" Then he turned to Li Xiyao and the others and said, "Don't take it to heart. That guy is just like that. He always gets angry, like a pump!"

Li Xiyao and Yu Linyuan looked at each other, as if they realized something, but did not say it out loud.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should hurry to the palace and don't keep the Queen waiting. I'll discuss the rest of the matter with you later when you return!"

Li Xiyao was talking to Li Han, but her eyes kept looking at Lu Li standing beside her. Seeing him staring at her with an expression as if he wanted to kill her, Li Xiyao was so scared that she quickly withdrew her gaze and had to shut her mouth.
