“Spiritual flowers and herbs…” Ji Fengyao’s eyes lit up. Having been in this world for so long, this was the first time she had ever heard someone mention spiritual flowers and herbs in casual conversation.

Zhao Qinglian did not tell Shi Mi about Ji Fengyao's matter;

Shi Mi thought that Ji Fengyao collected the herbs because she was an alchemist; although he issued a notice to collect herbs, he did not take it to heart.

Hearing Kaf mention it, he remembered this and quickly chimed in, "Yes, there are many spiritual flowers and herbs by Mi Lake. When Mother told me to send out the recruitment notice yesterday, she also ordered me to send someone to take my sister-in-law there. Later, I was having a good chat with my elder brother and forgot about it. Is my sister-in-law going now?"

Ji Fengyao: "..."

I want to beat this kid up.

If a pill refiner came to another family, they would be eager to shovel out all the dregs of their medicine and have them refine them into pills. But this kid actually forgot!

“Oh, Your Majesty, since Yao Yao mentioned it, we’re definitely going. You even helped her post a notice yesterday to collect all sorts of medicinal herbs. Do you still need to ask?” Wanqika jumped up happily and shouted in Ji Fengming’s direction, “Oh, great! Let’s go boating and picnicking on Mi Lake!”

Ji Fengming: "!!!"

This was a complete shock!

But before he could come up with a reason not to go, Shang Xiye stood up in the waterside pavilion and said directly to him and Hei Xiao, "Hei Xiao, Feng Ming, you should go too. With more people, it will be easier to help Yao Yao gather more spiritual flowers and herbs. Also, you can see if there are any dragon fish that have become spiritual beasts in Mi Lake. If there are, we need Feng Ming's assistance to catch them."

"There are spirit beast-grade dragonfish in Mi Lake," Zhao Qinglian happened to walk over from the direction of the national treasury at that moment. She picked up on Shang Xiye's words and walked over gracefully while smiling, "However, since it is a spirit beast, it is very difficult to catch. I and Xian Dan tried to catch it back then, but we never succeeded. However, we were just playing around out of novelty back then and did not intend to catch it. If you put in some effort, you might be able to catch it."

After speaking, she walked to Ji Fengyao's side and stuffed the storage ring that the little bandit had given her back into the little bandit's hand, saying softly, "Mother has carefully searched the national treasury and found more than a thousand kinds of medicinal herbs, all of which are quite precious and rare in this world. See if you can use them. If you can use them but are short of them, just tell Mother, and Mother and Shimi will do their best to find them for you."

Ji Fengyao quickly scanned her storage ring with her divine sense. The ring was filled with all sorts of medicine boxes, and regardless of how many of them were urgently needed, Zhao Qinglian's kindness towards her was enough to move her.

"Thank you, Mother..." Ji Fengyao obediently curtsied.

This simple "thank you" stuck in my throat, but it spoke louder than a thousand words.

Even though the two are not related by blood, and even though they have only met for two days;

But some people in this world are destined to become family, even if they only spend two days together, it's better than others arguing like cats and dogs for a lifetime.

Zhao Qinglian gently patted Ji Fengyao's hand and then lovingly took her hand, saying, "We're family, so let's not be formal. Today, I'll have a relaxing day and accompany you to Mihu Lake for a day of fun. You mustn't complain that I'm with you and that you're not having a good time."

"What are you saying, Mother? If you can come along, both the Prince and I would be more than happy to do so," Ji Fengyao said coquettishly, shaking Zhao Qinglian's hand.

She transferred all the medicine boxes from the storage ring to her own storage ring, and then put the storage ring back on Zhao Qinglian's hand.
