The little girl he cherished in his past life has returned to his side in this life. How wonderful.

only……

The thought of him kneeling on the ground, picking up the little girl's body at the end is unbearable.

He was so scared that his heart trembled, so heartbroken that his heart trembled, and so hateful that his heart trembled!

She felt Shang Xiye suddenly grip her hand so tightly it hurt.

Ji Fengyao turned around in confusion and saw that Shang Xiye's eyes, which were usually as clear as a bright starry sky, were now filled with a violent undercurrent. She was even more puzzled: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, it's just that the scenery reminded me of some unpleasant things from the past," Shang Xiye said, half-truthfully.

Ji Fengyao assumed he was referring to the brutal battles of the past and didn't want to touch on his painful past, so she didn't ask any further questions.

There are many spiritual flowers and herbs by the lake, but they all grow naturally and are not planted by humans in medicinal fields. Not every one of them can be used to refine pills, so Ji Fengyao still needs to identify and pick them herself.

Wanqika followed Ji Fengyao absentmindedly for a while.

She appeared to be learning from Ji Fengyao how to identify usable spiritual herbs, but her gaze was almost always fixed on Ji Fengming. The more afraid and evasive Ji Fengming was, the more amused she became.

In the past, the men of the Kingdom of Jialuo always adored her.

Everyone was trying to curry favor with her, going to great lengths to give her waist pendants; it was really pointless.

Now that she has met a boy like Ji Fengming who is her type, about her age, doesn't pester her, and is even shy, she is extremely fond of him.

"Yaoyao, how long do you plan to keep picking?" Wanqika asked meaningfully.

Ji Fengyao straightened up and looked around, seeing that everyone was helping her gather spirit herbs;

Even Zhao Qinglian was helping her dig for spirit herbs.

Ji Fengyao couldn't help but smile warmly and said, "Since it's our first day here, I don't know which spiritual herbs are useful and which aren't. Let's all go boating and enjoy ourselves first. I'll familiarize myself with all the spiritual herbs here and dig up some of each kind. Then everyone can identify a few to help me collect them. This way, it'll be efficient and won't delay your sightseeing."

“Yao’er, let me help you gather herbs,” Ji Fengming replied immediately.

The boat was so small that there was nowhere to hide if it went out onto the lake.

He absolutely refused to board the ship with that little girl whose eyes were glued to him!

"My little wife, I'll help you gather spirit herbs too," Shang Xiye said softly, as if he hadn't finished speaking.

Although he didn't say it, anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance.

Aside from spending time with his wife, he has no interest in sightseeing or enjoying the lake.

Zhao Qinglian's eyes shifted slightly, her gaze lightly sweeping over Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao, and Wanqikafu. She smiled and said, "You should all listen to Fengyao. If you all pile up here, you won't be able to help, and you'll only make things worse. Look at you, you've trampled and broken so many spiritual flowers and herbs. If there are any that Fengyao needs, wouldn't that be a waste?"

Shang Xiye and Ji Fengming quickly looked down and saw that many flowers and plants had been trampled and broken by the roots or up to their waists in the grass. The place they had passed through was indeed a mess.

The two fell silent.

Ji Fengyao knew that Zhao Qinglian's mind had changed. Although she felt a little sad, she still went along with her and continued to persuade her, "Your Highness, why don't you accompany your mother to the lake for a while? You and your mother have been separated for so many years and haven't had a proper time together yet."

And brother, didn't you keep saying you wanted to help me catch the dragonfish?

"You, the Prince, and Brother Xiao Chen, the three of you should go to the lake first. With Mother's assistance, you might be able to catch them!"
