Chapter 197: Go to the academy to deliver melons!
"Perhaps your uncle remembered it wrongly, so he sent it to the Queen Mother, and that's why the Queen Mother quickly called you to come and eat."
The queen explained to the prince with a guilty conscience. The prince always felt that something was wrong, but he was so happy to enjoy the show that he didn't think too much about it.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the prince did not continue to ask questions.
"Since you like it, Mother, please ask Sister Zhizhi to send some more tomorrow."
Seeing that both the emperor and the queen liked it very much, the prince thought of asking Qin Zhizhi to send some more.
"This is not a good idea. Zhizhi worked so hard to grow these flowers." The queen felt a little embarrassed.
"Mother, even if I didn't tell her, Sister Zhizhi would have sent it to us. I am very important to Sister Zhizhi."
Zhao Yan said this with great confidence. The emperor looked up at him and thought to himself, "You are the only one who has a lot of face."
The three of them had lunch together. The emperor stayed in the queen's palace for a nap, while Zhao Yan returned to the East Palace.
Qin Zhizhi not only sent it to Zhao Yan, but also went to the academy in person because she thought of her husband and elder brother.
This is the first time we picked watermelons today, so of course we want to let them taste them.
After having two more baskets of watermelons picked, Qin Zhizhi asked Gu Yunfei to go to the academy together.
Before leaving, I specially brought some desserts for Chang Yue, as I promised the girl last time.
"Sister-in-law, will we disturb my brother and the others from studying if we go?"
Gu Yunfei was still a little conflicted. She was looking forward to going to the academy, but also a little worried.
"We'll deliver the watermelons there and then come back. It won't take much time."
It was also Qin Zhizhi's first time to go to the academy. She just wanted to share the joy of harvesting watermelons with her husband.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was in high spirits, Gu Yunfei stopped saying anything to spoil the fun.
"Brother will be very happy to see you."
"I think so too. We can also encourage them and make them more motivated to study."
Qin Zhizhi's words made Gu Yunfei laugh. Her sister-in-law always had different ideas.
The two of them talked about their inner thoughts along the way and soon arrived at the academy.
Qin Zhizhi couldn't enter the academy, so she asked the doorman to help her go in and call Gu Jinghuai and her elder brother.
Qin Zhizhi felt that she couldn't ask someone for help empty-handed, so she took a watermelon from the carriage and gave it to the doorman.
"Sir, no, no." The frightened doorman kept declining.
"Uncle, just take it. It's grown in our own fields and is not worth much."
Qin Zhizhi handed the watermelon to the doorman. Only after hearing that it was grown by her family did the uncle agree to take it.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei stood under the shade of a tree, and the breeze brought a hint of coolness.
Both of them were looking forward to it.
When Gu Jinghuai and the others heard that Qin Zhizhi had arrived, they were very happy and walked much faster than usual.
As soon as I walked out of the academy, my eyes searched everywhere for familiar figures.
When he saw Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei under the shade of the tree, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Jinghuai's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.
"My wife, my sister, you are here." Gu Jinghuai's voice was filled with unconcealable joy.
"Sister, Princess, you are here!" Qin Qingyuan was even more surprised. He didn't expect that not only his sister came, but Gu Yunfei also came.
Qin Zhizhi smiled and said, "The watermelons are ripe today. Yunfei and I will bring some for you to try."
"They are all on the carriage. Big Brother and Big Brother Qin, please help carry them to the carriage."
Gu Yunfei said softly, pointing to the carriage.
"I'll move it!" Qin Qingyun volunteered to move the watermelons onto the carriage.
"Brother, you may not be able to do it alone. Can you find someone to help? We brought two baskets and one for Sister Yue'er as well."
Qin Zhizhi reminded Qin Qingyun.
"Is that so? Then wait here for me. I'll go get some help."
Qin Qingyun touched his head embarrassedly, then went back to call for help.
Gu Jinghuai held Qin Zhizhi's hand and said softly, "Thank you for making such a special trip, madam."
Qin Zhizhi shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "It's not hard at all. I promised you that I would let you taste the watermelon first when it's ripe."
Gu Jinghuai gently held Qin Zhizhi's hand and stood in front of Qin Zhizhi to block the sunlight for her, fearing that the sun would accidentally burn Qin Zhizhi.
Noticing Gu Jinghuai's actions, Qin Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat.
"Thank you, my husband!"
Gu Jinghuai lowered his head and said softly, "We are husband and wife, it is my duty to take care of my wife."
Qin Zhizhi smiled gently when she heard that, and the two of them talked in low voices, and the atmosphere was very good.
Qin Qingyuan looked at the two people who were so inseparable and could only quietly move aside, not wanting to disturb them.
He looked at Gu Yunfei with tender eyes, and his heart beat faster.
Gu Yunfei wore a turquoise jacket today and a ruby-studded hairpin in her hair.
Standing there quietly, so gentle.
"Princess!" Qin Qingyuan's voice was restrained.
Gu Yunfei looked up at him, her eyes clear as water, and a hint of shyness flashed across her face the moment her gaze met his.
Gu Yunfei lowered her head embarrassedly. Qin Qingyuan also wanted to hold the little girl's hand, but he was afraid of scaring her.
The two of them were so close that Gu Yunfei could even smell the faint scent of ink on him.
"How come you have time to come here today, Princess?"
"I'll accompany my sister-in-law to come and see you."
The two chatted idly until they heard footsteps in the distance.
It was Qin Qingyun who came with helpers. Gu Yunfei subconsciously took a half step back and kept some distance from Qin Qingyuan.
"Sister, Sister Yunfei, we are here."
Because there were outsiders present, Qin Qingyun did not call Gu Yunfei "Princess" as he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"The watermelon is on the carriage. Sorry to bother everyone."
Gu Jinghuai asked everyone to move the watermelons onto the carriage, and Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun also hurried to help.
When two baskets of emerald green watermelons were carried out, everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect the ripe watermelons to be so big. The last time they saw them, they were only as big as a bowl.
"Sister, is this the watermelon from our farm?"
"Of course, one basket for Sister Yue'er, and one basket for you to share with your classmates. There are more on the farm."
Qin Zhizhi naturally hopes that everyone can get along harmoniously with their classmates in the academy.
"knew."
A few people responded and asked the people who came to help to carry the watermelon in first.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei were reluctant to waste too much of their time, so they said goodbye to them.
Although I am very reluctant, I have to go back to class.
It was not until the carriage disappeared around the corner that Gu Jinghuai and Qin Qingyuan reluctantly entered the academy.
Qin Qingyuan thought of Gu Yunfei's red ears just now, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The doorman looked at the two baskets of watermelons carried in, and then looked at the watermelon Qin Zhizhi gave him, and felt that it was very precious.
What surprised him even more was after lunch.
There are many young men from wealthy families in the academy. In the afternoon, some of them arranged servants to deliver watermelons to their children who were studying there.
After asking, the doorman realized how precious the watermelon Qin Zhizhi gave him was.
