Chapter 16: The General's Pet (16)



He remained calm when he turned the first page; it turned out to be a sketchbook.

Fu Yanci casually flipped through two pages and roughly looked at the contents of the sketchbook. He thought about sending someone to find more sketchbooks to entertain her tomorrow.

Everything seemed normal at first, but when Fu Yanci turned to the next page, he was stunned.

He was originally calm, but suddenly he brought the sketchbook close to his eyes and carefully read the familiar content on it.

Fu Yanci's face darkened: "..."

Oh, I had a nightmare. I dreamed of a fire and looking for my lover.

Fu Yanci no longer had any interest in the contents at the back of the sketchbook. He put the sketchbook back under Jiang Jingyu's pillow and shook his head helplessly and lovingly.

Only then did he not hide his feelings.

Fu Yanci leaned over to cover her with the quilt, then lifted the hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, looking at the face he wanted to see every moment, wanting to engrave her appearance deeply in his mind.

When his eyes fell on her red lips, he suddenly remembered that her warm tongue had gently brushed against his fingers during the day.

Gulp——

Fu Yanci's throat rolled.

He supported himself with one hand and leaned down slightly, touching her red lips like a dragonfly skimming the water, then turned around like a thief and stopped looking at her.

The next day, when Jiang Jingyu woke up, Fu Yanci was no longer by her side.

After she finished washing up, she went to the old lady's courtyard to have breakfast with her. Before leaving, she did not forget to hide the sketchbook under her pillow in the drawer in front of the dressing table.

Seeing that Jiang Jingyu looked good today, the old lady looked at her with a smile and said, "After dinner, let Xiaodie and Xiu'er accompany you to go shopping on the street. You can buy anything you like."

After learning about Jiang Jingyu's miserable life in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady now only wants to compensate her to make up for the regret in her heart.

Jiang Jingyu did not refuse. She had not been to the street since she came here, and she didn't know what happened on the Cuju field after she took the lead yesterday. She took this opportunity to find out.

After dinner, Jiang Jingyu took Xiu'er and Xiaodie out of the general's mansion. The three of them, master and servant, stood on Changle Bridge, looking down at the people coming and going below.

The lake surface reflected the mottled phoenix lanterns on the opposite bank, and the breeze blew, causing scaly ripples.

The lakeside market is bustling with people and lined with shops.

"Hurry up, hurry up! I heard the Prime Minister's Mansion is distributing rice candy. If you go too late, they will be gone!"

"Let's go! We didn't get anything when the second young lady got married, so we must go and share in the joy of the eldest young lady's wedding this time!"

After everyone finished speaking, they ran excitedly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"Miss, be careful!"

Xiu'er and Xiaodie were afraid that Jiang Jingyu would be hit, so they hurriedly stood in front of her.

Jiang Jingyu narrowed her eyes as she looked in the direction everyone was heading.

Jiang Jingran is getting married?

Not only Jiang Jingyu was confused, but Xiaodie also frowned in confusion.

Xiaodie stopped someone and asked in confusion, "Auntie, I just heard that the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu is getting married? What's going on? Isn't the eldest daughter still married?"

The aunt looked at Xiaodie in disbelief. "Really? You didn't even know about such a big thing as His Majesty arranging a marriage between the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Third Prince?"

Xiaodie was startled, her eyes widening: "The Third Prince? A marriage?"

"Yeah, stop standing there! If you're late, the rice candy will be gone!"

The aunt urged and hurried to catch up with the crowd in front.

Only after the crowd around them had dispersed and the place was less crowded did Xiu'er and Xiaodie turn around.

"Miss, the eldest lady..."

Jiang Jingyu was just surprised when she first heard the news, but now she has returned to normal.

"Let's go."

Jiang Jingyu took the first step and walked down Changle Bridge, and Xiu'er and Xiaodie hurriedly followed.

Jiang Jingyu looked around casually, and finally walked into the Hairpin Pavilion, isolating herself from the noise outside.

"Don't rush, don't rush, we have them all, we have them all!"

There was a bustling crowd in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone was bending down to pick up the wedding candies, longans, etc. thrown on the ground, hoping to share in the joy.

The servants threw handfuls of wedding candies in their hands one after another, and their mouths were almost stretched to their ears with joy!

Their young lady is now the third imperial concubine appointed by His Majesty, and the Madam was so happy that she rewarded each of them with five taels of silver!

"Make way, make way!"

Just when everyone was laughing, a very discordant and harsh voice came from behind.

Everyone stopped picking up the wedding candies, and before they could turn around, they were suddenly pushed away by someone!

A burly man squeezed in from behind them and ran towards the prime minister's residence panting.

"Who is this person? Why is he so angry on such a happy day?"

"He entered the Prime Minister's residence. Could he be a servant there?"

"I, I, I know him! Isn't this Shopkeeper Lu's son, Da Biao?"

"Da Biao? Why is he here if he's not staying in the shop?"

"You're so anxious, something must have happened!"

Imperial Palace, Throne Room.

The Prime Minister has been feeling uneasy since last night, always feeling that something is going to happen. After attending the morning court in fear, the uneasiness in his heart is even worse.

After the court session, he lowered his head and walked quickly out of the Golden Palace, without even hearing the ministers behind him calling him.

"Yanci, I have something to tell you."

The prince's voice sounded behind him. Fu Yanci stopped and turned to look at the person who came.

"Your Highness, what you want to talk about is the Third Prince's affairs?"

The prince's eyes were gentle, and he shook his head slightly: "No, it's your business."

The two walked side by side out of the hall until they reached an empty and deserted area.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

The prince looked helpless: "Yanci, I know you have a cold personality and treat everyone with an icy attitude, but that was in the past. Now that you have married the girl you've always dreamed of, isn't it time to change your attitude of keeping strangers away?"

P.S. The prince is here to help. It turns out that men understand men. After the prince's explanation, the male protagonist no longer hides his feelings! I also know that their relationship progress is a bit slow, but don't worry, babies, it will be here soon!
