Chapter 421 He just needs to endure for a few more days

"It's Coptis chinensis." Lu Heng told Lu Li what he was looking for.

The new medicine he developed requires this one medicinal ingredient.

Lu Li quickly found it through the Chigua system and told them the address of the medicinal materials.

It’s on Qilin Mountain in Anping City.

"Qilin Mountain?" Lu Can became interested as soon as he heard it.

"I heard from the innkeeper that there is a Lingzhao Temple on Qilin Mountain, and there is a peach forest in the Lingzhao Temple. Every year, there are many peaches, and because there are too many, the monks in the temple cannot eat them all, and the peaches will go bad. This is too wasteful. So every year when the peaches are ripe, the abbot of Lingzhao Temple will let the first 108 pilgrims pick peaches for free."

"According to the time, it seems that tomorrow is the day to pick the fruits."

When he heard the word peach, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up: "I like peaches!"

He called out "Ninth Sister" softly, and then looked at Lu Li expectantly.

"Okay, let's go pick peaches." Lu Li agreed readily.

"The weather tomorrow will be good. Brother San and his wife will go to collect herbs. After we pick peaches, we will hunt some game in the mountains. Sister will prepare barbecue for you."

"That's great!!!" Lu Can and Lu Xuan said at the same time, with brilliant smiles on their faces.

So, tomorrow's schedule is finalized.

The next morning, Long Aotian had fully recovered and appeared beside Lu Li in good health.

"Good morning, Miss Nine! Good morning, two young masters!" He bared his teeth and greeted Lu Li and the others.

After he recovered, he naturally let Batian go back to look after his two younger brothers, while he continued to accompany the Crown Princess.

After all, the family title will be inherited by the younger sister in the future.

He had to enter the palace and become the husband of the Crown Princess.

"As long as you've recovered, let's go." Lu Li glanced at him, confirmed that he was fine, and asked him to help carry the things and set off.

Compared with his brilliant smile, Fengqi's face looked particularly gloomy.

He didn't expect that after Long Aotian fell ill, he would pay more attention to Lu Li.

Feng Qi brought the little parrot out and let it fly onto Long Aotian's shoulder.

"Please take good care of Xiao Huang for me and don't let it fly away."

Long Aotian was a little confused: "Don't you know how to control the beast? Xiao Huang listens to you, why do you want me to watch?"

"You are my follower now. Isn't it your duty to help me watch it?" Fengqi was very calm.

Long Aotian remembered the bet he made with him and had to look after Xiao Huang reluctantly.

He comforted himself: The bet is one month, and in a few days, the month will be over.

He just needs to endure it for a few more days.

"Xiao Huang needs to eat glutinous rice once every hour. Remember to feed it ten grains at a time. If it is awake, chat with it for a while, then feed it water, and comb its hair after it finishes drinking water. When you take it up the mountain, remember not to let those big birds scare it." Feng Qi instructed again.

Long Aotian widened his eyes.

Is this taking care of a parrot? Is this serving the ancestors?

"Is it necessary to take it out if it's so troublesome?" he couldn't help but ask.

"You can also choose to take care of it in the inn." Fengqi smiled.

Lu Can, who was standing by, heard this and secretly glanced at Feng Qi.

How come he remembered that Fengqi never took such good care of Xiao Huang on weekdays?

But he was a man of few words, and it was Fengqi's porridge that day that saved his stomach which had been poisoned by the Third Emperor's wife.

He'd better not expose him.

Besides, Brother Long eats too much. If we bring him along, the meat that Sister Nine grills might not be enough for him.

Let's just forget it.

"No, then I'll take Xiao Huang with me. Miss Nine needs me." Long Aotian was determined to infiltrate Lu Li's harem, so he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to accompany her.

Feng Qi didn't try to stop him anymore, since Xiao Huang was holding him back anyway.

When they reached the foot of the mountain and met Lu Heng and his wife, they walked up the mountain together.

Although it was only a short time after dawn, there were already quite a few people on the way up the mountain.

After all, Lingzhao Temple is open for peach picking today.

The peaches in the temple have Buddha nature, spiritual energy, and are free. Everyone wants to get a piece of this blessing.

Lu Li thought they had arrived early, but unexpectedly they were stuck at number 101.

But there were nine of them.

One person has to stay outside.

Lu Li looked around, wondering who to keep.

She, Lu Xuan, Lu Can, and the three royal brothers and sisters-in-law must go in, so the candidate must be chosen from Feng Qi, Qin Xiao, Long Aotian, and Qu Songnian.

Feng Qi gave a look to Xiao Huang who was resting on Long Aotian's shoulder.

Feeling the pressure, Xiao Huang immediately cried out.

"I'm hungry. I'm hungry."

Everyone's eyes fell on Long Aotian.

Long Aotian looked at Feng Qi.

Why does he feel that Xiao Huang's sudden disturbance is related to this guy?

But Fengqi didn't say a word and he had no evidence.

Seeing Lu Li about to speak, he quickly said, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay and take care of Xiao Huang."

Instead of asking the Crown Princess to keep him, it would be better for him to take the initiative to ask for leave so that the Crown Princess would think that he is sensible.

"Since you are willing to stay, we will go in first. Xiao Huang and the carriage are left to you." Lu Li made arrangements.

"Brother Aotian, I will definitely pick the biggest and sweetest peach for you later." Qu Songnian saw his disappointment and hurried to comfort him.

"Okay." Long Aotian nodded and reluctantly watched them enter the temple and walk towards the peach forest.

As soon as Lu Xuan entered the peach forest, he jumped up and down with joy like a bear entering a honey pot.

There were too many people, and he couldn't just use his long arms to pick peaches for fear of scaring others.

So he used his hands and feet to climb up the tree nimbly and picked the biggest and reddest peach.

He was about to take a bite, but after thinking for a moment, he wiped his clothes, then climbed down the tree, ran to Lu Li, and handed the beautiful peach to Lu Li.

"Ninth sister, you eat."

Lu Can:!

He was careless. Why didn't he think of picking peaches for his ninth sister quickly?

Fengqi:?

How did this elephant accomplish what he was going to do?

"Thank you, Xuan'er." Lu Li took the peach with a smile.

"Let me wash it." Feng Qi reacted quickly, opened the kettle at her waist, and washed the peaches for Lu Li.

"Thank you." Lu Li took a bite of the crispy peach and felt very happy.

Qu Songnian picked a peach, took a bite, and watched the scene with a heavy heart.

Brother Aotian couldn't come in and couldn't show off in front of the Crown Princess, and Fengqi was so considerate.

It seems that it will be extremely difficult for Brother Aotian to enter the Crown Princess' harem!

After Lu Xuan gave Lu Li peaches, he went climbing trees everywhere to pick peaches.

When his own basket was full, he would go to help Lu Can pick the peaches. In short, he had no time to spare since he entered the peach forest.

In less than half an hour, several people's baskets were filled.

Lu Li looked at the baskets full of peaches, took out a banknote, and asked Qin Xiao to go and donate money to the temple before leaving.

As soon as they came out of the temple, they saw a woman crying breathlessly in front of Long Aotian.
