"This is the only way I can see him now."
"Your Majesty..."
"Alright, Qingyun, you don't need to say anything more. I've already made up my mind."
Lu Hua stopped Qingyun, who was about to speak, and then walked towards Tinglan Palace in two or three steps.
——————
Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai strolled slowly along the bustling street.
"Sigh, it's really lively. It's a pity my sister didn't come out."
"Um"
"Selling candied hawthorns! Sweet and sour candied hawthorns!"
"Young master, would you like a string of candied hawthorns?"
The vendor selling candied hawthorns saw Qin Jingmu approaching and asked him a question.
"Take a string of them"
"Okay!"
The vendor was overjoyed to see someone buy his candied hawthorns; after all, he could make money!
"Young master, please take this."
The vendor took the candied hawthorn, received the money, and then gave it to Qin Jingmu.
"Brother, look, there's a place over there selling candied fruit."
With that, Qin Jingtai walked towards the candied fruit stall, saying, "Boss, I'll take some of all the candied fruits."
"Alright, young master."
When Qin Jingtai received the candied fruit he had bought, and the two were preparing to return to the city together, they saw Zou Heng.
"Brother, brother, look, it's Master!"
Hearing Qin Jingtai's words, he looked in the direction Qin Jingtai indicated and indeed saw Zou Heng.
But... who is the woman next to her?
"Zou Heng, did you hear me when I spoke to you?"
Zou Heng stopped and looked at the woman in front of him with a helpless expression.
"Miss Baili, why do I always run into you every time I leave the palace?"
Upon hearing Zou Heng's words, Baili Yao shut her mouth.
"You're lucky to have met me, and you're starting to complain?"
When Zou Heng heard Baili Yao continuing to speak, he turned around and started walking away, no longer looking back at Baili Yao.
"You must take me to the palace."
"Young Miss, why are you so eager to enter the palace?"
What is it about the palace that attracts you?
Zou Heng himself didn't realize that when he said those words, there was a hint of expectation in them.
"Yes, the little princess fascinates me."
Is it okay?
Qin Jue was a little disappointed after hearing this, but it wasn't too bad, and he casually continued...
"The princess is indeed very cute."
"Look, look, you like the little princess, of course I like her too."
"Zou Heng, please take me to the palace."
Bai Liyao rarely showed a pitiful look as she looked at Zou Heng.
But Zou Heng still refused, saying, "No."
Seeing Baili Yao's obvious disappointment, Zou Heng spoke again, "However..."
"But what?"
Baili Yao asked hesitantly.
"However, I can speak to His Majesty and see what his reaction is."
I knew you would help me.
As she spoke, Baili Yao hugged Zou Heng. Only after the hug did she realize something was wrong, so she released her grip on Zou Heng and took a step back.
He stammered, "I..."
"fine"
Before Baili Yao could finish speaking, Zou Heng said it was nothing, to avoid making Baili Yao feel awkward.
The two of them just stared at each other, and then, before one of them could speak, said, "I'll go first..."
"I'll go first..."
Both of them were stunned, then said again, "You go first."
Baili Yao laughed when she saw the two of them speaking at the same time twice.
"Then I'll go first."
"Um"
"I'm going back first, you should go back too."
Remember to tell His Majesty about my entry into the palace; don't forget.
"I understand, I won't forget."
"Then I'll be going?"
Zou Heng nodded, and Baili Yao put her hands behind her back, grabbed her left wrist with her right hand, and turned to leave.
From Baili Yao's departing figure, one can see her joy at this moment.
It was only after Zou Heng could no longer see Baili Yao that he turned around and prepared to walk towards the palace, when he saw two people standing at the very front of the road.
Qin Jingmu had a half-smile, while Qin Jingtai looked completely bewildered. Zou Heng touched his nose and continued walking forward.
What are you two doing here?
"Master, who was that woman just now? Please tell me and my brother!"
"It must be Master's beloved!"
Qin Jingmu turned to look at the spot where Baili Yao had just left, then looked at Zou Heng.
Zou Heng slapped Qin Jingmu on the shoulder. "Even if you are the Second Prince, I am still your master, right? Why are you joking with your master like that?"
Moreover, what you're doing will ruin Baili Yao's reputation.
"Did my disciple say something wrong? Why doesn't Master go back and ask himself?"
Upon hearing Qin Jingmu's words, Zou Heng tried to slap Qin Jingmu on the head, but Qin Jingmu nimbly dodged it.
"Master, is she really not the one you love?"
Master, remember to go back and ask yourself this.
After saying that, Qin Jingmu grabbed Qin Jingtai and left quickly. Zou Heng watched the two leave with a helpless expression, then shook his head and left as well.
That evening, Zou Heng returned to his quarters in the palace. Thinking about Qin Jingmu's words, "Master, isn't that your sweetheart?", he felt inexplicably agitated.
Then she thought about how she had run into Baili Yao every time she went out over the past five years.
When he first met Baili Yao, she always seemed to dislike him, talking about how he was ordered to give Ma Yuling a small punishment five years ago.
He insisted that he lacked martial virtue, and that he would secretly return to the palace without her after she fell asleep.
Later, it became a situation where every time they met, Baili Yao would pester him with questions about the princess. For example, "What did you do today, young master?" or "Did the princess do something naughty again?"
