Shortly after the disaster relief team left Mingyan County, the rain began to intensify.
Since the marching speed couldn't be increased, Qin Zhaoyue didn't bother herself and immediately climbed into the carriage.
Even after changing into clean clothes, I still felt a bit sticky.
Moisture seeped into every nook and cranny, and the earthy smell enveloped the sandalwood, giving it a rather strange aroma.
Qin Zhaoyue lifted the carriage curtain and looked out into the rain.
She has loved rain since she was a child. Whether it's a light drizzle or a downpour, looking out the window from inside the house always makes her feel calm.
Just like now...
"Tsk, filthy stuff."
Pei Xueqiao, who was traveling on the right side of the carriage: ?
As the curtains fell, his chest heaved violently, and he tightened his grip on the reins.
Qin Zhaoyue pursed her lips; she wasn't emotionally naive.
In such a large place as the central formation, there were twenty or thirty officials accompanying her, yet Pei Xueqiao happened to be right next to her carriage.
And considering his willingness to stay when treating patients, and his hesitation when they occasionally met, it was clear what he was thinking.
Saying I like him would be an exaggeration; it's more like curiosity and fondness.
I can understand, after all, she was incredibly beautiful, which was one of the few advantages of the original owner of this body.
More importantly, if you start from a low point and have a bad reputation, you can easily attract attention by doing anything positive, just like students who are good at studying and students who are bad at studying.
If someone who's always been number one suddenly gets second or third place, everyone will wonder what happened.
Teachers have to talk to him to see if he's under too much pressure lately or if he's secretly dating.
But try getting third from last place, even if you're always last.
No one passing by could help but glance at him, and even the teachers had to praise him.
Qin Zhaoyue was the "last place" in the class. She was already in such a bad state, but after making a suggestion, she was assigned to join the disaster relief team.
If the Pei family gets involved, what will happen?
To reiterate, Pei Xueqiao is not a good match, and indeed, he is a scoundrel.
If the right side doesn't work, try the left, but the curtains are only halfway open...
It was intentional, it must have been intentional!
Sensing being watched, Meng Jian turned his head. "What's wrong, Sixth Prince?"
Qin Zhaoyue's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
Are you kidding me? Are you cosplaying as the left and right guardians?
Pei Xueqiao is a filthy thing, and Meng Jian is nothing but a filthy thing with eight-pack abs!
The Meng family has been extremely secretive about this; apart from the younger members of the family gaining experience, none of them serve in any military unit outside the capital region.
They stayed in their small territory of Fengjing and never married into other military families, let alone the imperial family.
The Pei family was involved in literature and politics, while the Meng family was involved in the military and in the capital. Comparatively speaking, the latter posed a greater threat.
"Your Highness?" Seeing that the gaze was fixed on his face, Meng Jian straightened his chest and glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the figure following the carriage on his right.
Qin Zhaoyue snapped out of her daze, her expression listless and unpleasant.
Being able to look at something but not eat it is more annoying than not being able to look at it at all.
"Are you crazy?"
Huh? Meng Jian's breath hitched. What was this sudden malice all about?
"No."
"Heh," Qin Zhaoyue sneered, "Hero Meng, there's no need to force yourself. Taking the divine medicine to break through your realm must have caused you considerable internal injuries."
We're just traveling now, so we should use this time to recover properly.
“Uh…” Meng Jian was speechless.
As the person with the highest cultivation level in the public eye, his "injury" is a good cover-up.
Whether it's a potential threat to the princess or a newly emerging illegal minting case, both can lull the enemy into a false sense of security.
However, she had just noticed that the Pei family boy was dawdling and sneaking over, and feeling annoyed, she unconsciously moved closer, forgetting for a moment that she was going to put on a full act.
The imperial guards around Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but agree with her, thinking that the Sixth Princess was quite reasonable.
"Commander..." Just as the guards were about to persuade him, they saw Meng Jian clutch his chest.
"Commander! Let's listen to His Highness and go back to the carriage to recover first."
"Yes, it's nothing more than a military march. We will certainly protect Your Highness's carriage."
What could Meng Jian do but comply and slow down the pace?
However, before leaving, he glanced at the right side of the car again.
Pei Xueqiao almost ground her teeth to powder.
A great hero... indeed, that is true, and that sword strike was as celestial as a divine being...
It was precisely because it was true that it made him feel even worse.
Now, in addition to being "muscular" and having "eight-pack abs," he also has the advantage of being a "great hero."
Completely losing interest in watching the rain, Qin Zhaoyue thought she might have misremembered.
She has never liked rainy days; sunny days are just fine.
The broken ink remained silent.
Pei Xueqiao and Meng Jian were both top-tier young masters in the capital. If either of them showed any interest in marriage, their doorsteps would be overwhelmed with suitors.
Unfortunately, according to the princess's opinion, these two were the worst choices, so it's no wonder she was in a bad mood.
As I was thinking this, my gaze fell on her.
"Erqin, can you play any musical instrument? The seven-stringed zither, the se, the zheng, the konghou, the xiqin?"
Broken Ink: ...
"Your Highness, my name is Suimo."
"Don't be like that. We're just killing time anyway, let's chat about the erhu."
Broken Ink: !
Is he tormenting her because he's in a bad mood? He really is that awful Sixth Prince!
She sighed deeply and stepped out of the carriage without saying a word.
"Keep a close watch on His Highness, I'm going to take a nap in the back."
"yes!"
Qin Zhaoyue was the only one left in the carriage. She lay down lazily, closed her eyes as the carriage swayed, and connected her consciousness with the book of merit in her mind.
Sure enough, the page on "Floods" had new text:
In Mingyan County, Qingyao Prefecture, Princess Qin Zhaoyue proposed a method to purify water, treat critically ill patients, and provide a black powder formula to dredge the landslide-dammed lake.
