Outside the palace, Fu Xue'er looked eastward at the people coming and going on the street. From time to time, she would turn her head and ask the guards at the gate, "Brother, the other brother just entered the palace for a long time. Why hasn't he come out yet?"
The gatekeeper saw that Fu Xueer was pretty and cute, and he also wanted to tease her.
The guard at the gate said, "Young lady, why are you in such a hurry? The palace is so big, and it will take my colleagues at least an hour to get there. How about this? I'll be changing shifts soon. After that, can you accompany me out for some tea?"
Fu Xue'er was so frightened that she immediately took a few steps away from the guards at the gate. She said timidly, "I... I don't know you, why should I go to have tea with you?"
"Little girl, don't be so scared. I'm not a bad person. I have a legitimate job. I'm much better than those people outside."
“…”
Fu Xueer didn't dare to talk to the gate guard. She retreated to the corner of the wall alone, but this position happened to allow her to see the situation at the palace gate.
After waiting for half an incense stick of time, another gatekeeper brought Ji Jingyu out.
As soon as Fu Xueer saw Ji Jingyu, she immediately ran to him happily.
"Master Ji, you finally came out."
Ji Jingyu looked at Fu Xueer expressionlessly and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? Tell me quickly. I'm still on duty!"
Fu Xue'er seemed to be accustomed to Ji Jingyu's indifference. She smiled and said without caring at all, "It's like this. Doctor Xue said she prepared some medicine for you, and she asked me to bring it to you."
"Oh, thanks."
After taking the medicine from Fu Xueer, Ji Jingyu turned around and was about to leave. Fu Xueer immediately called out, "Master Ji, wait a moment. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
Ji Jingyu stayed where he was. He didn't even look back at Fu Xueer. The same cold voice still came out of his mouth.
"If you have anything to say, please say it quickly."
“…”
She suddenly felt a little sad, but Fu Xueer felt that Ji Jingyu's personality was rather cold, so she told herself that when Ji Jingyu understood her true feelings in the future, he would change.
Forcefully forcing a smile, Fu Xue'er said, "It's like this. You've been in the palace for two or three days now. My father really wants to know how my sister is doing in the palace. Have you seen my sister during the time you've been there?"
Fu Jingyu remembered that he had promised Master Fu to take care of Fu Xiner, but thinking about the things that Fu Xiner had done that almost killed Mu Chaoyun, he said with a gloomy face: "Tell Master Fu that she... is fine!"
"Really? That's great. Could you please tell my sister that I miss her so much and haven't seen her for a long time? I go to her room every night and I asked the servants to clean her room..."
"Okay, I'll tell her this. I need to go back to the palace. I'm really on duty."
Interrupting Fu Xueer's chatter, Ji Jingyu turned around and was about to return to the palace. However, when he reached the palace gate, he suddenly turned his head and said to Fu Xueer, "By the way... tell your father that my friend has booked a banquet at Yujing Tower tomorrow night. If your father and his friend are free tomorrow night, please invite them to meet at Yujing Tower after 3 p.m. Remember to tell your father about this."
