In early spring, the spring rain falls continuously.
It would be fine if the ice and snow melted, but unfortunately, the snow was half melted, but a lot of it still accumulated, and the weather in Shengjing became wet and cold.
Qin Yuyao used to practice boxing with Luan Zhengya to exercise her body, and her physical fitness was actually better than Jin Yu and Qing Yu. After all, these two girls fell ill at the beginning of spring.
The three of them grew up together, and Qin Yuyao was unwilling to let the two of them follow her despite being sick.
"Don't worry, the prince has been with me every day these days, so he doesn't need you two for the time being. You should take good care of yourself." Qin Yuyao looked at Jin Yu lying on the bed with a gentle smile. She said the same thing in Qingyu's room just now.
Seeing Jin Yu was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, Qin Yuyao smiled and helped her to press the quilt before leaving the room.
When he returned to the study, he saw Luan Zhengya sitting at his desk, reading something. He was a little surprised. In the past, when he was grading papers, he never came to see them. Why did he become so curious today?
After taking a few steps over, he saw that he was engrossed in looking at his own memorials.
"I just remembered this because a lot of servants in the mansion have been sick recently. Although the outside world has been prosperous and peaceful, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, there are still some poor people who lack food and clothing. I thought of using the name of promotion to find some capable people among these people and use them to provide disaster relief."
Qin Yuyao's voice was very soft. Luan Zhengya had actually noticed it when she came in, but she was thinking about it in her heart, so she took the opportunity to listen to Qin Yuyao's opinion.
Seeing that she was close, he simply put his arm around her waist and pulled her onto his legs. He held Qin Yuyao's fingertips and seeing that they were still a little cold, he simply didn't let go.
"This matter involves many people. You don't have to go up for everything. Just let the King of Zhennan take care of it." Luan Zhengya held Qin Yuyao's hand for a while, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was warm.
A few days ago, Qin Yuyao had just become the Minister of Rites, and she was a little nervous at first. Fortunately, she had the guidance of Luan Zhengya, a "master teacher," and she was no fool. She quickly took to the job like a duck to water, doing her duties well, and naturally the civil and military officials who watched her were speechless.
"Why is that? Since it was my suggestion, if Prince Zhennan is asked to report it, if he does something wrong, wouldn't it ruin the relationship between the two families?" Qin Yuyao was puzzled. Now that she and Ye Jiajia have a good relationship, the relationship between Prince Zhennan's Mansion and Prince Zhen'an's Mansion has become closer.
"Xiao Chengjing came to me for help, and I wanted to find a way to create some opportunities for him. Now that the Prince of Zhennan has submitted a petition, he can gain some fame. When the time comes, I will suggest starting from the border, which will naturally allow Xiao Chengjing and the Prince of Zhennan to communicate more."
Luan Zhengya hugged Qin Yuyao, her voice low and mixed with a hint of helplessness, which made Qin Yuyao laugh out loud.
It wasn't their place to interfere in the relationship between these two people, but ever since the palace banquet, no matter how Xiao Chengjing pursued her and expressed his admiration for her, Ye Jiajia was unwilling to confront him head-on.
Later, he got tired of it and simply went directly to Prince Zhen'an's mansion to find Qin Yuyao, but the topic was always about Xiao Chengjing.
At first, Luan Zhengya thought it was nothing special for this man to chat with her princess occasionally. But as time went on, he actually proposed to live in the Prince Zhen'an Mansion.
Suddenly, Luan Zhengya looked at Ye Jiajia like a sparrow in the morning, chirping and annoying. Not to mention that she was there for lunch and dinner, so if she tried to make any intimate moves, Qin Yuyao would avoid her nine times out of ten.
The worst time was the day before yesterday. Luan Zhengya saw that the weather was good and not too cold outside, so he thought of taking Qin Yuyao to the pavilion in the small garden of the palace to enjoy the scenery and play the piano.
Qin Yuyao had wanted to learn some more piano skills before, but Luan Zhengya was busy some time ago, and later it became Qin Yuyao who was too busy.
Since we have time today, why not play the piano together? It would be a wonderful thing. However, the two of them just sat down in the pavilion. When they saw Qin Yuyao playing the piano next to them, the person in their arms had beautiful eyes full of affection.
The two were very close, and Luan Zhengya was about to lower her head to kiss her, when she heard Ye Jiajia scream "Aiya" outside, and the next moment she fell from the chair to the ground.
Qin Yuyao blushed: "Zhengya, let's stop for today. Jiajia must have something important to ask me."
It was clear that just a moment ago, the two of them were in perfect harmony and full of affection. How come in the blink of an eye, he was the one left behind?
Luan Zhengya blinked. He had naturally been petty and blamed Ye Jiajia and Xiao Chengjing for this matter. However, he couldn't directly explain it to his own princess. If he didn't tell her, she would be laughed at, and secondly, his plan might be thwarted.
"After all, Ye Jiajia comes to see you every day, and three out of five conversations she has are about that kid Xiao Chengjing. It's obvious that both of them are embarrassed, otherwise they wouldn't come to you for advice. Why not take this opportunity to bring the two families closer together?" Luan Zhengya patiently persuaded, and every word she said made sense.
Qin Yuyao, who had originally planned to ask for help herself, immediately felt that it made sense after hearing this. She nodded and began to think about whether handing the matter over to the Queen of Zhennan could help Ye Jiajia solve her current troubles.
Luan Zhengya had made this suggestion after careful consideration in order to get rid of Ye Jiajia, the unnecessary person. Seeing that Qin Yuyao was still lost in thought, she did not rush to interrupt.
A quarter of an hour later, seeing that Qin Yuyao was still thinking, Luan Zhengya's eyes involuntarily fell on her rosy lips.
Knowing that his princess was not in good health in early spring, the stove was still burning in the study, and the heat made her cheeks slightly red.
As he stared at her, Luan Zhengya couldn't help but lean over and gently bit the red lips that fascinated him.
As for the handover?
When Xiao Chengjing got the news, he understood his boss very well. Naturally, he was happy to agree. After all, as long as he was given a chance, he believed that it was possible for him and Miss Ye to be together.
You ask the Prince of Zhennan? When he first got the news, he was a little confused and just looked at what Luan Zhengya said in the letter.
Xiao Chengjing was a man of integrity and integrity. He was known among the officers and men in the army as an excellent lieutenant and subordinate. Although he wasn't always victorious in the battles he participated in, he did win many, and the soldiers he led generally returned intact.
It can be seen that Xiao Chengjing has good abilities, prospects and character. When you think about it, his daughter is now eighteen years old, which can be considered an adult girl in other families.
So the Prince of Zhennan packed up his things and wrote a memorial to the emperor, asking His Majesty to bring the two together.
When Ye Jiajia heard the news, she was stunned: "Father? What does this have to do with me?"
"You are the newly appointed princess by His Majesty. It is also a face for the royal family to have you come forward in this matter. Naturally, it is the best of both worlds." Prince Zhennan brought out the words that had been prepared long ago. He knew his own daughter well.
Ye Jiajia believed this excuse, but before she followed the team, she immediately lowered the curtain after seeing who the young silver-armored general leading the troops was.
"Princess? Is there something urgent happening outside?" The maid who followed Ye Jiajia in the carriage asked cautiously.
Shaking her head, Ye Jiajia muttered to herself: "How could it be him? Doesn't the capital need anyone anymore?" Xiao Chengjing had been very attentive to her these days, and she knew all these things.
It's just that my heart is a little confused, so I don't want to think about it as a love story between a man and a woman. But now, looking at the look in the other person's face when he looks at me, it is clearly love.
Outside the carriage, there was a regular knocking sound. Before Ye Jiajia could speak, the maid beside her went out to take a look.
After a while, a maid came in with a smile on her face, holding an extremely soft pillow in her hand. "Princess, General Xiao was worried that you must be tired from the journey, so he specially sent a pillow over. This maid thinks it's better than ours."
During marches and battles, Xiao Chengjing always had to sleep in the open air, so it took him a lot of thought to make a pillow and send it to him.
Ye Jiajia had thought that Xiao Chengjing would come to harass her right from the start. Who would have thought that, except for sending food and toys during breaks or when the train was parked, he would rarely show up.
Until the convoy arrived at Chizhou outside Shengjing. Although this place was close to Shengjing, it was close to the sea and the local people had little arable land, so they could only make a living by other means.
This time, Ye Jiajia, as the princess, brought the food, looms and other items from the capital and handed them over to the local prefect.
It’s just that I don’t know whether the Chizhou prefect had already inquired about it or got the news from somewhere else.
Seeing Ye Jiajia, he smiled with wrinkles on his face and bent over and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you. Thank you for helping the people of Chizhou. How about I host a welcoming party for you tonight?"
As he spoke, fearing that Ye Jiajia would refuse, he said, "Chizhou rarely has nobles from the capital come here on weekdays. We also want to report some of our difficulties to the princess. If the princess can talk to His Majesty and other ministers after returning, it will help the people of Chizhou solve their problems."
The Chizhou prefect's words were flawless, and Ye Jiajia subconsciously looked at Xiao Chengjing who was standing not far from her.
Receiving Ye Jiajia's gaze, Xiao Chengjing smiled slightly. He immediately strode over and stood in front of Ye Jiajia, slightly sideways. The Chizhou prefect looked at the tall and strong young man in front of him, and his expression changed slightly.
"General Xiao, is there something wrong?" The prefect of Chizhou swallowed subconsciously, feeling that this general was more majestic than the imperial guards he had seen in the past when he went to Beijing.
Although he knew that the Chizhou prefect had ulterior motives, Xiao Chengjing did not intend to put pressure on him directly, but he thought of Ye Jiajia behind him.
Xiao Chengjing raised his lips and said, "No need to be so polite, Prefect. I'm here to escort the princess. Tonight's welcoming banquet should be kept simple. After all, we're here to provide disaster relief."
The word "disaster relief" is very serious. If the Chizhou prefect is still stubborn, he will naturally investigate thoroughly to find out whether this prefect is used to abusing power in Chizhou and dares to commit crimes against the wind.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. The Chizhou prefect nodded hurriedly: "General Xiao is right. We should be more frugal."
After saying that, he hurriedly bowed to Ye Jiajia and said, "Princess, it was my fault. Please have a good rest tonight. I will come back tomorrow morning to discuss disaster relief with you."
