Ah Li did not receive a meeting from Prime Minister Shen at the General's Mansion, but instead received an invitation from Princess Xian to a plum blossom viewing banquet.
Queen Hyeon holds a plum blossom viewing banquet every year. Plum blossoms usually bloom in the cold winter.
There is a large area of ββplum blossoms on the back hill of Ansan Temple. They bloom once every April and are a wonder of the capital. That piece of land belongs to King Hyeon, and Queen Hyeon invites the ladies of the capital to enjoy the flowers every year.
Ali had just married Gu Qichuan, so naturally she was also a guest of honor of Princess Xian.

When he received the invitation, Gu Qichuan was having dinner with Ali.
"What is the character of Princess Xian?" Ah Li looked at Gu Qichuan.
"King Hyun is upright and honest, and Queen Hyun is also famous for her kindness and generosity. King Hyun and Queen Hyun are a rare monogamous couple in the royal family, and King Hyun has always respected Queen Hyun."
"I like men like this." Ali said seriously.
Gu Qichuan raised his hand and pinched Ah Li's cheek, "You can only like me as a man."
Ah Li chuckled.
"I'll go with you."
Ah Li smiled and said, "Are you afraid that Prime Minister Shen will do something to me?"
Gu Qichuan nodded.
During this period, Prime Minister Shen turned a deaf ear to the rumors outside. On the surface, he seemed to be prepared to deal with it coldly, but who knows if he actually has any other plans.
Gu Qichuan would not underestimate a prime minister who had been a powerful figure in the court for nearly ten years.
Prime Minister Shen was able to hold this position because he is calculating, ruthless and cold-hearted.
Gu Qichuan didn't think that he would just sit there and do nothing while they plotted against him. It wasn't that easy to take revenge.
Now they want revenge, but it happens that Prime Minister Shen is weak and the emperor does not trust him. Their fight with Prime Minister Shen is largely relying on the power of the emperor. Gu Qichuan and Ali are well aware of this.
After all, they lived in a feudal society where imperial power was supreme. Only by standing on the side of imperial power could they eliminate the people they wanted to eliminate.
After lunch, the two of them walked around in the garden for a while.
Now Gu Qichuan can walk on his own. His legs have recovered and he starts practicing every morning. He wants to protect Ah Li and himself.
The scars on his face had been completely removed, and Gu Qichuan just wore a mask out of habit.
"When we go to King Hyun's flower viewing party, you will take off your mask and let everyone see that your face has completely recovered."
"Then I will reopen my pharmacy and sell scar removal cream."
Ah Li raised her eyes and looked at Gu Qichuan, looking at him gently, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the plum blossom viewing banquet.
Gu Qichuan and A Li got on the general's carriage early in the morning and headed for Anshan Temple.
They had just walked halfway when they were suddenly blocked by a huge tree in front of them.
Gu Qichuan frowned. Since Princess Xian had invited everyone to appreciate the plum blossoms, there would definitely be people patrolling this section of the road. If there really was a problem, it would have been dealt with long ago.
When they arrived, the tree was across the road, which showed that someone was there and had calculated the time to block their way.
Suddenly, dozens of masked men emerged from the woods on both sides and fought with these people together with the guards they brought with them.
Gu Qichuan also joined the fight. He was very skilled in Kung Fu and quickly knocked down everyone near the carriage.
Ah Li sat quietly in the carriage. She didn't know martial arts and would only cause trouble if she went out, so it was better for her to stay quietly in the carriage.
Soon, a group of archers shot arrows at them from a distance, and Gu Qichuan was forced to leave the carriage.
A black shadow passed through the crowd and landed directly on the carriage, turning the carriage around and heading off into the distance.
Gu Qichuan and his men chased for a while, but they couldn't catch up anymore.
Gu Qichuan was not in a hurry. He looked not far away and saw another carriage coming towards them from the small road.
Ali jumped off the carriage and Gu Qichuan reached out to catch her.
They all knew that they would be ambushed on the road today, so how could they get on the carriage so unprepared and with so few guards?
The woman sitting in the carriage was not Ah Li, but someone who pretended to be Ah Li and got in the carriage with Gu Qichuan.
They also deliberately let the fake Ali in the car be captured.
On another road, Gu Qichuan had already asked people from Jingzhao Prefecture to secretly follow the carriage, and those who would be caught would be the bandits who attempted to hijack the families of court officials.
No one can bear this accusation, and the one who should panic is the mastermind behind it.
"Are you injured?" Ah Li looked at Gu Qichuan and examined him carefully.
"no."
Gu Qichuan looked at Ah Li and said gently, "You still have to be careful. I'm afraid they have spent a lot of money on this plot. In addition to the ambush, they must have a backup plan."
Ah Li nodded and said, "I have prepared everything to protect myself."
Ah Li patted her small bag and waved her hands so that Gu Qichuan could see clearly that she had brought a lot of medicine powder that she had prepared in advance.
"When you get there, try to stay close to me. If you have to separate from me, be careful and avoid drinking or eating as much as possible."
Ah Li nodded, "I came out after having a full meal. There are some snacks in the carriage. Let's eat some later."
Ali took Gu Qichuan's hand, and the two of them got on the carriage again.
They arrived at Anshan Temple smoothly.
When Princess Xian knew that Gu Qichuan and A Li had arrived, she immediately had A Li brought to her.
Princess Hyeon is a woman with a gentle appearance. She is not the kind of woman who looks gorgeous at first glance, but she is particularly attractive the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. She also has a gentle temperament.
Ah-ri bows to Queen Hyeon.
"You are General Gu's new wife, Ah Li." Princess Hyun spoke softly.
"She is indeed a beautiful lady. Ah Li, don't be so reserved. Be more casual. When the plum blossom viewing banquet begins, you can stay with the general."
"yes."
"I heard that it was you who cured General Gu's leg disease and removed the scar on his face," said Queen Hyeon.
Ah Li nodded, "Ah Li learned some medical skills from my mother when I was young, and happened to remember some ancient prescriptions."
"Ari, I'm so sorry." Princess Hyun held Ari's hand and said, "I have something I want to ask Ari for help with."
"Princess, please speak."
"I was injured in an accident a few years ago and have a scar on my shoulder. I would like to ask Ali to help me see if it can be removed."
"If possible, this princess is willing to pay ten thousand gold coins to buy Ah Li's magic scar removal medicine."
Ali felt a little embarrassed, thinking that 10,000 gold was indeed a bit too expensive.
She spoke in a gentle voice, "You are too polite, Princess. Ah Li is willing to give you scar removal medicine, but I only ask for one favor."
"What is it, please tell me, Ali."
Princess Hyun was in a good mood. She felt that Ah Li was not the kind of person who did not know her limits, but she made a request when she asked him to help remove the scar.
She is very curious.
Ah Li smiled and said, "Ah Li wants to come here to collect herbs in the future, please allow me to do so, Princess."
