Su Qian immediately called a few maids to go with her to pick osmanthus flowers.
Fresh osmanthus flowers have been collected, but they cannot be used to make tea.
The maid prepared dried osmanthus flowers for her. They were collected and dried last year, and now they were perfect for making osmanthus milk tea.
Su Qian said there was an osmanthus tree in the yard and she liked the smell, so the maids set up a small pot in the yard for her to use.
Lu Huan was a little curious, so he walked over to see how she made the milk tea.
Su Qian poured dried osmanthus flowers and black tea leaves into a jar, and stir-fried them over low heat for a while until the aroma of the tea came out. Then she added water and brought it to a boil. After boiling, she poured in milk and rock sugar and brought them to a boil. Finally, she filtered out the tea leaves and it was ready to drink.
A hot bowl of milk tea was handed to him, "Here, the first cup of milk tea in autumn."
This was the slogan that the milk tea shop came up with for marketing purposes when she was in school.
At that time, many people followed suit, buying a cup of milk tea and posting pictures on their Moments. Later, it evolved into sending the first cup of milk tea of autumn to the person you love, which also became a way to show goodwill and care.
Her current behavior could be considered as a reference. She had learned this method and was offering it to Lu Huan.
Su Qian: "I guarantee it's hot, and it's the first cup of milk tea in autumn."
Lu Huan took it and smelled it, and it was filled with the sweet and intoxicating fragrance of osmanthus.
In fact, he was somewhat touched in his heart, but he was still unforgiving, "I don't know if it tastes as good as you said."
Su Qian poured herself a bowl and said, "You'll know after taking a sip."
The weather was getting colder, but Su Qian liked this scene and refused to go back into the house. The maids brought two chairs and took out a blanket to cover her legs, and spread it on her legs. "Young lady, you should cover yourself up. Women cannot catch a cold, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get pregnant in the future."
Su Qian didn't care about these things at all, but she didn't want to explain more in front of others.
Lu Huan looked at her suspiciously. He still remembered what the doctor said, that the contraceptive pills she had taken before were not suitable for her constitution, and if taken for a long time, it would indeed affect pregnancy.
Although he didn't think about having a child in the future, he still had to find a doctor to take care of her body.
Only if you are strong and healthy can you accompany him until old age.
Moreover, she had been frightened and had been plotted against by Jiang Xuewei. She didn't know if she had been poisoned or if there was any residual poison in her body. She really needed to be properly treated.
This matter cannot be taken lightly.
The two of them lay on the chaise longue, admiring the autumn scenery, sipping milk tea leisurely and bickering from time to time. Fat Orange curiously jumped onto the stone table and stretched out his paws to touch the dried dates and longans on the table.
Cats are always very curious. The dried longan fell off the stone table because of it accidentally touching it. It rolled a longan for a long distance. It jumped off the stone table and chased the longan.
Su Qian laughed at its cute actions, and Lu Huan also looked at her with a smile in his eyes. His gaze gradually became hot, and the emotions in his eyes could no longer be ignored.
He thought it would be nice if it could always be like this.
…
…
Before he knew it, it was already late at night. Inside a magnificent golden tent outside Qingzhou City, Ge Bulu lit a lamp and walked to the map. He said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Why don't you have dinner first?"
Machi was a straightforward person. "Yes, you haven't had a proper meal in several days. If you continue like this, you will fall ill before you can get the goddess back."
Yan Xuanye glanced up at him coldly, his voice firm and full of unshakable pressure, "I am in good health, how could I fall ill?"
All he wanted now was to find Su Qian as quickly as possible and bring her back.
Time was already running out for him. Even the siege seemed too slow, so he had no time to eat.
"Has the Qingzhou Governor known about our movements?"
Ge Bulu shook his head. "We were acting covertly, so we probably haven't noticed yet. But...even if they did, what would happen? Qingzhou has no generals guarding it, and there aren't many soldiers. If we attack them unexpectedly, they'll probably be caught off guard too."
Yan Xuanye: "That's good. Tell the brothers to set up tents and fences here first. After resting, we can start the siege!"
The solemn and murderous aura and the majesty of a superior made everyone present submit to him, and they all said in unison, "Yes!"
…
A few days later, Lu Huan brought Su Qian to Shangjing City. He first ordered Zitan to send Su Qian back to the general's mansion, and then he went to the palace with Gao Jiarong to meet the emperor.
After resting on the road for a while, Gao Jiarong looked a little better, but she was no longer the glamorous Princess Nankang.
The torture of these days made her lose her former arrogance and vitality, especially after learning about Lu Guang's death. She seemed to have lost the motivation to live and was like a walking corpse.
Lu Huan did not change out of his court robes and entered the palace in casual clothes. Gao Jiarong did the same. After a long journey, Lu Huan did not even let her rest for a while.
It was not the time for court meetings, but there were several officials in the emperor's back hall discussing matters.
Eunuch Tai Hong bowed respectfully towards them both and said joyfully, "Princess Nankang, you are finally back! His Majesty was very anxious!"
Gao Jiarong said weakly, "I'm sorry to have caused my brother so much trouble. It's my fault."
Tai Hong: "No, no, Princess, you still have to take good care of yourself. You have suffered a lot these days."
After he finished speaking, he gave Lu Huan another ingratiating smile, "Hello, General Lu, you saved the princess, and the emperor wants to reward you."
Lu Huan spoke calmly, his face extremely respectful, "This is what a subject should do. I dare not ask for a reward."
As he was speaking, the palace door was opened by the eunuchs, and several officials in official robes walked out. Lu Huan glanced at them casually and found that they were all acquaintances. One of them was his colleague during the imperial examination.
Several officials saluted Gao Jiarong, then turned around and wanted to greet him, but Lu Huanli ignored them and walked straight into the hall. Several officials looked at each other, exchanged glances, then shook their heads and left Guande Hall.
Lu Huan and Gao Jiarong walked into the hall, and they both bowed to the emperor.
When the emperor on the dragon throne saw Gao Jiarong coming back, he hurried over, helped her up with his own hands, and looked at her face carefully.
Seeing her sunken cheeks and pale face, he said distressedly, "Jiarong has lost a lot of weight. I think he has suffered a great hardship this time."
"My brother has asked Dr. Li to accompany you back, and has also assigned a chef who specializes in making medicinal meals to accompany you back to the Princess's residence."
Ever since Gao Jiarong married Lu Guang and became his second wife, she has been living with Lu Guang in the general's mansion, and the princess's mansion is just a decoration at best.
Now that Lu Guang is gone and Gao Jiarong has returned after suffering this disaster, the emperor wants her to move back into the princess's residence. It's clear that he is worried about Lu Huan. It seems that he has indeed become suspicious of himself.
