Ancient towns in Jiangnan.
Jinjiu: "Miss, this is the most famous dessert around here."
Murong Jin looked over, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Let's go take a look."
She was more than four months pregnant, but you couldn't tell from the dress she was wearing; she wasn't showing at all.
Jinjiu had barely blinked when she saw her mistress run off. "Hey, Miss, don't run so fast!"
Miss, you're pregnant!
"Waiter, pack me a portion of all your famous pastries."
The waiter looked at the elegant young woman, his eyes flashing with amazement. "Alright, alright, please wait a moment, young lady."
Murong Jin stood there, looking at the pastry shop, where a sweet aroma wafted from within.
She's not someone who really likes sweets, but things have changed since she got pregnant; she now enjoys foods she didn't used to like.
You also need to control your diet; you can't eat certain foods, and you need to eat less of certain foods.
After packing up the things, Yi Liu behind him paid the bill and then went to the pavilion where the storyteller was to be listened to. Sitting there, Murong Jin propped her head up with her hand and stared at the storyteller on the stage.
Jinjiu and Yiliu stood at a distance, both with joyful smiles in their eyes.
"It's good that you're like this, Master."
Yi Liu hummed in agreement. "So, when do you plan to agree to be with me?"
Jin Jiu's face fell. "I didn't agree to reply to you."
Yi Liu scoffed, "What? Who was it that held me so tightly last time? Let me tell you, in my family, there's a traditional rule: once a woman touches you, you belong to her."
Jin Jiu: "..." Her ear tips were a little pink, so she ignored him.
"I've gone to see my master."
Yi Liu watched the figure walking towards the Lord, a smile playing on his lips.
...
Murong Ting was feeling drowsy. Jin Jiu came over and poured her a cup of tea, which was very light and had a faint floral fragrance.
Since becoming pregnant, Murong Jin has not drunk any strong tea, and even tea of normal strength is strictly forbidden for her.
You can drink light tea occasionally, but not too much.
Seeing Murong Jin's sleepy appearance, Jin Jiu asked her, "Miss, shall we go back to sleep?"
Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "Oh, and remember to buy a couple more books when you go back."
"Okay." Jinjiu smiled; her master's love of reading hadn't changed at all.
Back at Jin Mansion.
"By the way, did you send someone to secretly look for the old prince?"
Yi Liu: "I've already arranged for someone to go, but the master has already left the capital. The steward said he's come to Jiangnan to relax."
Murong Jin smiled and said, "I see."
She hadn't told her father about this, so the old man must have been having a hard time lately...
However, once we meet him, we might give him a surprise.
"Oh, right, and what about Miss Biao and the others..."
Murong Jin: "It's nothing."
Dai Lingyuan stayed with Yun'er, and they wouldn't stay in the capital often. They used to go to the capital because she and her father lived there, but now that they had both left, they naturally wouldn't go to the capital anymore.
"If fate allows, and they come to Jiangnan, then let's recognize them."
Yi Liu also understood that now was not the time to expose his identity. If he were discovered, his master's current life would be disrupted again.
They live in a remote town in Jiangnan. Although it is not as nice as big cities, the scenery and the people here are very pleasant and they get along very well. The people are simple, kind and honest.
On the very first day Murong Jin and her friends moved in, they met a wealthy businessman who was also their neighbor.
Murong Jin now bears the surname Jin, hence the name Jin Mansion. She is the only female head of the household here and owns several shops. Initially, she was not well-known, but as the items sold in her shops became popular, people gradually came to know the shop owner.
However, the boss never appeared; it was always the shopkeeper who was in charge.
………
"Your Majesty, you haven't slept for three days."
Zhao Delin observed that he had been dealing with various matters recently. Due to the Fifth Prince's rebellion, the imperial examination was postponed for two months, and the remaining rebels were being purged.
Those people are all dead, but His Majesty has been handling official business non-stop lately...
If this continues, my body won't be able to take it.
When Li Mingzhong arrived at the Imperial Study, he was carrying a small box. "Eunuch Zhao, I have come to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Delin shook his head. "His Majesty is inside."
"Still the same?"
"Um."
Li Mingzhong looked at the box in his hand, thinking that perhaps this could calm His Majesty down.
"The Prime Minister requests an audience."
Emperor Junlan let him in, and Li Mingzhong bowed as soon as he entered, "Your Majesty, these are things left behind by the Regent..."
Upon hearing the words "Regent," Emperor Junlan finally looked up at the box in Li Mingzhong's hand.
"Give it to me."
Upon opening it, one finds it filled with letters, especially those concerning the planning and setup of the Lingjiu Pavilion incident.
There was also a jade pendant next to it. Di Junlan's pupils shrank, and his hand trembled when he picked it up.
This was their first meeting. He gave it to Murong Jin, and at that time he still thought of her as a girl and had been thinking about her for more than ten years...
Besides some case documents, there were also some diaries about Murong Jin...
It even had some dates written on it, and it contained records of some minor events.
I met His Majesty today; he was much more obedient than I had imagined.
I discussed some matters with His Majesty today. My actions were not very mature and I still need more practice...
Hmm, how should I put it today...?
