Chapter 42: Forgetting Worries
Ye Ruoyan is now in a difficult situation.
Originally according to the prince's instructions, she could not agree to give Ye Jinshu the secret bag no matter what, but now Lin Shi got involved.
He has a good feeling towards Lin Shiye Ruoyan. He is a simple-minded marquis and is straightforward in his kindness to her.
Even though she knew that Lin Shi's fiancée was the daughter of the current prime minister, she still couldn't hate this man for his concern without any desire.
She knew that in this era there were many political marriages and people were forced to do things against their will, even herself.
Besides, from an emotional point of view, Lin Shi had done her a favor and she couldn't just sit back and watch.
From a rational point of view, with things developing in this way, choosing Lin Shi is more advantageous than choosing the prince.
Although she disobeyed the prince, judging from the prince's attitude towards Ye Jinshu, he should not like a doll that merely obeys him.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Ruoyan finally spoke: "Please forgive me, sister. I will go get the sachet to prevent poison now."
Ye Jinshu felt comfortable: "Go ahead."
Ye Ruoyan quickly returned to the house and brought out a sachet, but it looked different from the Queen's. If you had to say, this one looked a little plainer and not as gorgeous as the Queen's.
But this is as it should be. What you give to others cannot be the same as what you give to the queen.
Seeing Ye Ruoyan taking something out, Xiao Cui went up to get it.
"If I give this to my sister, will she really let Young Marquis Lin go?"
Ye Jinshu nodded: "Of course."
After Ye Ruoyan confirmed it, she spoke again: "I want to hand it to my sister in person, is that okay?"
Ye Jinshu got the sachet and was in a good mood. He nodded, "Okay."
Ye Jinshu did think it was okay, but Xiao Cui beside her didn't think so. She stared at Ye Ruoyan for fear that she would do something weird again.
Fortunately, Ye Ruoyan just handed over the sachet quietly, but she said something inexplicably: "This was originally intended for someone else."
Ye Jinshu didn't think much about it and replied, "Then why don't you just make another one for that person?"
Having gotten what he wanted, Ye Jinshu didn't plan to stay with Ye Ruoyan any longer.
The group of people from Anping Palace came with great fanfare and left with great fanfare.
Ye Jinshu was going to go back and take out the so-called gift that Ye Ruoyan had specially run to Anping Palace to give her to compare and see if they were the same.
It should be different, after all, dragon blood grass is used.
But Ye Jinshu still had a possible scenario in mind.
Ye Jinshu thought of the question of rebirth that he had just thought about. Seeing that it was still early, he asked Xiao Cui to call Ji Yanqing into the palace.
Today, she must clarify with Ji Yanqing how a grandmother's generation could develop feelings for a son's generation.
Ye Jinshu thought she would be able to return to Anping Palace soon, but she forgot how conspicuous she would be if she brought so many people out, and how special her identity was.
It would be fine if Ye Jinshu often hung around in the palace on weekdays, but in the past few months, except for the occasions when she had to leave Anping Palace, she never went out, making it impossible for those in the palace who wanted to get closer to Ye Jinshu to find a way.
In the past, those noble ladies who thought they were on good terms with Ye Jinshu handed her visiting cards and invitations, but Ye Jinshu ignored them all.
Now that they finally see Ye Jinshu going out, how could anyone with ulterior motives let him go?
Ye Jinshu had no obstacles on his way to find Ye Ruoyan, because the people in the palace were all perceptive and knew that the princess had something to do and did not dare to disturb her.
But now Ye Jinshu's way back to Anping Palace is different. What should be done has been done. Whoever can stop Ye Jinshu next depends on his own ability.
So Ye Jinshu would meet a concubine every two steps along the way. Some of them he could remember their names, while others he had never seen before.
These concubines either wanted to give her things for no reason, or said they had obtained some rare things and invited Ye Jinshu to go see them together.
Ye Jinshu was not interested in any of this, she was busy returning to the palace.
Unexpectedly, after walking five steps, he met a noble lady who happened to enter the palace. After paying his respects to her, he insisted on saying some nonsense to get close to her.
Ye Jinshu wanted to ignore them all, but it was really a waste of time to have them come one after another. Ye Jinshu had never encountered such a thing in his previous lives.
This is the first time.
If God gave her another chance, she would definitely...still choose to stay in Anping Palace, and stay there forever and be happy.
But Ye Jinshu finally met the person she couldn't refuse.
The queen.
The Queen said that she missed him after not seeing him for a long time, so she asked Ye Jinshu to go with her.
Ye Jinshu had no choice but to go over.
In the past, the queen would keep her for a while and then let her go, but this time she insisted on keeping her until dinner.
The prince also came during dinner. Ye Jinshu did not give the prince a cold shoulder in front of the queen, but the prince acted too close to her.
It was as if nothing unpleasant had happened between the two of them.
Ye Jinshu thought that it was impossible to let go of the grudge. The prince must be resentful of her for throwing him out of Anping Palace, so he wanted to use intimacy to make her let her guard down and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Men's hearts are truly the most vicious.
Ye Jinshu remained vigilant and finished dinner with the prince, and only then did the queen let Ye Jinshu return to Anping Palace.
Xiao Cui had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Ye Jinshu coming out, she stepped forward and put some clothes on Ye Jinshu to keep him cool, and said, "Princess, Ji Yanqing has been brought in."
After hearing this, Ye Jinshu held her forehead with her hand. It was clearly her who called the person in, and as a result, it has been delayed until now.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Ye Jinshu sent a nimble secret guard back to Anping Palace to ask the kitchen to prepare some food for Ji Yanqing.
Only when Ye Jinshu finally returned to Anping Palace did he breathe a sigh of relief.
She subconsciously began to look for Ji Yanqing, and then found the familiar person in that familiar place.
However, at this moment, Ji Yanqing did not sit upright on the stone bench, writing with brush and ink as usual, but was lying on the stone table, seemingly asleep.
The branches and leaves beside the stone table faintly revealed the outline of the setting sun.
Xiao Cui hated to see others being rude in front of Ye Jinshu. She was about to go forward to wake the person up, but was stopped by Ye Jinshu.
"Forget it, all of you leave."
Xiao Cui seemed to have something to say, but in the end she listened to Ye Jinshu and led everyone out of the yard.
Ye Jinshu tiptoed towards Ji Yanqing and her eyes fell on the jade hairpin on his head.
As someone who often sleeps on his side on the desk during class, Ye Jinshu has a lot of experience in sleeping on his side.
Wearing a longer hairpin while sleeping on your side will pull your scalp and cause discomfort, and it is also easy to fall off.
Ji Yanqing's hairpin appears to be made of mutton-fat jade, and is an expensive item. If it were to break, all the money he had earned would be lost.
Thinking of this, Ye Jinshu raised his hand to help Ji Yanqing take off the hairpin.
The three thousand strands of black hair were freed from their restraints and fell down softly. A light breeze blew, and the black hair fluttered, revealing a sense of transcendence and an ethereal feeling that could not be desecrated.
Ye Jinshu followed the wind and smelled the scent on the handkerchief that Ji Yanqing handed to her at that time.
She remembered Ji Yanqing saying that this kind of fragrance was called magnolia fragrance.
It is made from magnolia petals and young leaves, with a small amount of sandalwood powder as auxiliary materials.
Can make people feel happy.
Forget your worries.
Never mind, I want to write about love!!! Love!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
