In Lin Shuxian's yard.
Lu Qing took out a set of jewelry she specially selected for Lin Shuxian, "I went to a shop outside and saw this a few days ago. The style of white jade camellia is quite rare. At first glance, I think it suits you very well."
Lin Shuxian teased her: "You are at a loss. What I gave you was something I didn't want, but what you gave me was something you carefully selected."
Lu Qing didn't care: "I like what you gave me very much."
Those tea leaves were enough for her to drink for a long time, and their value was not comparable to this set of jewelry.
What's more, the gift itself cannot be measured by value. If the person receiving it likes it and the person giving it is happy, isn't that enough?
Lin Shuxian hadn't been so happy for a long time. She asked someone to take off the jewelry and put it away. She smiled and said, "Next time we meet, I will wear the jewelry you gave me."
There are very few things that can make her show off recently, but getting to know Lu Qing is one thing.
Lin Shuxian looked at Lu Qing and laughed at herself: "In the past, I pretended to be noble and thought that everyone had no common language with me, so I read and wrote alone in the house. You invited me out and I refused. Now thinking about it, I really stupid."
In fact, it was not only because of her aloofness, but also because she and Yan Changfeng were too close at that time and did not want to make friends with her.
In the past, Lin Shuxian thought it was sweet to be together, but when their relationship faced difficulties, she could no longer share all her feelings with the people she had been closest to. At this time, friends became very important and necessary.
Lu Qing would not blame her, nor did she think she was pretending to be noble. She comforted Lin Shuxian: "Although you are not familiar with me, you still say hello to me every time we meet. Isn't it great? Everyone's personality is different. That’s good.”
Lu Qing has always admired talented people. Lin Shuxian, who is well-educated and sensible, has been a famous talented woman in the capital since she was a child. What's wrong with having a little bit of her own personality? Isn't it reasonable?
Lin Shuxian smiled and said, "You are so easily satisfied." He decided that she was a good person just after saying hello, how could it be so funny.
After laughing, Lin Shuxian asked slightly uneasily: "Then are we friends?"
She blushed a little. After all, this was not what someone in their twenties should say. However, she had not made friends for a long time, so she was inevitably shy after saying it.
"Of course!" Lu Qing said seriously, "If you want to talk in the future, you can come to see me at our house. If it's not convenient, we can make an appointment outside or at your place."
She is very willing to make friends with people who read a lot, not out of vanity, but out of respect from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Shuxian said with a wide smile: "Okay!"
After staying at Prince Qi's Mansion for lunch, Lu Qing and Yan Fuguang left.
On the carriage, Yan Fuguang praised Lu Qing: "My Zhenzhen is loved by everyone."
At the dinner table, Lin Shuxian kept picking up vegetables for Lu Qing and asked her in a gentle voice what she liked to eat and drink. If she read correctly, Yan Changfeng was even surprised.
Yan Fuguang hugged her and smiled: "If you are so popular, will Zhenzhen still have a place for me in her heart when I come back from a trip?"
Lu Qing, who was standing next to her, didn't have time to respond. She focused on the key point and asked, "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
Yan Fuguang told her: "General Jiang is recovering from his injuries in Northern Xinjiang. I'll go over there."
War broke out frequently in northern Xinjiang, and Lu Qing's heart tightened: "Your Highness..."
She has him in her heart, and she can no longer belittle his life and death. She has no position to stop him from going to the battlefield, but she hopes that he can return safely every time.
"Don't be afraid." Yan Fuguang held her shoulders and said in a soft voice, "It's not a war. If nothing happens, I'll be back in three months."
He went to muddy the water outside Northern Xinjiang. Those small tribes looked a bit annoying individually, but they did not threaten the stability of Dayan. But now that they have joined forces, they have become quite powerful and their ambitions have expanded. If they don't go down, they must be taught a lesson.
Lu Qing tried her best to look calm. There was very little she could do for him, at least to let him leave without worrying about her and the child.
"When will you leave?"
"In a few days, I will find a reason to leave quietly."
Emperor Xihe could actually handle matters in the court, but sometimes he wanted to be lazy or occasionally confused.
It should be no problem to keep Yan Changfeng and Yan Qingzhou. In this way, if he has anything to do in northern Xinjiang, he can be supported from the capital.
There were only a few days left before he left, and Lu Qing was not very interested in doing anything recently.
Late at night, Lu Qing lay next to him, hugged him sideways and asked, "When your highness is not busy these days, can you come back for dinner?"
Rather than asking him to come back for dinner, Lu Qing just wanted to see more of him.
Yan Fuguang turned over and hugged her into his chest: "I come back every day. I have made arrangements in advance for anything that needs to be prepared."
All that's left is to go to court and run errands as usual, and then leave quietly.
Smelling the familiar smell on his body, Lu Qing's thoughts were racing: "Is His Highness's armor still strong? Do you want to order someone to make another pair? By the way, I have to go to the temple to beg you to wear a peace charm. Still have it? There are shoes, socks and middle coat, I have to make more for you..."
Yan Fuguang kissed her forehead and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
Lu Qing's tone was more firm than his: "His Highness is the most powerful person, and nothing will happen to him."
She methodically prepared everything that needed to be prepared for Yan Fuguang, and she didn't cry at all on the day she sent him away.
Yan Fuguang was sitting on a high horse, and Lu Qing looked up at him with a smile: "Your Highness, please be safe."
He leaned over and touched her face: "Wait until I come back."
"Well, when you come back, we can fly a kite and you can teach me."
"good."
For them, parting is always temporary, and their expectations and longing will bring them to each other.
Lu Qing will wait for his triumphant return, and Yan Fuguang will keep his appointment.
