Zhuang Ke came running over happily, while Ji Jingxue led the horse and followed him leisurely.
"Are you done so soon? I bought a lot of snacks and wanted to move a stool to the theater. Why did you come out so quickly and made me wait in such a long queue for nothing!"
Zhuang Ke originally wanted to go to the palace to watch a play with Qi Jue and the others, but halfway through, he was attracted by the smell of the snacks made by Ruyizhai. He couldn't walk anymore and had to buy some.
Come and eat.
But Ruyizhai is the most famous snack shop in the imperial capital, and business has always been booming. There was a long queue early. When Qi Jue saw that he insisted on eating, he decisively left him behind and only brought Yan Mingzhu in.
palace.
Yan Mingzhu sniffed, "Sugar cake, honey cake, chestnut cake, Guanghan cake and five-spice cake?"
Zhuang Ke immediately gave a thumbs up, "Miss Yan San has a good nose. You guessed everything. I bought a bag of each. Although the flower viewing party is over, the food cannot be wasted. Come on, you
Just pick whatever you like to eat!”
With that said, Zhuang Ke waved to Ji Jingxue behind him, and Ji Jingxue handed over a pile of snacks wrapped in oil paper for Yan Mingzhu to choose from.
"Then I will pick out a bag of five-spice cake. Thank you very much, young master. I wonder if the young master will be busy later?"
Zhuang Ke didn't know why, so he immediately replied: "What can happen to me, a salted fish? Miss Yan San, what can I do to you?"
"I want to go to Nan Market. If my young father-in-law doesn't mind, can I borrow a horse?"
Zhuang Ke agreed: "Of course, no problem..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Ke felt a death gaze. He raised his head and met Qi Jue's swooping gaze.
Only then did he react belatedly and asked tentatively: "If we go to Nanjie Market, my nephew should also... drop by, right? For the girl's family, it would be safer and more convenient to take a carriage, right?"
Look at how considerate and considerate this uncle is, creating opportunities for his eldest nephew and his future nephew-in-law to be alone together all the time!
"The flower-viewing banquet is not over yet, His Highness cannot get away. Furthermore, don't you know best, young master, how my equestrian skills are?"
Zhuang Ke could only look at Qi Jue: Nephew, should I agree or not?
Qi Jue completely lost his patience. He thought he had coaxed her, but the fact was that this girl was starting to avoid him now.
If this were normal, if someone dared to sneer at him, he would make the other person never see the sun of tomorrow.
But when it comes to Yan Mingzhu... Qi Jue sighed resignedly.
She always had a hundred ways to make him helpless.
Without giving Zhuang Ke a chance to speak, Qi Jue grabbed Yan Mingzhu's wrist and pulled her out of the palace.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Let go!"
However, Qi Jue didn't even stop for a moment, he just said: "I won't do anything, just leave the palace."
"You come out of the palace as soon as you leave the palace. Prince Dingbei's palace is in the north. I want to go to Nanjie Market. We are going different ways!"
"Who said that I want to go back to my hometown, and who said that we have different ways? I just remembered that I have to go to Nanjie Market to do some personal things, so I will send you there on the way."
Yan Mingzhu: "..."
This person is clearly telling lies with his eyes open!
Zhuang Ke looked at Qi Jue holding Yan Mingzhu's wrist and not letting go, and clicked his tongue: "In front of my uncle, the young couple flirted unscrupulously, without even looking at it."
Ji Jingxue said expressionlessly: "They are not a young couple."
Your Highness has not yet married a princess, so where did the young couple come from?
"You stupid fool, you can't even understand this. Once upon a time, a woman deliberately fell into my nephew's arms, but he threw her into the lake without blinking an eye. His reputation for ruthlessly destroying flowers spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
,
When have you ever seen him take the initiative to approach a girl and grab her hand? Look, how tight he is, Miss Yan can't shake her off even if she wants to!"
Ji Jingxue was silent for a moment, "If you haven't passed the door, you are not the princess."
Zhuang Ke gave him a hopeless look, "Forget it, just like you, you'll be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
Just when Yan Mingzhu and the others got on the carriage, Mingtai also came out.
He stared intently at the back of Yan Mingzhu getting on the carriage, and did not take a step for a long time.
Until the boy came to him with a cloak and said, "Master?"
Only then did Mingtai come to his senses and suddenly asked: "Do you think there is anyone in this world who will come back in another way?"
The boy was confused when he heard this and scratched the back of his head without knowing why, "Mr. Prime Minister, are you talking about...the rebirth of the emperor who is so popular nowadays?"
Now it was Mingtai's turn to be confused, "Rebirth? What is that?"
"Recently, a story about the God of War Prince and the glamorous female general has become popular in the imperial capital. When I was young, I heard it once. The female general in the story is most likely based on our eldest daughter.
The background at the beginning of the story is that the female general was reborn as another person seventeen years later, and had a series of entanglements with the God of War, which is really interesting!"
Seventeen years later...reborn as another person?
A very bold idea suddenly appeared in Mingtai's mind.
"Where did this story begin?"
The boy immediately replied: "It's a teahouse called Ming Yuexuan."
Mingtai made a note of this name in his mind and planned to go over and have a look when he had a rest tomorrow.
Here, after getting on the carriage, Zhuang Ke keenly felt that there was something wrong with the aura between Qi Jue and Yan Mingzhu.
He quietly approached Qi Jue and asked in a low voice: "Nephew, did you have a fight?"
Qi Jue gave him a sideways glance.
"As the saying goes, if a couple quarrels, it's better to quarrel at the end of the bed..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Mingzhu: "Young Master, I have no unclear relationship with His Highness. Don't make such a joke again in the future, otherwise if it spreads to Your Majesty or Concubine Zhuang,
In their ears, it will make them unhappy."
Qi Jue frowned and his aura instantly dropped, "Didn't you say you're not angry anymore?"
Yan Mingzhu blinked, "I'm not angry, I'm just telling the truth. Doesn't your Highness think something is wrong?"
Qi Jue was so angry that he had a headache. He placed his forehead with one hand and sighed: "Everything you said is right. It is my fault."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Qi Jue: "..."
Zhuang Ke choked on his own saliva. Oh my god, his nephew actually apologized! He apologized so readily and naturally! Is this a conversation he could hear without paying?
He opened his mouth to say something else, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Qi Jue: "Shut up."
Zhuang Ke curled his lips, just shut up, why are you so fierce? No wonder he is disliked by Miss Yan, you deserve it, hum!
Arriving at the entrance of Baekje Hall, Yan Mingzhu got off the carriage.
However, Qi Jue did not get out of the car, "I am going to the military camp."
Yan Mingzhu nodded, "Your Highness, walk slowly."
His attitude was very perfunctory, no one had ever dared to be so perfunctory with him.
Qi Jue was angry and funny, and happened to catch a glimpse of Zhuang Ke sitting in the corner deliberately watching his joke.
She kicked him angrily and said, "You go down too."
