Unexpectedly, when Liu Qiaoer arrived at the general's mansion, General Zhenbei and Pei Yuanhai were together. When they saw Liu Qiaoer, they all asked.
"Is the princess with you?"
Liu Qiaoer was also confused by the question: "No, she hasn't come to see me for almost two months. The last time we met was when we started to plant crops. She asked me to give her 100 kilograms of seeds. Since then, I haven't seen her again."
The grain seeds in Liu Qiaoer's space are of good quality, have few pests and high yields. In order to make the grain seeds adapt to the actual land, she gave all the seeds to her friends and asked them to plant them and try.
Princess Mingxin also had 500 acres of good farmland, plus General Zhenbei's 500 acres of private land, and she gave some grain seeds.
Hearing that Liu Qiao'er had not met Princess Mingxin either, General Zhenbei became even more anxious. He was so angry that he almost fainted.
"If anything happens to this girl, how can I face her mother?"
General Zhenbei's wife was also a heroine, and the couple had a deep relationship. Since the death of Princess Mingxin's mother, General Zhenbei had no wives or concubines.
He devoted all his energy to military affairs on the northern border and had only one daughter, Princess Mingxin.
Liu Qiaoer quickly took out the acupuncture needle and gave him two needles to relieve the pain. Then she turned around and saw Pei Yuanhai who was equally anxious.
"The last person the princess met was you. Please tell me when you met and when you separated. It would be better if you could be more detailed..."
Pei Yuanhai's peach blossom eyes darkened and he told the story slowly.
Compared to the good feelings that Princess Mingxin has for Pei Yuanhai, Pei Yuanhai has known Princess Mingxin for a longer time.
It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom. When Princess Mingxin's body had not yet recovered, she went out for a spring outing with the Third Prince Zhao Yangxu. She was frail and stayed quiet the whole time.
Zhao Yangxu brought her to the peach blossom forest on the outskirts of Beijing. Because he wanted to chat with the famous people in Beijing at that time, he let Princess Mingxin wander around alone, and she came to the forest alone.
Perhaps because the surrounding scenery was so beautiful, Princess Mingxin asked her maid Shuangjiang to accompany her, and she began to dance gracefully in the peach blossom forest.
"That was the first time I saw the princess. Her dancing was so graceful, like a stunning beauty. I fell in love with her at first sight."
But at that time, Pei Yuanhai was going to take the imperial examination and had no energy to think about other things. He just remembered the name of Princess Mingxin and fantasized that after he passed the exam, he would have the chance to meet her again, or simply let the Pei family propose marriage to the empress dowager.
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is far from the ideal.
Pei Yuanhai was full of energy and ambition at that time. Although he knew that Pei Yuanshan was the highest official in the clan, he did not want to rely on him, so no one knew the relationship between the two.
So, this time, Pei Yuanhai failed.
Listening to Pei Yuanhai's narration, Liu Qiaoer calculated with her fingers that the year when Lu Yunzheng gave up the exam was exactly the year when Pei Yuanhai failed.
She had heard that the imperial examination in the capital was very shady and that it was impossible to pass without connections and money. In fact, it might be even darker than she thought.
Pei Yuanhai failed the exam and Lu Yunzheng gave up the test.
At the same time and in the same place, it was not only Pei Yuanhai who fell in love with Princess Mingxin at first sight, but also Lu Yunzheng.
Pei Yuanhai was devastated and had no choice but to go to Pei Yuanshan to recognize his relative, live in Pei Yuanshan's home, and wait to take the exam again the next year.
Even though something happened at Lu Yunzheng's family, he was still concerned about Princess Mingxin's health, and he saved his father because he was looking for medicinal herbs for Princess Mingxin.
Because of the matter of medicinal herbs, Princess Mingxin secretly fell in love with the handsome Lu Yunzheng. For a period of time, rumors about the two of them were rife.
Pei Yuanhai was so busy studying at that time that he didn't expect to miss out on such a good opportunity.
Just when he was feeling discouraged, after the imperial examination, he and Lu Yunzheng both passed the examination and became Jinshi, but Lu Yunzheng refused the empress dowager's arranged marriage, claiming that he already had a lover.
The sensible Princess Mingxin did not insist any further, which made Pei Yuanhai like her even more.
By chance, on the first snowy day of that winter, Princess Mingxin and he shared an umbrella, and fate miraculously brought the two together and made them know each other.
Pei Yuanhai will always remember that day. It was a freezing cold day, but a bright smiling face kept him warm throughout the winter.
After the Chinese New Year, he wrote a letter to his family asking for permission to marry Princess Mingxin.
Whether it was the Pei family, the Queen Mother, or General Zhenbei, they all thought this was a very good marriage. Only Liu Qiaoer advised her from time to time.
"It's still too hasty. You should date for at least two years before talking about marriage, or you can get along well. Marriage in ancient times is different from modern times. There is no turning back."
Even for someone as noble as Princess Mingxin, it would be difficult to get a divorce.
But Princess Mingxin, who was in love, didn't care about all that. Not only did she get engaged to Pei Yuanhai, she couldn't help herself and the two of them got together.
Logically speaking, Princess Mingxin lives such a simple life that she shouldn't run around.
Hong Yuan didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly asked, "Could the princess have been kidnapped?"
Unexpectedly, Shuangjiang immediately denied it: "It's impossible. The general also sent secret guards to follow the princess. If the princess was kidnapped, how could we not know?"
Besides, everyone in the capital knows Princess Mingxin, who would dare to kidnap her
Liu Qiaoer glanced at Pei Yuanhai, frowning tightly: "This is strange, he can't just disappear out of thin air, Mr. Pei, if you don't mind, can you treat me as Princess Mingxin and take me through the scene of your last meeting?"
Pei Yuanhai's eyes flashed and he agreed.
"Okay, come with me."
At the same time, Liu Qiaoer asked Long Batian in the space to find some things with the aura of Princess Mingxin, and bring them to the space for the robot to identify them.
But who would have thought that when Long Batian took a look around, he found the room clean and tidy, not even a single hair of Princess Mingxin was left, let alone her clothes.
Without these things, Long Batian couldn't find people by smell, and the space would be useless at this time.
Liu Qiao'er also began to get anxious: "Let's go, Shuangjiang will follow, let's see what the princess did before she disappeared?"
Passing by the back garden of the general's mansion, Liu Qiaoer looked up inadvertently and saw several peach trees in the garden, seeming to feel a little emotional.
"I haven't been out for a few days, and the peach blossoms are blooming again this year."
Xiaoliu clapped her hands and shouted, "Sister, are you going to make peach blossom wine?"
Liu Qiaoer patted Xiaoliu's furry head and said, "When we find Princess Mingxin, I'll make wine with her for you to drink."
Xiaoliu nodded. At this time, he didn’t know what missing meant.
Liu Qiaoer asked Hong Yuan to take Xiao Liu back first, and she took Shuangjiang and followed Pei Yuanhai to find Mingxin.
A day without seeing each other feels like three years. Mingxin and Pei Yuanhai are in love and can't wait to be together every day.
Mingxin's mind is full of romantic scenes of love. A woman living in the new century is different from a woman living in the end of the world.
Their living environment is very good, peaceful, healthy, and they are not well-informed. Their knowledge comes from books, and all the love described in the books is beautiful.
Even when life is a mess, they still maintain their passion for love.
Princess Mingxin, who was suffering from lovesickness, waited for Pei Yuanhai in the teahouse for the whole morning. The two met in the teahouse only after Pei Yuanhai resigned.
