The ups and downs in the Lu family did not seem to affect Lu Qipei, although she was the one who was behind the scenes.
Xu is trying to escape the last hesitation in his heart. Recently, Lu Qipei has spent almost all his time in the Hanlin Academy. She was full of talents, and with her knowledge of the people of the Hanlin Academy, she became a fish in water in a short period of time.
The only thing that made Lu Qipei regret was that it seemed to be the limit to pick her up for three consecutive days, and then Qi Yang's carriage was not seen at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy for a few days. Lu Qipei knew that this was actually normal. After all, Her Royal Highness's carriage was driving What does it mean to wait outside the Hanlin Academy every day? Now there are rumors about her and Qi Yang in the Hanlin Academy, and if they come a few more times, I'm afraid it will cause trouble all over the city.
Although Qi Yang didn't mind letting more people know her heart, she at least still remembered that Lu Qipei had a shallow foundation now. If he rashly exposes her to others before giving her marriage, it is always easy to cause trouble and target.
Qi Yang wanted to protect his sweetheart under his wings, and didn't want to cause any trouble to her, so he finally suppressed his temper and didn't run to the Hanlin Academy.
After realizing this, Lu Qipei tacitly got busy and quickly dealt with various matters - whether it was the mess of the Lu family or the new situation of the Hanlin Academy, it was enough for her to do her best.
Then, in the midst of this busyness, Lu Qipei ushered in her first rest after becoming an official.
Unexpected and reasonable, when Xiu Mu was off duty the day before, she still hadn't seen Her Royal Highness's carriage outside the Hanlin Courtyard, but found a familiar person standing where the carriage had parked before.
That was Zhi Ting, the female official who had been with Qi Yang the longest and most favored.
Lu Qipei went up to meet him without thinking, stopped after a short distance, and asked, "Why is Miss Zhiting here?"
Zhi Ting was here to deliver the letter. She was Qi Yang's personal female official, and she knew almost all the secrets of Her Royal Highness. And Qi Yang never concealed his liking for Lu Qipei, and the female official knew it well.
However, Zhi Ting looked at the person in front of her with a complicated mood. She witnessed the first acquaintance of the two with her own eyes. Although it is undeniable that Lu Qipei is a piece of jade, isn't Her Royal Highness's eyes too sharp? With just a quick glance, you can recognize this person's splendid demeanor hidden under rags, and then he can even abduct him or even bring him back to the palace without hesitation!
Zhi Ting always had a feeling, as if the two had known each other for a long time, and everything seemed to fit so well.
However, she wouldn't say these thoughts, she didn't dare to say much when facing Qi Yang, let alone Lu Qipei. Therefore, at this moment, she just took out the letterhead from her sleeve and handed it over in a proper manner: "His Royal Highness listened to Xiu Mu and invited the young master to visit."
Hearing this, Lu Qipei stretched out his hand to take the letterhead, opened it and looked at it twice, his clear eyes couldn't help but smile a little - Qi Yang asked her to meet tomorrow at the Peach Blossom Forest by the Qingshui River, where they really met for the first time. The place!
Perhaps because of this "coincidence", my heart softened unconsciously. When Lu Qipei and Zhi Ting spoke, their voices became more gentle by three points, with a smile in their voices: "I see. Miss You Lao told me that I will be on time for the appointment tomorrow."
Zhi Ting nodded in response, and after sending the letter, she didn't want to talk to Lu Qipei, she politely turned around and wanted to leave.
However, Lu Qipei, who has always been gentle, suddenly stopped her today, as if hesitating for a while, then took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is the incense that I made myself, Miss Lao... and hand it over to Your Highness together. Bar."
When he said this, Lu Qipei's face flushed slightly, but his star eyes were extraordinarily bright, appearing shy and sincere.
Zhi Ting couldn't help but look at Lu Qipei more, then took the box and accepted it, turned around and left quickly - she thought she knew why Her Royal Highness the Princess liked this person so much, he was indeed a very nice and gentle person. Now it's just asking her to hand over gifts, and she can't help but want to look at her more. If this gift was for herself, maybe she would have been heartbroken long ago.
But no, this is the concubine that Her Royal Highness liked, how could she, a little female official, dare to covet? So let's go quickly, and talk to His Highness when we look back, such a concubine should be recruited earlier to make people feel at ease!
Holding these messy thoughts, Zhi Ting left quickly with the gift.
Lu Qipei stood there for a while, then lowered his head and read the letter from beginning to end. The handsome handwriting was so familiar and reassuring. She pursed her lips into a smile, carefully folded the letterhead and put it away, and then Shi Shiran turned around and left.
Qi Yang didn't know about Lu Qipei's meeting with Xiangxiang. In the previous life, this person had not had time to reveal these things, and he had already died under the murder of his cronies, and even erased all traces of her.
But now, seeing the incense that Zhiting brought back, Qi Yang was a little surprised - at this time, Lu Qicheng had not shown anything strange, and Qi Yang also remembered that Lu Qipei went to buy the spices a few days ago, so he took the other party's actions as a matter of course for her. Prepare gifts. Although this is not the first time she has received a gift from the other party, this box of incense is not the most expensive or the most carefully prepared.
However, those are all things from previous lives, and no one will remember except her.
Furthermore, although the concubine in the previous life married her, he mostly regarded her as a friend... The past was so hurried, and they had no time to go further in the future. Fortunately, this life is very different from the past.
Therefore, in Qi Yang's eyes, this gift now appears to be more precious.
Opening the small box, it turned out to be a whole box of spices arranged neatly. Qi Yang sent someone to bring the incense burner, and took a small piece of spice and put it into it. The faint fragrance soon filled the air with the blue smoke. It was clear and light and not strong, but with a faint sweetness, it was like the best time when I was young, and people couldn't help but feel nostalgic and joyful.
Most of the spices used by Her Royal Highness are precious, and more are from imperial gifts, and the ones worth thousands of gold are unknown. However, in terms of agreeing with one's heart, perhaps none can compare to the box in front of him.
Qi Yang's slender fingers rubbed the delicate small box for a moment, and when he opened the lid of the box, he unexpectedly found that there was a line of small characters in the box. She stared at it, a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, turned her head and instructed Zhi Ting beside her, "I changed all the spices in my temple, and I will use this one from now on." After a pause, she said again: "Find me another box."
Zhi Ting didn't ask any more questions, and quickly ordered someone to find a suitable size wooden box to come back.
After Qi Yang took it, he took the tweezers and moved the spices from the small box to the other box. They were still neatly arranged, except for the one that was burning in the incense burner. .
Zhi Ting watched from the side, and remembered the shy and gentle young man who smiled shyly, and unexpectedly smiled along with him.
As soon as Qi Yang turned around after removing the spices, he saw the smiling face of his female official. She glanced at her suspiciously, and said strangely, "Zhi Ting, what are you laughing at?" After speaking, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said a little unkindly, "Aren't you kidding me?"
Zhi Ting was only two years older than Qi Yang, and it was also at the right time. He didn't hide it when he heard the words, and said, "This servant reminds me of Young Master Lu, such a handsome young man. If your Highness likes it, you should hurry up."
Qi Yang glanced at her when he heard the words, but didn't want to continue the topic - when she didn't want to marry? But who made her father emperor still not summon Lu Qipei to see him in front of the imperial court! The concubine she liked had to pass the emperor's level no matter what, before it was possible to get the marriage. Although with Lu Qipei's appearance and talent, she was not worried that the emperor would look down on him, but it would be very embarrassing for him to not even look down on him!
The good mood was ruined by half, Qi Yang handed Zhi Ting the spices that had been removed from the box, and then warned: "This kind of spices will be used in the temple from now on, I will order them when I am available."
Zhi Ting took the box and agreed, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the small words in the original box: If Your Highness is happy, this fragrance is endless.
The meaning of these simple eight characters is very obvious - if Her Royal Highness likes it, the fragrance will be endless. In other words, as long as Qi Yang likes it, she will pack all the fragrance Lu Qipei she will use in the future!
Tsk tsk tsk, her Royal Highness wants to recruit people as consorts, doesn't that mean that all the incense you will use for the rest of your life will be packaged
In this case, His Highness is still so stingy, even reluctant to burn some spices.
Zhi Ting murmured a few words, but in the end she still held back her laughter and withdrew. Afterwards, he handed the spices to the palace servant in charge of incense in the hall, and at the same time conveyed the words of His Highness as they were, and he also gave a few words along the way.
It made the people in the palace think that the spices that His Highness personally explained were so precious, and they were not necessarily worth ten thousand gold—although this spice was indeed worth a thousand dollars in Qi Yang’s heart—so he became extra careful when connecting the spices. In the end, she left the dosage for today, so she found a special cabinet to hide this box of incense and locked it, cherishing it.
On the other side, Qi Yang did not know that the small words in the box had been read by Zhi Ting. When there was no one else in the hall, he held the replaced wooden box and raised his eyebrows. In her opinion, Lu Qipei made such a promise and rounded it up. It is the rest of his life promised with her!
The first time I got a response, even though I knew that the other person's temperament could not have such a meaning, I was still unavoidably happy. After all, compared to the previous one, the interaction that can be responded to now is obviously pleasant and hopeful.
You see, she sent her own incense today, maybe she will be able to send herself to her tomorrow
Qi Yang, who had lived for many years in his previous life, had already matured and calmed down in his heart, but at this moment, it was a rare moment to give birth to a girl's heart, and some unrealistic fantasies appeared in his mind. Then I looked forward to the trip together tomorrow.
The Qingshui River, in the peach blossom forest, was where they first met.
It's a pity that things have been busy recently. It's a half month later than before. I revisited the old place. I wonder if the peach blossoms are still in full bloom
But it doesn't matter if the flowers are blooming, as long as there are people, everything is enough.
