Chapter 1016: All Things Have Spirits

he could only go out and ask her trusted maidservant and wet nurse.The more she listened, the darker her face became, and the less confident she felt.Her husband's health had deteriorated, and she was...Jiayin smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners, and said proudly, "Of course! My family's car fleet is always out and about." 。Lu Zong waved his hand, signaling the steward and others to take the box back. 。Then, he looked at Jiayin and asked, "Thank you, Princess Jiayi for running this errand. I don't have much here, so I'll offer a pair of newly acquired jade horse ornaments as a gift. What do you think"Jiayin quickly nodded, overjoyed, but said, "Wonderful! I'll take it back to the princess and tell her that you specially found it for her to play with." 。"Otherwise, I've wasted so much time, the princess will be angry with me and itchy with me!"

Lu Cong hesitated for a moment, but still let the housekeeper fetch a brocade box and presented it to Jia Yin with both hands. 。Jia Yin received the words, her eyebrows raised and eyes smiling as she thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Lu, you saved my life!"Lu Zong smiled and shook his head, replying, "Your brothers are almost all not in Xin Du. If something happens and it's inconvenient to talk to your family, remember to come to me for help." 。"Got it, Brother Lu. " 。Don't worry, if you need any help, I won't hesitate to ask. 。Jia Yin smiled and waved goodbye to Lu Zong. 。Soon, the carriage turned around and dashed toward the palace. 。Lu Zong stood at the door, unable to leave for a long time. 。Perhaps Lu Feng couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to whisper, “Young Master, should we open the box to see what was brought over from home” Lu Zong nodded, turned and went into the house... The Third Princess ran to the door countless times to peek outside. 。It's strange to say, but for so many years before this, she spent it alone and didn't find it particularly difficult. 。But ever since Jia Yin had been with her, she could no longer bear to be alone. 。My meals are tasteless, and even when I sleep, my thoughts are preoccupied. Everything seems to have lost its appeal. 。As soon as Jiayin stepped over the threshold of Zhilan Palace, the Third Princess came out to greet her. 。Before she could even complain, Jiayin quickly shoved the box containing the jade horse towards her. 。 "Don't nag me, I already came back as fast as I could" 。This is Lu Ge's stuff he asked me to give you. He smirked while leaving, let me catch my breath first, I'm exhausted. 。The third princess blushed and glared at her before quickly ordering the maids, "Attend to the county princess's clothes change and washing!" Then, she ran into the room and secretly opened a box. 。Jia Yin tidied up and returned to the main hall. The third princess was leaning on her chin, staring at the jade horse in the box and giggling. That infatuated look made Jia Yin tease her playfully. 。"Ahem, such a beautiful princess, how come you laugh like an idiot" 。"If Brother Lu sees this, he'll probably regret marrying!"

The Third Princess stamped her feet, furious and pretending to pinch Jia Yin 。Jia Yin quickly begged for forgiveness and then explained why she had gone to the Lu family. 。The third princess also heard the rumors outside. After asking for a long time, she learned that Lu Zong hadn't changed much and didn't seem to be in a state of despair. She then felt relieved. 。She proudly said, "I told you, Brother Lu is broad-minded and definitely wouldn't suffer because of rumors." 。"Yes, yes, what's good about your brother Lu" 。"Jia Yin took a pastry and nibbled on it slowly, then asked, "Has the palace been quiet these past two days" The Third Princess pouted. "Quiet Not at all. The favored one in Rong Hua Palace has so many people vying for her attention..." 。"I hear the carriages at the palace gate are lined up! They're even going to have a summer solstice banquet soon!"

Jia Yin smiled and said, "There are indeed carriages at the palace gate, but I rode in your carriage, so it didn't delay my entry into the palace" 。As you can see, even the majestic Rong Hua Palace pales in comparison to our beloved Third Princess. 。"You went home and drank honey, how come you're suddenly so good at making me happy!" Princess San pulled Jia Yin to sit beside her, munching on snacks herself, and mumbled, "The Rong Hua Palace sent word that we should also go to the banquet." 。"No!" Jia Yin immediately replied, "There are too many people in the crowd, and there will be too much trouble. Let's just stay in Zhilan Palace." 。Why bother with that, it would be better to grill some lamb skewers and have a hot pot. 。" Good, good, it's been a long time since I've had mutton skewers. " 。The Third Princess immediately replied, “I don’t want to see those people smiling falsely. Besides, I’ve been taking tonics lately, so just have Caiyun go and say something.” 。"It's a pity that the jade gourd at home hasn't ripened yet, otherwise, eating hot pot with a few pieces of jade gourd would be even more blissful." 。Jia Yin felt, "This year has been too dry. The fields are all having to irrigate by drawing water. " 。Golden berries are alright, they're drier and sweeter. 。But the emerald gourd is not good, it lacks moisture, it's small in size, and it's also prone to cracking. 。"These days, the village head and all the elderly men and women are working hard weaving baskets." 。Each jade gourd should be covered, otherwise with such a strong sun, the jade gourds would be scorched. 。"The Third Princess had never been to the ground, so she didn't understand these words. Yet, she listened with rapt attention and inquired, “Does Jade Gourd also fear the sun” “Of course, all things have spirits. They are not comfortable in extreme cold or heat.” 。"Jia Yin was too lazy to explain to her, so she said, 'She's been performing a little better lately. In a few days, Bi Yu Gua's garden will be open. I'll take you to the field. You can pick whichever one you want!'

'Haha, that's great! I'm going to eat you out of house and home!' The Third Princess taunted" 。Jiayin wasn't afraid at all, with a look of disdain, "Even if you die, you only eat three or five!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh along, making the Third Princess even more stubborn until Jiayin offered her half a bowl of ice cream, instantly comforting her wounded heart...In the afternoon, the sun wasn't so strong anymore. Caiyun went to Rong Huagong and politely asked for sick leave... 。The noblewoman of the Imperial Consort heard this and went inside to report it. 。The Noble Consort slept with the Emperor until morning and had just woken up. 。At this moment, the Emperor was reading a travelogue, while the Consort was flipping through gift lists sent by various families. 。

When the Empress suddenly heard that Princess Three and Jia Yin would be absent from the banquet for a few days, she frowned and asked the Emperor with some grievance, "Does Princess Three have any misunderstanding about me The banquet won't open for a long time, and she said she wouldn't come now>>> 。The Emperor waved his hand dismissively, his eyes never leaving the book in front of him, and replied, "My beloved consort, don't overthink it. Princess Three has always been willful since she was young." 。She's clearly unwell, yet she refuses to take medicine. Recently, this has led to her quarreling with me! "My beloved, just make sure the banquet is lively and festive. Perhaps by then, she will change her mind." 。"The noble consort smiled and didn't dwell on the matter, changing the subject. "Your Majesty, there have been so many visiting cards sent to me recently that I am overwhelmed. I truly don't know how to handle them all." 。" The Emperor finally raised his head to glance at the invitations, and with a smile, he said, “These people are just trying to get acquainted in front of you. And their families probably have daughters around the same age as the Second Prince.” 。"Oh, I see. " The Noble Consort was full of surprise, then turned with a frustrated reproach, "How could this concubine not have thought of these things Thanks to the Emperor's reminder..." 。"

The Emperor smiled indulgently and comforted, "My beloved concubine is naturally pure and innocent. It's normal to think these things." 。It is estimated that at this banquet, each family will bring their daughters. You can just take a good look then. 。If you have good eyes, pay more attention. 。After this, I will be your daughter-in-law, so I want you to like me. 。The noble consort was delighted and readily agreed. She carefully scrutinized those posts. 。Two little birds, tired from flying in the yard, landed temporarily on a tree. They saw and heard everything, and finally looked at each other with disdain and shook their heads. 。Humans are so strange, they're clearly unhappy inside but insist on smiling. 。Oh no! the south"Li Zhensheng wouldn't tell the truth, so he said, "They are some local specialties from the south, brought for a friend. Someone will come to pick them up later. However, I also brought som...
