He Zhanghua happily ran to his mother. Faced with his mother's reproachful look, he smiled, lively and cute, and so spirited that people couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

"You have such a mouth. Don't be rude in front of guests like this in the future." Mrs. Qi educated her daughter while giving Qin Yao an apologetic smile.

Qin Yao shook her head and said politely that she didn't care. She took the initiative to talk about the interesting things that happened between Qi Xianguan and Gong Liangliao in the village, which was an explanation to Qi Xianguan's temporary guardian.

Everyone in the room listened and laughed from time to time due to Qin Yao's unique cold humor. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Only Mu Ling, who was sitting opposite Qin Yao, stared at her with eyes full of inquiry.

Qin Yao picked up the tea cup and drank water tactically. Mrs. Qi took over the conversation and talked about He Zhanghua.

Mu Ling, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, beckoning He Zhanghua to come to him, touched her head, with satisfaction in her eyes, and praised: "You are sincere to His Highness, His Highness will definitely be very happy if he knows about it."

She knew that what He Zhanghua said to Qin Yao outside the door was intentional.

Qin Yao, who was drinking tea, continued to drink tea. Of course, she also realized that what the little girl said to her was not just for herself to hear.

But for the same children, the contrast between the children from the homes of officials and powerful people and the children from ordinary civilian homes is simply tragic. The fourth mother in her family only knows how to eat candied haws, and He Zhanghua is already looking for a way out for himself.

He Zhanghua looked up at Mu Ling in surprise, "General, is it true? Will His Highness be happy?"

Mu Ling nodded and looked at her with a rare gentle smile.

Mrs. Qi took a look and followed Mu Ling's words and said a lot about missing His Highness.

Mu Ling took advantage of the situation and said: "If Madam is trapped by affairs and cannot come to the capital, I, the general, can take my daughter to my ancestral home outside the capital to celebrate the New Year, and pay a visit to His Highness by the way. I will bring Madam's greetings with me. I would like to come to Your Highness to see the Young Lady." Such a clever child will also be very happy."

Speaking of this, Mu Ling sighed, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he mentioned the princess of Huiyang who had married far away.

"Since the princess arrived in the north, His Highness has missed the princess day and night and has been depressed for a long time. If the young lady is willing to accompany His Highness, it should be able to alleviate a lot of the pain of lovesickness for His Highness."

As soon as these words came out, He Zhanghua, who was still smiling brightly, suddenly froze. After all, he was still a child and couldn't control his emotions well. He quickly broke away from Mu Ling's hand, ran back to his mother, and snuggled into her arms.

She was afraid that she would be robbed and become someone else's daughter. She only wanted her own mother!

Mrs. Qi patted her daughter on the back in a funny way, then turned to ask the mother-in-law beside her: "Is it time for the lady to take a nap again? This lazy girl is probably sleepy. Don't mind, General."

The mother-in-law was also very clever and hurriedly agreed that the time had indeed come and led He Zhanghua down.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, and Mu Ling's face darkened. She always restrained her arrogance only in front of His Highness, but when facing Mrs. Qi, she didn't even bother to pretend.

With a slight sneer, she said: "Madam keeps saying that she misses Your Highness and wants to share your worries for Your Highness. According to this general, this is just verbal flattery, and she actually does not want to share your worries for Your Highness, the eldest princess!"

She stood up in a hurry, "In that case, I have other important tasks, so I'll go ahead and say goodbye!"

He nodded perfunctorily, took the sword and left!

The expressions of the maids and women changed greatly, and they looked towards the mistress, wondering whether they should pursue her or not.

Mrs. Qi's face didn't look good either. She let out a long sigh of relief. She stood up and chased him out in person. "General, wait a minute. Zhang Hua admires the general the most. Today he has prepared a sword dance and wants to practice it for you while the general has dinner." Look, please give me some advice."

The voice gradually faded away, but Qin Yao's ears were very good, so she heard Mu Ling snort coldly, "My wife is so delicate, I am not worthy of giving advice!"      So.

Qin Yao: No one cares about me anymore, right?

Oh, there was also a girl named Chunhua looking at her awkwardly.

Qin Yao was not the indifferent person. She put down her teacup, picked up the exquisite pastries on the table and asked while eating:

"It's getting late. Since Madam has something to do, I don't want to bother you any more. I just don't know what's going on with my husband-in-law. Can you trouble Sister Chunhua to go check it out?"

Chunhua first said that he didn't dare to ask her to call her sister, but then he agreed, walked out of the door, and called an errand boy to go over and ask.

Qin Yao waited for Mo for about a quarter of an hour. The boy ran back panting and said it was almost done over there.

Magistrate He originally wanted to stay for a meal, but Qin Yao had already told him to stay soon. Liu Ji felt regretful in his heart, but still firmly refused on his face.

It happened that the servant came over, and Liu Ji took advantage of the situation to say goodbye.

Gong Liangliao was quite unhappy when he saw that he was leaving. Liu Ji could only apologize and said that he would stay in Fucheng for the next two days. If the teacher needed it, he could just send someone to call him. This comforted the old man who was in a bad mood.

Liu Ji said goodbye to Magistrate He, and under the leadership of Jia Ding, came to wait outside the side door. After a while, he saw Qin Yao striding over, holding the cakes that Chunhua had packed for her.

"Let's go." Qin Yao nodded to Liu Ji. Liu Ji turned around and thanked his servant and Chunhua politely. Then he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, signaling his wife to go first.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a handsome scholar who loves his wife and is polite!

Chunhua's face turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and returned the favor: "Master Liu, Mrs. Liu, please go slowly."

The couple walked out of the side door of He's house. Outside was a very lively alley, with many vendors selling goods in the alley. The couple looked at each other and both had something to say. They agreed to slow down and walk while shopping.

Qin Yao motioned to Liu Jixian to speak first.

Liu Ji coughed twice and said: "Your Excellency complimented me on my extraordinary appearance and asked me what talents I had. He also said that the eldest princess's people are here today and they are in the backyard. Madam, you should have seen her, but this is not the case." Point!"

"The point is" Liu Ji suddenly became nervous, and whispered into her ear with a low voice: "I must first state that I am not narcissistic, but I always feel that there is something wrong with the way Mr. He looks at me."

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ji shook his head. He couldn't describe it, but there was always a feeling that Mr. He was ready to sell him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Yao joked: "Do you want to dress you up and present it to the princess in front of her?"

Liu Ji was almost frightened to death by her words. He raised his hand to cover her mouth but was afraid of being beaten. In the end, he could only stare at her with his eyes, "Madam, be careful what you say!"

Qin Yao laughed, "I'm just kidding, how could the princess like you, but..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly and darkened, "The He family seems to want to curry favor with the princess."

She said this so quietly that Liu Ji was so close that he didn't hear her clearly. He only heard the words princess and flattery.

But the couple still had a tacit understanding. Liu Ji guessed what she was talking about and spread his hands indifferently, "It has nothing to do with us two civilians anyway."
