Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 15
The next morning, before dawn, Jing Chun got up, tidied up and left through the back door. Aunt Lan had to do the cover, but this was not a long-term solution after all, once or twice It's fine to go out, you can't go out every day, if Jing Tongchang finds out, you won't even be able to go out if you don't keep it clean.

Jing Chun couldn't care less about this than the other, thinking that if it didn't work, it would be better to confess to Jing Tongchang as soon as possible, always using some excuse to explain away the regrets he felt.

After leaving the back door, Lu Chi arrived in the carriage, and Jing Chun got into the carriage.

It's just that Qingying saw all of this, she turned around and told Jing Shuyao, Jing Shuyao looked complacent, "I'd like to see if I can cure her?"

Lu Chi did not drive to Prince Li's Mansion, but went to a teahouse.

Jing Chun got off the carriage and looked at the teahouse in front of her. She always felt that the atmosphere of this teahouse was too high-end, and it didn't seem like a place where ordinary people like her would dare to enter.

"His Royal Highness is waiting for me here?" Jing Chun looked at Lu Chi.

Yesterday, Jiang and Jin were afraid that Jing Chun would show his true face if he did not go to Prince Li's Mansion, and today Jiang and Jin were afraid that Jing Chun would reveal his true face in Prince Li's Mansion. Whether this was true or not, based on her guess about Jiang Hejin, Jing Chun couldn't help but worry a little more.

"Don't worry, Miss Jing. People in the palace are very discerning. If Miss Jing comes in and out frequently, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble."

If Jing Chun has been going in and out of Prince Li's Mansion as a painter, it will indeed attract criticism. If the identity of the eldest daughter of Jing Chun's Mansion is announced, it is obviously not in line with Jiang Hejin's humble character outside.

Jing Chun couldn't help chuckling, sure enough, this is the thoughtful Jiang Hejin,
"Your Highness is waiting for Miss Jing on the second floor, Miss Jing, please."

Jing Chun didn't refuse any more, and walked into the teahouse.

The decoration in the teahouse is surprisingly elegant, and all kinds of potted plants are also green plants. Clivia is the most. The only red flower thing that can be seen is a picture of cold plum in the teahouse. The overall structure is very quiet. Dress elegantly.

Lu Chi took Jing Chun up to the second floor and walked to a tea room in the back.

The room was separated by a bead curtain, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing. Jing Chun couldn't help being more curious about the graceful emptiness. He glanced inside, and saw Jiang Hejin who were drinking tea inside the curtain.

There seems to be a glimmer of light in the slightly cold mist, and the hazy feeling in the morning seems to be born for Jiang and Jin. The extremely clear and brilliant scene is like the pear blossoms that bloomed quietly overnight in early spring.

Jiang Hejin was sitting in the main hall, took a sip of tea, saw Jing Chun coming, so he put it down again, "Sit down."

Compared with yesterday, Jiang Hejin's attitude towards these words is much better.Even if he wanted to be cautious, Jing Chun also sat down.

A cup of tea and a window through the dense tea mist, Jiang Hejin is a handsome person, the more focused his expression is, the more ethereal and cold and alienated he is, which is very similar to that of a fox fairy and a flower god. Looking at the sight of the son of birth, looking at his handsome face, Jing Chun thought of the word "pure and clean".

Jiang Hejin glanced over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Jing Chun suddenly realized that it was a bit disrespectful to be fascinated by male lust. She really shouldn't have!

Jing Chun paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "Fangcai has a bird behind you, and it flew away."

Jiang Hejin didn't care whether there were birds behind him, "Lu Chi, tell me."

Lu Chi also immediately took out today's secret report, saying: "There are four people who have been seeking Tianshan snow lotus in the past few days, but none of them have asked for Tianshan snow lotus."

Jing Chun asked, "Is there a woman among those four?"

However, Lu Chi showed distress, "It's a female customer, but the other party is an old woman who is over half a hundred years old. According to the shop owner, the old woman is still a bit stupid. She can't tell right from wrong. Every few days, she goes to the drugstore to ask for help. Ask Tianshan Xuelian, the shop owner has never paid attention to this person."

Jiang Hejin frowned slightly, and asked, "How can I say that, isn't it?"

"Probably not."

At this point, one more person was excluded, leaving only three people.

Jing Chun asked, "Where are the other three?"

"The other three are Chen Er from the Laifu Inn, Hu Dayong the carpenter, and Master Yang from the east of the city."

Lu Chi continued: "Judging from the family background of the four, Chen Er barely has to worry about food and clothing. The place where the snow lotus is needed is Chen Er's pregnant wife. Hu Dayong worked for people all the year round and traveled around. He asked for snow lotus to cure coughs, but the price was too expensive, so he looked for other medicines. As for Master Yang in the southeast of the city, he was from a scholarly family. , a few acres of fertile land, and the family is fairly well-off, I heard that the snow lotus was bought for a gift, and knowing that the snow lotus was hard to find, I bought a century-old ginseng."

Jing Chun frowned, judging from what Lu Chi said just now, none of these three people looked suspicious.

Jing Chun analyzed: "Generally speaking, two people are too poor to afford and can't afford it, and the other one can afford it but can't?"

"exactly."

Hearing this, Jing Chun was in trouble again, and muttered: "These three people don't seem to be suspected..."

Jing Chun asked again: "Then has anyone seen the woman in this painting?"

Lu Chi also shook his head, since he took the painting yesterday, he also asked all the people who came and went, but they all said that he had never seen this person.

Jing Chun hesitated: "Could it be that he is really a foreigner?"

"My subordinates don't think he is a foreigner. There were quite a few people who went to the palace to look for it that night, but that person is familiar with the streets and alleys in the capital. If he is a foreigner, he really doesn't look like..."

"This is so strange. It's not a stranger and I haven't seen her before. Could it be that she came out of nowhere?"

Jing Chun didn't have a clue at all, and didn't know where to find his ideas for a while, did he have any clues that he noticed?
Just thinking that the voices of children downstairs attracted Jing Chun's attention, the voices of those children were very loud, and a few of them were playing house in a corner.

Seeing this, Jing Chun stopped by the window when he heard the sound. Jiang Hejin also looked over when seeing this.

A four or five-year-old boy looked aggrieved and said, "I'm a boy, why do I have to play the role of grandma?"

The girl was a little older, but she was very embarrassed: "I am a sister, he is a father, and he is a brother. The only thing missing is a mother, and the rest is not missing..."

Then he coaxed: "Then why don't you be your sister and I'll be your mother?"

The boy shook his head and even shed tears, "How can I, a man, pretend to be a little girl..."

Just in time for Jing Chun, a tea servant came in with a meal and handed it to Jing Chun.

Jing Chun looked at the refreshments in front of him, then at Jiang Hejin, "For me?"

Jing Chun was a bit unresponsive and refused to touch the refreshments. When did the person in front of him become so "considerate"?
