Chapter 570 The General Was Rescued (45)
As Xue Asi's servant, Qiu Da always dutifully guarded the courtyard allocated to them in the general's mansion, waiting for his master to return.
However, today, as the sky gradually darkened, Qiu Da still did not see the familiar figure of Xue Asi step into the courtyard, and he could not help but feel worried.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back his inner anxiety, walked towards Luo Yue, and asked carefully: "Master Sister, I don't know why my master hasn't returned today. Do you know where she is?"
Luo Yue was slightly startled when she heard this. She had never expected that Qiu Da, who was always taciturn and only cared about food, would take the initiative to ask about Xue Asi's whereabouts.
You know, since boarding the ship all the way to the capital of Xia Kingdom, Qiu Da has rarely communicated with anyone along the way. It seems that apart from being interested in various delicacies, he doesn't seem to care much about other things.
Seeing him asking about Xue Asi's whereabouts with such concern, Luo Yue was naturally quite surprised.
However, after thinking for a while, Luo Yue smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Junior Sister just went out to deal with something temporarily, and she will be back soon."
After saying this, he gently patted Qiuda's shoulder to comfort him.
Hearing Luo Yue's words, Qiu Da breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
Although he did not ask any further questions, he still found it difficult to completely let go of the worry in his heart.
The next morning, at the Prince's Mansion.
In the room, Crown Prince Chen Jiyao slowly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was the beautiful face of Xue Asi who was "sleeping" quietly beside him.
Looking at the beauty in front of him, Chen Jiyao felt a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart.
It seemed as if all the romantic affairs over the years combined were not as great as what happened last night.
Recalling the wonderful time he spent with Xue Asi last night, Chen Jiyao felt unprecedentedly "exhilarated".
The wonderful feeling of the fusion of body and mind is still something he recalls fondly.
As he thought about it, Chen Jiyao couldn't help but want to move closer to Xue Asi and kiss the beautiful woman who was still sleeping.
But who knew that just when he tried to move his body, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
I guess it's because I indulged myself too much last night that I'm feeling a little unwell right now.
But even so, Chen Jiyao still had a smug smile on his face. With such a beautiful woman by his side, what did this little discomfort matter?
"Your Highness, it's time to go to court!" someone outside the door reminded.
Chen Jiyao slowly stood up. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he realized that in addition to the sore waist, his legs were also a little weak. Looking at Xue Asi who was still "sleeping" on the bed, he snorted softly: "Humph! Little demon."
Then, at the urging of the eunuch, he changed his clothes and went to court.
Xue Asi opened her eyes only after he left the room. There was still a silver needle on her fingertips. If Chen Jiyao had dared to kiss her just now, she might not be able to attend court today.
"Aunt Xue, although you were favored last night, His Highness did not exempt you from etiquette. Hurry up and wash up and go to pay your respects to the Crown Princess and the Concubine!" A nanny with a cold expression was standing by the bed and said to Xue Asi, who was sleeping in the second bedroom facing the wall.
Xue Asi sat up expressionlessly, letting them check the bed sheets and dressing himself up as they asked.
Then he was taken to the Crown Princess's courtyard.
Compared with the Crown Princess Tao Nanmo, the Crown Prince's concubine Huo Chengle had a more grand ceremony. When she saw Xue Asi coming in, she first found out about his nose and face, and then symbolically gave him a gift.
After Crown Princess Tao Nanmo presented the gift of meeting, and when Xue Asi returned the gift of thanks, she did not "stand firmly", and it was only thanks to the Crown Princess who helped her up that she managed not to fall.
Tao Nanmo, who was kind-hearted at the moment, immediately put her hand behind her back and said in a tired voice: "Everyone, leave! I am tired too."
Then everyone retreated.
After Tao Nanmo and the others went downstairs, they spread out their hands to check what was in their hands - an old silk handkerchief. If there was anything special about it, it was probably that there was a bunch of purple jasmine flowers embroidered on it.
"There are really purple jasmine flowers on the other side of the sea. They are much more fragrant than the ones here, and the flowering period is longer." A handsome boy said while holding the hand of a girl who looked almost the same. "I didn't buy any seeds when I went there this time. I will definitely bring them back for you when I go there next time."
"I think you are just trying to coax me." The girl said coquettishly, "Where are the purple jasmine flowers?"
That being said, a few days later, the girl embroidered a bunch of purple jasmine flowers on a piece of silk scarf, added some spices and gave it to the boy.
The young man was quite generous and had someone make a jewel hairpin in the shape of a jasmine flower, with the petals made of purple gems.
Princess Tao Nanmo walked to her dressing table, opened a secret compartment in a jewelry box, took out a hairpin from it, and then wrapped it up with the handkerchief. She said with a smile and tears in her eyes, "After all, it's the same that you can still be together."
