Chapter Eighty-Three: Peace and Prosperity

When Ji Changye came to the courtyard, he saw a busy figure in the kitchen not far away, and couldn't help but stop and look at each other.

How nice it would be for years to come? Ji Changye thought.

He wanted to look at his sweetheart like this, without worrying about whether anyone coveted his identity and status, so as to harm him and the people around him.

But this will eventually become a luxury.

Thinking of this, Ji Changye's eyes couldn't help but be a little lonely.

At this moment, in the midst of the smoke, Song Qian found his figure.

After putting down the plate in her hand, she casually took a cloth to wipe her hands and walked out and asked, "Lord Wang, is there something wrong with you?" The meal is almost ready, and we will be able to eat it when the ingots and Changfeng come back."

Song Qian thought he was hungry and hurriedly explained.

"I know, it's hard Song Niangzi. I see you've made a lot of desserts and prepared gold and silver jewelry, do you have anything to do?" Ji Changye looked at Song Qian expectantly, wanting her to tell him what had happened.

In this way, you can help her yourself and not let her face it alone.

Hearing this, Song Qian's body stiffened at first, and then smiled: "It's nothing, the prince doesn't need to worry, he wants to see an old friend."

She didn't want Ji Changye to know about this matter, and then interfere.

Although he could provide her with more help, it was difficult for Song Qian to accept the benefits for no reason, and she still wanted to rely on herself.

Ji Changye probably guessed that Song Qian would say this and refuse him, so he didn't force her to say it, but walked around her into the smoky kitchen, and said, "I'll help you, it looks like there is still a lot of work to do, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone."

"Lord, this is absolutely unacceptable." Song Qian took into account Ji Changye's identity, and hurriedly turned around and walked in to bring Ji Changye out.

I don't want my vision to be obscured by the white fog. The leg under him tripped over something and fell forward uncontrollably.

Ji Changye noticed the abnormality, and quickly pulled Song Qian.

Feeling the warmth of his chest close, Song Qian could faintly feel the beating heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

I don't know if it's because of the moisture, which makes the cheeks of the two of them flush up to the root of their ears.

Song Qian, who was the first to react, quickly took two steps back and ran outside without hesitation.

And Ji Changye stood in place, still thinking about what had just happened.

Did they hug each other just now?

Thinking of this, the corners of Ji Changye's lips couldn't help but rise. He tried to restrain the joy that emanated from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't do it.

And Song Qian, who ran to the yard, didn't notice his appearance.

Feeling a gust of wind blowing, although it was mixed with a little coolness, it also made Song Qian's mind completely sober.

She covered her cheeks, and covered her face in embarrassment as she felt the heat that hadn't completely dissipated there.

I can't help but regret what just happened.

How did she stumble at that time?

In this way, the two of them were in a different place with their own thoughts, trying to calm down, in order not to let others see the difference.

As the carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, Yuan Bao was picked up by Changfeng from the carriage, and as soon as he stood firm, he turned to look at the carriage.

"Yuanbao, we'll see you tomorrow." Wang Yongan opened the curtain and said to Yuanbao in a cheerful tone.

Hearing this, Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Okay, then we'll see you in the academy tomorrow, don't forget the things that the master asked me to carry."

At this time, the carriage was already moving slowly, and Wang Yongan's answer could only barely reach Yuanbao's ears in the wind.

"I see, you can go back quickly, it's cold outside."

After watching the carriage disappear from his sight, Yuan Bao turned to leave.

Changfeng followed him and asked, "Yuanbao, how did you get acquainted with this prince? I think you're very good."

Yuan Bao briefly told him what had happened from the beginning.

"So that's the case, you are the same age, I think it's better than you and the prince of Xiao Jin." Changfeng couldn't help laughing, but he soon couldn't laugh anymore.

Because He Yujin was standing at the door at this time, looking at the two of them with a little resentment, especially when he heard Changfeng's words, that kind of look seemed to swallow Changfeng alive.

In the spirit of being weak and faceless, Changfeng lowered his head and followed behind Yuanbao.

And Yuan Bao was also a little surprised when he saw him here, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Jin, why are you here?" It's so cold here, what should I do if I get a chill." He didn't understand what Changfeng was afraid of.

"I just came back from the shop, unlike you and that Wang Yongan who has a carriage to pick me up, my life is really miserable and I have to suffer from the cold here, and no one cares about me." He Yujin looked Yuan Bao up and down a few times, then turned around and pushed open the door and walked in.

Yuanbao, who didn't know why this happened, was also at a loss at this time, he could only look at He Yujin's figure and stop talking.

Changfeng didn't react, this kind of thing would happen.

Yuan Bao felt that he had neglected He Yujin for a long time, because no matter who he changed, he would not be happy, so he had to apologize and coax him.

At this time, Song Qian and Ji Changye had already calmed down and were about to keep this matter shut up, but He Yujin suddenly pushed the door in and said nothing, which was very strange for Song Qian.

"Ah Jin, what's going on?" Song Qian asked strangely about the ingots and Changfeng who followed from behind.

Both shook their heads, not knowing whether they didn't know or didn't want to say.

Song Qian was very concerned about He Yujin, so when he wanted to ask, Ji Changye came out and interrupted Song Qian's next words.

"Wash your hands and eat quickly, it's not too early."

Is this the word that robbed her? Song Qian couldn't help but think.

Because she was still a little embarrassed in her heart, she didn't dare to go to see Ji Changye, let alone ask him if he had robbed her words because of this sentence.

So she agreed, then turned around and went into the kitchen, continuing to keep herself busy, thinking that she remembered what had just happened.

All of Yuanbao's thoughts were on the angry He Yujin, and he didn't notice the subtlety between the two, and besides, Changfeng didn't understand anything about this kind of thing, so naturally he didn't see anything.

And under the instruction of Ji Changye, he went to help Song Qian work, and he didn't ask any questions during the period, so Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere between Song Qian and Ji Changye was still awkward.

But Song Qian was the only one who really thought so, because Ji Changye was sitting opposite her, and she could see it when she looked up, in order to reduce her embarrassment, so her head was about to be buried in the bowl for the whole meal, and she didn't dare to look up.

And Ji Changye kept that incident in mind and looked forward to the next time, so he ate a very fragrant meal this time, and ate half a bowl more than usual.

Changfeng put down half a bowl of rice and said with a little surprise, "Lord Wang, you have a good appetite lately, and you have eaten half a bowl more than before." He also thought that Ji Changye's old illness had been relieved, but he hadn't experienced what had just happened, so he didn't know why Ji Changye was like this.

Song Qian only raised his eyes slightly at this time and looked at the person opposite. But as if he was afraid of being discovered, he quickly withdrew his eyes.

This action happened to be captured by Ji Changye, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and he was also interested in answering Changfeng's question: "I've been in good shape and mood lately, so I've increased my food."

"How good that is, my lord. Seeing hello, my subordinates will be relieved and happy, so I will eat more." Changfeng said, and gave Ji Changye a plate full of dishes, for fear that he would not be able to eat enough.

And Ji Changye glanced at Song Qian, and saw that she bowed her head deeply, intentionally or unintentionally sending the rice to her mouth. knew that it was uneducated to look at people like this, so Ji Changye quickly put his mind on the table and stopped looking at her.

When Hou Zijue saw the mountain-like dishes on the plate, Ji Changye looked at the smiling Changfeng in disbelief, opened his mouth and stopped.

Looking at it, I want to ask him if he is stupid? How could he sandwich so many dishes, he couldn't finish them.

Changfeng thought that Ji Changye was satisfied with what he had done, and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Seeing this appearance, Ji Changye felt that he was delusional in letting Changfeng completely understand his code words, which was even more difficult than boarding, so he sighed secretly and began to think of a way to solve the dish in front of him.

"I'm done, you eat slowly." Song Qian finally ate the last grain of rice in the bowl, and quickly got up and ran away.

Yuan Bao and He Yujin looked complicated, and it was difficult to swallow. After Song Qian left, he also greeted the table one after another.

"Ah Jin." Yuan Bao followed He Yujin to the room, and when he was about to close the door, he slipped through the crack in the door.

Seeing the unstoppable little radish head, He Yujin sighed and asked, "What are you following?" Just say something."

"Are you still angry? It's not that I don't treat you as a friend, I studied in the same college as Yong'an, and we have a lot of like-minded beliefs, so I want to be better."

Looking at Yuan Bao's sincere eyes, He Yujin couldn't help but begin to regret his previous attitude, he sat on the chair in front of the table and replied, "I did get angry at this at first, but now I don't. It may have been my childhood experience that made me afraid of what I would gain and what I would lose."

He remembered the turmoil in his childhood family, and remembered those "friends" who tended to be inflammatory, so he had a lot of resistance to getting along with the two of them.

But now he has met a lot of people who help him, so when he feels a little neglected, it is difficult for him to accept it.

But now it's okay, he's changing, and I believe it will get better soon.

Listening to He Yujin talk about his childhood, Yuan Bao listened very carefully, and finally comforted: "Don't worry, you are my friend, and you can't change in this life and the next, so don't think about it, if you can't do it, how about you come to the academy with us?"

Hearing this proposal, He Yujin hurriedly refused: "I finally escaped the clutches of those old stubborn demons in the imperial capital, so I don't want to go back and suffer. If you want to go, go yourself."

"Isn't it good to study and gain fame in the future?" Anyway, Yuan Bao thinks this is a good way out.

But He Yujin doesn't think so, "If you really become an official, you will know that this road is not so easy to follow." He saw too many intrigues in the imperial capital, so he felt that this way out was very difficult.

He didn't want ingots to be involved, so he could only say comfort: "In fact, people have a safe and smooth life in this life, and it's good to be happy. Fame and fortune, power, and money are all things outside the body, and they are enough to protect themselves."

If he could, he really didn't want the atmosphere of open strife and corruption in the imperial capital to defile the originally innocent people.

Yuan Bao was a little surprised when he heard his words, but he still nodded and responded: "You're right, just be safe."

"Okay, since the matter has been made clear, you should hurry up and endorse the book, otherwise what will the master do tomorrow morning to find out? I'm going to rest and rest, and I'll see you tomorrow." With that, He Yujin pushed the ingots out of the room.
