Cypress Boat Floating

The two had just entered the palace and had not yet gotten off the carriage when they ran into the prince who had just come out of the imperial study. The prince stopped them, so Lu Ci Qiu had no choice but to get off the carriage and salute the prince. Ye Jianqing wanted to follow Lu Ci Qiu out, but he stopped him, "It's inconvenient for you to come out, just sit in the carriage."

After saying that, Lu Ci Qiu got off the carriage.

Ye Jianqing couldn't hear clearly what they were saying while sitting in the car. Maybe she just didn't listen carefully, because all she could think about was the figure that just blocked her way.

When did he become so gentle?

There is indeed something wrong with this person.

Before Ye Jianqing could figure out what was going on, Lu Ci Qiu came back.

"What did the prince tell you?"

"Nothing, just saying that I didn't go to school and was wasting my time. Just a few words."

"Oh!" It was nothing to say a few words, and it just went in one ear and out the other, so Ye Jianqing didn't take it to heart.

The carriage became quiet again, but this eerie silence did not last long as they arrived at Lu Ci Qiu's yard.

All the princes who have not established their own palaces live in the east of the palace. Each prince has his own courtyard, and the affairs of the courtyard are under the management of each prince. Others have no right to manage them. This can be regarded as a preparation for establishing a palace in the future and having a good master.

Before Lu Ci Qiu entered the yard, Concubine Shu sent someone to invite him over, so Lu Ci Qiu asked Huai Xi to take Ye Jianqing back.

Ye Jianqing was very familiar with this place. Even without Huai Xi's guidance, she could walk to that room by herself.

Familiar yard, familiar road. Nothing has changed. If there is any change, it is probably that there are more flowers and plants planted in the yard.

Huaixi took her to the room she was most familiar with.

But when the door opened, there was a familiar layout inside, which made Ye Jianqing frown slightly.

this......

In her impression, this room should be empty and no one should live in it. But why is this room decorated now, and all decorated according to her preferences?

Could it be that Lu Ci Qiu had already known about my existence and was ready to bring me back?

"Eunuch Huaixi, I wonder who decorated this room? It's so beautiful." Ye Jianqing asked gently with a smile on his face.

Huaixi raised his fat face proudly and said in a proud tone: "This room was built bit by bit by our Highness himself, and he didn't let anyone else interfere."

Ye Jianqing looked at the familiar room, his brain working frantically.

It was indeed Lu Ci Qiu. But why did Lu Ci Qiu decorate her room in advance? Did he really know about her existence a long time ago?

Ye Jianqing went over every single thing that happened after his rebirth in his mind, and confirmed once again that he had indeed never seen Lu Ci Qiu before today, and he was also certain that he had never seen him.

Think back to today’s encounter.

When I first met him, I was so happy that I unconsciously took his various actions as normal. But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that it is a little different.

When Lu Ci Qiu first met her in the previous life, he avoided her as much as possible. If she had not unilaterally suppressed him with force and made him admire her, she would not have been able to stay by Lu Ci Qiu's side so easily.

In this life, Lu Ci Qiu prepared clothes for me in advance, prepared to take me to the palace, and even prepared a room for me in advance, and decorated it to my liking. Moreover, after meeting me, he didn't seem to hate me as much as he did when he first met me in the previous life. He was even very nice to me.

Based on Ye Jianqing's understanding of Lu Ci Qiu, Lu Ci Qiu seems to be a gentle and elegant person who is polite and courteous to others.

But in fact, this man is extremely arrogant. He does not submit to anyone except his second brother, and he is very cruel and will kill anyone if he says so.

A thought suddenly popped up in Ye Jianqing's mind: "Could it be that Lu Ci Qiu was also reborn like me?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ye Jianqing quickly shook his head to get the thought out of his mind.

How is this possible? This is the real world, not a novel. How can you be reborn just like that?

But...Ye Jianqing lowered his head and looked at himself. He also traveled through time and was reborn.

Isn’t this setting ridiculous in this so-called real world?

Ye Jianqing still couldn't convince himself that Lu Ciqiu was also reborn. It was ridiculous for one person to be reborn, but how could it be possible that both of them were reborn suddenly?

She would rather believe that Lu Ci Qiu simply had another side to his character that she hadn't discovered, rather than believe that he was reborn. After all, this kind of thing was enough for one person to experience alone, and it would be ridiculous for two people to experience it together.

But...what if he really is too?

She didn't dare to say anything else, but the decoration of the room was something that Lu Ci Qiu had decorated herself in the later part of her previous life. It was exactly the same as it is now, with all the things she liked.

Huai Xi stood at the door of the room, watching Ye Jianqing nodding and shaking her head, and was worried that she might not like the decoration of the room, so he quickly asked carefully, "Miss Ye, are you satisfied with this room?"

Hearing the voice, Ye Jianqing remembered that there was someone behind him. He quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied."

She wanted to see him and ask him clearly. This thought kept occupying her mind. But now she couldn't just rush to the Concubine Shu's palace to bring him out.

"Then Miss Ye, please take a rest first. When His Highness returns later, I will send someone to tell you. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Huaixi left.

As soon as Lu Ci Qiu walked out of the gate of Concubine Shu's palace, he saw Huai Xi standing next to the stone lion waiting for him.

Looking at Huai Xi's chubby body standing behind the stone lions, even the stone lions couldn't block him, with half of his body exposed, Lu Ci Qiu couldn't help but smile.

He walked forward quickly: "Huai Xi, why are you here?"

Hearing Lu Ci Qiu's voice, Huai Xi quickly turned sideways and wanted to jog to his side, but the road was extremely slippery after the rain, so Huai Xi had to walk very carefully, for fear that his huge body would fall upside down if he was not careful.

"Your Highness, what did Concubine Shu tell you to come here? Did she accuse you of sneaking out of the palace?" Huaixi didn't dare to ask until they were far away.

Lu Ci Qiu shook his head and said softly, "Nothing, I was just worried about what might happen if I leave the palace alone, so I said a few words. Mother has always treated me like a child."

Huai Xi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Concubine Shu has always treated you like her own son. She couldn't bear to hit you, nor scold you."

Lu Ci Qiu did not continue what Huai Xi said. He was worried that Ye Jianqing might not be used to being here. "How is Xiaoqing?"

"Miss Ye has already settled it in. She is very satisfied with the layout of the room."

"That's good." Lu Ci Qiu nodded, his happiness evident in his words.

"Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?"

Huaixi nodded: "Everything is ready, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Lu Ci Qiu showed a satisfied smile. Thinking of Ye Jianqing's reaction when she saw those things, Lu Ci Qiu felt very happy, he just wanted to make her happy.

They walked in silence all the way. When the master and servant returned to the palace, only a corner of the sun was left in the distance to accompany the colorful clouds.

Lu Ci Qiu didn't even take a break. He took Huai Xi and the things he had asked Huai Xi to prepare and went straight to Ye Jianqing's room.

Ye Jianqing was sitting on the edge of the bed, lamenting about the events of his previous life. When he turned around, he heard someone knocking on the door and quickly got up to open it.

"Your Highness." Seeing that the person coming was Lu Ci Qiu, she, who was well versed in the palace rules, quickly saluted. This was in the palace, not outside, and there were so many people in the yard, so many eyes, Ye Jianqing had to make sure that he was flawless and could not be caught by anyone.

"Come, Xiaoqing, look at what I prepared for you." Lu Ci Qiu helped her up, stood beside her, and pointed at the things the palace maids behind him were holding and asked Ye Jianqing to look at them.

"This...are these all prepared for me?" Ye Jianqing was a little shocked. The maid was carrying a lot of things, and she was even familiar with some of the items on the tray.

"Yes." Lu Ci Qiu nodded.

Lu Ci Qiu clapped his hands, and the palace maids behind him placed the trays in their hands on the table in Ye Jianqing's room one by one, and then left tactfully.

Ye Jianqing looked at them one by one, and before she could react, Lu Ci Qiu had already introduced them to her one by one as if they were his own treasures.

"You are too thin. You should eat more in the future. I asked someone to make these clothes for you. They are simple in design, but the material is very good. You should like them. If you think the clothes are too big, please tell me or Huaixi and I will ask the embroiderer to help you adjust them."

"You don't have a suitable weapon right now, so I picked out a short knife for you. This knife is called "Skylark" and is said to be the fastest knife in the world. I think it suits you very well. You can keep it for self-defense."

"This is a garment made specifically for you to practice martial arts. It's close fitting, and it has straps on the hands and feet so you can tie up the cuffs at any time. It won't get in the way when you practice martial arts or something."

"These are the accessories I picked for you. They are simple and suitable for you to wear on a daily basis. They are not cumbersome."

"These are more complicated accessories. If there are any big occasions in the future, or if there is any need, you can wear them."

"These are some rouge. You are a girl and you will definitely need them, so I prepared some for you. They are all bought from the best rouge shop in the capital."

"Oh, yes, this is your household registration, and also your record of entering the palace. I asked Huai Xi to take care of them for you. You don't have to worry about anyone coming to check on you." Lu Ci Qiu took out the booklet that he had been hiding in his arms and handed it to Ye Jianqing.

"From now on, just stay by my side. I will protect you if I say I can."

Ye Jianqing accepted the booklet with a bewildered look on his face, staring blankly at the pile of things in front of him, especially the dagger.

She walked forward, picked up the dagger and drew it out.

The short sword is about 30 cm long and less than 2 mm thick. There is a bird carved on the handle. The mirror-like blade reveals a hint of chill when it is unsheathed. The blade is so sharp that the phrase "cutting iron like mud" is the most suitable for it.

Holding the hilt of the knife, Ye Jianqing felt the power of 'Skylark' and the speed of 'Skylark'.

She missed this knife very much. It had been with her for nearly six or seven years.

But she clearly remembered that this dagger belonged to Lu Zhixing. In her previous life, Lu Zhixing saw that she had no suitable weapon, so when she left the camp, he gave her this dagger and asked her to use it to protect his brother.

Now, how did it become Lu Ci Qiu's?

"Where did you get this knife?" Ye Jianqing took the knife back and asked curiously.

"I got this from my second brother. I've always heard that he has a world-famous sword, so I went to ask him for it."

really.

Is it because of rebirth? So many things have changed? Ye Jianqing couldn't figure it out. She always felt that this life seemed to be vaguely different from the previous one.

"Do you like these things?" Lu Ci Qiu blinked his big eyes and looked at Ye Jianqing, as if expecting a satisfactory reply from her.

"I like it. I like it all. Thank you." Ye Jianqing couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression. Why is this guy like a child?

But how could this child be so likable? Seeing him like this, even she couldn't bear to say a few harsh words to him, and even the doubts in her mind about him temporarily dissipated.

"I'm glad you like it. You can take a rest first. I'll send someone to call you for dinner." After saying that, he left.

Ye Jianqing watched him leave, unable to take his eyes off him for a long time.

Now he seems to be giving all the good things to himself, but why is he doing this?

Ye Jianqing still didn't understand.

"Your Highness, you have picked out so many things specially for Miss Ye. Have you met Miss Ye before? You even asked me to do the household registration and palace registration a few days in advance." Huaixi felt that the prince in front of him seemed a little strange. How come he never knew that the prince had a confidante like Ye Jianqing.

"You don't understand, Huai Xi. She and I are old friends. She used to live for others, but now, I just want her to live for myself for once." Lu Ci Qiu stopped, looked up at the setting sun in the distance, his eyes filled with endless longing.

A breeze blew by, lifting the corner of his clothes and carrying his thoughts away from where they were, landing far away.

Huai Xi suddenly felt that the prince in front of him seemed to have changed from an innocent child to an adult who had experienced many things.

In the distance, Ye Jianqing stood at the door of the room and watched Lu Ciqiu leave, still holding the "Skylark" in her hand. Looking at Lu Ciqiu's figure, she always felt that Lu Ciqiu seemed to be a little different from his previous life. He seemed to be more mature in this life.

"Since I have lived a second life and met you when I went out, I should live well in this life." Ye Jianqing thought to himself.

In this life, she will do what she should do. Do what she wants to do.
