A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

In the evening, Chu Xingluo came back and Xia Taoyuan told him about King Nan's visit today.

Originally, she wanted to ask Prince Huai and Prince Xiang about taking concubines to gauge Chu Xingluo's attitude, but she felt that such a test was meaningless and would only add to their mutual troubles, so she gave up.

She also thought that if there ever came a day in the future when Chu Xingluo really wanted to take a concubine, she would withdraw. She could never accept sharing a man with someone else.

"What's wrong? What did Lao Wu say?" Chu Xingluo hugged her.

"Oh, he said Qi Nanfeng is not in good health. He drinks all day long and becomes neither human nor ghost." Xia Taoyuan said.

Chu Xingluo's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.

Xia Taoyuan looked up and met Chu Xingluo's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want to go see him. Are you free tomorrow? Let's go together."

Chu Xingluo smiled lightly and said, "Master Qi has done us a favor, so we should go and visit him. But the Ministry of Justice is busy these days, so you go first tomorrow and I'll go another day."

Chu Xingluo knew that if Xia Taoyuan went to persuade Qi Nanfeng herself, he might listen. But if he followed her, it might backfire.

Xia Taoyuan said: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

The next day, Xia Taoyuan packed up and asked Caiyun to go to Nanyuan to call Yingge.

Yingge is good at fighting, so we only need to bring Yingge with us.

She changed into men's clothes, asked Yingge to ask the servant for men's clothes, took some osmanthus cakes and red bean cakes from the palace, and the two of them set off.

Arriving at Nanzhu Mansion, Xu Kun opened the door. He remembered Xia Taoyuan. The last time they came, they almost had a fight. He glanced at Xia Taoyuan and shouted inside: "Ding Peng, tell the young master that Yan Qing is here."

Not long after, Ding Peng came trotting over and said, "Master Yan, please come in."

Ding Peng led Yingge to the side hall to wait.

Then Xia Taoyuan followed him around the flower hall to the backyard, and Ding Peng directed her to the outside of Qi Nanfeng's room.

Xia Taoyuan stepped into the room, and a strong smell of alcohol hit her nose. Xia Taoyuan frowned and went into the inner room. Qi Nanfeng was sitting on a chair with a wine glass in his hand. His long legs were spread apart. This time he was dressed properly, not disheveled.

Xia Taoyuan put the pastries on the table and sat down.

Qi Nanfeng glanced at Xia Taoyuan, turned his head away and said nothing.

"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you." Xia Taoyuan said slowly.

"I'm fine." Qi Nanfeng said lightly.

"I'm glad you're okay. As for alcohol, a little bit of it can make you happy, but too much can harm your body. It's better to drink less." Xia Taoyuan also said indifferently.

"it is good."

"Your body is your own. If it breaks down, you will suffer." Xia Taoyuan added.

"understood."

"This osmanthus cake is delicious, you should try it." Xia Taoyuan also felt that he was just making small talk.

"Okay." Qi Nanfeng obediently picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, without saying anything for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Xia Taoyuan stood up and said, "You take good care of yourself. I'm going back."

"Princess Jing, take care!" Xia Taoyuan could tell that he was uttering these words through gritted teeth.

She paused, then continued walking toward the door without looking back.

When she was almost at the door, she felt a force pulling her back, and then she was pulled into the man's arms.

She was angry and anxious, and shouted: "Qi Nanfeng, let me go!"

"Don't move!" Qi Nanfeng growled, then hugged her tightly and said in an almost pleading voice: "Don't struggle, okay? Let me hug you one last time."

Xia Taoyuan stopped struggling, slowly closed his eyes, and let Qi Nanfeng hold him.

Qi Nanfeng held her like this for a long time before slowly letting go. He turned around and said calmly, "Princess Jing, please go back!"

Xia Taoyuan saw him with his back to her. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she noticed from the corner of her eye that there was a handkerchief on Qi Nanfeng's pillow that looked very familiar. She walked over curiously and picked it up. She was stunned. Wasn't this the handkerchief that she had embroidered badly? She wanted to give it to Chu Xingluo at that time, but the embroidery was crooked and she thought it was ugly, so she embroidered another one for Chu Xingluo. There were peaches embroidered on it, and her nickname, Taotao. She had always thought that it had been lost somewhere, but she didn't expect Qi Nanfeng to find it.

Then she thought, Qi Nanfeng had been there when she was asleep? She sighed secretly.

Qi Nanfeng snatched the handkerchief away and murmured, "Mine!" His tone sounded aggrieved like a child.

Xia Taoyuan felt reluctant, but didn't dare to stay any longer and left without looking back.

He went to the front yard to find Yingge and left Nanzhu Mansion.

Xia Taoyuan hadn't been shopping for a while, so she took Yingge to Jinshi Street and bought a lot of new things for her little girls. She also bought some for Yingge, who was very happy. Although she was now in the palace and had no worries about food and clothing, which was a hundred times better than when she was a child living on the streets, it was still the first time she received a gift.

After strolling for a while, the two returned to the palace.

After distributing the food to the little girls and eating something, Xia Taoyuan went back to his room for a nap.

In the evening, when Chu Xingluo came back, he said that Long Yan had found a house for his uncle and aunt in the suburbs, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had a quiet environment. His uncle and aunt could reunite there in the future.

Speaking of this, Xia Taoyuan remembered that he hadn't been to Taotao Garden for a long time, so he said, "Wait until you have a day off, shall we go to Taotao Garden?"

Chu Xingluo said: "Okay! The day after tomorrow is a day off."

"Shall we bring some more things and stay there for one night?" Xia Taoyuan looked at Chu Xingluo expectantly.

"Okay, I'll let Qingyun Longyan prepare."

Xia Taoyuan smiled and gave Chu Xingluo a big hug.

Chu Xingluo picked her up, walked to the dining table and gently put her down.

"Princess, please eat." After saying that, he sat down and picked up a piece of meat for Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan's smile became more and more obvious. Even a cold person like Chu Xingluo could joke.

She raised her voice and said in a delicate voice, "Your Highness Prince Jing Xie!" After she said that, she couldn't help but vomit. Chu Xingluo laughed.

Xia Taoyuan asked: "Do you like this?"

"What kind?"

"I was just pretending to be delicate."

"I like you no matter what you look like." Chu Xingluo's eyes were gentle and firm.

Xia Taoyuan also said: "I'm the same as you. As long as it's you, I like you no matter what you look like."

The two smiled at each other and enjoyed the warm time of eating.

In the evening, Xia Taoyuan asked Chu Xingluo: "Do you think your uncle will agree with Lao Wu and Qing'er's matter?"

"The fifth brother is a good person and worthy of trust. But now it is not a question of whether my uncle agrees or not, but whether my father agrees." Chu Xingluo said hesitantly.

Xia Taoyuan sighed. She had thought about this problem a long time ago. First, Wei Qing was currently a concubine's daughter. There was no precedent for the prince of Beiyue marrying a concubine's daughter. Second, if the emperor knew that she was Xiao Feng's daughter in the future, would he put Wei Qing in danger?

Xia Taoyuan thought for a moment and said, "What we fear most is that Qing'er's identity will be revealed. At present, apart from Prime Minister Wei and Madam Wei, you, me, and Long Yanqingyun, no one else knows, right?"

Chu Xingluo shook his head and said, "No."

"My brother doesn't know about this, and the wet nurse doesn't know either, right?" Xia Taoyuan asked. She heard from Madam Wei that Wei Jinghe didn't know the truth. Things that need to be kept secret, of course, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is.

"The nanny doesn't know." Chu Xingluo said.

"That's easy. Qing'er has always been the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, so no one can find any evidence against her. As for the fact that Qing'er is a concubine, everyone knows it. I heard that when Prime Minister Wei was transferred back, Madam Wei made a scene for three days and three nights when she saw her aunt and her daughter. Everyone in Yun County knew that Prime Minister Wei had brought a concubine back."

Xia Taoyuan took a sip of water to moisten her throat and continued, "We can find an opportunity to spread the word that Qing'er is smart and is very much loved by Prime Minister Wei and Madam Wei. Madam Wei treats her as her own daughter. In the eyes of Prime Minister Wei and Madam Wei, Wei Qing and Wei Zhiying are the same daughters."

Chu Xingluo kept looking at Xia Taoyuan with a smile. He thought what his Taotao said was right and he thought it was worth a try.

Xia Taoyuan suddenly had an idea and said excitedly: "After we build up momentum, we can ask General Lu Ting for help to recognize Qing'er as his adopted daughter. This will give Qing'er an extra layer of identity and provide more protection! Don't you think so?"

Chu Xingluo nodded approvingly and said, "This plan is feasible. General Lu Ting holds a great deal of importance in the heart of our father. If Qing'er recognizes General Lu as her father, then we will have a better chance of success."

"Well, after all these are arranged and the people have spread the news, then let Lao Wu go and tell the emperor that he likes Qing'er and wants to marry her as his concubine." Xia Taoyuan became happier and happier as she thought about it. She danced with joy and continued, "I think this can be accomplished."

Chu Xingluo looked at her and smiled without saying anything. He was completely attracted by her, listening to her talk nonstop and watching her dancing with joy. She brought life to this once lifeless room and also brought hope to his once lonely body and mind.
