A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

After hearing Lu Xi's story, Qin Suiyou's first thought was: "Why did you go to Molan Courtyard to eavesdrop on other people's gossip?"

Today, when he asked Du Ruo to make some extra pastries, he sent them to Chu Yuning. If it had been Lu Xi who sent them, he could have argued his way out if he had been caught eavesdropping. But he went later, and if he hadn't been so skilled, he would have definitely caused a lot of trouble today.

Lu Xi was puzzled as to why Qin Suiyou brought this up first, but she still replied seriously, "I just went for a stroll in the garden. Mo Lan Courtyard is right next to the garden, right? I suddenly sensed the presence of a stranger, and out of curiosity, I went over to take a look. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Qin Suiyou poked Lu Xi's head, which knew nothing about danger except for the cold, and wished he could dig open his skull and stuff some sense of crisis inside.

"Stop getting involved in this mess. You're always causing trouble, and even Lu Yu doesn't seem to care about you."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's name, Lu Xi said disdainfully, "Lu Yu isn't as capable as me, he can't control me."

"That's only one aspect. Lu Yu is much more self-disciplined than you in general."

In terms of magical talent, Lu Xi is indeed stronger, but Lu Xi is always unreliable, while Lu Yu is self-disciplined and can motivate himself to learn things that interest him. As a result, outsiders can't imagine that if they were to fight seriously, Lu Yu might not be able to beat Lu Xi. However, this is also based on the premise that Lu Yu doesn't use his brain too much when fighting.

Knowing his own limitations, Lu Xi stopped refuting the topic and instead asked about the gossip he had just heard: "What does Miss Chu mean by saying that the Chu family changed to Anning of the Minister's Mansion? Also, what's the story behind her saying that the original title should be 'Consort of the Heir Apparent Mu Shuyan'?"

Qin Suiyou glanced at Beitang Yan, who keenly sensed his gaze. Seemingly oblivious, Beitang Yan smiled, looked up, and met his eyes before continuing to paint.

"It is said that the Minister of Revenue is a famous upright and honest official. He seems to have offended the Emperor of Beiqian by submitting a memorial about something concerning the Northern Region. I guess the Emperor originally intended to make Mu Shuyan a concubine of Beitang Yan in order to strike at the Minister of Revenue, but somehow the focus shifted to Chief Minister Chu, and the concubine was changed to Miss Chu."

"That's it..."

Lu Xi feigned sudden realization, but then added, "So what exactly is the reason?"

Qin Suiyou walked back to Beitangyan's side, looking at Beitangyan's painting as he said, "How did I know that our Master Lu is so capable? Why don't you go and investigate?"

Lu Xi actually thought about it for a moment, but shook his head after a short while.

"No, no, I still don't have the guts to break into the palace."

The palace is where the fortune of the land is concentrated. If he enters normally and openly without anyone knowing, that's fine. But if he sneaks in using magic, he'll definitely run into trouble.

After finishing the gossip, Lu Xi noticed that Beitang Yan was holding a wooden board, so she went over to take a look out of curiosity and found out that Beitang Yan was painting.

"No wonder he was so quiet. I didn't expect him to have this skill. He can even draw with colored pencils. When did he learn that?"

Qin Suiyou glanced at the drawing paper and found that Beitang Yan had finished drawing the asparagus fern that he had just arranged, and it looked better than the one he had drawn in the morning.

As a teacher, Qin Suiyou was quite pleased to see a student learn so quickly for the first time, but he still "modestly" told Lu Xi, "He started learning this morning and practiced about twenty sheets to achieve the current effect."

Lu Xi's eyes widened, her mouth trembled, and she said incredulously, "In the morning! About twenty!"

Seeing Qin Suiyou still smiling and nodding, Lu Xi grabbed his arm and pulled him aside, whispering in his ear with an air of seriousness, "Could he be some hidden monster in this world? How can a mortal be so freakish! I can't even learn as fast as him!"

Qin Suiyou withdrew his hand and straightened his wrinkled sleeve.

"I remember when we were in the secret realm, the High God said that this world has been in the Dharma-ending Age for a long time. Not to mention that there are almost no gods or monsters in this world, even if there are, I think Beitang Yan should be the one who helps us. You, stop being jealous that he is more powerful than you."

Pouting defiantly, Lu Xi retorted, "When did I say I was jealous of him? I just think he's incredibly strange. His recovery speed is frighteningly fast. Even though his brain isn't working properly now, he can still learn things so quickly."

Looking helplessly at Lu Xi, who was about to start her wild imagination again, Qin Suiyou said, "She just lost her memory and lacked common sense, but her mind is still fine. Besides, she's right under your nose now, so there will always be a time to satisfy your curiosity. Now, you can go wherever you want to play. I still have to go to class."

As he spoke, Qin Suiyou pushed Lu Xi toward the door. Lu Xi wanted to turn around and express a few more thoughts, but Qin Suiyou turned her back.

After seeing Lu Xi off, Qin Suiyou walked to Beitang Yan's side. Noticing his approach, Beitang Yan looked up at Qin Suiyou with an innocent expression and asked, "What did you two just talk about?"

Qin Suiyou replied, "He praised your painting as very good, but he was too embarrassed to praise it to your face, so he pulled me aside to say it."

"is it?"

However, he didn't seem to see any praise in Lu Xi's tone and expression just now; he only saw a strong sense of disbelief.

"Of course it is."

After observing Beitang Yan for a while, Qin Suiyou took a black pen and casually drew a curved line next to the place where Beitang Yan signed his name, and then added a few dots.

After Qin Suiyou stopped writing, Beitang turned his head to take a look, and what he saw made him extremely happy.

"This is my profile! Honey, you're amazing!"

After admiring it happily for a while, Beitang Yan said, "I want to draw one for you too."

Then, Beitang Yan took a pen and drew Qin Suiyou's outline on the paper where his own face was. He did it in one go without pausing, not at all like a novice who had only been learning that morning.

Qin Suiyou glanced at the drawing and saw that the outlines of the two people on the paper were facing each other, as if they were staring at each other intently. Thinking of something, he picked up his pen and drew a circle around the two outlines, thus encircling the two faces together.

Upon seeing this, Beitang Yan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "It's so beautiful! I want to cut this out and keep it!"

Qin Suiyou didn't expect that his casual action would give Beitang Yan such an idea. After thinking for a moment, he jokingly suggested, "You can make a copy of this and engrave it on your everyday items, so you can see it anytime."

Although it was said to be a joke, Beitang Yan thought the idea was excellent and immediately began to think about what to carve it on.

Finally, he decided to carve two jade pendants for Qin Suiyou and himself, so that when they went out, people would immediately know that they were a couple. Don't think he didn't notice; just yesterday, when they went out and few people knew his wife's identity, countless men and women were so captivated by her that they couldn't even walk straight.

Qin Suiyou sighed, trying to dissuade Beitang Yan from his idea, but Beitang Yan was determined to do it, and immediately ordered Gao Yu to find him jade materials and carving tools.

There was no other way but to let the persistent "child" do it.
