In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests - Night Banquet

Li Chengze originally intended to use this as an excuse to ask Emperor Qing for leave on behalf of Tao Jingyang.

However, she herself refused, so the two remained deadlocked in the mansion for a while.

In the end, Li Chengze couldn't persuade Tao Jingyang otherwise, and the two of them went to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests together.

Quite coincidentally, the three of them, who had not discussed it beforehand, arrived at the palace gate together and were all being checked by the guards at the gate.

Li Chengze and Tao Jingyang even lingered at the mansion for a while.

Whether it's delayed or brought forward, we'll eventually meet again.

This may be an inescapable fate.

Fan Xian was throwing one hidden weapon after another onto the table.

They were hidden in his hair, belt, cuffs, and even boots. The weapons on his person nearly filled the entire table.

Tao Jingyang watched Fan Xian's actions, as he threw out hidden weapons and then poison, packet after packet, bottle after bottle.

I suddenly remembered the bottle I took this morning. My whole body is still aching slightly since I finished it.

It's alright, still within a tolerable range.

He secretly thought to himself that one day he would learn this medical skill and prescribe a few medicines for fun.

The iconic scene was right before his eyes, and Tao Jingyang was actually quite excited as he watched it.

This is an immersive movie experience... how many "D"s is that?

Standing on the left, Li Chengze glanced at Tao Jingyang discreetly, and following her gaze, he noticed that she was looking at Fan Xian.

Coincidentally, he also remembered Tao Jingyang's "poisoning" that morning.

A strange, inexplicable unease rose within me.

So he stepped forward, arms crossed, and approached Fan Xian. He raised his chin and asked, "Are all these on the table poisonous?" His expression was unreadable.

"Yes, Your Highness. I was assassinated before, so I'm carrying extra things for self-defense."

After Fan Xian finished speaking, he thought to himself, "I gave Tao Jingyang quite a bit yesterday; she probably gave you some today too."

However, due to the large number of people present, Fan Xian did not voice his question.

Tao Jingyang didn't move forward; instead, Xin Qiwu, standing behind him, whispered tentatively, "..."

"Young lady, are you Tao Jingyang, Miss Tao?"

Tao Jingyang looked at him, finding it amusing, and straightened his expression, bowing in return, "Indeed, may I ask who you are, sir?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xin Qiwu immediately put on an even more joyful expression.

"Oh my, I knew it! When I was standing to the side just now, I noticed that Miss Tao had an extraordinary air about her, so I came up to ask. I didn't expect it to really be you."

"Are you here to attend this banquet as well?" Xin Qiwu asked, glancing towards Li Chengze as he spoke.

[Who doesn't know that these two have been inseparable lately...] In Xin Qiwu's opinion, although he was a retainer of the Crown Prince, that didn't prevent him from being popular with everyone.

Even if I don't dare to talk much with the Second Prince, I can still get to know Miss Tao.

Li Chengze heard voices behind him. He turned around and saw someone trying to flirt with Tao Jingyang. He glanced at him but didn't recognize him; it seemed to be one of the Crown Prince's retainers.

What are the prince's retainers talking about with my men?

Xin Qiwu, who was all smiles, immediately noticed the Second Prince's gaze.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to pay his respects.

At this moment, the familiar scene unfolded before Tao Jingyang's eyes again, but she felt a strange emotion rising within her.

Lost in thought, he suddenly noticed a guard hiding behind the palace wall, looking around warily.

Just when Tao Jingyang thought the guard was about to do something "big," the man, like a little mouse, took advantage of the fact that no one was watching, lowered his head, and secretly ate a bite of the pancake hidden in his sleeve.

Tao Jingyang was overjoyed. Yes, a living, breathing person like him, when hungry, would naturally sneak a bite to eat while on duty.

This is the diverse spectrum of life that wasn't shown in the story.

She couldn't hold it in any longer, and a laugh escaped from Tao Jingyang's throat.

Hearing the voice, Li Chengze turned to look at her. He moved towards Tao Jingyang and asked softly, "What are you laughing at?"

As if he had figured something out, Tao Jingyang's mood brightened.

"I'll tell you when we get back." Tao Jingyang's eyes curved into a smile, as if the gloom in Li Chengze's heart had also dissipated.

Li Chengze stood beside her, gesturing towards the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests ahead: "Let's go."

"Let's go."

After the two people in front left, His Highness the Crown Prince got out of the carriage.

After going through the routine of inspection and body search, I greeted Fan Xian and then passed by Xin Qiwu.

Xin Qiwu was quite startled.

He ignored everyone else and strode confidently into the main hall.
