Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

Chi Wanshen had a smile on his face. I didn't see anything wrong, but I just felt that he was weird.

I have the lowest status among our group, so I naturally took over the busy tasks.

In the largest and best restaurant in the capital (I won't tell you this is Ling Hengyuan's restaurant), Ling Hengyuan and Chi Wanshen were talking, the eldest princess was listening to a ditty, and I was... serving tea and pouring water.

Ling Hengyuan chattered a lot and took a sip of water.

I am very discerning.

Chi Wanshen also made a lot of noises and took a sip of water.

I'll fill him up too.

The eldest princess: "Give it to me, too."

Me: "Okay."

Ling Hengyuan suddenly pulled me: "Don't move, just let the servants do it."

So I sat next to him and stared at the eldest princess.

I don't know if he saw that I was a little embarrassed, but Ling Hengyuan moved the pastry in front of him to me.

I glanced at him, and he was still chatting with Chi Wanshen, but his hands kept moving, peeling melon seeds and handing them to me, tapping his fingers on the table to signal me to eat.

I blinked and ate slowly, while sighing at Ling Hengyuan who looked quite gentlemanly today.

It occurred to me that we were probably in love, so I peeled an orange for him and fed it to his mouth myself.

Chi Wanshen: "..."

Eldest Princess: "...Is this how your Nanyang monarchs and ministers get along with each other?"

Ling Hengyuan's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "There are no kings or ministers today."

The eldest princess: "Come, please prepare your horses quickly. I want to leave this place of right and wrong."

After this joke, the atmosphere was not as boring as before.

The eldest princess seldom goes on cruises in Beiyin. As soon as she got interested today, she wanted to go to Lake Asakusa.

After getting on the ship, he never thought that the eldest princess would get seasick, so she lay miserably in the cabin inside the ship and waited for the ship to dock.

Because of the differences between men and women, I was left alone with a maid in the wing. The eldest princess kept vomiting and looked ugly. She was so upset that she said: "I will never go on a cruise again."

I coaxed her: "Okay, okay, princess, just lie down, don't press it to your heart, just take a breath."

The seasick princess was very obedient, but she liked to pull me, keep blaring her little mouth, and then said: "Why do you let you see this indecent state of my princess?"

After a while, he said: "Where is Chi Wanshen? Why doesn't he come?"

I lamented the courage of the eldest princess. No one in Beiyin except the Holy Lord dared to call the regent's name.

I think this eldest princess has a close relationship with Chi Wanshen...

Uh-huh, don't puke on me!

Fortunately I hid in time.

Princess: "How long until we reach the shore?"

I walked outside the cabin to ask the boatman where he was on his trip, but I met Chi Wanshen.

I said: "Please greet the Regent."

Chi Wan smiled deeply, nodded, and asked, "How is Princess?"

I said: "The princess is currently making trouble and wants to dock."

Chi Wan thought deeply that she knew the temperament of the eldest princess, so she smiled and said to me, "It's hard for you to take care of her."

I blinked: "The eldest princess also told me that she wanted to see the regent."

Chi Wanshen's smile gradually faded, and she paused for a while before saying, "Well, I'll go take a look later."

I was about to bow and leave, but Chi Wanshen stopped me and said, "Mr. Chen's eye disease, could it be that he was exposed to a strange poison from a foreign land?"

I was surprised and a little wary: "How did the Prince Regent know?"

Chi Wanshen must have seen what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Chen. I have an old friend who has similar symptoms to you. It's just that you can see things, but that old friend is blind."

I remembered that I was only slightly poisoned before I could see, so the noble person Chi Wanshen spoke of must have been quite poisoned.

Chi Wanshen: "I think the reason why envoys from foreign lands came to Nanyang is because His Majesty Nanyang wants to get the antidote to this poison."

I looked at him without saying anything.

Chi Wanshen: "But I can give you a warning, there is no cure for this poison in foreign lands."

Me: "No solution?"

Chi Wanshen: "Yes, but I already know the whereabouts of the antidote. I can also find an antidote for you."

I looked at him warily: "There is no good thing in the world. Tell me, what does the regent want?"

Chi Wanshen's smile grew wider: "My lord is really smart. I don't want much. I just want... the drawings of the farming machine."

This request is expected, and the options appear:

"Promise him"

"Reject him"

I chose the second one.

I said: "Without the regent's trouble, the drawings have already been dedicated to His Majesty. If the Regent wants it, just talk to His Majesty."

Chi Wanshen put away her smile, and the displeasure of being rejected appeared on her face.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, someone called me: "Yue Ji."

I looked behind Chi Wanshen and saw Ling Hengyuan. Looking at Chi Wanshen again, he returned to his usual expression, his face gentle.

I hurriedly walked to Ling Hengyuan and silently gave him a thumbs up in my heart. He was indeed a great boy and the first to save the scene.

Chi Wan bowed deeply and said, "I'm going to see the eldest princess first, excuse me."

Ling Hengyuan nodded.

When Ling Hengyuan and I were the only two people left in the corridor, I quickly said: "What a coincidence that Your Majesty has come here."

Ling Hengyuan followed my words and asked: "How to say it?"

I said: "Then the regent of Beiyin almost put a knife on Wei Chen's neck and asked Wei Chen to hand over the blueprint of the farm machine."

Ling Hengyuan: "Okay, don't exaggerate the facts."

I pursed my lips.

Ling Hengyuan: "However, you and the regent should stay away from each other. I feel that this person is not simple. He must have a purpose for this trip."

I said: "Then... how long will they stay?"

Ling Hengyuan: "January."

I was surprised: "So long?"

Ling Hengyuan: "This visit happened to coincide with winter hunting, so I invited them to go together."

I counted on my fingers: "Wouldn't it cost a lot?"

Ling Hengyuan listened to what I said, with a faint smile on his lips: "Chen Yueji, do you really want to control my money bag?"

me?"

Ling Hengyuan seemed to be thinking seriously: "If you take care of it, I would be very relieved."

I:"?"

After understanding the meaning of his words, I blushed: "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?"

Ling Hengyuan: "What do you think?"

Me: "Lies."

Ling Hengyuan: "...Forget it, you can't even guess it."

The ship finally docked, and the eldest princess regained her vitality: "I guess it must be the problem with this ship. I will wait until next time for this princess to tame you again!"

Me: "That's right, it's a boat problem."

Boatman: "..."

It's getting late, and the sunset by the lake is beautiful.

The eldest princess thought of something and said: "Beiyin has always had the habit of setting off sky lanterns. Do you have it in Nanyang?"

To be honest, I know very little about Nanyang and rarely go out to play, so I turned to look at Ling Hengyuan.

Ling Hengyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Most people in Nanyang put up lanterns at night to pray for blessings."

Princess: "Flower lanterns? They sound good. Do you want to see them?"

The eldest princess looked at Ling Hengyuan, and Ling Hengyuan looked at me with an obvious meaning. So I... looked at Chi Wanshen.

Chi Wanshen: "...just go and have a look."
