After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Lin Qingyao collected the letter and told Qiu Yue: "Ask the guard to bring a message to the fifth princess, saying that I will visit her tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qiuyue took the order, turned around and left the room.

Then Lin Qingyao sent Fei Ying to deliver a letter to Jamel Xiao, telling him the news of entering the palace tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Lin Qingyao dressed up and set off with Qiu Han.

The carriage traveled smoothly and arrived at the palace gate in less than half an hour.

Although Lin Qingyao had the token given by Xiao Qingning, she couldn't use it at all.

Lin Qingyao went to the palace to see Xiao Qingning many times, and all the guards at the palace gate knew her.

When the guards at the palace gate saw the carriage of Marquis Zhongyong from a distance, they knew that Lin Qingyao was coming and hurried forward to greet him.

"I've met Miss Lin Er."

Qiu Han opened the car curtain. Lin Qingyao glanced at the speaker and nodded with a smile, "Shiwei Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

Lin Qingyao would smile and talk to him every time, without any pretense of a lady from aristocratic family, and Guard Feng had a good impression of her.

"My slave is well, thank you Miss Lin Er for your concern. Is Miss Lin Er here to visit the Fifth Princess again?"

"Yes, I haven't been here for a long time. I came to see her today."

Guard Feng knew that Lin Qingyao had always been on good terms with the fifth princess, so he opened the palace door without asking any more questions.

"Miss Lin Er, walk slowly."

"Thank you for your help, Guard Feng."

As soon as Lin Qingyao got off the carriage, she saw Fuling already waiting in front.

Poria bowed to Lin Qingyao and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, you are here. The princess has sent her slaves to visit several times this morning."

Xiao Qingning has a good relationship with Lin Qingyao, and her personal maid Fuling is also familiar with Lin Qingyao, so she has no worries about speaking.

Lin Qingyao smiled slightly when she heard this, "This girl Ning'er is so restless."

"That's not because I have a good relationship with you. The princess won't be so eager for others to come."

Lin Qingyao smiled, "Then let's leave quickly, don't let her wait too long."

The three of them walked all the way to Ningxiang Hall, and Fuling entered the hall first to announce.

Ningxiang Palace was the name the emperor personally gave to his princess, which fully reflected his love for the jewel in his hand.

Lin Qingyao was in a panic when she saw Xiao Qingning coming out of the palace to greet her personally.

"Yao'er, you are finally here."

Before Lin Qingyao could react, Xiao Qingning gave her a big hug.

Lin Qingyao patted her back helplessly and said angrily: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you still miss me so much? I'm not afraid that the people in your palace will laugh at me."

Xiao Qingning refused to let go, "Huh, who among them dares to see my princess's jokes."

Lin Qingyao chuckled upon hearing this, "Yes, they don't dare to see Her Majesty the Fifth Princess's jokes. But if you don't let go, we will have even less time to talk."

Xiao Qingning felt that what Lin Qingyao said made sense, so she let her go.

"Yao'er, you are right, let's go in and talk."

Lin Qingyao shook her head helplessly and was pulled into the house by Xiao Qingning.

Fuling had already served tea and snacks with her hands and feet. Lin Qingyao sat down and took a sip of tea before starting to ask about Xiao Qingning's current situation.

"How are you doing these days?"

Xiao Qingning sighed, "What else can I do? Apart from going to greet my mother every day, I just play the piano and read books. Fifth brother doesn't have time to visit me every day, it's very boring."

He pursed his lips and said angrily: "You haven't come to see me recently, and you don't have anyone to talk to me."

Lin Qingyao smiled slightly when she heard this. Xiao Qingning had a lively and active temperament, and she couldn't last long even if she liked playing the piano.

These boring days day after day are indeed a bit difficult for her.

"Okay, seeing that you are aggrieved, I will come to talk to you often in the future."

Xiao Qingning smiled again after hearing what she said, "Really? You have to keep your word."

Seeing her like this, Lin Qingyao smiled and nodded.

"By the way, I sent someone to visit Hao'er a few days ago. His injury has almost recovered. You can rest assured."

Lin Qingyao suddenly remembered that she sent someone to see Li Zhehao a few days ago. Thinking that Xiao Qing was still concerned about his injury, she hurriedly told her.

Hearing Li Zhehao's name, Xiao Qingning recalled the scene of applying medicine to him in his room that day, and a blush appeared on her face.

Xiao Qingning's thoughts drifted away and she didn't reply for a long time.

Lin Qingyao felt a little strange when she saw that her face was slightly red but she didn't speak.

Lin Qingyao waved his hand in front of her, but she still didn't respond.

"Ning'er, Ning'er."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Lin Qingyao called Xiao Qingning twice before she finally responded.

"Did you hear what I just told you?"

Xiao Qingning came back to her senses and said, "Ah, listen...I heard it. You just said that Li Zhehao's injury has almost recovered."

Lin Qingyao nodded when she saw that Xiao Qingning still knew what she just said.

"Why are you feeling strange? Your face is suddenly so red. Could it be that you are sick?"

Lin Qingyao said, putting her hand on Xiao Qingning's forehead.

After touching it, he felt that the temperature was normal. "You don't have a fever, either?"

Xiao Qingning took away Lin Qingyao's hand in a panic, "Yaoer, I'm fine."

Lin Qingyao felt relieved when she heard that she was fine.

"It's okay."

Lin Qingyao just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xiao Qingning lower her head and say in a very low voice: "I know."

The voice was so quiet that Lin Qingyao couldn't hear it clearly even though she was sitting so close.

"Ning'er, what did you say?"

Seeing that Lin Qingyao didn't hear, Xiao Qingning raised her head and said word by word: "I said I know."

This sentence made Lin Qingyao very confused. She didn't know what Xiao Qingning knew.

"You know? What do you know?"

"I...I know that Li Zhehao has recovered from his injury. The day after he was injured, I went to see him at the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and brought him some things to replenish his body. After that, I sent people to visit him every day. Don’t worry until he recovers.”

The more Xiao Qingning spoke, the softer her voice became. When she finished her sentence, the blush on her face deepened.

After listening to Xiao Qingning's words and her shy expression, Lin Qingyao understood something.

Lin Qingyao joked: "When Hao'er blushes like this, something unspeakable must have happened when you went to see him, right?"

Xiao Qingning didn't expect to be discovered by Lin Qingyao so easily. She blushed and denied, "It's nothing, don't talk nonsense."

When Lin Qingyao saw her look, he knew that she was right, so he just smiled and did not expose her.

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking nonsense. But looking at your attitude, are you ready to commit yourself to me?"

Lin Qingyao rarely saw Xiao Qingning looking shy and couldn't help but joke.

Xiao Qingning's face turned red when she heard this, and she planned to hit Lin Qingyao.

"What did you say?"

Lin Qingyao just wanted to tease her, but seeing that she was a little anxious, she quickly said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
