Chapter 95.1 â Away From Her
Although another change happened in the capital, at the end of the day, neither King Wei nor King Wu was close to Qi Yang. The two of them just listened to the news, and did not even change their itinerary.
In the evening, the princessâs mansion entourage leisurely embarked on a journey back to the capital. This time, there was an extra cart in their lineup carrying goods, with baskets stacked on top of each other. In addition to the grapes that Lu Qipei wanted to pick, they also brought a lot of crops from the hamlet.
When they returned to the princessâs mansion, Lu Sheng was already tired from playing around for a day, and was taken back to rest early by the maids.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang also returned to their room. They changed their clothes and washed up as usual, then went to relax after everything was sorted out.
Qi Yang sat in front of the dressing table, letting the maids help her remove her makeup and untie her bun. Lu Qipei looked to the side and decided to take over, dismissing all the maids in the room.
Through the smooth bronze mirror, Qi Yang glanced at the person behind her, and was too lazy to say anything.
Lu Qipei didnât say anything either. She focused on pulling the hairpin from Qi Yangâs head and untying her hair, then took a small comb to smooth her long hair bit by bit. Her movements were gentle and patient, and her performance was no worse than those of the maids.
The room remained quiet for a long time, until Lu Qipei finished taking care of Qi Yangâs long hair and squeezed her shoulders, saying, âWhat is it? We only went for a fun trip today, are you so tired that you donât even want to talk?'â
Qi Yang was a bit tired, but itâs not from playing outside. She raised her hand and took Lu Qipeiâs hand, looked at the two figures in the bronze mirror, and sighed. âIâm not tired, just annoyed. Those brothers of mine â if theyâre too smart, then Iâll have to worry about the stability of Royal Brotherâs throne. But now that theyâre too stupid, why am I not feeling at ease at all? Instead, Iâm even more worried!â
Lu Qipei knew that she must have still been upset by the news this afternoon.
Itâs not that Qi Yang thought much of these brothers, but there really was something evil lurking this year. Ever since Lu Qipei took care of King Chu, these princes had had accidents one after the other. It really made people think that thereâs something strange.
Qi Yang had always had an acute perception. In the past life, she could detect her prince consort being replaced, and in this life, she had also gradually sniffed something from this unusual situation. It made her feel a bit uneasy, but she couldnât figure out the reason, so she became even more worried.
Lu Qipei gripped Qi Yangâs hand back and didnât know what to say for a while. After thinking for a moment, she said, âKing Wu has been injured, and his head is hurt. He probably needs to recuperate for a while. If youâre worried, you can go visit him tomorrow.â
Qi Yang didnât care much about King Wu, but she understood what Lu Qipei meant by her words. The news they had from the court was limited; it was better to go to King Wu directly and ask him why he got into such a big fight with King Wei.
So after thinking for a moment, Qi Yang nodded, but said, âIf Iâm visiting the sick, Iâd have to bring him a gift. Itâs reallyâ¦â
Lu Qipei smiled and said, âEven if you donât go, youâd still have to send him a gift.â
That was true. Her Royal Highness The Princess thought more, then said, âThen, I will bring a basket of grapes to him tomorrow, which counts as a gift for visiting the sick. I went to the hamlet to pick them myself, so it can count as being cheap towards him.â
Lu Qipei laughed and buried her head on Qi Yangâs shoulder, saying, âYour Highness, why are you so stingy? You should at least take a couple of bags of medicinal herbs with you.â
Seeing her smile, Qi Yang couldnât help but curve her lips as well, but she pretended to be serious and replied, âSince the Prince Consort said so, letâs add a few more bags of medicinal herb, so he wouldnât run out of them anymore. So if those brothers of mine get in a fight again and got hurt, they still won ât be able to use up all out gifts.â
As the two chatted and laughed, the originally dull atmosphere also became more relaxed.
The atmosphere was just right, and the beauty was in front of her. Lu Qipei picked up Qi Yang and turned back to their bed. But as soon as she put her down and was about to do something, she was rejected by a white and tender little hand on her shoulder. âThe Royal Physician said that you need to be in moderation.â
Lu Qipei choked and could only watch Qi Yang turn over and roll into the inner side of the bed, away from her.
