At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

On the carriage, Xue Tuan'er looked at Long Yue opposite him with hostility.

He couldn't tell where the hostility came from, it was just that he didn't like him.

Also displeased was Xiao Bai, who glanced at Long Yue from time to time with a defensive look in his eyes.

Long Yue noticed their gazes and couldn't help but feel funny. He raised his eyebrows lightly, then looked at Jin Bao with a smile and asked: "Jin Bao, is he the little tiger from back then?"

In order to protect Jinbao, he resisted those thunders, but he didn't expect that it would be a blessing in disguise, and his health would get better. This little guy looked very unfamiliar, and he must have looked like the little tiger in disguise.

"Hmm, Longlong is so smart. He is Xue Tuan'er, and he has grown up now."

Jin Bao turned around and patted Xue Tuan'er on the head, and said: "Xue Tuan'er, this is Long Long. It was he who blocked the thunder for you in the first place. You can't forget it."

If Longlong hadn't helped her block the thunder, I don't know what she would have been like.

Xue Tuan'er raised her eyes and glanced at Long Yue, then nodded reluctantly.

The person who protected him at the beginning was obviously Jin Bao, not this person. Anyway, he didn't block the thunder for himself, so he shouldn't be grateful.

Long Yue looked at his extremely reluctant expression and curved the corners of her mouth.

He remembered that he had never offended this little guy, and he really didn't know where his defense came from.

Jin Bao didn't notice anything was wrong. When she saw Xiao Xiaobai's snow-white hair, the figure of the old man with a white beard suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Longlong, where is the old god? I miss him so much."

It was only because of the white wolf's hair that I was reminded of it. I wonder what Divine Doctor Wang would think if he knew about it.

"Grandpa has been staying in the capital. It's a bit late today. I'll arrange for you to meet early tomorrow morning. How about that?"

He has already sorted out the Queen's minions over the years, so he doesn't have to worry so much when dealing with the Zheng family in the future.

Jin Bao's little face wrinkled slightly, a little embarrassed, "But what if I go back to Houyan Village tomorrow?"

Although returning to the village could be postponed, delivering the books was urgent and she didn't want to change her plan.

After all, going to the border is a big deal and must be implemented as soon as possible.

"Are you going back to the village tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?" Long Yue frowned slightly when he heard that she was going back, and his tone was reluctant.

The two haven't seen each other for several years. Today they finally get together. If they say goodbye tomorrow, it won't be certain when they will meet again.

"I have something to do when I return to the village, so I'm in such a hurry." Jin Bao said with some regret.

In fact, she has many questions to ask the old god, but there is nothing she can do about this situation now, she can only wait until next time.

"I understand. I will arrange for you to meet again when you come to Beijing next time." Long Yue turned to look at the beautiful figure beside her and chose not to ask any more questions.

He has always known that Jin Bao is different and that she has her own mission.

Seeing that Long Yue understood him, a bright smile appeared on Jin Bao's little face.

"Then Longlong, would you like to come to our house for dinner today?"

"it is good!"

"Let me tell you, the wine we brew at home is now a tribute wine. The emperor even praised it for how delicious it is. Is it great?"

"Great!"

……

Long Yue nodded, looked at her lovingly, and answered every question she asked seriously.

Speaking of tribute wine, Jin Bao remembered his father's appearance when he entered the palace, with a little tangle on his face.

"Back then, my father went to the palace with my grandfather. When he came back, he said that his legs were so scared that he didn't even dare to look at what the emperor looked like. He was really a coward."

Hearing this, Long Yue couldn't help but laugh.

Of course he knew what Boss Zheng looked like back then. Although he didn't dare to show his face, he was always watching from behind.

The scene of that day is vivid in my mind:

On that day, his father announced that Boss Zheng would enter the palace, and Prime Minister Zhao accompanied him.

Originally, they could leave after the reward was awarded, but he remembered that Boss Zheng had said that he wanted to drink with his father, so he mentioned it to his father and asked him to hold a banquet in honor of them.

Although he didn't go through that meal, he kept paying attention to what was going on over there.

At that time, Mr. Zheng looked at the table full of royal food but did not dare to take off his chopsticks and kept eating the rice with his head down.

When his father raised his glass to toast, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and his hands were shaking so much that he could barely hold the glass.

At that time, he only wanted to fulfill Boss Zheng's wish, but he did not expect that his reaction would be so big.

If he knew his identity in the future, I wonder if he would regret what he said.

Jin Bao looked at Long Yue's smiling face and couldn't help but said: "Long Long, you look so beautiful when you smile, even better than your brothers."

She has so many brothers, all of them are very handsome, but they seem to be missing something compared to Long Long.

The tips of Long Yue's ears turned slightly red at her words of praise.

He never liked others mentioning his appearance. Unexpectedly, when he heard Jin Bao say that he was good-looking today, he didn't feel disgusted. Instead, he was a little happy, as if he had heard it many times before.

"Jinbao looks better."

He hesitated for a long time before saying this.

Long Yi, who was sitting outside driving the carriage, heard the conversation inside and suppressed laughter until his face turned red. This was the first time he saw his master speak in such a tone.

Soon, the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived.

Long Yue jumped out of the carriage first and told Long Yi to go in and say hello.

When Prime Minister Zhao learned that his granddaughter had returned with His Highness the Crown Prince, he was so frightened that he immediately ran out of the house to greet her.

He saw the figure standing at the door, and he swallowed back the respectful words as soon as they reached his lips.

"Grandpa, this is Longlong. He also lived in Houyan Village when he was a child, and we are neighbors." Jinbao hugged Prime Minister Zhao's arm and introduced him with a smile.

Prime Minister Zhao held it in for a long time and finally said, "Well, the young master is quite handsome."

He looked at that cold face and complained in his heart. He was obviously His Highness the Crown Prince, but he was pretending to be a neighbor. This made him feel very anxious and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Long Yue looked frightened, leaned over and saluted, "Prime Minister Zhao is so complimentary."

"Longlong, you're welcome. Grandpa is very nice. Let's go in first. Dad will be back later."

Jin Bao said and was about to pull Long Yue into the house. Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Zhao quickly walked over and squeezed her away, then walked beside Long Yue to guide him.

Men and women are not allowed to be intimate, so he cannot let his good granddaughter get too close to the prince.

Xue Tuan'er took the opportunity to walk to Jin Bao, stretched out her little hand to hold her sleeve, and whispered: "Sister, you should hold my hand and go. He is accompanied by his grandfather."

Jinbao smiled, pinched his little face, took his hand and followed.

In the front hall, Prime Minister Zhao looked at Long Yue sitting opposite, his mouth opened but he didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked: "Why... Mr. Long is with my Jinbao?"

"We met halfway, and after we recognized each other, we came to the Prime Minister's Mansion together." Long Yue said happily without being embarrassed at all.

"I see."

After saying one sentence, there was no movement again.

[This chapter is two in one]

Just as Prime Minister Zhao was sitting on pins and needles, Boss Zheng walked in holding two jars of wine.

"Dad, put these two jars of wine here first. I will take them to give away early tomorrow morning."

He put the wine aside on the ground, and then realized that there were outsiders in the room.

"Hey~ Are there guests? This guy is from whose family. He is so handsome."

Prime Minister Zhao looked at him with wide eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Long Yue stood up and leaned over slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, long time no see. Don't you remember me?"

When Boss Zheng heard what he said, he was a little curious. He went over and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he shouted in surprise: "You are not that boy Long Yue, are you?"

The changes were so big that he really didn't dare to recognize them.

"Uncle, it's me." Seeing that he recognized her, Long Yue smiled.

Boss Zheng patted him on the shoulder, looked at him excitedly, and said, "Good boy, you've grown taller than me after not seeing each other for a few years. Where have you been staying all these years? Why haven't we seen you in the capital?"

He was so excited when he suddenly saw an acquaintance that he even forgot about his daughter. Usually when he got home, the first thing he looked for was Jinbao.

Prime Minister Zhao was so frightened when he saw his careless appearance, but he couldn't reveal the identity of the prince at this time, so he had to secretly wink at his son-in-law.

"Dad, what's wrong with your eyes? Do you want to let Jinbao take a look? By the way, where's Jinbao?"

Seeing him blinking all the time, Boss Zheng thought there was something wrong with his eyes, and then he thought of his daughter.

"Ahem~ Jinbao went to the back to arrange the kitchen to prepare meals. Why don't you go over and take a look?"

Seeing that he couldn't understand his reminder, Zhao Cheng pretended to cough a few times in embarrassment. In order to prevent him from offending His Royal Highness, he thought of sending him away.

"What am I doing in the back? I can't be of much help. I haven't seen Long Yue for a long time, so I'd better chat here."

Boss Zheng enthusiastically pulled Long Yue to sit down, not noticing how complicated Prime Minister Zhao's face was at all.

Soon it was time to eat. Prime Minister Zhao and the old lady both knew Long Yue's identity and couldn't let go.

Boss Zheng didn't have any scruples. He held a jar of wine and drank with Long Yue.

"Long Yue, we uncle and nephew have not seen each other for a long time. We must have a drink today. Did you give your father a taste of the wine I asked you to bring back?"

"I tried it, and my dad liked it very much." Long Yue nodded.

If you don't like it, how can you become a tribute wine?

"Haha~ Just like it, just like it. I also said that I had the opportunity to sit and drink with your father, but I didn't expect that I drank with you first."

Mr. Zheng laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears.

Prime Minister Zhao lowered his head and couldn't bear to look directly. He also wanted to sit and drink with the emperor. He didn't see him drinking last time when he entered the palace. It was really shameless.

I thought he had improved in the past two years, but I didn't expect that he was still the same.

Hearing that Boss Zheng mentioned that he wanted to drink with his father again, Long Yue said slowly with a smile in his eyes: "There will be a chance. My father often talks about you. I hope my uncle will not see you outside."

It's not difficult to want to go to the palace to drink, but I don't know if he will dare to drink then.

"Don't see the outside world, don't see the outside world. I will definitely drink your father down when the time comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Zhao was so frightened that he coughed.

"Cough cough cough~"

He dares to say such treacherous words, he is really not afraid of death.

Boss Zheng looked at him with concern, "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable in your throat? The weather has been a bit dry recently. Let Jinbao prescribe some medicine for you."

"No, if you stop talking I'll be fine." Prime Minister Zhao glared at him and said in a low voice.

Boss Zheng was puzzled by his glare. After taking a bite of meat, he picked up the wine glass.

"Come on, Long Yue, your kid will be eighteen this year, right? Are you getting married?"

As soon as Long Yue picked up the cup, her hand shook in shock at his question and some of the wine spilled out.

He smiled awkwardly and began to reply calmly: "Uncle, I was joking. I'm new to the world and don't want to get married so early."

Speaking of getting married, his father had urged him more than once, but he had no intention of getting married at all, so he left it alone.

When Boss Zheng heard what he said, he shook his head helplessly.

"You guys don't know what you are thinking. Our Xiaowu hasn't gotten married yet. It's useless for anyone to urge her. You should compare with him."

When children grow up, they all have their own ideas, and they may not listen to them no matter how reasonable they are.

"Xiao Wu may already have a girl he likes, uncle, don't worry." Long Yue advised.

Back when he was in Houyan Village, he could tell that Xiao Wu looked at Yu Yan in an unusual way. Whether the two could be together depended on the depth of their fate.

"I'm too lazy to care about that brat. He will cry when he can't get a wife."

Boss Zheng waved his hand, not wanting to mention him any more.

Seeing that he didn't mention her again, Long Yue put down the cup and breathed a sigh of relief.

Prime Minister Zhao sat aside picking up vegetables silently, observing Long Yue's expression from time to time. The meal was tasteless.

After dinner, Long Yue knew that Jin Bao was leaving tomorrow, so he wanted to take her out to buy some things.

"Uncle, please rest first while Jinbao and I go out for a walk."

"Let's go, let's go! You two haven't seen each other for a long time. Remember to come back early." Boss Zheng waved his hand without thinking too much.

Prime Minister Zhao was so angry that he almost broke his teeth when he saw how neatly he agreed.

But since Long Yue was here, he didn't dare to say anything.

After the two left, he pointed at Boss Zheng's nose and cursed: "You bastard, he is a man, how can you let Jin Bao leave the house with him at will."

As a minister, he knew the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally he did not dare to refuse.

But the son-in-law didn't know anything and didn't stop him. He was really angry.

Suddenly being scolded by his father-in-law, Boss Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he touched his nose aggrievedly and defended:

"Long Yue is a good boy. It's safe for Jinbao to go out with him. He saved Jinbao several times when they were in Houyan Village."

In his eyes, Long Yue is more reliable than his own son, so he has nothing to worry about letting his precious daughter go out to play with him.

When he heard that Long Yue had saved Jin Bao, Prime Minister Zhao paused slightly. He didn't know that there was such a thing, but they were completely different things.

"Jin Bao is now ten years old. Even if we are familiar with each other, there should be differences between men and women."

After all, he still didn't want his good granddaughter to have too much contact with the royal family. Once she entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. His granddaughter only needed to have a safe and smooth life, and there was no need to cling to the powerful.

Boss Zheng lowered his head and listened quietly, not daring to refute. Although he could not think of so much, he also knew that what his father-in-law said was correct.
