The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After being delayed for such a long time, even if Pei Di and his companions slowed down their pace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Qi and Pei Lin would not be able to catch up within two or three days.

These past few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Peilin could only travel alone with Yang Qi.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Peilin have extensive experience in outdoor accommodation and traveling at night, so Yang Qi doesn't need to worry about anything else. He just needs to make sure he can keep up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's speed.

Yang Qi originally thought that tonight would be the same as last night, with the three of them choosing a secluded place to rest, but he did not expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Peilin would ride their horses into the mountains and only stop in front of a hunter's house.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not arrived yet, but there were already two people waiting outside the house, both in their forties, a man and a woman, and they should be a couple.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming in person, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Master." There was no lack of excitement and joy in their words.

After working for His Highness for so many years, this was the first time that the two of them were able to report matters to His Highness the Crown Prince in person.

"Get up." Yuan Ruiyuan quickly glanced at the layout outside the house and the surrounding environment, and made sure that there was no ambush before entering the house, with Yang Qi following closely behind.

The house where the couple lived was built of mud and was extremely simple. Fortunately, the house was sturdy and not drafty.

After Yang Qi followed His Highness into the room, he looked around.

The courtyard was simple. Apart from the toilet and kitchen outside, there was only the main hall where everyone was now and a small room inside.

Seeing the girl's curious head looking around, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked jokingly, "I wonder if this young lady has found anything unusual?"

Hearing the words of His Royal Highness, Yang Qi was a little stunned. Little lady? Isn't this the language used by playboys to tease girls in the storybooks?

Is this really what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said? Or did I hear it wrongly?

Yang Qi looked at the Crown Prince with some uncertainty. Sure enough, this man was looking at her with a teasing expression.

At this moment, Yang Qi's heart seemed to be beating like a deer, and his face was once again shy: "I... didn't find anything... unusual."

Yang Qi was confused and stumbling over what he said.

As Yang Qi finished speaking, Peilin came into the room carrying tea and said, "Your Highness, there is something outside to report."

Yang Qi was very perceptive and immediately reported: "Your Highness, we have been busy all day. Xiao Qi will go to the kitchen to see if he can find something to eat."

Yuan Ruiyuan saw Yang Qi's red face, smiled and nodded slightly: "Go, I have to finish these things first. If you are hungry, have something to eat first."

In order to meet Du Chuan in time today, the three of them did not have dinner. Now, the girl must be hungry.

Shaking his head, Yang Qi squinted his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness, Xiao Qi is not hungry now, so it is more important to prepare the meal first."

After saying that, Yang Qi quickly turned around and walked out of the house in two steps.

In the kitchen, the woman who had greeted His Highness outside the prey was now preparing food. Seeing Yang Qi enter the room, she smiled and said, "Miss, the food will be ready soon. You can eat in a moment."

Yang Qi touched his face, which was warm. He felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart and some regret.

Song Yangqi, Song Yangqi, look at you, you have no self-control. This is the umpteenth time that a single word from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make you upset.

Next time, when His Highness says something "inappropriate", I must keep calm!

Yes, you must hold on!

The woman was surprised to see Miss Yang Qi standing there in a daze without saying anything. She hesitated for a moment and raised her voice, "Miss?"

Hearing the woman's raised voice, Yang Qi finally reacted: "Well, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yang Qi's reaction, the woman smiled and explained: "Miss, the kitchen smells a lot of smoke. You should go out and wait. The food will be ready soon."

"It's okay. I'll come and help. With more people, we can all eat earlier." Yang Qi came to the kitchen to take shelter as he couldn't stay in the house in the first place.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss." Although the woman said this on her face, in fact she didn't dare to assign any work to Miss Yang Qi. She just wanted Miss Yang Qi to not hold back.

Yang Qi looked at the food the woman had prepared, which were steamed buns, braised pork and vegetables.

Here, being able to eat braised pork is a great luxury.

However, since Yang Qi came to the kitchen, she had to make something, otherwise she would not be able to explain to His Highness.

After washing his hands, Yang Qi planned to boil some water to cook some noodles.

There are few ingredients available in the kitchen, apart from flour, meat, vegetables, and some noodles.

The noodles would tend to clump together if left for too long, and since the water was boiling, it would be quick to cook the noodles, so Yang Qi waited in the kitchen and waited for any movement from His Highness before putting the noodles in the pot.

Yang Qi had a good control of time. When the noodles came out of the pot, the hunter in the main room left the room the next moment.

Taking a plate, Yang Qi placed three bowls of noodles on the plate, and then took the woman to the main room.

With both hands occupied, Yang Qi had no choice but to ask, "Your Highness, dinner is ready. Is it convenient to eat now?"

"come in."

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, Peilin opened the door from inside the house.

There was only a table and four chairs in the main room, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting on one of them.

Yang Qi placed the noodles in front of His Highness: "Your Highness, the ingredients are simple, so I'll have to make do with what I have. If it were in a small kitchen, Xiao Qi would definitely be able to make it more delicious."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up his chopsticks and said, "In that case, I will look forward to the noodles you make in the small kitchen."

Yang Qi shook her head somewhat proudly: "Your Highness, just wait and see." Then, Yang Qi handed the other bowl to Peilin.

After the woman served the steamed buns and dishes, she closed the door and left.

When traveling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never picks and chooses about food, as long as he is full. This time, the noodles were cooked by the maid herself, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that they were particularly delicious.

After eating, Yang Qi’s eyelids began to droop due to sleepiness.

Seeing Yang Qi so sleepy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pointed inside the house and said, "Go and rest if you feel sleepy. You can stay in the inner room today. I and Peilin will stay in the main room. Go and sleep without any worries."

Yang Qi quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, you are embarrassing me. How can I let you sleep in the main room?" This room was originally cleaned up for Your Highness to take a nap.

"Just go to sleep peacefully. I and Peilin are men, so we can accommodate you. Would it be convenient for you to rest outside?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want Yang Qi to refuse again, so he gently held Yang Qi's shoulders and took Yang Qi to the inner room.

"Don't refuse. Take the time to rest. We have to set off as soon as the sun rises. There isn't much time left."

His Highness did not give Yang Qi time to continue to refuse, so Yang Qi had no choice but to simply wash up in the inner room and close her eyes to rest.
