The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Thinking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart. He didn't know how Brother Wang was doing now.

I have already instructed Peilin to have his people look after Brother Wang to the best of their ability, as a way of repaying Brother Wang for taking care of me over the past few days.

Yang Qi knew that if it weren't for Brother Wang's mediation and persistence, his life would have been even more difficult.

Yang Qi was not in a good mood until he entered the Eastern Palace.

Because Yang Qi entered the East Palace secretly, he did not enter through the main door or the side door, but was brought in by Xiaoqing and Adu and climbed over the wall.

However, the three were able to succeed because Chief Peilin had already issued an order that if Miss Yang Qi entered the East Palace, she must not be stopped. That's why the secret guards on duty turned a blind eye.

The person who came out to greet Yang Qi was Peilin.

Yang Qi looked at Peilin who was standing in front of him with a serious face, feeling a little surprised: "Pelin, you are not with His Highness, why are you here?" Isn't Peilin His Highness's personal bodyguard?

Peilin bowed to Miss Yang Qi and said, "Miss Yang Qi, His Highness is in the palace now. Considering that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, he asked me to stay in the East Palace."

Yang Qi nodded. Peilin was the most trusted confidant of His Highness and he could indeed handle the situation in an emergency.

"I see. Peilin, where should I go to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Since His Royal Highness is in the palace now, it would probably take a lot of time to go back and forth, so it would be better for me to find a place and wait first.

"Miss Yang Qi, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already ordered people to clean up a courtyard for Miss Yang Qi to rest. If you have no problem, you can go to the courtyard and rest for a while."

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talks about love, he is really amazing. As someone who is close to him, Peilin sees it very clearly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely fond of Miss Yang Qi. Not only can he give her rare jade pendants and other favorite items whenever she wants, he has even cleaned up the yard in advance.

Yang Qi didn't think much about it. It was just a temporary stopover, and a place to stay was enough: "No problem here. If you have anything to do, just find someone to take us there."

If there was no urgent matter to deal with, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have left Peilin in the Eastern Palace.

Peilin apologized slightly: "Thank you Miss Yangqi for your understanding." Then, Peilin asked the people around him to take Yangqi to the courtyard that had been arranged earlier.

"Miss, you can feel free to look through all the items prepared in the yard." Looking at Miss Yang Qi's back as she turned and left, Peilin added this sentence inexplicably.

"Si Xi?" Yang Qi looked at the plaque in front of the courtyard and felt a little curious. The name given by His Highness was quite interesting.

After entering the yard, Yang Qi finally understood what Peilin had just said.

The yard is not big, but it is decorated very warmly. As soon as he entered the yard, Yang Qi felt a breeze coming, and what caught his eyes were bamboos of varying sizes. Isn't this His Highness' favorite plant?

Over the years, His Highness has always been surrounded by the scent of bamboo. It turns out that he actually lives in a "bamboo forest" every day.

"Are these bamboos trimmed by special craftsmen?" Yang Qi pointed to the small "bamboo forest".

The secret guard pointed out by Peilin to lead the way shook his head and said, "Most of the bamboos in the East Palace are taken care of by special people, but the bamboos here were planted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. The small ones were newly planted by His Royal Highness, and the big ones were moved from His Royal Highness's yard."

It turned out that His Highness planted it himself? Yang Qi's curiosity and love for this courtyard grew stronger.

After passing through the small bamboo forest, there is an ordinary two-courtyard house.

Opening the main room and looking at the scenery in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes. Did His Highness build a second lakeside courtyard here?

The layout and arrangement of the house were exactly the same as his own lakeside courtyard, the only difference being that it was a little larger.

There are six bookshelves in the main room, filled with books divided by type.

Yang Qi happily flipped through a few books quickly, Your Highness, you are really thoughtful.

Behind the desk, there was a piece of calligraphy. Yang Qi recognized the handwriting. It was from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"There is a beautiful person, I never forget her when I see her. I miss her like crazy when I don't see her for a day. The phoenix is ​​flying high, and the four seas are looking for her."

After reading this book, Yang Qi blushed. Your Highness is really... too direct.

When Yang Qi first saw the plaque of the courtyard, he had a vague guess about the word "Si Xi", but he couldn't be completely sure. But now His Highness had clearly hung the reason behind the desk, and even if Yang Qi wanted to play dumb, he couldn't get over it.

After carefully reading His Highness's words several times, Yang Qi smiled and put it back to its original place, then picked a book from the bookshelf and sat by the window to read it quietly. Among them, Xiao Qing sent some cakes and fruits, but they were all the kinds that Yang Qi usually liked.

After coming out of the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got on the carriage. He looked tired and couldn't help rubbing his temples.

The guard outside said in a voice that only His Highness could hear beside the carriage: "Your Highness, Chief Peilin sent a message that someone from Sixi Court is coming. Should we hurry back to the East Palace now?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened his eyes and smiled. This girl finally showed up: "Go back."

By the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared in Sixi Courtyard, it was already dark. The maids in the room had already lit candles and were reading carefully by the candlelight.

For some reason, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw this scene, all the fatigue he had felt in the past few days seemed to burst out, but he didn't want to ruin this rare beauty.

A breeze blew by, making Yang Qi feel a little cold. Just as she was about to look up and close the window slightly, she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the small bamboo forest, staring blankly in her direction.

The moment Yang Qi saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a huge smile appeared on his face, and he quickly ran to the door: "Your Highness, you are finally back."

The maid pretended to be caught peeping, but His Royal Highness did not feel embarrassed at all. He walked into the house with a tired body and said, "I heard that you have something to talk to me about today?"

Yang Qi nodded, and seeing the unconcealed sadness between His Highness' brows, she decided to pour His Highness a cup of tea first, then walked behind His Highness and gently pressed: "Your Highness, do you know about the promotion of Duke Song this time?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not speak, but just raised his hand and nodded slightly.

Yang Qi's hands kept moving, but His Highness must have been very nervous these days, and his muscles were very tense. After a little thought, Yang Qi increased the strength of his hands: "Your Highness, Xiao Qi wants to know why?"

Why was Song Hongwen, who had done nothing, promoted? What conflicts of interest were involved?
