The eldest princess looked at Jiang Zhiyue with an increasingly gentle gaze. This little girl was thoughtful.

The princess laughed and said, "I asked Wu Bing, but he just said it was a small matter. This kid is fooling me."

The Duke of England said solemnly, "The young general is smart, brave and heroic. It is a small matter for him. But it is a big matter for me. Even if my daughter didn't come, I would still come to thank the young general."

The princess smiled and said, "You are so kind, Duke. Please sit down with Miss Six for a while. He will be here soon."

Jiang Zhiyue sat down with a faint smile on her pretty face.

It was only a few breaths later that a notification came saying that the eldest son had arrived.

Jiang Zhiyue looked towards the door and saw him wearing a black robe, a golden belt, and a jade crown to tie his hair. His usual cold and stern temperament had never changed.

Jiang Zhiyue stood up and saluted: "How are you, Young General?"

Lu Qingxiao stood in front of her and said in a clear voice, "Sixth Miss, we are friends."

The eldest princess was sitting at the top, watching the two children fighting each other. She couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart. Why couldn't her silly son wake up?

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know what the princess was looking at, so she glanced at the Duke of England. When he nodded, she bowed to Lu Qingxiao and said, "I came here today to thank the young general for saving my life. I will give him a painting of distant mountains and flying rainbows with my humble painting skills."

"May the young general be safe and happy, and never have any regrets."

Changying understood and stepped forward, raising the slender brocade box that she had been holding in her hand for a long time in front of Lu Qingxiao.

As soon as Lu Qingxiao heard her mention the word "flying rainbow", he thought of the two flying rainbows that fell on the back mountain after the heavy rain at Huguo Temple that day.

He lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at his nose and his heart, waiting for Lu Qingxiao to take the painting.

After all, Duke Yingguo was not as thoughtful as Mr. Jiang Erye. He could not see that Lu Qingxiao looked at Jiang Zhiyue with much more concentration than others.

The eldest princess keenly noticed the changes in her son, but the little girl didn't seem to have that intention?

Lu Qingxiao took the brocade box with both hands and looked at Jiang Zhiyue: "I want to see it, can I open it now?"

Jiang Zhiyue nodded, "Give it to the Major General, and the Major General will decide."

Lu Qingxiao looked at Fu Li, who took the brocade box and put it down for Lu Qingxiao, then unfolded the painting with Chang Ying.

After unfolding the painting, the eldest princess also stood up and walked over. Her eyes fell on the painting and she could tell at a glance that this was the back mountain of the Huguo Temple.

"What a wonderful painting." The princess praised sincerely, "It feels like you are in the mountains and rivers, and the flying rainbow is even more wonderful, as if you saw it with your own eyes. The wonderful part of this painting is the flying rainbow, which is like the finishing touch."

"Zhiyue, how did you come up with this idea? You want to add two flying rainbows."

The princess seemed to like the painting more than Lu Qingxiao, the serious gift recipient.

Jiang Zhiyue was about to reply, but Lu Qingxiao said, "After the sudden rain, the reflection of the water revealed two flying rainbows."

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned. Lu Qingxiao looked at her and said, "Your painting is very good. I like it very much. Thank you."

The eldest princess looked meaningfully at her son who took the initiative to talk to her, and she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Jiang Zhiyue lowered his head, his posture submissive: "It is a blessing for this painting that the young general likes it."

Lu Qingxiao felt something was wrong. The little girl's tone when she spoke to him was unfamiliar and cold.

Although it was a thank you gift, she didn't get rid of the awkwardness with me like she did that day. Instead, she was even more polite.

"you……"

"I really envy Duke Yingguo for having such a smart daughter." The eldest princess interrupted Lu Qingxiao and looked at Duke Yingguo: "Why don't you have lunch in the mansion and stay for a while."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Jinsong will return home soon. What do you think?"

The eldest princess was a smart person and she could see that her son had a different attitude towards the little girl from the Jiang family.

She could only use their past friendship to keep the person, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to say a few words, let alone anything else.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the Duke of England. The Duke of England also wanted to meet Duke Lu. He glanced at his daughter and saw that she did not look reluctant, so he readily agreed.

The eldest princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Fu Li a look.

Fu Li wanted to put the paintings away for Lu Qingxiao, but Lu Qingxiao avoided her and put them away himself.

When I put the painting into the brocade box, I noticed that the bottom of the box seemed to be uneven.

He moved sideways to block everyone's view, and lifted up the partition underneath, revealing the warm white jade pendant with a carved dragon.

Lu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, then he calmly stuffed the pendant into his sleeve and put the painting away.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know that Lu Qingxiao had already discovered the warm white jade pendant with a carved dragon. She saw him staring at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"I changed Miss Six's whip earlier. I wonder if Miss Six is ​​using the new whip smoothly?"

Lu Qingxiao looked directly at Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue's heart trembled, knowing that he had something to say to her.

The Duke of England had not expected this to happen, and said with a smile, "It's just a whip, no problem."

The princess noticed that something was not right between her son and the young lady from the Jiang family, so she said, "Why don't you take Zhiyue to see the golden autumn chrysanthemums in the garden? They are in full bloom this year. If you like any of them, I'll send them directly to your residence."

The Duke of England was still a little confused, and just then Duke Lu came and greeted him.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyue also agreed, knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, Princess. I will trouble you, General."

The latter sentence was naturally directed at Lu Qingxiao.

Lu Qingxiao pursed his lips and glanced at her: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Jiang Zhiyue nodded and followed Lu Qingxiao.

The two men walked out of the main hall of Dingkang Hall and headed towards the garden. Changying and Fuli followed behind them, keeping a distance of half a body length.

Lu Qingxiao held the painting given by Jiang Zhiyue in one hand, and couldn't help but asked, "Why, return it to me?"

Jiang Zhiyue raised his eyes to look at him and pretended to be stupid: "What?"

"Why did you suddenly put the warm white jade pendant with a carved dragon back in the box and return it to me?"

Lu Qingxiao stared at Jiang Zhiyue, not wanting to give her a chance to escape: "You didn't remember it before, why do you want to return it to me now that you remember it?"

Jiang Zhiyue paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Before, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't know how precious this thing was. I also forgot a lot of things, so..."

"Since I gave it to you, it's yours."

Lu Qingxiao kept looking at Jiang Zhiyue, trying to see something from her face.

Jiang Zhiyue shook his head slightly. "It's not appropriate. Such a precious thing should be given to someone the Major General truly cherishes, not me."

Lu Qingxiao was confused. "What do you mean? What do you mean someone you truly cherish?"

"Such a precious warm white jade pendant with a carved dragon is not suitable to stay with me."

Jiang Zhiyue said softly, with a firm tone.

Lu Qingxiao frowned: "I personally gave it to you. If it's not suitable for you, who else can it be suitable for?"
