Capítulo 1831: Chapter 1831: King of Han
Peng Jing originally had a worried face, but upon hearing the words “this Prince,” she quickly looked up and saw a handsome face with a gentle smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and she bashfully said, “How could I be so bold?”
Qi Jinghao chuckled, “It’s alright, the weather is so hot, if you stay any longer, you might get heatstroke.”
“Well…” Peng Jing was trying to remain reserved.
“This is our esteemed Han Prince.” Guard Yuan Hua frowned, “Do you think he would deceive you?”
“Miss, the Prince is right, you should quickly see a doctor.” Zhiqiu also hurriedly chimed in.
“Then let’s go quickly.” Peng Jing, finding a reason, didn’t hold back anymore. After all, it’s the Han Prince, not someone the average person can easily meet. She couldn’t miss this opportunity.
However, Peng Jing didn’t realize that if she wasn’t in such pain from her waist, she would probably have jumped right into the carriage.
Qi Jinghao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly but quickly returned to calm, maintaining his usual gentle smile as he helped Peng Jing onto the carriage.
Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin and her companions got off the carriage at the Dikun Sect gate. They were led by palace attendants through the Dikun Sect and then walked further inside.
The older women with imperial edicts had sedan chairs to sit on.
Hen Ziyue had participated in many such banquets, so she was familiar with the process and explained the upcoming events to Yang Ruxin as they walked.
Soon, they would first kowtow to the Empress Dowager, then to the Imperial Noble Consort to congratulate her birthday. After the Emperor discussed important matters with everyone, the palace banquet could begin. Since this time there would also be a peace agreement signing, the banquet would be held in Taihe Hall. Taihe Hall is second only to Jinluan Hall and is where the Emperor discusses issues with some ministers before and after court meetings.
The location is prime, just outside the Dikun Sect gate, convenient whether going forward or backward.
“You know so much.” Yang Ruxin praised.
“Actually, I haven’t attended many times, only since last year when my mother occasionally brought me to the palace. Once you’ve attended more, you’ll get familiar too.” Hen Ziyue waved her hand nonchalantly, “But be prepared, it’s quite boring.”
Yang Ruxin laughed; this girl was very straightforward.
“Sister Xin, can I ask what fragrance you’re wearing?” Hen Ziyue suddenly leaned in closer. In fact, she wanted to ask last time at the Princess Residence but was too embarrassed with so many people around.
“I didn’t use any perfume.” Yang Ruxin shook her head.
“Then the scent on you…” Hen Ziyue’s eyes sparkled, “I’ve been learning how to make fragrances lately; your scent is very unique…”
“I’ve been neglected badly by my family before, and my health was poor. Later, my master took a long time to nurse me back to health, so the scent might be from the herbal medicine…”
“Herbal scent?” Hen Ziyue’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Right, you can add different herbs when making fragrances, it might even cure diseases… I need to ponder this carefully…”
Yang Ruxin shook her head. She might just be a medicine enthusiast; she could probably become a female Divine Doctor someday.
“Madam Gu.” Just then, Shen Shuyi hurriedly approached from behind.
Yang Ruxin turned to look at her.
“I’m really sorry about earlier, my cousin…” Shen Shuyi seemed a bit embarrassed.
