438 Shocked (3)
However, Ji Yunxi did not care. “Did you see that? She looked at me as if I had snatched her beloved toy.”
“Xuanyuan Ce will really treat you as that woman’s…” Mo Yu did not finish her sentence, but both of them understood.
Ji Yunxi stroked the bud between her eyebrows and sneered. “Otherwise, why do you think he lost his composure repeatedly in front of me?”
“It seems that there’s something else going on back then. It’s really interesting.”
With the identity of Xuanyuan Ce’s daughter, the Xuanyuan Kingdom did not seem so troublesome.
Mo Yu felt that Xuanyuan Ce was not so easy to fool, but when she saw her young master’s confident expression, her trust in her surpassed her uneasiness.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Xuanyuan Ce did not blame Chu Feng for inviting her into the courtyard without permission. He did not refuse Xuanyuan Ziming’s offer to accompany him for dinner.
Xuanyuan Ye was in a daze. This was the first time she had eaten at the same table as her father.
However, she could not be happy because she knew why her father allowed her to sit here.
When she fell asleep last night, Shen Yijia felt that she had forgotten something. Even when she fell asleep, she couldn’t sleep well. She woke up the moment Song Jingchen moved in the morning.
Song Jingchen reached out and patted her back rhythmically. He said softly, “It’s still early. Continue sleeping.”
These words and his gentle patting seemed to have magic, almost making Shen Yijia fall asleep again.
She forced her eyelids open and grabbed Song Jingchen’s hand. She muttered about how Pinellia had seen her eldest daughter and how Ji Yunxi might be from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.
Song Jingchen frowned. He felt that something was wrong when Eunuch Li mentioned Miss Ji.
The emperor was sick, and there happened to be such a divine doctor in the old prince’s residence.
He did not believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, but he did not expect it to be someone from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.
He recalled the rumor that the people in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets only assisted people acquainted with emperors and generals.
He naturally did not think that the emperor was that kind of person, so he deduced that someone used a noble’s name to send her to the emperor’s side.
Song Jingchen put away his thoughts and looked at Shen Yijia’s forehead. The medicine had lost its effect, and the flower bud appeared again.
He reached out and stroked it gently. “I’ll investigate what Pinellia said. As for Ji Yunxi, it’s best if you don’t meet her. If you do, you don’t have to take notice of her.”
He paused and said, “Don’t let her see the flower bud on your forehead.”
Speaking of this, Shen Yijia wanted to laugh. She perked up and told him about the flower bud between the eyebrows of the female students.
Song Jingchen was speechless.
He felt that this girl was a little silly, but her luck was extraordinary. It was as if the heavens were on her side.
The noble ladies in the capital followed suit. It looked like a small matter, but it could confuse one’s eyes.
If someone accidentally saw the flower bud between this girl’s eyebrows one day, they would only treat her as a copycat and not directly associate her with the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.
Seeing that Shen Yijia was getting more and more energetic, he said helplessly, “Alright, go to sleep. You won’t be able to sleep later.”
It turned out that he had underestimated Shen Yijia. The person who was talking excitedly a moment ago turned around and snored.
Song Jingchen kissed her between her eyebrows in amusement.
After some thought, he was still a little worried. He asked South Wind to find Mo Yuan and give her detailed instructions before leaving.
She slept until dawn. It was already past the time for classes in the academy.
Shen Yijia asked Mo Yuan to apply medicine on her again and rushed to the front courtyard, but she only saw Madam Li at home.
Madam Li explained, “I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t let them wake you up.”
Knowing what Shen Yijia wanted to ask, she said, “I asked Lin Shao and Bruiser to send Brother Hao and the other two off. Otherwise, those two children won’t be able to help. They can go out for a walk.”
Usually, Lin Shao and Bruiser would fight to do whatever she did. They were also the ones cleaning the courtyard every day.
Madam Li was meticulous and naturally saw their uneasiness.
Shen Yijia finished a bowl of porridge with pickled vegetables and added another bowl to drink slowly. She rubbed her chin and said, “Then let the two of them bring the children to school in the future. When they return, I’ll get them to help me do something.”
According to her beautiful husband, there was no hurry to open the bookstore for the time being, but she had to carve some words first. Lin Shao and Bruiser could help with a lot of things here.
After breakfast, Shen Yijia informed Madam Li and left with Mo Yuan. She had to prepare the things she needed first.
She could not reveal this matter yet, so she did not intend to hire anyone to carve it for the time being.
Neither of the two carriages were at home. They walked there. When they arrived at Chang’an Avenue, Shen Yijia was stunned.
Seven of the ten girls she saw had flower buds drawn between their eyebrows.
She didn’t know what they were thinking, but she saw several colors.
The customs of this dynasty were more open than the previous dynasty. There was no rule that women had to wear a veil when they went out. Other than those noble ladies, many people no longer wore veils.
However, it was different today. There were veils and flower buds everywhere.
Shen Yijia had never seen the previous dynasty. Otherwise, she would have suspected that she had transmigrated to the previous dynasty after sleeping for the night.
She was not the only one who was shocked. Ji Yunxi and Xuanyuan Ce, who had left the Hidden Spirit Temple, were also shocked.
They must have gone down the mountain in the wrong way!
