Chapter 473

He opened the box on the table, and inside was a beautiful dagger inlaid with purple gems.

Although the room was lit, it was still a little dark.As soon as the lid was opened, the surrounding area of ​​the box was filled with lustrous lavender light, one can imagine the precious gemstones inlaid on it.And such a priceless gem is only set on the dagger for decoration, so the value of this dagger can be imagined.But King Jing gave it to Fu Qingyao, the most insignificant member of the Fu family!

After the dinner, King Jing gave gifts to every young master and lady of the Fu family, but although those gifts were expensive, they were not particularly rare.As for the last piece left behind, they originally wanted to pretend that they did not know who it was for, but before leaving, Prince Jing seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally: "The young masters and ladies in Guizhuang are as rumored by the outside world. It is extremely outstanding, especially that Miss Qingyao who just left early, I think her appearance is as gentle as jade, and her bearing is extraordinary, this dagger is very suitable for her."

Fu Qingyao lowered her eyelashes, "Qingyao has indeed never seen Prince Jing before."

"..."

I can't think of anything to ask from her.Fu Hengyan frowned, sighed helplessly, and glanced at Fu Xianyan. After Fu Xianyan nodded, he waved his hand, "Forget it, you go down first..."

"Yes."

Fu Qingyao stood up straight, took two steps and was stopped again.

"and many more……"

Fu Qingyao turned around and saw Fu Hengyan put the dagger back into the box with a weary expression, and handed it to her, "Since it's for you, take it!"

By the time they left the main hall, the night had already darkened.The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and Fu Qingyao felt her body and heart were getting cold little by little, but the box in her hand became extremely hot.

The lotus garden is a little far away from the main hall. Ning Fei got the medicine earlier and was still buried in the pharmacy.When Fu Qingyao entered the room, the cloak was already half-wet, so she took it off and handed it to Ning You, and threw the box containing the hot gift to the corner of the table. Fu Qingyao sat at the table and closed her eyes for a while, before she opened it and sighed , called Ning You.

"Get hot water ready!"

From childhood to adulthood, she cherishes the time when she is not sick the most.I went back and forth in the snow several times in the middle of the night. If I didn't take a good hot bath, I would probably get a little sick again.

After taking a bath, she changed into clean clothes and sat by the stove to bake her long hair. Fu Qingyao habitually held a book in her hand, but stared blankly at the fire in front of her.

Ning Fei came in and saw her like this, and snorted coldly, "I heard that King Jing gave you a priceless gift?"

Fu Qingyao glanced at her, then at the box on the table, "You want it? Here it is for you."

Ning Fei smiled, "I don't dare. What about the things that King Jing gave me, how dare I, a waitress, move it?"

"Ning Fei," Fu Qingyao rubbed her temples, "Don't make insinuations. I have a headache."

Ning Fei sat down angrily, helped her wipe her hair, and murmured, "It's what you deserve! Don't provoke me..."

When her hair was almost dry, Fu Qingyao yawned, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."

Paused for a while, then stopped again, "Pack up your luggage!"

Ning Fei stared with two big eyes.

Fu Qingyao glanced at the box on the table, "Tianyuan Villa...I'm afraid I won't be here for long."

"..."

Ning Fei went to pack her things with a dark face.

Facts have proved that Fu Qingyao guessed right.

Before dawn, Fu Hengyan sent someone to notify Fu Qingyao to escape the winter in a small building in Danyang City.Danyang City is located in the south of Lieyang Kingdom, and it is like spring all the year round. It is really suitable for Fu Qingyao who is weak and afraid of the cold to live in.

The Fu family has an elegant courtyard in Danyang City, and a small lychee garden. The dried lychees and lychee wine produced every year are only for Tianyuan Villa's own use.

Originally, Fu Qingyao was interested in the lychee garden over there, but she didn't expect that she would be sent there in a hurry before dawn as if she had taken refuge before dawn.

Ning Fei yawned with a cold face, and stayed up almost all night to clean up her herbs.

Fu Qingyao sat on the cushion with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

The carriage was large and comfortable. Ning You was burning hot water, planning to make tea for Fu Qingyao.

The rooster just crowed, and Fu Qingyao and his party left the city with a groom and four guards.

Looking at the sun, Fu Hengyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.Tianyuan Villa couldn't refuse King Jing, but if the rightful lord wasn't around, even King Jing couldn't do anything to them.After sending away Fu Qingyao, although Tianyuan Villa could not avoid offending King Jing, it preserved Tianyuan Villa's face and status.

But he didn't know that Fu Qingyao and the others had just left when Song Chenhao received the news.

Yuan Bao stood by the table blankly and watched his highness paint, worried that he would accidentally tear the scroll into pieces.Unexpectedly, he was worried for a long time in his heart, but his lord was calm and composed, and after drawing the last stroke, he said:

"Departure."

Song Chenhao glanced at the people on the painting, "It's time to return to Beijing."

Although Yuan Bao was puzzled, he didn't ask further, "Yes."

The next day, King Jing and his party left Qicheng.The Fu family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.Fortunately, the prince did not chase after him.For the time being, they can relax.

Only Fu Hengyan thought for a while, and summoned the guards, "Go and check, is it true that King Jing and the others are heading towards the capital?"

King Jing came strangely and left in a hurry, could it be that he just came to Tianyuan Villa to give Qing Yao a gift?He doesn't believe it.If that was the case, how could he easily let her go?

Sighing, Fu Hengyan looked at the sky, "I hope...it's just overthinking."

And no matter how worried others were, Fu Qingyao, who never left the gate of Tianyuan Villa, was quite comfortable with this journey.

Compared with ordinary carriages, the comfort level of the carriage specially made by Tianyuan Villa is simply a world apart.It was freezing cold in the north, and as they headed south, the weather became warmer and the towns they passed through became more and more prosperous.The country of Lieyang is rich and the people are strong, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment in recent decades, and they have not encountered any danger along the way.

Counting the days, there is still about half a month before we can reach Danyang City.

Fu Qingyao pushed open the window of the inn and looked at the bustling market downstairs, with a rare smile in her eyes.

Originally, the road was bumpy for more than a month, and the food, clothing and housing were not as good as when they were in Tianyuan Villa, Fu Qingyao already expected that she would get sick once or twice.But I didn't expect that I ate well and slept well along the way, leisurely and carefree. I didn't suffer from minor illnesses, but my appetite improved a lot.

Ning You privately said to Ning Fei, "If I knew that the south is suitable for recuperation, the second master should have asked the young lady to come earlier!"

Ning Fei glanced at her, "Sister, summer is hot in the south, if Miss comes here in summer, she might be even more ill!"

Sighing, "But this time, it's a hit." And...

The key is……
