Hearing Luofengtang's words, Yang Ruqing smiled faintly.

"Come to think of it, isn't Qi Xingchen just your older brother!" she said.

“Not only is he, Qixingyun is also your elder brother.” she added.

Luo Fengtang was taken aback, then as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly became clear.

"Yes, my biological father is the Duke of Qi, a member of the royal Qi clan. I'm not that outsider surnamed Wang."

"So, they're really related to me by blood. Oh my, no wonder I have such a strange feeling about Prince Chen..."

When Yang Ruqing and Luofengtang were discussing this, the Crown Prince who was still lingering in the elegant room of the wine shop also looked pensive.

“Though today is the first time I have met General Luo, I feel as if I’ve known him for a long time.” he said. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Beside him, Zhang Da stood and inquired, "Oh? This old minister is also curious as to which deceased friend General Luò reminded Your Highness of?"

The Crown Prince shook his head, "I don't remember, but there's a sense of familiarity, as if we've met before!"

Deep in my memory, there is a royal uncle.

Uncle Huang treats me well, even better than Father Emperor.

That Prince Consort was once a remarkable figure, the War God before Emperor Qixingyun.

That imperial uncle was always very busy and rarely returned to the capital. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It is said that he was sent by his father the Emperor to guard the northern border and resist the invasion of the Khitan Liao dynasty.

But once he returned to the capital, he would definitely bring back many interesting things from the north for himself.

My martial arts skills and principles of being a person were all taught to me by that royal uncle.

Just nineteen years ago, news came from the north that Generalissimo's uncle, a war hero, had suffered a defeat. Since then, he has vanished without a trace.

For nineteen years, there has been no word.

These years, I've been searching in secret, but, the prince uncle is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.

Until tonight, this General Luo came over. He even thought he saw the return of his Imperial Uncle from years ago.

Facial contours, seven out of ten similar.

However, upon closer inspection, there are some differences.

And there's also an age gap between them.

"Zichuan, this General Luo is your fellow countryman, isn't he?" The Crown Prince turned his gaze to Mu Zichuan, who was accompanying him.

Mu Zi Chuan upon hearing this, put down the teacup in his hand and faced the Prince of Chen.

“To His Royal Highness King Huichen, General Luo, his wife, and me, we are all from the same village.” He said.

The Crown Prince's eyes lit up, so he and Mu Zichuan began to carefully inquire about Luofengtang's family background.

How many people are there in the family, how many mu of land in the fields, and how many chickens in the backyard...

Who are your parents, how many siblings do you have, and so on...

Mu Zichuan also truthfully reported everything he knew.

After hearing Mu Zichuan's answer, the light in Chen Wang's eyes dimmed.

“So, General Luo was born and raised in Changping Village?” he asked for confirmation again.

Mù Zǐchuān nodded: "Yes, we've played together since we were little."

The Crown Prince nodded and stopped asking further questions.

There are tons of people who look alike in this world.

Perhaps, this is just a coincidence.

However, being a coincidence can also be a kind of fate.

"Zhang Da, when you bring General Luò to meet the Emperor later, remember to look after him well."

"There are many rules at court. General Luo is exceptionally intelligent. You just need to hint, and he will understand." The Prince of Chen said.

Zhang Da ren nodded: “Your Highness, rest assured, this old minister understands.”

Soon, it was the day to attend the Qi Xingyun Haitang Meeting.

As it happened, Zhang was also at the inn when a messenger arrived with an imperial decree from the Emperor. The decree announced that Luofeng Tang, a military general renowned for his success in water management, had been summoned to the palace.

"Ha ha ha, what a coincidence! The two dates actually overlap. It seems like we still can't be husband and wife!"

As Luo Fengtang was adjusting his collar and hair inside the room, Yang Ruqing couldn't help but tease him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

As for this, Luofengtang was also helpless.

Yang Ruqing continued, "Imperial decrees are hard to disobey. Besides, the emperor summoned you because he wants to reward and honor you. Don't go into the Golden Hall with a bitter face!"

"Thinking about letting you go to Qi Xingyun's appointment alone makes me unable to laugh," Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruqing glared at him: "What? Are you still worried that Qi Xingyun will eat me?"

>

Luo Fengtang did not retort.

Yang Ruqing laughed even more merrily.

"Don't worry, you have nothing to be concerned about. With your wife's skills, if she runs into any ruffians or scoundrels, it might be the other way around – they're the ones who end up at a disadvantage!" she said.

Luo Fengtang was covered in black lines.

Yang Ruohua patted his chest and continued, "Put your heart back in your stomach. My eyes and my heart are very small, so small that they can only hold you."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"Alright, cheer up and go meet the Zhang official. Don't keep him waiting in the carriage for too long."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She urged.

Luo Fengtang nodded and took her hand: "When I return from the audience, I will go to Yunwangfu to pick you up."

Yang Ruqing nodded.

The couple parted ways for the time being, each going their separate ways.

Yun Wang Fu, Haitang Flower Meeting.

To be honest, I went to the backyard of Zhou county magistrate's house in Wanghai County town, and then to the prince's mansion of Nanwangye in Lichi City.

The new house is a blend of the strengths of both families, with touches of the style found in the Zhuozheng Garden.

Now, Yang Ruqing has seen quite a few ancient gardens and courtyards.

Stepping into Yun Wangfu, although the crabapple blossoms were indeed in full bloom, she was not dazzled by them.

"Miss Yang, why are you here alone? Where is General Luo?"

Qixingyun came to greet them, and seeing that there was no Luofengtang beside Yang Ruqing, he was surprised.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "He received a sudden imperial edict and went to see the emperor. He can't come over now. Please accept my apologies from him and Yun Wangye."

>

Face the saint?

Qixingyun thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

It's the second prince and Old Zhang again, pulling strings behind the scenes, isn't it?

Yang Ruqing's voice continued, "Besides, I'm not here alone. I brought my best friend Xiao Yaxue with me. Prince Yun shouldn't blame me for acting first and then reporting, right?"

Qixingyun came to her senses and noticed that there was a tall woman standing beside Yang Ruoqing.

The woman was also very beautiful, but standing next to Yang Ruqing, she seemed to lack some of her aura in comparison.

"How could that be? You are all guests, and this king welcomes you with open arms." Qi Xingyun immediately regained her spring-like smile and said to Xiao Yaxue.

Xiao Ya Xue also smiled graciously, saying, “Qing’er said she wanted to bring me here to broaden my horizons, so I came. The Cloud King is indeed a gracious host.”

Qi Xingyun nodded and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Just then, a servant hurried over, "Master, the old Countess of Xiang王府 and Snow Dance County Lord have arrived."

Qixingyun nodded, then turned to Yang Ruohui and said: "The old dowager of Xiangfu is my elder. I'll go pick her up first. Miss Yang, Miss Xiao, I'll have the servants take you to Huating Hall first."

Yang Ruqing said, "Your Majesty Yun, you may attend to your business as you please. My sister and I will take a stroll in the garden first. We came here today just to enjoy the scenery, didn't we?"

Qi Xingyun nodded: "That's fine, please feel free."

Then, he turned and quickly left.

The houseboy then explained the layout of the garden to Yang Ruqing and her companion, as well as the location of the flower hall where they would be dining.

Then Yang Ruqing also sent him away.

"Oh, everyone's gone. Now it's just the two of us, how nice!"

Yang Ruqing smiled sweetly.
