Chapter 1441: Chapter 1140 Don’t Talk Nonsense_1 Chapter 1441: Chapter 1140 Don’t Talk Nonsense_1 “I’m telling you, you can be reckless with food, but not with words. You mustn’t say such things in the future, and you’re definitely not allowed to say them to Miss Bei!” After his initial fright, Yang Ye urgently resud with a serious face, admonishing Qiao Xiaomai.
“Why? Miss Bei is so wonderful, with her qualifications, she could pick any man in the world at will,” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“Then let her pick at will. If there’s any problem with her marriage, leave it to . I’ll pick a husband for her from all over Daqi.”
“I think you, Prince, would be excellent.”
“I am excellent, but I’m not worthy of Miss Bei. It would be beneath her to marry ,” Yang Ye cleared his throat, unhesitatingly putting himself down.
He was accustod to being flattered, but Bei Lingsu was the sort that could be treated as an ancestor, and he had no desire to marry an ancestor and have to revere her.
The more he thought about it, the more dreadful he found Qiao Xiaomai’s suggestion. Yang Ye extended his forefinger and pointed at Qiao Xiaomai with a warning tone, “I’ll say it again, Miss Bei is very important to Daqi, and she’s also the lifesaver of Third Brother and . Don’t ddle in her marriage.”
“If you speak nonsense in front of Miss Bei, I won’t let you off easily.”
If he offended Bei Lingsu because of Qiao Xiaomai’s nonsense, that would be a considerable loss, so his tone was more serious than ever.
But Qiao Xiaomai was not at all afraid of him. Seeing his anxious expression, she pouted her lips disdainfully, “Hmph.”
Yang Ye pointed at her again, then turned to Tong Sanlang, who was assisting on the side, “Sanlang, keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn’t spout nonsense.”
Tong Sanlang nodded his head.
Marriage is a matter of fate; it can’t be forced. Rather than beco a resentful couple, it is better not to be together from the start.
Having received Tong Sanlang’s agreent and warning Qiao Xiaomai once more, Yang Ye finally left the kitchen.
Back in his tent, he intended to study the map as usual, but standing in front of the map, he couldn’t focus at all. Qiao Xiaomai’s words from earlier were circling in his mind.
It wasn’t about Bei Lingsu; he was thinking about himself.
He hadn’t t anyone he liked before, and had been entangled by Bai Zhi for many years. Twenty years single—when would it end…
The group proceeded slowly toward the Capital City, studying the mountains and waters they encountered. Their luggage grew more and more—half filled with research materials, and half with the herbal dicine Bei Lingsu had collected.
During this ti, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang continued their lukewarm relationship, while she grew closer to Bei Lingsu. Finally, as the end of the year approached, they hurried back to the Capital City.
They had set out in midsumr and were returning for the New Year—it was a journey of half a year.
The day they returned to the city, it happened to be snowing heavily. Goose feather-like snowflakes kept falling. Wrapped in a white tiger cloak, Qiao Xiaomai huddled her hands and entered the Imperial Palace.
Inside the Imperial Palace, Yang Wenxiao had arranged a small banquet to welco them. Emperor Yongan, Yao Xian, Yang Hao, and Yang Zheng were in attendance. Feng Huihui, visibly pregnant, made a brief appearance before returning to the East Palace.
After half a year of absence, Yang Wenxiao looked unchanged. He held his wine glass and offered a toast to Bei Lingsu.
Yang Ye, Qiao Xiaomai, and Tong Sanlang owed their lives to Bei Lingsu alone—her rit was sothing he rembered well.
Facing the imposing Yang Wenxiao, Bei Lingsu turned her head curiously. She rembered what Bei Yun had once said: “The old man in the palace isn’t easy to fool.”
After observing Yang Wenxiao for a mont, she smiled and repeated the phrase she had said a thousand tis before, regarding the healer’s parental heart being a labor of love.
While she assessed Yang Wenxiao, he too was sizing her up, seeing that she was as described in the reports. He also smiled, “Then stay in the palace for now. You and Xiaomai stay together. The New Year is coming; let’s all stay, it’ll be festive.”
