The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1260 Fate, Unveiling Multiple Encounters

Yun Mujiu said, "There's nothing special to arrange. It's just that the Third Young Master had surgery and needs more good medicine to recuperate. And the Eldest Young Master has come from afar, and it's a rare opportunity for him to visit Zhongyue. So I plan to send you a batch of Zhongyue herbs."

Ling Chiye's eyes twitched, and Ling Xingmu smiled excitedly, "Could it be those rare herbs that Princess Ye planted? I heard that Herb Hall and Hundred Flowers Garden have recently launched a batch of goods made from the new herbs you cultivated."

"Yes. I also cultivate a large number of rare medicinal herbs such as the Southern Xinjiang Colorful Treasure Ganoderma."

Yun Mujiu took Ye Xiaohan's arm and turned to look at Princess Ji Ling: "Ji Ling should be free too, why don't you accompany me to choose some medicinal gifts for the guests?"

Princess Ji Ling nodded slowly.

On the way to the medicine garden, Yun Mujiu deliberately quickened his pace and walked in front with Ye Xiaohan, leaving Princess Ji Ling and the Ling Chiye brothers behind.

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng also followed behind, accompanying Ling Chiye and his brother, and chatting with them from time to time.

Yun Mujiu sighed secretly: Ji Ling, my good sister, please wait, I will help you find out more information later!

After a while, everyone walked through the garden and arrived at a large courtyard.

Yun Mujiu did not take them to the greenhouse in Qichiyuan, but took them to a courtyard.

There are large herb gardens and some small greenhouses in the yard. Many of the herbs in them are transplanted from Qichiyuan, and new batches of herbs are also planted.

In addition to these newly cultivated herbs, Yun Mujiu had also been planting some herbs regularly before, with so many varieties that it was dazzling.

Yun Mujiu walked with Ye Xiaohan's arm around his, introducing the different types of herbs.

Ling Chiye quickly glanced at the couple and then looked away, sighing in his heart that the Ye Wang couple had a really good relationship.

Ling Xingmu pretended not to notice, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Ye Wang and Yun Mujiu weren't avoiding him and his elder brother's suspicions, which meant they weren't particularly wary of him and his elder brother. It made him feel like he was chatting with close friends and family.

All the way from the flower hall to the pharmacy, Princess Ji Ling kept her head down and didn't say a word to the Ling brothers.

During the conversation with Ling Xingmu, Yun Mujiu confirmed which herbs Ling Xingmu liked, and then arranged for someone to deliver them directly to him, or make them into medicines and then send them to him.

She turned around and asked Princess Ji Ling if she had any favorite flowers and plants, and whether she wanted to plant some medicinal herbs in the princess's mansion to maintain her daily beauty needs.

Princess Ji Ling finally spoke, but she nodded every time Yun Mujiu asked her what she liked.

Finally, Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange to send you a batch when the time comes."

Ye Xiaohan glanced at the Ling brothers' expressions and suddenly asked, "Young Master Ling has visited Zhongyue before, has the Third Young Master ever thought about visiting Zhongyue as well?"

Ling Xingmu sighed bitterly, "My Lord, I do want to, but my family has always forbidden me from leaving the Northern Realm. I only managed to escape from the Northern Realm by chance and come to Zhongyue. It's not really about 'traveling and studying', it's just about 'having fun'."

To put it bluntly, he had actually never been allowed to come to Zhongyue, so it was not easy for him to come this time.

Yun Mujiu casually plucked a large pink peony from a nearby flowerbed and placed it in Princess Ji Ling's hands. The pink blossom against her red dress made Ji Ling look even more beautiful than the flower.

She admired Ji Ling for a few seconds, then continued to talk to Ling Xingmu, "Didn't you go to Zhongyue when you were a child? You also met Ning Lang in Southern Xinjiang at that time."

"Yes, but I was secretly traveling with a group of merchants from the Northern Territory. It couldn't be considered a proper trip." Ling Xingmu pursed his lips. "Besides, I had just arrived in the Southern Territory and hadn't had much fun before I was captured by the guards sent by my father."

Yun Mujiu understood, "So he has never been here for a proper tour, he just stayed briefly in the Southern Realm many years ago." No wonder Ling Chiye said that Ling Xingmu had never been to Zhongyue for a tour.

In other words, considering all these experiences, Ling Xingmu had no chance of meeting Princess Ji Ling in Xiangchuan Province. On the contrary, it was more likely that Ling Chiye and Ji Ling had met!

Princess Ji Ling's ears twitched, and she heard Ling Xingmu say, "I'll travel around again when I have the chance."

Ye Xiaohan asked directly: "Haven't you been to Xiangchuan Province?"

"Kagawa Prefecture?" Ling Xingmu said, "I've never been there, but my eldest brother has been there."

Ye Xiaoxiaohan stopped talking, thinking that the young man who seemed to have contact with Ji Ling in Xiangchuan Province could not be Ling Xingmu.

Just at this moment, several people walked to a pavilion.

Sitting down on the stone chair, Yun Mujiu chatted for a while about opening her new store, and also gave Ling Chiye a VIP card of the store under her name.

"Come to think of it, the Third Young Master should have met Ji Ling before, right? One time when you went to the herbal shop to get medicine, Ji Ling happened to come to see me." At that time, Ye Xiaohan was still heading north to investigate a case.

"Yes. At that time, Master Wei Bai and I were standing in the backyard, and we saw you and the princess talking under a tree from afar."

"Some time ago, Ji Ling went to the Herb Hall to look for me. That day, the Third Young Master also came to the Herb Hall. Could it be that they bumped into each other?"

"Yeah. There were too many people on the street at the time, so I didn't see clearly. I only realized I had passed the princess after she walked away." Ling Xingmu recalled, then stood up and clasped his fists towards Princess Ji Ling: "I'm sorry, Princess, I didn't greet you in time."

Princess Ji Ling quickly stood up and waved her hand: "It's okay, I never pay attention to these empty formalities, Third Young Master, don't take it to heart."

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "It seems that the Third Young Master and Ji Ling have met each other a few times by coincidence, but they just didn't go up to say hello. It would be better to get to know each other formally."

Ling Xingmu smiled sheepishly, then sat down and said, "Actually, a while ago, when you and the prince were out and about near the city's lake, my elder brother and I also accompanied the Third Prince. Later, I happened to see the princess standing with Ning Lang, Miss Bai, Miss You, and Miss Fu from a distance."

Princess Ji Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, realizing that the two young masters of the Ling family had also seen her that day. Could it be that they had also witnessed Du Ziheng giving her the lotus?

She suddenly realized why there were so many coincidental encounters between her and Ling Xingmu.

Ling Chiye looked at Ling Xingmu reminiscing about the past, smiled gently, and spoke with a hint of gentleness.

"It seems Xingmu is lucky. He always gets to see you, Princess."

Ji Ling blushed slightly and said softly, "The capital is so small, so encounters are more frequent."

A servant placed a tray of tea and snacks on the stone table in the pavilion. Ling Chiye took a cup of tea and suddenly said, "Actually, I've met the princess by chance before. I wonder if you know about this?"

Princess Ji Ling held the teacup motionlessly, her pretty face lost in thought.

What is Ling Chiye talking about? !
