"Ruojiang, take this outside," Qian Ningning pointed to a pot of flowers.
Lu Ruojiang was wearing a blue round-necked robe with cuffed sleeves, making him look elegant while still being able to work.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and no one would have thought that the gentle and upright Lu Ruojiang was actually a sly fox who had been hiding in Qiantang for three years for the sake of his beloved.
Not to mention that his favorite thing in the past was to travel all over the country, and it was never heard that he had stayed anywhere.
For the past three years, Lu Ruojiang has been wanting to tell Qian Ningning about his identity, but when it comes to the crunch, he hesitates, thinking about waiting a little longer, and then waits for three years.
As the closest person to Lu Ruojiang, Qian Ningning naturally can perceive that he is hiding something from her. She has thought about asking several times, but each time she noticed Lu Ruojiang frowning secretly, looking distressed.
After thinking about it, he still didn't make it clear. He didn't want to say what he didn't want to say, and she didn't want to force him. Even if she did force him to speak, what he said might not necessarily be the truth.
Auntie Li Er walked into the teahouse and couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Lu Ruojiang bustling about under Qian Ningning's direction. "Impressive, the art of managing a husband," Auntie Li Er winked at Qian Ningning.
Qian Ningning first glanced at Lu Ruojiang, then whispered, "He let me off, but don't tell him that. I'm afraid he'll get cocky."
Auntie Li Er patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I understand."
"By the way, did you discuss it with him?"
Auntie Li Er is asking about the marriage of Qian Ningning and Lu Ruojiang. After all, they have been together for three years. If it weren't for Lu Ruojiang not regaining his memory, they might have had children by now. But how many three-year periods can a woman's prime years endure? Qian Ningning has been thinking for a long time about how to bring up the topic of marriage with Lu Ruojiang, but she just hasn't found the right time to do so. "Not yet," Qian Ningning said with some concern. "I understand that Ruojiang is looking out for my best interests and doesn't want to pressure me into being with him without understanding everything clearly, but... I don't want him to think that I don't trust him or that I'm forcing him."
Qian Ningning was just overthinking. If she mentioned it to Lu Ruojiang, he would be so happy, and she could finally get it off her chest. It's a pity that neither of them can read minds. While Qian Ningning was talking to Auntie Li Er, Lu Ruojiang was also called out by someone.
Because Lu Ruojiang couldn't keep pretending not to know Lu Yong and Lu Qi, so after recovering his memory, Lu Ruojiang found an opportunity for Qian Ningning to meet them, of course without revealing their identities or their relationship.
This time, the person who came was Lu Qi, compared to the straightforward and rough Liu Yong, Lu Qi as the leader of the guards had a more refined demeanor.
" Prince," Lu Qi bowed to Lu Ruojiang, "The officials and the sages know why you've been in Qiantang for three years. They want you to return to the capital quickly, or else the next visit might be an imperial decree."
Lu Ruojiang frowned, "Who's the gossip who reported to the officials and sage?"
Lu Qi smiled bitterly, "So many people are watching your every move! Besides, officials and sage are not just people who sit high in the temple."
Lu Ruojiang pressed his brow, "Alright, I know now. You can go back first."
"Then about your trip to the capital..."
"Tell them to get ready, we'll leave the day after tomorrow," Lu Ruojiang said reluctantly and helplessly. "Also, don't forget to leave some people behind to protect Ningning."
Although he was favored, if the officials and the queen took it seriously, he wouldn't have much to do. And it had been such a long time, it was time to inform his officials and the queen, who treated him and Ningning like their own children, about their situation.
"Yes."
