Chapter 17 Find someone


Chapter 17 Find someone

The sound of "Ah Heng" made Qiu Heng feel dazed for a moment.

She and Brother Bai didn't just know each other when they were young.

She is a country girl who can read, and the person who enlightened her is Brother Bai. She also fell in love with reading, and those books were lent to her by Brother Bai.

From the time she first met in the mountains at the age of eleven, she met again in the capital. Four years seemed short, but it was a crucial period in her life.

This life also includes her rich and heavy ten years of experience in the coming summer.

Brother Bai is one of the people who is very important to her after losing her adoptive parents. Another important person is Fangzhou.

As for everyone in the Qiu family, whether they had a better or worse attitude towards her, there were not many traces in her heart for the time being.

But now Big Brother Bai is no longer the one who taught her how to read and write in the Taoist temple in the mountains, but Ling Yun, the crown prince of Kang County. And she is neither the carefree country girl A Heng nor the Qiuliu girl in the eyes of people in Beijing.

She is a knife and an arrow, and she will do her best to get rid of the demons that are harming Daxia. Since it is a matter of loyalty to someone who is entrusted by others, it is also done willingly.

And if Daxia did this at this time, she already knew what the outcome would be. She used to worry about hurting her adoptive parents or making them sad, but now these worries are gone.

"Prince Ling." Qiu Heng bowed his knees.

Ling Yun's eyes darkened: "Ah Heng, do you blame me for hiding my identity?"

"No, Prince Ling is a descendant of the clan, and he should not reveal his identity when he goes out." Qiu Heng was still close to Ling Yun in his heart, so he directly asked his doubts, "Prince Ling has such a good family background, why did he go to a place so far away from the capital? A place to rest?”

Ling Yun showed a helpless smile: "My health has not been good since I was born. It gradually got better as I grew up, but I suffered from a headache when I was fifteen years old. Maybe it was due to the climate. Going to the south for a short stay would alleviate the headache, so I finally chose Retreat in Suiyun County that made me feel comfortable.”

"When Prince Ling returned to Beijing, has his headache been cured?"

"Well, this disease came without warning, and it happened suddenly."

"That's good. Congratulations to Prince Ling." Qiu Heng was truly happy for Ling Yun.

Ling Yun wanted to say that he was still used to hearing girls call him "Brother Bai," but he understood that it was unrealistic with his current status. He was silent for a moment and said: "Ah Heng...has changed a lot."

"When a family encounters a change, people will change."

There was self-blame in Ling Yun's eyes: "I'm sorry, if I return to Beijing later -"

Qiu Heng shook his head: "Even if Prince Ling was here at the time, accidents would still happen. I am very happy to see Prince Ling again, but from now on Prince Ling should not call me Aheng, call me Qiu Liu."

Ling Yun remained silent for a longer time and said, "I will remember when outsiders are around."

"Then I'll go to the county lord's side." Qiu Heng bent his knees and walked forward.

Ling Yun stopped her and said sincerely: "Ah Heng, if you encounter difficulties in the future and need help, you must tell me."

After hearing this, Qiu Heng suddenly thought of someone.

Not long ago, she heard the same words from the imperial city envoy Xue Han.

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Heng said: "I have something I would like to ask Prince Ling for help with."

Ling Yun's eyes revealed a smile: "You say."

"If it's convenient for Prince Ling, could you help me find out if there is a Taoist priest named Changqing in the capital?"

When she met her husband, he had been a national teacher for a long time, and he should have risen to prominence at this time. Prince Ling lived in a Taoist temple in Suiyun County and was a Taoist believer, so he might have heard of his name.

"I wonder how old this Taoist is and how he looks?"

Qiu Heng thought for a while and was not sure: "Maybe he is seventy years old, of medium height and very thin."

She fell into a deep pool, emerged from Magpie Lake, and was almost killed by the imperial guards. It was the gentleman who understood her origins and introduced her to the king, and she lived in the palace ever since.

She asked her husband how old he was, and he said he was a hundred years old, so he should be around seventy now.

This was also the reason why she speculated that her husband would not be unknown at this time. It was said that you should become famous as early as possible. A husband in his seventies would not remain unknown.

In fact, it is too early for a seventy-year-old gentleman to become a national teacher.

"At this age, and knowing the Taoist number, it shouldn't be difficult to find it." "The Taoist number may be something else."

My husband experienced the city being broken and fleeing south, and most of the country fell, so it is possible that he changed his road name.

"That's okay. There aren't many Taoist priests in their seventies. Just ask around based on age and then confirm."

"Thank you, Prince Ling."

"When did Aheng know this Taoist priest?" Ling Yun hesitated for a while before asking.

He was not a very curious person, but he always felt that Ah Heng was alienated from him, and he couldn't help but judge whether his feeling was wrong through this question.

Qiu Heng curled his lips: "I knew him before I met Ling Shizi. At that time, the Taoist priest traveled to Suiyun County and taught me how to make incense pendants."

"Is it the butterfly Ah Heng is wearing?" Ling Yun's eyes fell happily on the accessories hanging from the girl's waist.

This joy was because he discovered that Ah Heng was still close to him.

"Well, this is the incense pendant." Qiu Heng took off the butterfly incense card and handed it to Ling Yun to see.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Exquisite but clumsy, elegant and popular alike, the fragrant pendant will soon become popular in the capital."

Ah Heng's reputation will spread accordingly.

Ling Yun watched Qiu Heng go away, his mood became complicated.

The maid led Qiu Heng back to the banquet place and quietly looked at the girl with a calm face.

The Crown Prince was talking to Miss Qiu Liu just now, and she moved aside, but she could clearly hear the Crown Prince's "Ah Heng" at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, the prince and Miss Qiuliu were old acquaintances.

Of course, she would not gossip in front of the princess. A servant who talks too much may gain temporary benefits, but the end result is often not good.

"Miss Qiuliu is back."

Someone shouted something in the lively atmosphere, and Qiu Heng was quickly surrounded.

On the way back from the banquet, looking at Qiu Heng's calm expression, Qiu Fu said bitterly: "Sixth sister is so beautiful today. Those who don't know better think you are the birthday girl."

Qiu Xuan's mouth twitched.

Not when she was in the Prince's Mansion, she would have said "my sixth sister" when she opened her mouth.

Qiu Heng didn't care about Qiu Fu's sour words, so he took out a piece of red bean cake from his purse and ate it.

She didn't eat a few bites of this birthday banquet and was still hungry.

"Is the sixth sister eating red bean cake?" Qiu Ying thought of the cake and swallowed subconsciously, knowingly asking.

Qiu Heng nodded: "Yes, Fangzhou made it."

"It's made by Fangzhou... Haha, it must be delicious..."

Qiu Heng nodded again: "It's indeed delicious."

There were only two pieces in my purse, not enough to share, so I had to eat them myself.

Qiu Ying didn't wait for Qiu Heng's kind words and looked away with difficulty.

The sweetness of the red bean cake penetrates right into one's nose.

Qiu Fu's face turned dark: The dead girl must be taking revenge!

In the next few days, invitations flew into Uncle Yongqing's house like snowflakes, all of them inviting Qiu Heng to be his guest.

And Qiu Heng found a different one among them.
