A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 221 Handsome Uncle

The young eunuch followed the old steward's instructions and went to the clothing shop to order a cloak. One for the boy and one for the girl. He told them to sew it as quickly as possible. It would be needed tomorrow.

The clothing shop agreed. The girls made pink cloaks, and the boys made blue cloaks, both with golden thread.

After the young eunuch had finished making the order, he returned and reported it to the old steward. The old steward rewarded him with five taels of silver. The young eunuch jumped for joy. If the old steward had any further requests, he could just ask.

Zhou Jingze finished his discussion with his father, and it was already noon. He walked quickly to the back hall and saw Qiqi lying on a small couch, covered with a thin quilt and resting.

He also sat beside Qiqi and looked at her. At this time, the old steward came over.

"Prince, the Emperor has called you to lunch. The food has already started being served."

"Okay, thank you, butler." Zhou Jingze said.

After the old steward left, Zhou Jingze woke Qiqi up. "Qiqi, did the emperor ask us to have lunch?"

Qiqi woke up, and a maid brought her some water. After she washed up, they went hand in hand to the study to have dinner with their father.

"Qiqi, what do you want to eat? Let Jingze serve you the food." said the old emperor.

"Okay, thank you, father." Qiqi said respectfully.

"Qiqi, Jingze, please stay for a few more days this time. Have dinner with me. I feel lonely eating alone." said the old emperor.

"Okay, father, if we don't leave, we will come to your place for meals every day. I hope you don't find us annoying." Qiqi said with a smile.

"Qiqi, you said to come every day. I'm waiting for you to come for dinner." The old emperor laughed after he said this.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze finished their meal with their father, and Zhou Jingze sent Qiqi back to the Jiang family. She hadn't given her parents the longevity pills yet. When they arrived at the Jiang family's door, Zhou Jingze watched Qiqi go in, then he returned to the Prince's Mansion to deal with the correspondence.

Qiqi came to look for her parents. Her mother was alone in her room. "Mom, I'm back. Isn't my father home?"

"Qiqi, you're back. Your father is on duty today. He went to the bookstore after you left. Your father has been busy for a long time. He's old and it's time for him to rest. But your father won't listen and insists on being on duty. No one can persuade him otherwise."

"Mother, father has been honest and serious all his life. If you let him have nothing to do, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. Just let him go." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, you are the only one who supports him."

"Mother, this is a longevity pill made for you and father. You can take one pill each and wait for father to come back and take it together. It can increase your lifespan and immunity. It will keep you from getting sick or get sick less often." Qiqi took out two pills and gave them to her mother.

Qiqi took out a few old ginseng and some Ganoderma lucidum and gave them to her mother, asking her to keep them to make wine for the couple to drink together.

Her mother refused to accept it and told her to keep it for alchemy. Qiqi repeatedly asked her to accept it. Finally, her mother accepted it.

She told Qiqi to take good care of herself and the two babies while she was out there, and to come back more often when she had time.

Qiqi felt her mother's pulse. It was so strong. She felt both wrists. It was even better than last time. With a pulse like this, she could live for decades. What's going on? She hasn't taken my pills yet.

The last time I was home, my mother's pulse was very weak. She'd be lucky if she could live for ten years. That's why I made a longevity pill for them.

"Mother, when father comes back, don't let him take the medicine yet. I'll feel his pulse first and then let him take the medicine. Mother, please rest first. I'll go back to my room. When father comes back, please ask the servants to call me." Qiqi said and went back to her room.

Qiqi returned to her room and suddenly remembered. Was it the warm jade gifted by the Emperor? Warm jade doesn't have such a good effect. Did the Emperor extend her parents' lifespan? When her father comes back and feels his pulse, she'll know. Mother's pulse has increased by at least twenty or thirty years. If that's true, how can I repay the Emperor's kindness?

Qiqi couldn't calm down for a long time. At this time, a servant came to call her.

"Miss, the master is back. Madam wants you to come over."

"Okay, got it, thank you." Qiqi said and got up and went to her parents' room.

Qiqi's father had just returned. He had just changed out of his duty clothes in the room and was waiting for Qiqi.

"Father, you're back. Let me feel your pulse to see if you've absorbed all the longevity pills you took last time." Qiqi lied with good intentions. Father's pulse was strong. He could live another thirty or forty years.

"Father, you've absorbed all the pills you took last time. I gave the longevity pill to Mother, one for each of you. Take them before dinner. I'm going back to rest. Call me when it's time for dinner."

"Okay, Qiqi, go and rest first and don't tire yourself out." Jiang Shuoan said.

Qiqi walked and thought, "That's right. Regarding my parents, the Emperor has given them an extra thirty years of life. How can I repay such a kindness? I have to tell Brother Xie Lei about this and ask him to be nice to the Emperor."

I'm going to rest first. I can tell my brother when I leave. Let him reunite with his wife and nephew. He hasn't been home for so long. My nephew must miss his father.

Oh right. Last time, I wanted to bring my whole family to Lingxiao Sect! When we're having dinner, I'll ask my family and parents if they agree.

Qiqi fell asleep quickly after lying on the bed. She dreamed of her and Zhou Jingze's past lives. When they were very young, they often went out together. One day, they encountered a pack of demon wolves, and the two of them fought desperately against the wolves.

Just when they were exhausted, a handsome man in white appeared. He quickly scattered the wolves, killing many of them. The others were frightened and ran away after recovering from the shock.

In her previous life, she and Zhou Jingze, in her previous life, thanked the handsome uncle for saving their lives. Afraid that the demon wolves would return, he cast a spell, snatched them both and vanished from the spot. He quickly returned to the outskirts of the city where they lived and set them down. Then he vanished. It felt as unreal as a dream.

Qiqi looked at the disappearing uncle, and she saw those deep eyes, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

Qiqi woke up suddenly. "Qiqi, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare again?" Zhou Jingze walked over quickly.

"Brother Jingze, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while. I'm here. I won't leave. I'll sleep with you. Did you have a nightmare?" Zhou Jingze asked.

"Brother Jingze, I dreamed about our past life. They were traveling and encountered a pack of wolves from the demon tribe. When they were in danger, a handsome uncle saved them and took them out of the city. Then he disappeared.

"I saw his eyes. I seemed to have seen them somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where." Qiqi raised her head as she spoke. Who was this handsome uncle?
