The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
13. The Tradition of Going Home
The next day Lu Jing Yu simply stayed at the residence. He went to the kitchen during the day to teach the chef some recipes. Lu Jing Yu did not know what else was in this ancient time. After lunch he could not sleep and felt a little bored. Finally he asked Quan Yuan who was the guard that Pei Zhang Xi sent to follow wherever Lu Jing Yu went to ensure his safety. Quan Yuan also lined up Lu Jing Yu to the library in the middle to read the books there.
Looking at the ancient books and the numerous scrolls, Lu Jing Yu was overjoyed. Although most of the books there were books on war and politics, which were a little off Lu Jing Yu's liking but he still read them to dispel boredom. In this place there is no entertainment like in the original world. Moreover, Lu Jing Yu was not the picky type of person to read. He is always interested in new things. Lu Jing Yu was going to bring some books that she found interesting to read in her room.
Pei Zhang Xi also received a report regarding this matter. His eyebrows knit and his forehead shriveled when he heard Lu Jing Yu go to the library. But he said nothing but to let it go. After all Pei Zhang Xi still thought Lu Jing Yu was doing that for doing tricks to attract his attention.
The next morning Xiao Bei woke him up early in the morning. The little servant even pulled Lu Jing Yu's blanket impatiently after seeing Lu Jing Yu just squirming since earlier. Last night, Lu Jing Yu read a book on war strategy until night. Lu Jing Yu discovered many interesting things that he had never read. There are so many strategies of war in this world. Lu Jing Yu began to compare him to those in his world. The longer he was more interested even though there were some things that he did not understand.
"Your Majesty wake up. It's past." Xiao Bei shook the body of Lu Jing Yu who was still lying down lazily. He knew that his master had actually woken up from his blinking eyes adjusting the light.
"What's wrong? Why is it so early in the morning?" Lu Jing Yu finally pulled her body lazily. Staring at Xiao Bei with half-closed eyes.
"Your Majesty, today Your Majesty must return to the Prime Minister's residence." Xiao Bei replied enthusiastically.
"Why? Have I been divorced?" Lu Jing Yu replied involuntarily.
"What did His Majesty say? Your Majesty cannot say that. His Majesty and His Majesty King Rui are a couple made in Heaven. Can't say that bad thing." Xiao Bei resentfully scolded Lu Jing Yu. He really did not expect his employer would say bad things about his own marriage. He had been following Lu Jing since young and knew how Lu Jing Yu felt about Pei Zhang Xi. She also found out about the trick that Lu Jing Yu played to become Pei Zhang Xi's wife. The man she loved. So, after a hard struggle to get married where is it possible to quickly talk about her divorce? It really doesn't make any sense.
"Ooh... No, huh? I thought that man was so good that he divorced me so quickly."
"Your Majesty.." at this moment, Xiao Bei felt that Lu Jing Yu was saying divorce because it was triggered by Pei Zhang Xi's extremely cold attitude towards him. Also, because yesterday Pei Zhang Xi did not meet Lu Jing Yu though. Even as he escorted Lu Jing Yu to lighten the greetings in the morning, Pei Zhang Xi refused his arrival. So Xiao Bei thought that Lu Jing Yu was desperate at this point and could only say divorce.
"Then why do I have to go back there?" Lu Jing Yu was still not fully conscious.
"This is the third day. His Majesty must fulfill the custom to return home. Either His Majesty King Rui can accompany him or not, but His Majesty need not be sad. It must be because His Majesty King Rui is very busy at the moment."
"Yes yes I know. Why are you so chatty today?" Lu Jing Yu glanced at Xiao Bei in annoyance. He got out of bed lazily. Pulling a coat to cover her sleeping hanfu.
The servants were already good at putting on makeup and producing hair just like Lu Jing Yu wanted. Lu Jing Yu was also satisfied with the result. Makeup that is not excessive makes it look more beautiful. Although the hair ornament worn today was more because he had to give Pei Zhang Xi face so that no one would judge Pei Zhang Xi not to love him, Lu Jing Yu still looked beautiful and sweet.
Breakfast was prepared according to what Lu Jing Yu had taught the chefs at the residence. Even the side kitchens that served to cook for the servants and guards began to learn from the head chefs and main chefs of their cuisine.
"Nyam, this is called food. They learn fast." Praise Lu Jing Yu sincerely. Her lips lifted high as she felt the taste of the food that matched her tongue.
"The chefs here are the best choice chefs. Even the cooks in the palace were only slightly above them. Moreover, His Majesty's cooking is indeed basically very tasty." Aunt Wu praised from the side.
"That's good, Your Majesty. However, I beg you not to go into the kitchen often because it is not a proper thing." Wu Aunt Wu said carefully. He was afraid that Lu Jing Yu would be angry with him.
"It doesn't deserve what? No problem getting into the kitchen." Lu Jing Yu replied without thinking. He waved his hand lightly.
"All right, Your Majesty." Aunt Wu gave up.
Lu Jing Yu returned to enjoying the food quietly while thinking about the menu what else he would teach the chefs next.
"Oh yes Your Majesty, today His Majesty King Rui may not be able to drive His Majesty home. There are many jobs that cannot be left behind. Moreover, there is a new case that His Highness must handle in the Yunguang Bureau." Aunt Wu conveyed Pei Zhang Xi's message while taking care of Lu Jing Yu's expression. He was worried about his temperament, he would get angry and act inappropriate.
"Oohs.. Alright. It's okay." Unexpectedly, Lu Jing Yu simply nodded her head without saying anything else.
Lu Jing Yu already knew that Pei Zhang Xi had not accompanied her from the novel. According to Novel, Pei Zhang Xi did not intend to come home with him. And it made a lot of rumors that he was not liked and eventually became the subject of ridicule of many people and even in his own residence.
This made the original Lu Ling Yu very angry and asked Du Mei for help to help him teach the people who had been gossiping to him. Making his already bad name even worse.
Compared to Pei Zhang Xi's absence in the tradition of returning home, it was this matter that was more important to be noticed by Lu Jing Yu at this moment.
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. His Majesty King Rui is indeed very busy today. If His Majesty has finished with his work, His Majesty will definitely soon follow His Majesty to the prime minister's residence." Aunt Wu tried to comfort Lu Jing Yu in the carriage she had also misunderstood. Thought Lin Jing Yu was desperate and sad.
Lu Jing Yu raised her eyebrows upon hearing Aunt Wu's remark. But he had no intention of closing it. He just rolled his eyes lazily.
