Take a trip

after discussing together, they immediately returned to their respective homes to ask permission from their parents.When they arrived at the house Xiao Yan and his older cousin went to meet the mistress Wei. after searching for the mistress Wei was not at home, he was currently away and they did not know when he would return.

then they decided to wait for him in front, but he did not come back too, Rong Ji went to ask the housekeeper. the house maid said that the lady left because there was a sudden affair and she also did not know when Ms. Wei would return because when she came out she did not say anything.

they continued to wait for him and now the time had gone up late, but there was no sign of the return of Madam Wei.they finally chose to wait inside the house only, but there was no sign of the return, while conveying a message to the housemaid if they were waiting for him in the house.At that time Madam Wei finally returned, the maid conveyed a message to him, then she rushed there.

"what are you looking for me?" ask Lady Wei

"Hem mom like this, uh there's something we want to tell you, but I promise I won't be angry after hearing it yes" said Rong Ji

"let's just say, I won't scold you"

"well, ma'am, we've taken the test well and we've got good results, so can we go?" said Rong Ji

"where did he go?"

"this Bu in the southern city there was a seminar meeting Ma'am, so we invited the third prince to follow him there, did you allow it?" rong Ji

"you go with anyone but the prince? you know if the distance is far enough and it also takes 2 days to get there"

"we know, Mom, we don't need to go with some people other than the prince and the prince also brought his guards" Xiao Yan said

"if you want to leave, take her with you" pointing to her bodyguard

"mother why should we take her, she's your bodyguard and what about you if we take her away?"

"if you don't want to take him, don't expect to leave"

"mom don't be like that, we will comply with mother's request" Xiao Yan said

"fine from now on he will control your journey and you don't have to go out with mom, you still have other bodyguards so there's no need to worry"

"well mom thank you, then we'll take her" said Rong Ji

"when are you going to go?"

"we will leave tomorrow when dawn has not yet arrived" said Rong Ji

"why go so fast? the sky is not clear yet to go"

" mom calm down, we left quickly because we want to get there quickly, so we can enjoy the atmosphere of the beach, uh no, I mean to attend the seminar.he so it was Mom"

"yes if so, then have you prepared your needs during the trip there?"

"if that is the case, we have prepared everything just to wait for permission from the mother" said Xiao Yan

"good, then be careful and remember if the seminar is over soon come back here understand?"

"well we understand and we promise to return soon" said Rong Ji

after getting permission, they immediately returned to their room and they immediately went to bed so as not to wake up late. time passed so quickly now is their time to leave. they were ready and they just had to wait for the prince to come and pick them up.

before long the prince finally came as well, then he told them to immediately get into the carriage.At first Xiao Yan thought they still had to go pick Ling Mei up, but it turns out Ling Mei has been picked up first by the prince and now they are all complete and ready to travel.

while on the way Xiao Yan did not forget to introduce A'jue Wei's mistress's personal bodyguard to the prince and Ling Mei, he apologized to them as they suddenly added people on the way, he said, after knowing that the prince also received it with pleasure because with there are additional bodyguards the trip this time will run smoothly.

even though they had slept early, but because it was still dark of course they still felt like going back to sleep.then Xiao Yan and Ling Mei went back to sleep while Rong Ji, who was still sleeping, went back to sleep, Ye Jing and the prince simply sat down while looking at the surrounding scenery.

it did not feel half a day had passed, because it was getting dark they decided to look for lodging.The prince also told his guards to go look for lodging, and, but he was stopped by A'jue and A'jue also told them that they did not have to bother looking for lodging because Madam Wei had prepared it for them.

unexpectedly other than in the capital, it turns out that on the outskirts of the city there are also some inns or shops belonging to Madam Wei and they now do not have to bother looking for lodging anymore. what they needed was already prepared by Madam Wei. besides A'jue also informed them if Madam Wei also had lodging in the southern city close to the coastal area.

hearing that certainly made them feel happy, they did not expect that Madam Wei had prepared all that for them and they also did not expect that Madam Wei was a very rich person. even so, Madam Wei never once thought to show her wealth to others, she preferred to look simple.

then after they get lodging they also take a break.the next day they also return to the destination.all the way they spent by telling stories about them in their world, he said, they laughed and ate together in the train.not long after they finally arrived at their destination, then they were immediately taken away by A'jue to the inn that had been prepared by Madam Wei.

the location of the inn which is quite close to the beach makes them want to make a barbeque on the beach. but they now do not have the material to make barbeque and they finally choose to make barbeque with makeshift materials only. they also look for the ingredients besides that they also lure some fish to be roasted later.

after all the preparations were complete they started making barbeques and also eating together, they also seemed happy with their activities and they chatted together.

"hey see how happy you all are, we have not felt this kind of pleasure for a long time" said Rong

"yes you're right coupled with the barbeque event makes this atmosphere more festive, unfortunately there is no beer here" said Ye Jing

"whatever is not there, you're the one who didn't ask" said Rong Ji

"i know but what I mean is not wine, I want beer from where we can drink" Ye Jing said

"Hem well then, I drink wine only" Ye Jing said

...Xiao Yan unintentionally saw A'jue and the prince's bodyguard sitting on their side finally calling them ...

"eh why are you just sitting there, come join us" Xiao Yan told the guards

"sorry miss, it is not appropriate that we join you there, we are here enough" said A'jue

"don't say that, we consider you a friend so there's no need to hesitate to join us, after all we've all prepared this together so all of us should also enjoy it " said Xiao Yan

"yes it's true, you should not hesitate to join us, here there is no name of superiors and subordinates, here all the same and do not consider yourself too low it is not good" the prince

"yes well, thanks for the attention" said A'jue

finally, the guards joined them and they all started having fun together.now the day is getting late and the groceries have been used up, they have been used up, they eventually returned to the inn.

because Ye Jing and Rong Ji were drunk they were taken to the inn by A'jue and the prince's bodyguards. when he arrived at the inn Xiao Yan and the prince sat for a while near the special room while the others chose to return to his room, then Xiao Yan asked the prince what they would do tomorrow, the prince explained

"tomorrow we will do a search around this place, we will ask the surrounding residents about who the person who ever made the jade pendant was"

"well then, I hope tomorrow we'll find out who that person is, because the sooner the better"

"yes right, then hurry back to the room to rest because tomorrow we will start the search" said the prince

"yes well, then you also quickly rest and do not stay up late, remember to take care of health"

"yes, good night then"

"yes good night"

...After Xiao Yan left, the prince continued to speak to his bodyguards...

"how did you investigate whose spy that time was?"

"yes prince, that man is indeed a man of the second prince, then based on reports from our people who are in the city, said that now the second prince's man is also on the way to our place" said the guard

"yes then keep an eye on them and don't let them know our purpose. lest he find out about our purpose, then there will be a problem"

"well prince"

after finishing dealing with the spy case, the prince returned to rest.the morning was bright, they continued to search about the person who had made the jade pendant, and then they did, fortunately they were there carrying a jade pendant painting so that it would facilitate the search.

they split up the group and split up to look for him, a few hours had passed but they never found an answer, they were still trying to find who the maker was. finally Xiao Yan and the prince chose to rest for a while under a large tree, while resting they accidentally saw a grandmother who was having trouble lifting the wood.

they set out to help the grandmother.The prince immediately took all his wood and Xiao Yan helped to reach the grandmother.The grandmother also showed her the location of the house, and, it turned out that the distance from where the grandmother took the wood to her house was quite far and the prince was sweating because of her.

after a while they finally arrived at the grandmother's house, thanking them both and the grandmother also offered them to come in and rest in her house. at first they refused because they thought now was not the time to rest, they would have to immediately find the pendant maker.

even so, the grandmother still told them to sit for a while and when they intended to leave the grandmother, the prince accidentally dropped the jade pendant painting, seeing the painting the grandmother asked, saying,

"are you looking for information about the locket"

the prince replied "*right grandma, do you know about that?"

"you sit here, let me tell you the story of the jade pendant" said the grandmother

......The prince and Xiao Yan sat down and listened to the grandmother......

"there used to be lovers who deliberately went to this place to make a jade pendant like the painting, but they did not want to make a pendant with jade in the store, then they gave the jade they got to the maker"

"the makers were astonished to see the jade they brought to make the pendant, Because the jade shone when it was exposed to the sunlight.The soft jade light could make anyone who saw it, want to have it right away"

"the stone was offered by the maker at a high price, but the couple refused, he still did not want to sell it on and what they wanted at this time was only made a jade pendant. because of that rejection the maker can only obey the wishes of the couple"

"then asked what kind of shape the couple wanted, the couple replied if they wanted to make a pair of jade pendants, the beginning of the maker was difficult with the request of the lover, the couple, but the lovers offered the maker a bag of gold and they also told him to make it with any shape as long as the jade pendant could be a pair"

"the maker finally agreed, then he said to the couple to give him a month to complete the order, because the workmanship of the jade pendant must be careful not to be damaged quickly"

"the couple said they agreed with it and they would come back after a month, leaving the maker. without wasting any time the maker was directly working on the couple's order"

"during that work, the maker never again received an order to make jewelry, he turned down all offers and now he just wants to focus on doing the order that belongs to the couple"

"he worked so hard, every day he carved the jade pendant with great care, he did not want the jade pendant to be damaged or broken. eventually the time of delivery of the order arrived, but who would have thought it turned out after being waited for so long the couple did not come too, until the store was closed they had not come too"

"after three consecutive days of waiting but they never came too, finally the maker decided to deliver the order to the lovers*"
