Chapter 825: Chapter 825

Yu Yuanyuan was worried that her idol might temporarily set aside her acting career while busy with the special consultant work, but Jiang Lingxi assured her and the fanbase with her actions: I can manage both!

If she comes across a script she likes, whether a movie or a TV series, she will still take part.

Even having one or two projects a year is already good, quality over quantity!

However, if there's nothing she likes, she won't force herself to take on anything, it's okay to take a break, not like there's no other work to do.

"Our Historical Treasures" is using a method where each episode is aired once completed, and the feedback from the episodes already produced has been quite positive. Some middle schools have even chosen to air them during evening study sessions, showing high audience acceptance.

Plenty of student parents are also urging updates online.

Jiang Lingxi has traveled almost all over Hua State with the "Treasure" project team in recent years. She has become increasingly adept at her consultant work but hasn't missed out on enjoying local customs, food, and scenery.

Her work is fulfilling, she isn't lacking time or money for leisure, and with a partner by her side, it's definitely a life many would envy.

But there's one unavoidable point.

Shen Yunqing, holding two glasses of locally made fruit juice, walked to the bamboo house balcony and saw his partner, who had just put down the phone, still showing a hint of helplessness. Instantly understanding, he handed over the juice and softly asked, "Was it mother-in-law who called?"

"Hmm, she subtly asked when we plan to have kids." Jiang Lingxi sipped her juice and casually looked Shen Yunqing up and down, "This time she changed her approach, saying you're already past thirty, and I'm at the prime age for childbirth, so now is the perfect time to have kids."

Shen Yunqing took a sip of juice too, lightly furrowing his brows at the sourness, "What about Xiaoxu?"

Jiang Lingxi sensed he was trying to divert the topic, and clicked her tongue lightly, "Still devoted as ever."

Even Jiang Lingxi didn't expect this kid to be so persistent.

It's been six or seven years since she first met Xu Ling'an outside the Juvenile Detention Center.

In his eyes and his heart, it's still the same person!

And Xu Ling'an is wholeheartedly engrossed in her research. Not to mention responding to Jiang Lingxu's feelings, he hasn't even noticed the admiring gazes from others in the same research institute.

"This kid has a long road ahead!"

The two of them faced the vast bamboo sea in front of the bamboo house balcony, chatting idly while leisurely finishing their glasses of juice.

"Didn't expect the juice made from this fruit to be quite tasty."

"It would be even better with a bit of honey or sugar."

"You think it's not sweet enough? I think it's fine!"

Shen Yunqing raised an eyebrow, taking the empty glass, "Want another?"

Jiang Lingxi smacked her lips, "Forget it, I heard the bamboo tube rice here is also a specialty, better save some room for that."

The whole morning, the two worked on the balcony, listening to the sound of the wind through the bamboo grove.

Until they heard Yang Shuliu's voice from downstairs, "Sister Jiang, brother-in-law, come eat at the local's place!"

Jiang Lingxi responded, putting down her pen and getting up to change clothes in the room.

Shen Yunqing stayed behind to tidy up the slightly cluttered table.

After getting ready, they walked downstairs hand in hand.

Yang Shuliu was waiting downstairs, and the sound from the stairs made her instinctively look up.

The image of the couple descending the stairs together settled in her retina.

Even though she's seen this scene many times before, no matter how many times she witnesses it, she never gets tired of it!

During the upheaval before the college entrance exams, she even vowed to stay single forever, determined not to give love, marry, or bear children.

But after watching sister Jiang and her husband interact for a long time, she had to admit her vow was wavering!

If she could find a soulmate, someone she felt connected to down to the soul, spending a lifetime together would be worthwhile.

Yang Shuliu snapped out of her daze quickly, "Sister Jiang, I think this place is beautiful!"

"Indeed," Jiang Lingxi agreed with a nod, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been chosen as the hideaway for that famed scholar in history."

And they're here this time to follow the historical trail of this ancient scholar and record the documentary.

But once they're done, Jiang Lingxi plans to stay a bit longer.

One reason is to avoid going back to the Imperial City and being urged by Madam Jiang, and the other is this place is truly enjoyable!

Anyway, having filmed a project this year, and with nothing urgent at the moment, she can stay as long as she likes before heading back!

After enjoying a hearty meal at the local folks' house, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing returned to the bamboo house assigned to them.

Shen Yunqing carried some homemade food from the family where they dined, seeing his partner liked it, he found it convenient to make so he bought some.

They can cook at the bamboo house, so it'll be easily accessible when they feel like eating.

After he settled the items inside the house and came out, he saw Jiang Lingxi already asleep on the bamboo lounge chair on the balcony.

He promptly went back inside to fetch a blanket to cover her up with.

Only then did he pick up the phone that had been ringing for nearly half a minute.

He whispered quietly, "Project finished?"

"Sort of, why's your voice so low?"

"Her Majesty is asleep."

Wu Jue: "Okay then, where are you now? I need to see you for something."

Shen Yunqing took the phone back inside, raising the volume a bit, "I'm not in the Imperial City now, I'm in the mountains in Nanzhou."

"Why'd you go so far?"

"For work. Can't talk over the phone?"

"Actually, no. Never mind, I'll wait for you to come back. How long will you be there?"

"Around half a month. How's the Tai Sui project, is it helping Mr. Xu recover?"

"It's been somewhat helpful, his natural lifespan termination should be fine."

"I'll wait for you in the Imperial City."

When Jiang Lingxi woke from her nap, it had been more than an hour.

"I slept for over an hour again?" Jiang Lingxi frowned at the time.

She usually wakes from naps in about half an hour.

Recently, her nap times have almost doubled.

"It must be because it's quieter here."

"By the way, while you were sleeping, Wu Jue called me."

Jiang Lingxi's eyes lit up, "The Tai Sui project he's working on is finally over?"

"Did you ask him about Mr. Xu…"

Since Wu Jue is in the Imperial City waiting for them, and has something to discuss in person, Jiang Lingxi decided to abandon her plan to stay here longer after work ends.

Once the project team finished its work, the two returned home along with the team.

The day after returning to Xiyuan, Jiang Lingxi finally saw Wu Jue after years.

Smiling, she raised her hand in greeting, "Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Your Majesty." Wu Jue had originally prepared a surprise for their meeting, but upon seeing Jiang Lingxi, he changed his tone, "Your Majesty, may I feel your pulse?"

"Hmm?" Though puzzled, Jiang Lingxi extended her hand, "Didn't you tell Yunqing on the phone that there's something you need to say face-to-face? What is it?"

Wu Jue felt the pulse with his fingertips, then looked up after hearing those words. First, he glanced at Shen Yunqing, who was walking over with a cup of juice, then looked at Jiang Lingxi sitting leisurely before him, a lazy look in her eyes, a smile emerging on his face, "No need to say anything, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Lingxi slowly withdrew her hand, glanced first at Shen Yunqing who seemed frozen, then lowered her gaze to her still-flat belly, "Hmm, it's quite nice!"
