Chapter 319: Returning to the Northern Border Together

"Subordinate, subordinate? Doesn't it sound awkward to talk like that?"

Yuan Siyin closed the box and handed it back to Ziyuan, asking her to hold it. "Please take it back and put it on the second shelf of the cabinet for me."

Zi Yuan was a pragmatic and action-oriented person. As soon as Yuan Siyin gave the order, she went out again without saying a word more.

"I think it's great."

After finishing the steamed bun, Yuan Siyin scooped up a mouthful of porridge, blew on it, and put it in her mouth: "What a weirdo. Be normal next time."

After eating his fill, Yuan Fuqing patted his belly and let out a satisfied burp. "Sister, I'm sleepy."

"If I get sleepy, I'll just go back to sleep for a while," Yuan Siyin said casually, after all, this was the norm.

"Once you're in the army, you can't just rest because you're tired."

Si Fangming put down his chopsticks, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "It's fine while we're still in the capital, but we can't be so carefree once we reach the northern border."

In the past, if the clever little devil had been reprimanded so harshly, he would have rushed over to complain, but not today.

He sat up straight immediately, and even though he had wanted to yawn, he didn't dare to. "I'm not sleeping!"

Yuan Siyin was ultimately protective of her own, and seeing this, she couldn't help but glance at Si Fangming: "There's plenty of time to talk slowly on the way. Don't bully him under my nose."

"How can this be called bullying?"

She glared at him, and Si Fangming immediately softened his tone: "Okay, okay, I won't bully you."

"Alright, go get some sleep," Yuan Siyin said softly, gently rubbing Yuan Fuqing's head.

Yuan Fuqing glanced cautiously at Si Fangming and asked timidly, "Is it alright?"

Look how scared you've made the child!

She waved her fist in the air to express her dissatisfaction, and Si Fangming could only clear his throat and say, "Fine."

Not long after Yuan Fuqing returned to his room, a series of cooing sounds came from outside the window. Si Fangming immediately got up, pushed open the wooden window, grabbed the carrier pigeon, untied the letter tube tied to its leg, and leaned against the window frame to look at it for a while.

"What news? From Father?"

"no."

After reading the note, Si Fangming waved it around and then placed it in front of her: "Read it yourself."

Yuan Siyin thought it was something important, but to her surprise, the first thing that caught her eye was the words "Princess of the Northern Frontier".

"Nalan Yujie?"

"It seems you've already met her."

"More than that, if they were any more arrogant, a fight would have broken out."

She shrugged indifferently and continued reading.

The princess from the northern frontier, along with a group of envoys...

"They moved next door to the Mu Prince's Mansion?!"

Yuan Siyin couldn't help but cry out, her knuckles unconsciously tightening their grip on the thin paper.

Don't envoys from other countries always stay at inns and post stations?

Si Fangming noticed the change in her emotions and felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on his face: "So this time, the people from the north may not be friendly. I heard they are secretly inquiring about where Yi Jin is hiding."

So what are you planning to do?

Looking for me?

Yuan Siyin clicked her tongue: "What do you want with me?"

"Of course it's revenge. You dug such a big pit for the northern frontier before, and now they've climbed out to settle accounts with you."

Si Fangming crossed his arms, finding it somewhat amusing, his tone ambiguous whether it was more of a joke or a serious one: "Why don't you come back to the Northern Border with us?"

Yuan Siyin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glared at him with some annoyance: "You think you can just go to the Northern Border like that?"
