Guan Xin's wedding date is set for next March, in the season of spring warmth and blooming flowers.

There are still more than half a year until March.

On this day, Bai Tuantuan and the others were having a meal when Eunuch Cai arrived with an imperial edict.

"His Majesty's intention is to depart in three days, and to take care of all matters that need to be dealt with in these three days. I wonder how Old Master Bai's health is?"

Bai Han cupped his hands in greeting to Eunuch Cai and said slowly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better now and will be able to accompany Your Majesty on your incognito visit in three days."

Eunuch Cai nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Third Prince's faction is very active now, targeting the Bai and Chen families. I'm afraid they will go even further during this incognito visit. Old Master Bai must protect himself."

Upon hearing this, the Bai family realized that the Third Prince was probably planning something during his incognito visit, but the Emperor had already seen through him and hoped that the Third Prince would not court death.

Meanwhile, in the Cold Palace, the Empress looked at the smug Mu Yangrun with a face full of joy: "I knew my son was amazing!"

Mu Yangrun said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry. Once I have performed meritorious service again, I will definitely get Father to release you. Please wait for me a little longer. This time, Father is going on an incognito visit, and I will definitely show him my abilities!"

The Empress laughed: "The fact that you can stay by your father's side means that he already values ​​you. This trip will also allow you to make some useful connections."

"Run'er, don't worry, your maternal grandfather's family and your mother will help you."

“It won’t be easy for your elder brother to gain a foothold in the imperial court.”

Mu Yangrun laughed heartily, his face full of pride: "Don't worry, Mother, I've already made all the arrangements. Thanks to Yan'er, I was able to seize the initiative."

Mentioning Xiao Ruyan, the Empress frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "This time, while you are traveling incognito with your father, let Xiao Ruyan come to me. I can teach her some things."

Mu Yangrun nodded: "Yes, Mother."

After the mother and son talked for a while, Mu Yangrun left.

"What? I'm going to accompany Her Majesty the Empress?" Xiao Ruyan looked at Mu Yangrun in confusion, then lowered her eyes and said, "But Third Prince, if I'm outside the palace, I can help you win over talents. But if I enter the palace, I won't be able to do anything."

Mu Yangrun's smile disappeared, and after a moment of thought, he said, "What you say makes sense, but as for the Empress Dowager... how about this, you go visit her every three days."

Xiao Ruyan knew she couldn't avoid it, so she could only agree: "Yes."

After Mu Yangrun leaves, whether she goes or not is up to her.

When the Empress received Mu Yangrun's message, her brows furrowed deeply: "Coming every three days? I knew this woman was extraordinary! She actually managed to make Run'er change her mind!"

Seeing the Empress's face contorted with rage, the nanny hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Perhaps Xiao Ruyan really wants to recruit talent for the Third Prince. After all, we've all seen Xiao Ruyan's methods. If she's truly devoted to the Third Prince, we should go along with her for now. Once the Third Prince ascends to the throne, you'll be the Empress Dowager. Are you still afraid of not being able to deal with her?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress's mood immediately improved, and she said, "What the nanny said is true, but I still need to give her a good talking-to. Since she comes every three days, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

Three days will pass in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Prince Ping fell seriously ill and could not get out of bed. Mu Chengjin and Mu Chenglan were beheaded and their heads were displayed to the public.

During the internal strife in the Prince of Ping's territory, Mu Xiangyang contacted Mu Xiangxi, and with the Emperor's permission, Mu Xiangxi returned to the capital.

Crown Prince Mu Yangwei began to handle state affairs, but due to Mu Yangrun's involvement, progress was not smooth, which greatly displeased the emperor.

On this day, the Emperor traveled lightly, riding in a carriage.

Heading towards Jiangnan.

Inside the carriage, Bai Tuantuan was playing cards with Bai Han and Chen Luo. Seeing her purse almost empty, Bai Tuantuan yelled, "Grandfather and maternal grandfather, you've gone too far! You've teamed up to cheat me out of my money!"

"I'm going to tell my grandmother and maternal grandmother! You've bullied me!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing Bai Tuantuan's funny antics, the two old people burst into laughter. Taking advantage of their inattention, Bai Tuantuan quickly snatched the money bag in front of them, saying, "It's mine!"

"You little rascal! You're got a money-grubbing streak, huh?! Hahaha!"

"Oh dear, Tuantuan was quick enough! We worked so hard to win so much, and in the end, it all went to her. What a loss!"

"Hahaha!"

The laughter coming from over there made Ning Chengzhu scratch his head and say, "I told you we could just ride in one carriage, but no, I want to go to Tuantuan's place! Listen to their laughter, there must be something fun going on!"

Ning Nanxiao took a sip of water, glanced at Ning Chengzhu, and said indifferently, "The carriage isn't big. Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Chen will definitely need to rest. If there's only one carriage, how will they rest?"

Ning Chengzhu patted his head: "Look at my brain, you're so smart. Okay, I'll go first, and I'll come back if they get tired."

With that, Ning Chengzhu stopped the carriage and quickly ran towards the Bai family's carriage.

Ning Chengzhu's arrival made the carriage even more lively, and laughter even reached the Emperor's carriage.

Mu Yangzhi scratched the back of his head and looked at the Emperor, saying, "Father, I want to go too..."

"Second brother, where are you going?" Mu Yangrun opened his eyes and looked at Mu Yangzhi disapprovingly. "Father's safety is the most important thing right now. You can't go running around."

Mu Yangzhi glared at Mu Yangrun, annoyed, and said, "I know, I know!"

Seeing Mu Yangzhi's expression, the Emperor couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, I know you want to go to the Bai family's carriage, go ahead, go ahead."

"Thank you, Father!" Mu Yangzhi's eyes lit up, and he quickly got off the carriage.

Mu Yangrun curled his lip, his face full of disdain.

Such a good opportunity, and you actually tried to run into someone else's carriage, what a fool!

A short while later, Mu Yangzhi's laughter rang out.

The Emperor squinted at Mu Yangzhi and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Mu Yangzhi smiled and said, "Father, your son will stay with you."

The emperor said nothing more and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Eunuch Cai sat to one side, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was very quiet.

Two hours later, Mu Yangzhi returned: "Dad, you have no idea how many tricks Tuantuan has up her sleeve, hahaha! She played those card games so skillfully, Uncle Ning was really going too far! He won so much money just because he was strong! Luckily, Tuantuan was clever. When he wasn't looking, I teamed up with the other two and snatched Uncle Ning's money back. Uncle Ning is still angry! Dad, let me tell you..."

Seeing Mu Yangzhi's animated gestures, the Emperor was amused.

Meanwhile, Mu Yangrun, who was standing to the side, felt quite uncomfortable. He never expected that a fool would steal the spotlight from him!

"And Ning Nanxiao, Father, I've discovered a secret!"

Mu Yangzhi said mysteriously, "I suspect Nan Xiao likes Tuantuan, but I have no proof."

The Emperor laughed, raising an eyebrow: "Just realized that?"

Mu Yangzhi's eyes widened: "Dad, you already found out? Then you'd better keep a close watch, don't let Nan Xiao get it so easily! Hahahaha! I'm going to tease him properly! Who told him to bully me when we were kids! Hahahaha! I'm Tuantuan's older brother now! Hahahaha!"
