Ji Xingzhi asked, "How are things going inside the sect?"

"Everything in the sect has been moved to a safe place, and all the disciples have been assigned to the army that will escort you to Shuizhou tomorrow. Xiaotong has taken a few people to the southwest, and Su Cheng is taking care of Wu Fang..." Zhou Zheng spoke in detail, and by the time he finished, they had already arrived at Shaohua Palace.

Rumei, who had recovered with full health, stood at the door of the bedroom. Seeing Ji Xingzhi coming back, she went to greet him from afar.

"Greetings to the Emperor." Rumei clasped her hands together and placed them on her abdomen, bowing and saying so.

Ji Xingzhi extended his hand to help Rumei stand up, looked down at her and said, "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

Rumei lowered her head slightly and said, "Rumei can't sit still."

Ji Xingzhi glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Send Rumei back to her room."

Although Zhou Zheng was unhappy in his heart, he did not show it. He just said "yes" to Ji Xingzhi, and then made a gesture of invitation to Rumei and said, "Miss Rumei, please."

Rumei didn't immediately pay attention to Zhou Zheng, but said to Ji Xingzhi: "Master Chen, the young master, just sent a girl here. She is now waiting for the emperor in the palace."

After saying this, Rumei bowed to Ji Xingzhi and said, "Rumei will take her leave."

Then he bowed to Zhou Zheng and said, "You can go back by yourself when the plum blossoms begin. There is no need to trouble Lord Zhou to see you off."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Zheng to reply, Rumei turned and left. Her expression and mood seemed a little strange, as if... she was jealous.

Ji Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and pushed the door open without thinking and walked into the bedroom.

Zhou Zheng wisely closed the door and stood at the entrance, ignoring what was happening inside the hall.

There was indeed someone waiting in the hall. She was wearing a pink floor-length dress, her hair was tied up in a double bun, with flowers inserted on both sides. Her tender cheeks were rosy, her eyes were bright and lively, her lips were red and her teeth were white, which reminded Ji Xingzhi of Luo Bai.

Of course, the girl Luo Bai is much cuter.

"Well, she does look a bit like a princess." Ji Xingzhi nodded thoughtfully.

The little girl's face sank: "I was originally a princess!"

Ji Xingzhi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Okay, let's take it as it is."

The little girl's face darkened again when she heard Ji Xingzhi's casual tone, but before she could refute, Ji Xingzhi asked, "Your name is Yuxu, right?"

The little girl nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then I'll call you Xiaoxu." Ji Xingzhi said.

Yuxu corrected unhappily, "Yuxu."

Ji Xingzhi crossed his arms and touched his chin, then said thoughtfully, "Xiaoyu?"

Yuxu's face darkened: "It's Yuxu!!"

Ji Xingzhi tilted her head slightly and asked in a questioning tone, "Xiao Yuxu?"

Yuxu glared at Ji Xingzhi with a dark face. After a while, she compromised and said, "Forget it... whatever you want."

Ji Xingzhi suddenly laughed. It was inexplicably joyful to bully children.

Looking at Ji Xingzhi with a smile on his face, Yuxu glared at Ji Xingzhi and thought to himself: Bad guy!

Xu Yu and Ji Xingzhi stopped smiling, straightened their faces and said, "Before I send you to Yuzhou, you have to go to Shuizhou with me."

Yuxu was slightly stunned: "Why?"

"There will be a holy ceremony in Shuizhou in half a month. The monarchs of the five states will be present, and the emperor of Yuzhou will naturally be there too." Ji Xingzhi said lightly.

Hearing this, Yuxu couldn't help but smile: "Really?"

Ji Xingzhi smiled and said, "Why would I lie to you?"

"Then who are you? You live in such a good place and have more power than Chen Bai..." Yu Xu pondered.

Ji Xingzhi smiled calmly: "You will know tomorrow."
