"There are always people better than you, and there's always a higher level to reach. If you're not willing to share a boat with people like us who aren't at your level, then you can wait for the next boat."

One person watches the play, another watches the people on the play, both are still embarrassed, both are looking at the scenery around them, one is recording the current situation of the people on the boat, Er Kang looks at the situation behind him and silently walks forward.

Bright and carefree me!

"How did you all get here?"

The boat owner looked at the group of people standing around him, his eyes filled with fear and panic.

"The bow is pointed, the canopy is round. Flying onto the boat is like ascending to heaven. The first three ounces will make the boss overjoyed, and the last three ounces will make the helmsman overjoyed."

Erkang didn't say anything, but gave the boat owner a standard smile. Then, looking at the two "top scholars in both civil and military affairs" who were already stunned, he made another couplet. After speaking, he threw a piece of silver to the boat owner.

"Boss, hurry up and bring the boat to shore so that our female relatives and master can board. We can also pick up those two top scholars while we're at it."

"Okay, okay, right away."

Who in the world doesn't love money? After confirming that the silver in his hand was genuine, the boat owner nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The group traveled by boat and on horseback, and leisurely made their way to the next stop.

Benjamin had already figured things out, so he wouldn't cause any more trouble with the others, but he also subconsciously kept a little distance from Xiao Yanzi.

"After you've had your meal, go out and have some fun. Wander around, look around, and buy anything you like."

The Emperor looked at Shen Nian and Xiao Yanzi, who were still by his side but whose eyes were already on the market. He shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with indulgence. He tapped the two girls on the head with his folding fan and said that he was to release them.

"Hehe~, today is another day when I love you even more."

Little Swallow looked up, took the old man's hand, and shook it. Her big, bright eyes were filled with admiration, which the emperor rarely appreciated.

"My lord is the best, I love you~"

Chen Nian couldn't resist raising her hands above her head, crouching slightly to make a heart shape with her hands. With her soft and delicate little face and a gentle smile, she charmed everyone around her.

Ertai looked at Chen Nian's adorable actions and couldn't help but curl his hands, which were hanging by his sides.

There are still many sides of this little princess that he hasn't seen.

Every day, she goes further and further down the path of hitting his heart.

However, noticing the gaze that seemed to fall on them, or more precisely, on the person in front of them, Ertai frowned slightly.

He turned around and looked back, but only saw a disappearing white figure. He didn't find anything wrong, so he frowned even more and moved to completely block Chen Nian's figure.

Erkang, observing his younger brother's actions, turned to look at the same spot Ertai had been looking at, but saw nothing there either.

Qing'er and Yongxuan looked at their beloved Jiaojiao (Youyou)'s actions with smiles, doting affection, and nostalgia in their eyes.

It's been a long time since I've seen Jiaojiao do something like this. The last time I saw her do this was when she was little.

This vibrant and lively Jiaojiao is exactly what they want to see; all the unhappy things should stay away from her.

Let them handle all the troubles and worries...

"Hahaha—, Nian Nian, who did you learn this move from? It's kind of cute."

The gesture of deep thought successfully amused the emperor, who chuckled and spoke with amusement in his eyes.

"Born that way."

Chen Nian raised her head with feigned arrogance; she couldn't very well tell them that she had learned it when she was bored in her past life.

Yongxuan, standing to the side, glanced at Ertai with a puzzled look as he noticed Ertai's furrowed brows.

Upon receiving Yongxuan's questioning gaze, Ertai shook his head, indicating that he would talk about it later.
