In the afternoon, Xiang'an Palace was very lively.

In the late afternoon, Xiao Liyun brought Liu Si to Xiang'an Palace.

"Aunt Yun, what brings you here?"

When Qin Ruoxi saw Xiao Liyun arrive, she quickly pulled Xiao Liyun to sit down on a stool.

"Qiu Mei, quickly serve Aunt Yun some tea."

"Sit here and chat with Aunt Yun."

Xiao Liyun took Qin Ruoxi's hand and made her sit next to her.

"Aunt Yun??"

"I heard from Ke Ke that you're going to Ancheng?"

"Yes, Aunt Yun," Qin Ruoxi nodded.

"Can't we not go?"

Aunt Yun heard that there's a serious plague there recently, and floods are also happening from time to time.

Xiao Liyun held Qin Ruoxi's hand, her eyes filled with worry, "Are you really going?"

"Yes, Aunt Yun."

"The people of Ancheng and my older brother are all waiting."

"But there's your second brother, and if all else fails, there's Qin Jingke. How dangerous would it be for you to go?"

"With both floods and plague, Aunt Yun and your father are very worried about you."

Xiao Liyun held Qin Ruoxi's hand tightly, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading.

I want Qin Ruoxi not to go

"Aunt Yun, my second brother's focus isn't on that; he prefers business."

"And Qin Jingke."

Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Xiao Liyun lowered her eyelids and immediately dismissed Qin Jingke.

"Aunt Yun, Ke Ke will be going this time too."

Xiao Liyun lowered her head and remained silent.

"The Second Prince has arrived."

The eunuch at the door saw Qin Jingmu arrive and shouted loudly.

Qin Jingmu saw Xiao Liyun holding Qin Ruoxi's hand as soon as he entered.

"Greetings, Consort Li"

No need for formalities.

Xiao Liyun glanced at Qin Jingmu as she spoke, then turned her gaze back to Qin Ruoxi.

"Second brother, please sit down."

"good"

Hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Qin Jingmu also sat down on the stool.

Seeing that Xiao Liyun didn't speak, Qin Jingmu spoke to Qin Ruoxi instead.

"Little sister, have you packed your things?"

"That's about it."

Qin Jingmu nodded. "Okay, tell me if you run out of money, food, or medicine."

"Your second brother will prepare everything for you."

"Okay, then make sure to supply Second Brother with all the necessary provisions!"

Don't forget your little sister!

Qin Ruoxi said playfully to Qin Jingmu, not forgetting to wink.

"Little sister, your safety is the most important thing on this trip to Ancheng."

"Try to avoid going to flooded areas and avoid having too much contact with people infected with the plague."

Worry also appeared in Qin Jingmu's usually calm eyes.

"Second brother, don't worry. Who am I?"

"I'm Qin Ruoxi, nothing will happen to me."

Qin Jingmu reached out and patted Qin Ruoxi's head. "Then you must come back safe and sound, and without losing a single hair."

"Otherwise, my second brother wouldn't believe it."

Okay~

Qin Ruoxi smiled sweetly and agreed. Xiao Liyun, who was sitting next to Qin Ruoxi, also spoke up.

"Your second brother is right. As long as you come back safe and healthy, nothing else matters, understand?"

"knew"

Seeing Qin Jingmu and Xiao Liyun looking at her seriously, Qin Ruoxi also stopped smiling, nodded heavily, and said very solemnly.

Xiao Liyun and Qin Jingmu left one after the other in the evening.

Shortly after Qin Jingmu and Xiao Liyun left, Tang Shiya and Yang Jiaojiao also sent people to deliver various gifts to Qin Ruoxi.

In the evening, Qin Jue arrived at Xiang'an Palace.

Xiao Xi'er was overjoyed to see Qin Jue walk in, and quickly ran to him.

"Father, you're here."

"The food is ready!"

As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er pulled Qin Jue to a seat in the dining room and then had Qiu Mei bring up the food.

After dinner, Qin Jue told Qin Ruoxi many more things to pay attention to.

Qin Ruoxi carefully wrote everything down, and Qin Jue also had many things prepared for her.

There were several boxes of those face and neck masks that were given to Qin Ruoxi at noon.

Several more bodyguards were sent to Qin Ruoxi, and Yan Sheng was also sent to Ancheng with her.

By the time Qin Jue finished giving his instructions, it was already dark.

Just as Qin Ruoxi was getting ready for bed, she heard Qiu Mei knocking on the door.

"Come in"

"Princess!"

When Qin Ruoxi heard that it wasn't Qiu Mei's voice, but a very familiar one, she immediately looked up.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Qin Ruoxi ran over in delight.

He hugged the two people in front of him tightly.

"Sister Chunhe, Sister Xiaju, what brings you here?"

"What, does the princess no longer miss us?"

Xia Ju feigned a complaint and directly accused Qin Ruoxi.

How could that be?

"I miss you two the most!"

Chuntao got married three years ago.

He married Zhang Lu, who presided over the annual flower-throwing ceremony on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.

Speaking of which, it was four years ago when Qin Ruoxi took Chunhe and Qiumei to the June 6th gathering.

It was for this reason that Chunhe met Zhang Lu, and the two gradually fell in love with each other during their time together.

Qin Ruoxi was only ten years old at the time and didn't understand what it meant. It was Qin Jue who made the decision to marry Chun Tao to Zhang Lu.

The two got married three years ago, and their relationship has been very good ever since.

Even when Chunhe wanted a child, Zhang Lu wouldn't allow it. The reason was that Chunhe was almost thirty, and he was afraid of the dangers of childbirth for her.

When Chunhe told Xiaju the reason, Xiaju looked on with envy.
