"Wow, this place is so beautiful! That pavilion is so beautiful, even its movements are like flowers!"

Xiao Xi'er ran straight through the flower bushes.

Chunhe and the others also ran over.

Because Qin Jingji always arrived on time and did his homework very well, the Grand Tutor did not punish him.

He only told Qin Jingji, "This is the last time," before letting Qin Jingji sit down.

Qin Jingji's seat was right by the window.

As if sensing something, he looked towards the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

——————

The mother and her two children boarded the carriage back to the general's mansion.

Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai sat in a corner of the carriage, afraid that their mother would be angry and give them a beating.

It must be said that the two of them were quite prescient.

Yang Jiaojiao became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

Where can you find this 'Wei Zi Mudan'? Even the Dou Lü Mudan is hard to find, let alone this 'Wei Zi Mudan'.

It's all Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai's fault. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have asked me for 'Wei Zi Mudan'.

Yang Jiaojiao tried to grab their ears, but her hands grasped only empty air.

Only then did I realize how far away the two of them had become.

"You don't even have this much trust in your mother? Are you afraid she'll beat you?"

"This makes Mother very sad."

Qin Jingmu remained silent, but the simple-minded Qin Jingtai, seeing his mother's sorrow, immediately spoke up.

"How could that be, Mother?"

He then sat down next to Yang Jiaojiao.

Yang Jiaojiao grabbed Qin Jingtai's ear with lightning speed.

Qin Jingtai's eyes widened in disbelief.

(Can you guess where the water droplet-shaped stones that Xiaoxi picked up ended up, and how they got there?)

[Also, it's getting hot, everyone should take precautions against the heat. Avoid going out during the midday sun.]
