When Chen Xi heard Wei Fu's words, she burst into tears and felt more and more like a forced villain.

But at the same time, she was very happy that Wei Fu did not get angry with her because of this, and did not want to be friends with her anymore.

When everyone saw Shen Xi coming back with red eyes, no one asked, but Shen Nian had to ask symbolically: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xi said, "Just now, sand got into my eyes."

After eating, everyone continued on their journey. After getting on the carriage, Shen Nian asked Shen Xi: "Why were you crying just now? Did the princess suspect you?"

Chen Xi said, "The princess did think that my appearance here was too coincidental, so she asked us why we were here, why I was talking about the start of school just now, and why I was here again now."

"I told the princess that after I heard she was going south, I suddenly had this idea, and then I asked my family for permission. My sister was worried about me, so she accompanied me on the trip."

Shen Nian smiled with satisfaction: “Xier is very smart.”

"Don't worry, when you go to your grandparents' house, your sister will support you."

Shen Xi smiled and thanked him.

The two sisters seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact their hearts are full of their own calculations.

In Wei Fu's carriage, she sighed with a bitter face, "Ah, Xi'er is so miserable."

Wei Fu feels very lucky to have to be self-reliant at such a young age.

The prince ruffled Wei Fu's hair and said, "It's not too tragic for her to have met Fu'er."

Wei Fu thought about it and felt that this was the case. Then he puffed out his stomach and nodded proudly: "That's right."

"Xi'er said that her maternal grandparents' home is in Chucheng, below Jingzhou. Can I go and help Xi'er when the time comes?" Shen Xi's maternal grandparents' home is not a good place.

"If Fu'er wants to go, then of course it's okay."

Wei Fu happily hugged the prince's arm.

Wei Fu was bored on the road, so he talked to the prince for a while, and then the prince started reading. He originally wanted to teach Wei Fu to read, but Wei Fu was very resistant and didn't listen.

After Long Yin got on the carriage, he closed his eyes and started practicing.

Wei Fu played with the toys for a while, but felt bored, so he ran to find Chen Xi.

The two little girls flipped the red rope in the carriage for a while, but they felt it was no fun, so Shen Nian suggested, "Princess, why don't we play a game?"

"What game?"

"Play rock-paper-scissors and stick a piece of paper on your face. The loser sticks a piece of paper on his face and then tells everyone a joke." This game doesn't involve any physical contact or movement, making it perfect for playing on a carriage and easily bringing people closer together.

Chen Nian knew that traveling was boring, so he thought of many games.

"But this game isn't fun with too few people. It's more fun with more people."

Wei Fu immediately said, "Then I'll go call Brother Su and the others, as well as Big Brother and the others, and you all come to our carriage."

Among the three carriages, Wei Fu's carriage was the largest and could easily seat more than a dozen people.

When Wei Fu wanted to play, everyone was naturally willing to join in. Even Su Rui, who was in a bad mood, did not refuse when Wei Fu invited her.

She was not the kind of person who could live a peaceful life. It was boring for her to sit in the carriage properly. It would be good to have something to kill time.

Even if we have a quarrel, it is more interesting than just sitting there!

So everyone came to Wei Fu's carriage and formed a circle. Wei Fu sat between the prince and Long Yin, and Su Rui sat between the prince and Su Cheng. Su Rui was wary of Chen Nian as if he were a thief.

Shen Nian had never thought of sitting next to the prince, as that would seem too unreserved.

Especially since the journey is long and there are many opportunities, it won’t happen in a short time. She was anxious before because she didn’t have the chance to contact the prince. Now that she has more opportunities to contact the prince, she is not so anxious anymore.

Shen Nian was able to keep her composure, and Su Rui couldn't find any fault. For a while, everyone actually played the game seriously, and laughter could be heard from the carriage from time to time.

Wei Fu led them south, but a fast horse came from the northwest towards the palace.

The few cities before Wei Fu and his men headed south were all places they had passed by when they went to Yuncheng before, so after Wei Fu arrived at the places, he just ate, drank and slept, and didn't want to go out for a walk or anything.

Shen Nian couldn't call them out, and only when she was with the prince and the others did she try her best to show her gentleness and consideration.

On the fifth day of their journey south, they had to sleep outdoors. The two cities were too far apart. Although there was an inn in between, it was full. The prince originally wanted to ask someone to vacate a few rooms, but Wei Fu said that she had not lived outside for a long time and wanted to live outside.

Since she was going to live outside, the prince and Long Yin would naturally have to accompany her.

The prince asked Su Rui, Shen Nian and others to stay at the inn, and he sent someone to coordinate.

Shen Nian finally came across an opportunity to have more contact with the prince, so naturally he would not miss it.

Seeing that Chen Nian didn't think there was anything wrong with living in the wild, Su Rui would definitely not dislike it either.

So everyone set up camp not far from the post station.

Shen Nian and Su Rui both had outstanding looks, and they attracted many people's attention when they entered the post station.

The prince and his companions didn't know that after they left the post station, a table of men exchanged obscene glances that they could understand each other.

After the prince and his companions chose a place, the prince went to fetch water, Su Cheng went to collect firewood, and Long Yin went hunting. Wei Fu originally wanted to go hunting as well, but Chen Xi and the others were weak women, so she had to stay with them.

We can't leave the prince and Su Cheng behind. If we leave them behind, it will easily lead to gossip and it will be unsafe.

After Wei Fu stayed, he became very depressed.

Chen Xi said apologetically: "I'm sorry for causing trouble for the princess."

Wei Fu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. There will be another chance later."

Chu City is still some distance away from Sunset Mountain, and I heard that there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in Sunset Mountain.

After she returned to the capital, she ate snake meat but never ate rat meat.

The people in the dark saw that the prince and his men actually left two weak women and two children behind and left with peace of mind. They immediately went back and told their leader what they had seen.

One of them laughed and said, "Those people are obviously from wealthy families, and wealthy children just don't know anything."

"But we should also thank them for not knowing anything."

The boss licked his lips and said, "It's been a long time since I tasted the rich girl's wealth. Brothers, let's go..."

More than a dozen people, with green eyes, followed their leader in a mighty manner towards the place where Wei Fu and the others had set up camp.

Wei Fu, who was missing the taste of rat meat, looked at the dozen or so strong men surrounding them. With an innocent look on his face, he asked curiously, "What are you doing surrounding us?"
