Yan Bao also wanted to work hard, but unfortunately the level of technology in this era was too low.

She couldn't make stainless steel or plastic in a short time, so she could only give up the idea for now. She could only use the ancient method of sealing and preserving it with a wooden lid, which should be fine.

Now that the problem is solved, Yan Bao can finally arrange other things.

Soon, it was Yanbao’s fifth birthday.

There are still a few months left before the Shen family is executed.

Now they have perfectly avoided this disaster. As long as they survive that day, their Shen family will be able to be reborn.

The Shen family didn't plan to make a big fuss on Yan Bao's birthday. It was just a child's birthday, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

Even so, Concubine Jing still had the Thirteenth Prince sent out to accompany Yan Bao to celebrate his birthday. They were all young, and when they got older, even if they were engaged, they couldn't be too intimate.

Yan Bao wants to go out and play on his birthday.

Second Brother Shen took Yan Bao and the Thirteenth Prince to the streets to shop, eat, and go boating on the lake. They also went to the theater with Pei Zijia and the others. Someone suggested going to the painted boat to watch singing and dancing, but Second Brother Shen kicked them away: "My sister is here, how dare you."

Yan Bao was furious: [What's wrong? Can't I see it? I've seen everything. Come on, I'll treat you!]

Second Brother Shen didn't dare take her to the pleasure boat. If their father knew about it, he would probably peel off a layer of skin from him.

When Yan Bao was having fun, she noticed someone staring at her. She squinted her eyes and looked over, and saw an old woman with a flattering smile waving at her.

The Thirteenth Prince noticed this and took her hand: "Don't go, we don't know her, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be fine. Just wait here for me." When Yan Bao saw the old woman, he knew who sent her.

It seems that the lesson he learned on the Lantern Festival has not yet taught the Third Prince a lesson.

Knowing that it was the Third Prince's man, Yan Bao was not panicked.

The Thirteenth Prince was firm in his attitude, and his face showed that he would not tolerate any refusal: "No, how about I go with you?"

Yan Bao sighed: "You will cause trouble for me if you go, are you sure you want to go?"

The Thirteenth Prince's delicate brows knitted slightly: "Really?"

Yan Bao nodded.

The Thirteenth Prince asked with certainty, "Are you really going to be okay?"

Yan Bao nodded.

The Thirteenth Prince seemed to have made up his mind: "Then come back early, I'll wait for you here."

"You're so good! You won't be my future husband!" Yan Bao smiled and touched his head.

The Thirteenth Prince's face flushed red, his eyes were bright and shy, and he didn't dare to look Yan Bao in the eye.

Yan Bao smiled and walked slowly towards the old woman with a puzzled expression.

The old woman didn't expect her to be so easily fooled. She smiled and said, "Miss, please come with me. I have prepared a birthday gift for you. You will definitely like it. If you go too late, it will be gone."

Yan Bao nodded and followed.

He was soon taken onto a black-sailed boat.

As soon as Yan Bao went up, he saw a man sitting inside. He was thin and pale. It was almost April, but he was still wearing a winter cloak trimmed with fox fur, revealing a haggard and weak face.

If not the third prince, who else could it be?

The Third Prince smiled at Yan Bao and said, "Little mute, are you surprised to see me?"

Yan Bao raised his eyebrows, knowing his purpose, and asked with his eyes: Is there something wrong?

The Third Prince understood: "This prince wants to confirm something with the little mute, you must cooperate."

Yan Bao frowned, looking embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. Once you're on this prince's boat, you can't escape." The third prince looked up and saw the little bamboo shoot rowing the boat approaching. "Do you know him?"

Yan Bao stared at Xiao Sunzi for a while and pretended not to recognize him.

The Third Prince laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, you will know me soon."

Without further ado, the Third Prince ordered, "Drown her."

Xiao Sunzi nodded and was about to take action.

Yan Bao wanted to retreat in fear, but when he got to the black-sailed boat in the center of the lake, there was nowhere else to go.

Unless you fall into the lake.

Fortunately, the weather was not very cold, so if I fell into the water I would just catch a cold.

The lake is just too deep and you can easily drown if you're not careful.

The Third Prince attacked Yan Bao in the center of the lake because he was afraid that she would run away.

"You can't run away. Last time you caused my master to suffer a great loss. This time..." Xiao Sunzi smiled wickedly, grabbed Yan Bao and pushed him into the water.

Yan Bao had already taken out the substitute talisman from the void. He had always used it to replace others before, but this time Yan Bao was going big.

Wrote about myself and the black-winged boat.

When she was pushed into the water, the talisman disappeared.

The black-sailed boat suddenly capsized, and before the Third Prince could react, people fell into the water.

Yan Bao also broke free from Xiao Sunzi's restraints and jumped into the water with a splash. She only heard the scream of the Third Prince. She swam and swam, not caring about anyone else, because she didn't want to be caught by the Third Prince.

After the third prince fell into the water, he was replaced by the fear of death. He struggled violently in the water and couldn't control himself as he sank and floated in the deep water.

Little Sunzi finally surfaced and looked for the third prince.

If anything happens to the Third Prince, he will die.

Just when they were struggling and thought they were dead, a small boat came from not far away and pulled Yan Bao, who was breaststroke in the water, ashore.

Yan Bao widened his eyes as he looked at the emperor on the deck, tears of grievance in his eyes. He pouted his little mouth, stretched out his hands towards the emperor, and cried silently. He felt so wronged and pitiful.

As if complaining, he pointed at the third prince who had nearly lost his life in the water.

The emperor gently wiped the tears and lake water from Yan Bao's face with a clean cloth: "Okay, okay, I get it. I will take care of it for you. Let the nanny change your clothes. Don't catch a cold!"
