Madam Shen and Concubine Jing were drinking tea and talking.

Yan Bao and the Thirteenth Prince were playing together. Yan Bao brought a lot of small toys from Jingzhou City. The two of them played together, while the wet nurse and maids stood not far away and watched to prevent them from getting into any accidents.

So much so that Yan Bao had to speak in a low voice.

The Thirteenth Prince asked her, "Are the pirates in Jingzhou vicious?"

Yan Bao nodded: "Not only is he brutal, but I also encountered a pervert who actually tortured and killed little girls my age and ground their skulls into beads to wear on his body."

The Thirteenth Prince's eyes widened in fear: "Is this true?"

Yan Bao nodded: "My skull was almost ground into beads."

The frightened Thirteenth Prince touched her little head and said, "Don't run around anymore. There are bad people outside."

Yan Bao retorted softly: "Not all of them are bad people. I also met a kind-hearted little brother. He didn't know my identity, and I didn't know his identity either. I thought he was a little sister!"

"Little brother?" The Thirteenth Prince frowned: "Yan Bao likes him?"

"I like it!" Yan Bao nodded with a smile. Ah Huai is a good person, but also pitiful. He doesn't even know who his father is.

The Thirteenth Prince's face darkened, and he stared at Yan Bao with a fierce look in his eyes: "I will not cancel the engagement."

Yan Bao: “?”

"You are still young and don't know what love is. Yanbao, just wait, I will grow up too. When I grow up, I will accompany you out to explore the world." The Thirteenth Prince vowed.

Yan Bao understood immediately, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking about? Even if I want to cancel the engagement, it's not now."

The Thirteenth Prince's face fell: "Yan Bao, don't you like me anymore? I will become better in the future. You don't have to abandon me."

Yan Bao was speechless: "I didn't abandon you, I just like you as a normal friend."

"What about me?" The Thirteenth Prince's eyes were full of expectation and a bit of pity.

Yan Bao laughed: "You are different. We are engaged. I know I will marry you when I grow up. Don't worry, I won't cheat on you."

"I don't like green hats. I like black hats and red hats." The Thirteenth Prince expressed his opinion.

Yan Bao was amused by him. He probably didn't even know what a green hat was. "Okay, as long as you like it."

The Thirteenth Prince grinned with satisfaction, and his smile would brighten with a little sunshine.

At lunch time, the emperor came to Concubine Jing's palace and prepared a lot of delicious food.

After Yan Bao saluted the emperor, he couldn't wait to look at his feet.

The emperor smiled sheepishly: "I like the gift Yanbao gave me very much. Yanbao is thoughtful and still remembers me after going out."

Yan Bao nodded with a smile.

The emperor patted her head and said, "You've grown quite a bit taller. I heard Yan Bao made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time. What reward do you want?"

Yan Bao shook his head: [Will you give me what I want?]

【I want the stars in the sky! 】

Mrs. Shen's mouth twitched in anxiety. Fortunately, the emperor could not hear her thoughts, otherwise the Shen family would have died in an unknown way.

My dear, this is the emperor, not a turtle in a wishing well, so please don’t make wishes casually!

The emperor looked at Yan Bao, whose cute little face and bright eyes, and for some reason, he wanted to be nice to her. He thought of something and said, "How about Yan Bao also go on this trip to the grassland?"

Yan Bao's eyes widened in surprise: "Oh, the Emperor is so kind, he even gives me a pillow when I'm sleepy. Even if I'm not allowed to go on this grassland tour, I'm still going!"

The emperor asked with a smile, "Want to go?"

Yan Bao nodded, looking at the emperor with starry eyes, with words written on his face: Take me there, take me there, you must take me there.

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Yan Bao happily stretched out her hand to the emperor. The emperor understood what she meant and picked her up. Yan Bao smiled and kissed the emperor on the cheek. The emperor's face was filled with joy: "Yan Bao is so good."

Yan Bao raised his eyebrows proudly: [Yes, she is the best! ]

When the Thirteenth Prince heard that Yan Bao was leaving, he became anxious and imitated Yan Bao, asking for a hug and a kiss from the Emperor as well: "Father, I want to be hugged too."

"Why are you, a man, wearing this?" The emperor said with disgust: "No."

Thirteenth Prince: “…”

Who is the biological child?

When Yan Bao and Mrs. Shen left, they took away a lot of rewards.

The emperor also said to Concubine Jing, "Concubine Jing has not left the palace for a long time. This time, please come with me and bring the Thirteenth Prince with you. I remember that you were a good rider in the past. You can go to the grassland to ride horses."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Concubine Jing never thought that she would be able to leave the palace one day.

Concubine Jing knew that if she had not raised the Thirteenth Prince, it would never be her turn to leave the palace.

The Thirteenth Prince knew that he was going to leave the palace for the grassland, so he asked someone to teach him how to ride a horse the next day. Unfortunately, he was still young and did not have a pony of his own, so he could only sit on the back of an old horse and stroll around the stables.

The trip to the grassland was quickly confirmed.

It was a grand event held once every three years, and many people wanted to witness it. In order to accompany the emperor, the masters in the palace tried their best to curry favor with him and please him.

When the final number of names was announced, many concubines cried in anger.

Most of the people accompanying the emperor this time were princes, such as Concubine Jing, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Rui. They brought the eleventh prince and the seventh prince respectively. They were all older than the thirteenth prince. The seventh prince was fifteen years old and was already a young man.

Shen Shoufu must go out with the emperor.

Mrs. Shen is also going this time.

Yan Bao has gone, so how can she, as his mother, not follow him?

It takes two days to travel from the capital to the grasslands where the tour is taking place.

The chosen location is right on the border of Dajin and Damon, a vast oasis grassland and desert land. It is the junction point where the event is held every time. It is especially prosperous every year.
