"My uncle once said that you can only tell whether something is good or not by trying it. Uncle Xiao will only buy it if he thinks it looks good." The soft little mouth came close to King Jin's ear and spoke softly.
Prince Jin smiled and rubbed her head with his hand. "Ruanruan is really smart. Your uncle is right."
"Hehe." Ruanruan touched her little nose.
Prince Jin said to the guards beside him, "I'm sorry for not hosting you well. Go get those new clothes, boots, and toiletries for Prince Xiao and the young master."
Xiao Qinbei curled his lips and clenched his fists, feeling disdainful in his heart. He really let Prince Jin pretend to be so smart.
Until everything is placed on the table.
"Dad, look how thick these shoes are, let's change into them quickly." Xiao Shunan couldn't wait to put on the boots, but he saw Xiao Qinbei next to him coughing and glancing at him sideways.
"Uncle Xiao, you guys should try it. It's really comfortable and it's very soft." Ruanruan lifted her foot.
Everyone looked at the shoes on Ruanruan's legs. They were a pair of small white boots with fleece inside, which looked very warm.
"Dad, the little doctor said so, why don't you try it quickly."
Xiao Shunan put on his shoes before him and stepped on the ground.
"This sole is really thick. I don't have to worry about getting my feet wet when walking on the snow anymore." Xiao Shunan's joy was clearly visible on his face.
"I thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Qinbei stood up and bowed to Prince Jin, then said to Xiao Shunan beside him, "Why are you still standing there? Go and thank the prince."
Xiao Shunan came to his senses and quickly followed his father's example to bow.
"No need to be so polite." King Jin waved his hand.
"It's getting late. I have something important to attend to. I have to leave first. Have fun everyone."
"Ruanruan, do you want to go back with me?" King Jin looked at Ruanruan in his arms.
Xiao Qinbei also looked over.
"Godfather, are you going back to the palace?" Ruanruan asked.
"Um."
"Then Ruanruan should go back too. Ruanruan still has to practice boxing with little brother Gan today." Ruanruan said in a baby voice while holding her little fist.
"good……"
"Dad..." Xiao Shunan glanced at Xiao Qinbei and signaled him to speak quickly.
If you don’t say anything, the little doctor will leave.
Xiao Qinbei gritted his teeth and said, "I remember that I have some matters to discuss with the prince. Why don't I go to the palace with him?"
King Jin glanced at him, said nothing, waved his hand, stood up with Ruanruan in his arms, and walked out.
Xiao Qinbei stood up and glanced sideways at Xiao Shunan beside him.
"Shun'an, you stay in the barracks and watch them compete."
"Dad, I understand." Xiao Shunan nodded.

The hospital was very close to the old military camp, and the noisy sounds outside reached Prince Qing's courtyard.
After Prince Qing had acupuncture last time and took some medicine, he felt much better.
Unlike before, I had a fever every day.
"What's going on outside?" Prince Qing asked with a frown, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand.
"Your Highness, outside, the Xiao family army is having a boxing match with the soldiers from Qingzhou." Eunuch Liu said.
"I heard that the prince and Prince Xiao are here today."
Prince Qing raised his head and drank the medicine in the bowl, frowning at the bitter taste. Eunuch Liu brought over some tea, and Prince Qing quickly rinsed his mouth with the tea.
Prince Qing frowned, "While they are not paying attention to this place, go and call the spies that Prime Minister Su has planted in Qingzhou City."
"Yes, I will bring someone here right away."
Eunuch Liu put down the tray in his hand, turned around and walked out.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the gatekeeper, "You can't leave the hospital casually. You need to report to your superiors first."
Eunuch Liu frowned and was about to scold them, but after thinking for a moment, in order not to alert the enemy, he took out two small silver ingots from his sleeves and said, "I feel bored in the yard and want to go out for a walk. My Lords, please be flexible."
The two guards weighed the silver ingots in their hands and said, "Alright, then you must cover your mouth and nose well to avoid infecting others. We only allow people in but not out. Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise if we get caught..."
"Don't worry, sir. I will be back soon." Eunuch Liu nodded with a smile.
Eunuch Liu walked out of the hospital ward, his smiling eyes revealing ruthlessness. He walked around the arena and headed straight out of the military camp.
In front of the gate outside the military camp, a man was hiding by the wall, peeking inside from time to time. He was holding a crutch in his hand and moving with some difficulty.
Just as I was thinking about how to enter the military camp, I saw a person coming out.
The man was wearing a veil, was short in stature, and looked quite old.
Eunuch Liu took off his veil and put it inside his sleeve. He heard a melodious whistle and looked towards the source of the sound. In the corner of the wall, a man was sticking half of his head out.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come out quickly?"
The man suddenly raised his eyes and immediately limped over with his cane. "Sir, where are His Royal Highness Prince Qing's men?"
"I am a eunuch serving His Highness." Eunuch Liu said arrogantly.
Fang Mu leaned on his cane, bowed his head and saluted Eunuch Liu, saying happily, "I finally get to meet His Highness. My name is Fang Mu, and I've been waiting in Qingzhou for a long time. Please come with me, as there are so many people here that we'll be easily spotted."
"Are you the spy sent by the Prime Minister to Qingzhou?" Eunuch Liu followed him to the alley at the corner of the wall and asked vigilantly.
"Yes, the Prime Minister used the whistle as a secret signal. I believe His Highness told you, otherwise you would not have recognized me immediately after hearing that voice." Fang Mu responded as he walked.
Eunuch Liu raised his eyebrows with a hint of disgust in his eyes. How did Prime Minister Su find this person? This person has difficulty walking, how can he get information?
Fang Mu dragged his disabled leg and limped as he led Eunuch Liu around three long streets.
Eunuch Liu was so tired that he leaned against the wall, blisters forming on his feet. He said impatiently, "How long will it take? When will you tell me? I have to go back and report to His Highness immediately!"
"Don't worry, eunuch. We'll be there soon. It's really inconvenient with soldiers patrolling the streets here all the time. I'll ask you to walk a little further." Fang Mu leaned on his crutch and looked back at Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu looked at the limping man, who didn't feel tired at all, and his face turned slightly red. He curled his lips and said, "Hurry up!"
Now he finally understood why the Prime Minister had sent this person. This kind of perseverance was definitely not something that ordinary people could possess...
Fang Mu took Eunuch Liu around two more streets and finally stopped in front of a house. He took out the key, opened the door and went in.
"Eunuch Liu, please come in."
Eunuch Liu rolled his eyes at him, dragged his sore legs into the yard, and sat down on a bamboo bench in the yard.
Fang Mu walked over and poured him a cup of tea.
Eunuch Liu took the cup, tilted his head back and drank it all. He drank three cups of tea in a row before he came to his senses.
"Eunuch, I am the thirteenth spy sent to Qingzhou. Originally, the Prime Minister sent fifteen people here. Some of them starved to death, froze to death, or died of plague along the way. I am the only spy alive in Qingzhou." Fang Mu half-knelt on the ground, saying with red eyes.
