After everyone had enough fun, it was time for lunch. Jiang Shanhe had already told the person who delivered the meals to bring a few extra portions when he delivered the meals, so everyone sat on the ground and had a picnic in the sea of ​​flowers.

"You said there was no transportation? How do you explain the carriage?"

Xiaoguo pointed at the receding carriage and asked Jiang Shanhe with a smile.

Jiang Shanhe explained without even raising an eyebrow, "There is indeed no carriage or sedan chair for entertainment at this time, but there are some on the island for them to communicate and send meals. Otherwise, if something urgent happens, they will be delayed walking back and forth."

"Oh, it's a public car, outsiders are not allowed to use it." Xiaoguo summarized, it was very appropriate.

"Exactly. My wife is awesome!"

Jiang Shanhe was merciless in praising himself, seemingly inspired by Xiaoguo's upbringing. So, he started to practice encouragement-style love towards Xiaoguo from some point on, praising her for no reason, such as saying "you are so beautiful today," "you are so cute today," "I love you so much," "you are so great..." and so on.

Xiaoguo could only answer him with a blushing face. To be honest, she was really moved by such a corny and childish compliment.

Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoyi looked at each other, their eyes almost bursting with confusion. Why did they become more and more bored after not seeing each other for a few days?

"Eh, eh, eh~" Li Shouji put down his bowl and chopsticks and shook his arms exaggeratedly, "I have goosebumps all over my body. Can you be so disgusting? If you don't eat, the rice will get cold. If you don't want to eat, just give it to me!"

As he said that, he picked up the chicken leg in Jiang Danhe's bowl and started to eat it. Jiang Danhe didn't say anything about it and said, "Just eat it. Who cares about you?"

Xiao Guo was not happy to see this. She glanced at Li Shouji, then looked at Jiang Shanhe and said softly, "I'll give you mine."

Jiang Shanhe's eyes softened and he smiled gently, "You eat it."

"I don't want to eat it, you eat it."

Xiaoguo took the chicken leg back and gave it to him.

"You eat it."

“You eat…”

"No, you eat..."

After going back and forth for several times, the other two children were all stunned.

"That's enough! Stop eating what you eat and I won't eat it. I'm going to spit out the chicken leg and give it back to you right now, ugh~"

As he said this, he pretended to choke his throat and successfully made Jiang Shanhe hit him. After that, he started to act like a spoiled child, pretending to be in pain while holding his arm and twisting it around, clamoring for him to be responsible, and saying something like he would never stop until he got two chicken legs.

Li Shouji's funny behavior successfully made several people laugh.

At night, Xiaoguo sat on the bed and Jiang Shanhe gently washed her feet. Her legs were swollen after walking all day. Jiang Shanhe felt so sorry for him.

"I'm fine." Xiaoguo was so happy seeing his distressed look that she almost flew away, but she still couldn't bear to let him worry too much.

"I'll massage you for a while to relieve your fatigue." Jiang Shanhe's hands were very powerful, and he massaged every acupoint precisely, making people feel very comfortable.

"What happened to you today?"

After Jiang Shanhe saw that the other party had relaxed, he tried to ask her about the sudden fright she had experienced on the way to the sea of ​​flowers, hoping to get some information.

Who would have thought that when Xiaoguo heard this, her body suddenly tensed up. Jiang Danhe clearly felt her momentary discomfort, which made him even more curious. What did she see that caused such a reaction? You know, Xiaoguo is not a timid person, so what could scare her?

Xiao Guo was silent for a long time, then looked at him nervously, "There is one thing I don't know whether I should say it. It may not be true, or I may be overthinking it, but..."

"Tell me what's going on first."

Jiang Shanhe listened to her while massaging the relaxing acupuncture points on the soles of her feet.

Xiao Guo took a deep breath and said, "This is what happened. Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Yi told me a story today..."

Xiaoguo told Jiang Shanhe everything she had heard and seen, and the more Jiang Shanhe listened, the more angry his eyes became. It was not until she finished that he regained his composure.

Smiling, he wiped her feet clean and put her on the bed before saying, "You saw it right. There was indeed someone there, the girl in the white dress. She was the doctor brought from the fishing village by the prime minister's wife. The doctor they brought previously had an old illness, so they had to find another doctor from the fishing village. She happened to be strolling around that day, so she appeared there."

"So that's how it is. I feel relieved now."

Xiaoguo patted her chest. She actually didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she couldn't help but believe in what was happening around her. Zombies, time travel, all kinds of signs made her think about the balance of species in the world. Now that she heard what he said, she could finally feel at ease. At least he was a human being.

"So you are afraid of...ghosts~"

Jiang Shanhe was naughty and deliberately moved closer to scare Xiaoguo.

But who is Xiaoguo? He even dares to fight zombies, so why would he be afraid of something that cannot be seen or touched? This stinky Jiang Shanhe dares to scare her. I'll teach him a lesson!

She suddenly threw Jiang Shanhe to the ground and pinched him hard to make him itchy. Last time she found the itchy spot, which was under the ribs. He struggled and blushed when touched. This time, she concentrated her firepower directly on his ribs.

Jiang Shanhe was caught off guard and was knocked down by her. The moment she touched his ribs, he understood what she was going to do.

He was unable to dodge for a moment, and finally had no other choice but to use a little force to restrain her. He had been holding back before because he was afraid of hurting her, but when he saw that something serious was about to happen, he stopped her. If he had continued to hold back a little longer, he didn't know what he would have done.

In just a moment, his face turned red with shame. He looked at her breathlessly with a smug look on his face. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and pinched her cheek. Then he excitedly walked out quickly with the basin in his hand.

After Jiang Shanhe came out, he put down the basin of water and sat down on the ground with frustration. He didn't have any itchy skin at all, so why was he struggling and blushing? It was because his ribs were his...sensitive spot.

This silly girl is still challenging his control. If he had been a step later, his "daughter plan" would have really been forced to be put on the agenda.

–

The travel plan could not keep up with the changes, and Jiang Shanhe was busy for the next few days. It was said that the emperor was going to hold a dinner, inviting all the ministers and their families to enjoy fine wine and delicious food and watch singing and dancing performances.

Xiao Guo had no choice but to take Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoyi out for the trip alone. She originally thought that there would be guards following her, but she didn't expect that the emperor trusted her so much and left the prince to her without any preparation.

Xiaoguo felt that there was no one in the open, could it be the same as last time, that there were secret guards?

So I would turn around after walking a few steps, or look up the trees or in the grass, but as expected, there was nothing there.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoyi had noticed that something was wrong with her a long time ago. What was she looking at when she kept stopping and walking?

"It's okay, let's go."

Xiaoguo put aside her thoughts and focused on playing with the two children. It didn't matter to her whether there were secret guards or not. She just had to do her best to protect them.

The three of them walked and stopped, staying only in the center of the residence, not daring to walk too far, mainly because they would miss their meals if they walked too far. Jiang Shanhe didn't know where they would go, and he certainly couldn't deliver meals to them. He could only consider going back on time to eat.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Xiaoguo always feels like someone is watching me, or following me.

At first she thought it was a secret guard, but she quickly dismissed the idea. How could a secret guard have such poor concealment ability? She could see the corner of clothes when she turned around inadvertently. Once she saw the hem of a lady's skirt with her peripheral vision. It was obviously not a secret guard.

Who could be the one who would go to so much trouble to track me?
