He didn't say a word, just held out his palm upward.

Princess Qi Yang looked down at the tacit and skillful interaction between the two.

There was almost no extra eye contact between the two of them, but Jiang Qingqing just naturally stretched out her dirty little hand and placed it on the big palm.

Then, a man's deep voice was heard.

"Your Highness, have you gone to dig up the dirt in my yard?"

"I just want to see if there are any young bamboo shoots growing under the soil..." The child's voice was suddenly soft and tender, as if he was acting like a spoiled child.

Xiao Linting frowned and wiped the dirt off her fingertips skillfully. Hearing this, he said helplessly, "There should be no tender bamboo shoots in my yard. The housekeeper will pick them at a fixed point every day."

Jiang Qingqing opened her mouth and let out a small sound.

Princess Qi Yang watched the uncle and nephew's skillful and calm conversation, and her face felt embarrassed for a moment.

"If the princess also wants to go with them, I suggest you go to the carriage as soon as possible and sit in it." Xiao Linting put the dirty handkerchief aside and picked up the little girl skillfully.

During this smooth movement, he did not forget to turn around and give a "kind" reminder to Princess Qi Yang who was staring at him in a daze.

Xiao Linting walked out with a leisurely pace, holding the little baby in his arms.

Princess Qi Yang was a little confused when she heard this sentence. It was not until she followed Xiao Linting to the corridor at the side door of the palace that she understood the meaning.

"My lord, I'm so sorry, but this carriage seems to have no room for you."

A head popped out of the carriage, and Jiang Chen looked at Princess Qi Yang with no guilt at all and smiled.

Jiang Qingqing twisted half of her body in the emperor's uncle's arms and looked over, and saw a carriage that was neither too big nor too small.

She was wondering why there was no room left, and Jiang Chen was kind enough to lift the curtain to show them.

Although three people were sitting together in the carriage, a small table was forcibly placed in the carriage, which was supposed to be spacious. Although the table looked tidy and clean.

However, one or two pieces of rice paper were still sticking out of the small box that could not even hold any more space.

It is obvious that he would use this desk to review some documents while on the road.

[Wow, what kind of workaholic is this. ]

Xiao Linting raised the end of his eyebrows, with a rare smile in his eyes.

When Princess Qi Yang saw that there was not even a seat left in the carriage, she looked worried for a moment.

Jiang Qingqing looked at Princess Qi Yang as if she was watching a fun event, not worrying at all about where to sit.

"Nafu, please prepare another small carriage for this princess." Xiao Linting gave the order calmly.

After hearing the arrangement, the butler standing at the door nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qingqing put her arms around the emperor's uncle's neck, and looked at Princess Qi Yang who dared to be angry but not to speak, and she felt happy again.

Princess Qiyang took a deep breath, as if to brainwash herself and suppress the anger in her heart, then turned her head to look at Xiao Linting and asked, "Then how should the emperor's uncle and the princess sit?"

Xiao Linting said concisely and clearly: "There is a horse."

The implication was to tell her that one horse cannot seat three people.

Then, the horse was led over by the servants of the palace. Xiao Linting first put Jiang Qingqing on the horse's back, and the latter grasped the saddle skillfully, and then he felt a breeze by his ears.

When everyone came to their senses, Xiao Linting had already turned over and sat astride the horse, with his arms around the petite girl, pulling the reins and looking down at Princess Qi Yang condescendingly.

"Princess, please wait for a moment. The carriage may need to be ready soon. I will take the princes to Fanlou first. Someone will come back to pick you up soon."

After saying this indifferently, Xiao Linting pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, walked in front of the carriage and led the way towards the street.

Jiang Qingqing took a last look at Princess Qi Yang, who was on the verge of collapse. Although she felt a lot of gloating, she thought about it again in a flash.

Princess Qi Yang dared to approach the emperor's uncle so boldly, which showed that she was much tougher and more straightforward than other women.

In the capital city of Tianqi, riding horses on the streets was never allowed. Even on horses, one could only walk at a slow pace.

Xiao Linting was an important official in the court, both civil and military, so he naturally had to play a leading role. The uniform speed of his horse's ride was actually a few points slower than the normal speed of a carriage.

Just as the carriage carrying Crown Prince Jiang Chen and his companions was about to pass Jiang Qingqing, someone poked his head out of the window.

"Brother Huang! We'll be leaving first. See you in Fanlou later!"

Apart from the most naughty and unscrupulous person, who else would dare to say such words at this time?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qingqing heard the eldest prince's scolding voice faintly coming from the carriage.

"Achen! Stop sticking your head out!"

In just a moment of conversation, the seemingly plain carriage really moved away from Jiang Qingqing and Xiao Linting.

Jiang Qingqing blinked as she watched the carriage drive away.

"Girl, do you want to keep up with their pace?" The young man above his head asked in a low and mellow voice.

Jiang Qingqing shook her head. "It's still early, there's no need to rush. There's still plenty of time. Just walk slowly!"

[I haven't seen enough of Kyoto yet. I can't see the hustle and bustle of the two streets clearly when I'm sitting in a carriage. It's not fun.]

He listened to his inner voice and loosened the reins slightly. Gradually, the horse, which had been moving at a steady pace, suddenly slowed down to a leisurely stroll.

Jiang Qingqing didn't think there was anything unusual. She was concentrating on looking at the shops on both sides of the road.

Until, at the busiest intersection ahead, there was a store with very few things hanging on the shelves, but it was located in the place with the most people.

Such an abnormality made Jiang Qingqing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

There were two people standing at the door of the shop.

A man wearing a brocade robe with gold edges did not look like a disciple of a noble family, but rather like a nouveau riche who had made a fortune lately.

Standing in front of the nouveau riche was a waiter in simple clothes.

"Are you really out of stock of your green powder?! When we were negotiating the price, we agreed on a good price: one and a half kilograms of copper and you sold me ten kilograms. Now you've only supplied less than two kilograms, and now you're telling me you're out of stock?!"

The upstart exclaimed, his voice was a little loud and soon attracted a lot of people's attention.

In fact, Xiao Linting heard the argument between the two people from a long distance away. According to his previous habit, he just turned a blind eye and passed it by.

But for some unknown reason he looked down at the little girl in his arms and found that she was staring at the two of them with great interest. He couldn't help but pull the reins, and simply rode on the horse's back, stopping at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

The waiter, dressed simply, nodded confidently, and then said in a mocking tone: "You want to take away ten kilograms of my green powder at the price of one and a half coppers. I am only buying two kilograms for your sake, Fan Lou. Do you really think I will give you ten kilograms?!"
