Before Xue Qianyu brought the people back, Gu Xin took Helian Yi and the Yan siblings to tour the royal city and explore the few remaining territories of their Liusha Kingdom.
Yan Qin kept talking as she looked at the strange crops in the field, and Gu Xin patiently explained them to her one by one.
Yan Qin was just a child and found it magical, but Yan Zhao and Helian Yi saw something different.
If it really is the production volume that Princess Xin Xin mentioned, then that would be truly amazing!
On the second day of the ninth month, they wandered to the border of the Flowing Sand Kingdom.
That night, Gu Xin was getting ready for bed when Bai Si knocked on the door and called out to her, "Third Miss."
In private, Bai Si always communicated with Gu Xin in the Great Zhou dialect and called her Third Miss.
Gu Xin put on a coat and went to open the door: "What's wrong?"
Bai Si said excitedly, "General Xue, along with the eldest daughter and son-in-law, have arrived outside the city. The third daughter..."
Gu Xin quickly dressed and interrupted him, "Go, let's go now. Tell Mo Fei to stay here. If Prince Helian and Prince Shalin ask, just say I went to the military camp!"
After Gu Xin finished speaking, she rode away on horseback. Bai Si hurriedly went to find Mo Fei, gave Gu Xin some instructions, and then followed Gu Xin.
Gu Xin spurred her horse and galloped quickly to the camp outside the city.
All the soldiers in the entire Liusha Kingdom recognized Gu Xin and knew why she had come. As soon as she arrived, the gatekeepers led her horse and showed her the way.
Gu Xin rushed into the main tent at her fastest speed.
She stopped again when she reached the entrance of the camp.
She tidied her slightly messy hair and straightened her clothes. She looked up, sniffed, closed her eyes, and told herself: "Gu Xin, you're a grown woman now. You can't cry. If you cry, your older sister will think you're not doing well. You absolutely can't cry. This is a happy thing."
The curtain was opened, and Gu Hui stood in the doorway.
Gu Xin felt like she was dreaming. When she opened her eyes, she saw her eldest sister.
Gu Hui looked at her now taller younger sister and stretched out her hands.
"Big sister!" Gu Xin's nose tingled, and she hugged her. No matter how much she tried to prepare herself mentally, seeing her loved one like this was no use.
Tears are worthless; they fall like a torrential downpour.
Gu Hui hugged Gu Xin, feeling her excitement, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart.
No matter how well I heard Gu Xin was doing before, nothing felt as real and reassuring as seeing her in person.
She gently patted Gu Xin's back: "Our little Xin Xin has grown taller, she's almost as tall as me, her older sister. She just looks a little thin, but luckily, Dad let me bring all sorts of delicious food that Xin Xin likes."
"Big sister, I miss you all so much! I think about you every day." Gu Xin leaned on Gu Hui's shoulder and cried her heart out.
Gu Hui's eyes were also a little sore, but she was still able to control herself; she had hardly ever cried in her life.
Princess Jinghe ran over: "Xinxin, you can't just cry while hugging your older sister! Come here, let Sister Zhen give you a hug, come into Sister Zhen's arms!"
Interrupted like this, Gu Xin remembered that there were other people around. She wiped away her tears, hugged Princess Jinghe, then He Sanniang, and finally walked up to Xie Zhiyi.
Xie Zhiyi had already wiped away countless tears.
When she saw Gu Xin standing in front of her, she held back her tears and hugged Gu Xin tightly: "Xin Xin, I'm here, I'm here to be with you."
