The group traveled at a leisurely pace, embarking on the next leg of their journey, during which they constantly craved snacks, fruits, and new conversation starters.
If something is missing the day before, it will be made up the next day. Even if there is no matching one, someone else will make up for it with something else.
When I got tired, I would lie down on Qing'er to rest, read storybooks with her, listen to the people in the carriage next door singing, and enjoy Xiao Yanzi's antics.
When Little Swallow arrived, she rested on Little Swallow's lap, snuggling right into Little Swallow's arms.
It wasn't that she wanted to rely on Xiao Yanzi; it was Xiao Yanzi who directly snatched her from Qing'er's hands and held her in her arms.
It's always more comfortable to have someone lean on than to sit upright on your own. Chen Nian was delicate by nature and not the type to compromise herself, so when Xiao Yanzi let her lean on her, she did.
The three of them ate, drank, chatted, and discussed storybooks together, making the journey anything but boring.
As for the Emperor, with the talented Ziwei around, he's never short of fun.
"Come, come, the magistrate has stepped down, let's hurry and see him off."
The people inside the carriage simultaneously lifted the curtain, revealing five heads.
"It seems that besides the bad official in Meihua Town, there are still other good officials. It's really not easy for so many people to see off the county magistrate when he leaves office. Come on, let's get off the carriage and see the excitement."
As soon as Chen Nian and Qing'er parted, they heard the Emperor's gratified sigh, his eyes crinkling with a smile.
Looking at the two windows occupied by Xiao Yanzi and the Emperor, Chen Nian felt extremely fortunate that she and Qing'er had their own carriage; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to watch the show.
The Emperor's carriage had six windows. Both Xiao Yanzi and the Emperor enjoyed watching plays, but only three windows offered the best viewing experience. If she and Qing'er were also in that carriage, they certainly wouldn't be able to see any good plays.
However, hearing the same old remarks, Shen Nian shook his head slightly, thinking it was too early to say such things.
"What's wrong?"
Qing'er noticed Chen Nian's actions and asked in confusion.
"It's alright, let's go downstairs."
Chen Nian pulled Qing'er up, and the two got off the carriage. Xiao Yanzi was already waiting for them downstairs. She just needed to get off before taking them to see the play.
"Niannian, Qing'er, hurry up, let's go see the play. Master and Ziwei have already gone ahead."
Upon seeing the two of them get out of the carriage, Xiao Yanzi couldn't wait to drag them to see the play.
Yongqi, Benjamin, and Ertai came up behind the group.
Watching a play is nothing compared to being with them.
"Let's go, let's go together."
Little Swallow waved to Yongqi and the other two standing behind her, then grabbed Chen Nian with her left hand and Qing'er with her right, and flew forward quickly.
The three guards, who had just moved from the front to the back, were once again forgotten: ...
By the time the group reached the front, the performance had already begun. The person being "sent off" got out of the sedan chair, and Xiao Yanzi led the two others to the best spot.
"I never expected that this magistrate would have such virtuous governance, like the five great rulers of heaven and earth. Could there be some hidden meaning behind this gift?"
As Qing'er looked at the person who stepped out of the sedan chair, her eyes widened slightly. She turned to Chen Nian beside her and tentatively said, "I never expected that such a person would have five great virtues."
"Uh-huh."
Looking at the person whose face was shiny with oil and whose double chin was showing from laughing, Shen Nian couldn't help but turn her head back, not even wanting to eat the melon seeds that Ertai offered her for watching the show.
She could hardly bear to look at that man; he was just too slick.
He agreed with Qing'er's words, thinking, "Qing'er is so clever; she definitely has a deeper meaning behind her words."
