"It won't die even if we ignore it," Cha Bao said, continuing to eat the roast chicken. "Where shall we go for fun?"
"I should be going back to the palace today," Mu Run said. "There's still a lot to do there, and I'm worried about Huanhuan and Tuantuan."
"There must be good food in the palace?" Cha Bao asked, squinting her big cat eyes.
"Of course! There's nothing in the world that the imperial chefs can't make, only things you can't imagine," Mu Run laughed. "If you could eat something different every day, you could eat like that for years."
"Great, let's go, let's go!" Cha Bao said as she continued to gnaw on the roast chicken.
Mu Run stroked its big tail, and Cha Bao immediately stopped eating, turned its head and rubbed its head against her hand.
He got his hands covered in chicken oil from Mu Run's cooking...
Fu Yunchen entered and said to Mu Run, "We're going back to the palace today."
Mu Run nodded. "I know. That's why I made tea overnight."
"Sorry, I'll come back another time when I have more time."
"No need to apologize, political affairs are more important."
...
Yao Yao and Qiao Niangzi were waiting at the foot of the mountain to see them off. Qiao Niangzi, in particular, prepared a large bag of food for Mu Run.
When Qiao Dongzi saw this, he said to her, "It's only for a short while, is it necessary to prepare so much?"
Although he complained, he was quick to take the bundle and put it on his horse.
Qiao Niangzi ignored him and focused on talking to Mu Run and Zhuang Zhuang.
Zhuangzhuang and Qiao Niangzi spent most of the day on the mountain yesterday and became quite familiar and intimate. He took the chicken-blood stone gourd bracelet that Mu Run had given him off his wrist and handed it to Qiao Niangzi.
"The gourd symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. Giving it to Aunt Qiao is a wish for her to be blessed with good luck and wealth." The sweet, innocent voice could melt anyone's heart.
Lady Qiao was overjoyed. "Oh my, my little prince, you have such a sweet tongue! You speak so well. Auntie doesn't want your gourd, but I appreciate your kind intentions."
Finally, I couldn't help but reach out and hug him.
Mu Run watched with a smile. He had to admit that Zhuang Zhuang was indeed very good at handling things and had a keen eye for detail.
But the fact that things turned out this way shows how cautious he was when he was young.
She turned to look at Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen was talking to Qiao Dongzi, and his expression was somewhat serious.
Noticing Mu Run's gaze, Fu Yunchen turned around, composed himself, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Run: "...I'll tell you later."
Fu Yunchen was slightly taken aback.
...
On the way back to the capital, Cha Bao found the carriage boring, so she ran out to play. Before leaving, she told Mu Run that it would wait for her in the palace.
Mu Run knew that it had discovered something again and gone off to play.
Inside the carriage, Mu Run sat cross-legged on the brocade cushion, holding Zhuang Zhuang in his arms, and said to him, "When we have time, shall we go back to Bianyun Village to play again?"
"I brought my older brother and sister with me."
"good."
Zhuangzhuang nestled into her arms, inhaling her warm and comforting scent, and yawned.
"Tired? Then take a nap." Mu Run gently patted his back.
"Mother, go to sleep too."
"You go to sleep first."
Zhuangzhuang quickly fell asleep to Murun's rhythmic patting.
Mu Run put him down, covered him with a thin blanket, and then left the carriage.
Fu Yunchen was driving the carriage.
She sat down next to him. "I forgot to tell you something."
Fu Yunchen looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Don't you have a junior brother named Yong Li?"
