"Zisu, was I the only one who kept thinking about that from the beginning?"
Upon hearing Tang Shiya's words, Zisu lowered her head, unsure what to say. After a while, she finally spoke.
"Your Highness, please take it easy. The Crown Prince is growing up very well."
Tang Shiya remained stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Yu Feng patted his chest and sighed.
"How am I supposed to find Miss Xiao in this vast sea of people?"
"Master, this task is really making things difficult for me!!!"
Yu Feng patted his chest again as he spoke, and then continued searching from restaurant to restaurant.
"It's been several days already, how long am I supposed to keep looking?"
Yu Feng stood on the street, looking at the long street bustling with people, and sighed.

"Brother, we haven't seen our sister for many days."
In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Qin Jingtai leaned on the table and spoke to Qin Jingmu.
"Hmm, do you want to see him?"
Qin Jingmu put down the wood and knife in his hands, looked at Qin Jingtai, and asked...
"Of course I want to! Don't you want to, brother?"
After Qin Jingtai finished speaking, he buried his head in his arms and asked in a muffled voice.
"But hey bro, what are you doing?"
Qin Jingtai looked up at the long piece of wood and the small knife in Qin Jingmu's hand and asked a question.
"I'm going to make a candied hawthorn skewer for my little sister that she can only look at but not eat."
"Brother, you're so mean! You're deceiving your sister!"
"I just like her because she's pretty."
"Hmph, I'm going to find my sister."
After saying this, Qin Jingtai stood up and left.
After watching Qin Jingtai leave, Qin Jingmu continued to carve the candied hawthorn with a small knife and other tools.
Qin Jingtai arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and looked up at the plaque.
"This servant greets Your Highness the Third Prince."
"Your Highness, what are you doing standing here?"
As soon as Suanshu emerged from the main gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he saw Qin Jingtai standing at the entrance. He then asked...
"Of course, I'm here to see my sister."
"What a pity, the princess and His Majesty are not in the palace."
"Are you lying to me again?"
Qin Jingtai took a step forward, looked up at the arithmetic with a disbelieving expression.
"Oh dear, Your Highness!"
"How dare this servant lie to you?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask His Highness."
The arithmetic man stood before Qin Jingtai, earnestly explaining his reasoning, but Qin Jingtai remained as steadfast as a wooden stake, refusing to back down.
This is really tough on arithmetic.
"Let me in!"
"No, Your Highness."
"Neither His Majesty nor the Princess are in the Hall of Mental Cultivation; no one is allowed to enter."
"Then this prince will not leave."
Qin Jingtai plopped down on the steps at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The palace servants busy in the Hall of Mental Cultivation looked at each other, none of them daring to urge Qin Jingtai to leave, and could only let him sit there.
That's true, seeing Qin Jingtai sitting on the steps on the ground, with a long face (meaning a mournful expression), standing behind Qin Jingtai...

Zou Heng drove the carriage out of the city.
"Selling candied hawthorns... sweet and sour candied hawthorns!"
"Selling candied hawthorns... sweet and sour candied hawthorns!"
The carriage happened to pass by the vendor selling candied hawthorns.
Little Xi'er, who was initially dozing off in the car, heard the words "sweet and sour candied hawthorns."
The little head stopped panicking, and the eyes stopped squinting. It looked directly at Qin Jue with a "I want to eat" gaze.
"Zou Heng, stop the car. Buy the princess two strings of candied hawthorns."
"Yes, Master."
Zou Heng parked the carriage next to him, and Sanhezi got off.
"I'll go buy it for you, Miss."
"Um"
Seeing that Qin Jue agreed, Sanhezi walked over to the vendor selling candied hawthorns at the back.
A short while later, Sanhezi bought two skewers of candied hawthorn, returned to the carriage, and handed them to Qin Jue.
Once it reached Qin Jue's hands, it was in Xiao Xi'er's hands as well. Sure enough, two strings of candied hawthorns appeared in front of Xiao Xi'er, and at that moment, the carriage continued its journey.
When Sanhezi was buying candied hawthorns, he was seen by someone.
After seeing the carriage disappear into the distance, the man quickly used his light-footed skill to give chase.
Not long after leaving the city, Zou Heng leaned against the carriage door and whispered to Qin Jue inside.
"Master, someone is following us."
"They seem to be one of Young Master Jun's men."
Ignore it
"yes"
After speaking, Zou Heng continued to drive the carriage attentively.
After about half an hour, the carriage arrived at the foot of a mountain, and Zou Heng stopped the carriage.
He got off the carriage himself, while Sanhezi brought over a footstool. Zou Heng then lifted the carriage curtain.
Qin Jue then took the opportunity to get down from the carriage, carrying Xiao Xi'er in his arms.
"Father, have we arrived yet?"
Xiao Xi looked at the steps leading up the mountain, then looked at Qin Jue and asked...
"We need to go up."
"Aoao"
After saying that, Xiao Xi'er slipped out of Qin Jue's arms and stood on the ground.
"Daddy, let's all go up together!"
"good"
After Xiao Xi finished speaking, she took Qin Jue's hand and slowly walked towards the uphill path paved with steps.
Qin Jue and Xiao Xi'er walked ahead, while Sanhezi Zou Heng followed behind them.
It was as if the wind reached the carriage and then saw the steps leading up the mountain.
Standing below, Yu Feng sighed as he looked at the winding uphill path, and then began his ascent of the steps.
