It turned out that Yang Yuanyuan had returned to the General's Mansion long before she and Jun Qingzhi parted ways at the city gate.
After spending two days at the general's mansion, I noticed that Yang Caiwei and Yang Fan were both hesitant about me, wanting to say something but not saying it.
Finally, Yang Yuanyuan couldn't hold back any longer and asked Yang Ling to find out the details of the incident.
So Yang Yuanyuan found Yang Caiwei and explained that her grandmother had a pot of 'Wei Zi Mudan' (a type of peony), and Yang Yuanyuan indicated that she could ask her grandmother for it.
The next day, Yang Yuanyuan packed her things and returned to her hometown of Guangchen.
After that trip, plus spending time with my family in Guangchen, I'm only just getting back now.
Yang Yuanyuan gave the 'Wei Zi Mudan' to Yang Caiwei as soon as she returned to the General's Mansion.
After Yang Caiwei obtained the 'Wei Zi Mudan', she discussed it with Yang Yuanyuan and had Yang Yuanyuan take it into the palace to give to Yang Jiaojiao.

Yi Zhengxiang
The group entered the 'Elegant Music' private room.
"Daddy, the cakes here are so delicious!"
"Last time, Little Pot was eaten by Woci."
"Oh? Do you remember that pastry, Xiaoxi?"
When Qin Jue heard Xiao Xi'er say it was delicious, he asked which pastry it was and prepared to have the waiter bring a plate as well.
Xiao Xi rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.
"The cake was white, with red flowers on top, and green dots on the flowers."
After saying that, Xiao Xi'er thought about it again and confirmed, "Daddy, that's how Gao Gao is."
To be honest, Qin Jue didn't know what kind of pastry Xiao Xi'er was talking about.
But this didn't stop Qin Jue from giving Sanhezi a meaningful look.
Poor Sanhezi went downstairs to ask the waiter what kind of pastries they were.
Inside the 'Elegant Music' private room, Jun Qingzhi smiled and said, "Xi'er, do you want to know what kind of pastries we had last time?"
"I want to, I want to..."
"The pastry we had last time was 'Plum Blossom Hibiscus Cake.' The white stuff Xi'er mentioned is hibiscus cake, the red flowers are made from plum blossom jam, and the green stuff is mung bean powder."
Wow, little pot is so amazing!
Xiao Xi'er praised Jun Qingzhi with her mouth wide open, but Qin Jue was still quite unhappy to hear Xiao Xi'er praising someone else.
"Isn't it just hibiscus cake? Little Xi'er, what kind of cakes don't we have at home?"
At this moment, the master of sabotage—Xiao Xi'er—came online.
"Father, why haven't I ever eaten this cake at home?"
Qin Jue was stunned, never expecting his daughter to contradict him. Jun Qingzhi, sitting on the other side, laughed without hesitation and said...
"It's alright, little Xi'er, this meal is on me."
"Really?"
"real"
Wow, you're so kind, bro!
Overjoyed, Xiao Xi stood on Qin Jue's lap, her little hands resting on his shoulders, and excitedly said...
"Daddy, let's have a meal together."
Qin Jue, his face dark, couldn't manage a smile. "Little Xi'er, Daddy's rich. I don't need this little brat who hasn't even grown his beard yet to pay for you."
"It's not like that, it's not like that" (No)
When Xiao Xi heard Qin Jue mention money, she quickly turned around. She frantically waved her little hands from side to side, eager to explain to Jun Qingzhi.
"Little one, don't listen to what your daddy says. Your daddy has no money, he's poor!"
"Look, Daddy's money all went to buy me something to eat!"
Jun Qingzhi looked in the direction Xiao Xi'er pointed and naturally saw the candied hawthorn skewer made of straw that Sanhezi and Zou Heng had been carrying, along with other things.
While Jun Qingzhi was looking over, Xiao Xi'er turned around and climbed onto Qin Jue's shoulder, saying what she thought was a very quiet whisper, but everyone in the private room could hear her.
Xiao Xi looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, then quickly moved closer to Qin Jue's ear, grabbing it with one hand and covering her mouth with the other.
"Father, let me tell you, we have no money, have you forgotten, Father?"
"This little pot looks like it's loaded, Sony (so)...hehehehe..."
Standing behind Qin Jue, Zou Heng looked exasperated. "Princess, you can speak freely, but could you please lower your voice? Everyone in the room could hear you!"
Hearing what Xiao Xi'er said, Qin Jue remembered what he had told her before about being poor and having no money. He then narrowed his eyes at Jun Qingzhi standing beside him.
Hmph, trying to seduce my daughter? You want to treat her to dinner, huh? Fine, then you'll get a proper meal.
Jun Qingzhi chuckled silently upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's voice, then glanced at Qin Jue's attire.
Hmm... Although the clothes, hair ornament, and jade pendant she was wearing were all of the finest quality, considering what Xiao Xi'er said about her unreliable father being poor...
Jun Qingzhi became even more certain of her thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh, "Such a fine young man, seemingly strong, yet he's a complete freeloader."
When Xiao Xi'er saw that Qin Jue didn't mention his wealth again, and that Jun Qingzhi hadn't heard it either, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, revealing her little baby teeth.
Two little tiger teeth were also revealed.
"Zou Heng"
Zou Heng, who had been called, walked to Qin Jue's side, bent down, and listened to what Qin Jue had to say.
They then left the 'Elegant Music' private room.
Xiao Xi'er sat on Qin Jue's lap, talking to Jun Qingzhi.
"Little Pot, what's your name?"
My name is Jun Qingzhi.
"Oh, Junqingzhi."
If Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan were here, they would definitely feel they were being treated unfairly.
Why can Xiao Xi'er pronounce "Jun Qingzhi" but not "Fang Zixu" or "Wei Yuanxuan"?
"Then I'll call you Brother Qingzhi. Why does it feel a little weird?"
"Yes, it is a little bit inferior to Xi..."
At this moment, Qin Jue interjected, "Xi'er feels strange because she called him 'brother' even though he's not your brother, so it feels odd."
"Is that so?"
Little Xi'er looked at Qin Jue with a bewildered and confused expression, and Qin Jue nodded without batting an eye.
Unexpectedly, Jun Qingzhi started talking again. As soon as Jun Qingzhi began to speak, Qin Jue looked at her.
That look in his eyes was saying, "You think you're worthy to be Xiao Xi'er's brother? Don't be so shameless. You'd better be sensible and change the subject."
The shameless Qingzhi completely ignored Qin Jue's displeased and threatening gaze.
Looking at Xiaoxi'er, he spoke gently.
"Little Xi'er, why don't you call me by my courtesy name?"
"Okay...yes, okay..."
What is your handwriting?
Little Xi'er, holding a piece of pastry in one hand, ate it while talking to Jun Qingzhi.
Her chubby cheeks made her look just like a little squirrel.
"My courtesy name is 'Youluo,' and Xiaoxi can call me 'Brother Youluo.'"
"Brother Youluo"
"Um…"
Hearing Xiao Xi'er call Jun Qingzhi "Brother Youluo," Qin Jue became even more dissatisfied with Jun Qingzhi.
Don't let Jun Qingzhi's calm and collected demeanor fool you; she's actually overjoyed inside.
