Qin Ruoxi was pleasantly surprised to see the people riding up on horseback.
"Second brother, what brings you here?"
"I've come to see you off."
Qin Ruoxi leaned her arm against the carriage window, watching Qin Jingmu ride up on horseback.
"Second brother, are you reluctant to part with me?"
Qin Jingmu was taken aback by Qin Ruoxi's words, then smiled at her.
"yes"
"Wow, second brother, you actually admitted it so directly!"
Qin Ruoxi feigned shock and looked at Qin Jingmu.
"Little sister, take this."
Qin Jingmu took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ruoxi. Qin Ruoxi reached out from the carriage window and accepted the jade pendant.
"What's wrong, Second Brother?"
"This is?"
Qin Jingmu stated directly, "This jade pendant can be used to withdraw money at any of the money shops in Shunyi, with no upper limit."
"Is this a token that allows me to withdraw money?"
Upon hearing Qin Jingmu's words, Qin Ruoxi looked excited and asked expectantly.
Yes, there's no upper limit.
"And you know about all the other Qin family shops, just go and get whatever you need."
"I will also prepare things for you in the capital and have them sent over."
"If you need anything, just tell any of the Qin family's shops, and they will send you a message."
Qin Ruoxi listened quietly as Qin Jingmu instructed her, "Also, and most importantly, come back healthy."
"Your second brother is waiting for you in the capital. Your eldest brother and fifth brother are also there."
After saying this, Qin Jingmu's horse slowly came to a stop. Sitting on its back, Qin Jingmu watched the two heads peeking out from either side of the departing carriage.
"We understand, Second Brother."
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's voice, Qin Jingmu waved to Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingke.
Qin Jingke and Qin Ruoxi also waved in Qin Jingmu's direction.
Only after Qin Jingmu could no longer see the carriage did he pull on the horse's reins and head towards the capital.
After seeing that the carriage was no longer in sight, Qin Jue, who was on the city wall, slowly walked down the wall and used his light-footed skill to return to the palace.
Qin Jingmu rode his horse into the capital city and happened to run into Luo Bing at the city gate.
Luo Bing's eyes lit up the moment she saw Qin Jingmu.
"Qin Jingmu! Qin Jingmu!"
Qin Jingmu rode his horse into the city and stopped when he heard some familiar shouts. He turned his head while still on his horse and saw Luo Bing waving at him.
A faint smile appeared on his usually expressionless face, and then he dismounted.
As soon as Qin Jingmu dismounted, Luo Bing ran up to him, lifting her skirt, and looked up at him.
"You can ride a horse?"
"Um"
"Very dashing and heroic."
"Thanks"
Although Qin Jingmu's face remained expressionless, a slight blush could be seen on his ears.
Qin Jingmu thought Luo Bing wouldn't find out, but he was proven wrong the next second.
Luo Bing tiptoed closer to Qin Jingmu, looked at his face, then at his ears, and then laughed.
"Pfft—"
"Are you shy when I praise you?"
"But Xi'er didn't tell me you're so easily embarrassed?"
Luo Bing asked, feigning confusion, and then looked at Qin Jingmu's ear.
Qin Jingmu pursed his lips upon hearing Luo Bing's words, and remained silent.
When Qin Jingmu noticed that Luo Bing was looking at his ear, he quickly made up an excuse.
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Without waiting for Luo Bing's reaction, Qin Jingmu mounted his horse and rode away.
Luo Jie also came out from a shop on the side.
"Sis, what are you looking at?"
As Luo Jie spoke, Luo Bing looked over, but found nothing.
What business is it of yours what I'm looking at?
Luo Bing said something to Luo Jie with dissatisfaction, then turned around.
"Hey, didn't you say that Princess Leyang would be leaving for Ancheng from this city gate at noon?"
Luo Bing watched for a long time without seeing the legendary Princess Leyang leave the city, then turned to look at Luo Jie.
That look in his eyes seemed to say, 'You're lying to me?'
"Sister, it's true. That's what everyone's saying."
"It's also possible that Princess Leyang has already left the city for Ancheng?"
"Then why don't you say that Princess Leyang might not be going to Ancheng today, but in a few days?"
Luo Jie did not refute Luo Bing's words.
"Let's go back to the theater."
Seeing that Princess Leyang wouldn't appear any longer, Luo Bing left with Luo Jie.
After Luo Bing and Luo Jie left, Qin Jingmu emerged from around a corner, leading a horse with its reins.
Behind him followed Lu Feng, who was holding a fan and smiling broadly.
"Who would have thought that the Second Prince, who usually seems so serious and aloof, is actually so innocent?"
Lu Feng put away his fan and teased Qin Jingmu. Just as he finished teasing, a sharp gaze fell upon him.
Lu Feng, undaunted, spoke again.
"You've really fallen for that girl?"
Lu Feng glanced at Qin Jingmu's slightly red ears, then remembered that he had just been wearing a theatrical-style costume. He rested his fan on his chin and asked earnestly.
"It's none of your business."
After speaking, Qin Jingmu led the horse around a corner. Lu Feng quickly followed.
"I was just curious, wasn't I?"
"Please tell my brother about this!"
"Look at my big, curious eyes," Lu Feng said, blinking twice as he spoke.
"Get out, you're disgusting!"
"Disgusting? Me...disgusting???"
