Sister, you traveled through time too?

Xu Zhu was covered in blood, kneeling in the carriage stiffly and pitifully, with tears welling up in his eyes, which made me feel pity for him.

It was only through Xiaoyu's inquiries that she learned that Xuzhu had saved enough money to redeem himself, took back the indenture contract and wanted to leave Lanfeng Tower.

But Lan Fenglou's mother didn't really want to let him go, and she sent thugs to take back the indenture contract and forcibly take him back.

Xuzhu cried and said that he was penniless and had offended the people in Lanfeng Tower, and begged Xiaoyu to take him in.

"I only hope that Your Highness will consider our old friendship and give Ah Zhu a place to stay. I only hope that I can serve Your Highness. Even if I am just a servant, it will be an honor for Ah Zhu."

Xuzhu panted weakly and said with tears in his eyes.

Xia Jie: You really know how to act pitiful...

Xia Jie glanced into the car from time to time, staring at Xu Zhu with unfriendly eyes, feeling that the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

He didn't understand why he had such strong malice towards a stranger, but he just didn't like this person.

What? Do you want to enter His Highness’ backyard?

He thought of the servant named Qiuzhe in the backyard of His Highness, and looked at Xuzhu whose face was wet with rain.

Both of them have their own strengths, but in terms of temperament, Xu Zhu is far behind Qiu Zhe.

It was obvious that Xia Jie liked Qiu Shijun very much, so why did he dislike Xu Zhu so much?

He remained silent and simply ignored the inside of the car and focused on riding.

After listening to Xuzhu's words, Xiaoyu just patted his head gently and whispered, "You have suffered."

She closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Xu Zhu and said, "Then you should go back home with me first."

There was a flash of pride in Xuzhu's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

He thanked Xiaoyu gratefully and sat obediently in the corner.

Xiaoyu keenly caught the emotions in his eyes. She said nothing, but just smiled.

Then he leaned back on the soft couch in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Xia Jie looked at Xiaoyu and wanted to say something but held back.

I have no right to interfere with her decision. She is her highness, so it is normal for there to be many people in the backyard.

But he looked at Xuzhu with a somewhat melancholy look.

So many people are trying their best to get into His Highness's backyard.

It is still unknown how many old foxes from aristocratic families will want to put people into His Highness' courtyard.

Xia Jie suddenly thought, who would be the master of His Highness's backyard?

Who will become her legitimate husband that she declares to the world?

Xia Jie looked at Xiaoyu's captivating face and carefully memorized her beauty in his heart.

He was glad that Her Highness did not open her eyes, so he dared to keep looking at her.

Xia Jie didn't dare to look into her eyes, her eyes were so beautiful, with a magical power to bewitch people.

Xia Jie was afraid that if he looked at him a few more times, he would lose his mind.

For a moment, he actually wanted to become the legitimate heir of His Highness, one who could be recorded as a legitimate ruler by His Highness.

He felt like he was crazy, really crazy.

Your Highness's backyard is bound to be a mixed bag, with people from all sides eyeing it covetously. This is muddy water.

It is not easy to become the master of His Highness's backyard and manage the people in this yard.

Who would be stupid enough to jump into this fire pit?

Although His Highness only has one servant now, the backyard will definitely be extremely lively in the future.

Xia Jie was overwhelmed by the thought. How could he have such a crazy idea?

Be a partner, stand beside Her Highness, support her and be on equal footing with her.

Xia Jie felt that this was what he wanted.

He must stand with her as an image of equal stature to Her Highness.

A man without interests can be replaced at any time, but partners with intertwined interests last the longest. He and His Highness have a long future together.

He immediately felt much more relieved. As long as their interests were intertwined deeply enough, he and His Highness would be tied together forever.

While he was distracted, he had already sent Her Highness to the gate of the mansion. Xia Jie regretted that he was distracted and did not look at her for a longer time.

At this moment, His Highness opened his eyes, and he didn't dare to look at him any longer.

He politely bowed and said goodbye to Xiaoyu, thinking that he would be leaving for the war tomorrow anyway, so he might as well take one last look at her.

He raised his head and just saw Xiaoyu staring at him tenderly.

Their eyes met, and Xia Jie just looked into her eyes, his panic slowly turning into gentleness.

The general's eyes were as gentle as water. He took one last deep look at Xiaoyu and rode away.

"You have a weak mind, you deserve to die." Xia Jie took a detour to the racecourse in the west of the city, feeling that there was a fire in his heart that needed to be vented.

He rode his horse at a rapid speed, cursing himself muttering to himself.

Yes, just looking into her eyes makes me want to stay with her.

Xia Jie galloped, trying to regain the feeling of running freely on the grassland to suppress the urge to stay by her side.

He ran until he was exhausted, but he still couldn't forget her gentle eyes.

It doesn’t matter, he thought, since we will be back to the grassland soon anyway.

[Princess Mansion, Qiushuiju]

Qiuzhe was sitting on the swing at this moment, wrapping gold thread around the gold leaves in his hand.

The night was as gentle as water, the courtyard was brightly lit, the shadows of the trees were intertwined, and he looked particularly beautiful sitting under the tree.

Jinbao, who was standing next to him, was holding a basket and carefully placed the gold leaves that Qiuzhe had wrapped.

"Master, you have wrapped it beautifully. When your birthday comes, I will hang the leaves on the persimmon tree with His Highness. The persimmons will be ripe by then."

"We can make persimmon cakes and persimmon jam, and we can also eat crispy fresh persimmons."

Jinbao was laughing and drooling at the same time. His little face was round and chubby, and his eyes were round and black like two black grapes. He was very cute.

"You, hahaha." Qiuzhe looked at Jinbao with a helpless and doting smile, and kept saying that he was a little greedy cat.

Before Jinbao could argue, he saw two other cleaning sisters coming over with Cuiling.

You have to know that Cui Ling is the personal maidservant of His Highness, and no one dares to neglect her.

"Aunt Cuiling." Jinbao smiled sweetly and greeted Cuiling.

Cui Ling looked at Jinbao and felt that the boy looked more and more like a New Year picture doll.

She covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Master Qiu's food is really good. Look at how Jinbao eats. His face is as round as a doll in a New Year painting."

Qiuzhe smiled gently upon hearing this. Jinbao said that he had baby fat and pouted to express his dissatisfaction.

"Miss Cui Ling is here, but is there anything His Highness can do for you?" Qiu Zhe asked.

Cui Ling nodded and said, "His Highness saved a young master on the way. He had many injuries and wanted to ask you to go over and treat him. His Highness also said that he had something to discuss with you."

Qiuzhe nodded and thought: "Saved a... young master?"

He still smiled gently, ordered Jinbao to bring the medical box, and went to Rongxing Hall with Cuiling.

Rongxing Hall is a hall next to His Highness's bedroom.

Usually banquets, entertaining guests and handling business are held here.

As Qiuzhe approached Rongxing Hall, he saw the man in blue sitting below the prince.

Xu Zhu, who was sitting below Xiao Yu, naturally saw Qiu Zhe who had just come in.

The two men's eyes met, and Qiu Zhe felt that the man was looking at him with an unfriendly look.

But it seems like an illusion.

"Your Highness, I am in good health." Qiuzhe smiled kindly and greeted Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu stood up and helped him up, smiling and pulling him to sit next to him.

This is the seat where only His Highness can sit, overlooking the entire hall.

Qiuzhe was terrified and said respectfully that he would just stand next to His Highness.

Standing next to His Highness and overlooking the entire venue is also a great honor.

Xu Zhu felt uneasy, thinking that this man must be the prince's servant.

Didn't His Highness already ignore him a long time ago?

Now it seems like this never happened.
