Waking up in the morning sunshine, Qiao Shinian raised his hand and looked at what he was holding in his hand, facing the light and looking at his hand.

She stood up and walked to the dressing table and put down the things in her hands. Listening to the rustling sound, she felt inexplicably relieved.

At this point, Wen Jiu should have gone to school.

She looked at herself in her warm clothes and her body consciousness slowly returned.

Everything here is very simple and feels gray, just like her and Wen Jiu’s current prospects.

The bright life seems to have faded.

After changing his clothes, Qiao Shinian said to the window, "Someone come."

"Miss, you..." The maid who pushed the door open was stunned when she saw Qiao Shinian. She then lowered her head and said, "I will tie your hair for you."

Qiao Shinian's hair looked very beautiful, a feeling the little girl had never seen before.

The short hair just reaches the collarbone and is really black and shiny.

Qiao Shinian looked at the little girl in front of him: "Yueyu, why is it you? Where is Chunxue?"

"Sister Chunxue went to the academy with His Highness." Yue Yu lowered her head. She raised her head carefully and looked at Qiao Shinian: "Miss, your hair?"

"Oh, I got a haircut." Qiao Shinian didn't care. She sat on the stool in front of the dressing table, turned her head and waved at Yue Yu who seemed a little overwhelmed, "Come here!"

After Yue Yu had cleaned up for her, Qiao Shinian touched Yue Yu's head and asked, "Do you have to take care of me from now on?"

Yue Yu blushed and nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Yeah."

When Wen Jiu came back, he saw Qiao Shinian sitting at the table waiting for him as usual.

"Sister, I'm back." Wen Jiu walked over with a smile, waved away the people around him, and asked, "Is it hard to go back this time?"

Qiao Shinian shrugged and said easily: "Of course, this time Sister Yinyin asked her sisters to help me correct my movements, and I learned a lot. I will teach you after lunch."

"Ok!"

Wen Jiu picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate his meal in big mouthfuls and asked, "How long will it take for the imperial concubine to go there?"

"I don't know. Those dancers just learned to sing and can't even sing in unison." Qiao Shinian said this with a little distress. "To be honest, I used to think I was lively and outgoing. But since I went to teach Concubine Liu, I think I'm introverted and not sociable."

Qiao Shinian picked up a piece of chili pepper and said, "It's so hot! To be honest, it's really hot here. We don't have any ice here. Concubine Liu lies in the corridor every day to watch me teach the palace maids. Did you know that she actually put the ice outside? The ice melts very quickly!"

Wen Jiu puffed up his cheeks and blinked at Qiao Shinian. When he heard Qiao Shinian say this, his eyes narrowed into slits. After swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty, he said, "Sister, I'll give you a surprise when you come back this afternoon."

"Oh? You have ice?" Qiao Shinian asked puzzledly.

Wen Jiu looked at her and fell into silence, shaking his head: "No, it's too expensive, I won't buy it. Sister, what did you bring this time?" Wen Jiu's big eyes were full of curiosity.

Qiao Shinian raised his eyebrows, "Necessary blades for self-defense! And food."

"Wen Jiu, let's start hoarding rice seeds from now on, so that you will have your own capital when you return to Chuwen. Now in Zhou, we should be cautious. When we return to Chuwen, that will be your real battlefield, and we cannot be left with nothing. If you can solve the problem of food for the people, many people will support you."

Qiao Shinian lowered his voice and said, "Under the circumstances where we are not short of money, I will try not to bring money with me. I will just bring things that we may need in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister!" Wen Jiu nodded.

When it was dusk, Qiao Shinian walked back in small steps and saw Wen Jiu standing at the door, looking for her like a man waiting for his wife. When he saw her coming back, Wen Jiu quickly ran to Qiao Shinian and pulled her to the other side.

It was not far from where they lived now. When Wen Jiu stopped, Qiao Shinian was about to say something when his eyes widened.

There is actually a pond here, and it looks like it has been tidied by someone.

"Sister, look, from now on we will come here to cool off at night, and go back when it's cooler! You don't have to fight with me for the floor!"

"How did you do it?" The water in the pond seemed to be running water. Although it was not as good as the modern water, but looking at the faintly floating water in it, Qiao Shinian felt that this sultry night seemed to be saved.

It was too hot in ancient times. It would only get cooler after three or four in the morning, but it would soon be daybreak, and Wen Jiu would get up before dawn.

"I found a pool here before, but it was abandoned, so I took Wu Han to clean it up. Besides, few people come here. Palace maids and eunuchs will not go here after nightfall.

There are also those patrolling imperial guards. People here can only patrol once an hour. So this location is very hidden, sister can rest assured to soak in it with me. "Wen Jiu's eyes were bright, waiting for Qiao Shinian to praise him.

Qiao Shinian smiled, "Wow, my Wen Jiu is so great! Not only is he handsome, but he is also so careful and capable. He is simply the most powerful prince I have ever seen."

"Hehe." Wen Jiu lowered his head in satisfaction, and he downplayed the fact that Wu Han was a coolie.

What bad intentions could the little puppy have? He just wanted Qiao Shinian to look at him and care about him. He just wanted Qiao Shinian to praise him. He just wanted to get more warmth. What did he do wrong!

Wen Jiu held Qiao Shinian's hand and walked back.

"Sister, come over after we finish dinner. No, we can even practice sparring. I think I've almost understood what you taught me today. I feel like I'm awesome. I'm a martial arts genius."

"Okay, you are a martial arts genius! But you can't practice with me for too long. You are still young and can't stay up late. You won't grow taller if you stay up late." Qiao Shinian's voice was full of doting. She wanted to let go of Wen Jiu's hand because it was too hot, but she couldn't get rid of Wen Jiu's hand at all.

Wen Jiu was talking about what happened today all the way. He kept stealing glances at Qiao Shinian. This time when he returned, Qiao Shinian was much more cheerful than before, giving him the illusion that he was about to return to the time before anything happened.

Perhaps only in that world can Qiao Shinian feel relaxed. After all, it is not safe here.

Wen Jiu clenched his other hand into a fist. He wanted everyone to crawl at his feet. He wanted everyone not to dare to disobey him. Only in this way could he protect her. Only in this way could he make her feel safe in his world.

Maybe then, one day she would be reluctant to go back.

Maybe, she would be willing to stay, she would always be with him.

But now he is really too weak. He can't fight and has no power. He is someone who can be stepped on by anyone.

How can he be so weak!
