I have been farming since I crossed over.

His Royal Highness the Wise King rushed out like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye he came back like a whirlwind, holding several exquisite wooden boxes and several crystal clear porcelain cups in his hands, his face filled with excitement and anticipation, like a child eager to show his new toys to an adult.

He trotted over to Yang Mingxi and handed her the items as if offering a treasure, saying with a broad smile, "Madam Thirteen, take a look at these things. Do you think they can be of use?"

Yang Mingxi was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes were drawn to the objects before her. She reached out and took one of the wooden boxes, examining it carefully. A look of surprise crossed her eyes as she exclaimed, "Wow, this wooden box is so exquisitely crafted! The carvings are so lifelike, and the colors are so well matched! It's truly wonderful!"

Hearing Yang Mingxi's praise, the virtuous prince smiled even more happily, and quickly said, "Hehe, since the Thirteenth Madam likes it, I'll think about it carefully after I get back and try to design a complete set for you. If you can draw the style for me yourself, that would be even better. I will definitely make the most perfect product according to your requirements, and even take care of the outer packaging!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes lit up instantly. Yes, if these things were made into sets of exquisite gift boxes, they would definitely be very popular! Thinking of this, she quickly responded, "Okay, okay, then I'll draw a rough outline for you, and then you can help me refine it. Make a few sets of samples as soon as possible so I can see the results."

The virtuous king readily agreed, patting his chest and guaranteeing, "No problem, this little thing won't be too difficult for me. Don't worry, Madam Thirteen, I will definitely do my best to do my best and make you absolutely satisfied!"

Just as the two were chatting happily, Lu Jintang came over with a sullen face. Without saying a word, he grabbed the virtuous king's arm and pulled him to the side, muttering angrily, "Alright, alright, you have nothing to do here anymore. Get out of here as far as you can! Don't get in the way!"

Yang Mingxi felt that Lu Jintang's treatment of a prince was a bit unkind, so she quickly said with a smile, "Wise Prince, please help me run an errand and call my third sister over. Tell her you have something good to give her."

The virtuous king looked at Yang Mingxi with a smile on his face and said softly, "Madam Thirteen, you don't have to be so reserved. The relationship between me and Atang is much closer than you think." After that, he turned around gracefully and walked away with a leisurely pace.

After hearing this, Yang Mingxi was completely stunned, and thought to herself: "Much closer than I thought? What does this mean? Could it be... impossible!" Full of suspicion, she couldn't help but lock her eyes on Lu Jintang, looking him back and forth.

At first, Lu Jintang was quite happy when he heard what the virtuous king said. However, after he carefully considered the words, he felt that something was not right, but he could not think deeply about the reason for the moment.

At this moment, he noticed Yang Mingxi's strange expression, and suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but reveal a sly and slightly ferocious smile, and said to Yang Mingxi with gritted teeth, "Humph, it seems that last night's 'actual action' was far from enough for you! So much so that you still have the leisure time to think about all those messed up things? In that case, let's get on with it tonight!"

Yang Mingxi rolled her eyes at Lu Jintang and said unhappily, "You fellow, aren't you hungry at all? What are you still dawdling about? Hurry up and eat something, we have to get going! Don't forget, we're going on a long journey! Today is already the ninth day of the first lunar month. If we don't set off now, I'm afraid we won't have enough time!"

Lu Jintang smiled and responded cheerfully: "Axi, don't be anxious! Look, I brought you breakfast! Go and eat!" As he said that, he turned and walked towards the dining room.

Yang Mingxi muttered, "Where on earth did you get this breakfast?" as she quickly followed Lu Jintang into the dining room. As soon as she entered, her eyes were drawn to the food on the table—steaming buns, delicious cold noodles, and several plates of exquisite and delicious side dishes.

"Could it be that... you brought all these from my house?" Yang Mingxi asked curiously with a smile on her face, then walked to the table, reached out her hand and gently picked up a bun, put it into her mouth without hesitation, and took a big bite.

Seeing this, Lu Jintang also picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks instantly puffed up. He replied vaguely, "Hey, yes! I told our mother that you were busy, and the breakfast I made was really not that good, so she asked me to bring a lot more. Look, here are not only buns, but also pancakes! Mother prepared these specially for us to eat on the road, and I guess these buns were prepared for this purpose!"

The two had just finished breakfast when they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from afar. Yang Mingxi frowned and said, "That's the sound of horse hooves! Who would come here on horseback? That's too ostentatious!"

"It must be my third sister. She likes riding horses and goes out for a ride in the morning." After Lu Jintang finished speaking, he saw Lu Jinge riding a horse through the wide-open gate of the courtyard.

Lu Jinge was riding a snow-white horse with a strong and agile figure. When she saw Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang at the door, she shouted loudly: "Axi, I heard that you have something good to give me? Let me see what treasure it is!" Her face was filled with an excited smile, as beautiful as a blooming flower.

Yang Mingxi walked forward with a smile and said, "Third sister, I just made some cleansing cream and moisturizing cream. Could you please help me pack them and then give one to each person in our family. In addition, I would like to trouble you to teach everyone how to use these things." As she spoke, she blinked, and her playful and cute look made people laugh.

Lu Jinge looked at the things on the table cheerfully, patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this little thing! But you have to come back early, and it would be best if you can bring back some fresh and interesting things to broaden our horizons." As she spoke, she stared at the two large basins on the table curiously, and couldn't wait to try the effect.

Lu Jintang hurriedly said, "Third sister, we are going out this time for important matters. The schedule is very tight and I'm afraid we will be quite busy. If we are delayed for too long, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival." There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinge frowned slightly, looked at the two of them worriedly, and said, "Well, you must be careful and cautious on the road and pay attention to safety. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to send someone home in time, and we will find a way to help you solve it." Then, she turned around and placed the two wooden basins on the horse's back and secured them. She turned back and instructed, "I'll take the things first, you guys go and get busy!"

Yang Mingxi nodded, grabbed the dry food Wu had carefully prepared, and placed it in her bag. She also packed a few changes of clothes. Once everything was packed, she and Lu Jintang boarded the mule cart. Gently whipping the mule, they slowly moved forward. The wheels creaked, a sound that seemed to convey a sense of parting.

As the mule cart gradually moved away, Lu Jinge stood there, staring at the direction they left for a long time, silently praying in his heart that the two would have a safe journey.
