A life of ups and downs is pure joy

The carriage carrying Lin Qinghuan and his group left Jinhan City and headed north. At the same time, Ning Junze and his group, who were heading south, had just arrived at the last county of Dakun Kingdom.

"We are finally setting off. Are you happy?" Lin Qinghuan happily asked Chuxia who was making tea for him and Xiao Yi.

"As long as I'm with the girl, Chuxia will be happy wherever he goes." The little girl said as she washed the tea leaves and poured hot water into the teacup.

"Is my husband happy?" Lin Qinghuan turned her head and looked at Xiao Yi who had been reading a book and asked.

"What do you think, silly?" Xiao Yi closed the book and tapped Lin Qinghuan's little head and said gently.

"Huan'er is stupid, how could he know what Jin Han, the smartest man, thinks." Lin Qinghuan said mischievously on purpose.

Chu Xia chuckled and then looked up to see how her brother-in-law would respond.

"With a beautiful wife by my side, what more could a husband ask for?" Xiao Yi looked at his wife with a bright smile, then gently touched her pregnant belly.

Lin Qinghuan laughed happily, then looked at Chuxia, "Just take a break for a while, there's no need to be so particular when you go out."

"I will go to the carriage behind to accompany Xi Gu... the grown-up girl later." Chu Xia said stutteringly.

"I'm only bringing you with me this time, so you're going to have a hard time."

Lin Qinghuan looked at her little girl with some heartache, blaming the man next to her. He was unwilling to keep Yun Xiang any longer and even refused to let Liu Xi's personal maid take her with her.

"It's Chuxia's duty to serve the master. Miss, have some tea." The little girl handed the brewed tea to Lin Qinghuan, then picked up another cup and handed it respectfully to Xiao Yi.

"Bring a thicker blanket over. It's spring in Jinhan, but it's still winter in the north." Xiao Yi said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Xia said and knocked on the carriage window, asking Da Yuan to stop.

"I'm not cold yet, why bother to get a blanket?"

Lin Qinghuan said in surprise, then she saw her husband's face and knew that he was disgusted by outsiders disturbing their private time.

"Miss, cover yourself up. Chuxia will go to the carriage behind to make medicine for the eldest lady." Chuxia covered Lin Qinghuan with a quilt and got off the carriage tactfully.

"Chuxia is the most discerning person now. My husband, you are really capable." Lin Qinghuan complained mercilessly, and the carriage continued to move slowly.

"This girl is quite smart. You can find a good family for her in the future. Dayuan is a good choice." Xiao Yi handed the scroll in his hand to Lin Qinghuan to take a look.

"Chuxia is already engaged, so Dayuan should look for another girl. However, my husband, it's time for you to find a husband for Dayuan." Lin Qinghuan said as he looked at the mark.

"You look like a mistress now." Xiao Yi said while pinching Lin Qinghuan's little face.

Lin Qinghuan was about to speak with a smile when the carriage suddenly stopped again.

"Young Master..." Da Yuan shouted outside.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Xiao Yi asked.

"There's a carriage blocking the road ahead. It seems to be from the palace." Da Yuan replied.

"I'll go down and take a look. You wait in the carriage." Xiao Yi patted Lin Qinghuan's hand, then opened the back door of the carriage and got out.

Lin Qinghuan curiously lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out, and saw the Sixth Prince Ning Sijue getting off the carriage. He said a few words to Xiao Yi in front of the carriage, and then saw Xiao Yi's face change slightly. After a while, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Tao Baiwan happily jumped off the carriage, happily stepped forward to hold Xiao Yi's arm, Xiao Yi hurriedly pulled it away, and looked back at the direction of Lin Qinghuan's carriage.

"Hmph, are you planning to send your lover thousands of miles away?" Lin Qinghuan said unhappily. Da Yuan heard it from outside and his expression changed slightly.

Lin Qinghuan angrily lowered the carriage curtain.

The carriage team started moving slowly again. Lin Qinghuan looked at the two uninvited guests sitting in front of him and Xiao Yi.

"Wanwan was worried that my sister-in-law would be too lonely along the way, so my uncle the emperor asked me to keep you company." Tao Baiwan looked at Lin Qinghuan and said with a smile.

Lin Qinghuan lowered his head and didn't respond to her.

"If you feel sleepy, just lean on my shoulder for a while." Xiao Yi said while holding Lin Qinghuan's hand.

"I'm not feeling well. Let me go to Xier's carriage." Lin Qinghuan said while suppressing his unhappiness.

"Then I'll go with my sister-in-law, so that Brother Yi and Sixth Brother can discuss business matters more conveniently." Tao Baiwan quickly responded.

Lin Qinghuan looked up speechlessly at the woman who was very at odds with her, then glanced at her husband and Ning Sijue, and smiled.

"I'm not feeling well right now, so please support me, Princess." Lin Qinghuan stretched out her delicate and slender wrist towards Tao Baiwan and looked at the woman in front of her provocatively.

Tao Baiwan met Lin Qinghuan's smug look, then smiled slightly.

"It's not a big deal. Since she's my sister-in-law, it's not too much for me to help her."

After the Yuan Dynasty carriage stopped, Xiao Yi got off first. Tao Baiwan reached out to ask him for help, but saw that his eyes were looking at Lin Qinghuan behind him. She awkwardly got off by holding the carriage door and stepping on the stool. Xiao Yi then reached out to help Lin Qinghuan get off the carriage.

"I'll take you there." Xiao Yi said gently again.

"Don't worry, my husband is discussing political affairs with the Sixth Prince. Sister Wanwan will just support me." Lin Qinghuan put on a gentle and understanding look, smiled slightly and said, then looked at Tao Baiwan.

"Brother Yi, leave my sister-in-law to me." Tao Baiwan glanced at Xiao Yi and said coquettishly, then stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qinghuan's arm, then let go, changed to a supporting posture, and the two walked towards the carriage behind.

Chuxia ran over in a hurry, but saw Lin Qinghuan shaking his head slightly at her. Liuxi was standing beside the carriage, looking at the women walking towards her in confusion.

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?" After getting into the carriage and sitting down, Liu Xi reached out and felt Lin Qinghuan's pulse.

"It's a bit disgusting." Lin Qinghuan said word by word.

Liu Xi looked at the expression on Lin Qinghuan's face, and then glanced at Tao Baiwan who was about to pour tea for her.

"Sister-in-law, eat a plum to calm your nerves. Don't let a momentary discomfort ruin your playful mood." Liu Xi gently picked up a sour plum and put it into Lin Qinghuan's mouth.

"I forgot to congratulate Miss Xiao on her good fortune." Tao Baiwan said, looking at Liu Xi with contempt while holding the cup.

"Thank you, Princess Chang." Liu Xi's expression changed slightly, and then he nodded gently.

"Xier..." Before Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, Tao Baiwan looked up at her.

"Xier? Isn't your name Xiao...Xiao Qianwen? I still remember that's what Brother Yi said when he introduced you ten years ago." Tao Baiwan said.

"My lord, Xier is my nickname." Liu Xi said in a low voice.

"Since it's a nickname, outsiders naturally don't know it." Lin Qinghuan said unhappily, half leaning on Chuxia's shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, is it a bit early for you to define whether he is an outsider or a family member?" Tao Baiwan said to Lin Qinghuan with an innocent look on his face.

"We in the Xiao family do have a younger brother who is unmarried, but he is a little older than the eldest princess, so it is a bit inappropriate." Lin Qinghuan said without showing any weakness.

"Sister-in-law is a smart person, and her joke is indeed quite amusing. We in Dasheng have always distinguished between wives and concubines, but if they are co-wives, we can call each other sisters. I am the same age as you, but I am a month older than you. Perhaps we can exchange the names in the future."

Tao Baiwan said this in a joking tone.

"Equal wife, haha, interesting. The eldest princess's ability may be enough to fight for me, and I can do something interesting in the future." Lin Qinghuan looked at the woman in front of him who looked determined and spoke arrogantly, so he opened his eyes and looked at her straight in the eye and said.

"Then we'll see." Tao Baiwan said with a smile on his face as he looked at the person in front of him with a peerless beauty.

It was as if a raging fire had burned in this small carriage, and a hot and uneasy feeling filled Liuxi and Chuxia, who were standing beside them, so they dared not say a word.
