The letter is short but contains many words, and it is about Xu Junjun.

He wrote two or three pages in a fluent manner until his wrists became weak. Only after making sure that there was nothing more to add did Xu Junjun fold the letter paper and put it in an envelope.

I will go to the palace to accompany the little emperor tomorrow. If I leave the palace early, I will give this letter to Chen Yu and ask him to send someone to return it to the Great Sage.

After making her plans, Xu Junjun went to bed contentedly, blew out the candle in the room, and covered herself with a quilt to sleep.

The night faded away and a pale sky appeared from the horizon.

Before daybreak, Wei Dong had already prepared his horse and was about to go to the courtyard to report when he ran into a very different master.

On the surface, the master looked the same as usual, but Wei Dong, who was rough on the outside but delicate on the inside, was able to keenly notice his changes.

The corners of the master's lips have been slightly upturned today, his amber eyes have been filled with a hint of tenderness, and even his walking movements are relaxed and comfortable, which is different from the past.

The master fell in love.

Weidong nodded vigorously.

Miss Xu is truly no ordinary person. She can make the master, who always has a cold face and an even colder heart, show such an expression. She is truly a role model for us.

With this thought in mind, Wei Dong took a few steps forward, bowed and said:

"Master, the horses are ready and can set off at any time."

Jun Xiaochen stepped out of the room and passed by him.

Not hearing a response, Wei Dong straightened up and was about to follow as usual, but he heard his master's voice coming from the front:

"No riding today, prepare the carriage."

Wei Dong was stunned, but quickly bent down and lowered his head in response.

When he walked out of the yard and saw his master calmly going to the next yard to pick someone up, Wei Dong finally reacted, smiled secretly, and hurried downstairs to make arrangements.

Xu Junjun slept too late last night and was woken up by the maid. After putting on her clothes and sitting in front of the dressing table, she still felt a little dizzy.

"Miss Xu, the kitchen sent over some porridge and side dishes. Would you like to help yourself?"

The maid combed Xu Junjun's long hair, inserted a hairpin into her hair, and asked in a low voice.

Xu Junjun didn't get enough sleep and had no appetite.

"I don't want to eat today. You can share it later."

Xu Junjun never put on airs in front of the servants. After she had finished her work, she stood up, twisted her neck a few times, yawned twice, and prepared to go out.

When Jun Xiaochen entered the room, he saw her sleepy look, curled his lips, and walked forward to hold her hand:

"Not awake?"

Jun Xiaochen's palms were so hot that Xu Junjun woke up from her sleepiness.

She pulled her hand away uncomfortably, but it didn't move. Xu Junjun simply let him go and nodded honestly:

“I went to bed too late and couldn’t get up.

Come on, take some sleep in your carriage."

Before she started talking, Xu Junjun felt a little awkward last night facing Jun Xiaochen who was pressing her step by step.

Now that everything has been agreed upon, Xu Junjun is no longer shy.

Unable to pull her hand away, she simply gave up and took the lead to step forward. Seeing that Jun Xiaochen didn't move, she took the initiative to interlock her fingers with his, pulled him hard, and motioned him to follow.

Jun Xiaochen's eyes moved slightly. As he took a step forward, he lowered his eyes to look at the two people's intertwined fingertips. The woman's tender white hands seemed to be glowing in the candlelight. The bright white light broke through the darkness and shone straight into his heart.

Weidong prepared the carriage and waited at the gate of the mansion. When he saw his master and Miss Xu coming out hand in hand, his eyes widened immediately.

The other guards at the gate of the mansion had the same reaction as him.

Seeing the intimacy between their master and Miss Xu, they all showed an expression of disbelief.

Most of the personal guards present had been through thick and thin with Jun Xiaochen, and were very clear about the inside story between their master and Miss Xu.

Although they had been together for such a long time, the guards had discovered that their master had a very special feeling for Miss Xu, but the way they held hands so openly and boldly announced their relationship still made everyone in the palace very surprised.

The guards were all excited, and so was Weidong.

After waiting day and night, the lady of the palace finally arrived. It would be a lie to say that I am not happy.

The only ones who were as excited as him, apart from his personal guards, was the old housekeeper of the palace who was hiding behind the door, peeking over here and wiping his tears.

Looking at the tightly held hands of his own prince and Miss Xu, the old housekeeper of the palace felt deeply comforted. He thought that even if he died now, he would still have the face to see the old prince and the others.

As they walked along, Xu Junjun felt that the looks the servants in the palace gave her and Jun Xiaochen today seemed very excited.

Arriving at the palace gate, Xu Junjun saw Wei Dong, who looked very happy beside the carriage. She looked at Jun Xiaochen in confusion and asked quietly:

"Did you raise the wages of the people in the mansion yesterday?"

Otherwise, why did these people in the palace look at him as if they had seen a living Buddha, with all their faces glowing red?

Xu Junjun's puzzled look made Jun Xiaochen laugh. Why didn't he realize before that the person in front of him could also be so silly sometimes? It was really cute.

Leaning towards Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen also imitated her and whispered:

"I'll leave the matter of raising wages to you, the mistress of the palace.

Today, they are happy because the palace finally has a mistress."

Xu Junjun was stunned, and her first reaction was that Jun Xiaochen was teasing her.

But when she straightened up and looked around, Xu Junjun realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her and Jun Xiaochen's clasped hands.

Xu Junjun: ...

Why did she suddenly feel like she was in love in front of the whole world?

Jun Xiaochen's relationship is really "attracting a lot of attention".

The guards' gazes seemed to have substance, each one of them was filled with curiosity, as if they wanted to stare a hole through the two people's holding hands.

But who is Xu Junjun? She has a thick skin inherited from her ancestors.

After a second of shame, Xu Junjun immediately regained her energy, strode down the stone steps, and deliberately waved her hands intertwined with Jun Xiaochen's in front of everyone.

In love.

Just spreading sugar.

Let everyone see it openly.

Jun Xiaochen looked at her indulgently and followed her towards the carriage. He didn't let go of her hand until Xu Junjun bent down to get into the carriage. He then glanced at the guards standing around.

His glance contained a hint of pressure, and the guards who were swept by him immediately lowered their heads with an expression of utmost respect.

The carriage was filled with Xu Junjun's favorite dried fruit snacks. As soon as she came in, she started eating as usual. When she saw Jun Xiaochen coming in, she stuffed a snack into his mouth as well.

The pastry Weidong prepared today is Yuxu Cake, which has a hint of sweetness and melts in your mouth. It tastes sweet and not greasy.

Jun Xiaochen tasted half of it. Although it was not his favorite flavor, seeing that Xu Junjun liked it, he finished the remaining half and picked up the pot to pour tea.

After eating the pastries, Xu Junjun drank two cups of scented tea, then rested her head on Jun Xiaochen's thigh and had a good sleep.

After entering the palace, Xu Junjun was still waiting in the same place. Two hours later, two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the door of the palace.

Then, a sound of surprise came.

"Sister Xu, you finally came to see me."

The little emperor rushed into the hall, hugged Xu Junjun's waist and acted coquettishly. Jun Xiaochen, who had just entered the hall, stared at his hand around Xu Junjun's waist, and his brows furrowed instantly.
