In the next few days, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun hurried on their journey. Knowing that Jiang Wumei was eager to return home, Xu Junjun also silently sped up.

As the eighth day of the appointment approached, Xu Junjun became more and more reluctant to leave. No matter how Jiang Wumei talked to her or teased her, she did not smile.

Jiang Wumei understood why Xu Junjun was feeling awkward, but they were now too far away from the Tianqi Imperial Capital, and it would take Xu Junjun more than ten days to return, so she would not allow her to see her off.

That night, the group settled in the next city. Chen Yu released the carrier pigeon and walked out of the room to arrange the night patrol.

Meeting Wei Dong and others downstairs, Chen Yu nodded to Wei Dong and continued walking forward.

Wei Dong had just ordered the shopkeeper to deliver dinner for his princess and the imperial concubine, and was now having dinner with his brothers.

It is Chen Yu's men's turn to patrol tonight, but Weidong still plans to select half of his brothers to patrol at night.

The two people upstairs are both wealthy and noble ladies, and no mistakes can be made.

After eating and drinking, Wei Dong assigned tasks, letting the brothers who were on guard last night go to sleep, and ordered another group of people to patrol with him tonight.

It was already dark. Today Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun settled in a larger city.

As the lights come on, people can be seen strolling with their families everywhere on the long street.

After Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei finished their dinner, the waiter took away the dishes, and Qingzhi prepared clean clothes for them to wash later.

There was a lot of noise downstairs. Xu Junjun leaned against the window, looking at the long street with bright lights below the inn. Suddenly, she became interested:

"Niao Niao, shall we go downstairs for a walk?

I heard from Weidong that these days are the Flower Festival, which is unique to Tianqi, and all the towns and cities are celebrating the festival by displaying flowers.

I just looked and saw that in addition to lantern riddles and other things, there were also people performing acrobatics on the streets tonight.

We have never seen any circus here before, shall we go and broaden our horizons later?"

Jiang Wumei admires Xu Junjun's energy:

"Aren't you tired from traveling so much these days?

You're leaving for the Imperial Capital tomorrow, so why don't you join in the fun tonight?"

Jiang Wumei was not in a bad mood, she was just tired from the bumpy journey and needed rest.

Xu Junjun was full of energy, with big, round eyes, and shook her head excitedly:

“I’m not tired.

Niaoniao, we will be separated tomorrow, let’s go shopping together tonight.

I'll take a look at the street to see if there are any new and interesting gadgets and buy some for the little one.

Otherwise, next time we meet, the kid won’t even recognize me as his godmother.”

Jiang Wumei laughed:

“An’er is so young, no matter how many things you buy now, he won’t remember them for long.

Feelings are cultivated, not given as gifts. Even if you don't buy anything this time, when you meet him in the future and spend a day with him, he will still be close to you.

Children are the most sensitive to emotions. As long as you treat them well, they will be able to sense it."

Xu Junjun blinked her eyes:

“Having said that, I want to buy it for the kid.

Let's go, Niao Niao, let's go downstairs and take a walk. We won't be around for too long, we'll be back in half an hour."

Xu Junjun also felt sore all over, but she felt bad when she thought that they would go their separate ways early tomorrow morning.

When I got here, I happened to encounter the Flower Festival, so I wanted to have some fun with my good sisters one last time.

Xu Junjun's eyes were clear and pleading with a hint of coquettishness. Jiang Wumei couldn't do anything about her and sighed:

“I’m scared of you.

Then let’s change into men’s clothes and go down.”

Xu Junjun nodded excitedly and immediately asked Qingzhi to find two sets of men's clothes.

Qingzhi smiled and nodded, took out two sets of men's clothes from the luggage, asked Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun to change into them, and asked Qingzhi to change as well. The three of them walked side by side, like some noble young man traveling.

Wei Dong and Zhao Yu booked the entire inn. There was no one else in the inn except their personal guards, Qilin guards, the innkeeper, the waiters and the cook.

Seeing the two noble masters changed into men's clothes and came downstairs, Wei Dong and Chen Yu stood up to greet them.

"princess."

"Miss."

The two of them called each other "Master". Jiang Wumei nodded slightly. Xu Junjun's eyes lit up and she happily announced:

"These days are the annual Flower Festival of Tianqi.

Everyone has been traveling hard lately, let's go out and have some fun together tonight."

Wei Dong's scalp instantly went numb when Xu Junjun said this. He wanted to stop her, but he couldn't speak because of his status.

Wei Dong looked at Chen Yu as if asking for help, signaling Chen Yu to speak quickly.

There are many people at the Flower Festival, and if something happens to the princess, he won't be able to bear the consequences.

Wei Dong winked at Chen Yu secretly, but Chen Yu seemed not to notice and went straight forward to salute Jiang Wumei:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange for the Qilin Guard to follow you.

You and Princess Yuhe can rest assured."

When Chen Yu said this, Wei Dong rolled his eyes to the sky.

This bastard is actually a conspicuous person.

With the capabilities of his Qilin Guard, are the personal guards he brings with him just there to eat and do nothing?!

In order not to embarrass his master, Wei Dong immediately expressed his stance:

"Princess and Imperial Noble Consort, please enjoy yourselves without worries. Your subordinates and personal guards will accompany you to protect you and will not allow anyone to disturb your pleasure."

Jiang Wumei glanced at Chen Yu, then shifted her gaze to Wei Dong's face, seeing through it but not saying anything:

"Thank you all for your hard work tonight."

While Jiang Wumei was talking to the two of them, Xu Junjun couldn't wait any longer. She reached out and pulled Jiang Wumei and ran out. At the end, she turned around and waved to Qingzhi behind her, signaling her to hurry up and follow.

Qingzhi nodded and greeted Chen Yu and Weidong, then immediately quickened his pace to catch up with the two people in front.

Chen Yu and Wei Dong had nothing to say. They looked at each other and went to arrange their personnel.

The Tianqi Flower Festival was indeed lively, with lanterns hung high in the streets and dense lights illuminating the entire long street, making it bright and bustling.

The street vendors selling flowers, animal lanterns, and various small accessories were shouting enthusiastically. Xu Junjun dragged Jiang Wumei along as they passed by the lantern riddles and arched her nose with a look of disdain:

"This isn't fun, it's too literary. Let's go to the sideshow up front.

I was just watching someone perform a chest-breaking rock trick at the inn. I'll go and touch the rock to see what it is.

Jiang Wumei had no objection. The two of them walked through the surging and bustling crowd and took Qingzhi to the front of the circus to watch the fun.

The sledgehammer hit the boulder with a loud bang, and the ears were filled with the excited screams of children. Xu Junjun was in high spirits, and happily pulled Jiang Wumei to continue squeezing in, wanting to get a closer look.

There were too many people inside, tall and short, fat and thin, male and female, old and young. Qingzhi cried out and tried to stop them, but Xu Junjun moved too quickly and disappeared in the crowd in an instant, pulling people with him. Qingzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and squeeze in.

Chen Yu and Wei Dong followed silently with their men, keeping their eyes and ears open, creating a safe distance for Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei to prevent anyone from offending them.

After breaking the big stone, the jugglers started to spit fire, spray paint, swallow swords, catch flaming swords, and pass through rollers. They performed with all their might, and the people watching around them exclaimed and applauded with great enthusiasm.

Xu Junjun was dazzled and her hands were clapping red. Jiang Wumei also became interested and clapped and laughed along with Xu Junjun. Qingzhi had never seen acrobatics before, and followed Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei's lead, and also laughed and clapped excitedly.

Chen Yu and Wei Dong stood in the crowd, with no intention of watching the performance at all. They were always alert to the danger around them.

The long street was bustling with activity, and at this moment, several men in black suddenly appeared under the blossoming tree outside the inn. They carefully looked around, making sure that the Qilin Guards and the personal guards patrolling outside the inn had not noticed them, then they tiptoed up the trunk of the blossoming tree and quickly hid themselves.
