Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Zhou Jicheng has been showing up at Duke Dingguo's Mansion on time every morning recently.

At first, Zhou Chenli politely came out to socialize with him for a few words, but later Zhou Chenli directly told the servant: "If the Sixth Prince comes, there is no need to notify me. Just go to the backyard and find Xu Miao to accompany him."

"I don't have the heart to chat with him. I'm busy."

When Xu Miao saw Zhou Jicheng, he also asked, "Sixth Prince, are you free?"

Zhou Jicheng scratched his head embarrassedly: "Xu Miao, I'm really free. Father and mother are busy preparing for grandmother's birthday in the palace."

"The prince doesn't like me either." Speaking of the prince, Zhou Jicheng felt even more sad. Is power more important than family affection?

Perhaps he had seen too many deaths and lives in the northern border, and felt that the health and safety of his family was the most important thing in the world.

"If there's anyone in the capital who can still be considered my friend, it's you, Xu Miao."

A few days ago, his father asked a few noble sons to accompany him to play in the capital, but the scene was so embarrassing that Zhou Jicheng was scratching his head against the wall.

He and these noblemen simply couldn't see eye to eye; they were talking at cross purposes and saying different things.

He originally wanted to spend more time with the Queen Mother, but every time she saw him, she urged him to get married. Recently, she brought several delicate young girls to live in the Queen Mother's palace.

On the surface, those girls were very respectful to him, but behind their backs they all hinted that they didn't want to leave the capital.

Zhou Jicheng felt that it would be more comfortable to ask Xu Miao to play with him. After all, they were friends, and Xu Miao was not shy.

Xu Miao...But I am also very busy. I am busy accompanying the madam, the young lady, A Yuan, and my daughter. The most important thing is that she also needs to sort out her money.

A few days ago, Duke Dingguo and his wife held a small recognition ceremony for Xu Miao at home.

He called the closest relatives in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. After the recognition ceremony, Xu Miao called his godfather, godmother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and received a handful of red envelopes.

Everyone in the Dingguo Mansion spontaneously gave Xu Miao banknotes, which made Xu Miao very happy. When he was out and about, he had money in his hands, so he didn't have to worry.

She didn't know what kind of situation she would encounter when she arrived in the northern border, but having money in hand was her greatest confidence.

As for Xu Jingyi's nonsense about the fact that there was no money to spend in Northern Xinjiang, Xu Miao didn't believe it.

Later, Xu Miao called Zhou Jiyuan over and said, "Ah Yuan, can you accompany the Sixth Prince to play on the sandbox in the backyard martial arts training ground?"

The Imperial College was on holiday recently, and Zhou Jiyuan happened to be at home with nothing to do, feeling itchy all over.

Xu Miao felt that Zhou Jiyuan and the Sixth Prince could play together. One of them was a general who led troops to fight, and the other was a passionate young man who was determined to serve his country.

Going to the backyard martial arts training ground is a good way to kill some of their time.

So, Zhou Jiyuan and the Sixth Prince started their day of fighting and killing on the sand table in the martial arts training ground in the backyard.

Zhou Jicheng seemed to have found a new toy. He loved this sandbox very much and kept asking Xu Miao to make one for him to play with when they arrived in Northern Xinjiang.

After Xu Miao finished recognizing his relatives at the Duke Dingguo Mansion, he told his wife that he wanted to move out of the Mansion and live in the small courtyard near the Xu Mansion to accompany his mother.

All good things must come to an end. Since he has decided to leave, Xu Miao doesn't want to drag it out.

However, the Duke Dingguo and his wife did not tell Zhou Jiyuan too much about Xu Miao's trip to the northern border.

Zhou Jiyuan thought Xu Miao just wanted to go to the northern border to relax. After all, Sister Xu had never left the capital, unlike him who followed Zhou Chenli to the southern border for a trip.

After Xu Miao packed his luggage, he went to his wife's room, hugged her and cried bitterly, then picked up the plump lady who looked like a delicate piece of jade and kissed her several times.

She cried, "Madam, please don't let the young lady get married. Find her the most honest son-in-law and let her stay by your side every day."

The lady also cried out: "Don't worry, A'miao, the Duke and I have already discussed it. We will never let Tangtang leave the Duke Ding's mansion."

When Xu Miao came out of the lady's courtyard with red eyes and returned to Zhou Jiyuan's backyard, she saw two old sisters, Yang Pozi and Han Pozi, each holding a package waiting for Xu Miao.

"A Miao, good girl. This is an inner garment made by Mother Yang herself. Mother Yang made several sets for you. You can wear them in Northern Xinjiang."

"I wanted to make you some new outerwear, but I wasn't sure if you could wear it in Northern Xinjiang, so I decided to make you some innerwear. Ah Miao, please don't despise me. Mother Yang doesn't have any other skills, but she's good at making innerwear."

Mrs. Yang wiped her tears and chatted with Xu Miao.

When Mrs. Yang had almost finished crying, Mrs. Han walked over to Xu Miao and handed her a package.

"Ah Miao, open it and take a look. Mother Han prepared this especially for you."

Xu Miao took the package in confusion. The package was not big, but it felt quite heavy in his hand.

Xu Miao opened the package with his hands, and inside lay a sharp little axe.

The axe head gleamed coldly in the sunlight. A thin red thread was wrapped around the handle, and a small axe weight hung at the bottom.

You can tell at first glance that it's something that was made with great care.

Granny Han pointed at the small axe and said to Xu Miao, "I thought you wouldn't have a handy tool when you went to the Northern Frontier, so I made this for you out of fine steel."

"Don't underestimate this axe because it's small. It's very powerful and easier to use than a sword. Ah Miao, why don't you try it?"

This gift surprised Xu Miao so much that he quickly picked up the small axe, walked two or three steps away from Yang Pozi and Han Pozi, and started dancing with the axe in his hand.

Xu Miao danced for a while and felt that this small axe was exactly what she wanted. It was sharp and easy to carry, and most importantly, it was definitely a deadly weapon.

Xu Miao put away his axe and tucked it into his waist. He bowed deeply to Mrs. Han and Mrs. Yang, "Thank you for the gifts you two gave me. I like them all. I will be away for a long time. I hope you two take good care of yourself. I will come back to the Duke's Mansion to visit you if I have the chance."

While wiping her tears, Mrs. Yang complained to Mrs. Han: "You old thing, why did you give A Miao an axe? A Miao is going to the northern border to enjoy life, not to chop wood."

Mrs. Han just smiled and said nothing, without explaining much to Xu Miao and Mrs. Yang.

At Zhou Jiyuan's place, Xu Miao told him last night that he wanted to move out of the house and live in a small courtyard.

Xu Miao held Zhou Jiyuan in his arms and hugged him tightly for a few times. Zhou Jiyuan had grown taller in recent years and was almost as tall as Xu Miao.

Xu Miao let go of Zhou Jiyuan and said with red eyes: "A Yuan, wait for your sister to come back, eat well, listen to the lady and the Duke, and don't hang out with bad friends."

Zhou Jiyuan looked at Xu Miao helplessly: "Sister, you've been with my mother for a long time, and you've become as tearful as her. Don't worry, I know everything."

"I'm going out of town with Sixth Brother to go horse racing tomorrow morning. Besides, won't you be back soon?"

"It feels like a life-or-death separation. It's so painful to cry like that."

As for Zhou Chenli, Xu Miao didn't think about saying goodbye. She felt there was no need.

Recently, Zhou Chenli was sent by the emperor to receive the envoys who came to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday. Zhou Chenli was busy with the housekeeper Qian.

When Xu Miao took Chun'er out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Xu Miao felt sad but also somewhat excited.

She was finally running towards freedom.
