The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Changchuan returned to Xianyang City. Now, he was dressed in full armor, looking heroic and dashing. Compared to his dark-skinned companions, he stood out from the crowd, his white skin almost glowing.

As soon as they entered the city gate, Yuan Ge appeared: "Captain, Lord Danyang is looking for you."

Bai Changchuan's lips tightened into a thin line: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go once the soldiers are arranged."

Yuan Ge smiled slightly and waved her hand. Then, many women appeared. They were all relatives of the group in Xianyang. One by one, they pulled away their sons, husbands, and close friends, leaving Bai Changchuan alone in no time.

Bai Changchuan's hand, gripping the long spear, bulged with veins, but he still obediently dismounted and awaited instructions.

Yuan Ge provided a one-stop service, and Bai Changchuan quickly transformed from a dashing captain into a delicate and fragile parasitic flower.

When Bai Changchuan saw Ying Ji, he had already composed himself, and with a smile, he bowed and said, "This humble servant greets the Lord of Danyang."

Ying Ji, who was reading the memorial, slightly raised her eyes. Her face was still stunningly beautiful, but she now exuded an air of authority. Her gaze swept over the bowing man, her flirtatious eyes lingering on his body, causing the man to tense up.

The man's physique is a bit more muscular than before; I wonder if he's developed abs after a few months.

After a moment of wild speculation, Ying Ji took the man back to Yongning Palace and immediately ordered them to depart the next day.

Upon returning to the palace, he naturally saw Xiao Fusu and heard his aunt say that he would be leaving the next day.

He clung tightly to Ying Ji's leg, acting coquettishly, and said he wanted to go too.

Yingji didn't want to take the child out and kept refusing.

The little guy got so angry he ran off to his parents, but Ying Zheng refused. In the end, he was dejected and was comforted by Lady Xia.

Madam Xia hugged the little one: "It's dangerous outside. It's because your aunt cares about you that she's not taking you with her."

Fusu said angrily, "But Auntie brought so many people, but not me." Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.

Madam Xia quickly comforted her, "The Princess won't be gone for long. She's just going out on business. Fusu, be good and don't let your aunt dislike you. Adults hate disobedient children the most."

Unfortunately, it didn't comfort Fusu; instead, it gave him an idea.

Pretending to be angry, she ran back to the house and took out the gold and silver box that her aunt had given her a long time ago. There was a hidden compartment inside where she could hide things.

He hid all the treasures his mother forbade him to keep here.

Touching a worn-out little wooden horse, Fusu kissed it, then climbed into the box and found it fit perfectly.

They put the candies, cookies, and drinks that they had hidden on top.

Summon a maid and have her deliver the box to Lord Danyang.

When Yingji saw the small box and opened it, she found the snacks that Fusu had hidden for a long time. Her eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Fusu is such a lovely child. I just don't know if he will come to see me off tomorrow morning."

Yuan Ge had the box placed on Ying Ji's carriage and then tenderly massaged her shoulders.

"Princess, Prince Fusu likes you, so he gave you his favorite gift. He will definitely be back tomorrow morning."

Ying Ji touched the necklace Fusu wore around her neck, her heart filled with mixed emotions: "I wonder if I can change Fusu's future now that I'm here. It seems I need to start preparing him from a young age; if he has a bad temper, I'll have to discipline him strictly."

Early in the morning, Ying Zheng personally watched Ying Ji board the carriage. The woman looked around but didn't see the little boy. She sighed and said, "Ah Zheng, when you see Fusu, tell him that his aunt has brought him something fun."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, elder sister. Fusu is gentle and kind. He's probably just a child and doesn't want to leave you."

Ying Ji looked at Ying Zheng with heartache and offered him a bottle of elixir: "You can't drink it. Apply it to your face when you're tired."

Ying Zheng reached out and firmly grasped the bottle. Before he could even see what was inside, he heard his elder sister's instructions and the sound of a carriage setting off.

Once, when Ying Zheng was so exhausted from building the Zheng Guo Canal that he developed dark circles under his eyes, he used the "miracle water" once. The next day, he was radiant. His already handsome face became smooth and delicate, and even glowed with a white light. Somewhat speechless, he put the "miracle water" away.

That's all in hindsight. Right now, Ying Zheng is unaware of the effects of the elixir, and he holds the bottle while watching the departing carriages and horses.

Knowing the journey would likely be very bumpy, Ying Ji had exchanged for a lot of springs and memory foam in advance, so she could lie down and sleep comfortably in the carriage.

There was another large and amazing carriage, with four chairs with backs fixed to the carriage and not moving. The cushions were made of springs and foam to absorb shocks, and even the carriage wheels were rubber wheels that Ying Ji had exchanged for.

All the horses were fitted with horseshoes, and to mislead others, patterns were painted on the horseshoes. Sure enough, the spies from the six kingdoms did not report the abnormality of the horseshoes to their masters.

The journey was long, and Ying Ji taught Bai Changchuan, Han Fei, and Yuan Ge to play mahjong with her.

At first, Ji Ying won more, but unfortunately... she was eventually defeated by Han Fei.

Han Fei enjoyed his seat, then picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. Looking at the mahjong table, he found it quite interesting: "Eight of Wan, self-draw."

Ying Ji handed over the golden melon seeds, exclaiming with boundless pride, "Again!"

But today's luck is exceptionally bad. Yuan Ge has been passing cards since he learned the technique, but unfortunately his master has terrible luck and can't win no matter what.

Bai Changchuan maintained a very delicate balance, neither winning nor losing.

This prompted Han Fei, who was opposite him, to frequently observe the princess's only male concubine: "He's good-looking and talented, but he just doesn't seem to like the princess. That's good news."

Han Fei's gaze was appearing far too frequently, so Bai Changchuan offered a soft, harmless smile: "Young Master Han is looking at me, isn't he? Six."

Han Fei lowered his eyes and casually picked up a fan to fan himself: "Sitting face to face, all we can do is look at each other. Thirty thousand."

Bai Changchuan's expression remained unchanged: "Is that so? Young Master Han possesses a noble bearing and handsome appearance. Compared to him, I am but a humble willow. Forty thousand."

Han Fei's hand froze, and he glanced at Ying Ji, only to see the woman with her brows furrowed as she looked at the mahjong table.

After a long wait, a card finally appeared: "Thirty Thousand".

Bai Changchuan: "Bang!"

Ying Ji was speechless, looking at him as if he were an idiot: "Han Fei has also appeared, why didn't you touch him?"

Bai Changchuan maintained his sweet smile: "This concubine wishes to touch the Princess. Six."

Yuan Ge shouted, "Hu!"

Yuan Ge smiled gently at Bai Changchuan. She wasn't stupid; she knew Bai Changchuan didn't like Wang Ji. Just thinking about it made her want to drag this scoundrel out and beat him up.

Ying Ji silently watched as she was still 3 cards short of stopping... Oh well, at least she wasn't the one who caused the other to lose.

Winning a golden melon seed from Bai Changchuan improved Yuan Ge's mood considerably.

The four continued playing mahjong, but the atmosphere at the table was quite subtle, with the other three simply smiling.

Yingji finally managed to get a winning hand, but seeing these three tiles, she had a bad feeling. [Is she planning to flip the table and leave now that I've won? No, no, no, what am I thinking?]

Bai Changchuan sensed Ying Ji's emotional fluctuations but didn't want to pay attention. He had finally been promoted to captain and could freely dedicate himself to the army, but he was forcibly taken back to Xianyang to be a mere ornament. No one could accept such a drop in status.

Yuan Ge kept a close eye on the player to her left. Whatever Bai Changchuan played, she played the same card. The way she played her cards with all her might and the dangerous curve of her lips were quite creepy.

Han Fei scrutinized him with a scrutinizing gaze, seemingly lost in thought, occasionally chuckling softly—a bit...perverted.

The only one who was excited was Ying Ji, who was simply enjoying playing mahjong. However, after a single five of bamboo, three other players lost their hands... and she won three hands in one go.

The smile on her lips vanished instantly, and she angrily threw out six golden melon seeds before going out to play.

Yuan Ge followed closely behind, leaving the two of them alone in the mahjong room.
