Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

As usual, Yin Yin, Yu Miaoqi, and Zhan Zheng went to the estate in advance to make arrangements.

The next day, the Fourth Princess and the Tenth Princess arrived together in the same carriage, which was quite unusual, while the Sixth Prince sat alone in another carriage in the back.

As soon as the Fourth Princess got out of the carriage, she saw the mountains not far away: "It was worth thinking about it for so long. The flowers are in full bloom now. It's really beautiful."

"Then you can have a good time, Fourth Sister," the Tenth Princess said. Although she also liked the beautiful scenery in front of her, she had something else to ask. "Yinyin, how did you make the plum blossom fragrance you sent before? It smells different from the fragrances we already have."

Yinyin's plum blossom fragrance, which she had prepared for the plum blossom appreciation banquet, was successfully opened after a sufficient period of time.

However, since the banquet could not be held, she had so many incense sticks left unused, which would only take up space. So she divided them up and entrusted Zhan Zheng to give them to the Fourth Princess and the Tenth Princess as an apology.

Upon hearing the Tenth Princess mention this, the Fourth Princess also approached curiously, as she was also interested in it.

"It's an old recipe I stumbled upon in a book. Originally, it was written along with this incense, and there was also a method for making plum blossom makeup. Unfortunately, it's past the season now, so I'll have to wait until next year to make plum blossom makeup."

As she spoke, Yin Yin briefly mentioned the ingredients in the recipe and promised to copy the recipe again and send it to them later.

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess and the Tenth Princess were both pleased and somewhat disappointed. They had the recipe for the plum blossom fragrance, but the plum blossom makeup that Yin Yin had specifically mentioned was bound to be a new look they had never seen before, and now they could not see it.

"That's easy," the Fourth Princess said. "After we've played for a while, we can wash our faces and redo our makeup. Didn't Tenth Sister say she was going to your hot spring estate later?"

"Fourth Sister is right. We're not going out. We can just close the door and draw for fun. What's wrong with that?" The Tenth Princess said, then asked, "Is it just you and Lord Zhan at the estate today, Yinyin?"

Yinyin shook her head: "My mother is here too, but she was worried that she would spoil our fun, so she is in the courtyard arranging lunch and didn't come with me to welcome the Fourth Princess and Tenth Sister."

Both princesses said, "We're not traveling with a grand procession, so there's no need for Madam Zhan, as an elder, to come out and greet us."

Having set up a procession signifies their status as princesses. Now that they've accepted the invitation, they're traveling light, treating it as a friendly gathering. They don't intend to put on airs. With Yu Miaoqi absent, they're even more relaxed and don't feel obligated to have anyone come out to pay their respects.

Having said that, the Fourth Princess also keenly noticed the difference in how Yin Yin addressed the Tenth Princess, and asked in a joking tone, "Am I not worthy of being called Fourth Sister by you, Yin Yin? Why do you only call Tenth Sister and Tenth Sister, but call me Fourth Princess?"

“Of course it’s because I’m close to Yin Yin that she calls me that,” the Tenth Princess immediately defended Yin Yin. “Fourth Sister didn’t say before that Yin Yin could call you that, so of course she can only call you Fourth Princess.”

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess looked expectant: "Then I'll consider myself to have another little sister. Yin Yin, from now on, you can call me Fourth Sister, okay?"

Yin Yin's eyelids trembled, and she put on a well-behaved expression, calling out, "Fourth Sister."

The fourth princess felt comfortable listening to this and didn't say anything more. She asked, "Where shall we start our fun today? Shall we go straight to where the peach blossoms are in full bloom?"

“Fourth Sister wants to see the flowers first, so let’s go straight there,” Yin Yin said, glancing back at Zhan Zheng and the Sixth Prince, who hadn’t said much, as if asking a question.

Zhan Zheng and the Sixth Prince naturally had no objections to this; they would make all the decisions.

Without needing to consider the opinions of these two, the three girls headed together towards the place where the peach blossoms were in full bloom. There happened to be a pavilion there where they could rest and have tea.

As for the sixth prince, who lagged behind, Zhan Zheng left him in another pavilion not far away to admire the flowers.

Even though the Sixth Prince was unwilling, he had no choice but to sit opposite Zhan Zheng at this moment.

Indeed, Zhan Zheng even led the Sixth Prince to sit down in a spot with his back to Yin Yin and the others. Apart from the occasional bursts of laughter from Yin Yin and the others carried by the breeze, the Sixth Prince could only face Zhan Zheng's handsome face and the vast mountain scenery.

The Tenth Princess was not unaware of the Sixth Prince's request for help, but she was too busy having fun to play matchmaker for him and Yin Yin.

So much time has passed, and he hasn't made Yin Yin treat him any differently, which shows that he's incompetent, so it's not her fault.

The tenth princess easily convinced herself and happily played with Yin Yin and the others again.

The three of them originally planned to sit for a while and then leave, but after sitting down, they started chatting while still smelling the plum blossoms and wearing plum blossom makeup. They also talked about the various uses of peach blossoms. They were so happy that they didn't plan to go anywhere else. Instead, they asked someone to bring a small basket, intending to pick some peach blossoms themselves to take back and use for cooking, following the recipe that Yin Yin had found.

After sitting idly for half the morning, the Sixth Prince and Zhan Zheng finally found an opportunity and stood up, saying, "I'll go help."

Seeing the Sixth Prince leave in a hurry, Zhan Zheng put down his teacup on the table and followed him.

However, at this moment, the Tenth Princess finally regained her conscience and helped the Sixth Prince: "Lord Zhan, this flower branch is too high. Could you please help me pull it down a bit?"

The Fourth Princess's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood what was going on. Although she didn't intend to get involved, she still said, "I would also like to pick some flowers from higher up. I'd appreciate it if you could help me, Lord Zhan."

Zhan Zheng was tripped up by the two princesses, and the Sixth Prince breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Pan, would you like me to help you hold onto Huazhi?"

Yinyin glanced at him before asking, "Why doesn't the Sixth Prince go and help Fourth Sister and Tenth Sister?"

"I..." The Sixth Prince was racking his brains for a suitable reason, but when he looked up and met Yin Yin's clear eyes, everything he had thought of got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

In the end, he could only lower his head and ask, "Can I call you Yinyin like they do?"

Yin Yin's pupils dilated slightly, clearly not expecting him to ask such a question.

Based on the information Zhan Zheng casually revealed to her, combined with what she already knew, the Sixth Prince was clearly a clever, resourceful, and cunning person. His usual dullness and dislike of reading were mostly a facade.

But right now, in Yin Yin's sight, he was nervously clutching the flower branch in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

Yinyin looked at it for a long time but couldn't find any flaws. In the end, she could only look away and politely refuse, "This is not appropriate."

“Something’s not quite right,” the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but want to take a step forward, but fortunately the crisp sound of a branch breaking under his foot brought him back to his senses. “How about we change it together? I’ll call you Yinyin, and you can call me Sixth Brother.”
