The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

After eating the sweet and soft milk rolls, Shen Lu felt that it was the most refined and delicious food he had eaten in more than 20 years.

The carriage traveled for another quarter of an hour before arriving at the main gate of the capital. At the gate, the Imperial Guards and the Five City Garrison were on high alert, rigorously checking all passersby. Upon seeing Yin Zijin and his entourage approaching in a grand procession, two soldiers quickly stopped them, confirming they were from the Yin family.

The soldiers became respectful and quickly said politely, "So you are from the Yin family. His Highness the Crown Prince knew that Madam was coming and specially invited her to come and have a chat."

Upon hearing the soldier's words, Zhang quickly helped Granny Qi down from the carriage and said humbly, "I dare not trouble Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will take the Sixth Miss to pay my respects."

Then he instructed Granny Qi, "Go and invite the Sixth Miss to get off the carriage."

After eating her fill, Yin Zijing, still weak and injured, became drowsy again. However, her sleep was light; as soon as the carriage stopped, she was startled awake and quickly asked, "What happened? Have we arrived in Fu'an…?"

Before she could finish speaking, they heard Granny Qi's voice from outside: "Please get off the carriage, Sixth Miss, and go with Madam to pay your respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Granny Zhou quickly put a white veil on Yin Zijin and instructed her, "Miss, get off the carriage! When you see His Highness the Crown Prince, you must follow the rules and pay your respects."

After saying that, Granny Zhou helped Yin Zijin out of the carriage. After getting out of the carriage, Yin Zijin saw Shen Lu kneeling beside the carriage, acting as a stool. When he saw Yin Zijin get out of the carriage, he said in a low voice, "Please get out of the carriage, Sixth Miss."

Yin Zijing clenched the handkerchief in her hand, took Qi Mama's hand, and got off the carriage. Immediately afterward, Zhou Mama and Wang Da Niang also got off the carriage.

As she was leaving, Yin Zijing whispered, "You've worked so hard, I shouldn't have done this..."

Yin Zijin quickly came to Zhang's side, bowed, and said, "Mother."

"Let's go! Let's go see His Highness the Crown Prince. Be mindful of etiquette and manners." With that, he walked forward.

Yin Zijing was frail and injured, so Granny Zhou quickly helped her towards the temporary command post where Sheng Yixuan was. Yin Zijing wore silver nail guards on her delicate white hands, making them particularly eye-catching. Her pink, delicate ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) barely covered her small feet; influenced by years of strict discipline, Yin Zijing could only move with light, graceful steps, ensuring her feet weren't exposed.

Her slender, supple waist appeared even more graceful under the constraints of her strapless outer garment. It made one curious to see what a young lady from a wealthy family looked like. However, the white veiled hat barely obscured her view.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the temporary command post appeared in front of Yin Jin. Officials and soldiers were going in and out of the temporary command post, looking very busy.

Upon seeing Zhang and her entourage arrive, a soldier dressed as a guard stepped forward and said, "Madam, please."

Before long, Madam Zhang led Yin to a makeshift place, seemingly for entertaining guests. The guard quickly said, "Madam, please sit down and have some hot tea."

Not long after, a tall, strong, handsome young man with a noble air, dressed in a black robe with gold python patterns, his hair tied up with a gold crown, walked in.

Madam Zhang quickly pulled Yin Zijin down to kneel and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Long live the Crown Prince!"

Granny Zhou removed the veil from Yin Zijin's head, and Madam Zhang hurriedly said, "Zijin, quickly pay your respects to His Highness. Raise your head so that His Highness the Crown Prince can see you."

When Zhang learned that she was to meet the Crown Prince, she had already made a plan: to let Yin Zijin get to know His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, cultivate a relationship, and then everything would fall into place naturally.

Yin Zijing was completely bewildered, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and wanted to see what the Crown Prince, who was second only to the Emperor in the Great Sheng Dynasty, looked like. Yin Zijing had read many history books, and she knew that there were only a handful of Crown Princes who had ascended the throne in Chinese history. She wondered if this Crown Prince would eventually be able to ascend the throne.

So he complied with Zhang's request, raised his head, and looked at the Crown Prince with a probing gaze. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and a strange atmosphere immediately filled the air.

Yin Zijing couldn't help but think that, as expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheng Yixuan, who had been in a high position for a long time, had unconsciously developed an aura of domineering power without anger. That feeling of looking down on everything made Yin Zijing feel intimidated.

Looking into Yin Zijing's gentle eyes, Sheng Yixuan felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He said with a half-smile, "Please rise, Madam! Although you are young, you are very bold! In the current Great Sheng Dynasty, you are the only one who dares to look me in the eye."

Madam Zhang quickly stood up and apologized, saying, "Sixth Miss is still young, and I hope Your Highness will be more tolerant of her. Sixth Miss is in poor health, and I hope Your Highness will take good care of her in the future."

If Sheng Yixuan still didn't understand Zhang's meaning at this moment, he would be a fool. Making such a big show of letting him examine the sixth daughter clearly meant that she wanted to send the sixth daughter to the Eastern Palace in the future. Seeing that Yin Zijing was only 6 years old, Sheng Yixuan felt that she was too young, but he was also very interested in Yin Zijing. If he married Yin Zijing in the future, he would have the help of the Yin family, which would be good.

So Sheng Yixuan didn't hold back and said something ambiguous to Madam Zhang: "Madam is too kind. I have received instructions from Jingyi and Madam, and I will definitely take good care of the Sixth Miss in the future. Although the Sixth Miss is weak and young, she is a wonderful person."

Having lived in the Great Sheng Dynasty for nearly six years, Yin Zijing knew its strict social norms. Zhang's actions were clearly an attempt to match her with the Crown Prince. Lost in thought, Yin Zijing suddenly felt a burning, tingling, and itchy sensation in her chest. She felt extremely uncomfortable and unconsciously let out a soft moan.

Yin Zijing quickly shut her mouth, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she thought to herself angrily, "Yin Zijing, what are you doing? Look where you are! You can't even control your own body now."

Yin Zijin quickly explained, "Zijin was rude. My wound hurt again, and I couldn't help it."

Sheng Yixuan said gently, "It's alright. I heard about Sixth Miss's matter from Jing Yi. I brought some excellent medicine from the palace, and I'll give it to you in a bit!"

Oh! By the way, Madam. Jingyi will take care of you. Although the refugees outside the city have been brought under control and resettled, there's no guarantee that nothing might go wrong. It would be best if Madam and Sixth Miss traveled light.

It's best not to bring those four cartloads of luggage; just bring some personal items. That way, you won't attract too much attention and become a target for vagrants and bandits.

Madam Zhang quickly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will send those four carriages back to the manor immediately, and then I will travel lightly with the Sixth Miss to Fu'an Temple."
