Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

I can't help but remind you,

"Hey, hey, hey, don't spoil her too much, she'll be spoiled rotten."

This mother, too, dotes on her daughter, but she also worries that spoiling her too much might foster bad habits like arrogance in the future.

well.......

Educating children is such a headache!

However, as soon as Gu Nanzhi said this, she was immediately defended by Bian Chen, Huai Xu, and Lin Yicheng.

"We won't spoil them. Our little Zhaoye and little Wangshu are so smart and cute; they deserve to be pampered..."

"Exactly, it's not like we lack the means, so naturally we should pamper them a bit. Right now, we only have these two precious ones..."

Well, Gu Nanzhi's words were better left unsaid. These two little ones have completely won everyone's favoritism, and everyone is united in their goal of favoring the two children.

The people in front of us, and those who haven't arrived yet, are probably the same.

Gu Nanzhi looked helplessly at Jun Yanchen.

"Huaiqing, you see for yourself. If these two kids become spoiled and arrogant in the future, remember to give them a good beating. They've spoiled them rotten..."

Jun Yanchen squeezed Gu Nanzhi's hand.

"it is good"

--------

With Jun Yanchen's permission and at the slightest request from Jun Wangshu and Jun Zhaoye, Zhen Yunzhi, He Mobai, and the others also arrived at the mansion from behind.

Moreover, Xuan Ying also came this time.

"Master, Madam"

"Um"

The two children were also familiar with Xuan Ying and greeted him as well.

Uncle Xuanying

"Young master, young lady, we happened to run into the candied hawthorn vendor when we arrived..."

Xuan Ying took out two of the largest and reddest strings of candied hawthorn berries. Don't underestimate these small, inexpensive trinkets; just one string of candied hawthorn berries...

But that was enough to win over the two children, who now can't resist anything sweet.

However, there are usually restrictions on how much you can eat.

However, they could not resist the affection they received from various parties.

This kind of casual little thing, which doesn't require any deliberate flattery, is even more heartwarming. So Gu Nanzhi didn't stop the child from taking out the candied hawthorns; she just wanted the child to be happy.

"Thank you, Uncle Xuanying,"

The two children were overjoyed, their eyes shining as they held their candied hawthorns. It was quite remarkable that they remembered to ask Gu Nanzhi's opinion at this time.

After all, Gu Nanzhi was quite strict about their consumption of sweets and candies, saying that eating too much would cause worms to eat their teeth...

"Mommy, can we eat candied hawthorns?"

Those big, round eyes and that expectant look were simply irresistible, especially since Xuan Ying had brought those candied hawthorns specifically for them.

How could we possibly stop them from eating?

"Okay, go ahead and eat."

Having received permission, the two children happily took bites of the candied hawthorns. After enjoying their first bite, they even asked others if they wanted some.

The adults all refused, but the two children ate happily on the side.

Cold weather and candied hawthorns go so well together.

Seeing the child's happy expression, Zhen Yunzhi teased Xuan Ying from the side.

"Well done, little Xuan Ying! You're such a big, burly guy, yet you're so thoughtful, knowing to use candied hawthorns to please the two children!"

Xuan Ying felt embarrassed, but in short, he really liked the young master and young lady. They were both cute and smart. When he arrived, he didn't have time to make any other preparations. He happened to hear someone carrying candied hawthorns and selling them, so he bought some.

Once the cheerful atmosphere subsided, Zhen Yunzhi took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Alright, alright, enough with the jokes. Huaiqing, sister-in-law, you must have other important business to discuss with us here today."

I've received news that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet will be held in the palace, and many people have been invited. I will also be attending the banquet with my father.

That's only one thing. The day after the palace banquet, we'll be heading to the hunting grounds outside the capital. Have you received any news about that?

Now that they were talking about serious matters, everyone present put away their playful expressions and became serious.

Jun Yanchen nodded.

"Yes, I will go to the banquet with Nan Nan, and the next day we will go to the hunting grounds together to participate in the hunt."

As expected, Zhen Yunzhi's expression darkened slightly.

Even disregarding the fact that they now know Jun Yanchen has fully recovered, in the eyes of outsiders, Jun Yanchen is still a person with limited mobility and poor health.

He also received treatment in the past two days.

Even under these circumstances, which were common knowledge, the palace still invited him and his wife to participate...

A palace banquet is a given, but a hunting party... is this a deliberate attempt to make a fool of themselves, or is there some other motive...?

Simply hateful.

"There were no hunts at this time before. The pretext for this hunt is to provide a more amicable reception for the envoys, but everyone should know that the envoys' arrival is not so simple."

Now they've even taken the opportunity to organize a hunting ground, which is probably intentional, using the hunting as a pretext to do something shady.

"And you too, there must be a conspiracy targeting you as well..."

What are your thoughts? Are you prepared?

Everyone looked serious when the topic was brought up; they needed to be prepared for the schemes lurking in the shadows.

In short, whether Jun Yanchen and Gu Nanzhi go to the palace banquet or the hunt, we must ensure that they return safely.

Jun Yanchen and Gu Nanzhi exchanged a glance. Regardless of any scheming or plotting, they would face it together now.

And they will definitely be the ones to return safely.

"We've gathered here today precisely to discuss this matter. Since there's a hunt, it's relatively safer to hold a banquet at the palace, as it's much more difficult to carry out an operation within the palace than on the hunting grounds."

It's nothing but idle gossip, it doesn't matter,"

"As for the hunting grounds, Bian Chen and the others are there, but we don't know their exact location yet. We'll have to play it by ear..."

Gu Nanzhi also spoke up from the side.

"We'll be fine on our own. Whatever the conspiracy, we can handle it. But Zhao'er, Shu'er, Cousin, and Huai Xu, we'll have Cang Ling secretly send the two children over the day before."

"But you should take them to the Star-Picking Tower. It's a remote and undeveloped area, so there's no need to worry about anything. Let the people in the shadows use whatever tricks they have up their sleeves."

Given Jun Yanchen's and Gu Nanzhi's strengths, this group had no time to hesitate, especially with Cang Ling also present.

Besides, they're not without people in the shadows.

They can handle any conspiracy.

"Yes, Master, Madam, I will definitely protect Zhao'er and Shu'er."

"Don't be nervous. Zhaixing Tower is a remote area, and no one dares to cause trouble there. I trust you to go there. However, you must go secretly."
