The next day, after Little Jiajia bade farewell to the people who had come to send her off, she got into the carriage back and left for the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

The carriage traveled out of the city. When it reached the official road, it sped up.

“Princess, sleep a little longer,” MO Yuan suggested.

Madam Li had helped prepare this carriage. The seats inside were much wider than ordinary carriages, and there was a thick blanket draped over it. It was quake-proof and warm, so one could lie down and sleep.

“I’m not sleepy now.” Little Jiajia blinked. “Sister MO Yuan, show me the pottery figurine again.”

MO Yuan was helpless. She took out a brocade box wrapped in cotton from the compartment under her seat. When she opened the brocade box, there were more layers made of cotton. Layer after layer, she tore open three layers of it before revealing a pottery figurine that was not much bigger than a palm.

“If Princess likes it, you can get someone to make a few more when we return to Phoenix City.”

“My husband gave this to me. It’s different.” Little Jiajia looked at the pottery figurine again and again. “But this doesn’t look very much like him. I have to get someone to make a more similar one next time.”

“Oh my, what should I do? I haven’t gone far, but I miss my husband a little.” she thought.

MO Yuan was speechless. “I’d better help the princess keep the pottery figurines well, in case you accidentally knock them over.”

If that was the case, she completely believed that her princess would go back and ask Prince Song to send another one.

“That’s true.” Little Jiajia carefully placed the pottery figurine back into the brocade box. Seeing that MO Yuan had wrapped it up and was about to put it in the compartment, she couldn’t help but say, “It’s dark and narrow inside. Give me the brocade box. I’ll carry it.”

MO Yuan thought to herself, “Those who don’t know better would think that it contains the ashes of Heir Song.”

Little Jiajia did not know what she was thinking. She was still muttering softly, “I wonder where my husband went so early in the morning. He didn’t come out to send me off.”

What she did not know was that when the carriage passed by the ten-mile slope, there were already two people waiting by the roadside with their horses. No one stopped them, and the convoy passed by.

“Heir, aren’t we here to send the princess off? Why didn’t you tell them to

“I’ve already sent her off.”

“You’ve… sent her off? But the princess doesn’t know that you’ve been here at all. You didn’t talk to the princess.”

“Did Guard Chu say something to you last night? It must be that he doesn’t want you to see the princess. Your temper is too good. Why do you have to listen to him?”

Song Jingchen didn’t want to say anything else. “Let’s go back.”

Chu Feng didn’t say anything. Instead, he gave him a letter from Lord Jing’an.

There were only five words in the letter. Mud Bodhisattva Crosses the River.

Song Jingchen knew that this sentence was referring to the Bulwark Duke’s residence.

At the same time, he made it clear that if Song Jingchen couldn’t solve his own issues, he wouldn’t let that girl come to Great Xia again, let alone marry him.

He didn’t say anything, but Song Jingchen understood everything.

It was worth mentioning that before Little Jiajia left, she got someone to send three bottles of health pills to Yuan Yuwan.

Cabinet Elder Yuan was old and would have some problems from time to time. It wasn’t a big problem, but it was still torturous.

Yuan Yuwan had grown up by Cabinet Elder Yuan’s side, so she was naturally very worried. When she received the health nourishment pill and asked the doctor to check it and found out that it was beneficial to her grandfather’s health, she sent it over immediately.

Cabinet Elder Yuan couldn’t bear to waste his granddaughter’s filial piety, so he ate one every morning and night.

Of course, at first, no one really took it to heart. After all, old age was inevitable. It could not be cured with medicine.

However, after persevering for a while, Cabinet Elder Yuan’s complexion visibly improved, and he became much more energetic. In the past, he had called for an imperial physician every few days, but no longer.

This made the pavilion start to take the Health Pill seriously. After all, no one wanted to die if they could live for a few more years.

Yuan Yuwan was grateful for Little Jiajia’s kindness, but she also knew that as the princess of a country, she didn’t lack anything. On account of how much Little Jiajia valued Young Master Song, Cabinet Elder Yuan was about to ask about the origins of the Health Nourishment Pill.

Yuan Yuwan only said that it was sent by the Bulwark Duke’s residence.

She more or less understood the situation in the imperial court and was worried that Emperor Chong’an would attack the Bulwark Duke’s residence. She only said that because she hoped that when that day came, her grandfather would help out on account of the health pills.

Through this, she had helped the Bulwark Duke’s Residence.

Seeing that it was New Year’s Eve, the members of the Yuan family moved to the old residence to celebrate the new year with Cabinet Elder Yuan.

Early this morning, Yuan Yuwan was reading on a soft couch by the window when You Bai walked in angrily. “They went overboard. They really went overboard.”

Yuan Yuwan put down her book and asked in amusement, “Didn’t you go to the kitchen to get breakfast? Who provoked you again?”
