and Tao Hongying broke into smiles."Great, that was terrifying just now, but I made it!""Yes, he's a blessed child too, unwilling to see his mother sad."The woman didn't know if she had heard, but fin...When Jia Yin saw her sister-in-law busy in the morning, she took Yuan Yuan to the warm room to play and get acquainted with the flowers and plants.

Seeing so many large boxes all over the place when she came back, she couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Sister-in-law, I'm entering the palace, not going on a long journey. Just pack some basic necessities. Whatever is missing can be brought back later. "

"Besides, I'll stay for three days and can come back for two more!"

"No, no! The palace is not like home. What if it becomes inconvenient to come back What if someone in the palace makes things difficult for you"

"Bring more things with you, so that you won't suffer later."

Having said that, she pulled her younger sister over to look at a small box and continued to instruct, "Here I have changed some small gold and silver peanuts for you, as well as gold melon seeds and silver beans."

After you enter the palace, don't be stingy, reward when you should. When people owe you favors, the eunuchs and maids in the palace will do things for you because of the silver.

"The King of Hell is easy to meet, but little ghosts are hard to deal with. Don't easily offend these people, understand"

How could Jia Yin not understand these things, but her sister-in-law said that she just listened humbly, so as not to worry her sister-in-law.

Luckily, after a short while, the lord returned from the city. She then said to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I have something to ask my father. I'll be back soon."

After she finished speaking, Jia Yin dashed away like smoke.

The Lord washed and changed into plain clothes. Before anyone could call for Jia Yin, he saw the little girl sitting in the study, nibbling on fruit with a small fox she hadn't seen in a long time lying on her lap.

Across from him sat Mu Xu, the two of them holding playing cards and having a good time.

The lord couldn't help but laugh, the rigid lines on his face softening completely.

He strode in and asked, "Who won and who lost Do you need me to help cut the paper strips"

Jia Yin threw down her cards, jumped to the ground, and hugged her adoptive father's arm, saying with a smile, "Father, you're back! Mu Ge was no match for me at all. I was magnanimous and let him off!"

Otherwise, he was already ugly. Sticking a note on him would make it even worse.

Mu Xu rolled his eyes in strong protest, then smiled.

The lord tapped his daughter's forehead and said, "You're going to the palace tomorrow, have your luggage packed"

"My sister-in-law is helping me pack. Actually, I don't need to bring that much stuff, but she's just not at ease. I can't stand my sister-in-law nagging, so I came here to escape!"

Jia Yin took a fruit and a dagger, shaved it with a few swipes, then handed it to the Marquis, showing off: " Godfather, eat the fruit and see if my knife skills are still good"

"Don't worry, wherever we go, I won't be at a disadvantage!"

The Lord couldn't bear to strike his daughter, her knife skills were only good for peeling fruit; in a true life-or-death fight, they would be useless.

But a daughter is meant to be spoiled, he would never say that.

"Well, if you have a number in your heart, then that's fine. Be more assertive in the palace. Except for that person, you don't need to be polite to the rest of the eunuchs and maidservants. If they upset you, just beat them."

"That man doesn't even want to tear things apart now, as long as you stick to the facts, you have nothing to fear!"

The Marquis thought for a moment and then said, "My father-in-law hasn't been to the military camp recently. He goes to the palace every day. If there's anything, just have Mu Xu send a message."

Jia Yin patted the sleepy little fox and said, "Father, this time I will bring three. It will definitely be more convenient for it to enter and exit the palace than Mu Ge."

"If anything happens, I'll have the three of them go home or find you to deliver a message."

"That's alright then," the Marquis glanced at the little fox who was almost round like a ball, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I shouldn't have gotten you a little fox back then. A hawk or an eagle would have been better. It would have been easier to send messages wherever we went."

Three was suddenly and blatantly rejected, its drowsiness vanished in an instant. It leapt onto the table, then scrambled up to the rafters, across to the bookshelf, before finally landing back on the table with a thud.

She proudly lifted her chin, her small eyes staring at everyone, looking quite spirited.

The beautiful melody had just finished when Lord Hou and Mu Xu were both astonished.

They were all martial artists, but they still couldn't catch the little fox.

Most of the time, it looks like a white streak, and my eyes can't keep up with it...

"Wow, this little fox is so amazing! It's so fast!" Mu Xu was the first to shout, reaching out to pet its three bushy tails, but Sanqiao dodged him.

The Marquis laughed and said, "Indeed, San Tiao is really capable!"

The little fox immediately trotted over, excitedly rubbing against the lord's palm and wagging its big tail happily.

Mu Xu glared angrily, his eyes fixed on Jia Yin. "Am I being scorned by a fox"

Jia Yin burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. “That’s right, it dislikes you!”

The little fox snuggled back into Jiayin's arms and continued to sleep soundly.

After some lighthearted banter and a few words of advice, Jia Yin saw that the sky was darkening. She hurried back to her neighbor's house to prepare dinner.

She will enter the palace tomorrow, and tonight, her second and third uncles are probably worried and will come back to have a look.

As expected, as soon as dinner was ready, Li Lao Er, Li Lao San, and Mr. Wen, along with Jia Ren and his brothers, all came back.

Li Lao Si and Li Yong also arrived home from the military camp on horseback.

The steaming hot dishes were served, and everyone gathered around the table. Seeing Jiayin in her bright pink blouse, her cheeks flushed with heat as she busily ladled rice and soup, they all felt a knot in their stomachs.

Holding a child in her palm, she will be leaving home tomorrow.

Although the palace was within the city, to them, everything beyond their immediate surroundings was a distant place!

But children must grow up, and they must face the wind and rain.

They can't stop it, and they won't be able to!

Jia Yin wouldn't know that her family was worried about her, but even if they tried to persuade her, it would be useless.

She could only act as she had always done, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. This, ironically, reassured her family a great deal.

After eating most of it, Jia Yin was pulled back to the backyard by Wan'er to check those suitcases.

Leaving everyone else, he went up onto the wine platform. Everyone poured a bowl of wine and then raised them all together in a toast to Mu Xu who was sitting at the end.

Mu Xu was startled, quickly withdrew the smirk from his lips, and sat upright. "Lord Hou, Lord Bo... what's this"

Li Lao'er sighed and said solemnly, "Mu Xu, this time when Fu Niuer enters the palace, we can't follow along to take care of and protect her. We can only trouble you."

Though you've only been in our home for a short time, it's clear that this young girl is the apple of our eye. She means so much to us, and we couldn't bear to lose her.

Therefore, we entrust her to you, and also entrust our Lee family to you.

"Whenever, whatever the danger, your first priority is to ensure her safety. Don't hesitate or consider anything else."

Mu Xu quickly got up and bowed, replying: "My Lord Marquis, my Lord Uncle, please rest assured. I will protect the County Princess with every step of the way, ensuring her safety!"

If that day ever comes and she gets hurt, then I will be the one to go see the King of Hell first.

"Good!" Li Lao Er clinked glasses with him first, "As long as you can do this, our Li family will remember your kindness."

Li Lao San, Li Lao Si, Mr. Wen, Li Yong and Jia Ren several brothers took turns clinking glasses with him, and finally it was the Lord's turn.

The Lord didn't speak, only drinking it all in one gulp!

Mu Xu held the bowl, suddenly feeling as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He took a deep breath and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone put down their empty bowls, and finally smiles appeared on their faces.then, your desk will be piled high with accusations of arrogance again."The Marquis, however, was unconcerned. He replied, "Next year, when I have recaptured the north bank of the Yangtze River, I sha...
