Princess Jing'an raised his head to look at Mu Jinzhi, he tilted his head and laughed, and replied: ”When Eunuch returns, please thank Your Highness on my behalf, just that we have already agreed to pay a visit to the Jin King, this way we won't have time to go to Xiangyang.”

Little Mountain Village was almost half a month's journey away from the Shu City. Unlike Little Mountain Village, which was located close to the canal, it only took eight or nine days for the entire journey from the capital to the capital by boat with the wind.

Mu Jinzhi continued: ”However, my big sister has to go back to Xiangyang, it has been ten years since she was married, and she has not seen her godfather or godmother. I have already informed the two of them in advance that I will be going to visit the two elders, coincidentally, with my father-in-law.”

Fan Yingde knew that the two of them were really running out of time, if they went to see the Duke of Xiangyang at the Duke Jin's place, even if there was a suspicion, it would bring about a disaster for no reason.

”That being the case, after this servant returns and reports to the king, I presume the two of you will not be blamed.”

Princess Jing'an did not know about the matter between Su Ruirui and Princess Jing'an, so she smiled and said, ”I had wanted to go to Xiangyang, but as soon as we landed in the land of Shu, my second cousin sent people over to invite us to stay there for a few days, so I agreed.”

Fan Yingde finally understood why Mu Jinzhi gave up the idea. He sneaked a glance at Mu Jinzhi and saw him nodding towards him, his heart tensed up. It seemed that the Princess Jing'an was not lying.

Mu Jinzhi lowered his head to look at Princess Jing'an's exhausted face, reached out and gently supported her arm, and said: ”I can see that you are very tired, I am afraid that you have been too tired all these days. Now that the sacrifice is over, we will choose a day to go and see your second cousin.

After speaking, he called for the little girl and told them to help the princess back to her room to rest. He then said, ”Eunuch, you haven't come here for many years. I'll take you to see our little mountain village.

Fan Yingde saw that Mu Jinzhi had already removed the immaturity from his body.

When the Princess Jing'an asked him with her eyes, Mu Jinzhi gave a faint smile but did not speak. She was unwilling to brush his face away, so she could only follow the little girl and leave.

After she left, Mu Jinzhi gracefully made a gesture of invitation and smiled: ”Eunuch, this way please!”

Fan Yingde nodded his head and laughed lightly. After a while, the two of them left the main hall shoulder to shoulder, and when they arrived at the courtyard where there was no one around, he sighed: ”In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed. You guys have grown up, and our prince is also old.”

Su Ruirui was about seven or eight years older than Mu Jinzhi. He smiled and said, ”Eunuch, you are overthinking it.

Fan Yingde said while laughing: ”Before I came, Your Highness had already explained it to me, young master, don't forget to enter high school into Han Lin the next year.”

Mu Jinzhi's heart stirred as he laughed, ”Of course I'm working hard. Otherwise, that mother-in-law of mine would probably strip me of my body and give me a beating.”

”Han Lin is a good place, I heard that Lord Little Yang can already walk with his superior.” Fan Yingde replied softly. His tone and expression seemed to be saying that the change in Little Mountain Village was really huge, making him very happy.

Mu Jinzhi stood on the slope with him and pointed towards the opposite side of the small mountain village.

Willow, white wall, green brick courtyard.

A cool breeze, the sound of frogs chirping, and the fragrance of flowers at the front of the hill.

Look, the new house over there is built by our small mountain village. Other than a few wealthy families who bought a place to stay, we, the Village Head Grandpa, use most of our silver to build shops and small courtyards. Even if we only rely on rent collection every year, the villagers will no longer starve.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, ”Your Majesty's health is getting worse. After hearing the news that Imperial Concubine had passed on, not only did His Majesty incontinence, the crown prince was also gradually reprimanding him on the matter of the country, reminding him to be careful. Also, the crown prince, under the pretext of protecting the safety of Her Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, had sent a guard to replace the one in front of the two.” This was a disguised form of house arrest.

Fan Yingde beamed with joy as he pointed to the peach blossoms that were sticking out of the wall and said: ”Sigh, it's getting harder and harder to pass the message from the palace now. I hope that when Young Master Mu returns, you can tell Young Master Yang that our prince is ready, but the time is not right yet, I'm afraid that Imperial Concubine will have to suffer for a while longer.”
