The armor-clad imperial guards stood at the bow and stern with solemn expressions.
After Bai Xianyu went out, she found a seat where Mo Linyuan was lying and sat down. Emperor Wu Xuan’s move was to first, facilitate a marriage alliance and second, to show the prosperity of Great Kui. However, he would not always let the few of them go along. It would only be ten days at most.
In other words, the mastermind would definitely find an opportunity to frame their General’s Manor in these ten days.
As she thought about it, her gaze unconsciously fell on the unconscious Mo Linyuan.
Xie Xingyun sat on the pleasure boat with his legs curled up for a long time without moving. Even though he was drunk, the pain did not lessen at all.

The next day, according to the host’s arrangement, the few of them would go together to the temple fair.
The Great Xiangguo Temple occupied an extremely large area, and the trade around it was flourishing.
There were people selling calligraphy, brushes, ink and rare antiques. There were also acrobats, and candy makers. It was extremely lively.
Bai Xianyu and Li Changming followed behind the group. The youths in front rarely had the chance to come out and hang out, so they all had smiles on their faces.
The palace guards also blended in, dressed as commoners. Although any one of these young masters, if randomly picked out, was famous in the capital, not many people knew what they looked like. Most of the news they heard was just rumors.
In addition, there was no lack of dignitaries in the Great Xiangguo Temple, so not many people cared.
Xie Xingyun held a sword in his hand and followed behind Bai Xianyu with a calm expression.
Bai Xianyu and Li Changming were not very familiar with each other, but Li Changming was very enthusiastic and kept pulling her along to talk. “Have you been here before?”
“I’ve been here before.”
Li Changming smiled and said, “I’ve always wanted to make friends with you, but I’ve never been able to find a chance. If Father hadn’t arranged for me to come along this time, 1 don’t know when I would have been able to talk to you.”
Bai Xianyu smiled and said, “Your Highness, you flatter me.”
Li Changming did not think much of it. Compared to Li Changning, their personality was like heaven and earth. She held Bai Xianyu’s hand affectionately and said sincerely, “Don’t call me Your Highness. Just call me Changming.”
Bai Xianyu nodded and called out “Changming”.
Li Changming immediately smiled.
She was a very likable girl. Bai Xianyu silently evaluated her in her heart. If she really liked Eldest Brother, she did not know if it would be a good thing or a bad thing for her. Eldest Brother’s mind was not on romantic relationships. Perhaps he wanted to immediately have glorious achievements in his life. If she really married Eldest Brother, she would have to endure the loneliness that ordinary people could not tolerate and might even have a rift with her father.
Li Chun knew how to have fun. He led everyone to a spot for a pitch-pot game. “Everyone is tired from shopping. Why don’t we play pitch-pot? Let’s form teams of a few people each and compete.”
Li Yi immediately agreed. “Seventh Brother is right. Coincidentally, there’s a resting pavilion here. Why don’t we get someone to buy a pitch-pot and place it near that pavilion so that we won’t be disturbed?”
The pavilion at the side was by the water and there were a few people sitting inside. Li Yi called a guard over and gave him a few taels of silver. Soon, it was empty over there.
“I’m so tired. I don’t want to play. Can we just sit down?” Li Changning complained.
Mo Linyuan smiled and said, “Of course. If you want to play, go ahead. Girls don’t have much stamina, so you can just rest.”
Li Changning smiled and went over to sit.
Li Changming asked Bai Xianyu, “Do you want to play together?”
“I’m a little tired too.” Bai Xianyu shook her head and went over to sit down, but she kept a distance from Li Changning. “You go ahead.”
Li Changming went to play with her brothers and Mo Linyuan.
Xie Xingyun was not in the mood to participate.
Mo Xin wanted to show off in front of him, so she shouted, “I’m very good at pitch-pot. Even my cousin is not my match.”
“Since you’re so awesome, why don’t we split into a few teams and compete one on one?” Li Chun suggested.
Li Changning was a little unhappy. Just by looking at Princess Chong An, she knew that she was interested in Xie Xingyun. She was even the Princess of Daqing. Her mother had said that she was very likely to marry over in a marriage alliance. If she was not interested in her brothers but her cousin, her father would probably bestow the marriage.
She had to dampen her spirits.
“Me too. I’m good at pitch-pot too!”
“Come, come, come. Our Little Number Five and Little Number Seven are both very awesome, hahaha.”
After Li Changning stood up, Bai Xianyu was the only one left in the pavilion. She was a little thirsty and licked her lips..
