"Second Brother is still out studying abroad and hasn’t returned, so let’s not include him."

"Third Aunt’s condition is unstable right now, and Third Brother and Fifth Brother are constantly by her side."

"Fourth Brother has such a large business and is busy every day, I dare not pull him away to play."

Bai Xilie asked, "What about Xingye then?"

The Sixth Prince, Bai Xingye, has been diligently practicing martial arts, something Bai Xilie knew well.

Bai Zhi’er hesitated for a moment: "Well... Sixth Brother..."

She couldn’t think of a reason despite pondering for a long time.

Bai Xilie smiled slowly: "I see he has nothing to do all day, let him accompany you out."

With family around, Bai Xilie believed Feng Fuce wouldn’t have a chance to do anything. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Bai Zhi’er couldn’t refuse, so in order to appease Bai Xilie, she had to agree.

That afternoon, Bai Zhi’er went to find the Sixth Prince, Bai Xingye.

Bai Xingye was very happy to learn he could go out with his sister.

He pretended to be calm on the surface: "How long will we go? Where are we going? How many clothes should I bring? Is it just you and me? Have you invited any other brothers?"

Bai Zhi’er chuckled: "Brother, you’re asking so many questions, I don’t know which one to answer first."

Bai Xingye thought for a moment: "Besides me, did you invite any other brothers?"

Bai Zhi’er shook her head honestly: "This time, it’ll just be you and me, don’t tell the other brothers."

If everyone knew she was planning to go to the Qin Kingdom, her father would definitely be worried!

The Sixth Prince was overjoyed at these words.

To hide his smile, he quickly turned around and cleared his throat.

"Alright, I’ll pack a few clothes. When do we leave?"

"Uh, Brother Ce said it’ll be a few more days; we should celebrate Sister Youzhen’s birthday before we leave."

The Sixth Prince squinted and looked back: "Is he going too?"

Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Yes, he’s responsible for protecting us, and you’ll be in charge of keeping me company."

Hearing this, the Sixth Prince was reassured again.

"No problem." He asked again, "But where are we going?"

Bai Zhi’er smiled happily: "To the Qin Kingdom."

Already packing his bags, Bai Xingye was stunned.

"To where? What are we going to do there?"

"For fun~" Bai Zhi’er replied lightly: "And to settle some scores."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xingye nodded immediately.

Turns out someone had bullied his sister.

Very well, even if that person runs to the Qin Kingdom, he’ll accompany Bai Zhi’er to chase them down.

After convincing Bai Xingye to keep the secret, Bai Zhi’er went to the Wen Mansion.

Actually, she shouldn’t leave at this moment.

Because soon, the annual imperial examinations would start again.

This time, at least ten scholars from the Fengchao Mansion could pass.

As the mistress of the Wen Mansion, Bai Zhi’er should stay to see their names on the golden list.

But the trip to the Qin Kingdom was imperative, so Bai Zhi’er planned to entrust the matters to Jun Kuang.

This time, Jun Kuang was also one of the scholars for the imperial examination.

"Brother A Kuang, I have some matters to leave the Capital for, so I’ll entrust the preparation for this exam to you."

"Scholar Chang and the others have great potential; as long as they rest well, they’ll surely pass."

"I just went to encourage them, no need to be nervous, just perform normally."

"As for you, you’re also taking the exam this time; let me wish you success in advance!"

Seeing Bai Zhi’er’s bright and sparkling eyes.

Jun Kuang stood under the corridor, smiling gently.

"Thank you, Princess, but are you going on a long trip and won’t be back for a while?"

Bai Zhi’er was taken aback.

It’s so obvious?
