âThe spirit rice porridge is really fragrant, with a taste of peach juice.â
Mo Canglan took a mouthful of porridge, and his eyes squinted comfortably, leaving a lingering aroma on his lips and teeth.
âItâs made with spirit peaches.â
Lin Qingluo turned her head and smiled: âThere are more in the basket. If you want some, wash them yourself.â
âMmm.â
Mo Canglan responded with a smile, holding his bowl and drinking the porridge, which became more and more sweet and fragrant.

The eunuch who relayed orders accepted a bribe, and while responding to the Empress, took a detour to the sleeping chamber of the Little Prince and relayed Duke of Zhenâs instructions to Lin Qingluo.
âGrandfather is here.â
A warmth surged through Lin Qingluoâs heart, and after a brief pause, she went to the desk, pulled out a piece of paper, and began writing with a brush.
After finishing the writing and drying the ink, she rolled up the paper, put it into a bamboo tube, and mentally contacted Baoya.
âMaster, do you have any orders?â
Baoya jumped down from the treetop, trotted into the room, leaped onto the table, and displayed a pleasing smile.
âMy grandfather is here, and he may not have gone far.â
Lin Qingluo pointed to the bamboo tube and whispered, âYou go to the palace gate, and when you see my grandfather, hand over this note to him.â
âAlright, Baoya will go now.â
Baoya bit the bamboo tube, leaped out of the window with his snowy body, swiftly becoming a flash of white light disappearing in the blink of an eye.@@novelbin@@
âFourth Brother will leave tomorrow; I really want to see him off.â
Lin Qingluo watched Baoya run far away, her brow and eyes darkened as she spoke softly.
âYixuan will wake up tonight; I can stay here and watch him while you go back to see Jinyun off.â
Mo Canglanâs attention was always on his younger master, and hearing her voice, he hurriedly tried to share her worries.
âThank you, Brother Lan.â
Lin Qingluoâs eyes brightened, her brow and eyes relaxed, and she gave a sweet smile in return.
âHehe, Master, you donât need to be polite with Cang Lan.â
Mo Canglan touched his nose and grinned foolishly, his ears slightly red.

Duke of Zhen didnât get to see his granddaughter, feeling stifled in his heart, and as expected, he hadnât gone far.
Baoya successfully met him at the palace gate, placed the bamboo tube with the note at his feet, and cleverly meowed twice while displaying an endearing smile.
âBaoya?â
Seeing the little white leopard, the Duke of Zhen was overjoyed, bent down to pick up the bamboo tube, opened the stopper, took out the note, and read it carefully, word by word.
After a moment, he exhaled deeply, his worried heart finally settling down.
âYou go back and tell Qingluo that Grandfather knows, and Iâll come back to the palace to see her early tomorrow morning.â
He knew that his granddaughterâs little leopard was clever and could understand human language.
The old man didnât care about other peopleâs strange gazes, squatted down, and talked to it with a beaming smile, while also stroking the leopardâs fur.
âMeow.â
Baoya obediently meowed twice, nodding seriously before turning and running off.
âBack to the mansion.â
With the note in hand, Duke of Zhen had accomplished his mission and was content as he boarded the carriage and entered the cabin.
âCrack.â
The coachman gently whipped the horse, which neighed softly, and pulled the carriage forward with clattering sounds.
