Xia Zixuan came out of the thatched hut but did not go to rest. She found Jinghe and said, "Let's go over there and see if there is anything we can help with."

Xia Zi pointed to the cooking area. She saw two aunts with injured arms still making fire, and a little girl was washing vegetables.

"Hey, here comes the girl." Jinghe responded.

Xia Zixuan brought Jinghe to the cooking area and said, "Auntie, please go to the side and take a rest! I'll help you light the fire."

The lady looked at Xia Zixuan, thinking she was a young lady from some family. "No need, young lady. It would be bad if your clothes get dirty later."

Xia Zixuan squatted beside her and said, "It's okay, you can wash your clothes if they get dirty!"

Seeing her squatting on the ground, Yang offered her own stool and said, "Young lady, please sit here! Squatting is tiring."

Xia Zixuan took the opportunity to say, "Okay, then you get up, Auntie! I'll light the fire."

"Oh, okay, thank you, young lady." Yang stood up and said.

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "You're welcome. I have nothing to do, so I thought I'd come and chat with you aunts."

Seeing Xia Zixuan was so easy to talk to, Xu, who was washing the pot, also said, "Where are you from, girl?"

Xia Zixuan still felt a little uncomfortable when they called her "girl". "Auntie, you can call me Xiao Xia or Zixuan. I'm from Linshui Town."

The other people also gathered around and asked, "So those supplies were sent by Xiao Xia?"

"Oh, Xiao Xia is such a kind-hearted girl."

"Yes! In our town, except for Lord Su, no one else sent us any. Only the county magistrate next door sent some rice and flour to our two villages!"

"That's right! Not even as good as a little girl."

Xia Zixuan felt that she had come to the wrong place. Why did she start to criticize others? If this got out, everyone would think that she was the one who instigated it!

She changed the subject and said, "Auntie, the pot is dry."

"Dear aunties, let's cook quickly! I heard that an important person is coming today!" Xia Zixuan said while pointing upwards.

An aunt asked quietly, "Was he sent by the top leader?"

Xia Zixuan nodded: "Yes."

"Hiss." Several people took a breath when they heard this.

Xia Zixuan looked at them and said, "So let's cook quickly! Don't delay everyone's meal time."

Xu said, "Okay, let's stop talking and start cooking. Thank you so much, Xiaoxia, for reminding us. Otherwise, we would have missed something important."

Xia Zixuan watched several people cooking porridge and cutting vegetables, and no one said a word.

She didn't say anything. When they were about to finish cooking, they saw a group of people coming from Mu Chenyi's side. The young man in the lead was dressed in black. His face was a bit far away, so she couldn't see it clearly, but she could tell from his noble appearance that he was not a simple person. It should be the prince and his party.

The brothers Su Baijing and Su Baiyu were talking to Mu Chenyi in the room. Ying said, "Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

The two brothers hurriedly stood up and walked out, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Mu Chenze stepped forward and said, "Well, cousin, there's no need to be polite. We are all brothers outside now, so just be casual."

"Okay." Su Baijing stood up and said.

Zhou Zihao bowed and said, "Greetings, Prince Su."

Su Baijing said, "Mr. Zhou, there is no need to be so polite."

Su Baiyu was a bit eccentric. He said, "Crown Prince, you guys came pretty quickly. I thought you would arrive tonight or tomorrow!"

Mu Chenze patted his shoulder and said, "Well, we took a shortcut. Thank you for accompanying Ayi. By the way, where is Ayi?"

Su Baiyu said: "Ayi is injured. He had a fever attack yesterday and is recuperating now!"

After hearing this, Mu Chenze asked anxiously, "What? How did you get hurt? Is the heat poison attack serious?"

Su Baijing told him what happened, "Ayi is now recovering in the house."

Mu Chenze walked into the thatched house and saw his brother lying on the wooden bed. He walked up to him and asked, "Ayi, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Mu Chenyi saw his elder brother and said, "Thank you, my emperor. I am fine."

"Zhou Zihao pays his respects to Prince Yi." Zhou Zihao saluted.

Mu Chenyi nodded, "Mr. Zhou, please don't be polite. Just call me Second Young Master when you go out."

"Yes, then, young master, I will go and arrange the supplies first." Zhou Zihao said to Mu Chenze.

Mu Chenze said: "Okay, you go first!"

"I'll go with Mr. Zhou." Su Baiyu said.

After Zhou Zihao and the others left, Mu Chenze said, "We're outside now, call me brother!"

He still remembered that when Ayi was little, he followed him all day long, calling him "big brother" and always wanted him to take him out of the palace to play.
