After all the decisions were made, Yi Ya did not delay for a moment and immediately assigned a reliable person to inform Wu Gege and Niu Hulu Qingran. The news drifted into Wu Gege's ears like a breeze.

At that time, Wu Gege was sitting on a soft couch by the window, playing with a string of delicate jade beads in her hands. The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto her calm face. Her eyes were deep and peaceful, as if she was thinking about something profound.

"Princess, the lady from Fu Jin sent someone here, saying that..." The little maid ran in breathlessly, with a look of excitement and mystery on her face.

Wu Gege raised her head, a trace of doubt between her brows: "What is it?"

The little maid took a deep breath and tried to calm her excitement: "It is said that you are also on the list of people accompanying the southern tour!"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Gege's eyes widened instantly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. The jade beads in her hand slipped to the ground, making a crisp sound, breaking the silence in the room.

"Me? On the accompanying list?" There was a hint of trembling and disbelief in Wu Gege's voice.

The little maid nodded her head: "Yes, princess, you heard it right."

Wu Gege was stunned. She had never thought that Yi Ya would let her accompany Yinzhen on the southern tour. This news was both a surprise and a challenge for her. A complex emotion surged in her heart, including fear of the unknown and desire for opportunities.

Although she was full of doubts, Wu Gege did not delve into the reasons. She knew very well that there were some things in the harem that she could not easily guess. Her thoughts had already drifted to the unknown southern tour, imagining the scenery along the way and the various situations she might encounter.

She knew very well that this was a rare opportunity. If she could seize the opportunity and try to get pregnant with Yinzhen's child during this trip, then even after the southern tour was over, she would have someone to rely on and a guard of honor. This idea became stronger and stronger in Wu Gege's mind, and she decided to do everything she could to realize it.

She opened her red lips and called Chunhua who was standing beside her: "Chunhua, go and get the new fabrics that were distributed from the mansion a few days ago. I want to prepare some new clothes for myself." There was some anticipation and excitement in her tone, as if she had already seen what she would look like in the new clothes.

Chunhua nodded her head and agreed, then turned around to get the material. She knew Wu Gege's temper, and she wanted to do this properly. After a while, she came back with a stack of colorful and soft material and placed it in front of Wu Gege.

Wu Gege touched each piece of fabric carefully, as if she was telling them her thoughts. She picked out a few of her favorites and asked Chunhua to take them to the tailor to make some new clothes for her.

"Remember, it must be made to fit well and the style must be novel and unique," Wu Gege reminded.

Chunhua nodded, picked up the material and left in a hurry. She knew that Wu Gege was preparing new clothes for the upcoming southern tour. This southern tour was of great significance to Wu Gege, and she hoped to take this opportunity to attract the handsome and elegant Prince Yinzhen.

After Chunhua left, Wu Gege called Xia He again and said, "Xia He, go get my jewelry box. I want to pick out some jewelry to match my new clothes."

Xia He left in response, and soon returned with a jewelry box inlaid with gems. Wu Gege opened the box, and found the jewelry inside was dazzling and glittering. She selected a few of the most exquisite pieces of jewelry and asked Xia He to take them to someone to polish them to make them more dazzling.

"Xia He, please pack my travel things and make sure nothing is left out." Wu Gege ordered.

Xia He took the order and began to pack Wu Gege's luggage. She knew that this southern tour was of great significance to Wu Gege, so she packed every item with extra care.

In this way, Wu Gege's courtyard became busy for the upcoming southern tour. Chunhua and Xiahe were busy shuttling between the courtyards, preparing everything Wu Gege needed. Wu Gege sat quietly in the courtyard, her heart full of anticipation and excitement. She knew that she was about to have an important opportunity, and she had already made full preparations, just waiting for that day to come.

On the other side, Niu Hulu Qingran sat alone in front of the window, playing with a string of exquisite jade beads in her hands, her eyes deep and calm. Her maid Cui'er hurried in with a look of joy on her face.

"Master, good news!" Cui'er shouted excitedly, "The list of people who will be on the southern tour has been released, and you are on the list!"

Niu Hulu Qingran raised his head slightly, glanced at Cui'er, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh, really? This is good news."

Cui Er was puzzled when she saw Niu Hulu Qing Ran's indifferent reaction: "Master, why aren't you excited at all? This is an opportunity that many people dream of!"

Niu Hulu Qingran shook her head gently and put down the jade bead in her hand: "What's the point of being excited? Before we really go out, everything is still unknown. Besides, I got a more interesting news."

"What news?" Cui'er asked curiously.

"Wu Yazhixi's name is not on the list." Niu Hulu Qingran said lightly.

Cui Er's face changed when she heard this: "Wu Ya Zhixi? That arrogant young lady? She's not on the list? Then won't she cause trouble for you?"

Niu Hulu Qingran nodded, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Yes, she has always been narrow-minded. She must be dissatisfied for not being selected this time. I have a feeling that she will find ways to make trouble for me in the days to come."

Cui'er looked at Niu Hulu Qingran with some concern: "Master, what are you going to do?"

Niu Hulu Qingran took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "When the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. I have my own countermeasures. Cui'er, you just need to follow my instructions, and don't worry about the rest."

Cui Er felt more at ease when she saw Niu Hulu Qing Ran was so calm and composed. She nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
