The gratitude from the people throughout the journey still moved Ye Qichi somewhat.
She silently watched the people kneeling to send them off, then turned to look at Xiao Jinxing again.
Xiao Jinxing remained composed, not showing any emotion.
It was really hard to tell what he was thinking at this moment.
That even if Xiao Jinxing was cold-blooded and merciless, there should still be a slight stir in his heart.
It would also lay a foundation for becoming a good emperor in the future.
The two of them just silently accepted such a farewell from the people.
Bai Mowan was riding a fine horse and left Yuzhou City together with Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi.
She looked at the people on both sides, observing their adoration for Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi...
With Xiao Jinxing’s arrival in Yuzhou, he had already won a great deal of people’s hearts.
She should be relieved.
After all, Xiao Jinxing’s accomplishments now far surpassed those in his previous life.
In his last life, all these merits were on Xiao Jinsen.
However, she suddenly felt a bit of loss in her heart, even some repression.
The achievements Xiao Jinxing now had were not mainly due to her help, but because of Ye Qichi.
The people’s gratitude, the gratitude toward Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi, they had the people’s support, she did not.
Bai Mowan tried to keep calm.
She really didn’t want to envy anyone.
Nor did she allow herself to be envious of anyone.
A line of carriages and troops left Yuzhou City.
Pang Nan dismounted from his horse and gave the highest kneeling salute to Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi, watching as Xiao Jinxing and the Bai Family troops left.
Ye Qichi had been watching Pang Nan all this time, and then watched Bai Mowan riding a horse, majestically leading the Bai Family troops away.
"Aren’t you going to take another look at your Lady Bai?" Ye Qichi asked Xiao Jinxing.
At this moment, Xiao Jinxing was seated in the carriage, resting with eyes closed.
Upon hearing Ye Qichi’s words, he completely ignored her.
Ye Qichi also felt she was just making a fool of herself.
She put down the curtain and then played with the baby in her arms.
In the carriage, because of the presence of the child, it got somewhat noisy.
Xiao Jinxing disliked noise, so he frowned and said to Ye Qichi, "Keep it down."
Ye Qichi didn’t even look at Xiao Jinxing, and said indifferently, "If you find me noisy, I can go to Gu Xingchuan’s carriage later."
Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened even more.
Then, he said no more.
A group of people traveled for an entire day.
They arrived at an inn to rest.
It had to be said, sitting in a carriage for so long was indeed very exhausting.
Ye Qichi felt like her body was falling apart.
She went to the inn with the baby and settled down.
Naturally, Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing stayed in the same room.
Disdainfully glancing at the baby who had already fallen asleep and was placed on the bed, Xiao Jinxing asked, "Is she sleeping here tonight?"
"Otherwise?" Ye Qichi retorted to Xiao Jinxing.
"I’m not used to it."
"Then you don’t have to sleep here."
"..." Xiao Jinxing coldly looked at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi didn’t care about Xiao Jinxing’s mood at all.
After settling the baby, she even said to Xiao Jinxing, "I’m going out for a while, please look after her for me."
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing burst out in anger.
Ye Qichi acted as if she didn’t hear and walked straight out of the room.
Xiao Jinxing’s expression turned extremely gloomy.
Xiao Wu, who had always been closely protecting Xiao Jinxing, saw the Prince being so infuriated by the Princess, used to think the Princess shouldn’t be , but now felt that the Prince deserved it for not cherishing the Princess.
Just when Xiao Wu was somewhat lost in thought and secretly feeling good inside, the room suddenly echoed with the baby’s crying.
Made Xiao Wu somewhat stunned.
Xiao Jinxing seemed visibly flustered at that moment as well.
Although he hid it well.
The two of them just watched the baby cry.
From the initial soft cries to the loud wailing because no one attended to her.
Xiao Jinxing was clearly annoyed by the crying and shouted at Xiao Wu, "Go find Ye Qichi to come back!"
On this journey, apart from Ye Qichi, there was no other woman.
In Daxuan Kingdom, it has always been a woman’s duty to take care of children, unquestionably.
Hearing the order, Xiao Wu hurriedly left.
Xiao Jinxing somewhat regretted it.
With Xiao Wu gone, he was the only one left in the room facing the baby.
He didn’t want to bother.
But hearing that cry as if the baby was dying, ultimately annoyed him enough to go over.
The baby’s cheeks were red, not sure if it was from the sleep that made her complexion good or because her face turned red from crying, but it must be said, the baby’s tiny appearance and tender skin still caused some stirring in the heart.
