The ordinary maids in the palace were not allowed to carry knives and weapons with them, and Hua Mian did not dare to carry the dagger sent by Sikong Xiao, so she had to hide it deep in the suitcase.

After entering the spring, time seems to make people have no concept of grasping, as if what they are doing has become a thing of the past as soon as they turn their heads, the second prince has not looked for Huamian since the last time they met, I don't know if it was too busy and forgot, or Huamian refused too decisively before, leaving no room for maneuver for the other party.

When Hua Mian came back to his senses, the day of harmony had already arrived, and the various colors of incense, candles and silk flowers required for the ceremony were decorated from the palace gate all the way to the outside of the city, and the people in the city also temporarily put down their busy work, and the crowds were crowded on both sides of the main road.

"Stand backwards, don't squeeze any further, beware of the carriage coming and bumping into it"

"All the stalls on the street are put away, and no stalls are allowed on both sides of the main road today"

A leading column of soldiers came out of the palace gate and walked slowly along the route in the direction of the city gate, coaxing the crowd of onlookers who had flocked to the road to both sides as they went, and there were still two hours before the departure.

Hua Mian checked the luggage to be packed for the last time, and it was only the friendly team that would go out from the main gate, and the entourage like them had to go out from the side gate in advance, and then join the friendly team five miles outside the city.

The room has been cleaned up, considering that only a very small amount of rare seasonings are left in the shelf life, and the other seasonings can be collected as long as there is money, and Huamian will be packed and taken away, although Beilin should not be short of condiments, but no one can say what will go wrong on the road, for the sake of safety, Huamian still stuffed the carriage with dry seasonings and other dry goods in the kitchen.

There are all kinds of people and horses along the way, and the time it takes to travel must be much longer than when Sikong Yue came back from Beilin, and others are just that, it is absolutely impossible for His Highness Eleventh to eat the meals provided by the official posts along the way, so a number of vehicles full of ingredients were arranged in the accompanying supply convoy, and Hua Mian was careful when submitting the list, and asked for a lot more, maybe Jia Lao also guessed her thoughts, and approved them happily without asking the reason.

"Everything is loaded into the car?"

Hua Mian was counting, when she heard Jia Lao's voice behind her, she looked back and saw Jia Lao looking up and down the boxes stacked high on the carriage with his hands behind his back.

"Jia Lao", Hua Mian nodded in the direction of the other party as if he had said hello, and the work in his hand was not suspended.

Jia Lao didn't care about Hua Mian's reaction, and continued to pull the rope that bundled the box in the east, and patted the burlap bag full of ingredients in the west.

Hua Mian bent down to check whether the ropes were tied firmly, and as soon as she lowered her body, something slipped out of her arms, and fell to the ground with a 'bang', the roads in the palace were paved with bluestone slabs, even if the people around were noisy, Jia Lao, who was closest to Hua Mian, still heard this voice, and was attracted by the sound and turned his head to look in the direction of Hua Mian.

Although Hua Mian picked up the thing that fell on the slate and kicked it back into his arms as soon as possible, he still couldn't hide it from Jia Lao's eyes.

"What did you hide?" , since Jia Lao saw the shape of that thing clearly, he didn't want to pretend not to see it.

"Nothing, not something special... Women's households, is Jia Lao also interested? Hua Mian said and turned around to go to the carriage next to him.
