Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Butler Chen continued, "Hmm, it's a bit like a study companion, or..."

"Sigh... she's the young master's junior sister."

Yun Shengsheng and Yan Shijin were both taken aback.

"Anyway, once you get there, besides studying, you'll be practicing martial arts to strengthen your body, much like in a regular school. And your teacher, Mr. Wen, is a world-renowned martial arts master; most people wouldn't even get to see him!"

Yun Shengsheng's eyes darted around, and her eyebrows rose.

[Martial Arts Master?]

So, it means I can learn ancient martial arts? Like light-footed skills? The kind where you can fly over rooftops and scale walls?

A bunch of images from martial arts movies flashed through her mind instantly, and she became somewhat excited.

But then she thought about how she had to be so frivolous at the age of three, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

[I was already so frivolous in my past life, am I supposed to start being frivolous from kindergarten this time? Am I destined to be a frivolous queen? Can't I just be a quiet, unassuming fish?]

She didn't agree on the spot and planned to go back and think about it.

Back at the shop, she saw her father carrying goods at the door, sweating profusely, and her mother kneading dough at the stove until her arms ached, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. She also remembered how her mother cried in her father's arms when her third sister left.

Suddenly, I couldn't lie flat anymore.

The whole family is working hard to make a living, so why can she just lie around doing nothing?

Following Yan Shijin is clearly a ladder to heaven.

Given the opportunity, would anyone else hesitate like she did?

No, if others knew, they would fight tooth and nail to get this opportunity.

Yun Shengsheng sighed.

It is obvious that if she can cultivate a good relationship with the eldest grandson of the emperor, her family will have an unshakeable backer in the future.

My brother-in-law will rise even higher in his career.

Second Sister and Zhen Linqing will no longer be sneaking around.

Third Sister won't be bullied in the palace.

Fourth Sister aspires to become a female general; killing enemies on the battlefield is entirely possible.

Fifth Brother will be able to become a wise and virtuous minister in the future.

Parents don't have to worry about what others think.

Yun Shengsheng made up her mind, and before Yun Huaikang could even ask, she nodded and said, "I'll go."

Gan Yuwan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Yan Shijin showed no expression upon hearing the news, but Steward Chen was so happy he almost jumped up on the spot, his wrinkles crinkling with laughter.

He first sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver to Yun Huaikang, under the pretext of "rewarding Yun Shengsheng for his meritorious service in taking care of the heir."

Yun Huaikang held the silver, gave a bitter smile, and felt that the money was burning hot.

A thousand taels of silver is a huge sum for any family, but the more he weighed it, the more it felt like he was selling his own daughter…

On April 15th, the sky was overcast, with low-hanging clouds, as if it was about to rain but holding back.

Gan Yuwan packed Yun Shengsheng's things up and down, filling several large bundles with clothes, shoes, socks, bedding, various pastries, banknotes and loose silver, and a jar of dried meat she had made, using the recipe provided by Shengsheng.

She always felt like she hadn't brought enough, so she would pack everything and then take things out, only to put them back in again. She went through this process several times, and her eyes remained red.

When Yun Huaikang lifted Yun Shengsheng onto the oxcart, his heart ached.

The couple escorted Sheng Sheng to the gate of the Chen residence, where several luxurious carriages were already waiting. The curtains were made of dark satin, and the wheels were larger than those of ordinary carriages.

Yan Shijin was already sitting in the car. The curtain was not lifted, and only one hand could be seen resting on the side of the car window, with fingers as white as jade.

Yun Shengsheng was carried by Steward Chen to the carriage where Yan Shijin was.

She leaned out of the car window and waved to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!"

"I'll be fine!"

"You'll miss me!"

Gan Yuwan nodded, forcing a smile, which lasted only a second before crumbling.

The convoy set off, heading south along the official road.

The shadow of the carriage stretched longer and longer until it disappeared into the gloomy sky. Yun Huaikang didn't know their final destination, nor did Gan Yuwan…

When Yun Shengsheng came into this world, it was the first time she had ever ridden in a horse-drawn carriage.

At first, I felt quite sad to be separated from my parents, and my little nose tingled several times.

But a child's emotions come and go quickly; after the carriage had been swaying and rocking for an hour, she became excited.

He kept lifting the carriage curtain to look outside and chatted endlessly with Yan Shijin.

"Brother Shi Jin, look! That bird outside is so fat! It's ownerless, let's catch it and roast it!"

"Brother Shi Jin, have you ever eaten wild plums? My dad picked some for me, and they were so sour they made my teeth ache!"

"Brother Shi Jin, look! It just rained a little, and now there's a rainbow..."

"Brother Shi Jin..."

……

Yan Shijin didn't mind her; he just leaned against the carriage wall and listened, occasionally responding with a word.

He suddenly remembered—

At this time in his previous life, he sat alone in this carriage, bored for a full half month, without a single person to talk to.

Now there's a little girl chattering away, which seems... not bad.

Then the little girl chattered for two days, then became listless.

Yun Shengsheng slumped onto the cushion, asking weakly, "Brother Shijin, how much longer until we arrive? We've been sitting here for two days already, why haven't we gotten there yet?"

[If this were in modern times, it would be enough to circle the Earth, right?]

Even the largest carriage can't be that spacious. All day long, I'm just sitting, lying, or sprawled in this little box. I'm so bored I'm practically growing mushrooms.

[And the shock absorption system on this beat-up carriage was so bad, it made me feel like throwing up.]

Yun Shengsheng remembered her responsibilities and quickly checked on Yan Shijin's condition; he was clearly in bad shape.

His face was paler than usual, his lips were almost bloodless, he leaned against the carriage wall with his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed.

Yun Shengsheng took out the calming pills that Old Li had given her from her small bundle, but stopped halfway through reaching out.

[The eldest grandson of the emperor, how dare he take my medicine so casually? If anything happens to him, my whole family will be beheaded.]

She turned to Yan Shijin and asked, "Brother Shijin, did you bring the Qingxin Pill?"

Yan Shijin opened his eyes, nodded, and took out several medicine bottles from a hidden compartment in the carriage.

One of the bottles was exactly the same as Yun Shengsheng's.

"Then you should eat one yourself; it will make you feel better."

Yan Shijin poured out two pills, handing one to Yun Shengsheng and taking the other herself.

A cool sensation slid down my throat and slowly spread through my stomach, making me feel much more comfortable.

Yun Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, but in the end she ate it anyway.

I definitely feel much better now.

The carriage continued onward, stopping and starting along the way. On the seventh or eighth day, the caravan suddenly stopped in a mountain forest.

Yun Shengsheng thought they were going to rest here. Just as she was about to reach out to lift the curtain, Yan Shijin grabbed her little hand.

"Shh, don't move or make a sound."

Yun Shengsheng was stunned. Before she could react, she heard hurried footsteps approaching from outside.

Startled, she quietly lifted the curtain a crack.

They then discovered that a large group of men in black had surrounded their carriage.

[Oh, so someone is trying to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince.]

[That makes sense, given his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he's bound to be an eyesore to many, and assassination attempts are probably commonplace for him...]
