Seeing Gu Baoshu smile like a cat that just snuck a taste of fried small fish, Qin Heng cleared his throat and said, "I wonder where the princess's imperial carriage has reached; with so many people on the road, it must be difficult to pass."
Gu Baoshu snorted proudly, tilting her chin up, "What's so difficult about that? It's my third brother who's escorting the two princesses here."
Qin Heng listened with surprise, "Didn't you just say that Dingbei Marquis is busy with the grand review of the Great Camp outside the city and couldn't make it?"
"I wasn't wrong. My third brother returned to the Great Camp outside the city and escorted the two princesses to Ranxiang Inn on the way, at the request of the Ninth Princess to the Emperor."
"Oh..." Qin Heng had nothing to say.
Xiao Dong was a bit defiant, "Dingbei Marquis is a great minister of the nation, why not let the imperial guard escort them?"
