In reality, Chu Shao didn't wait for too long. But before going to find Xiao Jin, she stayed in the Fifth prince's consort's tent and made two sky lanterns out of bamboo strips.

The Fifth prince's consort didn't expect Chu Shao to learn so quickly. In just a short moment, she made a sky lantern that looked just like the one the consort made, and the second lantern was even more delicate.

As Chu Shao lifted the lantern, her thoughts were unclear, but a faint smile appeared on her face. It seemed that her thoughts flew away before the lantern even took off.

The Fifth prince's consort shook her head, knowing that she couldn't keep Chu Shao. She sighed, "Forget it, I'm already very happy to have a chat with Third sister-in-law today. You should go find the Her Highness Prince Yan soon. If you wait too long, she will be anxious, and you will be anxious too."

If it were someone else, they would definitely exchange a few more words, engage in polite conversation for a while.

However, Chu Shao was not an ordinary person. After hearing the Fifth prince's consort's words, she smiled slightly and readily agreed, "Alright."

After saying that, she carried the two lanterns covered in red paper and left.

However, Chu Shao didn't expect that as soon as she lifted the tent curtain, she saw Xiao Jin sitting in a wheelchair, about to speak.

Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.

After a moment, Xiao Jin pursed her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But in the end, she closed her mouth and didn't speak.

Chu Shao, holding the two lanterns, couldn't help but smile and called out, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jin responded with a soft "Hmm."

Chu Shao asked again, "How did Your Highness know that I was here?"

Xiao Jin raised her hand and pointed to Ye Suyu, who was hiding beside the tent.

Ye Suyu, being praised, forced a smile and silently mouthed to the group of hidden guards behind her, "Disperse."

Chu Shao looked at the black hawk perched on Ye Suyu's shoulder and understood that the other party must have secretly informed Xiao Jin.

It had to be said, they did a good job.

The sky on the grassland was very blue, and the wind was gentle. On such a hot day, Xiao Jin, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Chu Shao with a relatively normal expression, except for her pair of bright black eyes that remained silent, resembling a dumb bride.

She had mastered the cold and indifferent attitude, but the displayed attitude was not much different from a young wife sulking.

Seeing this, Chu Shao smiled and asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"

Xiao Jin felt aggrieved in her heart, but she couldn't say it. She simply said, "It's too hot, I don't feel like talking."

Chu Shao slightly frowned and earnestly replied, "But it's equally hot on the grassland, and I can't do anything about it. Your Highness, you'll have to endure a little longer."

Chu Shao could endure, but Xiao Jin couldn't endure anymore. She looked into Chu Shao's eyes and said, "Let's go back together. Perhaps it won't be so hot."

Of course, at first listen, what she said seemed reasonable, but reality was cruel.

Being together in a stuffy tent might be more suffocating than being outside.

However, Chu Shao gazed at Xiao Jin, her brows and eyes curved with a smile, and pretended to be hesitant as she said, "But it seems even hotter inside the tent. Besides, the Fifth prince's consort just invited me to go to the lakeside to release lanterns later tonight."
