The Empress held Shen Chuwei's hand, giving her countless reminders and instructions.
"Crown Princess, be extra careful when you're out and about. The human heart can be wicked, and with your beauty, it's easy for malicious people to target you. Always have someone by your side to protect you, understand?"
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, "Mother, I remember. Aren't I disguised as a man? The chances of encountering perverts should be quite low."
The Empress spoke again, "It's always good to be cautious, don't go to dangerous places."
Shen Chuwei responded, "I will keep Mother's teachings in mind."
This was Xiao Jinyu's first long journey, and the Empress was not only worried but also reluctant to part with him.
No amount of words could ease a mother's worry upon her child's journey of a thousand miles.
Xiao Jinyu stepped forward to pay his respects, "Father, Mother, I'm leaving now."
