After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

At the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, due to years of war in the previous dynasty, many areas around the capital were sparsely populated and the land was barren.

This is especially true for Haozhou City, which was once the place where the current emperor started his rebellion.

So the emperor issued an order to start large-scale immigration.

Especially in his hometown, Haozhou City, the emperor issued an imperial edict, and more than 100,000 wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River had to leave their homes and forcibly move to Haozhou.

Therefore, the prosperity of Haozhou today is not inferior to that of the capital. Moreover, the population that has migrated from various places, various dialects, and various delicacies have made Haozhou City even richer.

Xia Xiaoxian lay in the brocade bag on Zhang Yu's chest, with her round little head showing. Her big black eyes looked around.

She wanted to see the prosperity of Haozhou in this mortal world.

Zhang Yu also walked slowly along the way, so that the little princess could enjoy the show more.

When passing by a brothel, Zhang Yu was almost hit by a bouquet thrown by a woman upstairs.

Xia Xiaoxian was still laughing and yelling, "Uncle Ai, she's so pretty!"

Zhang Yu’s handsome face turned red all the way to his ears.

"My dear, you can't look at this!"

"Uncle Ai, why can't Xiaoxian see it?"

"this......"

"Hahaha, Uncle Ai, you're blushing."

Zhang Yu just felt that the little princess was quirky and very cute.

Zi Su sat in the carriage, kept the curtains open, and followed behind Zhang Yu's horse, watching the two of them.

The group was having a great time strolling through the busiest market in Haozhou City, and it seemed as if Xia Xiaoxian's happy giggles could be heard throughout the entire street.

Zhang Yu rode his horse to the Xiankelai Restaurant. It was noon. Xia Xiaoxian smelled the aroma of food and clamored to go in and eat something delicious.

"Uncle Ai, eat meat!"

The cute voice seemed to have a magical power over Zhang Yu. He got off the horse with a smile, untied Xia Xiaoxian from his chest, and let her stand beside him.

"Xiaoxian, don't move. I'll feed the horse." Zhang Yu squatted down and touched Xia Xiaoxian's head.

Xia Xiaoxian responded obediently, "Okay, Uncle Ai."

When Zi Su saw that the two of them were preparing to go to the restaurant for dinner, she asked the driver to pull over.

"Waiter, take the horse to the stable and give it some water and food."

Zhang Yu handed the reins in his hand to the waiter who came over.

But when he turned around and wanted to hold Xia Xiaoxian's hand, he found that Xia Xiaoxian was gone!

In the blink of an eye, the little princess disappeared right under his nose!

Zhang Yu was horrified and turned to walk towards the carriage that Zi Su was riding in, but he bumped into Zi Su who was walking towards him.

"Eh? Cousin, where is the little princess?"

Zi Su looked at Zhang Yu in confusion.

For some reason, when she got off the carriage just now, she only saw Zhang Yu from a distance, but not Xia Xiaoxian, and she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.

"It was on your chest just now. How come it disappeared when I got off the carriage?"

"Well, I led the horse to the waiter to give it water, and the little princess disappeared the next moment."

Although Zhang Yu tried to keep his tone calm, he was really anxious in his heart.

In recent years, due to the influx of immigrants, Haozhou City has become home to all kinds of people.

If anything goes wrong with the little princess, killing Zhang Yu ten times would not be enough to pay for it.

The two looked at each other, both of them were extremely frantic.

Zi Su just felt that her legs were so weak that she could not walk.

"Miss Zisu, tell the coachman to hurry back to the Duke's Mansion and report this to the Princess."

Although Zhang Yu is young, he is much calmer than Zi Su.

He continued in a deep voice: "I am more familiar with Haozhou City than you are. Let me go and look around first."

"If there is any news, I will set off fireworks in the sky. If you see them, you will know that I have found the little princess."

"Your servant, I'll go right away." Zi Su's voice trembled slightly.

The two of them went their separate ways.

At this time, Xia Xiaoxian had already entered the alley opposite the Xiankelai Restaurant.

At first, Xia Xiaoxian was just being naughty and wanted to play hide-and-seek with Zhang Yu. She didn't jump out until Zhang Yu got anxious, and then she started laughing.

So she hid under the horse's belly and avoided Zhang Yu's sight.

The waiter led the horse to the stable, fed it some water, and returned to the restaurant without even noticing that the little girl was following him.

When Xia Xiaoxian jumped out of the alley, she saw Zhang Yu walking towards Zi Su. Xia Xiaoxian wanted to run out and give them a big surprise, but suddenly someone covered her mouth, picked her up and ran away.

Who dares to touch me?

But don't regret it!

Is this how Haozhou City welcomes me?

Hehe, now it’s going to be fun!

Xia Xiaoxian couldn't stop feeling ecstatic.

Since she was born into the mortal world, she has been well protected by Shen Yuyao. She has finally waited for such an exciting game.

Xia Xiaoxian was put into a backpack and placed on a cart. After about a quarter of an hour, a burly man opened the backpack and threw Xia Xiaoxian into a shabby carriage like a chicken.

There were already two little boys in the carriage, both asleep.

"Why did you bring back a girl?"

Xia Xiaoxian looked up and saw that the person who was speaking was a charming woman who looked to be in her thirties.

"It's good to have such a large quantity." The rough man complained, "It's not easy to find boys and girls in the market nowadays."

"It's what this girl deserves. She's already left alone at just over a year old."

"The girl is wearing Shu brocade. She must be from a wealthy family." The woman pulled Xia Xiaoxian to her side and took a closer look. "I hope she doesn't cause any big trouble."

"What kind of trouble could she cause? This girl looks less than two years old."

"Besides, we are not afraid of getting into trouble." The sturdy man looked at Xia Xiaoxian who had just been thrown into the car nonchalantly, "Who else can sue the palace?"

"Shh!" The woman put her index finger on her lips, "Be careful what you say, don't let others hear it."

The enchanting woman paused, and then said, "If the prince knew that it was us who leaked it, wouldn't he punish you and me?"

"Hahaha, you are such a coward,"

"Can this girl understand what we say? She is less than two years old." The man glanced at the two boys next to him.

"These two who were drugged are only four or five years old. Don't scare yourself!"

"Always be careful." The enchanting woman suddenly smelled a fragrance, which was quite pleasant.

She put her nose close to Xia Xiaoxian and sniffed carefully, "You know what, your baby girl smells pretty good."

The burly man didn't feel anything. "The girl's family might have given her some incense."

"Chun Niang, you don't want to take this girl to your brothel, do you?" The burly man seemed to suddenly think of something and turned to ask the charming woman.

"We are still far from the amount the prince wants, so don't think about anything else. First, raise these babies in the mountain temple of Heimu Cliff."

"Tomorrow is a market day. I will try my luck at the market again."

"Liu Laowu, there are dozens of these three plus the ones from the past few days. Do you want to move to another place?"

"Well, let's see tomorrow if we can catch them and change our place of residence."

"When will it be delivered to the palace?"

"It will take several days to get to the palace, and we should catch more in Haozhou City."
