I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"The county government has allocated a batch of funds this year. The emperor is wise and wants to revitalize the countryside and build schools. The road in Jijiawan is indeed difficult to travel on and needs to be repaired. The school also needs to be reinforced. Miss Ji, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters. I will ask someone to contact Ji Lizheng!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and nodded.

She felt that it was not her own face that was important, but Fu Jichang's face.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Jiye said: "Miss Ji, I heard that Mr. Fu has become the Prime Minister. Our Wei County is poor, and we would like to ask Miss Ji to fight for more benefits for our county..."

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Wei County is my hometown. I am thinking about the elders and fellow villagers. I will tell Mr. Fu about it."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Zhang Jiye rubbed his hands with joy.

However, he heard that Ji Xiaobei was named Princess Shanbei.

He also heard about it and was not sure.

I came to Jijia Bay today to confirm this news.

He hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively: "I heard from my friends in the capital that the emperor has conferred the title of Princess Shanbei on a girl named Ji. Are there any other girls with the surname Ji in the capital?"

He had specifically checked and found that most people with the surname Ji in the Great Northern Dynasty were in Jijia Bay.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Yes, there is indeed a princess named Shanbei, and I am her!"

Zhang Jiye was shocked and hurriedly stood up and kneeled down.

Ji Xiaobei quickly supported him and said, "Zhang County Magistrate, didn't you just say that I don't have any official business today? There's no need to be so formal."

Magistrate Zhang felt very uncomfortable, full of admiration and surprise.

"Then I won't disturb Princess Shanbei anymore. I'll take my leave first!" County Magistrate Zhang stood up and saluted.

"Zhang, Magistrate Zhang..." Ji Xiaobei called him, "I have to trouble you to keep the matter of being named the eldest princess a secret. My parents don't even know about it. Xiaobei is incompetent and I'm afraid I will disappoint the expectations of the villagers."

County Magistrate Zhang translated it in his mind: Ji Xiaobei wants to conceal his identity because he is afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble!

"I must, I must keep it a secret!"

Magistrate Zhang wiped his sweat and got on the carriage.

Ji Xiaobei waited until the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the alley before entering the yard.

Ji Lizheng came in right after that.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and repeated what Magistrate Zhang had said.

Kiritsugu almost jumped up with joy.

Ji Xiaobei became a little taller in his heart.

Ji Xiaobei bought a pig from the town, cut it up, and distributed it to his neighbors.

Old Mrs. Ji’s family also received a copy.

When Old Mrs. Ji went out and heard that other families were in the same situation as theirs, she couldn't help but feel angry.

Ji Xiaobei said that he would bring some things to see him.

Several days passed and she didn't come at all, she just asked the small table to send over some meat.

She was going to find Ji Xiaobei angrily.

Ji Ergou added fuel to the fire: "Mom, if you don't go, Ji Xiaobei and his family will leave!"

"Got to go?"

Old Mrs. Ji left in a hurry.

Ji Xiaobei and the others were indeed packing up.

"Daniu, you've only been back for a few days, why are you leaving now?"

Old Mrs. Ji held her eldest son's hand and said while crying.

"Mom, I still have business in Anzhou, so I have to hurry back..." said Ji Daniu.

"Then, mother will go with you..." She had heard that many people in the village wanted to follow Ji Xiaobei to Anzhou.

"Mom, you are too old to walk such a long distance."

Ji Daniu advised earnestly.

Ji Xiaobei came out and said, "Grandma, this is ten taels of silver. Take it. It's my father's gift to you. It wasn't easy for you to raise him."

Mrs. Ji started crying immediately: "Yes, it's not easy for me!"

Mrs. Lin curled her lips and said, "Why is it not easy for you? The military pay that Daniu sent back a few years ago went into your pocket."

Old Mrs. Ji wanted to refute, but she was afraid that Mrs. Lin would snatch the silver back.

She wiped her tears and left quickly.

Ji Xiaobei took a dozen people to Anzhou.

When he was about to leave, Ji Lizheng brought the whole village out to see him off.

The road from Jijia Bay to the town is too difficult to travel.

It took two hours to reach the town.

They found a restaurant to eat.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw two men on horseback galloping towards me.

Xiao Zhuo hurriedly pushed the donkey cart to the side to make way.

The carriage stopped in front of them.

Fu Jichang got off his horse.

Xiao Zhuo thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and saw that it was indeed Lord Fu.

"Miss Ji, Miss Ji, Master Fu is here..."

Ji Xiaobei poked his head out: "What are you shouting, what are you shouting, which Lord Fu?"

Fu Jichang strode to the donkey cart, lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Who do you think this is, Mr. Fu?"

Ji Xiaobei looked at him in astonishment: "Why are you here? You are not in Beijing!"

"I'm on a business trip to the south, and I happened to be passing by here, so I came to pick you up on the way!"

Fu Jichang said it lightly.

The black tower standing behind him curled his lips quietly:

My brother is such a liar!

It was true that they were going to the south on official business, but it was not on the way. The two of them ran all night before reaching Wei County, and then from Wei County to Cishui Town.

Not on the way at all!

"Daddy..."

The two children who were clamoring for food immediately smiled when they saw Fu Jichang.

"Dad, I knew you would come!" Guoguo said, pulling Fu Jichang's sleeve.

"How did you know Dad would come?"

Fu Jichang smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.

"Because Daddy misses Mommy..." Guoguo stuck out her tongue.

Ji Xiaobei hit her on the head: "Go eat, shut your mouth!"

The family walked in front in an orderly manner.

Following behind were the Ji Daniu couple.

"I don't know when the mourning period for the late emperor will be over. It's really a waste of time!" Mrs. Lin muttered.

Ji Daniu asked blankly, "Are you still mourning for the late emperor?"

Mrs. Lin: ...I am not worthy!

After dinner, Fu Jichang got on Ji Xiaobei's carriage and continued on his journey.

We stopped and walked along the way, and another half a month passed before we reached Anzhou.

So many people came here temporarily and there is no place to stay for the time being.

Ji Xiaobei let them live in Zhengguo Manor.

"Mr. Fu, I have to trouble you with something!" Ji Xiaobei said to Fu Jichang who was reading a book casually.

Fu Jichang put the book down: "Tell me, let's see if Master Fu can do it!"

"Many villagers have come. I would like to trouble you to say hello to the government office and register their household registration so that it will be convenient for them to go out and do things."

Ji Xiaobei asked with a smile.

"Mr. Fu may not be able to do it!" Fu Jichang frowned.

"Forget it if it's too troublesome. Aunt Song asked about it that day, and I said I would ask her!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Fu Jichang pulled her over, kissed her on the cheek and said, "It's a small matter. Let them go to the government office tomorrow to handle it!"

"Really?"

"Ok!"

"You are Princess Shanbei. If you say something in the government office, it might be more useful than me!" Fu Jichang said with a smile.

"I treasure my feathers..."

Fu Jichang: Don’t I need to cherish it?

Although Ji Xiaobei was named Princess Shanbei, she never used her privileges.

When people from the Anzhou government office came to her house to congratulate her, she turned them outside the door.

No one in the shop knew that she was Princess Shanbei.
