Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Not only are there cars and people coming and going on the main roads, but there are also large trees planted along the road every few blocks for pedestrians to rest and get some shade. There are also stone benches lined up under the trees, and many old people and children sit under the trees chatting and playing, with happy smiles on everyone's faces.

The unusually joyful atmosphere stunned the envoys. This was just the main city on the border of Dayuan, a city that once belonged to them, a cold and poor place where the people lived. But now it was completely different from their past impressions, greatly refreshing their memories of border cities.

After a quick tour, before entering the post station, the envoys were dazzled by the endless stream of new and interesting things. Their eyes were almost not enough to take their eyes off them, so they spoke slowly.

The change is so great that it is hard for people to accept it all at once.

The receiving official smiled and said, "Just take it easy, it's not him who is in a hurry anyway."

-----------------

After several months, Lin Xiaoyue's injuries have mostly healed. Now she no longer has to be tied to the bed and can move around freely.

Although the medical conditions in ancient times were insufficient, fortunately, there were doctors Qiao and Li, and the blessing of the "White-bearded Immortal", which made her full of energy again.

Originally, she wanted to return to Xianyu Villa after the war, but the people sent out to search for Lin Lin and Chen Yi had never found any trace of them.

The Seventh Uncle was also worried about the evil spirits causing trouble at the border because the Crown Prince was worried about the evil spirits causing trouble. He thought that having her stay here would at least have a deterrent effect, so he discussed with her to let her stay for a while longer.

Although Lin Xiaoyue was not interested in being a nanny, the prince would be the next helmsman of Dayuan after all. She only needed to stay to guard against Lin Lin and Chen Yi and there was no need to do anything else. After thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

Look, I have been staying here until now.

Seeing that the two men had been hiding in the dark, she knew there was no point in just waiting there foolishly, so she thought that her injuries had healed, the border had been stabilized, and the Crown Prince and the Seventh Uncle would be returning to the Imperial City soon, so she might as well go back as well.

The Seventh Uncle and the Crown Prince tried their best to invite her to go to the imperial city to play, but there is no place like home, so Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and simply refused.

Even when the prince promised to ask the emperor to give her a higher title and reward when he returned, Lin Xiaoyue refused.

It's not that she regards money and power as dirt, but that she has the ability to make money. The several sources of income under her name bring in huge amounts of money every day, so she has no shortage of money to spend.

More importantly, if her special abilities were exposed, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from those in higher positions. Even if she had the protection of a "god", she couldn't be too high-profile.

Moreover, the imperial city was a wealthy place where the powerful and wealthy gathered in the eyes of others, but in her eyes it was no different from a den of wolves and tigers, with so many forces hiding in the dark, scheming and fighting openly and covertly.

Stirred into that messy water, how can you expect to live in peace?

Forget it, forget it. It’s so terrible. I’d better stay as far away from it as possible.

Compared to those false names, the free and easy life is what she pursues.

Lin Xiaoyue's straightforward refusal without any room for maneuver left the Seventh Uncle and the Crown Prince speechless. They said that not only was she powerful, but the guards around her were also armed to the teeth, so she could go anywhere with her head held high, so why did she need to be so cautious?

In response, Lin Xiaoyue just smiled and did not refute. Having the ability to protect oneself and always being on guard against villains lurking in the dark and attacking are two different things. She values ​​her life very much.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, the Seventh Uncle and the Crown Prince could only sigh in their hearts. Forget it, forget it, after all, they can't force it.

However, before Lin Xiaoyue left, the Seventh Uncle still tried his best to get himself and the veterans around him to live with Lin Xiaoyue in their retirement.

Lin Xiaoyue sprained her leg: Oh my God, this old guy still remembers this!!!

The prince was confused and said:...

……

When Lin Xiaoyue had the idea of ​​going back, she naturally informed the people around her. Xiaocao Chunxing got the news and also acted quickly. She got to work right away and prepared to pack up her bags with the two doctors and guards and go back together.

As a result, with nearly a hundred people, plus carriages and horses, the team was quite impressive.

Of course, the returning team of the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince's uncle was definitely much larger than that of Lin Xiaoyue and his group, so Lin Xiaoyue did not wait to walk with them for a while, but left first with her group.

The fifth day of May is a good day to travel.

Lin Xiaoyue is about to leave the border, but her contribution to the border is not small.

Therefore, countless people who had received her kindness lined the streets to see her off, holding small gifts such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, etc. produced by their own families, and rushed to her.

Lin Xiaoyue scratched her face embarrassedly. She only proposed some relevant people-friendly policies behind the scenes and only helped occasionally in their implementation.

What the people should really thank is the enlightened emperor, the seventh uncle and the crown prince who are dedicated to the welfare of the people.

Only when the top leaders truly take it seriously and jointly supervise local officials to implement each policy in a solid manner, can it benefit all the people, help them solve their difficulties fundamentally, pay attention to the livelihood of each household, help coordinate the grassroots people to improve their lives, and no longer worry about food and clothing.

Lin Xiaoyue faced the people's eager gazes and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although she did not ask for anything in return, it was always a pleasure to have her small contributions remembered and appreciated by others.

For ordinary people, even though Princess Le'an is taciturn, it is rare to see her appear in public unless it is necessary.

But the people know clearly who are the people who truly stand on their side and speak for them.

This princess who came from the grassroots was the person closest to them. Because of her suggestions, the people were completely liberated from their miserable days of lack of food and clothing and constant fear.

Therefore, the common people really like this Princess Le'an.

Now, upon learning that the princess was leaving, the people, although reluctant to see her go, still spontaneously came out to see her off.

An elderly woman, with tears in her eyes and shaking hands, handed over a basket of fresh fruits, choking with sobs, "Princess, you are our great benefactor. If it weren't for you, we don't know what our home would have become. These fruits are grown by the old woman herself. They are not worth much, but they are a token of my love. I hope you will accept them."

Lin Xiaoyue saw that the fruits the old lady brought really looked like they were grown at home, and her clothes were clean and tidy without any patches. She thought that these fruits would not be a financial burden for her, so she took the fruits with a smile and thanked the old lady solemnly.

A little boy came over, skipping and jumping through the crowd, holding a few eggs in his hands. He tilted his neck and smiled at Lin Xiaoyue in a childish voice, "Sister Princess, these eggs are for you. I hope you have a safe journey."

Lin Xiaoyue squatted down and gently stroked the little boy's head, her eyes full of tenderness.
