After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

They endured hardships and ate feces, vowing to wash away the shame of the past. He wanted to tell the royal family and generals of Da Chu that they were worthy of being occupied!

Let the pampered princes and princesses of the Chu State see how powerful they are first!

Little do they know that they are about to welcome their real father...

The overlord of the Golden Triangle in the southwestern border area, Jade-faced Shura, and the overlord's daughter, the giant-mouthed greedy child.

At the same time, in Dali City, Wen Ruhai had cleared out all the refugees and drug addicts with sores all over their bodies, and had specially built an open-air prison and locked everyone up inside.

The main street was filled with a group of police officers disguised as vendors and well-dressed civilians, and it looked no different from an ordinary street.

Wen Ruhai took a look personally, and after making sure there was no mistake, he stroked his beard with satisfaction.

The sky is just beginning to clear with mist.

The clatter of horse hooves stopped. At the city gate, officials led by Wen Ruhai knelt to greet them. "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Ding and His Royal Highness Princess Chengqian. Your Highnesses have come from afar. The people of the country are anxiously waiting for you..."

However, there was no movement in the carriage.

After a while, Zhao Ying's voice came through the carriage, with a hint of anxiety in her clear and stern voice, "You know that my brother and I have come from afar, but you are still blocking the door without any eyesight? Why don't you get out of here quickly and let my carriage enter the city!"

All the officials bowed their heads and looked at each other in bewilderment. Wen Ruhai was the first to react and smiled warmly, "Your Highnesses, please forgive me. We have already arranged a hotel for you in the city. I will lead the way for you..."

"That's pretty much it..."

Wen Ruhai then ordered the officials to clear a path for the carriages to pass. The accompanying imperial guards were all arrogant and did not dismount. They followed the carriages into the city. When a carriage passed by the officials, a woman's fierce curse came from inside, "I don't know what my father was thinking, letting me come to such a hellish place!"

"When we get to the inn, I'm going to take a nice milk bath. Humph, I haven't even had a bath these days. It's so annoying!"

The officials who were kneeling on both sides curled their lips secretly, but Wen Ruhai seemed not to hear anything, with a sincere and respectful smile on his face. He was dressed in an official robe that was meticulous and neat. Judging from his appearance, although he was ordinary in appearance, he was pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Ying was observing secretly through the gap in the curtain. Shangguan Qingyue, who was held on her lap, also leaned over to watch.

Today she and Zhao Xi rode in the same carriage, with Zhao Xi lying on one side.

After entering the city gate, on the main road, there are rows of houses on both sides. The teahouses, wine shops and shops are sparsely populated. It is early in the morning and the streets have just opened. Smoke rises in the light morning mist. Various breakfasts and teas are in full swing, with a fragrant smell. Many people come and go, shuttling between them. It is so lively!

Shangguan Qingyue stared at the food shops on both sides with his eyes shining.

The reason was simple. Along the way, every time they arrived at a place, Zhao Ying would ask people to buy local specialties and snacks for Shangguan Qingyue to try. This made Shangguan Qingyue feel like he had arrived at a new place and had delicious spicy food!

[Hmm, what is that white, fat, and slimy thing? ]

[Wow, that pancake looks so crispy, I take a bite...]

【What does this fat man drink? 】

The little guy smacked his lips and rubbed his belly, hinting to Zhao Ying.

[Mother, I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry…]

Zhao Ying smiled, rubbed Shangguan Qingyue's bun, and comforted her, "When we get to the inn, there will be delicious food."

The little guy also knew not to be too impatient, so he nodded obediently.

Zhao Ying looked at the people coming and going on the street and suddenly laughed, "Brother, isn't it strange that the rich families in Dali love to eat at small shops on the street? Is there no cook in the mansion?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xi slowly stood up, glanced outside, and then sneered, thinking that these people really took them and their siblings for fools.

He suddenly wanted to hear what Zhao Ying had to say, so he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Ying looked at the people coming and going outside and said, "Look at these people. They all wear bright clothes without patches or even threads. It shows that the local people are very wealthy."

Zhao Xi curled his lips and nodded slightly, looking at Zhao Ying with more appreciation, but said, "Maybe it's the ability of the provincial prime minister that makes the country rich and the people prosperous."

Zhao Ying shook his head. "Moreover, there are many people like porters and peddlers among these people. They need to walk a lot, so their shoes must be comfortable and durable. Look at that man. Apart from other things, the soles of his shoes are so thin. The style is nice, but such shoes will cause blisters on the soles of the feet after walking for a while. And his lower body is so loose and unstable. He doesn't look like a person who walks often. A real porter should have strong and powerful legs and land lightly."

"And the tea vendor, his apron is covered in grease, but his sleeves are too new, and the cuffs have been soaked in the bowl, staining the tea. Who would drink from him? His business is too unskilled."

Shangguan Qingyue listened with a vague understanding. After listening, she looked at Zhao Ying with sparkling eyes and said admiringly, "Mother, you are so amazing..."

Zhao Ying pinched the little guy's face and teased, "Isn't this just like my son Yue'er's cleverness?"

The little guy's expression instantly became as colorful as fireworks, and he seemed a little bit unbelievable, "Really?"

"of course it's true……"

"Mom..." The little guy snuggled into Zhao Ying's arms softly and tenderly, very happy.

[I said I was the smartest, and my mother followed me! ]

Zhao Xi, who was standing by, was surprised to hear this and frowned slightly. "How do you, a princess who has been in the palace for a long time, know about these rural affairs?"

He could see it because he grew up among the people.

Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. She was too proud and unbridled to be humble. She took it for granted that she would accept all the praise and admiration from the outside world. She said, "When I was young, I went to many places with my third uncle. I know that these are nothing unusual. I have been to the desert, glaciers, wastelands, and even battlefields!"

She wanted to say that she had been on the battlefield, but then she thought that would make her seem too unstable. Although the man in front of her was her biological brother, Zhao Xi was not very lively or approachable, and most importantly... Wow, he didn't dote on her as a sister.

Zhao Xi glanced sideways at his boastful sister, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a laugh came out of his nose.

At this moment, a heart-wrenching roar came from outside, "Your Highness, I want to sue..."

Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi's expressions were startled. Zhao Ying opened the curtain and looked over, and Zhao Xi and Shangguan Qingyue followed suit. They saw an old beggar with dishevelled hair and white hair, holding a bloody petition in his hand. He jumped out from nowhere, passed a group of people, raised his neck and shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
