The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

There are quite a lot of poor people, and even though the square is very large, it is still crowded. And some of the poor people did not return because the incident happened so suddenly.

Looking at the poor people sitting crowded in the square, the bonfire in the middle of the square to keep them warm, and the food and drinks in their hands, Zeng Wenyu somewhat understood what Princess Xianglan said about the prince caring about the people. After all, not every prince would be prepared to provide these things for the poor.

For example, the place where Zeng Wenyu and his companions came in was a gathering area managed by a prince. Most of the people gathered there were wealthy businessmen and officials. As for the ordinary people and the poor working in the city, they were all arranged at the outermost edge. The temperature of the bonfire was just enough to prevent them from freezing to death. As for food and water? Those were provided to the wealthy businessmen and officials.

Just as Zeng Wenyu and the other two were looking at the barrier, a figure appeared in the center of the barrier. When Princess Xianglan saw that figure, she was very excited. Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi immediately knew that it was the crown prince of the new country.

After finding an inconspicuous corner, Mu Zhi lifted the spell that concealed the three people. The three people walked out from the corner and trotted towards the barrier.

Before the three of them got close to the barrier, someone inside the barrier immediately discovered them. Then the prince in the middle came out of the barrier with a group of people and rushed towards the three of them.

Before the two groups of people got close, the prince's voice reached the ears of the three people: "What's wrong with you three? Didn't I just order everyone to come to the square? When the prince's guards of the East Palace gathered everyone just now, why didn't you say anything?!"

As the prince finished speaking, the people on both sides had already approached, and at this moment the prince's footsteps suddenly paused, and his eyes fell on Princess Xianglan, but it only took a few seconds before he looked away.

There were subtle changes on Princess Xianglan's face that were made by Mu Zhi, and the prince quickly noticed the difference. However, because they were so similar, the prince was stunned for a few seconds.

"It's so cold, and you're wearing so little. Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?" The prince immediately waved to the prince's guard behind him. The guard handed the prince three cotton-padded jackets and said, "Put on your cotton-padded jackets first, and then follow me to the campfire to keep warm. There are hot water and hot soup being distributed there. Drink some while they're hot to warm your body."

Princess Xianglan stared blankly at the prince who was handing her a cotton coat, until Mu Zhi beside her gently pulled her, took the cotton coat from the prince's hand and put it on Princess Xianglan: "Thank you, Your Highness. The three of us were quite far away from here before, and we only vaguely heard someone say something, and my brother and sister were just getting something in the cellar, so we didn't come here immediately, and made Your Highness worried."

"It's okay, as long as everyone is alright," the prince waved his hand, "I see from the clothes you three are wearing, you shouldn't be from this slum, right?"

"We are also from the slums, but we work for a minor official and cannot wear the clothes we usually wear at home. The clothes we are wearing now were bought with money that we collected for a long time."

What Mu Zhi said made sense. The prince took a look at the clothes of the three people. The clothes were not luxurious styles, just the same as those of ordinary people he usually saw.

Following the prince into the barrier and arriving at the campfire, there was indeed hot soup and hot water being boiled, and food was being distributed. It seemed that the things the prince brought were not ordinary things. There were even a lot of cold-dispelling herbs in the soup. Those herbs were of a relatively high age, and were very effective for people in the slums.

The three of them each got a bowl of soup, a piece of bread, and found a cleaner place to sit down.

Putting the soup bowl in his hand on the ground, Zeng Wenyu patted his hood, and Xiaoxue immediately poked her head out from inside. Zeng Wenyu whispered a few words to Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue retracted her head back into the hood. A few seconds later, a black shadow jumped out of Zeng Wenyu's hood and disappeared.

The one who left Zeng Wenyu's hood was Xiu Xiu. Since he had already met the prince, Zeng Wenyu would naturally let Xiu Xiu go to meet the prince. This would also make it convenient for Zeng Wenyu and others to meet the prince later.

He picked up the soup bowl again, blew on it and took a small sip. Drinking hot soup in such a cold weather was indeed very comfortable, especially since the soup contained medicinal herbs that could dispel the cold. Even Zeng Wenyu, who had innate fire to dispel the cold, felt his body warmed up after the hot soup entered his body.

The three of them just sat there and watched. The prince kept directing the prince's guards to add firewood to the bonfire. At the same time, he glanced in the direction where the new emperor left from time to time. It seemed that he was worried as well.

Soon it was getting dark. Because of the bonfire in the square, no one felt too cold. The prince ordered his guards to give blankets to everyone. At the same time, many tents were built in the square. The poor people naturally did not feel that the tents were crowded, and since men and women were separated, there was no need to worry about anything happening when they lived together. After taking their blankets, everyone walked into the tents and rested peacefully.

Looking at the crowded tent, Zeng Wenyu himself didn't care, but Mu Zhi and Princess Xianglan beside him had ugly looks on their faces. The two of them could hardly walk when they looked at the crowded tent.

Zeng Wenyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since you don't want to go over, then let's just wait here for a while. The Sniff has been released to contact the prince. If it's not lying, I believe the prince will come out to find us soon."

Mu Zhi and Princess Xianglan nodded. Their physiques were not afraid of the cold. Even though Princess Xianglan's cultivation was not very high, she had the blood of the Black Dragon in her body, so she was not afraid of the heavy snow and cold.

The poor people in the tents had already fallen asleep in the huddle. At this moment, the prince's tent was suddenly opened from the inside. The prince rushed out of the tent in a hurry. After looking around, he immediately ran towards Zeng Wenyu and the other two.

"Little sister?" The prince came running over and lowered his voice, but even the lower his voice could not cover up the excitement in his voice, "Little sister, is it really you? Big brother, I, big brother, I..."

Princess Xianglan wanted to recognize the prince immediately, but Zeng Wenyu stood up and walked to the prince to stop the excited prince and Princess Xianglan: "Your Highness, this is not the place to talk about things. You know how and where Xianglan got into trouble."

"Yes..." The prince replied in a low voice, "Ahem, why don't you three go to the tent to rest?"

"Your Highness, we three have no other clothes. If this set of clothes gets dirty, we won't be able to buy a new one..."

"That's right. You are all working outside. In that case, come to my tent first. I will have someone prepare a place for you to rest."
