The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the clouds and gently falls on the earth, as if bringing a touch of warmth and hope to the whole world.

The sunlight shines through the dense woods, casting mottled shadows of leaves, forming a beautiful and mysterious picture.

In this peaceful atmosphere, Nangong Mingxuan and his party finally arrived at Jiangyang City before dawn.

Although this city is not as prosperous as the imperial capital, it also has its own unique charm.

The streets are bustling with people, and all kinds of sounds are intertwined to form a cheerful melody.

Compared with the imperial capital, people here seem to have a more comfortable pace of life. They pay more attention to enjoying the present moment and fully feeling the beauty of life.

Nangong Mingxuan and others rode their horses slowly into the city, attracting a lot of people's attention along the way.

After all, such a team with extraordinary temperament is not common in Jiangyang City.

They walked along the main street, with shops on both sides filled with all kinds of goods.

The stall owners shouted enthusiastically, trying to attract the attention of passers-by.

In this bustling city, everyone is busy with their own things, and a vibrant atmosphere permeates the air.

The shops on both sides of the street have opened for business, and the steaming buns are placed on the tables, emitting an enticing aroma.

The aroma of breakfast had already passed through the carriage and reached Ouyang Miaoling's nose. She took a deep breath and felt the warm breath.

With a "gurgle", the woman's stomach growled at an inopportune time.

Although the sound was not loud, it was very clear in the silent carriage. Ouyang Miaoling's face flushed instantly, and she subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands, trying to cover up the embarrassing sound.

Nangong Mingxuan, who was sitting next to her, noticed her little action, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a doting smile.

He asked softly, "Ling'er, are you hungry? Wait here for a moment, I'll buy you something to eat." As he said that, he prepared to get up and get off the car.

Ouyang Miaoling raised her head and looked at the gentle man in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She did not refuse, but nodded at Nangong Mingxuan with her dark eyes flashing.

"Stop!" Nangong Mingxuan shouted outside the carriage. After receiving the order, the coachman skillfully tightened the reins and stopped the carriage steadily on the side of the road. The wheels rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound, breaking the morning tranquility.

"Master!" Wushang hurried over when he saw the carriage stop.

"Nothing...you wait here, I'll go buy some food for the princess." Nangong Mingxuan's low voice came.

"Master...please go. It's such a small matter as buying things for the princess. There's no need for you to make a trip in person." Wushang dissuaded.

"No need... I will go there myself." After saying that, Nangong Mingxuan jumped off the carriage, walked quickly into a bun shop, bought a tray of buns, and then returned to the carriage.

"Wushang, I have bought all the boss's buns. Go get them and share them with everyone." Nangong Mingxuan ordered Wushang.

"Yes, master." Wushang replied.

In the carriage, Ouyang Miaoling tasted the buns bought by Nangong Mingxuan and nodded at him with satisfaction.

"Is it delicious?" Nangong Mingxuan asked softly.

Ouyang Miaoling did not reply, but directly took one and handed it to Nangong Mingxuan.

"Try it." Ouyang Miaoling said in an unclear voice with a bun still in her mouth.

Nangong Mingxuan took the bun handed over by Ouyang Miaoling, took a bite, and praised: "It's delicious."

A delicious meal of steamed buns can also enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

The carriage stopped steadily, and Wushang was heard saying outside the carriage: "Master... This is the largest inn in Jiangyang City, shall we stay here?"

"Ling'er, what do you say?" Nangong Mingxuan asked.

"Let's live here? If we live in Xuanyue Pavilion, how can those people behind us attack us?" Ouyang Miaoling said with a giggle, and then she did not forget to glance outside the carriage.

"Wu Shang, you go and make the arrangements. We'll live here," Nangong Mingxuan finally made the decision.

"Yes... Master and Madam, please wait a moment." Wushang then turned and entered the inn to find the innkeeper to arrange guest room arrangements.

Nangong Mingxuan helped Ouyang Miaoling slowly get off the carriage. When the innkeeper saw such a large caravan, he immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

Some waiters were busy leading their horses to the backyard to feed, while others were busy leading the way.

"Sir, please come this way!" said the waiter respectfully.

Nangong Mingxuan was taken to the best guest room by the waiter. After entering the room, he carefully checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger. He finally put down his heart.

"Ling'er, it's safe for now. You should get some rest quickly. Those rats will be here at night, and it will be difficult for you to get a rest then." Nangong Mingxuan looked at Ouyang Miaoling with heartache and said softly.

"Okay...you arrange for them, and come back to lie down together, get enough rest, and catch mice at night," Ouyang Miaoling joked with a smile.

“Well…Okay, I’ll be back soon.” Nangong Mingxuan nodded gently, then turned and left the room.

Ouyang Miaoling had been traveling all night and was already exhausted. She felt sleepy like a tide. She took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Nangong Mingxuan returned to the room, Ouyang Miaoling was already fast asleep. Fearing to disturb her rest, he tiptoed to the side of Ouyang Miaoling's bed, then climbed onto the bed and held Ouyang Miaoling in his arms. After holding her for a while, the two of them breathed evenly.

After noon, Ouyang Miaoling opened her eyes first. Looking at Nangong Mingxuan who was sleeping soundly in his arms, she felt a little reluctant to disturb him.

"You're awake." A man's deep and pleasant voice came from above my head.

"Sorry for waking you up," Ouyang Miaoling said politely.

"Silly girl...husband and wife shouldn't be polite to each other. Do you want to sleep for a while?" Nangong Mingxuan said gently.

"No...I remember thinking about going out for a walk," Ouyang Miaoling said.

"Okay... I will accompany you. Although Jiangyang City is not big, the people here are very wealthy and the scenery is very unique. There are also many delicious foods here. I will take you to taste them later." Nangong Mingxuan talked about the humanities and geography here with relish.

"Have you been here before?" Ouyang Miaoling asked doubtfully.

"In the years since you were away, I have traveled to every inch of Northern Qi's territory. I have also been here and lived here for a while, so I should have some understanding of this place." Ouyang Miaoling felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart as she listened to Nangong Mingxuan's casual recounting of past events.
