"Prince Pei, the prince wants to rest here for a few days before leaving." Fuqing said to Pei Jin.

Pei Jin looked at the eunuch Fuqing, the chief steward beside Prince Shun, with a gloomy face and helplessness. It had been fifteen days since they set out from the capital, and they finally arrived in Luocheng. Prince Shun had been traveling along the way, really acting like an idle prince.

"Eunuch Fu, His Majesty's order requires that Prince Shun must arrive at his fiefdom before the end of July. I'm afraid of being delayed like this..." Pei Jin said patiently.

After being out for so many days, he has only walked half of the way. It's really painful. I don't know why His Royal Highness wants him to escort this person to the fiefdom. He must be afraid that he will get into trouble on the way. Yes, once he arrives at the fiefdom, he is not allowed to leave without permission.

"Prince Pei, there should be enough time." Fuqing was also in a dilemma. Everything was fine, but his prince suddenly wanted to stay here. "Maybe Luocheng is the old royal place. The prince wants to take a closer look here. It's too late to come back."

Pei Jin thought for a while and said, "Eunuch Fu, please tell Prince Shun that the weather is hot and the journey is long, so we will stay in Luocheng for two days and must set off the day after tomorrow."

"This..." Fuqing scratched his head. Forget it. It was already very good that Prince Pei allowed the prince to stay for two days. Well, it was not Prince Pei's fault. He was a very busy man. I heard that he was still discussing marriage during this period. It was understandable that he was in a hurry to return to Beijing.

He quickly agreed, bowed his head and got into the carriage, relayed Pei Jin's words one by one, and expressed his own thoughts.

"What, he's in such a hurry?" Jing You sneered, "Didn't he say he wasn't in a hurry to get married and have children before, so that the noble ladies in Shangjing would look at him differently? Now he has fallen in love with the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang and wants to get married in a hurry. I am just not what he wants."

"Your Highness, in my opinion, it is better to have less trouble than more. After all, this person is the prince's man." Fuqing said in a low voice.

"Humph!" Jingyou turned his head away and stopped looking at him. "Go tell him that we are getting off the car now. I want to walk on the street."

On Zhuque Street in Los Angeles, Chan Yi and Mother Zhou had just finished a meal at a streetside restaurant. The hotpot chicken there was so delicious that Chan Yi was so greedy that she ate two large bowls of rice. She was rubbing her stomach and standing up to ask the boatman on the other side of the canal when she suddenly saw a group of people walking on the street.

"Who is this? He looks so impressive."

"Maybe it's an official from Beijing visiting."

"Maybe it's the prince. Look, there are dragon patterns on this car."

"The gentleman on horseback in front is really handsome. We haven't seen such a handsome gentleman in Luocheng for a long time."

"Shh, keep your voice down, look over there."

The guests sitting at several tables facing the street began to whisper.

"Mom, don't look." Chan Yi panicked when she heard the word "Prince". She quickly grabbed Mother Zhou who wanted to look outside and whispered, "Let's go quickly and be careful."

Mother Zhou came to her senses, a look of horror appeared on her face, and she just lowered her head and dared not move.

"Mom, come this way." Chan Yi called in a low voice, "Take the luggage with you, and wait for me at the back door with An'er in your arms."

Mother Zhou hurriedly walked towards the back door.

"Waiter, please settle the bill!" Chan Yi waved to the waiter.

"Let's eat here." Jingyou opened the car curtain and saw the sign of Xiangguo Chicken. He swallowed his saliva and felt a little hungry. The aroma made him salivate. He had heard that there were many delicious foods in Los Angeles, so he must try them this time.

After hearing Fu Qing's report, Pei Jin had to let the guards in charge go in and evacuate the guests. People eating here are from all walks of life, and he dared not put this distinguished prince in danger.

Before Chan Yi could pay the bill, she was pushed out.

"Sorry, sorry, we are honored guests. Please leave immediately. Today's bills are all waived. Consider it our boss's treat." The waiter smiled and drove everyone out.

"There is really no law in the world. We can't even eat in peace." Someone cursed, "It's not a big deal to be rich and powerful."

"Hush, the one who comes here is the law. Please don't say anything nonsense. We are a small business and can't afford to offend you." The shopkeeper said quickly.

"Hey, even the prefect is here. Could it be that the one who came is really a prince?"

"He's out, he's out. He really does look like a prince. Look at his clothes..."

Those diners all loved the hustle and bustle, and as they walked out, they stretched their necks to look.

Chan Yi thought to herself, "Oh no! It's all my greed that's got me into trouble. If I hadn't just walked by here and been attracted by the fragrance, I might have been on the boat by now. How could I have run into a prince? It's really bad luck."

Because Pei Jin did not tell him about his mission to leave the capital when he left, Chan Yi did not expect him to be here. It was just that when she heard the words "Prince" and "Beijing official", she subconsciously wanted to avoid them.

She lowered her head and followed the crowd out. At this time, a fat man behind her had drunk a few more glasses. Seeing that although Chan Yi was wearing loose coarse clothes, her back was very slim, he immediately took advantage of the alcohol to get a little lustful. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he stumbled over and pressed his fat body against Chan Yi's back. His fat and greasy hands rested on her shoulders and kept pinching them.

"Big brother, you are squeezing me, please take your hand away." Chan Yi only felt a scent of alcohol coming towards her nose, the man's hot and smelly body pressed against her back, his dirty hands kneading her shoulders. She held back her nausea, brushed off his hand, turned back and whispered.

The fat man was a little disappointed when he saw Chan Yi turned around and saw that she looked ordinary with a white flower on her head. He immediately shouted, "You stinky bitch, you ugly little widow, you're lucky that a man touches you."

After saying that, the pair of hands pinched even more vigorously. The people in the front who were waiting to watch the fun stopped and did not move. Chan Yi was trapped in the crowd and could hardly move.

The fat man became even more proud, and his hands became more and more dishonest. Chan Yi was so angry that she wanted to slap him twice and break his greasy hands. But she knew that this was not the time to be impulsive, so she had to swallow her anger and silently took out the silver needle from her purse and held it on her fingertips.

Seeing that Chan Yi didn't dare to say anything, the fat man thought she had surrendered, and laughed even more unscrupulously.

Seeing that the crowd was still, the guards began to shout. The people in front began to walk out slowly. Chan Yi lowered her head and followed the flow of people, trying to avoid the harassment of the man.

The fat man became even more proud, and leaned over and said, "Girl, your man is dead, why don't you come back with me? If you are good and obedient, I will let you taste the feeling of a man. Hahaha, girl, look at your figure, wow, it's really so curvy and seductive."

While saying foul language, he reached out to pinch Chan Yi's chin. Chan Yi pretended to be scared and moved aside. When other people came up, she quickly stabbed the silver needle in her hand into the man's fat lower body. She nimbly moved forward and slowly followed the crowd out of the door.

"Ah..." A pig-killing howl broke through the sky. The fat man covered his lower body and slowly sat down on the ground with a painful look on his face. The people behind him didn't know what was going on and still pushed and shoved towards him.

"Stop, someone has fallen!" When the guards realized something was wrong, the crowd, unaware of the truth, had already trampled the fat man to the ground, and he could no longer make a sound.

Pei Jin, who was standing at the door of the store, saw the whole scene. He had already wanted to take action, but he didn't expect the reversal to come so quickly. In an instant, the fat man fell to the ground.

He immediately turned back to look for the woman in the light-colored dress...
