The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.

Song Xiaohe learned that his biological father was actually Prince Ping, and that his mother was banished to the cold palace. He hated Concubine Mu and wondered why she did this!

"Mother, why? Why did you give birth to me when you knew I was Prince Ping's child? How do you want me to survive in this palace?"

Song Xiaohe came to the forbidden area of ​​the cold palace and shouted towards the inside. His voice was crying and sad.

His own father started a rebellion, his own grandfather raised private soldiers, and his own mother helped him... There was no place for him in the palace...

Concubine Mu really wanted to hug her child, but there was an icy door between them and she could only see Song Xiaohe through the gap in the door.

"I'm sorry, He'er, mother knows she was wrong, mother is sorry for you..." Concubine Mu shouted while clinging to the door, her voice shrill.

When Song Xiaohe heard his mother's voice, he also wanted to go forward to take a look. But just as he took a step forward, the guards at the door blocked his way.

"Second Prince, you are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​the cold palace." The guard at the side said coldly.

Song Xiaohe could only stand where he was, not daring to move forward.

He took a deep look at the gate of the cold palace, then turned and left.

Concubine Mu watched her son gradually go away without even looking back. Then she slid down the door and sat on the ground, looking at the plants and trees in the cold palace.

The grass here was taller than people. In the desolate room, there were only her and her personal maid. There was no one else here. The two of them had only two quilts, which were very thin. They would definitely catch a cold in the winter.

Looking at the kitchen, it was full of corn porridge that poor people ate. There were no delicacies from land or sea, nor any fine tea.

Even the clothes she wore were tattered, with only two sets of clothes for changing, and she didn't even have a headdress on her head.

"Muxiang, do you regret following me?" Concubine Mu asked blankly.

"I have no regrets following the queen into the palace. Although life is difficult now, we must trust the Second Prince. When he grows up, he will definitely be able to rescue the queen!"

Muxiang looked certain, she believed that the second prince could definitely do it.

"Let's hope so! It's hard for him to survive!" Concubine Mu sighed and shook her head.

...Lijia Village.

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. The people in Lijia Village were busy with their own affairs when suddenly the sound of horse hooves broke the silence.

A eunuch in official uniform came to the village with a group of guards, holding a bright yellow edict in his hand.

The whole village gathered together and looked at the uninvited guest curiously.

After the eunuch dismounted, he opened the imperial edict and read aloud: "I have heard that the villagers of Lijia Village are hardworking, kind, and live in harmony. I hereby commend them. Lijia Village will be renamed Anxi Village, and it will be named the most beautiful village. All villagers will be rewarded.

In addition, Li Heming and Li Shun are both brave and good at fighting, and are specially appointed as fifth-rank generals. They will go to the capital to report to me on a certain day, and I will grant them mansions.

And Li Youran, because of her extraordinary intelligence, was named Princess, and the Princess's Mansion is located in the capital."

Upon hearing the news, the whole village was excited.

Everyone knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, His Majesty, for your grace. Long live the emperor!" Li Heming and Li Shun were so excited that their eyes filled with tears and they kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Li Youran also shouted along.

Afterwards, the messenger handed the imperial edict to the village chief and asked him to lead the villagers to express their gratitude to the emperor.

The village chief took the imperial edict, tears flashing in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "We will definitely remember the emperor's kindness and repay the emperor's kindness."

As the people from the palace left, Lijia Village fell into a sea of ​​joy.

The rewards were delivered to everyone's home one after another.

Everyone celebrated the good news and congratulated each other.

The whole village was filled with an atmosphere of joy and hope.

Li Shun's father Li Zhuang was so happy that he drank a few more glasses of wine that night. He didn't expect that his naughty son would be so successful. It really made him proud.

"Look, drink less. I'm going to prepare some things because we have to go to the capital!" Li Zhuang's wife Jiang Yuan patted Li Zhuang on the shoulder.

"Dad, drink less!" Li Shun smiled and snatched the wine from Li Zhuang's hand.

"No! I want to drink. I'm happy today. Don't stop me!" Li Zhuang waved his hand and picked up the wine bowl again.

Li Shun didn't stop him, so he let Dad indulge himself a little!

Li Youran and Li Heming returned home, both of them with joy on their faces.

"You're back! Our family now has two high-ranking officials!" Ye glanced at the brother and sister and smiled faintly.

"Mom, we are going to the capital!" Li Youran hugged Ye's arm.

"Okay, let's pack up and set off for the capital!" Ye picked up Li Youran and kissed her on her pink face.

"Mom, I'm so shy!" Li Youran buried her head in Ye's neck shyly.

"My sister is so cute!" Li Heming couldn't help but say when he saw his sister's little appearance.

Li Youran also invited his grandparents to go to the capital together.

All the shops in Qizhou are managed by Li Mingchen and Li Kunren.

Li Zhiqing also started to help with the work and together with her sister Li Zhien, they helped manage "An Xin Shui", a women's store.

When Li Kangze came back, he learned that his sister had been promoted and his third brother had been appointed General Dingyuan, a fifth-rank official.

Li Yuanbo said goodbye to his teacher and prepared to go to the capital.

He also went to say goodbye to Luo Mingchuan.

"Yuanbo, I will also go to the capital, wait for me!" Luo Mingchuan put one hand on Li Yuanbo's shoulder.

"I know you can do it, I'll be waiting for you in the capital!" Li Yuanbo knew Luo Mingchuan's personality and smiled at him.

"Boy, I find that your face can indeed charm thousands of girls!"

Luo Mingchuan said this exaggeratedly, pretending to be shy.

Li Yuanbo rolled his eyes at him.

"You are not bad looking either!" Li Yuanbo said calmly.

"Of course! Don't you see who I am?" Luo Mingchuan patted his chest narcissistically and raised his head to look into the distance.

On the day of leaving for the capital, the whole village came to see him off and gave him many local specialties, including eggs, vegetables, etc.

Today, they no longer have to worry about food shortages, and they grow plenty of surplus food that can be sold to gain more wealth.

Before leaving, Li Youran explained many matters in detail to Village Chief Li, and secretly placed a large gold ingot in every household the night before, in case of emergency, they could go to the store to exchange it for silver.

The next morning, they set out early for the capital.

There were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages on this trip, and Li Shun's family also went along.

Li Youran put many items into the space, most of which were his own servants, maids and guards.

Several guards and maids were left behind to stay at the house in Lijia Village so that they could return and live there when they were free.

When they arrived in Jian'an County, many people were already standing on both sides of the road, holding a variety of local specialties in their hands.

As soon as they saw the carriage driving into the county town, they immediately swarmed over and placed the things in their hands on the carriage.

Li Youran felt very helpless about this. The people were really too enthusiastic.
