I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

Qi Yanchuan watched the boat sail away and thought to himself, taking the family out for a trip could be described as being put in a water dungeon. Only she could do that.

Shen Ying's boat had been away from the shore for half a day before someone came to the village to inquire about her whereabouts.

After learning that Shen Ying had left with her parents and servants, the soldiers who came to the village arrested the other two branches of the Shen family: "If you don't tell us where she is, don't blame us for being rude."

The third branch of the Shen family confessed immediately and said that they were heading towards the beach.

When the group of people arrived at the beach, they could only see Shen Ying leaving by boat, and they couldn't help but hold their foreheads.

Qi Yanchuan asked the other party what was going on. The other party obviously didn't know that Qi Yanchuan was the 'husband' of Shen Ying's poisonous fan. After a few complaints, Qi Yanchuan knew that Shen Ying had offended the Cai family and was looking for trouble.

No wonder it runs so fast.

However, the other party must have made some difficult requests, or did something that Shen Ying could not accept, so she wanted to avoid him.

Shen Ying is very good at seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

Qi Yanchuan sighed and told these soldiers about Shen Ying's status in the eyes of the prince and the general, as well as the food and fodder they had raised for them some time ago. The amount raised by Shen Ying personally was definitely the bulk of it.

Those soldiers naturally knew the name of Shopkeeper Shen, but for some purpose, the prince only mentioned Shopkeeper Shen and did not specifically say that she was a woman. The low-level soldiers always thought that it was a male shopkeeper.

Now that Shopkeeper Shen knew that he was collecting food for them, he felt a little weird for a moment.

In fact, even though the queen is a high and mighty figure to them, the way she does things is not grand enough and is a bit... How to put it, she is acting like an emperor before she even becomes king, as if this is the only way to highlight her status.

There is still a big battle going on in the front, but they are trying to make trouble for Manager Shen now. Aren't they afraid of affecting major events?

The soldiers had already left, but returned a few days later with a different attitude. In addition to releasing the two branches of the Shen family who were detained, they also took the initiative to speak well of Qi Yanchuan.

They probably thought that Qi Yanchuan, their husband, could find Shen Ying at any time, and could decide Shen Ying's subsequent behavior and influence her thoughts.

But only Qi Yanchuan knew that with Shen Ying, he had no other identity except that of a time traveler.

Facing their expectations, Qi Yanchuan could only pretend to be mysterious and say, "When the time comes, she will show up."

A few days later, Empress Cai came in person. There was no reluctance on her face, but a closer look revealed that her eyes were slightly red. It looked like she had cried a lot, but she still had to pretend to be calm and come to Shen Ying to apologize.

After Shen Ying left, Empress Cai was still angry at first and was planning to make things difficult for Shen Ying.

Two days later, some soldiers who came to protect her were found to bring Shen Ying here. However, she was not brought back and she ran away on a boat, so there was no place to find her.

The people around Empress Cai figured out the emperor's intentions and deliberately tortured the two branches of the Shen family. They gave them one meal a day and put them in cells infested with rats and bedbugs. At this time, the general came back to find Shen Ying, and after learning about this...

It was obvious afterwards that Empress Cai was scolded by the prince through a verbal message.

If Shen Ying is not invited back and treated well, Empress Cai will probably have an extra 'sister boss' above her.

Qi Yanchuan really didn't know where Shen Ying was going, and her return date was uncertain, which made Empress Cai very upset. She went back crying to report that she had come to look for her.

Compared to the chaos here, Shen Ying happily ate, drank, fished, and enjoyed the sea breeze. When passing by the shore, he would camp if there was no risk. Without the pressure of missions, Shen Ying played around and lived on an ownerless island for a few days.

At night, Shen Ying was leaning on a bench on the deck looking at the stars. Suddenly, two people stood beside her. She took a glance and saw that they were her parents.

"Yingying, haven't we been out for too long? No one is taking care of the winery, vinegar and cooking on the island."

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows, listened to the two people talking back and forth, and understood what they meant.

Mom and Dad want to go back.

Shen Ying looked at the two of them intently.

She didn't feel that she belonged to this land at all, but because she felt that this was the future China, she felt more attached to it. She also missed it because she hadn't had her loved ones around for a long time. Otherwise, she would be more willing to go out more and live just for her own feelings.

After wandering around for so long, she suddenly figured something out.

It would be too fake to say how much she loved her parents. The touch she felt at that time was real, and the warm atmosphere she usually felt was also real, but Shen Ying knew that this could not last a lifetime.

Sooner or later, she would have disagreements due to different ideas and clashes in interpersonal relationships. She suddenly had an idea that if she continued to use her own ideas and standards for high quality of life to frame Shen Youtian and his wife, one day in the future, their relationship might drift apart, or even get worse.

She suddenly felt her mind become clear, as if something invisible that was imprisoning her began to emerge and was then grasped by her.

"Okay, let's go back." Shen Ying heard herself say this.

After seven days, the ship arrived at the shore.

Qi Yanchuan used to look at the shore every day. When he saw the familiar boat coming back, he felt as if he was in another world and walked forward to meet it.

Shen Ying got off the boat and said hello to Qi Yanchuan. "I'm back."

Qi Yanchuan smiled and was about to greet them when he heard Shen Ying ordering people to send the Shen couple back first, but she herself stayed.

When Qi Yanchuan saw the Shen couple happily saying that a short separation is better than a new marriage and that they should get along well, he couldn't wait to leave and turned back to look at Shen Ying.

Did something unpleasant happen during this trip?

Why does it feel like Shen Ying’s relationship with his parents is different?

Shen Ying did not explain. Although she stayed, she did not live in the gathering place but continued to live on the boat. It was not until the prince needed food again that Shen Ying broke away from that casual life and became active.

After two voyages, the food Shen Ying brought back helped the prince become emperor. In addition to Hainan, he also captured several important cities. The original emperor ceded six cities in exchange for the new emperor's agreement to temporarily cease fire.

After all, if the war continues, both sides will not have enough food and grass. If the war is too brutal, the country's vitality will be difficult to recover, which will be disadvantageous to both sides.

What would a leader who had won a battle do? Naturally, he would reward people according to their merits. Shen Ying received all the money owed for grain in one lump sum, as well as a wharf and the jurisdiction of the town where he lived. The land under Shen Ying's name did not have to pay taxes for twenty years.

In addition, Shen Ying also received a plaque that read "No. 1 Merchant in the World" and became a royal merchant. Wine and vinegar became offerings.

This reward caused a sensation in the whole village.

Many people don't think that the prince can succeed in one fell swoop. On weekdays? Seeing the Shen family busy all day long, they still think that people with ability should really work harder. In a blink of an eye, their family has become a royal merchant.
