Although Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang looked in terrible condition, there was no way to help them get a carriage, after all, the carriage was too slow.

If we take a carriage, we may not be able to reach Nanshao City today.

In the end, Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue each took one.

The road is very quiet today, and there are no ambushes or killers.

Bian Ruitong was in the front, looking for people to chat with everywhere, especially the soldiers who were accompanying them. She didn't care even if the other party was a little dull, she was quite happy talking to herself anyway.

She is the real social phobia, a social terrorist.

After rushing, they finally arrived at Nanshao City before the city gates closed.

Before everyone entered the city, they saw a group of people standing at the city gate from afar.

Wen Zhimiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman in the lead. The woman was dressed in purple and had a golden dagger on her waist.

She wore silver bells on her wrists and ankles, but she didn't look frivolous or overly seductive. Instead, she had a strange air of nobility.

The vanguard army stopped at the city gate, and Wen Zhimiao and his group slowed down and walked slowly to the city gate.

The purple-robed woman at the head immediately led the ministers behind her to kowtow when she saw Wen Zhimiao: "Your servant Wen Ke is here on behalf of my mother to welcome Your Highness. My mother is seriously ill and cannot get up. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Wen Zhimiao got off his horse, walked to Wen Ke, and helped her up with a smile: "Sister He Yue, you are too serious. I naturally understand that my aunt is seriously ill. Princess sister, please get up."

He Yue is Wen Ke's title. Wen Rongxue adopted her and asked Su Qingluo for the title for her when she was ten years old.

This title was chosen by Wen Zhimiao for her, so of course he knew it very well.

Seeing Wen Zhimiao like this, Wen Ke was a little confused.

She didn't expect that Wen Zhimiao not only did not question her nor intimidate her, but instead had an innocent smile on his face.

Wen Ke stood up and met Wen Zhimiao's eyes. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were clear and pure, not at all like what was said in the news that they were scheming.

Seeing Wen Ke looking at him, Wen Zhimiao tilted his head slightly and said, "Sister Princess, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry. I had to rush here before the city gates closed, but General Tang said we couldn't stop, so I only ate a few bites of dry food on horseback."

The grievance she expressed made Wen Ke stunned.

Shi Wanyue and others stood behind her, watching her act coquettishly towards Wen Ke.

Qi Linglang didn't know why she suddenly glanced at Shi Wanyue, but Bian Ruitong and Zheng Shu didn't think anything of it. In their eyes, Wen Zhimiao had always been like this.

She would flatter and act like a spoiled brat to any girl, no matter how old or young she was. After all, Dean Xue sometimes couldn't stand her coquetry and trickery. Many things that violated the rules of the Imperial College and should have been severely punished were always glossed over by Wen Zhimiao.

Although Wen Ke was embarrassed by Wen Zhimiao's coquettish questioning, he still smiled and invited everyone into the city.

"Your Highness's welcoming banquet has naturally been prepared long ago. Please come in, Your Highness." Wen Ke said to Wen Zhimiao with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao chuckled: "That's good."

"By the way, let me introduce myself first." After saying that, Wen Zhimiao looked at General Tang behind him and the leader of the Supervisory Council who came to protect Wen Zhimiao.

"This is General Tang. He was chosen by the Queen Mother to help me transport food and supplies. The Queen Mother always distrusts me." Wen Zhimiao muttered as he spoke.

"But it's also thanks to General Tang, otherwise I might have died last night." Wen Zhimiao complained to Wen Ke. Looking at her, Wen Ke couldn't tell whether she was really complaining casually or testing her.

"This is Envoy Jiang, the Supervisory Council's Nanshao County branch..."

"Your Highness." Shi Wanyue coughed lightly behind her, reminding her to be careful with her words.

Wen Zhimiao scratched his head and looked at Shi Wanyue innocently: "Oh, can't you tell me?"

Shi Wanyue's eyes looked somewhat helpless, and she had a vague feeling that she couldn't lead the group.

Wen Ke watched the interaction between the two and had a rough guess in his mind. He thought that the one who was planning all the way was not the little princess in front of him, but the woman behind her.

"Who is this?" Wen Ke asked curiously.

"Oh, Sister Wanyue, Master is worried about me traveling alone, and is also afraid that I will be bored, so he asked you to accompany me." Wen Zhimiao reached out and took Master Wanyue's hand, smiled at Wen Ke with an innocent look.

Wen Ke felt more and more that his guess was probably correct.

Shi Wanyue looked at Wen Ke with a slightly cold look in her eyes, but then she bowed slightly to Wen Ke politely: "Shi Wanyue greets the princess."

Wen Ke smiled at her and said, "Master, there is no need to be polite. I have heard of your name before."

How could Wen Ke not know that Shi Wanyue was the first person to pass the Tongshi after Tianqi opened the exam? She had been curious about what kind of person Shi Wanyue was a long time ago.

She had seen the portrait before, but now that she saw the real person, she felt that the portrait did not capture even one tenth of her beauty.

The two looked at each other. Shi Wanyue looked a little cold, but Wen Ke had a smile on his face, looking very happy.

Wen Zhimiao looked at Wen Ke, then at Shi Wanyue, and reached out to grab Shi Wanyue's hand: "Sister Princess, these are my friends, and they all came out for fun."

After that, she introduced other people to Wen Ke.

Wen Ke also introduced to her again several important officials behind him, and Wen Zhimiao greeted them politely.

Wen Ke then arranged for someone to take over the supplies from those responsible for transporting them.

"Your Highness, please." Wen Ke made a inviting gesture to Wen Zhimiao.

"Princess sister, just call me Yuan Zhao. No need to be so polite." Wen Zhimiao slightly curved his eyes at her, bright as stars.

There was a moment when Wen Ke even felt that it was a mistake for him to doubt her.

The group followed Wen Ke and several important officials of Nanshao to the Prince Shun's Mansion. The palace did not look luxurious, and was even not as gorgeous as the residences of some dignitaries in Yunjing City.

Wen Zhimiao looked around curiously and scratched his head: "Aunt, why don't you move to a bigger place?"

Hearing this, Wen Ke smiled bitterly: "Mother has worked hard for Nan Shao all her life. She said that there is no need to waste money and effort to move to another mansion. This place is enough for us to live in."

Wen Zhimiao was silent for a moment. In fact, no matter whether Wen Rongxue really had ambitions or not, it was undeniable that she had made contributions to the people of the Southern Country. Without Wen Rongxue, the Southern Country would not be in its current situation, and the people of the Southern Country would only live a worse life.

"Can I go see my aunt first?" Wen Zhimiao asked carefully, "I brought a few doctors from the Imperial Hospital with me, maybe they can treat my aunt."

Wen Zhimiao's eyes were sincere and his words were extremely sincere.

Meeting her eyes, Wen Ke thought for a moment: "Your Highness must be hungry after all the journey, right? My mother is sleeping right now, why don't I accompany you after she wakes up?"

Wen Zhimiao thought about it and felt that it made sense. There was no need to rush at this moment. Besides, Lu Jiaoyue and the others also needed to eat and rest.

"I didn't think it through." Wen Zhimiao scratched his head.

The smile was really silly.
