Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Jiang Lige never thought that there was such a story behind Fengle Village, and couldn't help but sigh.

“It would be great if there were no more wars in this world.”

This is Jiang Lige's true feelings, and it is also the goal she has been striving for.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yunxiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Lige seriously. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into his inky eyes, casting a warm yellow glow.

"The princess traveled thousands of miles to Shengling, isn't it to protect the people? Everyone has seen the princess's efforts."

Jiang Lige felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard Ning Yunxiao's words. He smiled and said, "Yes, with a man as talented as the prince, Sheng Ling and Nan Chu will all be better off."

Ning Yunxiao was stunned for a moment and didn't respond, but Jiang Lige didn't miss the flash of light in his eyes, which returned to calm in an instant like a short-lived flower.

Jiang Lige understood that Ning Yunxiao had his own ambitions, but the hardships he had endured since childhood had worn away all his confidence and pride, and also made him not easily show his emotions to anyone.

Even as his fiancée, it was the same.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige couldn't help but feel discouraged. He calculated that he had been chasing Ning Yunxiao so relentlessly for quite some time, and even a stone should have warmed up by now. It was really hard to get this person's trust.

Jiang Lige sighed silently. At this moment, the carriage suddenly braked to a stop. Jiang Lige, who was caught off guard, jumped forward and almost hit the door. Fortunately, Ning Yunxiao was quick to catch her.

Then, there was a burst of arrogant shouting from outside.

"This carriage is of unknown origin! It needs a thorough inspection! Everyone in it, get out!"

"Sir, we are the Zhou family from the neighboring county. A few months ago, our old lady came here every month to give out porridge. I think you have some impression of her. Is there any misunderstanding now?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Come down and check first! If there's nothing wrong, we'll let you go!"

"But……"

Seeing that Gu Fan was still trying to bargain, the officers lost their patience and grabbed him by the collar, saying viciously, "Don't refuse my toast and drink the forfeit!"

"you!"

Gu Fan was an impatient person by nature. If he hadn't been concerned about not revealing his identity, he wouldn't have spoken so nicely to this group of unreasonable people. Once the other party started to attack, Gu Fan couldn't control his temper anymore.

The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this moment, the door was slowly pushed open, and the two people in the carriage got off together.

Jiang Lige, who was walking in front, smiled slightly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. My servant is impatient and has offended you. Please forgive me."

In order to appear low-key, Jiang Lige did not wear extravagant clothes for her trip today. She wore a light blue skirt, which lacked her usual elegance and luxury, but added a touch of elegance and tranquility.

But after all, she is a princess who has been spoiled since childhood. Just the demeanor she has is not something that an ordinary girl can have.

This inevitably made the group of officers dumbfounded. The green-clad officer in the lead was the first to come to his senses. His eyes were almost glued to Jiang Lige, and he smiled in a particularly obscene way.

"Since you have asked for mercy, I will give you this favor and not bother with him."

The behavior of the green-clad official was truly unsightly. Ning Yunxiao, upon seeing this, stepped forward, stood in front of Jiang Lige, and continued.

"In that case, I will thank you, General, on my wife's behalf."

As soon as the word "My Wife" came out, those who knew the truth and those who didn't were all dumbfounded.

Among them, Jiang Lige was the worst. She stood behind Ning Yunxiao with her head lowered, her pretty face completely red.

The green-clad officer who had "misjudged" himself reacted, his face full of "bad luck". He pouted and quickly returned to his previous arrogant attitude, "No need for polite words! Brothers, check it out!"

"Your Excellency is carrying out military duties, so we should fully cooperate." Ning Yunxiao blocked Jiang Lige and stepped back half a step, then ordered, "Gufan, open the car door for your Excellency to inspect."

Ning Yunxiao spoke, and even though Gu Fan had a lot of complaints, he had to hold it in and agreed reluctantly.

The so-called inspection by the officials was to search through all the items inside and outside the car, and even the gold and silver jewelry of the women were not spared.

Finally, seeing that they could not find anything wrong, they let everyone into the city.

Along with the crowd was the green-clad official.

"Our Fengle Village is poor, and we are barely able to survive thanks to the Emperor's grace. The conditions in the village are not good. You have come from afar as distinguished guests. As officials, we naturally have to take good care of you."

The green-clad officer's words were polite, but in everyone's ears, only the word "surveillance" remained.

The conditions in Fengle Village are indeed poor. The only place for visitors to rest is a small inn at the entrance of the village.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the green-clad official, he immediately determined the identity of the visitor. He cheerfully stepped forward and said politely:

"Are you guests here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"

Gu Fan's face was gloomy, and he said simply: "Stay in the hotel."

"Okay, how many rooms?"

There were ten people in the group, in addition to Ning Yunxiao, Jiang Lige and their personal caregivers Gu Fan and Song Yue, there were six other people who were veterans in distributing porridge.

The servants needed at least three rooms, one for each of the two masters. Gu Fan did a rough calculation and replied, "Two upper rooms and three guest rooms will be enough."

"I'm so sorry," the shopkeeper said with a flattering smile. "Our shop is small, with only three rooms. How about you all squeeze in?"

Gu Fan was shocked, "How can so many people stay here?"

"Why not?" Just as the shopkeeper was scratching his head in embarrassment, the green-clad official stepped forward and spoke, "Aren't this young master and his wife husband and wife? Why do they have to sleep separately? And can't the remaining servants just squeeze in?"

Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige then remembered what happened outside and were both speechless.

But the words have been spread outside, and it is not good to go back on them now, so he can only bite the bullet and continue to act.

"Gu Fan, when you're out, how can you be so particular about things as you are at home!" Ning Yunxiao pretended to scold Gu Fan, then turned sideways and bowed to the shopkeeper, "Three rooms will be enough. Thank you for your help, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper responded cheerfully and asked the waiter to lead a few people upstairs. He arranged Jiang Lige and Ning Yunxiao in room number one, and the rest of the people were divided into two rooms, one for men and one for women.

The inn in Fengle Village is indeed quite shabby. Even Room No. 1 is very simply furnished, except that the bedding and other items are slightly cleaner than those in ordinary guest rooms.

Entering the room, Jiang Lige was so shocked that he didn't even feel embarrassed. "A room like this, one tael of silver per night?"

You know, one or two taels of silver per night is considered a very good inn even in the capital, let alone in such a remote place.

"You are so hypocritical! If it weren't for the kindness of our county magistrate, you wouldn't even have a place to stay!"
