The princess has space, and her life turns around when she turns into a silly woman

Then, she leaned close to Shangguan Qing's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"Is this man your legal husband? Let me tell you, Princess Miaoyin really likes handsome men. If he is not your legal husband, it can help you find a good career, and it will also make it easier to find your relatives later."

Shangguan Qing almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

She hurriedly said, "Thank you for the reminder, General. It's a pity that he is my legal husband."

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled secretly in her heart. It seemed that Murong Bai's previous worries were not unnecessary.

Upon hearing this, the female general showed a trace of regret on her face and sighed.

"That's a shame, but you should hide the person so that he won't be snatched away."

Her eyes were full of concern and worry, as if she felt deeply sympathetic towards Shangguan Qing's situation, as if her husband was about to be taken away from her.

Shangguan Qing nodded gratefully and handed another purse to the female general to express his gratitude.

Her tone was sincere and her words were polite and courteous.

"General, do you have time now? I'm new here and don't really know the rules here. If you have time, could you please give me some pointers?"

Seeing Shangguan Qing being so sensible, the female general was in a good mood and smiled.

However, due to her busy military duties, she could only shake her head regretfully and said.

"Let's do it another day. I'm busy today and really can't spare the time."

Then she changed the subject and said.

"But I can introduce you to a guy who's a real guy. He'll treat you to a meal every day."

Shangguan Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"That's great, thank you very much, General."

She turned her gaze to the group of boys beside her, a hint of gentleness in her eyes.

The female general then pointed at one of the children and shouted, "Come here."

The boy who was named trembled slightly and walked towards the female general with a look of fear on his face.

He lowered his head, trembling all over, as if he could feel an invisible pressure enveloping him.

The female general looked at the boy indifferently and said sternly.

"These are my distinguished guests. You must guide them well and make all arrangements. As long as you do a good job, you will naturally be rewarded accordingly. But if you dare to neglect my guests, don't blame me for being rude!"

After hearing this, the boy's face turned pale as paper, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice.

"I dare not, I dare not. I am willing to lead the way."

Shangguan Qing really couldn't bear to witness this scene, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart.

However, when she thought about her current situation, she decided to get to know the situation better first.

In addition, it was not easy to make Dongli surrender. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she was still the princess of Dongli. She felt very uncomfortable and heavy in her heart to ask her mother to hand over the country.

At this moment, she had no time to care about too much and could only get on the carriage and go into the city.

The boy quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the front of the carriage, looking back nervously to make sure the carriage was following closely behind him.

Shangguan Qing looked at the scene in surprise and sighed in his heart.

After driving for a distance, Shangguan Qing hurriedly asked Liefeng to stop the carriage and let the boy get on.

"Gale, get someone on the carriage."

Shangguan Qing said softly.

However, the boy shook his head violently, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"No, my lord, how dare this humble slave?"

His voice trembled, and he seemed to have a deep sense of inferiority about his identity.

Shangguan Qing frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy, but more confused.

She looked at the boy in front of her and couldn't help but say curiously.

"No problem, come up, I have something to ask you."

The boy still shook his head firmly, his tone choked with sobs.

"No...no, I'm afraid of dirtying the carriage."

Shangguan Qing's heart softened, and he felt even more sorry for the child.

She couldn't help but wonder what kind of suffering this child had experienced to make him so cautious that he didn't even dare to get into a carriage.

Shangguan Qing smiled gently, trying to comfort him.

"Alright, I won't blame you. How about this? You take the carriage and drive with your brother to the inn. Then you can tell me in detail about this imperial city."

The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and slowly climbed onto the carriage.

Shangguan Qing felt a little sorry for him seeing how reserved he was, so he encouraged him with a smile.

"That's great. Zhixia, give him something to eat."

The boy was filled with gratitude and thanked the man quickly.

Zhixia took out a bag of exquisite snacks and handed it to the boy. The boy's eyes suddenly lit up with a light full of desire.

When he saw the exquisite pastries, he couldn't help swallowing and his eyes filled with tears.

He took the oil-paper package carefully, as if he was holding a precious treasure in his hands.

He gently wrapped it in oil paper, then carefully put it into his arms, covering it with his hands, as if he was afraid of losing this rare delicacy.

Shangguan Qing watched this scene quietly, her heart full of pity. She clearly saw that the child was very hungry, but why didn't he eat?

Shangguan Qing looked at the boy with some confusion, feeling it was a little strange, so he asked.

"Why don't you eat?"

When the boy heard this, his body trembled slightly, as if he had not expected that this noble man would actually care whether he had eaten.

He was stunned for a moment, then answered hurriedly.

"My lord, I have two younger brothers at home. If I eat all this, they will have nothing to eat and will starve to death."

Shangguan Qing was shocked when he heard the boy's words.

She didn't expect that the boy's family was so poor that they couldn't even have enough food to eat.

She asked again, "Is there nothing to eat at your house?"

When the boy heard Shangguan Qing's question, a trace of grievance and helplessness appeared on his face.

He lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes uncontrollably, then he seemed to realize his loss of composure, quickly wiped his tears with his hands, and then answered.

"We are unlucky. My mother died during childbirth when she gave birth to my two younger brothers. People in the village said that our family was unlucky, so our lives were very difficult."

The boy lowered his head even more, as if he were a jinx, and spoke in a low voice.

"Because we don't have mother to take care of us, Dad has to work for a wealthy family and can only come back once a month. We don't have much food at home anymore, and I'm worried that if my brothers don't eat, they will really starve to death."

Shangguan Qing was shocked after listening to the boy's story.

She couldn't imagine that there was such a tragic family in this world.

What surprised her even more was the sadness of men in a matriarchal society. Judging from the boy's experience, a matriarchal society might be even more cruel and ruthless than a patriarchal society.
