Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Later, Xu Miao and Zhou Jicheng talked about their desire to leave Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"I wanted to leave Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but I never thought I'd go to Northern Frontier with you."

After all, the news came too suddenly, catching Xu Miao off guard.

When Zhou Jicheng heard this, his eyes lit up. He was tempted. There was a survivor!

"Xu Miao, the Northern Frontier isn't as terrible as those people in the capital say. Besides the winter being a little cold, everything else is pretty good."

"There are rolling mountains and fertile black soil. When the ice and snow melt in spring, we can gallop on horseback across the grasslands. The summer weather isn't as sweltering as in the capital. When we have nothing to do, we can go fishing in the river."

Zhou Jicheng lobbied Xu Miao diligently.

"Most of the fish in northern Xinjiang are cold-water fish, with tender meat and delicious flavor. Every time we go down to the river, we catch a lot. If we can't finish them, we dry them into dried fish, which is a great dish to go with wine."

"Autumn is the most beautiful season in northern Xinjiang. In the autumn breeze, the mountains change into a variety of colors, and the fields are full of golden color."

"At that time, we went into the mountains to hunt. There were many fat pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. Sometimes we would encounter wild boars and foxes, and occasionally even black bears."

"It's just that the wild boar meat wasn't very tasty. Maybe those rascals didn't know how to cook it and ruined it."

When he said this, Zhou Jicheng reached out and wiped his mouth, his saliva was almost flowing.

The prey in the northern border in autumn is so delicious.

"Xu Miao, come back to the Northern Frontier with me. No one will ask you to kowtow or kneel there. The people there are simple and honest, and they don't live as cautiously as they do in the capital."

Zhou Jicheng almost patted his chest and said to Xu Miao, I am the second in command in Northern Xinjiang. If you follow me, no one will dare to touch you.

Xu Miao was tempted by Zhou Jicheng's lobbying. Ever since she traveled through time, she had been wandering around the backyards of various houses in the capital, moving from one house to another, without even having the chance to leave the capital.

Over the years, she almost forgot what freedom was. She longed to walk freely in the vast world, breathe the air of freedom, and feel the taste of freedom.

"I'm talking about the Sixth Prince." Xu Miao didn't know how to address Zhou Jicheng, so he said this dryly.

Zhou Jicheng was amused by Xu Miao's address. He looked at Xu Miao cheerfully and said, "Xu Miao, you can call me Brother Zhou, or you can call me Ah Cheng like Uncle Huang and the others."

Xu Miao bit her lip, as if making a decision for herself: "Acheng, I will go back to Northern Xinjiang with you."

"But can you set me free? I, Xu Miao, am an independent person with my own independent thoughts and actions."

"I am no longer bound by you and under your control. You cannot force me or compel me to do anything I don't like."

"We're, like, friends. You know friends?"

Zhou Jicheng stared at Xu Miao for a long time, then said nonchalantly, "After all this talk, don't you just want to do whatever you want?"

"In the Northern Frontier, as long as you don't commit crimes, murder or arson, I don't care what you do."

"I'm busy in Northern Xinjiang. I don't have time to see you every day. And I don't really have that friend you mentioned. I do have a few brothers who have shared life and death with me. You'll see them when you get to Northern Xinjiang."

Xu Miao pursed his lips, a smile in his eyes: "Acheng, you don't look like a prince, but more like a rough guy in the barracks."

Zhou Jicheng nodded happily, "Xu Miao, you're right. I act like a prince in the capital, but in the northern border, I'm just a rough guy with a foul mouth."

"I came to northern Xinjiang when I was a teenager, and the books I read as a child have long been fed to dogs!"

In the backyard, Zhou Chenli was teasing his fat daughter with the toys on the bed, while talking to his wife about the Sixth Prince coming to see Xu Miao.

When the lady heard Zhou Jicheng coming to see Xu Miao, she quickly asked Zhou Chenli, "Master, do you think Xu Miao would want to marry Ah Cheng?"

The lady and Xu Miao both thought that Zhou Jicheng wanted to marry Xu Miao.

Zhou Chenli stared at the plump, pale girl on the bed and said nonchalantly, "I don't think so. Xu Miao is also a man of his own ideas. I really can't imagine what will happen between the two of them."

"But Xu Miao is definitely going to leave the Dingguo Mansion. I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to talk to her about this. Let's see what Ah Cheng and the others have to say this time."

The lady also sighed secretly. Xu Miao really couldn't stay in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion forever. It would not be good for anyone if she stayed.

In the evening, Xu Miao met Duke Dingguo and his wife in the lady's yard.

Xu Miao knelt before the Duke of Dingguo and his wife. "My Lord, Madam, I promised the Sixth Prince that I would go to the Northern Frontier with him. We'll leave after the Empress Dowager's sixtieth birthday."

The lady raised her eyelids when she heard this and asked Xu Miao hurriedly, "Are you going to marry Ah Cheng so soon?"

Hearing this, Xu Miao hurriedly shook her head and said, "Madam, I don't want to marry the Sixth Prince. I just want to follow him to the Northern Frontier and live alone for a while."

"Why do you have to go to the Northern Frontier? Isn't it better to stay in the capital? Even if you leave the Duke's Mansion, you can still find a place to live in the capital and live there."

When the lady heard that Xu Miao still wanted to live in the northern border on his own, she looked puzzled.

"I have a small courtyard in the capital, and I wanted to give it to you when you leave. Also, my husband and I can't let you leave like this."

"The Duke and I have already discussed it. When you leave, I will adopt you as my goddaughter. That way, no one outside will dare to bully you."

"Oh, Duke, please say something!"

The lady was so anxious that she even told Xu Miao that she wanted to be her goddaughter. Seeing that Zhou Chenli remained silent, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

Zhou Chenli said in a serious tone, "Northern Frontier is a good place to go. It's better than staying in the capital."

When Xu Miao and his wife heard Zhou Chenli say just this, they fell silent and stared at Zhou Chenli with wide eyes.

"Xu Miao, even if my wife and I adopt you as our goddaughter, can you live on your own after leaving the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"

"Have you ever thought about whether your father, Xu Jingyi, would let you live on your own? Are you sure that Master Xu won't let you marry again?"

"Especially, you have a title that can bring good luck."

When Xu Miao heard Zhou Chenli's words, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

She had really never thought about Xu Jingyi. Considering Xu Jingyi's personality, it was certain that he would remarry.

"If your father insists on letting you continue to marry, even if I come forward in person, I may not be able to stop him."

"And more." Zhou Chenli lowered his brows and continued, "Your elder sister Xu Mingzhu is now the Crown Prince's concubine. Your Xu family has reached the center of power."

"In this center, it may seem prosperous, but if something goes wrong, it will be disastrous. Do you think your Xu family can bear this?"

The capital city may seem prosperous, but everyone is secretly harboring their own agenda. Especially now that the Crown Prince has come of age, who knows what kind of trouble will arise in the days ahead.
