Rebirth as Princess Jin again

The further south we go, the warmer the weather becomes. We take off our heavy winter clothes and put on light clothes, which makes us feel better in the scorching sun.

At first, Jiaoyang found it novel and was very interested in everything on the road. In addition, the food used was different from that in the capital, so she ate well and slept well every day.

But the further south she went, the more solemn her expression became.

Xiao Feng, who was beside her, also felt her unhappiness and offered words of comfort.

"There have been wars in the south all year round, and many people have been displaced. In the past few years, the situation in the south has become a little more stable, and their lives are not miserable now. Don't always take this to heart."

Jiaoyang felt depressed. She always felt that life in the palace was boring when she was well-dressed and well-fed in the palace. But now that she has come to the common people and seen the suffering, she just felt that she was somewhat ignorant before.

"I used to feel that life in the palace restricted my freedom, but now it seems that I am much luckier than them. At least I don't have to go hungry or have to run around for life at a young age."

Xiao Feng looked at her pitiful look and didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say: "So let's hurry up and try to resolve the matter in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, so that the people can live a stable life as soon as possible."

Jiaoyang nodded, rested his head on Xiao Feng's shoulder, closed his eyes and rested.

On this day, they entered the city, and Xiao Feng took Jiaoyang's hand and walked slowly.

But suddenly I saw a group of people gathered around the city gate, and the cry of a child could be heard inside.

"Mother, mother, wake up!"

The people around started talking.

"Hey...how pitiful, another miserable child!"

"Looking at their ragged clothes, they must have fled from the south again."

"This adult is dead, and only one child is left. How can he survive?"

"Yes, it's so pitiful. It's a pity that we can't protect ourselves either!"

......

Listening to the discussion of these people, it seems that no one wants to help.

Jiaoyang frowned, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Feng's arm and said, "Xiao Feng, I...I want to help her."

She looked at the little girl who was kneeling on the ground crying with pity and her voice was hoarse. Jiaoyang couldn't imagine what her fate would be if she didn't help this child.

Xiao Feng frowned deeply, stepped forward, squatted down and used his hand to detect the breath of the woman lying on the ground. The woman had been dead for a long time, and her body was completely cold.

He stretched out his hand to help the child up, wiped her tears, and asked patiently: "Where are you from, and do you have other family members?"

The child was sallow and pale, and she looked like she hadn't eaten enough for a long time. She looked timidly at the stranger in front of her, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xiao Feng winked at Li Ji. Li Ji took off the water bottle from his waist, gave the child a few sips of water, and then took out the dry food they carried with them. The child was probably starving, so he took the dry food and drank it. Put it in your mouth.

After she had eaten and drank enough, she confirmed that the person in front of her was a good person. She took a few steps back and knelt down in front of Xiao Feng, crying and begging: "Please do me a favor. I have no family anymore. I My mother is dead. I don’t want to see my mother’s body thrown into a mass grave. I even asked my benefactor to help bury my mother. I have nothing to repay. I am willing to follow my benefactor as a slave. I used to work as a horse and serve my benefactor all my life. "

Jiao Yang couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward to help the child and asked softly: "What is your name and where are you from?"

The child wiped his tears and replied: "My name is Xu Huan'er. My mother and I are from Jincheng. My father wanted to take my mother and me to the north. Unexpectedly, we encountered bandits on the way. My father died. Now, My mother also died of illness, and I no longer have any relatives."

Jiao Yang felt more and more pity for the child in front of her. She looked at Xiao Feng as if asking for help: "Husband, let's help her! She is so pitiful!"

Xiao Feng glanced at her angrily, Jiaoyang was overflowing with sympathy, they had helped many people along the way, but they had something to do when they went out, but looking at Jiaoyang's kind appearance, he couldn't bear to refuse.

He sighed and said to Li Ji: "Go to the government office here and ask their county magistrate to come see me."

Li Ji responded and left.

Soon, a person hurriedly followed Li Ji over, followed by several government officials.

When the people watching saw the official coming, they all dispersed.

The county magistrate didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, but seeing that the belt card Li Ji held belonged to the East Palace, and seeing that Xiao Feng and Jiao Yang were so noble, he didn't dare to slack off.

"I see you two noble men!"

Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "I think you know my identity, so I have something to ask you today!"

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please speak!"

Jiaoyang brought the little girl to the county magistrate and said, "This child's family has passed away. I want you to ask the adults to help with the funeral arrangements and give this child a good placement!"

Xiao Feng took out a bag of silver from his body, handed it to the county magistrate and said, "I'll give this money to you. Please use the remaining money after the funeral to settle the child. We may come back to take the child away in the future."

The county magistrate hurriedly took the money with both hands, nodded and bowed: "Yes, I don't know who you are, can you tell me?"

Xiao Feng thought for a while and took out a waist badge from his arms. When the county magistrate saw the waist badge, his expression changed and he was about to kneel down.

Xiao Feng hurriedly supported him: "Princess is visiting incognito this time, please keep it secret."

The county magistrate nodded hurriedly and responded: "I don't know that the noble man is coming, and I am not welcoming you from a distance. I still ask the noble man to give me some thin noodles and rest in my humble house."

Xiao Feng waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary. We are just here to replenish some dry food and we are about to set off."

The county magistrate did not force him to stay and watched the few people leave.

After leaving the city gate, Jiaoyang asked Xiao Feng with some confusion: "Why did my husband reveal our identities just now? Didn't we agree to keep it secret?"

Xiao Feng looked at her fondly: "If I don't reveal my identity, how can I ensure that the child will be treated well by them? She is a girl. In this troubled world, survival is not easy, and it is even more difficult for girls. If I hadn't met you, this We still don’t know what the fate of the child will be?”

Jiaoyang suddenly felt a little sad. She thought that the capital was the current situation of the world, but she did not expect that the capital was the only pure land in Xia Zhaoguo. No matter how tragic the war outside was, as long as the war did not reach the capital, those dignitaries, princes, and grandsons would It seems that I will never be able to realize how humble the people on the border live.

She used to always think that one day she could leave the capital and go out to explore the world, where she could eat well and drink hot food, but she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were after she actually went out for a while.

If she hadn't been born into the royal family, and if she hadn't been protected by Xiao Feng, perhaps her fate would have been the same as that little girl's once she left the capital.

Xiao Feng saw her staring out the window in a daze, and took her into his arms, resting his chin on her forehead, and said softly: "Don't be sad, wait until the south stabilizes, one day, this world will All the people can live a stable life. My father is a wise king, and the prince will become a wise king in the future. With such a king, there is no need to worry about the world being uneasy."

Jiaoyang tried his best to smile at him, buried his head in his neck, closed his eyes and rested.
