"Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

On the streets of the Vermilion Bird Imperial City, Yi Cheng shouted as he drove a group of Emerald Spirit Pigs toward the palace.

Little Fatty, Black Rabbit, Da Bao, and many other powerful demons formed a fan shape, assisting Yi Cheng in driving away the pigs.

"Little Fatty, Little Fatty, you've left two piglets behind you."

Yi Cheng shouted and took charge of the overall situation.

This time, Xiaoyong was very generous. He almost emptied his pigsty to give it all to Yicheng. In the end, Yicheng was more considerate and only took 90% of it, leaving many piglets for Xiaoyong.

These two piglets were specially brought back by Yicheng, who planned to give them to her senior sister to raise. One is for herself, and the other is for her senior sister, hehe.

"I understand, Orange."

Little Fatty obeyed the order, scurried over and tucked the two piglets under his arm, then continued to shout in his baby voice as he diligently drove the pigs away.

"Your Highness! The Prince has returned!"

"Look, the prince is herding pigs. Let's go help him!"

The people on the street suddenly became very enthusiastic after seeing Yi Cheng.

"Haha, Your Highness, you're finally back! We've missed you so much!"

"Your Highness, I'm Xiao Li. My family owns Goubuli steamed bun shop. Do you remember how you used to come here often for buns? I was just a little kid back then. Now I've inherited my father's shop. Your Highness, please come and eat some whenever you have time, it's free!"

"Your Highness, I'm from Zhang's Duck Restaurant. You used to love our roast duck the most. I haven't seen you for decades, and I've missed you so much that I've grown old."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please come to my house! My family's pastries are very sweet."

"Come to my house, come to my house..."

The people shouted and cheered.

It can be said that Yi Cheng's popularity in the capital has reached its peak, even surpassing that of the current emperor.

The Prince of Kao Shan, a founding hero, is ranked alongside the legendary General Tianbao as one of the empire's two pillars of strength. He's a notorious playboy magnet in the capital, possessing a pure heart, deep emotions, and a willingness to help others...

In short, the prince has a ton of good qualities.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone!"

Looking at the people who kept coming to help her herd the pigs in the capital, Yi Cheng took out the King Kao Shan token from her bib and hung it around her neck. Then she waved her little hands enthusiastically and greeted the people around her.

"Haha~, the prince is greeting me~!"

"Nonsense, the prince was clearly greeting me!"

"Hehehe, Your Highness, you're as charming as ever! You're so adorable!"

"Your Highness, we love you!"

Amidst the praises of the people, Yi Cheng seemed to have rediscovered the feeling of commanding the wind and rain as he once walked the streets.

"Hmph hmph."

Da Bao saw a large, glittering golden token hanging around Yi Cheng's neck and suddenly remembered that he had one too. However, he searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Then he realized that he had left it on the mountain. So Da Bao started whining and being unhappy again.

Little Fatty was different. From the moment she saw the crowd surging in, she pulled out her "Treasure Gathering Little General" token from her belly pocket and hung it on her chest, but no one paid her any attention.

Little Fatty didn't care. He followed Yi Cheng, holding two little piglets and waving his little arms, as if the applause was also for him.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, look, those are all Emerald Spirit Pigs! A single piglet is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and an adult Emerald Spirit Pig is worth hundreds of thousands. How about we take one?"

"Nonsense! That's the prince's pig! Don't you know the prince is a glutton? The last纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) who knocked the candied hawthorn out of the prince's hand is still lying in bed, thirty years later. Don't you want to go ask him how he survived?"

"Uh... I was just kidding."

"You'd better be... Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm reporting someone trying to steal your pigs!"

"Holy crap! You bastard... I'm outta here!"

——

"Thank you, everyone! Now you can go home now!"

Outside the palace, Yi Cheng waved goodbye to the crowd with reluctance, then shouted and drove the pigs toward the inner palace.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, they saw Yaoyue admiring the flowers.

"Who dares to disturb the imperial carriage!"

A palace maid saw this and scolded her.

However, Yaoyue quickly stopped her.

"Junior Sister, long time no see! Are you herding pigs for fun?"

Yaoyue half-squatted down to greet Yicheng.

The young palace maid standing nearby looked on incredulously.

Who is the Empress? How could she possibly lower herself to greet someone else?

"Hey! Little Yue, look! The goose has prepared a gift for you!"

Yi Cheng took out two sacks of spiritual herbs from her storage space and handed them to Yao Yue.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

Yaoyue smiled sweetly. She knew that her junior sister's family had plenty of medicinal herbs, so she accepted them without hesitation.

"Oh, right, Junior Sister, yesterday a two-thousand-year-old spirit tortoise and some purple-gold quail eggs were delivered from the Northern Region. I've asked the Imperial Kitchen to make a soup for you."

"Wow! Thank you, Xiaoyue! You're so kind, Xiaoyue!"

Yi Cheng revealed her signature innocent little eyes again.

"You're too kind, Senior Sister."

"Someone, order the imperial kitchen to prepare the tortoise and ginseng soup."

"Also, prepare more pastries and store the spiritual meat. When Junior Sister gets hungry, she'll go to the imperial kitchen to eat."

After giving the instructions, Yaoyue smiled at Yicheng and said, "Junior Sister, there's a place in the West Garden with abundant spiritual herbs, perfect for raising pigs. Shall I have a servant take you there?"

"Okay, Xiaoyue."

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

With her large belly protruding, Yi Cheng drove the pigs forward in the direction indicated by the little palace maid.

"Giggle giggle..."

As the sun set and golden rays shone down, Yaoyue watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

Seriously, my junior sister's silly appearance is just too cute.

The sun sets in the west, casting a faint glow on the fading light of dusk.

The group of Yi Cheng simply sat on the grass in the West Garden and started a barbecue.

A dozen or so large demons formed a circle, gnawing on a fragrant, crispy pork belly.

"Little crocodile, where's the toad?"

Yi Cheng looked at the armored crocodile.

"I don't know. Zhu Ha said early this morning that he went to discuss philosophy with those great Confucian scholars."

"Oh, what about Da Mei?"

"It seems like Sister Da Mei is reading a book under the peach tree on the Dengxian Pavilion."

"Little Fatty, go and invite Da Mei over for roast pork, shall we?"

"Yicheng, my sister doesn't like roast pork; she likes bok choy."

As the sun set, after dinner, everyone sat on the lawn, chatting idly.

"Hey! Yi Cheng, have you forgotten why we came to Si Wu's house in the first place?"

Little Fatty suddenly sat up and spoke.

"Squeak, squeak, hit the four no's, hit the four no's!"

The black rabbit shouted and answered first.

"That's right, the geese are here to beat up Siwu and avenge Yuanbao!"

Yi Cheng's little eyes widened suddenly, then she patted her little belly and lay back down.

"Forget it, I'm full today and don't want to move. I'll go fight the four-nothings tomorrow!"

This book was reported by someone with ulterior motives and has been locked up in a dark room. Whether it will be released is still unknown. It took a year to write, and it's quite a labor of love. For a few pennies, the book is here; those who like it can stay, those who don't can leave. It's a free book to read anyway, why make such a fuss...?
