The nearby town that Jiafei mentioned is called Linwu, which is also a water town, of medium size and quite prosperous.

Linwuduo is a small town with stilted buildings, arched bridges, and small houses. Because it is not a big place, the people here live a relatively carefree life without many rules. You can often see brightly dressed young women on the streets.

The streets are lined with all sorts of unique stalls, and the aromas of various delicacies mingle with the damp fog and the fragrance of women's cosmetics, creating a cacophony that is full of life.

This was Ji Fengyao's first time shopping in this world, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

With lively magpies chirping nearby and two little maids, Lin Shuang and Bai Lu, adding to the fun, the four of them visited almost every stall and had an incredibly enjoyable time.

Consort Jia rolled her eyes as she watched from behind: These ignorant bandits are nothing but vulgar bastards, yet she's so pleased with them.

Before long, the three girls were carrying large and small bags.

Ji Fengyao bought two more bags of pastries, glanced back at the three maids' busy hands, and then looked at Shang Xiye, who was sitting in a wheelchair not far behind her.

Shang Xiye: "!" Don't look at me, I refuse!

Ji Fengyao strode back, her smile lively, cute, and innocent: "Your Highness, this pastry is delicious! I think you'll love it. Here, take it and enjoy it slowly when you get back."

Having said that, with a whoosh, two packets of pastries flew straight into the prince's arms.

Shang Xiye: "..."

Looking around at the pedestrians walking back and forth on the street, she held two bags of pastries in her fair and slender fingers, looking utterly dejected.

I really want to throw it away, but I'm afraid my wife will get angry. What should I do? I need help urgently.

"Your Highness, how can you let the Prince take things?" Consort Jia couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke softly, barely suppressing her anger.

Ji Fengyao had just turned around to continue shopping when she heard this and suddenly turned back: "The things I bought for the Prince, of course the Prince should keep them himself. Do you want them? If you want them, buy them yourself. You, the dignified Princess of Nanli, surely don't even have the money to buy a piece of cake?"

Consort Jia: "!" Ignorant bandits, can they even understand human language!

Consort Jin smiled gently and said to Zhuoya beside her, "Zhuoya, go and buy two packs for me and Consort Jia."

"Yes," Zoya replied obediently, and sure enough, she went to the nearby stall and bought two identical bags of pastries.

Consort Jin took one of the packages and handed it to Consort Jia in a very kind and friendly manner: "Sister, here you go."

Consort Jia: "!!!"

Sister my ass, get lost! I'm rich! Rich!! Rich!!

Ji Fengyao, who had already turned around, shrugged and suppressed a laugh. She hadn't realized that Consort Jin was also a master at insulting people.

This ally is good.

The boat was moored in thick fog. Not only did Ji Fengyao and her group disembark, but many young masters and ladies who enjoyed lively gatherings also disembarked to stroll around.

Zhang Wanyun's father was not of high enough rank to come, but Chen Ziying was afraid of being lonely on the journey, so she asked the Empress for a favor and brought Zhang Wanyun along.

The two men, each accompanied by their maids, were strolling along the street with great interest when they suddenly bumped into two people.

It was Xue Mingtao and Yuan Zhisheng.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, why have you been ignoring me lately? What did I do to offend you?" Xue Mingtao asked, chasing after Yuan Zhisheng with a folding fan in hand.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent, his face grim. He walked up to Zhang Wanyun and Chen Ziying, his eyes lingering on Zhang Wanyun. His expression darkened, and after a pause, he was about to leave when Xue Mingtao, who had been chasing after him, grabbed him.
