How come I'm here now, but there's no trace of him...
The general walking at the front of the team naturally noticed something was wrong. He pulled the reins and galloped his horse forward.
{That Yuan Mo didn’t even come to pick up Sister Zhizhi!} Duoduo exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Zhili thought thoughtfully: "He probably doesn't know my identity yet."
She didn't even leave her name before she left, so it was normal for Yuan Mo not to recognize her since they had never met.
But she wasn't in a hurry. After all, she already had a child. When the time came, as long as she could meet Yuan Mo, everything would fall into place naturally...
{Oh! I almost forgot about this,} Duoduo said in a baby voice with sudden realization.
A moment later, the general rode back to the sedan chair, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Ahem...Princess, bandits are rampant in Jizhou. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left in a hurry last night. Before leaving, he specially sent the top scholar to welcome him. I hope Your Highness will understand," the general said with a hint of guilt.
No matter how urgent the matter of suppressing bandits was, how could it be compared to the princess's? It was obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had done this intentionally, and coupled with what the top scholar had just said, His Royal Highness had been looking for a woman since returning to the palace.
This intermarriage issue is probably going to become a bit complicated...
Now that things have come to this, he can only comfort the princess first.
Jiang Zhili raised an eyebrow: "You said the prince went to suppress the bandits overnight?"
Very good, we won’t be able to meet again…
The general nodded somewhat ashamedly.
"Forget it, let's go into the palace first," Jiang Zhili lowered the curtain of the sedan window.
The general didn't dare to say anything more and quickly ordered his troops to set off again and enter the city gate.
The bridal sedan entered the city.
Soldiers in the city cleared the way, and people were sent to guard the surrounding areas to prevent riots. Both sides of the street were already crowded with people who came to see the pearl of the grassland.
The original body was really beautiful and her reputation had long spread throughout the countries. Today, when she entered the capital, the onlookers included not only ordinary people, but also noble ladies and gentlemen.
The capital of Mingyuan was bustling and prosperous. Jiang Zhili lifted the curtain again and looked at the streets and pedestrians with some curiosity.
The passersby were already focusing their attention on the sedan chair, so she only lifted a corner of the curtain slightly, and heard gasps from all around.
Jiang Zhili's appearance has a sense of exoticism, with bright and majestic facial features, which form a sharp contrast with the gentle facial features of Mingyuan people.
It's like a dark-skinned person mixed in with the light-skinned one, instantly attracting people's attention.
"She is truly the Pearl of the Grassland, so beautiful! She is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman!"
"Tsk, after seeing the princess's appearance, I realized how bland ordinary women are. They are not even half as beautiful as her!"
"What's the point? Doesn't His Royal Highness still dislike it? If His Royal Highness doesn't like it, it's useless no matter how beautiful it is!"
"Indeed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never met the princess. If he did, I'm afraid he would never look for the woman in the portrait again!"
"Don't speculate. The woman His Royal Highness is looking for might be even more beautiful than this princess. I heard that she's His Royal Highness's destined woman..."
…
The onlookers were talking about it and couldn't help but compare Jiang Zhili with the woman in the portrait.
{Huh? Could it be that the portrait these passersby are talking about is Yuan Mo looking for Sister Zhizhi?} Duoduo's tone was extremely surprised.
Isn't this like searching for him among the crowd for hundreds of times?
Jiang Zhili touched his chin: "It seems so."
In this case, Yuan Mo's temporary trip out to suppress the bandits was probably also to protect his own safety?
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the handsome top scholar came over.
"There are so many people talking, please don't mind it, Princess," the number one scholar had a clear voice, and his handsome appearance gave people a feeling of peace and prosperity.
Jiang Zhili vaguely remembered that this man's name was Wen Jiu. He was extremely talented and was the object of competition among various countries. Because of his outstanding appearance, he also became the object of competition among royal girls from various countries.
However, this person was concerned about Mingyuan. He once stated publicly that as long as Japan was not eliminated, he would have no time to consider personal matters.
Wen Jiu looked at the gorgeous facial features revealed through the curtains of the sedan chair.
He couldn't help but sigh that with such a beautiful face, he was destined to be unhappy. It was really a joke of God. However, happiness in this world is indeed the hardest to obtain, no matter whether you are powerful or a commoner.
Jiang Zhili smiled, with a glint in her eyes: "I understand what Lord Wen said."
Wen Jiu was a little surprised: "Princess, you actually know about this humble official?"
"Mingyuan is the top scholar with extraordinary talent and brilliance that attracts all countries to compete for him. He is well-known. Although this princess is in the grassland, she has also heard of him," Jiang Zhili raised her eyebrows, and her bright eyebrows and eyes were like a whirlpool that attracted people to indulge in it.
Wenjiu tightened his grip on the reins, glanced to the side, and no longer looked at Jiang Zhili.
{Wow, this guy is quite shy!} Summarize more.
Jiang Zhili just chuckled and let down the curtain.
The team followed the street all the way to the gate of the palace.
According to the rules, even if Jiang Zhili was riding in a sedan chair, she had to get off the sedan chair and walk to the East Palace at this time.
However, the prince was too rude, so the queen had to order her servants to let Jiang Zhili enter the palace in her sedan chair.
It is now night.
She was sent to the East Palace, which was the Prince's Palace.
The candlelight flickered in the magnificent hall, making it dim and gloomy. A eunuch with a serious face stood in the hall.
The owner of the Eastern Palace went to Jizhou, and the entire Eastern Palace was supervised by this old lady.
Jiang Zhili was supported by Achan. She entered the hall in a colorful dress and saw the old eunuch standing in the hall.
"Princess," the old eunuch bowed slightly but did not kneel down.
Achan, who was supporting Jiang Zhili, looked a little unhappy. She asked, "Why are you the only one here?"
