Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"Princess, His Majesty is very happy that you are back. We have set up a dinner party in the palace tonight. Please follow us."

Chu Xiaoran glanced at the very respectful woman next to him. He recognized this person, after all, he was brought back by them.

"Where is the Prime Minister?"

Chu Xiaoran just asked casually, and the woman's face showed a hint of surprise. She quickly responded: "Princess, my master will also come to the dinner tonight. She is handling official business now and will be here later."

Below the steps of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was a crowd that was gradually dispersing. They had now witnessed the princess's appearance, and it was indeed exactly the same as that of the eldest prince, so everyone had no other doubts.

The eldest prince Xiahou Jingbi is one of the most outstanding men in Yu State. His fame is known to everyone in Yu State.

"Ah."

Chu Xiaoran nodded, and then followed the woman in front of him towards the palace. In fact, the altar for offering sacrifices to the sky was actually located outside the exit of the palace, but this was not the main gate, but the south gate.

Nan Jinming hid behind a pillar, watching the people in front of him gradually disperse. Then he saw such a familiar figure walking into the palace. Nan Jinming's heart skipped a beat.

Now I am in Yu Kingdom, I have no connections, and I don’t know anyone in the palace. How can I get into the palace?

Nan Jinming leaned against the pillar at a loss, watching the south gate gradually close, and he felt a little dazed.

Perhaps it was because of the busy work in the past few days that Nan Jinming was in a bad mental state. When he returned to the inn from the altar, the shopkeeper also came up to him.

"Miss, you don't look well. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Nan Jinming glanced at her calmly, then looked away: "I'm fine. Maybe it's because I just arrived here and I'm not used to the climate. I'll be fine in a few days."

The shopkeeper nodded and asked the waiter to pour a glass of warm water.

"When you get here, you must drink plenty of water. It's true that this place is also weird. You see, people from the south always feel dizzy and vomit after coming here. This is probably because they are not used to the local climate and water."

The reason why orange trees in the south don’t grow well in the north is that they can’t adapt to the local climate and soil. That’s why people in the south thrive better, but only after a long period of adjustment can people in the north stay here for a long time.

Thinking of this, Nan Jinming felt a little sorry for Chu Xiaoran. He had been living in the south. Would he feel unfamiliar with the place now that he had come to?

But fortunately, I found him, didn't I?

But how to enter the palace now? It is still a headache.

"Shopkeeper, can you tell me about the eldest prince?"

"You want to know about our eldest prince?"

The shopkeeper looked to be over fifty years old, a whole generation older than Nan Jinming, so when she was hanging around in front of Nan Jinming, he just thought that she looked like his daughter.

"I'm still quite curious. Why haven't I heard about the eldest prince of Yuguo before? How come a princess suddenly appeared?"

The shopkeeper waved his hand and sat down opposite Nan Jinming. He poured a cup of hot tea, took a sip and said patiently, "Our eldest prince is indeed good-looking. At the beginning, the country had no money, so it was often provoked and bullied by small countries from all directions. You don't know that our eldest prince does not rely on his looks, but on his skills."

Nan Jinming raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips, and became interested: "Where did you get this from?"

"Our eldest prince disdains women ruling the country. At that time, Your Majesty was his sister. There were wars and chaos in the royal family, and the legitimate daughter fought for the throne. This position of emperor caused many people to kill each other. But the eldest prince was different. He relied on his martial arts to stabilize the court for several years. In the end, he also recovered other small countries and ruled them obediently."

"Men on the battlefield?"

It was the first time that Nan Jinming heard of such a strange thing, and he immediately became interested.

The shopkeeper became more and more excited as he spoke. This eldest prince was once an unattainable figure for the Yu Kingdom. He would kill enemies on the battlefield without mercy, and would come here to claim heads and ask for rewards from His Majesty.

"What's the matter? His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince is the man we admire most in our generation."

Nan Jinming didn't expect that Chu Xiaoran's father would be such an outstanding person. It's a pity that he died in a foreign land and will never come back.

"Well, then why did he end up in another country?"

"Well, it's a long story."

Nan Jinming looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, and the look in his eyes changed from bright to somewhat dim, and gradually, his eyes were filled with some sadness.

"Why does it take so long to tell one?"

"The eldest prince fell in love with a foreigner, but His Majesty did not agree to their marriage. In the end, the eldest prince abandoned his noble status as a royal family member and eloped with that person. He has never been heard from since."
