After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

Rong Jing put one hand behind his back and followed quickly.

Before reaching the gate, I saw Gu Qingzhou standing in front, staring at a row of approaching carriages. His expectant eyes looked like they had been dry for a long time and were now like spring dew.

In the car, there are fine red sandalwood furniture, rocking beds, dressing tables, beautiful screens, and various scrolls and porcelain.

Then the carriage behind was filled with medicinal herbs, such as ginseng, deer antler, saffron, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata and other precious herbs whose names could not be pronounced. The various medicinal smells mixed together stimulated Gu Qingzhou's taste nerves, and a smile bloomed on his indifferent face for a long time.

There were bags piled up like a small mountain on the carriage at the back, and the rice grains falling down were snow-white.

More than a dozen such carriages passed by. Then came the carriages carrying flour and rapeseed oil, which came one after another as if they were delivering them to the palace without regard for their lives.

Below were five carts of chickens, ducks and geese, and finally followed by forty or fifty pigs and sheep. The pigs and sheep mixed together and broke into the gate of the palace at the same time, running happily into the yard, with the clucking and bleating sounds blending together, which was very pleasant to hear.

Xifeng and other guards were all delighted. It had been so long since they returned to Kyoto, and they couldn't even see a piece of meat. They had to wait for the princess to come to the palace, otherwise they wouldn't be able to see all the food. They held their swords, drove the pigs and sheep, and headed towards the backyard.

Rong Jing walked to the gate and saw Butler Shi chatting with Butler Cao from the An Mansion.

"The prince said he was grateful for the food sent by the An Mansion, and he will bring the princess to thank them another day."

Housekeeper Cao bowed and said, "As I should. Chuntao and Qiuxiang just ran back to the An Mansion and said that the prince doted on the princess to the core of his heart, so the master sent me here to deliver her. As long as they can be happy, the master will be relieved."

Steward Shi was stunned for a moment. How could this old man lie with his eyes open? The princess is still in jail, but he doesn't show it on his face. "That's right. In the future, we will need Master An to help the prince, especially in business. The prince hasn't been back to Kyoto for ten years and has no connections."

"Of course, of course, let's take a long-term view!" Steward Cao stroked his beard, "This time, the master sent all the best satin fabrics from the An family to the palace, so Steward Shi can make some decent robes. Yesterday at the market, a few stewards said that the steward of Prince Duan's palace was dressed like a parrot, and I scolded them."

Steward Shi looked embarrassed, then burst into laughter, "Yes, I'll make new clothes right away, for everyone in the mansion. I like this green color too, so I'll change it later, so people won't laugh at me when I go out."

"Let's stop here. I will go back and report to the master." Butler Cao glanced at the roofs of the various courtyards in the palace, saluted again, and walked towards the carriage.

"Okay, see you later." Steward Shi returned the greeting, and after watching the carriage go away, he happily walked into the gate, "Quick, ask Mrs. Wang to make two sets of clothes for everyone, so that everyone can change and throw away those underpants with patches and lice."

Rong Jing looked at Butler Shi's impatient old face and burst out laughing.

Steward Shi ignored Rong Jing's ridicule and looked at Xifeng, "Go kill the pigs and sheep, we'll have something delicious tonight."

"Butler Shi, the brothers are already shaving the pigs in the backyard."

"These bastards, why don't they give orders to me? Keep the noise down and don't disturb the princess in the cell." After saying that, he strode to the backyard.

An Muxi had no idea that his father had invested a large sum of money into Prince Duan's mansion and was sleeping on the stone bed with his legs up in the air.

It's approaching evening.

She finally opened her eyes, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and found the little black dog sleeping under the stone bed.

He stretched himself, got off the stone bed, and looked at the weeds outside the cell. He realized that he had slept for two hours. The sun had already set, but no one had brought him food, and there was no intention of letting him out.

"Someone come here, I want to eat and drink water." I couldn't eat pastries anymore and wanted to eat some hot and normal meals.

There was no response, only the pig's squeals.

I shouted again, but still no one responded.

Helplessly, Mu Xi had to sit back on the stone bed, rubbing the whip wounds on his arms, watching the sunset glow in the sky fade away little by little, and then greeted by countless huge mosquitoes.

Listening to the buzzing of mosquitoes, Mu Xi became upset. Finally, he opened his bag, took out the robe inside, put it on his head, and lay down.

Not long after, he fell asleep again.

Mu Xi was sleeping hungry in the cell, but the guards' dining room was bustling with activity.

The two long dining tables were filled with guards, and two dim oil lamps were placed in the middle of the tables. Since a large amount of supplies had been delivered to the An Mansion today, two pigs had been slaughtered, so the meal started a little late.

An Yi and An Er each carried a rice bucket and added rice to the two tables.

Everyone followed the two men's actions of serving rice. When An Yi served a full bowl of rice, the guards all showed joy on their faces.

An San swallowed his saliva and was extremely happy. "Haha, I can finally eat a whole bowl of rice. I'm so skinny!" After saying that, he touched his armpit with his big hand and made a gesture of playing the piano.

"Everyone is thin. It would be great if I could be thinner once more." An Wu lifted up his clothes to show them to everyone. Every strand of his body was clearly visible, even the direction of his ribs was clear.

An Yi tapped the rice on the spoon and said seriously,

"I was able to eat a whole bowl of rice thanks to the princess. Eat slowly." After saying that, he picked up the second person's bowl.

An Wu bowed in the direction of the cell and said, "Thank you, Princess. Did you know that the food sent by the An Mansion filled up two rooms? When have we ever seen so much food in our mansion?"

An San whispered:

"I saw those small-leaf red sandalwood beds and various furniture were taken away by Rong Jing. Did they sell them for money?"

No one responded, and everyone smiled at Butler Shi who was walking over.
