She didn't have any silver left on her, but the hairpins and earrings on her head must be worth some money.

Princess Chaoyang reluctantly pulled out a golden hairpin from her head. This was her favorite hairpin and she would wear it every time she entered the palace.

Now I can only eat it as a snack.

The general's mansion is poor, and nothing was found during the house search. How can she still expect Gu Dingbei to buy her cakes?

She handed the hairpin to Zhang San, "This was given to me by my father, His Majesty, back then. It is priceless. I'd like to exchange it for some delicious food along the way. Is that okay?"

Princess Chaoyang's tone also softened.

Gu Dingbei didn't say anything, because he really didn't have money to buy cakes for Chaoyang. Even if he did, it was with Shen Lianxin and he didn't dare to take it out.

Zhang San took the hairpin, weighed it, and looked at it carefully. What a good thing!

Then he smiled and said, "This hairpin is nice, but it's not worth that much money. After all, we have nowhere to pawn it. If you want to exchange it for cakes, 10 of them! All at once."

After saying this, he looked greedily at Princess Chaoyang's head, which was wearing a gold hairpin inlaid with a big red ruby, which was quite magnificent.

Princess Chaoyang was furious. "This hairpin was given to me by my father on my birthday. It was made of pure gold by a top craftsman, and you only gave me 10 cakes?"

Zhang San was also angry and threw the hairpin back. "This thing of yours is valuable in the palace, but it is nothing outside. It is a famine year now, food is precious, and it cannot be exchanged for anything. Besides, you are still on the road of exile, so you can exchange it if you want."

She said she would not change it, but her eyes never left the gold hairpin.

Shen Lianxin saw it clearly and sneered in her heart. Gu Dingbei was too lazy to care about such things.

Princess Chaoyang felt aggrieved, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Switch, I'll switch."

Zhang San snorted, took the hairpin again and put it in his arms.

Wang Er and others were jealous, such a good hairpin. On the princess's head, how much would it be worth?

Zhang San signaled with his eyes, and Wang Er brought 10 soft, greasy meat-filled pancakes and threw them to Princess Chaoyang.

Princess Chaoyang saw the pancake and quickly took two bites.

It smells so good! How come this pancake is so delicious?

I ate two in one go.

When she was no longer hungry, she started crying again. She was a princess, the most favored one, and had tasted all kinds of delicacies. But now, a cake was out of her reach, and she felt lonely and sad.

But after looking at Gu Dingbei and thinking about how he had defended her just now, she calmed herself down.

For Brother Dingbei, it's all worth it.

The princess was no longer hungry. She looked at the cake in her hand, hesitated a little, but still walked towards Gu Dingbei and Shen Lianxin.

"Here, you guys eat."

Shen Lianxin was surprised that Princess Chaoyang not only gave one to Gu Dingbei, but also gave one to her.

She felt complicated. She couldn't bear to be cruel to this princess who loved her husband wholeheartedly.

This dynasty was a society of male superiority and polygamy. The princess was officially married to Gu Dingbei, so she was not considered a mistress in modern people's eyes. After all, here, it was normal for a man to have many wives and concubines, let alone a prince of such a high position and power.

She didn't blame Princess Chaoyang, she just couldn't adapt to how to get along with someone who coveted her man.

Just now, Gu Dingbei and Shen Lianxin had secretly eaten two loaves of bread and milk. They really didn't want to eat even the meat pie.

After all, the pancake is cold and I don’t know how long it has been there.

"No, just eat it yourself!" Shen Lianxin refused subconsciously.

Princess Chaoyang's eyes turned red. After such a long time, she had already realized that Gu Dingbei was deeply in love with her. If she didn't want the cake, Gu Dingbei would definitely not eat it.

She followed Gu Dingbei here, so it was impossible for her to eat well and watch him starve here.

Shen Lianxin didn't want her cake, which meant she was not willing to accept her.

"Sister, sister, we are all family, don't be polite." Shen Lianxin had given her food before, but she was just throwing a tantrum. Now that she thinks about it, she must accept Shen Lianxin, so that Shen Lianxin can accept her, and she can truly integrate into the General's Mansion.

Shen Lianxin sighed and saw what she was thinking.

He took the cake and motioned for Gu Dingbei to take it as well.

In this way, he ate two of the ten pancakes himself, gave two to Gu Dingbei, and one to Shen Lianxin, leaving five.

He glanced at the little girls, and the little girls were also looking over here, swallowing their saliva at the biscuits in Princess Chaoyang's hand.

Seeing the princess looking at them, they all lowered their heads.

After thinking for a while, Princess Chaoyang broke the cake into two halves and gave half to each little girl. This left two and a half cakes. She carefully put them in her arms.

July was a little shocked when she took the cake, because the princess was usually unruly and arrogant, and she was the one who competed with her master for the position of general.

So July always hated and was impatient with her.

But unexpectedly, on this difficult journey, the princess was willing to share the cakes she exchanged for the gold hairpin with her servants.

He took the pancake woodenly and stood there in a daze. By the time he came to his senses and wanted to say thank you, Princess Chaoyang had already walked to a tree and rested by herself.

Shen Lianxin took everything in. Qiyue looked at Shen Lianxin and saw the guilt and uneasiness in Qiyue's eyes. Shen Lianxin nodded at her, indicating that she should be at ease.

Only then did July put half of the meat pie into his arms.

As it was getting dark, they decided to spend the night there.

It was cold at night, and everyone built a fire in the wilderness.

The officers cursed.

"This is not a job for humans! It's such a pain in the ass."

Wang Er rubbed his hands, "It's just the beginning of spring, it's still cold, it's uncomfortable to spend the night outdoors!"

Shen Lianxin really wanted to take out a tent, but it was not appropriate for her to conjure up a tent out of thin air in this desolate mountain and wilderness with so many people watching.

With a sigh, he found a big tree with its back to people and placed a few modern children's crawling mats made of foam under himself, which at least kept him cool.

I looked at the little girls, all shivering in front of the fire. If they caught a cold, no one would care whether they lived or died on the road of exile.

After thinking about it, Shen Lianxin walked to July.

"lady!"

"It's so cold, take out the blanket and cover yourself up! Don't be stingy with the blanket and let yourself get sick from the cold."

"Ah?" July was confused.

Shen Lianxin took out a small folded blanket from the small bag behind July like a magic trick. The blanket didn't look thick, but it was made of wool and very warm.

Shen Lianxin spent a long time choosing in the space mall. She found that it didn't take up much space and was warm.

July saw Shen Lianxin blink and immediately understood what she meant.

"Ah! Yes, I still have a blanket. Come, Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang, Dongxiang, let's squeeze together and cover ourselves with it."
