Zhuang Li and Ge Ya were found the next day by the generals who came looking for them. The old king's worry and lingering fear made him intend to punish Ge Ya well, but he couldn't do anything about Ge Ya's soft film style. In the end, he didn't even have the heart to scold her. This allowed her and Qing You to become honorable guests of King Xiao's Palace, and also rewarded her with quite a bit of gold leaf and honor.

Zhuang Li was interested in honor. After all, she had saved her friend. But he was delighted to see the chest of gold foil and jewelry.

Since she decided to stay at the West Cold for a long period of time, she pulled Qing You along through the many streets and alleys. Although the Xiao Imperial Palace already had everything she needed, she was still in a good mood and wanted to spend some money. After all, she wasn't short on money right now.

Zhuang Li was extremely unhappy because of this, but there was nothing she could do about it. The veil for her and Qing You had not arrived yet, and Ge Ya was sent to the palace in the afternoon by the king. She then pulled Qing You out to choose a veil in the bazaar outside the palace.

The bazaar in the Banner Platinum City was not inferior to the liveliness in the capital. Compared to the capital, it had quite a few strange and weird things, such as snake fights and monkey games … Zhuang Li and Qing You were dazzled by what they saw. Before the veil could be bought, they had already bought a huge pile of strange and messy toys.

"Miss, are we really not going back to the Great Feng?" Qing You asked.

"Qing You, do you want to go back?" Zhuang Li asked

"No, compared to Zhao Mansion, this place is more like home."

"That's right." Zhuang Li smiled. This little girl's description was quite accurate.

"But Miss, the Great Phoenix is home."

Zhuang Li stopped and looked Qing You in the eye seriously, "I know, Da Feng has our mother, Lady Sun, Li Liangxiao, and Uncle Zheng …" You can't bear to part with it, can you? "

Qing You nodded obediently.

"I can't bear to part with them either." She paused, then went on

"But we still don't have the ability to find them. With our current strength, we really can't protect the people we like. However, one day, I will definitely not let the people I like be harmed. Do you understand?" Zhuang Li could only explain it this way to the young Qing You. She was different from Qing You, she had lived for more than 20 years before teleporting into Zhao Ci's body. Lady Sun, Li Liangxiao, Wang Su... The effect on her was deeper, harder to forget, and she knew her own weight better.

Just like how she treated her own mother, unwilling to see her work hard to do even more things for her. No matter how hard she worked, she would grit her teeth and work hard not to make a sound.

If she was Zhao Ci, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

At the very least, she could now safely protect this child. On the other hand, Qing You didn't understand.

Qing You nodded as if she understood something, then whispered, "I understand, I also like West Cold, I also like Princess Ge Ya and Her Highness Second Prince."

Zhuang Li frowned, "Didn't Ge Ya tease you a lot to make fun of you?" You like her? When did you learn to say something against your will? " Then he thought, "No, that's not right."

"Your Highness Second Prince? How many times have you met him? Just say you like him? Did he give you silver? Why is it not mine? "

When he turned around to see Qing You lowering her head, her face was flushed with embarrassment.

She remembered that Second Prince had ridden Qing You to the paddock and brought her to the paddock. She immediately slapped her forehead. No way!

It was too early to start a relationship like this …

Qing You, on the other hand, was already on the topic of conversation as she pulled Zhuang Li towards a veiled shop.

"It's red, too beautiful. My little body isn't as beautiful as Ge Ya's Linglong." Zhuang Li put down the red scarf recommended by the owner and shook her head.

That shop owner was a man with a mustache. He didn't give up and said, "Ever since Princess Ge Ya used her red veil to appear in front of the public, her red veil was sold out. This is a new batch of goods, and her fabric and work skills are much better than before."

Zhuang Li looked at her small, emaciated body and sighed sorrowfully at the airport in front of her chest.

She picked up another piece of green, and the shop owner began to jabber on and on. "This piece of green is also a popular style this year, with tin-foil flowers on top. Young people like it …"

Zhuang Li's head started to hurt when she heard that. She hurriedly nodded and agreed with him. "Alright, alright. I'll have that yellow piece then."

The shop owner was stunned for a moment. Then, without further ado, he wrapped it up and handed it over to Zhuang Li.

"Qing You, give me the money ~" She called out to Qing You as she walked out of the shop. Was he mumbling about whether or not he should return to the King Xiao's Palace? We've been out for so long, Ge Ya should be back by now. "

The one who came up to him was His Majesty, Second Prince, Xi Cuo. The last time they met, she was in the enclosure. She hurried to tell him about the matter regarding Ge Ya.

Second Prince, Xi Cuo, was also one of the princes who had saved his life in the slave trading ground. Thinking of this, Zhuang Li almost knelt down to kowtow to him.

"Little Li?" He also recognized Zhuang Li and hastily jumped off his horse.

After the short encounter between the slave trade field and the horse farm, she had never properly paid attention to this prince. Although he and Ge Ya had a good relationship, because of his busy government, he had not been to King Xiao's Palace as a guest.

"Your Highness, I also want to thank you and the princess for saving my life …" As soon as Zhuang Li knelt down, she was helped up by Xi Cuo.

"I'm the same as Ge Ya. I'm not that humble. Don't bow to me again from now on." He paused and then went on

"I've also just returned from seeing His Majesty the King. How about I follow you all to Ge Ya Palace? I also want to see if my unruly little sister has caused any trouble recently."

Zhuang Li naturally agreed. When Qing You walked out of the store after paying up, she coincidentally bumped into such a scene. In an instant, she lowered her head, blushing. Zhuang Li pulled her over. The two of them walked together. Beside them was a handsome young man who was much taller than them. He was leading the horse as they walked back together.

After chatting for a while along the way, Xi Cuo's personality was straightforward and his smile was sincere and brilliant. Zhuang Li liked him and Ge Ya, these two half-brother and half-sister siblings, to treat others sincerely and be kind to them. At this time, she recalled that the Wang Su she knew was also a prince.

The child's venomous tongue wasn't even a little bit, and his temperament was cold and indifferent. He leaned on her weak body, dreamt of his own mother-in-law, but he was strong enough to go to the West Cold without any guards on his body, and he could not forgive others who didn't want to save her in times of crisis.

The piece of White Moon Jade Dragon Jade that he had given her was put away. Was he still in the West Cold right now, or had he already returned to the Great Phoenix?

Zhuang Li raised her head and looked at the smiling Xi Cuo.

Although they were both princes, they were completely different people!

"?"

"Second Brother!" Ge Ya saw Xi Cuo and pounced on him first. Then, she started to cling onto Xi Cuo. Xi Cuo looked at Zhuang Li for help, but the latter shook her head with a face full of schadenfreude.

Xi Cuo went back after messing with Ge Ya. It was said that he had to rush back to Fringe City overnight.

Ge Ya began to complain

"Father is always on your side, big brother. This is really displeasing. Even the Master of the Border City has complained that Big Brother has extended his hands too far in the business world, so everything must be done with a single leg that makes it difficult for all parties to do so.

"He is probably the future king, and the entire West Cold is his. Your royal father did not suppress his greed, probably hoping that when he obtains the entire country, he can extend his lustful hand a little longer and extend his West Cold for the best."

Zhuang Li stretched out her hand to rub Ge Ya's wrinkled face.

"That Third Brother is even more hateful. No matter what Big Brother does, he will definitely agree to it. I wonder how much trouble he's involved with Big Brother's matter!"

Zhuang Li merely smiled. After all, which country's royal family didn't have such a problem? They had the right to order their subordinates to control countless amounts of money. Compared to ordinary people, they had more things to do, and they also had a greater desire, money, or power than ordinary people. There was always one thing they had to pursue, or both of them had to be controlled by this desire in order to have a war. It is in such a division and fusion that the emergence and development of human civilization, destruction and rebirth. It's all thanks to the constant movement towards a higher and better tomorrow.

Moreover, this desire would never fade away. If he obtained the throne, then the country with greater desire would have more wealth. When this desire was filled up, he would probably start to pursue immortality like the First Emperor Qin.

Then what kind of person is Xi Cuo? His desire did not seem to be as strong as Eldest Prince's, but he was more interested in the Hope Country. He was straightforward and open-minded, but he was not a person who loved to fight. Zhuang Li actually admired such a person.

"I, Second Brother, am fine." Ge Ya left this sentence in a huff.

"Good, good, good, good, good, good," Zhuang Li coaxed.

Glancing at Qing You, who was in a infatuated state, she couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Ge Ya suddenly and mysteriously whispered into Zhuang Li's ear, "Li, do you think I, Second Brother, am good? "Alright, I'll betroth him to you then."

Zhuang Li was shocked. She slapped her forehead and said, "What are you thinking?!" He couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart. Why were these children nowadays so early in age?

Then, she whispered to Zhuang Li, "I, Second Brother, was betrothed by royal father to the princess of Da Wan Kingdom. I have to go to Da Wen to help manage Da Wan Country, but I can't bear to part with Second Brother. You're a member of my palace, so I, Second Brother, will naturally live in my palace."

She was amused by her own genius idea and said happily, "I, Second Brother, will be giving it to you, I'm most assured!"

"?" Being pushed aside by Zhuang Li, he couldn't be bothered with this idiot and went back to his bedroom to sleep ~
