Princess Ankang was embarrassed to find that no one except Lao Ba looked in the direction she was pointing.

The eldest prince and others stared at Princess Ankang in shock, as if they had met her for the first time.

In front of King Zheng and many ministers, he used sarcastic remarks without scruples, and his remarks were so straightforward that even the third prince, who was not very good at studying, could tell that they were not good words.

As for the parties concerned, Prince Zheng and the civil servants had already turned blue and red, panting heavily, staring at Princess Ankang with a pair of bull's eyes.

They are all well-known figures in Daxing. If a little girl was silenced today, how will they behave after the news spreads.

"You, you..."

Several people excitedly pointed at Princess Ankang, trying hard to show off and return the favor.

As a result, some of them were so angry that they could not think clearly. They could only repeat the word "you" over and over again.

Princess Ankang saw that this posture was wrong and hurriedly ran away.

"Smelly Ah Xuan, what a match this is!"

At this time, the Eighth Prince on the side said in surprise:

"Hey, that's where we're stopping today, right?"

It turns out that Princess Ankang didn't just point her finger casually, but she actually caught a glimpse of the looming dock at the end of the river.

They were scheduled to stop at Chaoyin Ferry today to rest.

Chaoyindu is a small town that mainly relies on docks for its livelihood. The hotels, shops, ship repairs and many other industries here that serve merchants are extremely developed.

Although it is a small town, merchants who come and go can get the services they need. It can be said that although it is a small town, it has all the internal organs.

As soon as the Eighth Prince opened his mouth, he did attract the attention of others.

Princess Ankang saw this opportunity and immediately ran away with Li Xuan in her arms.

She was so fast that the others didn't even react and disappeared on the deck.

"Stinky Ah Xuan, I asked you to make a blind pair!"

Princess Ankang pinched Li Xuan's butt and asked.

Li Xuan grinned heartlessly, not caring at all.

Just using a pair to ridicule those assholes is considered light.

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan and hid in the cabin in a hurry.

After all, she just complained in front of someone, and she did feel guilty.

At this time, Yu'er and Sharon came over.

"Your Highness, the ship is about to dock. Didn't you say you wanted to take a stroll in the city?"

"Yes, yes, let's go down right now." Princess Ankang replied immediately, but then shook her head: "No, please help me first to see if there is anyone else on the deck."

"If there is anyone, please wait until we get off the boat."

Princess Ankang felt guilty.

After all, Prince Zheng is an elder. Although she can relieve her anger by criticizing people in person, it will not sound good if it spreads out. If people want to settle accounts with her, she will not be able to quibble.

Although Yu'er was confused about Princess Ankang's request, she still followed her instructions and went to check the situation on the deck.

After a while, Yu'er came back and said solemnly:

"Your Highness, there are not only many people on the deck, but they are also looking for you!"

After hearing this, Princess Ankang stretched unnaturally and pretended to yawn.

"Ha~"

"It seems I didn't sleep well last night. I'm a little sleepy."

"I'll catch up on some sleep first, and then we'll go play in the city."

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan tightly in her arms and pretended to lie down on the bed.

Yu'er thoughtfully covered Princess Ankang with a quilt, then leaned into her ear and whispered:

"Your Highness, I lied to you."

"His Highness the Eighth Prince said you were so majestic just now."

Yu'er chuckled.

Princess Ankang realized that she was being tricked and immediately refused.

"Okay, sister Yu'er, you can play tricks on me too!"

Princess Ankang stretched out her hand and immediately pulled Yu'er down on the bed, then covered her with a quilt, and stretched out her hands to prepare for revenge.

The three little ones were tumbling over and over in a ball under a quilt.

Sometimes a melon head protrudes from the bottom, sometimes a few jade feet emerge from the top, and suddenly a tail protrudes from the side.

Sharon smiled and watched the three little ones playing around, and actually felt warm in her heart.

She can now somewhat understand why when she was a child and the sisters were playing around together, her master would always stop and smile.

Whenever that happens, the master doesn't rush them to practice, nor does he scold them. He just watches quietly, waits until they have had enough fighting, then wipes their faces clean, and then cuts a few pieces of sweet honey. Eat melons.

Spend time with the past, and have even more sentimental personal memories.

Looking at the three little ones playing together, Sharon suddenly had these memories pop up, and her nose felt sore.

She was too young at that time and didn't understand how happy those days were.

Later, although she became a saint, she actually rebelled again and ultimately disappointed her master.

I have been confused for many years, and I don’t know if the master is still alive or not, and whether he still wants to see her again...

Several times, Sharon wanted to ask Li Xuan to find out about her master.

But she was afraid that she wouldn't get the answer she wanted.

After all, she had been confused for so many years, and anything could happen.

Sharon's nose became more and more sour when she thought that her miserable appearance over the years had been seen by her master.

She turned around silently, wiping her tears quietly, and heard Princess Ankang's voice behind her:

"Aunty Sha, what's wrong with you?"

Sharon didn't expect that Princess Ankang would notice her wiping away tears, and quickly explained: "It's nothing, Your Highness."

"Are we too naughty?" Princess Ankang asked.

She noticed that Sharon seemed very sad at this time.

Facing Princess Ankang's concerned eyes, Sharon couldn't help but smile slightly.

The more she contacted, the more she could discover the valuable qualities of Princess Ankang.

Although this princess was in a high position, she had a warm heart that was good at caring for others.

"Your Highness, it's really nothing."

"I just watched you playing and suddenly remembered some things from my childhood."

Sharon explained.

"Is it a bad memory?" Princess Ankang asked tentatively.

Sharon shook her head: "No, it's a very beautiful memory."

"It's just that I didn't cherish it before, and now I realize the preciousness of that period of time."

Sharon's tone was full of regret.

"But it's not too late to realize it now."

"The book says that if you see good, you should move on, and if you have mistakes, you should correct them."

"Start changing from now on, Aunt Sha will become a better Aunt Sha."

"If you make excuses for yourself, you will never be able to seize the opportunity to change."

Princess Ankang's words stunned Sharon.

A firm look gradually appeared in her eyes, and she nodded heavily to Princess Ankang.

"Yes, Your Highness is right."

"It may not be too late to start from now."

Seeing that Sharon's mood was better, Princess Ankang smiled.

She suddenly threw off the quilt on her body and jumped out of the bed.

"Let's go, we are all bored on the boat."

"Let's see if Chaoyindu is fun."

Princess Ankang took the lead and was about to leave the cabin.

"Your Highness, you should tidy up before going out."

Yu'er hurriedly advised.

They had been playing crazy in the quilt just now, and their hair had been messed up, like a female ghost.

If they went out like this, wouldn't it be so funny?

Yu'er hurriedly tidied up for Princess Ankang, and Sharon also came behind Yu'er with a smile and tidied her up.

Seeing that she was the only one with nothing to do, Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan who was lying on the bed and smoothed his hair.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Li Xuan was speechless, but he also enjoyed the service of Princess Ankang.

When they were ready, they walked out of the cabin, only to find that the ship had already docked.

No one else could be seen on the deck.

Princess Ankang breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not Li Xuan, and her face was not thick enough. If she met those people she had just sprayed at this time, she would always be a little embarrassed.

"Hey, where is Ren Taizhu?"

"Isn't he going?"

Princess Ankang remembered Ren Chunsheng.

"I just went to see him, Mr. Ren is still sleeping, and I guess he won't wake up for a while."

Ren Chunsheng's work and rest schedule is comparable to that of the seventh princess.

It's just that Ren Chunsheng has been working overtime recently, and he has been sleeping a lot during the day, so this work and rest schedule can't be changed for a while.

Seeing that they couldn't go, the three little ones went off the ship with Sharon.

It was not yet noon, but the dock was very lively.

The local government received the news that the Dragon and Phoenix Royal Boat would dock in advance, so they made preparations early and sent officers and soldiers to be responsible for the supply of materials on the ship.

When they got off the ship, they only saw busy officers and soldiers, but did not see the chief officer here. I don’t know if he has not arrived yet or has been summoned by Emperor Yongyuan.

When the officers and soldiers saw Princess Ankang getting off the ship, they saluted respectfully and did not dare to be negligent.

Princess Ankang did not disturb them from working, but just nodded and went to the city along the dock.

Li Xuan noticed that someone had followed them secretly, and when he found out that it was the flowery eunuch led by Xu Lang, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There were also many people on the dock. They lived on this dock, but the arrival of the southern tour fleet blocked most of the dock, making their business much less than usual.

But even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.

The government had given advance notice that the emperor was coming today, and if there was any offense, they would lose their heads.

Some people even closed their shops in advance for a day, planning to resume their business after the southern tour fleet left, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But more people were reluctant to stop doing business for a day, thinking that they could make as much money as possible.

They saw that the business at the dock was a little quiet because of their arrival, so they quickly passed through the dock and entered the city.

Although Chaoyindu mainly relied on the dock business, the construction of the city was also good.

Li Xuan also discovered that the further south he went, the more prosperous the city seemed to be, which was completely different from the situation in the north.

But he clearly heard that there was a major disaster in the south last year, which caused huge losses, and even some places gathered rebels to cause trouble.

Now it seems that they have not yet arrived at these chaotic places.

The city of Chaoyindu is even more lively than the dock.

The people here did not see Princess Ankang get off the boat, so there was no taboo in talking in front of him.

Li Xuan pricked up his ears and listened, and found that the biggest news of Chaoyindu was still their arrival.

Everyone would talk about it, but everyone was more or less disgusted with their arrival.

After all, it would be strange if they could get a good face after blocking someone's money.

They wandered around and found an inn to eat after walking around Chaoyin Ferry.

Chaoyin Ferry didn't even have a dedicated restaurant, and all the places where you could eat were also for accommodation.

And the occupancy rate of the inn is quite high, it seems that there are many merchants coming and going.

The Grand Canal in Daxing has brought many people the opportunity to make a fortune.

Even many branches of the Money Gang are on this canal, and they are very active.

According to Chen Tan, their Money Gang started from here, and then gradually developed into the largest gang in Daxing.

Princess Ankang and her group found an inn with good business to eat. They chose a corner seat in the lobby and could lean against the window.

At the recommendation of the waiter, they ordered some special dishes of Chaoyindu.

While waiting for the dishes, they observed the movement in the store.

"Although Chaoyindu is not big, it is really prosperous. The government here should have a lot of money."

Princess Ankang has also visited several government offices and now has some experience.

The throughput of Chaoyindu Wharf is not small. Just doing various businesses can bring a lot of taxes to the local government.

After all, Princess Ankang also serves as the royal silver and money envoy, so she is more sensitive to these things.

You know, the treasury is now unable to gather enough money to fight a war. I thought that all places were in dire straits, but now it seems that this is not the case.

At least Luodong City and Chaoyin Ferry look very good, and the taxes collected every year should not be a small amount.

"Your father didn't take care of it, and I guess he can't do it anymore."

Li Xuan sent a message to Princess Ankang.

After boarding the ship, Emperor Yongyuan never mentioned the matter of catching corrupt officials again, but just kept on going.

That is to say, they will stop for supplies because the supplies on the ship are insufficient.

The first half of the southern tour is still interesting, but the second half seems to be a whirlwind tour.

After a while, their dishes were served one after another.

They were about to start eating, but they heard a voice next to them.

"Amitabha."

"Hello, benefactor. I have come here to beg for some vegetarian food to relieve my hunger. I hope you will be merciful and give me some food."

"Amitabha."

A monk suddenly broke into the inn.

When the waiter heard this voice, his face suddenly became unhappy.

They are doing business and hate those who harass customers the most.

The monk wants some vegetarian food, just tell the shopkeeper that they always have some leftovers as innkeepers, and they will give it to them. Business owners are also willing to do some good deeds to get a good start.

But this monk did not follow the rules and actually harassed the guests directly.

The waiter turned around angrily and was about to drive him out, but when he saw the burly back, he immediately nodded and bowed, and said politely:

"Master, please follow me to beg for alms, we have enough vegetarian food here."

When the waiter saw the monk's face, he smiled more sincerely.

Although he was an old monk, he was extremely burly and had a fierce look on his face, just like the angry arhat in the temple who had come back to life.

“No, I want the vegetarian meal from this donor.”

Monk Chengche pointed at the food on Princess Ankang’s table and said firmly.
