Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 229 - 176: Simple Folk with Honest Customs (Part 2)

Mu Bai was also contemplating.

His mother was also the Empress, but she had never cooked for him. She said cooking was something only lowly people would do.

Indeed, Yunyi Country was very strange.

The commoners were peculiar, the Princess was peculiar, even the Empress seemed peculiar.

However, he didn’t seem to dislike it; on the contrary, he felt a bit of anticipation, although he didn’t quite understand what he was anticipating.

After saying that shocking statement, the Princess didn’t continue to move forward. She evidently had more to say, looking at the ground and silently organizing her thoughts.

Finally, she figured out what she wanted to say!

"But my mother said the green dumplings were only for me, not for dad. Dad has gained weight recently, and it’s making it hard for her to breathe..."

"Princess!! Princess!! You shouldn’t say that!!!"

"Ahhhhh, I didn’t hear what the Princess just said; I didn’t hear it!!"

"Heaven, bless us, please make me deaf!"

"Today’s wind is quite noisy; I didn’t hear what Her Highness said just now..."

"Eh, my hearing problem is acting up again, what did the Princess say just now?"

"Haha, I don’t want to be human anymore!"

The surroundings suddenly changed from quiet to noisy; Shen Jingxian, whose mind wasn’t very sharp, was startled and momentarily forgot what she was talking about.

Hearing people continuously asking what the Princess said, she was also puzzled.

Right, what did the Princess say just now?

After thinking for a while and not remembering, Shen Jingxian gave up.

Forget it, it probably wasn’t anything important. Wen Ranchen was still waiting for her.

So, she continued to move forward.

Originally, everyone was quite afraid the Princess might reveal some royal secrets, but seeing the Princess walk forward as if nothing happened, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Life is precious, life is precious.

Lord Hidden Guard, you saw it, I have bad hearing, I didn’t hear anything!

From this day forward, although the tale didn’t spread through the Capital City, a part of the people shared a little secret. When they grew old, they would even proudly tell their descendants: Don’t look at your grandmother (grandfather) like this, I know a secret of the Emperor.

But when someone asked for details, they would never say anything.

As time passed, this became a legend, and historians studying the history of Yunyi Country often found travel notes recording a secret about the Emperor, but what the secret was remained unexplained.

This became an unsolved mystery.

But that’s a topic for another day.

Since this incident, no one dared to ask the Princess questions anymore. They would just silently follow behind her, occasionally acting as a guide.

Mu Bai had his own matters to attend to, but seeing the unsuspecting Princess, he still decided to follow her with his people.

He originally came to Yunyi Country to propose marriage to the Princess. Initially, he wasn’t very concerned, whether or not he succeeded didn’t matter. But the moment he first saw the Princess, he was indeed captivated.

The Princess was in her palace, swinging happily with the maids, laughing so joyfully. That was the first time he realized the women in the palace could be so happy, unlike his mother and sisters, whose faces always showed anger and resentment.

But at that time, he hadn’t understood his feelings. Now, with the Princess appearing before him again, he realized that her image had already been etched in his heart since that day.

This time, his proposal wasn’t so indifferent anymore. He wanted to marry the Princess.

With his future wife right in front of him, Mu Bai didn’t feel at ease letting her walk these streets alone, so he followed her.

Shen Jingxian ultimately didn’t rely on her own strength to reach the General Mansion because Wen Ranchen came looking for her.

This was unavoidable; the Princess caused such a commotion, Wen Ranchen was lying in bed playing weak, when suddenly a subordinate reported that the Princess was on the street surrounded by people, and the Princess’s condition seemed off!!

Wen Ranchen had seen such a scene before, disregarded his frail image, and immediately came with his people.

Shen Jingxian heard the commotion, raised her eyes in a daze, and before she could see what was in front of her, she was surrounded.

The people around were wearing colorful clothes and kept talking to her, now those around her wore uniform clothes and showed only their backs.

Shen Jingxian found it strange, but she didn’t ask.

There’s a saying, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make; as long as she doesn’t speak, she won’t be wrong.

Wen Ranchen looked at the Princess’s defenseless appearance and swallowed silently.
