equences would be unimaginable. Be careful, walls have ears." 。"What are you afraid of Sister, this is our territory." 。"Sister, I just can't accept it. Why is this fool always so lucky" Lan Feiyu wa..."We're here, just past the city gate. We've finally made it home." Seeing his long-lost homeland again, Su Ziyix's mood soared, and he couldn't help but tighten his reins and quicken his pace forward.

Huh Here already

Su Qingying instantly changed from a lifeless fish to someone full of energy, raising her head abruptly.

"His Royal Highness! His Royal Highness is back!"

Welcome back to the country, His Royal Highness!

"Your Highness! You are so handsome!"

“...”

Upon entering the city gate, one could see a sea of people everywhere. Especially the teahouses and wine shops on both sides of the streets were packed with people. Such a grand spectacle was unparalleled. Su Qingying almost had her ears deafened by the cheers of the crowd.

Quickly tell Xier to draw the curtains. Su Qingying, with a radiant smile, greeted the enthusiastic crowds on both sides, "Hello everyone, your princess is back! Hahaha, do you all miss me Actually, you don't have to be so enthusiastic, just put on a show, keep it low-key, hahaha..."

"Su Ziyi's smile froze on his face, a huge sense of embarrassment flashing through his mind!"

“...... Xi'er trembled, a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. "Ahem, Your Highness, I believe everyone is here to welcome the Crown Prince. As for you... Princess, perhaps it would be best if you drew the curtains.”

Otherwise, this slave girl is truly afraid that you will be drowned in the saliva of everyone!

"Huh Why" Not only was Su Qingying dumbfounded, but even Mo Xuan, who was secretly protecting them, was at a loss.

Xi'er wiped sweat until she was exhausted, and carefully pointed out the window, "Princess, you can see for yourself."

The crowd outside fell silent for a few seconds, then reacted with fury. They threw whatever they could find – vegetable leaves and eggs – at her, their faces twisted in rage as if they wanted to kill her!

"Get out! You shameless princess dares to come back How come you didn't die in Ximing"

"Oh heavens! How come the Western King of Hades didn't take this demon away Did he just let her back to plague us again!"

"Help! I thought this demoness went to the Western Netherworld and wouldn't be back, how is this possible"

"It's over! The she-devil is back, our good days are done!"

“......” Su Qingying quickly closed the window, not daring to open it at all. Why was reality so different from her imagination

Didn't she just say a sentence How come she's angered everyone Does she look like she deserves to be beaten up

Su Qingying was on the verge of tears, "Xi'er How could this be"

"Princess, don't you remember You once used your royal status to seize handsome men, forcefully taking those from good families. Not only did you refuse to pay for meals, but you also caused chaos in restaurants and taverns. You often fought with commoners accompanied by your guards, and even set fire to Miaoyulou." In short, her past crimes were countless, and it would take ten days and nights to recount them all!

Su Qingying was speechless. She had so many past offenses, no wonder the people avoided her like the plague. She was truly arrogant and domineering. It was a shame that the original owner of this body could have done such things.

"Sigh, the revolution is not yet complete, comrades still need to work hard!" It seems she needs to thoroughly whitewash herself. Her road is still long, before reaching the Imperial City, she'd best not show her presence.

"Princess, we've arrived at the Imperial City. It's time to get off." Shortly after, the carriage drove into the Donghuan Imperial Palace with the rest of the procession.

Finally able to get out of the car, Su Qingying couldn't wait to stretch. For the first time, she missed modern cars so much.

"Ying'er, don't take the villagers' words to heart. They didn't mean any harm," Su Ziyi said softly and gently from above. He looked down at her with concern in his eyes, fearing that Su Qingying was overthinking things.

"No, actually they're right. I was really spoiled and awful back then! I did so many wrong things, the people hating me is understandable." How could they not hate her She wanted to beat herself up too! Besides, they were just verbally abusing her, not actually harming her.

"Ying'er..." She was so honest, Su Ziyixian didn't know how to comfort her.

“But that’s all in the past,” she said, gazing at Su Ziyi with a faint smile. “I was reckless before, but I absolutely won’t be anymore. Since the people have opinions about me, I will do my best to make amends and fulfill my duty as a princess. Even if I can’t change their minds in the end, I’ll have given it my all.”

Su Ziyì beamed, "Yíng'er, you have truly grown up. Come, Father and the others are waiting for us."

"Hmm." Although she had never met her emperor father, the memory seemed to suggest that he was quite fond of her, doting on her even. Su Qingying's heart felt a little more at ease.

In the Jinluan Palace, civil and military officials, concubines, princes and princesses had been waiting in the main hall for them for a long time. Especially the emperor who was over fifty years old wearing a dragon robe, his eyes were almost eager to pierce through everything!

Su Ziyi walked lightly, and in just over a month, Su Chengming missed them very much.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Princess is here!" A eunuch's sly voice echoed outside the hall. Everyone instantly perked up like they had been injected with chicken blood, craning their necks and straining their eyes towards the doorway.

Walking into the room under everyone's scrutiny, Su Qingying followed Su Ziyi with her head held high. Her peripheral vision captured the different expressions on each person's face.

Everyone stared at Su Qingying in disbelief, as if they couldn't understand how that foolish and silly princess had changed her aura after just one trip out.

"My son has seen his father." Walking into the hall, Su Ziyi excitedly knelt down and paid respects to Su Chengming.

"Get up, get up quickly, haha, you're truly my good son," Su Chengming didn't hide his love for Su Ziyue, even going so far as to personally walk down from the dragon throne to help him up.

All the princes' faces turned pale, their eyes blazing with venomous fury as they glared at Su Ziyi.

"Hey, Fifth Sister, going out for a while doesn't mean you can forget basic etiquette! You met Father and didn't even bow Have your eyes forgotten who he is" The Second Princess, Su Mo Xue, always had it out for Su Qing Ying. Now that she had the chance to publicly shame her, Su Mo Xue deliberately raised her voice several octaves.

"Fifth Princess, this is where you're wrong. How can you say the Emperor isn't your father Even if you have grievances, you can't be disrespectful." Consort Rongde was Su Mo'xue's biological mother and upon hearing her speak, she quickly joined in to make things worse.

Hearing this, Su Qingying raised her phoenix eyes lightly, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at the smugly gloating mother and daughter of Empress Dowager De.

She just didn't follow proper etiquette, and they said she was like this. It's fine for Su Mo Xue, but what the Noble Consort De said was serious. To put it mildly, she said Su Qingying was arrogant and presumptuous, not even looking at the Emperor in the eye. To be more serious, didn't she say that Su Qingying had ill intentions towards the Emperor, harboring resentment towards him

Hmm, as expected of a woman from the harem, her methods are truly impressive!

Having been emperor for decades, Su Chengming could hear the implication in their words. Even the officials had begun to criticize her, placing her in a position of being seen as uncaring and unjust.

With a cold glare, Su Chengming truly wanted to slap the mother and daughter duo. As soon as Ying'er returned, she caused him trouble!Mansion have been arrogant these past few days, it’s sickening to look at. Today we finally got rid of this bad breath, it feels so good!” Phoenix personally poured a cup of hot tea for Su Qingying. A...
