It would take eight days to travel from Xia Country to the Imperial City at full speed. It would take nearly fifteen days for their carriage to travel.

The scenery outside was really alluring. It was autumn, and the leaves were golden. Xia Nian opened the curtain and poked her head out. Occasionally, the wind blew and the yellow leaves on the treetops fell. "So beautiful."

In her previous life, Ji Qingling had never had any time to herself. Every time she heard others mention places to have fun and delicious food, she could only look forward to it and never went there.

Suddenly, the wheels of the carriage ran over a rock and the carriage jerked, almost throwing Xia Nian out of the carriage. Fortunately, Xia Nian was nimble and pulled Hua 'er to the side.

Xiao Chengzi, who was driving the carriage, was so frightened that he quivered." This servant deserves to die. I've startled the master. You'd better go back and sit down."”

"Little ancestor, come in and sit down. Hua 'er has prepared some snacks for you.”

The desserts were no longer able to attract Xia Nian's attention. The scenery outside was even more attractive. "Xiao Chengzi, can I sit next to you?”

Xia Nian asked because she was afraid that she would hinder Xiao Chengzi from driving. Ever since they left the capital, Xia Nian no longer addressed herself as this princess. Instead, she used the word 'I'.

"It's too dangerous outside, Master should sit inside.”

"I won't!" This time, Xia Nian didn't hesitate. She jumped out of the carriage and sat beside Xiao Chengzi, her two short legs dangling in the air.

He also knew that there was no point in saying more. With his master's stubborn temper, Xiao Chengzi would only be scolded no matter how he tried to persuade him. He could only let his master hold on tightly to prevent himself from falling off the carriage. "Aiyo, Master, hold on tight to me.”

Along the way, the autumn scenery in front of her made Xia Nian excited.

As night fell, the carriage turned a corner. The torrential river water that appeared in front of her almost made Xia Nian scream in shock. On the other side of the river was a city. It was built by the river, so it was called Jiang City. This land still belonged to Xia Country.

The scenery in front of her reminded Xia Nian of a poem. She casually recited," Jiang City is like a painting, the mountains look at the clear sky at night."”

Although this Jiang City was not the other Jiang City, what did it matter?

The carriage in front slowed down. Xia Zhao, who had been waiting for Xia Nian, happened to hear her reciting a poem. He could not help but sigh." Nian 'er is indeed intelligent. Good poem."”

"Brother, you flatter me. Nian 'er said it casually.”It turned out that the people of West Asia didn't know Li Bai. It seemed that he could borrow his poems as he wished in the future. Li Bai, I'm really sorry for plagiarizing your poems. Xia Nian snickered in her heart.

"Brother, are we staying in Jiang City tonight?”

"It should be." Emperor Xia's carriage was already on the pontoon bridge. It was obvious that they were going to stay in Jiang City tonight and would continue their journey tomorrow morning. "Xiao Chengzi, drive the carriage and catch up. Don't fall too far away.”

"Yes, this servant will do as you say." Xiao Chengzi waved his whip and began to speed up. "Giddyup!"

Xia Nian leaned out from the pontoon bridge and looked down. The river was turbulent, rolling down to the east, hitting the rocks and splashing huge waves.

Xia Nian had seen the Yangtze River more than ten times, but she was always bothered by trivial matters. She had never enjoyed it calmly before. This time, she was deeply shocked by the Long River.

"Master, sit properly. It will be a little bumpy when we get off the pontoon bridge.”

"Yes."

At night in Jiang City, there were still many commoners on the road.

Six carriages passed through the street, and the commoners made way for them, afraid that the horses would hurt themselves.

Outside the most famous Riverside Tower in Rivertown, several Rivertown officials were waiting. Emperor Xia's carriage turned into a small alley and went straight to the backyard of Riverside Tower. Xia Nian's carriage stopped at the main entrance.

"Xiao Chengzi, stop the car."

The city guard of Jiang City was once a fierce general under Emperor Xia. Not only was he outstanding in martial arts, but he was also talented. However, it was a pity that his right leg had been pierced by an arrow while he was protecting Emperor Xia. He could no longer go to the battlefield because of his leg injury. Therefore, Emperor Xia made him the city guard of Jiang City.

"Uncle Luo!"

"Princess, how are you?"
