Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

She pouted, shaking the prince's arm with her left hand while using her right hand to put food into her mouth with chopsticks.

"Your Highness, Ji Yunshu has gone too far! How could she distribute all your things to those villagers? There's no village or shop in sight, and no food. What are we going to eat on the road?"

"Your Highness, you must quickly find a way to get Ji Yunshu to retrieve some grain. We need to, we need to, hold out until we reach the next town."

She didn't know how far the next town was, but the lessons she had learned along the way told her that she must have food and money on her!

The eldest prince was also annoyed and coldly said to Xiao Wu, "Go and call Ji Yunshu over here."

Xiao Wu nodded and hurriedly came to Ji Yunshu's side to tell her that the eldest prince wanted her to go over.

Ji Yunshu was shoveling rice into her mouth.

She was exhausted after a day and a night and was very hungry, so she ate the meal with great relish.

"Did the Crown Prince say why he summoned me?"

Xiao Wu was unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face.

"No, the First Prince didn't say anything, he only said that the Princess Consort should come over for a moment."

Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow, roughly knowing why the eldest prince had summoned her.

She quickly shoveled the rice from the bowl into her mouth, wiped her mouth casually, stood up, and walked towards the eldest prince.

Xiao Wu watched her retreating figure with a hint of schadenfreude.

Excellent, excellent! The First Prince has finally realized what's happening and is going to deal with this person.

An exiled person dared to disregard the Crown Prince and even took it upon himself to divide up all their food!

Let's see how the eldest prince deals with her!

When Ji Yunshu arrived, Chu Jinsheng was holding Ji Yunyao and comforting her.

"Yao'er, don't worry. Now that I'm here, you definitely won't go hungry. How could I, a prince of a nation, let you go hungry?"

"When that bitch Ji Yunshu comes over later, tell her to take all that grain back. Your Highness, don't forget, that grain is all yours. If it's to be distributed, you should be the one to distribute it. That way, the people will thank you."

The reputation rests on your shoulders. If you let her distribute it, the common people will only thank her, and they will ignore you, the eldest prince.

Once the grain is harvested, how much is distributed to the villagers is entirely up to them.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. When she comes over, I'll have her go and bring all the grain back."

As soon as Ji Yunshu approached, she heard the conversation between the two. She smiled and looked indifferent. Now they're asking her for food and supplies?

late!

Most of it has already gone into their stomachs. Everyone is hungry and has eaten a lot. Where is she going to find it for him?

Does he want the stool in his stomach?

"Your Highness, you wanted to see me?"

Chu Jinsheng glanced at her casually, his tone indifferent.

"I heard from my men that you distributed all the supplies and food from my wagon to the villagers. Who gave you permission to do that? Go and get all that food and supplies back. I will personally distribute it to the villagers."

Ji Yunshu...

So that's what it was all about. Should I let her go ask for it?

That's impossible!

"Oh, Your Highness, didn't you personally agree to this? Without your permission, how could I dare to touch anything in your carriage?"

Look at all these villagers, your little bit of stuff isn't even enough to go around. It's too late for you to ask me to get my things back now.

Most of that food was already eaten by them, it's already in their stomachs. How am I supposed to get it back for you? Are you suggesting we let them defecate on it and then return it to you?"

"Besides, you are a prince of a country. You have already distributed this little bit of grain, and the people are grateful to you. If you go and ask for it back, aren't you ashamed? Don't you want your reputation?"

You wouldn't want people to say that you, the eldest prince, are a petty and stingy man, would you?

The eldest prince was surprised that Ji Yunshu had become so sharp-tongued in just a short time.

She wasn't like this before. Before, as long as he gave an order, Ji Yunshu would obediently do as he said, coaxing him into submission and making him happy.

What's wrong with you now? You've suddenly learned to talk back?

"You know you're embarrassed? You know it won't sound good if word gets out? Who told you to give them all the stuff? Besides, you're the one who distributed it, so naturally you should go ask for it back. Go now!"

Ji Yunshu spread her hands and shrugged. "Sorry, I said I'm not taking it back. If you want it, go get it yourself. I'm not full yet, I need to go back and eat."

Oh, by the way, thank you for the food, Your Highness. The rice smelled wonderful when it was cooked. I urged Your Highness to eat some too, otherwise, there won't be such good food tomorrow.

After saying that, she turned around nonchalantly, returned to her previous seat, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and hurriedly shoveled rice into her stomach.

The eldest prince was furious at her words. He never expected that this bitch Ji Yunshu would actually disobey him!

What went wrong? Has she stopped loving him after only a short time apart?

No, no, no, he must be overthinking it. Ji Yunshu was concerned about him when she left and offered him a meal.

Yes, yes, yes, Ji Yunshu is definitely being stubborn, she's definitely playing hard to get, trying to get his attention.

It must be like this, it must be like this.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Should we go and ask for the grain back?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly.

This was his first time going out with the eldest prince, and he was worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat.

The eldest prince glared at him and said irritably, "What do you want? Haven't you heard? If I go and ask for it back now, I can't afford to lose face! By the way, go and find out what happened along the way. I have a feeling that Ji Yunshu's personality has changed a lot. Also, go and get me a bowl of rice. I want to eat some too."

He has no choice but to eat. He was counting on his snacks to fill his stomach, but now there's nothing left. If he doesn't eat, he'll definitely be too hungry to sleep tonight.

Xiao Wu nodded, turned and left. A short while later, another guard brought a bowl of rice, filled it with rice, and brought it to Chu Jinsheng.

Xiao Wu went to talk to Ling Yun and the others on his own.

Everyone was very happy that night, and the villagers' smiles never stopped. This was the first time in so many years that they had eaten such a good meal.

Ji Yunshu was also very happy. The villagers were very simple and honest, and a little bit of food was enough to make them happy for a long time.

She thought of Li Shi and the little one in the space, wondering if they had woken up yet. Judging from the timeline, they should be awake by now.

While everyone was making a fuss, she quietly got up and walked into the woods nearby.

After making sure no one was watching her, she laid a soft mat on the ground and took Li Shi and the little one out of her spatial storage.

Besides the two people, she also found a more open space and took out all the carriages and horses that she had previously stored away from her space.
