  Sorry for the typos and grammatical errors, Ill try to be more careful tonight. Thanks for correcting me, everyone! High-quality updates are coming, please collect them.

  After passing the city gate officers inspection, Liu Mama and Ding Rou entered the capital city. Without the modern skyscrapers that pierced the clouds, the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, they saw with their own eyes the ancient and elegant architecture. For the first time, Ding Rou felt that living in ancient times wasnt so bad after all. The classical Chinese culture that Ding Rou had studied in university and discussed with famous professors was now unfolding before her eyes, and for a moment, she felt excited.

  "Sixth Miss, please stop for a moment, be careful of the horse carriage." Liu Mama didnt understand Ding Ruos excitement, in her eyes, the capital city was nothing special except for being more prosperous. She held onto Ding Ruo with her basket, "The carriages of noble families are all speeding by quickly, Im afraid Sixth Miss will get hit."

  Then there was the sound of horseshoes, and Ding Rou and Lius mother dodged to the side. A galloping horse rushed past, with a dark red shirt and sleeves fluttering in the wind. In the hurry, Ding Rou couldnt see very clearly, but she felt that the person riding the horse and waving his whip was a handsome young nobleman. Lius mother followed the mans gaze and said, "Xinyang Wang, the number one handsome man in the capital - Xinyang Wang."

  Ding Ruo didnt have any memory of this prince, perhaps it was because he was too far away from Ding Ruos original status. However, the swiftly passing Prince Xinyang turned back to glance at her, and when Ding Ruo saw his eyes clearly, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but couldnt recall where she had seen him before.

  Xinyang Kings stunning appearance, brought the girls and young wives on the street to gaze at him with admiration. Xinyang King was handsome, powerful, and of high status. The Xinyang Kings estate was the shield of the northern border of Great Qin. At the age of eight, Qi Heng inherited the title, at fifteen he went to war, and at sixteen he defeated the northern barbarians. He returned to the capital with an imperial edict from the current emperor. Since the founding of the Great Qin dynasty, the Xinyang Kings estate in Yanjing City had been waiting for its masters return. The Xinyang Kings family had protected the northern border for generations, but their population was not prosperous. Apart from Qi Heng, there was a younger brother and two younger sisters born out of wedlock. Qi Hengs father, the previous Xinyang King, died in battle, and his mother followed him in death due to grief. Qi Heng was raised by his grandmother, who was now the mistress of the Xinyang Kings estate.

  "Xinyang King is only sixteen years old this year, it is said that the Emperor summoned him back for his marriage, if not for the will of the late Empress Dowager, the hereditary noble kings family would not be allowed to marry a princess, Xinyang King must have been chosen to marry a princess."

  Mrs. Liu chattered on about the Shunyang Wangfu, and since Shunyang Wang Qi Heng returned to Beijing from the Northern Border, everything about the Shunyang Wangfu has been a hot topic of conversation. Especially with Qi Hengs exceptional looks, all the young ladies in the capital city have set their sights on him.

  Ding Ruo was still trying to recall where she had seen Qi Hengs eyes before, why did they seem so familiar? Liu Mama sighed inwardly as she watched Ding Ruo daze off, another person enchanted by the Prince of Xinyang. Sixth Miss was intelligent, but her status wasnt enough to match the Prince of Xinyang. Even the legitimate miss of the Ding family wouldnt be qualified.

  "Sixth Miss, Sixth Miss." Liu Mama nudged Ding Rous arm, "Ill take you to the Royal Bookstore first, then go sell eggs."

  Ding Rou said: "I remember the location of the Imperial Bookstore, Liu Mama can go and busy herself, lets meet here before sunset."

  "Miss Six..."

  "Do as I say." Ting said softly, Lius mother thought for a moment and replied, "Sixth Miss should be careful, the noble families in Beijing are all very overbearing, we cant afford to offend them."

  I remember.

  Born into a wealthy and official family, Ding Rou had seen her fair share of such people. She had a unique way of dealing with them, which she thought would still be effective in the Great Qin Dynasty after some minor adjustments. Official positions had always been a tradition in China, remaining unchanged from ancient times to the present day. Ding Rou pondered that it might not be useful for her, as she didnt want to have any entanglements with the Ding family. As an ordinary citizen, she was looked down upon by noble families like the Xunyang Kings household. With a bright smile, Ding Rou sent off Liu Mama and removed her hat from her head, following the crowd towards the bustling area of the capital city, leaving behind thoughts of Xunyang Wang Qihe, which were too troublesome for her to bother with.

  Ding Ruo looked further than Lius mother, and the queen that King Qi Heng of Xinyang married was not simple. The old princess who brought up Qi Heng would not casually welcome a proper wife for her grandson. The Kings of Xinyang and Chuling were the only two remaining royal families. One guarded the northern border against the Mongols, and the other guarded the southern border against the Manchu people. Their ancestors were all conferred with the title of king by the founding emperor for their contributions in battle. Ding Ruo remembered that there were originally four kings who helped the founding emperor establish the country. The Kings of Xinyang and Chuling had always been stationed outside to prevent the Mongols from rebelling in the south, and they were not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial order. The other two royal families, however, remained in the capital city, enjoying wealth and luxury, and gained more trust from the founding emperor. As a result, they became embroiled in the Hidden King Rebellion, and the line of Chengwu King was demoted to commoner status by the founding empress dowager. The line of Yannan Kings family was even exterminated, their bloodline severed.

  No wonder the Empress Dowager was so ruthless, the Imperial Noble Consort who had been doted on was the eldest daughter of the Yan Nan Wang Fu, and since the rebellion of the Hidden King, the Empress Dowager had decreed that women from aristocratic families were not allowed to enter the palace as consorts.

  At this point, Ding Rou slightly closed her eyes. How did the Empress Dowager deal with the Imperial Noble Consort? There were all sorts of rumors among the people, and Ding Rou really wanted to know how that transmigrated woman who was forced into a desperate situation and counterattacked treated her philandering husband and his favored concubine. After the Hidden King Rebellion, the imperial nobles in the capital were rearranged by the Empress Dowagers bloody methods. That year, many people died, and the bloodstains on the ground at Caishi Street didnt dry for several days. The imperial nobles suffered almost half of their losses. From this, it can be inferred how many supporters the Hidden King had at that time.

  With ample time, Ding Rou walked along the Cross Street towards the Imperial Palace. She wondered if the Imperial Palace of Great Qin was the same as the Forbidden City in later generations, and whether the couple who crossed over would also destroy the Forbidden City?

  On the banks of the Golden Water Bridge, the imperial palace with its red brick and glazed tile roof shone brightly. Ting Ruo stood far away, comparing the palace in front of her to the one in her memory. She smiled, although they were not exactly the same, but the difference was not great. Next to the palace gate, a jade stone stele was erected, with several large characters carved on it, "The Son of Heaven guards the country gate, the king dies for the altar." Below it was a row of small words, "All descendants of the Qin family must remember, the Mongolian slaves will be destroyed."

  Ding Ruo smiled and turned to leave, this sentence came from the mouth of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di in history. Until the extinction of the Ming Dynasty, no soldiers were mobilized to garrison Shanhai Pass. Taizu did a good job, standing at the gate of the imperial palace, everyone could see it coming and going, and the descendants of the royal family would also remember it in their hearts. The Great Qin was better than the Great Ming, not closing the country or locking the nation was also the legacy of Taizu, and he decreed that no matter what time it was, it could not be violated. This move also left a possibility for future generations. In feudal dynasties, changing deep-rooted systems will be difficult, but the couple left behind a spark, which will not become worse than history.

  When Ding Rou saw the words "Prosecutors Office", she suddenly realized that the couple might be fans of some big shot, and the Brocade Guard had become the Prosecutors Office. Ding Rou found it even more interesting, what was their story after all? Ding Rou walked towards the Imperial Book Bureau, perhaps she could find the answer in a book.
