The Sacred Birthday Festival was approaching, and vassal kings were returning to the capital from all corners of the land, while envoys from various nations arrived within the walls. Both inside and outside the capital, the atmosphere was incredibly lively. The streets and alleyways were bustling with a constant flow of horses and carriages.
The docks belonging to Deng Youning were also operating at a fever pitch. The demand for goods from shops and restaurants had multiplied several times over, all of which were being offloaded at her wharves. She had spent almost the entire day working there.
On her way back to the estate that evening, she happened to run into the carriage of the Ninth Prince, Jun Chenyi, near the south side of the city. This area was relatively quiet, with few people on the streets. She retreated to the side, following quietly behind the procession. As a dignified Ninth Prince and a titled vassal king, his traveling entourage was even more extravagant than Li Tianzhuo’s. It was no wonder that in her past life, Li Tianzhuo had been able to persuade him to join the rebellion. She could only hope he would not be so foolish in this lifetime.
