After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 6 She's a Princess
When he arrived at the government office, Chu Lingyao asked the woman to reveal her name, saying that she was his adopted daughter, entrusted to him by a woman named Liu Hanmu ten years ago.

The woman was shocked when she looked at the list that Chu Lingyao asked her to reveal.

Princess?

She originally thought that Chu Lingyao was lying to her, but when she saw the portrait on the paper and looked at Chu Lingyao's face, her mind changed.

Perhaps it was because Chu Lingyao felt pity for her that she didn't expose the list herself and came to find herself, a person with no relatives or connections.

The woman did as Chu Lingyao said.

The moment the list was unveiled, the official in front of the government office suddenly stepped forward, with a somewhat angry tone: "If you are not sure about uncovering it indiscriminately! Just go to jail for a few days!"

The woman was so frightened that her hands shook, and the notice fluttered to the ground.

There is a reason why officials are so rude. Ever since this announcement came out, people have posted it every day!
Those folk women, with the mentality of flying up the branches and becoming phoenixes if they succeed, come to expose them even if they have nothing to do with the portrait!

The county magistrate is worried that he will be promoted based on his merits, so he will get angry at the officials whenever the person who comes to unveil the ranking is not a princess. Who can bear this?
If there were no additional punishment, there would be a long queue for those who revealed the list!

The officer bent down to pick up the notice, flicked it until it became dusty, and looked up to see Chu Lingyao standing behind the woman.

The officer raised his eyebrows, looked down at the portrait on the announcement, then raised his eyes at Chu Lingyao, his eyebrows raised even higher!
He held the portrait up and down and gestured at Chu Lingyao.

Suddenly, the official's eyes widened and he turned around and ran towards the palace, "Sir! Your Excellency!"

After a while, the official ran out again, his attitude changed very quickly, and he respectfully let the two people in.

The county magistrate sat on the throne and compared the portrait with Chu Lingyao in the same manner as the official officer did just now.

Indeed.

He then asked the woman and Chu Lingyao some questions.

When the three words Liu Hanmu came out of the woman's mouth, the county magistrate's face burst into laughter.

Because Chu Lingyao is the princess living among the people.

Not to mention that the portrait looks similar, the place he governs is far away from the main city of Xiliang. The news can be conveyed, but it will not be so detailed, let alone decades ago.

Which of the women who came before can name Mrs. Liu!
The county magistrate didn't even need to confirm the birthmark. He retreated to the side of the old woman and even asked someone to deliver a letter to the palace.

At that time, Chu Lingyao took out the jade bracelet from his arms and said, "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, please include this item with the letter. I think it will be much faster to receive a reply from the palace."

It takes a long time for letters to reach the palace. This announcement is posted in more than one place. There are so many letters sent to the palace. Each one seems to take an unknown amount of time.

If there is a jade bracelet from the palace in a letter, it will naturally be the first to be opened.

The county magistrate is also a person who knows things well. When he saw that jade bracelet, he saw his own future of promotion and wealth!

He got down from his seat, smiled and took the jade bracelet with both hands. He held it in his hand and looked at it. It was indeed an item from the palace!

The county magistrate handed the thing to the officer, and asked him to protect it and send it out with the letter. He turned to Chu Lingyao with a licking look on his face, "The princess is thoughtful!" Chu Lingyao raised her lips politely, "The matter has not yet been decided. Your Majesty, the county magistrate, does not need to address me like this before you can call me Chu Lingyao."

"Hey, OK, OK, Miss Chu!"

It is certain that Chu Lingyao is a princess, whatever she says will come true!
Chu Lingyao was about to leave with the woman, but the county magistrate quickly stopped him, "Mr....where is Miss Chu going?"

Chu Lingyao truthfully informed the woman about the burial of her husband, and said that she would not come to the government until the palace heard back.

When the county magistrate heard this, how could he do it?

If the princess is not kept under his nose, her promotion and fortune will be as vague as a dream. He is not the only one who covets the princess's achievements!
The county magistrate waved his hand and sent someone to follow the woman to do the business. He bowed his waist and invited Chu Lingyao to come and take a seat in the mansion. He also carefully informed that after the affairs were handled, her adoptive mother would return to the mansion together.

Of course Chu Lingyao agreed, there was no point in following the woman.

When they went to the county magistrate's residence, the county magistrate's wife received the magistrate's orders and treated Chu Lingyao warmly.

Accommodation has been arranged, hot water bathing, brand new clothes and dresses are available, and food and drinks are fully provided.

In the afternoon, the woman came to the mansion. She was first groomed by the county magistrate's wife before going to Chu Lingyao's courtyard.

As soon as the woman entered the room and saw Chu Lingyao, she knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Chu, for your kindness! I, Xu Qinglan, will never forget it!"

Chu Lingyao stepped forward and helped the woman up.

The baby in her arms was sleeping soundly and sweetly, opening and closing her little hands. It was exactly as Xu Qinglan said, neither noisy nor fussy, very well-behaved.

I wonder if Chu Lingyao was as obedient as her when she was a child.

Chu Lingyao said, "I'm not helping you in vain."

Xu Qinglan leaned over and said, "Miss Chu, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"

"After the palace replies, I will no longer stay here, but my mother is here. I hope you can clean my mother's grave for me every month to prevent weeds from growing overgrown and the monument to fall dust."

Xu Qinglan agreed, "The girl is as kind as a mountain to me. She means every word of her words to her heart, and she will definitely do what she asks her to do. Where is the girl's mother?"

Chu Lingyao closed her eyes, she buried her mother herself.

Mrs. Zhou sent someone to throw Liu Hanmu into the wilderness, hoping that he would be eaten by wild dogs and die badly.

Chu Ling followed secretly. After they left, she dragged Liu Hanmu's body and found an apricot tree. She cried while digging the soil, her tears mixed into the mud. She wondered if her mother would feel her longing.

Chu Lingyao's eyes turned red unconsciously.

"My mother is on a mountain thirty miles away. She sleeps under an almond tree."
