The Kingdom of Hua Xia was full of prosperity. People were very satisfied with this new kingdom and worked hard for it.
Mai Ya had been in Heavenly Courts, the capital city of Hua Xia, for three days. She didn't even dare step out of her room in the first two days. Food had to be sent to her while she laid exhausted in bed all day. It was as if she had yet to recover from the pain she had endured during the pursuit.
But on the third day, Ji Fengyan remembered that pitiful princess and found an excuse to push all her official duties to Gong Zhiyu. She then brought Mai Ya out for a jaunt in Heavenly Courts.
The Heavenly Courts differed totally from what Mai Ya knew.
The guards who had been escorting her before she entered the Free Valley had told her many stories about the valley. One of it was that it was full of evil and vicious criminals. Only those who had nowhere else to go would seek protection there.
