She made it to Linzhang of the Zhao kingdom.

Mei Ling swam until the night sky was filled with stars. Seeing a small bamboo forest on the shore, she realized that she did not have enough strength to swim any further, so she made a simple bamboo raft and continued down the river. Finally, on the seventh night, Mei Ling's raft stopped at a small county town. Exhausted and still naked, she fell asleep under an old willow tree on the riverbank. As the morning sunlight began to filter through the trees, Mei Ling was awakened from her sleep by the mocking laughter of the county town residents:

• The famous naked princess of Zhou has arrived in our Zhao country! Look at her, naked and shameless!

• I heard that last week she made a living by dancing naked for men in Zhongshan.

• Never seen a royal princess so lustful and shameless.

Mei Ling rubbed her eyes and realized that there were many people around her, then she was startled and covered her chest with her hands. The feeling of **** shame flared up in her heart again. She tried to regain her composure and asked:

• Excuse me. Please, could someone tell me… is this Zhao Kingdom?

A young girl fishing on the river giggled:

• That's right, welcome to Linzhang. Are you about to perform the "naked Peking opera dance" again to spoil the men of our Zhao Kingdom?

Mei Ling muttered: "Linzhang...Zhao Kingdom...". Hearing the name of a place in Zhao, she was filled with hope for the day she could stand before Prince Zinxi, her love for him was as naked as her body. She ignored their ridicule and looked up at them with her beautiful eyes and asked:

"I… I ask for directions.. I need to find His Highness Zinxi. Do you know where he is?

The villagers along the river loved the kind-hearted Prince Zinxi. When they heard Mei Ling's question, they did not want a princess they considered to be spoiled to approach Prince Zinxi. Some people started throwing small clods of dirt at her. They responded to her question with disdain:

• So being naked is your way to attract the attention of our country's Prince Zinxi, you slutty exhibitionist?

• How dare you ruin Her Highness Zinxi's soul by shaking your beautiful pretty tits and wriggling your naked body? Zinxi is a refined person, not interested in... such scenes.

• Everyone knows that last week you declared to the Zhongshan nobles that you would be happy to entertain them naked. Go back there.

Mei Ling felt tears welling up in her eyes, but she did not let them fall. She picked up a fallen willow branch nearby to try to block the small clods of dirt that were being thrown at her. She tried to explain to these overzealous villagers:

• I am on a very important mission. You don't understand what I am doing but I certainly wouldn't do anything to hurt him. I need to find him. Very urgently. Please, tell me… where can I find him?

An old elder appeared from afar and asked the young villagers to calm down. He looked at Mei Ling and said slowly and carefully:

• Prince Zinxi usually goes to the Taihang Mountains once a year. He will probably be there in about a month.

Mei Ling heard this and exclaimed and exclaimed:

• My birthday is in a month. There is not much time left.

  One resident still hasn't stopped teasing Mei Ling:

  • Ah, the Taihang Mountains are where Prince Zinxi goes every year for his retreat! You're lucky you're naked; they say the prince likes wild animals, which are creatures just as naked as you!

  Mei Ling thanked the elder, then slowly turned away. The harsh reality of her current situation gradually appeared. Mei Ling's hope was crushed by the weight of the deadline. The time was too short, making her afraid of the prospect of a life of being naked forever. The men scattered at the elder's command, but their eyes were still glued to Mei Ling's naked body. Mei Ling took a deep breath, resolutely her next move as she looked towards the Taihang Mountains planning thedistance.
