Qiu Shui felt that he might have gotten into trouble, so he rubbed his hands in confusion: "General..."
"Miss Qiu Shui is very skilled in martial arts. She is really undermining her talents by staying in the army." Jiang Yan really didn't know what He Lian Jue had sent this 'female warrior' to do.
"What the general said is absolutely true. I can't be of much help in the army. It would be better to send me to Madam as soon as possible. It would be more suitable for me to be a maid." Qiu Shui looked serious. Madam is kind-hearted and does not despise her own strength.
, she likes Madam so much.
"..." Jiang Yan is actually skeptical about whether a strong female warrior is suitable to be a maid, "How about Miss Qiushui going to the imperial capital with the spies who deliver the good news?"
"Okay." Qiu Shui nodded quickly, "General, if you have anything to bring to the Lord and Madam, just tell it to me."
"I...have nothing to bring." Jiang Yan quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have anything.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The general has won another battle. We should send some Beichi specialties to the imperial capital." Qiu Shui felt that the general was too ignorant of the world. "I think the furs and gems here are very good."
There are a lot of good things in the Beichi Royal Court, but when the trophies are transported back to the imperial capital, they will have to go into the Donghuan treasury, which is not acceptable. However, it is still okay to transport a few boxes to the lord and his wife as gifts for the year.
"That's it, Miss. I'm going to prepare now." Jiang Yan quickly ordered someone to interrogate the Beichi Emperor and asked him to hand over the key to the small treasury.
After a while, the soldiers came in and reported: "The Emperor of Beichi is really cunning. He kept pretending to be faint and refused to wake up and reply."
Jiang Yan took off the rattle from his waist and handed it over: "Use this to wake him up."
"Yes." The soldier took the rattle and went to wake up the Beichi Emperor.
It started to snow again in the Imperial Capital of Donghuan. The goose-feather-like snowflakes were falling and accumulated on the red lanterns, which was particularly beautiful.
This is the third year that Mingruo has been married to Si Haochen, but it is the first time that she has celebrated the New Year in the imperial capital.
Mingruo and Si Haochen got up early. Si Haochen wanted to accompany the Supreme Emperor to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. Mingruo also wanted to enter the palace, and along with the queen and other princesses, he personally lit the tribute incense candles that were enshrined in the Fengxian Hall.
Si Haochen tied up his purple gold crown and put on a brand-new royal robe. Looking at his wife, Nanny Dong, Zi Su and Ji Yue worked together to put on the dress sent by the Supreme Emperor at noon - heavy purple brocade, with
Gold and silver threads and various gemstones were embroidered with patterns of large peonies and flying phoenixes...
After getting dressed up, Mingruo took a deep breath and straightened her back - the dress was layered one after another, nine layers in total. It was warm, but a little too heavy.
"This dress looks really good on the princess." Aunt Dong admired sincerely.
"Our princess is good-looking and looks good in anything she wears." Zi Su shook off her fox fur cloak and put it on the princess's shoulders.
"You have praised me so much, but now you are not giving out red envelopes." Mingruo turned her head and looked at Si Haochen, "What do you think?"
Si Haochen raised his hand and plucked the bright jeweled tassel hanging on his forehead: "There is a beautiful woman, and you will never forget her when you see her. If you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy."
"Wow." Mingruo suddenly covered her cheek.
"What's wrong?" Si Haochen frowned slightly and looked at Mingruo worriedly.
"Teeth are sour, hee hee." Ming Ruo made a face at Si Haochen, then raised his shoulders and said, "Let's go."
"Yes." Aunt Dong and Zi Su responded in unison.
Mingruo will stay in the palace all day today. In the morning, he will go to the Fengxian Hall with the Queen to worship his ancestors. At noon, he will have a "reunion dinner" with the Supreme Emperor. In the evening, there will be a New Year's Eve palace banquet.
Zi Su packed a hand stove, a makeup box, a change of clothes, etc. into a small bundle and held it in her arms.
Aunt Dong was about to step forward to help the princess, but the prince preempted her: "I won't be able to enter the palace until noon. I will leave you alone in the palace. My husband is very worried."
"I'm not alone." Mingruo patted his sleeve pocket and smiled meaningfully, "I'm not alone with my grandma and Zisu."
"They..." Si Haochen thought about the cats, butterflies, monsters in his wife's sleeve pocket...it seems that there is still some protection, "Okay."
Ming Ruo easily picked up Lao Tie, who was chewing pills in the space, and put it on Si Haochen's wrist: "You should be more careful when you want to leave the imperial city. Why don't you take Linglong with you?"
Lao Tie felt that he was being looked down upon, and quickly swallowed the pill in his mouth. Just now, he shrank his body in order to wrap it around his master's wrist, and now he was choked by the oversized pill and rolled his eyes: "Hiss, hiss...
"
Lao Tie can protect his master by himself, without the help of poisonous butterflies!
Ming Ruo stroked Lao Tie's neck and helped him slide the pill down. No matter how you looked at it, this snake didn't look very smart. (His Royal Highness Prince Yun looked disgusted: Ruo'er's words didn't fit the truth, it
This is obviously very unsmart...)
"Seventh uncle will go with me." Si Haochen scratched his wife's small nose, "Are you relieved?"
"Oh." The senior brother has great martial arts skills and is a 'magic stick', Mingruo instantly felt relieved.
If His Royal Highness Prince Yun knew that the young princess had such comments about the seventh uncle, he would probably faint with laughter.
Si Haochen first rode a carriage with Mingruo into the palace. Si Haochen got into the Emperor's carriage and went to the Ancestral Temple. Mingruo then took a carriage and went to the Queen's Qifeng Palace.
Just as Jianyu was about to turn, he heard the crackle of whips and hurriedly avoided entering another palace passage. Through the gauze curtain, Mingruo saw a crowd of palace people surrounded by bright yellow chariots slowly passing by.
Sitting on the chariot was none other than Emperor Danxu. His complexion was slightly pale due to being poisoned by a poison, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
Mingruo blinked his big eyes and asked softly the eunuch who was holding the carriage: "Don't you, Your Majesty, go to the Ancestral Temple?"
These shoulder bearers are all people employed by the Kuntai Palace, so the information is naturally well-informed: "The Emperor's dragon body is ill and cannot make the journey, so he will not go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
"Hmm." Mingruo carefully recalled the car he saw just now, and then asked, "What about the prince?"
"The emperor left the prince in Panlong Palace to attend to his illness, and ordered His Royal Highness King Heng to lead the royal clan and accompany the prince to the Ancestral Temple."
"..." Mingruo narrowed her eyes slightly and smelled a hint of conspiracy. Mingruo tapped Linglong on her shoulder and let it chase Si Haochen.
Linglong fluttered its wings and shuttled through the wind and snow, like a golden lightning, very fast.
Mingruo got off the shoulder carriage in front of the main hall. Aunt Qiu Yun, who was beside the queen, stood in the corridor. When she saw Mingruo getting off the shoulder carriage, she quickly stepped forward to help her: "Princess, please slide carefully."
"Okay, thank you aunt for reminding me." Mingruo held Qiu Yun's hand and walked up the steps.
The eunuch waiting in front of the door opened the curtain and announced inside. When Mingruo walked into the main hall, he saw an unexpected person.
