lso tanned a bit, but her complexion looks great and her eyes are bright and sparkling.Clearly, she was filled with anticipation for her new home and the days to come, no matter how hard or tiring thi...During lunchtime at the bustling restaurant, Chef Jiahuan, a renowned figure in the culinary world, would never leave easily. 。 Li Laosan lived dozens of miles away and wouldn't come back unless there was something important. Jia Yin didn't want her sister-in-law to worry, so she said a few simple words and then made an excuse to ask her to prepare two boxes of snacks for her. When she returned to the palace later, she would... 。Wan'er hurried to get busy. 。Everyone sat together, eating and discussing the matter of borrowing grain. 。Although each family had children and grandchildren in the Northern Expeditionary Army, their interests were paramount. It was impossible for them to sacrifice too much for one child or grandchild. 。To successfully borrow grain, Li Yong still had to go see the emperor and beg for an imperial decree. He would also need his second brother, Li Laoer, to appear as well. 。Thus, with soldiers coming forward from the ranks and the emperor taking pity on them, the Li family vouchsafed letters of recommendation, only then were families willing to lend their grain. 。After discussing and reaching an agreement, Jiayin took the box of snacks and hurried back to the palace. 。In order to foster a relationship between the future son-in-law and his daughter, the Emperor had previously decreed that Lu Zong could enter the palace on the first and fifteenth of each month to have dinner with the Third Princess and stroll through the gardens. 。Hearing that Jiayin was back, the third princess missed her and immediately had someone bring Jiayin to the garden. 。Upon seeing Lu Zong also there, Jiayin suddenly remembered their appointment at the palace. She then laughed and said, "Oh dear, I'm back at such an inconvenient time, delaying important matters." 。"The third princess blushed and pretended to pinch her smooth cheeks, scolding playfully, “When you find a husband later, I'll tease you relentlessly!” 。"

Jia Yin waved her hand dismissively, smiling and saying, “Who knows how many years it will be I’m not afraid!”

Having said that, she asked Shui Ling to open the box and share the snacks they had brought from home with the Third Princess and Lu Cong.”

Lu Zong smiled faintly, raised his hand to pour tea for Jia Yin, and asked, "Calculating the time, Brother Li should have taken office. Has he sent a letter home" Jia Yin shook her head and replied, "No letter yet. The journey is long, he must be delayed somewhere." 。But Big Brother has always been careful, so there's no need to worry too much. 。"Lu Zong nodded and said, "That day when we sent Li Brother off, he entrusted us to take good care of you." 。If anything happens, feel free to send someone to find us. Don't be shy. 。"Rest assured, Brother Lu. " 。"I'll definitely trouble you with things, " Jia Yin said with a mischievous grin, leaning against the Third Princess's shoulder. "Before, you were like my older brother, now you're even more like my brother-in-law!"

The Third Princess's face reddened even further, reaching out to tickle her. 。Jiayin quickly apologized, smiling sheepishly. 。 Lu Zhong was also smiling across from him, he lowered his head and gently sipped some tea... This kind of joke for a few sentences, Jia Yin was about to return to Zhi Lan Palace, giving the two people space 。Lu Zong first offered to leave, saying, “It’s getting late, I’ll go back first.” 。Next time, I'll come and see the princess... and the younger lady. 。"

Third Princess was a little reluctant, clutching the corner of her clothes and pleading, "Young Master, why don't you stay for a while longer I've had someone make sweet soup. Young Master, have a bowl before leaving"

Lu Cong smiled apologetically and replied, "I'm sorry, Princess..."

I don't know, you specially stewed desserts... "Yesterday I made an appointment with a friend to attend his birthday banquet tonight. When I first arrived in Xindu, he helped me a lot, and I couldn't refuse..." "Ah, then you really shouldn't miss it, go quickly" 。 。The Third Princess quickly ended her speech, understandingly urging Lu Zong to hurry to the banquet. 。Lu Zongxiao's gentle smile, bending over to bow, and then nodding to Jia Yin before saying goodbye. 。The third princess, with Jiayin by her side, returned to Zhi Lan Palace. Along the way, she kept praising Lu Cong's kindness, clearly showing that her heart had fallen completely for him. 。On the other hand, Jia Yin was smiling as she listened, but her mind seemed to wander off. 。The Third Princess discovered this and asked, "Aren't you worried about the Marquis and your father"Jia Yin came back to her senses and replied, "You also know that the military supplies have been destroyed"The Third Princess nodded. "After you left this morning, there were rumors in the palace. Later, Lu Shizi came and told me a few words as well." 。"I don't know who did this, they are truly hateful! I hope Father will definitely find this person and have them cut into a thousand pieces!" 。"Jia Yin wanted to find the person behind this even more. So she said, "These few days, would you please help me out and go to the Imperial Study more often 。Even if I can't see Uncle Emperor, it would be nice to at least hear some news about him. 。"Don't worry, this is a small matter. You don't need to say anything, I will help anyway." 。The Third Princess nodded vigorously, then hugged her in comfort, "Don't worry, the northern campaign concerns the unification of Heaven Martial's north and south; countless people are anxious and working hard." 。Military supplies, it will definitely be resolved soon. 。" Jia Yin sighed, hoping so... The entire Tianwu was now like a gigantic vortex. Once it started spinning, it could only spin faster and faster, exposing a black hole that grew larger and larger. "。No one could predict when it would finally calm down...After dark, after dinner, Jiayin borrowed a headache to go back to the side hall early, then let out the little fox, and just waited. 。As expected, at the stroke of three, the window was pushed open. 。Mu Xu jumped in, looking disheveled. He grabbed the teapot and gulped down tea. 。Jia Yin didn't say a word, she quickly prepared food for him. 。In the corner, by the warm teapot, sat a pot of hot rice porridge and a dozen meat buns. They were all placed on the table. Mu Xu ate three or four in one breath before he spoke. 。"Don't worry, things aren't that serious" 。" Jia Yin gave him fresh tea and nodded in response, "Have your meal first. It won't make much difference if you wait a little longer." 。This morning, when she was about to leave the palace and return home, she did not see Mu Xu's shadow. 。She still thought he was delayed, but when she got home and heard about the army's food supply problem during the Northern Expedition, she immediately guessed that he had probably heard the news last night and went to investigate. 。As expected, Mu Xu, after a good meal and drink, carefully explained everything to her. 。

At the fifth watch of the night, an urgent dispatch arrived from the riverbank. The emperor was in the Noble Consort's Palace, so it inevitably caused quite a stir. 。I felt something was wrong, so I snuck over to take a listen. 。Then I went to the riverbank pier again and inquired about everything in Kyoto. 。He panted, his once bright eyes now dulled with exhaustion. 。"This is strange, it wasn't Shou Kang Gong who did it. Her few lackeys who are capable of making a move in the army are all honest and trustworthy." 。I bet they're wondering right now, who got there first. 。"But this matter has extremely negative consequences." 。A great victory in the north, reclaiming the land north of the Yangtze River, unifying the country—such a tremendous feat was like a fat pig surrounded by wolves, each hoping to grab a piece. 。Now that wolves have started to make their move, it's like a signal has been sent. More wolves will be joining soon. 。One can dodge once, but no one can guarantee they'll be safe every time...Jia Yin's face was not good, she looked up and gestured towards the study, then said in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong I feel like that person isn't very sincere..." 。Mu Xu also frowned, the smirk that was often on his lips had long since disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness. 。"I thought I was the only one who felt this way" 。Fortunately, you feel the same way too. 。That man couldn't be said to be careless. He ordered a thorough investigation and the re-collection of military supplies, and he did both. 。But it's just average, nothing wrong with it. 。But ironically, not being able to pick out the mistake actually means there is a mistake!" Jia Yin nodded, finally feeling a little lighter inside. 。She didn't want to think of people as wicked, but sometimes she couldn't help it. 。This was a heavy burden on her heart. 。Luckily, there were still people who shared her thoughts. 。"Mu Gege, from now on we will live in the palace often." 。My stepfather and my father are away on campaign. We can't help them directly, but we at least have to do our best to ensure they don't face treachery from behind. 。"Whoever tries to harm them, I will not allow it." 。"So, no matter what happens to us in the future, at least this time, I hope you'll fight alongside me, never failing me!" Jia Yin extended her hand, Mu Xu lowered his head, his gaze swept over her tender fingers, and without hesitation, he grasped them...Today's two updates are up~~ns.The little fellows skipped merrily toward the back, and Zheng Liu, feigning a stomach ache, went after them to look for a restroom...Soon, the kitchen staff brought out the dishes. They had just be...
