"In the long river of time, grace and merit are always inseparable and confirm each other. If fate allows a choice, I would definitely not want to see you step onto the battlefield filled with smoke. However, in the battle of Lingnan, your heroic name has spread throughout Daqing. In the days to come, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid stepping into that war-torn area again. Unless, the Daqing Dynasty will always be peaceful, but how is that possible? In the long scroll of history, no dynasty has ever been eternally peaceful. The ancestors always hoped that their children and grandchildren could live a stable life, especially women, to find a good man, grow old together, raise children, and take charge of household affairs. However, if you are destined to be extraordinary, you must go through extraordinary hardships. These hardships may make you endure pain that others cannot imagine, but you must be prepared. Especially between you and Yi Han, husband and wife should be like lovebirds, facing the ups and downs of life together. If there is a slight rift, how can you work together to overcome difficulties in the future?" Mrs. Lin continued.

Yun Xi was well aware of the old lady's good intentions. She saw the troubles in her heart and mistakenly thought that there was still a gap between her and Yi Han.

She leaned against the old lady and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, my dear, there is nothing wrong between Yi Han and me. We have a life-long friendship, and we will definitely be able to live in harmony in the future." The old lady stroked her hair, her eyes full of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Yun Xi stayed in the General's Mansion for a day and then returned to the Censor's Mansion.

During this period, Yi Han sent people to deliver many gifts, mostly delicacies.

Yun Xi accepted them one by one and selected some to give him as gifts in return.

The imperial court had issued an order, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had chosen an auspicious date for Liu Prajna to enter the palace on January 10. In order to help her better adapt to palace life, the Empress Dowager specially sent Aunt Yuan Xin to be her mentor.

Concubine Liu's daily living and diet were also taken care of by the people brought by Aunt Yuan Xin, which saved the Marquis's Mansion a lot of trouble.

The Marquis' Mansion also strictly followed the palace rules.

If Concubine Liu didn't summon me, I wouldn't disturb her peace.

Those who want to greet people only do so every morning, but it is not mandatory.

Therefore, most people chose not to go.

Liu Prajna was strictly confined within the mansion and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.

Aunt Yuan Xin's strict discipline prevented her from contacting the outside world, and her heart was filled with anxiety and curiosity.

It happened that this Friday, Aunt Yuan Xin returned to the palace to do some work, giving Liu Banruo a day of freedom.

She had long been tired of the boring life of learning palace rules. Although she was extremely smart and could master all the rules in just two or three days, her aunt always thought that she was not doing well enough and asked her to continue practicing.

In fact, she didn't care about these rules, she was just afraid of spending her days doing nothing in the mansion.

Since her aunt was not at home today, she set up a tea table in the pavilion and asked someone to prepare snacks.

Due to the shortage of servants, she specially transferred a maid named Xiao Xin from the mansion to help.

After serving tea, Xiao Xin stood aside.

Liu Prajna took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Has anything major happened outside the palace recently?" Xiao Xin replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, nothing major has happened outside the palace." Liu Prajna asked again, "Then are there any interesting cases?" Xiao Xin thought for a moment and said, "There is a case, but it's not very interesting. The young master of the Sun family got into a fight with someone in the Doujiu Restaurant and broke someone's leg. He was brought to court. In the end, the young master of the Sun family was sentenced to six years in prison and paid compensation of five thousand taels of silver."

After hearing this, Liu Prajna lowered her eyes calmly, "Sun family?" She hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Are there any other cases? This case is indeed not very interesting."

Xiao Xin shook her head and said, "No more." Liu Prajna was secretly anxious. She wanted to know all the dynamics of the outside world, especially the treatment of those conspirators. She knew that if the emperor sent troops to investigate, it would be a large-scale investigation, and everyone in the capital would know about it.

Even if she was not beheaded, dismissal from office and confiscation of property were inevitable. Such a matter would surely cause heated discussions among the wealthy families. However, she knew nothing about it now, and her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
