Wealth and glory seek stability

"Don't worry, sister will definitely be blessed."

"The situation in the capital is very tense recently. Don't go out unless it's something important."

"understood."

Lei Zi frowned.

Huang Yuan seized the capital, but has yet to ascend the throne. Just as he said at the beginning, did he conquer the country for the benefit of the people of the world?

He didn't believe it. No one in the world could withstand the temptation of power.

It's really a storm coming.

New Year's Eve.

Jian Xi has already arrived at the Saibei Administration Office and been settled.

The main city of Saibei is full of broken walls and ruins, and only a few elderly people and their children are holding on.

The Master's Mansion was originally the Lord's Mansion. Jian Xi had the name changed. It sounds better to call it the Master's Mansion.

The Ministry of Revenue allocated money for her to renovate the office, but she did not want to use the money here.

Throughout the continent, several major dynasties had the custom of celebrating New Year's Eve.

At this time, Jian Xi also received a letter from Zhang Cener.

[From Jian Xi:

My father begged my mother, the queen, saying that the princess should serve the country when she comes of age. My mother gave me a team of royal guards, which are elite soldiers in the royal court who are specifically responsible for protecting the empress.

It seems that the Queen Mother still has high hopes for me O(n_n)O~

By the way, it has been more than a month, and you should have arrived in the northern border. I heard from my father that the situation in the northern border is not optimistic. The emperor's husband is still the same stubborn person, and he instigates my mother not to get close to me every day. The northern border is beyond his reach, so you don't have to pay attention to him.

You'd better show your skills, otherwise when I have accomplished great achievements, you will have to bow down to me.

Saibei is adjacent to the Xia Kingdom, and Huang Yuan's chess piece can also be used. There is a blank letter with my seal on the back of the letter, you can do whatever you want with it.

I will definitely be more powerful than the Queen Mother, just wait and see.

If there is anything interesting happening in Saibei, don’t forget to share it with me!

Respectfully submitted by Zhang Cen'er]

After reading the letter, Jian Xi could already imagine Zhang Cen'er's smug expression when he wrote the letter.

Zhang Cen'er looks cheerful and unrestrained, but in fact he is very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have come to her resolutely to buy food.

In comparison, the empress's attitude is worth pondering.

Along the way, Jian Xi felt that everything was going extremely smoothly, as if there was an expert helping her.

Judging from Zhang Cen'er's letter, Zhang Qiao also entrusted her with an important task.

The heart of the emperor is indeed unfathomable. If Zhang Qiao intended to let Zhang Cen'er succeed to the throne, why did he let her go to marry?

It's really puzzling.

Thinking about how Zhang Cener asked her to share new and interesting things at the end of the letter.

Jian Xi picked up her pen and wrote:

[From Her Royal Highness Princess:

The scenery of the northern frontier is truly marvelous, but it’s a pity that it was already December when I came, and I could only see endless snow. When the spring scenery comes next year, I will surely present Your Highness with a beautiful picture.

We stopped and walked along the way, and the only time we spent the most time was in Kecheng. Kecheng is rich in fine wine, and the lord of Kecheng, Maimu, is a down-to-earth and hard-working man. The streets are prosperous and there are many wine shops. In terms of local characteristics, it is not inferior to the ice wonders in the imperial capital.

Among them is a kind of kumis, which has a mellow taste and rich alcoholic flavor but little aftereffect. It tastes better than the kumis I drank on the Wenshan grassland. If Your Highness has the opportunity to come to Saibei, I will definitely entertain you with this wine.

I hope Your Highness will remember to cultivate yourself, hone yourself further, and not be greedy for the scenery along the way. This is the right thing to do.

The situation in the northern grasslands is complicated. I will go to Xia Kingdom in person next year to look for my former subordinates.

As soon as New Year's Eve was over, I wrote a letter to Huang Yuan to contribute to His Highness's plan.

Absolutely!

Jian Xi pays respect to you.

When Jian Xi stood up to get the sealing wax, her stomach hit the table.

All of a sudden.

A flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she seemed to have forgotten the child's father.

She found the scroll that Granny Qi had drawn for her from her bundle. She had already asked someone to frame it. After mounting it, she wrote a line of words:

"Be well, don't worry."

Apart from this sentence, there seems to be nothing else to say.

Jian Xi touched her heart. Time is really a magical thing. When she left, she still missed you a little. Now that she has gotten used to being alone, it feels weird when she suddenly thinks of you.

She looked down at her belly which was already as big as a small watermelon. Was this what she had originally thought, to find a man to borrow sperm from, and then do whatever she wanted?

My original plan was to wait until I became an adult and if I still couldn't find someone I liked, I would implement this plan.

But due to a series of coincidences, I was able to fulfill my lifelong dream.

Jian Xi laughed and said, "People really shouldn't set too many limits for themselves. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

When the time comes.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks rang out.

Jian Xi's residence is a small courtyard behind the main office. When she opened the window, she saw Mo Chuan, Ling Bao and Bai Zhi setting off fireworks in the courtyard.

Fireworks were not available in the northern border, so Mo Chuan had personally bought them on horseback a few days earlier at Chengcheng, near Xia State.

There are many small courtyards behind the main office, and generally those who live here are officials' families.

Hearing the strange sound of fireworks, several families opened their doors to look for the source.

"Dad, look what that is? It's really beautiful."

"Those are fireworks."

"Is it a flower made of smoke? How can smoke be made into flowers if it doesn't disperse?"

Children's words came, and Jian Xi heard a familiar voice.

"Mo Chuan, go open the door, there seems to be someone outside."

Mo Chuan responded with a hoarse voice, "Hey!" Perhaps because he was too close to the firecrackers, Mo Chuan felt a buzzing sound in his ears. He was afraid that others could not hear his voice, so the tone of his voice was several tones higher than usual.

"Master Tang, Master Qu, are you all here? Come in quickly."

Tang Qian and Qu Lian felt a little embarrassed as they were holding their own kid.

Children don't have the feeling of embarrassment. Tang Xiaomi and Qu Xuan looked at each other. They were both half-grown boys who couldn't resist the temptation of the new toys in the yard. They let go of their father's hands and followed Mo Chuan into the yard.

Tang Qian and Qu Lian were a little embarrassed, but still entered the yard.

Jian Xi had already walked into the courtyard and stood under the corridor, smiling and greeting the two, "Master Tang, Master Qu."

Tang Qian and Qu Lian bowed and said, "Greetings to the Minister of Agriculture."

Jian Xi hurriedly gave a false salute, "Today is a good day, there is no need to be so restrained, just treat it as an ordinary friend coming to visit, the New Year is lively when there are many people."

"Thank you, sir."
