Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mo Zhaohua, "You don't have to go back to Southern Xinjiang, you can stay in the Fuguogong Mansion for a few days."

"The Prince's Mansion?" Mu Xueyan thought of Rong Yue, who was always smiling and a big eater. "Yue Yue's home?"

Mo Zhaohua nodded, "Yes, I can ask my mother to adopt you as her adopted daughter, and you can stay in the Duke's Mansion in the name of serving my adopted mother."

Rong Qing only has her as a daughter, and now that they are divorced, she no longer has illegitimate sons and daughters. No one should object to adopting a foster daughter.

She was not willing to let Mu Xueyan go back to Southern Xinjiang. She felt sorry for a lonely woman.

Chu Xuanchi agreed immediately, "That's a good idea. Xue'er is having her coming-of-age ceremony this year, and mother-in-law will be in charge of it."

Mu Xueyan stared at him blankly, not daring to believe it, "A coming-of-age ceremony?"

Mo Zhaohua was afraid that she would not remember in time, "Didn't you go to Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony last year?"

That day she took Mu Xueyan to watch the ceremony, but did not take her to Luofengju. Instead, she handed her over to Yueying.

Mu Xueyan remembered Rong Yue's coming-of-age ceremony, but because she was an orphan, she never dared to hope to have one.

She was surprised and happy when she heard this, "Xue'er's parents are both dead, and she has no relatives to rely on. She is considered to be without any relatives or friends. Can she still have the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Mo Zhaohua felt more distressed as he listened to her, "Silly girl, how can you be without any relatives? Don't you have a brother and sister-in-law?"

At first she didn't understand why Mu Xueyan had such an attitude when she first came. Later, when they became closer, she understood the reason.

It turned out that Mu Xueyan was afraid that she, an orphan girl, would be looked down upon and bullied when she came to Prince Yu's Mansion, so she deliberately showed her strength.

But she was still young after all, and although her idea was good, her approach was not good, and she turned her assertiveness into disrespect.

"Sister-in-law..." Mu Xueyan was moved to tears, "I'm sorry, Xue'er was wrong before, and she provoked and bullied sister-in-law."

"It's okay. Xue'er was young and ignorant at the time, and it was just to protect herself. No one will blame you. Xue'er, don't take it to heart."

Ever since Mo Zhaohua became friends with her, she has apologized to him many times, but Mo Zhaohua really has let it go.

Mu Xueyan did not respond and suddenly fell silent. Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanchi looked at each other, both confused.

She was afraid that what she had just said was inappropriate, "Xue'er, what's wrong with you? But what did I say wrong just now?"

Mu Xueyan came back to her senses, "No, thank you sister-in-law for your kindness and consideration for Xue'er, but Xue'er decided to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion."

"Why?" Mo Zhaohua reminded, "Do you know that if Xiao Yan finds out that you are slightly abnormal, you will be killed?"

Mu Xueyan said firmly, "I know, but Xue'er is willing to take a risk to see if she can find out Xiao Yan's true identity."

This was the reason why she was silent just now. She wanted to make up for the mistake she had made, and this was a good opportunity.

In addition, Xiao Yan was able to enter the Prince's Palace, which was considered as her inviting a wolf into the house. She believed that it was her responsibility to resolve this matter.

Henry Chu didn't expect her to solve it, but he was curious about what she would do, "What do you want to do?"

"Put on a show!" Mu Xueyan made up her mind, "Xue'er pretends to fall for his false feelings and gain his trust."

Chu Xuan Chiyuan also thought that if she could cooperate, it would be twice as effective with half the effort, so he confirmed with her, "Xue'er, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure!" Mu Xueyan said firmly, "Xue'er has never been a fool. She knows who she is and what she wants."

Chu Xuanchi was a little worried that she would not do well and something bad would happen. "Then do you know that acting is not an easy thing and it is easy to be exposed?"

Mu Xueyan nodded, "Xue'er knows, but Xue'er feels that as long as she doesn't think that he is a bad person, she can do it as before."

I didn’t pay attention, but I didn’t feel at ease. “But if you don’t think about him as a bad person, you might really fall into the quagmire of emotions.”

"Don't think about it in front of others, but remind yourself behind their backs. Brother and sister-in-law can let Xue'er try first. If Xue'er feels that she can't do it, then we can talk about it."

Chu Xuanchi agreed, "Okay, then you try it. If it's too difficult, tell me in time and we will send you to the Fuguogong Mansion."

Mu Xueyan then left, and Chu Xuanchi and his wife returned to the west wing.

Mo Zhaohua was filled with emotion, "Xue'er has matured a lot. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Chu Xuanchi nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am really pleased to see her like this."

***

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Emperor Wenzong has not yet opened the seal.

An urgent document arrived from the western border, traveling eight hundred miles.

The urgent report was delivered directly to Chengqian Palace, and Li Tuquan quickly took it and submitted it.

Emperor Wenzong hurriedly unfolded it and was immediately overjoyed, "Good news, it's good news, a great victory in the west!"

In the past two years, the war situation in the west has been getting better and better, and the cities that were once lost have been recaptured one by one.

After retaking the last border town last year, the Western Frontier Army decided to take revenge and planned to capture the city of Xiyan.

The good news this time was that the soldiers from the western frontier once again defeated the Western Yan Kingdom and occupied one of its border towns for the first time.

The two countries have been at war since the time of the previous emperor. Not to mention conquering cities and seizing territories, they have not even been able to defend their own cities.

Now the situation has finally turned around, the Western Yan Kingdom was defeated and its cities were captured. How can one not be excited?

Li Tuquan immediately knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Dongling has won a great victory at the beginning of the year. This is an excellent sign."

"Rewards, generous rewards to the Fuguogong Mansion and Jinnanbo Mansion. Don't forget to give the harem a share, generous rewards to Concubine De and Concubine Ning."

Emperor Wenzong's mouth was grinning so much that it almost reached his ears. He began to plan to go to Concubine De's place tonight and then to Concubine Ning's palace tomorrow.

The emperor was happy, and Li Tuquan was also happy, "Yes, I will obey your order."

Emperor Wenzong read the document again and said, "Rong Xiao, Song Cheng'an, good, very good, you are really amazing, hahahaha..."

The news of the great victory in the western frontier soon spread throughout Shengjing City. This was naturally intentional by Emperor Wenzong.

Such a happy event should be celebrated by the whole world, and it should also let the people see his ability as an emperor to select talents.

The people were very happy, but some civil and military officials were happy while others were worried, but most of them were still celebrating.

A small number of people either have some personal grudges against the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo and the Mansion of the Earl of Jinnan, or they just can't stand seeing them doing well.

For example, Mo Yun had a personal grudge against Song Cheng'an. In public, he was very happy, but in private, he was jealous to the point of madness.

Rumor has it that Song Cheng'an has not married yet, and Rong Qing has divorced him a long time ago, so the two have the opportunity to get married.

Even if Rong Qing is unwilling, or the Jinnan Marquis's Mansion looks down on a second-married daughter, at least Song Cheng'an's military achievements are still there.

With this military achievement, when he returns triumphantly, he will surely be given a good official position, and may even be superior to him by then.

The more Mo Yun thought about it, the angrier he got. "Ah...how could Song Cheng'an be so lucky that he could capture the city of Xiyan for Dongling Kingdom?"
