Jiang An stayed in the mansion for five or six days to recover from his illness. In order to accompany the sick Tuanzi, Jiang Jichen took his official business back to the main courtyard.

In the past five or six days, taking medicine has become a major difficulty in Jiang An's life...

The baby had caught a cold and lost a lot of flesh on his face. His chin was vaguely visible and his complexion was no longer as rosy as before. It was so pale that it made people feel distressed.

Tuanzi, wearing only a white undershirt, curled up in the corner of the big bed with a small blanket in his arms, like a wounded little animal showing its fangs, trying to scare off the bad guys.

This almost became a must-do activity for Jiang An every day. In order to coax her to take medicine, fun and novel items from Chongzhou Prefecture were sent to the main courtyard like water.

However, even though the little girl was easy to deceive, she would not be fooled after using the same trick several times.

Jiang (bad guy) Jichen sat on the bed, his stern face full of helplessness.

Children are cute, but they are also really hard to raise. I can't bear to even scold them harshly, let alone hit them.

Jiang Jichen: "How can I get better without taking medicine?"

"Jiang An..."

Being called by a full name always feels a bit oppressive.

Jiang An blinked her red eyes, trying to hold back some tears to gain sympathy. Tuanzi's voice was still hoarse from the fever, making her sound even more pitiful.

"Too painful..."

She looked at her father, as if she saw someone she could rely on, "This medicine is more bitter than Jiang An's life..."

Jiang Jichen found it funny how pitiful Tuanzi was, but he couldn't bear to hear his daughter say this.

The man looked stern, but he gently grabbed the man and brought him to his side. "Nonsense,"

"My daughter's life is not hard."

"Drink the medicine quickly. When you are well, I will take you to the military camp to play. How about that?"

It just so happens that it’s time to let Tuanzi go and recognize his face…

Jiang An's heart was moved.

No matter how big the palace is, it is not as big as Chongzhou Prefecture. She wanted to have seen many beautiful things in the world.

She moved her eyes with difficulty to the dark medicine that Nianniang was holding, and hesitantly stretched out her fat hand.

Just when Niang Niang was relieved that the eldest daughter was going to take the medicine, Jiang An's fat hand turned and grabbed her father's sleeve.

Tuanzi looked at him with hope, "Are there any plums to eat?"

Jiang Jichen pulled the small quilt over her and covered her with it, motioning Niangniang to come closer with the things in her hand.

"Yes, enough!"

Jiang An's face wrinkled into a dumpling as she picked up the medicine bowl. She pinched her nose with one hand and drank the medicine with the other. Even a hero who cut off his arm might not be as tragic as her.

I took the last sip of the medicine, and before my mouth could react, Nianniang quickly and accurately threw a sour plum into it.

The sourness of the plums replaced the bitterness of the medicine, suppressing the unbearable taste in his nose. Jiang An stroked his chest.

"It's great to live another day!"

"Ah…"

Jiang Jichen chuckled, gradually getting used to his daughter's occasional outspoken words.

He pinched the small bun on Tuanzi's head and told Nianniang to take good care of the young lady.

Outside the door, Guan Yan had been waiting for a while.

"Your Majesty, General Xie sent a visiting card, wanting to visit Miss..."

"The military advisor is already waiting for you in the study."

Jiang Jichen, dressed in a navy blue uniform, closed the door to prevent the cold wind from getting in.

The man stood in the porch in front of the door, his face half covered by the rolled-up bamboo curtain. He spoke calmly.

"Let Xie Yunshan come in. Ah An is sick and cannot stand the wind. Just come to the main courtyard."

"Come with me to the study."

Guan Yan raised his head, obviously worried about Xie Yunshan, "Your Majesty, let General Xie enter the main courtyard?"

Before the young lady returned home, the prince's room was a place that the mansion had repeatedly ordered not to enter or leave...

Jiang Jichen: "The young lady's maid is beside you, so don't worry."

Forgive him, the name Nianniang is a little hard to pronounce...

Xie Yunshan's martial arts skills are no match for Niang Niang who was a secret guard, not to mention that there are two brothers, Zhengyan and Zhenglu, in the main courtyard.

"Yes, Guan Yan knows."

At the gate of the palace, the carriage of General Xie's mansion was parked.

This time, the dashing young General Xie did not ride his tall horse again.

"Aqiu..."

Xie Yunshan gathered up his fox fur coat. Under the fur coat, he wore a thick black-gold uniform.

The strong Xie Yunshan even hid a hot water bottle in his wide sleeves.

The charcoal in the carriage was burning brightly,

Yun Yi handed a cup of hot tea to his poor son, "Sir, can the prince let us in?"

No matter how he looked at it, this magnificent palace seemed like a trap...

Mr. Xie twitched his nose in a very unpresentable manner, and his voice became nasal when he spoke.

"Hu Yan has already gone in, why won't you let me in!"

Jiang Jichen had someone pull him out of the warm and fragrant jade and let him blow the cold wind around Chongzhou Mansion for half the night, but he didn't care about it.

What does this mean!

This shows that General Xie has realized his mistake!

"I wrote it all in the memorial. I'm here to apologize!"

Xie Yunshan was the precious legitimate son of the Xie family. He had a brother who was the heir. He rarely saw the concubines' sons and daughters, let alone a child as big as Jiang An.

He really didn't know how the kid caught a cold just because he was riding a horse...

"Thank you General!"

"Your Majesty, please come into the palace!"

Hearing the servant's voice, Xie Yunshan perked up. He got off the carriage quickly, and a gust of wind blew into the palace, carrying his voice in the wind.

"Yun Yi, take the gift I brought!"

Yun Yi rolled and crawled off the carriage, holding the gifts with both hands. He staggered and tilted his head to the side, half of his head poking out from the pile of gifts and shouted, "Master...Master, wait for your subordinates!"

study,

Hu Yan handed the memorial to the prince, lifted up his green robe and sat opposite him.

There is a chessboard between the two of them...

Hu Yan made a move, and the situation on the chessboard changed rapidly. "The soldiers in the camp were worried because their salaries had not been paid yet."

"Some of the junior generals took this opportunity to stir up trouble. I have already locked them up for violating military regulations. Here is the list..."

Jiang Jichen thought for a moment and then placed his black piece. "Ah'an looks much better. Go back to the barracks and make preparations. Tomorrow the king will take her to the barracks to train the soldiers and calm their hearts."

Hu Yan smiled, "Your Majesty, this is a very good move."

Before the military pay was sent out from the capital, Jiang Jichen already knew who had embezzled the military pay.

The reason why he did not take action was that Chongzhou Prefecture was his territory and it was more convenient for him to do things. If he took action in Kyoto, he would inevitably expose the chess pieces in his hand.

Secondly, it was also to teach this arrogant Prime Minister Xie a lesson. Only when the knife is cut on oneself can one experience the feeling.

Whatever Xie Si (the prime minister) eats, he must spit out. This not only damages the chess piece but also creates a rift with his son.

Jiang Jichen suppressed the storm in his eyes and played chess with Hu Yan with a calm expression.

"When you leave, take some silver from the account and give it to the governor."

Hu Yan responded, jokingly saying, "Our governor must be thanking the prince for his kindness even in his dreams..."
