Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

Because Qin Xiu had been fighting for many years, he was tall and strong, almost a head and a half taller than Hua Xia.

With his strong and powerful arms, he grabbed Hua Xia's clothes by the back of her neck and lifted her up onto the pony.

Afterwards, Qin Xiu checked that Hua Xia was sitting properly, then climbed onto his horse, held the pony's reins, and slowly headed towards the camp.

After walking for a while, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of Hua Xia. The broad palm was spread out, and a pastry wrapped in oil paper lay in the calloused palm.

Hua Xia took it with amusement, opened the oil paper, and inside was a piece of carved plum cake.

When the plum blossom cake enters your mouth, the fragrance overflows from the tip of your tongue and it tastes a bit sweet.

Hua Xia blinked and looked away.

They wandered to the so-called campsite, which was surrounded by dozens of tents of different sizes. The largest tent in the middle was where Qin Xiu lived.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Let me lead the horse away." Hu Shuo came forward and prepared to take the reins from Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu jumped off his horse and let go of his own reins, but held Hua Xia's tightly in his hand.

"You, come down."

Hua Xia raised an eyebrow: "How do I get off?"

"...stepping on my hand." Qin Xiu stretched out his palm, spread it out and placed it steadily, raising his eyes slightly.

"Your Majesty!" Hu Shuo quickly dropped the reins of the imperial horse, trotted a few steps, and widened his eyes. "Your Majesty, how can this be allowed! Let the queen step on my back."

Hu Shuo bent his waist with his back to Hua Xia. He didn't notice that his majesty was glaring at him coldly. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to maintain his majesty's dignity.

Then he was kicked in the buttocks, and inertia made him run forward a few steps.

"Go away," Qin Xiu frowned.

Hua Xia smiled, clapped the villain's hand with one hand, stepped on the stirrup, and turned over and got off the horse neatly.

Qin Xiu frowned. Such agile movements did not show that he did not know how to ride a horse. This man was lying to him again!

Qin Xiu felt depressed, pulled his hand back, and walked into the tent alone.

Hua Xia didn't move. She turned around and hooked her finger at Hu Shuo: "Come here."

Hu Shuo walked closer tremblingly: "My lady?"

"Don't call me queen, I'm just a little Zhaoyi now."

Hu Shuo thought to himself, she might have been Zhaoyi before, but it might not be the case in the future.

"Royal guard?"

Hu said seriously: "He is a third-rank imperial guard."

"Is there a difference?"

"have......"

"Where is the banknote?" Hua Xia asked.

Hu Shuo was stunned for a moment, then remembered the five thousand taels of silver note: "Your Majesty has taken it."

When they came back, His Majesty asked him to take the banknotes away.

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier." Hua Xia turned and went into the tent.

As soon as she left, all the generals and military officers who were watching nearby came over and asked:

"Guard Hu, who is that woman? I was dazzled just now. His Majesty let that woman step on his hand and dismount?!"

"The person who was with His Majesty just now said that she was the Princess Anbei who came from Nanyue to marry the princess!"

"Yes, I heard it too. His Majesty still looks cold and emotionless. I'm afraid his heart has already fallen on this princess."

"Oh, don't mention it. I've never seen His Majesty like this. He left people for a short while and then rushed back to pick them up. It seems that things are going to change in our Beiqi Palace. His Majesty said before that he would conquer Nanyue after the New Year, but now it seems that this matter is 100% forgotten."

"Princess Anbei really lives up to her title. Nanyue is so wise!"

Hua Xia entered the tent. Perhaps it was because the tent was not soundproof or the generals' voices were too loud, but the discussions outside could be heard clearly in the tent.

"Ahem." Qin Xiu's eyes wandered, "Aren't you hungry? Eat."

In front of him was steaming food, fresh from the oven.

"I shot these myself." Qin Xiu said awkwardly.

"Oh." Hua Xia was indeed a little hungry. She had been listening to Qin Yi's nonsense on the way out of the palace.

The fresh game meat fills your mouth with a burnt aroma.

Qin Xiu didn't eat either. He just watched from the side and occasionally asked where the fight took place.

After eating half full, the noise outside the tent did not stop but became louder and louder.

"Your Majesty, are you watching over people's meals?"

"With this look, I can't help but glance at the human princess."

"Hey, look at how worthless your Majesty is! It really brings shame to Beiqi!"

The last sentence, which was full of regret, sounded particularly loud.

The veins on Qin Xiu's forehead jumped. He could no longer bear it and stood up and walked to the door: "General Qi, discuss the military punishment with your superiors!"

"Puchi." Seeing Qin Xiu's angry and embarrassed look, Hua Xia laughed out loud.

This picture of him jumping up and down because his real secret was spoken is so adorable.

"What's so funny?" Qin Xiu lowered the curtain of the tent, not wanting the cold wind to come in while blocking out any gossiping eyes from outside.

"Your Majesty, please laugh." Hua Xia took a bite of the food with chopsticks.

"What's so funny about me?"

"Your Majesty, don't you want to eat?" Hua Xia asked instead of answering.

"No, I've already used it."

"Then Your Majesty, can you give me the silver note you promised me?"

Qin Xiu subconsciously reached into his arms for the silver bill he had just stuffed in, and at the same time he happened to take out the sachet that he had stuffed into the lining of his inner clothes at some point in time.

Another reason why he thought last night was just a dream was the missing sachet.

The sachet was shrunken, probably because it was pressed tightly when he was sleeping. Qin Xiu carefully hid the sachet.

"Your Majesty, you have all the evidence in your hands, why don't you give me the banknote?"

"I just gave it to you, but you didn't take it." Perhaps because he was afraid that Hua Xia would think he was stingy, Qin Xiu added, "It's not that I won't give it to you, but you have to tell me what you are going to do with the money."

When Qin Xiu woke up, the marriage between the Queen Mother and Nanyue had already been decided. The reason why people said he was tyrannical and ambitious and fought everywhere was actually from Nanyue. Nanyue's national teacher Yun Xuan secretly instigated other countries to wage war against Beiqi, hoping to reap the benefits. As a result, almost all of these countries were destroyed by him and turned into Beiqi's territory.

Yun Xuan was unwilling to accept this, so he set his sights on his stupid younger brother and colluded with foreign enemies.

Shortly after the destruction of Xiqi, one of the four major countries, Yun Xuan calmed down as he watched Beiqi grow stronger and stronger. He encouraged Qin Yi to let the Queen Mother arrange a marriage with Nanyue to ensure that Nanyue would not be suddenly invaded.

This is only one aspect.

After Qin Xiu woke up, he asked someone to investigate the background of the princess who was married off to foreign countries. When he learned that the person she truly loved was Yun Xuan, he confirmed that the princess was actually a spy.

So Hu Shuo was asked to announce the order to dismiss the people.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiu's face became even uglier.

Hua Xia was completely unaware. After having a full meal and drinking, and feeling warmed by the fire in the tent, she began to do her business - asking for money.

"Wow, Your Majesty~" Hua Xia took out a handkerchief from somewhere, covered her face with it and cried, "Your Majesty~ You have to make the decision for me! As soon as I entered the palace, the Queen Mother blamed me for coming a month late and demoted me."

"Yeah." Qin Xiu responded perfunctorily.

"Then, I don't know what happened, but the Queen Mother demoted me three times in a row!"

"Ah."

"The Queen Mother even made me live in Fenghua Palace. I heard someone died there! I couldn't sleep all night long!"
