Prince Zhongshun, also known as the Right Wise King of the Northern Tartars, personally led a team to come on behalf of the Northern Tartars to accept the title and surrender. The emperor was very pleased and held a grand banquet for all his ministers.

Lord Yan, the chief clerk of the Honglu Temple, also known as Lu Qing, was a great contributor to this event and was also among the ministers.

Lu Qing returned from meeting the emperor in the palace and reported to Su Fengyi about the situation of his mission to the northern barbarians.

It turns out that people need to go through things in order to grow. In just a few months, Lu Qing was reborn. He was still the same person, but his temperament was completely different.

She is no longer the little girl who could only hide in the backyard, contented with happily eating melon seeds and gossiping all day long, but a capable and useful subordinate.

Lu Qing did not mention the difficulties encountered during his mission to persuade the Northern Barbarians to surrender.

Instead, he picked some funny things to amuse Su Fengyi, and boasted about how powerful he was, how he could fight ten people alone and debate with dozens of Northern Tartar nobles, making these people burst into tears and cry and shout to surrender.

Lu Qing was talking with great enthusiasm, her face beaming with joy, and she couldn't stop.

Su Fengyi was happy for her, and seeing Bai Guo and the others waiting for her at the door, she smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, I know that our Lu Qing is the most powerful.

You have worked hard along the way. You have made great contributions this time. You will definitely receive rewards from the palace in a few days. Go back and have a good rest and wait for the imperial order.

They have been waiting for you for a long time. They have also prepared your yard for you. It is next to Wutong's yard. Go and see if it suits your taste."

Lu Qing looked back and saw Bai Guo leaning against the door of the study room, with only his head sticking out and a smile on his face:

"Hey Hey Hey."

Dangui stood behind her, holding a handkerchief and gently waved it at her:

"Come, come, come."

Wutong stood beside Dangui with his arms folded. He didn't say anything, but raised his head and gestured to her:

"Go, hurry up."

This scene is really weird.

Lu Qing felt a little uneasy and asked weakly:

"Your Highness, what happened to them?"

Su Fengyi probably knew what happened to them.

Studying makes people crazy. Wutong and her classmates have been doing exercises for more than a month and have finally reached the stage of writing policy papers.

Writing policy papers cannot be done by memorization; it requires understanding and talent. No matter how many model essays one has read, when it comes time to write one's own essay, one often cannot write a single word for a long time. This worries Wutong and the others so much that they want to bang their heads against the wall in the middle of the night.

Now that Lu Qing is back and there is someone to share the pain with, Wutong and the others naturally can't wait to drag Lu Qing into the water.

Su Fengyi smiled and told Lu Qing:

"They have reserved a seat for you at Mr. Bai's place, go ahead."

Lu Qing walked to the door in a daze and was grabbed by Bai Guo. The three of them snatched Lu Qing away like kidnappers, demanding that Lu Qing share the joys and sorrows with them.

As a result, the three of them regretted their decision the next day.

There is no harm without comparison. Human joys and sorrows are different. The suffering is theirs, not Lu Qing's.

The three of them just couldn't write it, no matter how hard they banged their heads against the wall.

Because Dangui was in charge of Su Fengyi's personal relationships, she often read and wrote posts. After reading so many polite remarks, she could also write a few.

As for Wutong, although she couldn't write, she was very good at memorizing. She could memorize a whole book a day. After memorizing countless model essays, she pasted a sentence here and changed it there, and she could barely write.

The one who suffered the most was Baiguo. She was good at calculating with an abacus, one was one, two was two, and she had reasons and evidence. But writing articles was really difficult for her, and she often didn't know where to start for a long time.

Why didn’t the imperial examination test count? Bai Guo often expressed this feeling.

Compared with their suffering, the transfer student Lu Qing only spent one day in class and a cup of tea, and he had already finished the policy essay assignment assigned by Mr. Bai and handed it in ahead of schedule.

Facing the puzzled looks from the three people, Lu Qing was also puzzled:

"You haven't finished yet? It's just writing an article, it's easy, how can it be difficult?"

The friendship was broken at any time. Lu Qing was tickled by the three men and could not escape. She cried, laughed and shouted:

"Haha, haha, I was wrong! I was wrong! It's difficult! It's difficult! Haha, stop scratching, stop now, haha, I'll teach you, there is a routine, really, really! Hahahaha..."

……

Shen He also attended the palace banquet yesterday. Because the Shen family had done a great job during this period, the emperor was very happy and gave Shen He unprecedented honor and favor, allowing him to stay overnight in the palace, so he left the palace today.

After Shen He came out of the palace, he did not go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion that the emperor had previously bestowed on him.

Xiao Guo has been cleaning up that house recently, hiring people, repairing the roof, replacing tiles, paint and furniture. If someone really wants to live there, he can actually do so.

But Shen He didn't think twice and went straight back to the Princess's Mansion. He took a bath and changed his clothes first, asked Xiao Guo about Shen Quan's return, and then went to see Su Fengyi.

Su Fengyi received him in the study. Before she could speak, Shen He said:

"I have asked the Emperor for permission to go to sea, and the Emperor has agreed."

This news was really sudden, Su Fengyi asked him:

"Once we go to sea, it may take several years. Have you discussed this matter with General Shen?"

Shen He smiled:

"Your Highness, in fact, I am one year older than you. I am not a child. I can make the decision without my brother's consent, right?"

Su Fengyi didn't know what happened during the Northern Barbarians' surrender. Not only had Lu Qing changed a lot, but Shen He also seemed like a different person.

Shen He is no longer the young man that people can see through at a glance. Su Fengyi looked at the smile on Shen He's face which was completely different from his previous smile and felt that she seemed to no longer be able to see through what he was thinking.

Shen He still smiled like that:

"I heard about your highness and my brother. Congratulations. My brother will definitely be happy. That's great."
