Yunmeng looked at the invitation again and again. Chunzhi also leaned forward curiously and frowned after seeing the contents clearly.

"Why is it another palace banquet?"

"It's normal to hold a banquet for a new queen. It would be abnormal not to hold a banquet."

Yun Meng put the invitation on the table. "The palace has a lot of banquets these days. I have to prepare gifts."

Yunmeng looked at Chunzhi and asked, "What should I give you this time?"

"No matter what we give them, they won't be nice to us after accepting our gifts. I really don't want to give them any gifts."

Yunmeng gave a thumbs up after hearing what she said. What Chunzhi said made a lot of sense. She didn't want to give a gift because that would be using her money.

But not sending a gift is not an option. This is the auspicious day when Concubine Shu becomes the Queen. Not sending a gift would just be asking for trouble.

Tsk, the ways of the world are a lot to learn and not at all as interesting as the world of cultivating immortals.

In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. It is possible for the strong to give gifts to the weak. Of course, rewards are allowed.

Oops, Yunmeng slapped his forehead and realized that the topic had gone off track again. Now he was talking about giving gifts to the queen.

Yun Meng, who didn't want to think, quickly came up with an idea, "Chunzhi, tell Madam Qian to prepare a gift."

Chunzhi responded and hurried to find Nanny Qian.

Nanny Qian, who was checking the embroidery room and preparing new clothes for Yunmeng, was not surprised at all when she heard the news. She even pulled Chunzhi to show off the new clothes.

As early as after the news of Concubine Shu's promotion to Queen came out, Nanny Qian had been waiting for this day and had already prepared clothes for Yunmeng to attend the banquet.

Chunzhi was stunned when she heard this. This man was too capable. He had thought of it before the princess.

Madam Qian looked at the silly girl Chunzhi and couldn't help but said, "Silly girl, you should be more careful and learn more in the future.

We can’t wait until something happens to find a solution.”

"Okay, okay." Chunzhi agreed, but as for whether he could do it or not, that was unknown.

Anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you agree to it first.

Nanny Qian was a little overwhelmed. This girl was the most popular person around the princess and would definitely become a housekeeper in the future.

How can a woman with such a narrow mind be a good housekeeper?

Chunzhi, unaware of Nanny Qian's complicated feelings, left happily and went back to report.

After the news of the ceremony to establish the queen spread, the capital city became bustling, but of course there were more disappointed people.

The Minister of Rites did not expect that Emperor Yong'an had no moral principles. Not only did he issue an imperial decree first, but now he has also sent an invitation for him to attend the ceremony of crowning the empress. What does this mean?

Is it a slap in the face or showing off?

The Minister of Rites immediately formed an alliance with someone overnight without saying anything, and vowed to make a death-defying protest at the court tomorrow morning.

Yun Meng asked the old housekeeper to find out the date when the Yun family would return to Beijing, and then sent people to take care of the Yun family's house and renovate the yard.

We can move in directly when the Yun family comes back. It’s perfect.

The old servant left by the Yun family was very happy to know that the young lady had sent someone back to help him. It seemed that the madam's love for the young lady was not in vain.

After arranging the work at hand, Yunmeng, the shopkeeper, had nothing to do, so he decided to take Chunzhi shopping.

Chunzhi was happy when she heard this. She thought shopping was a good idea. She hadn't gone shopping for a long time.

They want to go to the West Market, which is more interesting than the East Market.

Yunmeng has the same idea. After visiting the West Market, you can also buy night snacks. The night snacks in the West Market are very rich.

Before the two of them even left the house, they had already discussed what delicious food was available. They wanted to go and eat to their heart's content.

An Shisan also drooled after hearing this. Well, ever since he followed the princess, the food has been getting better and better.

An Shisan touched his waist and found that it had gained two sizes of weight.

Practice more tomorrow. If you gain weight any more, the princess will have to replace her secret guards.

Yunmeng took Chunzhi and the guards out. Before they got on the carriage, they saw Ah Hua appear hurriedly.

Ah Hua is in charge of intelligence. Unless it is an urgent matter, Ah Hua will not come here on her own initiative.

Did something happen?

Yunmeng stopped on the carriage, turned around and went back to the palace. She decided to listen to what Ah Hua had to say first.

Ah Hua did not go through the main gate, but went around to the side door to enter the palace.

Yunmeng met Ah Hua in the study room in the front yard. Looking at the anxious Ah Hua, he asked, "What happened?"

"At noon today, the prince's personal soldier Wang Wei left the manor and met with someone secretly."

Ah Hua went straight to the point and stated her intention without beating around the bush.

"The brother sent to keep an eye on Wang Wei had been undercover in Dongqing for five years. He could tell at a glance that the person meeting Wang Wei was from Dongqing."

"Oh, so there is something wrong with Wang Wei, and it's a big problem." Yun Meng murmured.

Ah Hua nodded with red eyes. Who could have thought that the spies from Dongqing Kingdom were lurking among the prince's personal guards.

"Has the contact person been arrested?" Yunmeng asked.

"No, we sent people to follow secretly, hoping to find more spies from Dongqing Kingdom." Ah Hua looked at Yun Meng and asked,

"Are you going to arrest Wang Wei?"

"No rush. Since we know there's something wrong with Wang Wei, why not use him as a bait to see what they want to do with him?"

Yun Meng supported his chin and thought to himself that the King of Qi was not a fool. Why did he keep either spies or ungrateful people around him?

Ah Hua nodded in agreement and said hesitantly, "Wang Wei has lived in Zhuangzi for quite some time, and I'm worried that someone might be bribed by him.

I want to sort out the people in Zhuangzi, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay." Yun Meng nodded readily. She felt that Ah Hua and the others were so thoughtful. It was one less thing for her to worry about.

Wang Wei had lived in the manor for such a long time that he must have made friends with quite a few people, and he might have hired quite a few spies, either openly or secretly.

In this case, there is no harm in combing through it.

So Yunmeng praised Ah Hua a lot, making Ah Hua blush.

My god, the princess is not only beautiful, but also very eloquent. Her praise really touched her heart.

Ah Hua felt a little elated, and she really enjoyed chatting with the princess.

After seeing Ah Hua off, it was already getting late and today’s shopping plan failed!

Yunmeng had nothing to do, so she walked to the gate of the mansion and waited for Mo Bao to return.

I hope Mobao can see her the first thing he sees when he returns home. How wonderful!

At the garrison in the border town, Bai Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, coldly looking at the corpse in front of him.

This man is nominally the emperor's man, but secretly defected to the King of Wei. Now that the King of Wei has fallen, this man does not want to apologize, but actually wants to rebel!

Oh, what are you thinking?

Bai Chengxin said he deserved to die!

After the formalities, Bai Cheng immediately promoted a deputy general to replace the deceased's position.

Those who were promoted were very happy. After all, it is not wartime now and it is very difficult to move up a step.

However, several generals died in the camp during this period, and all the vacant positions were promoted on the spot, which allowed several people to take advantage of the situation.

The atmosphere in the camp was one of joy and sorrow.

But Bai Cheng didn't know that rumors were flying around in the camp. Everyone was saying that Bai Cheng had sent people to assassinate meritorious soldiers in order to gain power.

The military is a place where you can gain a foothold based on your ability.

They were already very resistant to Bai Cheng, the paratrooper, and now that this rumor has spread, everyone's impression of Bai Cheng has become even worse.
