Luo Qingqing was very flustered. What Li Cui didn't know was that the assassination that happened when I returned to Beijing was not an accident at all. She directed and acted it herself.

Li Cui had been there to comfort her, and Luo Qingqing just felt irritated and said: "Can you please stop talking? Instead of using this time, why not go and prepare things for tomorrow's banquet for me!"

Li Cui could only shut up.

What Li Cui didn't know was that the person she was looking for had been killed long ago. The monk who came later was just played by my people. That person's senior brother not only learned more, but also hated evil and hated this kind of opportunistic tricks the most.

So what Li Cui didn't know was that her journey to exchange lives had been interrupted long ago. If I start to exchange lives but fail in the end, then all my bad luck will be transferred to Luo Qingqing.

Luo Qingqing was taking medicine again in the evening. In order to dress up better for the banquet tomorrow, she naturally increased the dosage.

She could hardly bear the original dose, and now with the double dose, she fainted from the pain.

If Li Cui had not discovered Luo Qingqing lying in the water, she would probably have died.

Maybe even God couldn't bear to see Luo Qingqing die so easily, so he had someone rescue her.

After Luo Qingqing woke up, she felt a piercing pain all over her body. She couldn't stand it. The pain lasted for seven or eight hours.

Luo Qingqing had trouble sleeping for only one night. But I slept soundly. Knowing that it was Wen Yiheng who was doing something behind my back, I naturally felt more at ease.

Wen Yiheng still needs my strength, so it is impossible for him to kill me now. He even needs to flatter me. I just wanted to use the same method I used in Yecheng that day.

It is written in operas: If a man saves a woman, the woman will marry him regardless of the consequences and be completely devoted to him.

Wen Yiheng probably wanted me to be like in the drama and pledge myself to him. He seemed to have forgotten that drama is just drama after all, not reality.

The air in Beijing is much better than in Yecheng, at least it is not as dry. I woke up and felt much better.

My complexion is not bad to begin with, although the injury made me look a little haggard, but it can be easily repaired.

As soon as I woke up, Xiao Tao brought me some tonics. My mother treated me very well. When she heard that I was injured, she spent a lot of money to find good herbs for me. Naturally, the money came from my mother's dowry.

Although Luo Qingqing also drank tonics, most of them were not up to par. In Luo Qingqing's opinion, those things were already excellent, after all, she had never seen better ones.

Luo Chen's mother naturally sent some supplements. Although he was not injured, his mother knew that it was cold at the border, so he naturally needed more supplements.

After dinner, I lay in the yard to bask in the sun, which was so comfortable.

The dinner time for the banquet started. After a while, Xiaotao started to dress me up.

Although I was dressed rather hastily on the battlefield, it was impossible for me to attend this banquet in a hasty manner.

After going to Yecheng, I like colorful clothes even more. I think the beauty should be revealed.

So I chose a pink outfit. I have a light complexion, and with some rouge and powder, I look pretty good.

Luo Qingqing always wears light-colored clothes and never wears anything bright.

Every time Luo Qingqing wanted to outshine me, but she felt that relying on dressing well to stand out at those banquets was a mean act.

My mother was also dressed very gorgeously, but none of us dared to wear bright red. At banquets like this, bright red is usually worn by the protagonists. At banquets in the palace, naturally, it was only the Empress who could wear it. The Emperor did not have an Empress, so naturally, no one wore bright red.

Luo Chen himself was also dressed very nicely, wearing a green suit with a wide-sleeved shirt on the outside, which made him look very radiant.

We went together again, just like last time, Luo Qingqing and Luo Wenqian sat together, and I sat with my mother and brother.

Soon, we arrived at the banquet. Many people waved to me when they saw me. Some asked me if I was well. At first, I was confused as to why they asked that.

Later I realized that I had not told anyone when I went to war. Now the emperor had not announced that I was going to war, so naturally many of them did not know about it.

On the other side, Luo Qingqing naturally had many people greeting her, most of whom were concubines who were no longer favored.

The concubines complimented Luo Qingqing. After all, Luo Qingqing had accompanied the fifth prince to Jiangnan not long ago, and this matter was widely circulated among them.

If those concubines could become the prince's concubine, they would be considered to have risen from the tree and become a phoenix. Moreover, Luo Qingqing was not even a concubine. But she actually hooked up with the fifth prince, and most people were asking about her and the fifth prince.

When Luo Qingqing heard this, she immediately lowered her head shyly. This action made the concubines even more excited. Luo Qingqing had been recuperating at home since she came back. They wanted to ask for some news, but Luo Qingqing couldn't see it.

Now they knew that Luo Qingqing had a special relationship with the fifth prince. Even more concubines gathered around her, thinking that if Luo Qingqing became a phoenix, she would not forget them.

After a while, Wen Qiao suddenly appeared beside me, looked at Luo Qingqing's pretentious look, and said: "Some people lack some education, they just stick to anyone. They don't even know their own weight!"

Luo Qingqing naturally listened to these words. Luo Qingqing immediately stepped forward, bowed to Wen Qiao and said: "I heard what Miss Wen said just now. But can you tell me who offended Miss Wen? She was invited by the Fifth Prince. But just now another sister asked. Why is it not acceptable to speak up?"

Luo Qingqing likes to watch others being kidnapped by morality. Now all the concubines looked over. Although these concubines may not have a high status at home, they are brought to the banquet, which naturally represents the face of those people.

Many people have already looked over here, and Luo Qingqing's words really brought many people in. Many people have risen from the bottom through the imperial examinations.

Many officials thought Wen Qiao was blaming them and wanted to speak out.

Wen Qiao wanted to explain, but those people didn't give her a chance. I took Wen Qiao behind me and said, "Miss Wen didn't mention your name. I don't know why you reacted so strongly."

Luo Qingqing was not in a hurry. She felt that this was what she wanted. She immediately continued, "Since you are not talking about me, then Miss Wen, can you tell me who you are talking about? That way we can see who is so blind that the portrait does not belong to him!"

Wen Qiao was furious. She was impatient. I held Wen Qiao and said, "Do I need to report to you who Miss Wen was talking about? It would be fine if you knew she wasn't talking about you. You asked in front of so many people. Do you think Miss Wen was talking about someone between you? Or do you all have this idea and think that you are unhappy about being criticized?"

At this time, those who were watching the show pretended not to hear anything and then dispersed.

Luo Qingqing ran to my ear and whispered: "Why are you so mean? You always ruin my good things."

I also replied in her ear: "Because you are even more despicable! Besides, you don't want me to live a good life, so why should I want you to live a good life?"

The farce was over. Wen Qiao said beside me: "She is really a calculating person!"

I pulled her clothes and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this party, or else if she finds out about us, it will be troublesome. We have plenty of ways to deal with her."

There were compliments all around me, and I dealt with them one by one.

Luo Wenqian was even more embarrassed. After he started selling official positions and titles in the officialdom, many people became his followers. He was the most popular person in the court for a while, but now he was caught in a sore spot by others.

Many other parties were trying to suppress him. This just gave them a reason. Someone came out and said, "Prime Minister Luo. I heard that your lucky star and your niece are both recovering from illness. What's going on?"

Luo Wenqian knew that others were mocking him, but he had no way to refute it. Although I am not sick, I just announced it to the public.

But the emperor didn't say a word, so as a subject it was naturally impossible for him to say anything.

Luo Wenqian could only smile awkwardly and said: "It's normal for people to get sick. I feel much better now. Thank you all for your concern!"

In every circle, there is a chain of contempt, which we are reluctant to admit, but it has always existed.

Everyone was chatting. Soon the emperor came with his concubine and several princes.

The emperor's smile was so big that it almost reached his ears. He immediately said, "I summoned you all here today to welcome our great contributors.

Everyone knows that the Rong tribe has been very restless recently. Our General Wang took our third prince and our Fuxing brothers and sisters to the battlefield.

We have won a great victory in this battle. The people on this frontier finally no longer have to live in fear. Let us raise our glasses today to celebrate and congratulate our heroes who have returned victoriously! "

Everyone looked at me, Luo Chen, and Wen Yichen. Especially me. I was supposed to be recuperating at home. But I didn't expect that I would go to the border to fight.

For a moment, everyone toasted to celebrate. After the celebration, the emperor asked us if we needed anything.

Several of us stepped out of the line, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you can allow the soldiers at the border to have more money to send back home!"

The emperor didn't expect that the three of us would have such thoughts. In his eyes, we should have thought about giving ourselves more rewards. But he didn't expect that we would do this for the border soldiers.

The emperor smiled and said: "You know I am not joking! If I agree, you will not get any reward at all!"

We looked at each other and nodded firmly.

The emperor was very puzzled and asked: "Why do you have such thoughts? Tell me why you have such thoughts!"

Wen Yichen stood up firmly and continued, "My father, when I was at the border, I lived and ate with the soldiers. I know how hard life is at the border. They don't have enough food or warm clothes over there. The tents they live in are all ventilated. I think they are also heroes who serve their country and their families. If there is a reward, it should be given to them!"

The emperor nodded in agreement. I immediately said, "Your Majesty, I saw the same scene at the border. The Third Prince even brought his own money to buy some food and clothing. Otherwise, we might not have won this battle!"

My grandfather immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think so too! When the Third Prince was delivering supplies to everyone, he told the soldiers that the military pay from the emperor had arrived. The border is too bitter and cold, and those soldiers deserve it!"

The emperor's expression changed again and again, and he naturally understood the meaning of the words, which told him openly and secretly that the military pay had been embezzled. The emperor had some tricks to keep his position.

The emperor immediately said with great joy: "My dear ministers, it is a blessing for our Great Yun Dynasty to have such thoughts. It is natural that I want to see the most that you can hold a high position and think about them and the country.

Since you, the heroes, have spoken, then we will naturally follow your wishes. Then we will give more military pay to the soldiers at the border, and we will discuss the specific amount later.

You are the ones who understand border expenditures best, and we will discuss how much to give when the time comes!"

We all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

The emperor seemed to have realized something, and then said: "Give my lucky star more tonics. After all, he has been injured three times. He needs more tonics this time. We can't let our little lucky star suffer any injustice."

A group of eunuchs immediately went down to prepare the tonic as a reward for me.

We returned to our seats and smiled at each other. Everything was settled.

We had discussed these things yesterday. Telling the emperor openly that someone embezzled military pay would certainly alert the enemy. We don't lack anything in this capital, so why not give the money to those who need it more?

Our goal today has been achieved and we can completely relax.

There were already many people around me who came to flatter me, and many of them lamented that a woman like me dared to go to the battlefield, and was injured three times.

Wen Yichen now became a threat in the eyes of those princes. The princes looked at him not with admiration but with jealousy.

I looked at Luo Qingqing and found that Luo Qingqing was looking at me with the same eyes.

Luo Chen was surrounded by other girls, and he stood out among the crowd of boys.

My grandfather is already a powerful person, and now everyone is looking forward to him making another great achievement!
