"Princess, the emperor's reward has arrived." The sound of the door opening creaked into Shen Yiyi's ears along with a voice full of excitement.

Xiao Zhi'er happily ran to the bed, shook Shen Yiyi up, put on her shoes, and kept muttering: "There are so many things, the people who carry things are all lined up at the gate, I haven't seen them yet." I've seen so many babies."

Hui Xin followed closely behind Xiao Zhi'er, pulled Shen Yiyi up to make her stand upright, and gave Shen Yiyi a set of cumbersome women's clothing to put on.After all, Hui Xin was older and more stable than Xiao Zhi'er, and she explained softly to the confused Shen Yiyi: "I heard from my father-in-law that the emperor considered that the time was too tight yesterday, so he moved the reward away." It was delivered today." As she spoke, she couldn't hold back a happy smile, and she praised, "The princess has made great achievements in destroying the enemy this time, and the emperor has rewarded him a lot. And more."

"Two years ago?" Hui Xin said a lot, Shen Yiyi just listened quietly, but these three words caught her attention, "The emperor also rewarded you two years ago?"

"Yes." Hui Xin helped Shen Yiyi put on her coat, and replied casually, "Both General Jiang and his son died in the battle, causing panic. There are a lot of things to appease the princess."

Xiao Zhi'er also interjected excitedly: "Yes, yes, the princess ran to show it to the prince at that time, and the prince was very happy. Who knows, after only a month or so, the prince..."

"Xiao Zhier!" Hui Xin shouted, and Xiao Zhier shut her mouth quickly in fright.She quickly glanced at Shen Yiyi, seeing that the princess's face was normal, she changed the subject and urged: "Princess, let's go out quickly, the father-in-laws from the palace should be waiting."

"En." Shen Yiyi nodded and walked out.

In front of the main courtyard hall, two rows of palace people stood neatly, headed by an elderly father-in-law.Seeing Shen Yiyi coming out, he immediately bowed to laugh with him: "It's really wrong to bother the Princess, but today we are here to present a reward for the Emperor, Princess please forgive me."

Shen Yiyi gave her a hand, and replied: "I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law."

The father-in-law chuckled and said, "Then shall we start?" Then he took out a bright yellow scroll and read it sharply: "By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Princess Shenyi wiped out more than ten thousand enemies. It must be given, two boxes of gold, five boxes of treasures, ten bolts of silk..."

"Here." The father-in-law finished reading, closed the scroll, and resumed his flattering smile, "Hey, princess, please get up quickly, let's go first."

"Eunuch, go slowly." Shen Yiyi nodded politely and was about to see off the guests, but Huixin beside him strode forward and handed over a bag of bulging purses, "Elder-in-law, you have worked hard, and I will give these to all the father-in-laws." Have some tea."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The father-in-law smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he walked away step by step.

Shen Yiyi gave a "tsk" in surprise, somehow, seeing some negative things, she had the real feeling of entering the fast-traveling world.

"Princess, are you carrying all of these into the warehouse?" Xiao Zhier groped and asked, looking around.

Shen Yiyi was also stunned, she didn't know this, so she had to turn to Hui Xin for help.

"Let's move to the library, leave a few bolts of silk, and make some clothes for the princess." The housekeeper standing aside spoke first.

"Alright." Shen Yiyi nodded readily, and was about to turn around and go back to her room when she thought of something and added, "You guys should make new clothes too. Set up."

"Hey, thank you Princess." The housekeeper bowed heavily and thanked.

Shen Yiyi smiled, turned around and walked into the house.

"Princess, what about Miss Luo?" Huixin reminded.

"Miss Luo?" Shen Yiyi was stunned, why did another girl Luo appear?

"Luo Feixue, the orphan girl rescued by Princess Shen Yi on his way back to the capital, she is placed in Yu Wang's mansion. She is gentle and good at mixing fragrances." No. 014 quickly read out the profile of Miss Luo.

"Well, it's the same for her, buy some for her too." Shen Yiyi walked to the door of the boudoir and stopped again.She really has nothing to do, besides, she just went to the palace yesterday, and she would go too frequently today.After thinking about it, Shen Yiyi turned her head and said to Huixin: "I haven't seen Miss Luo for a long time, let's go and see her."

"Long time no see, Miss Luo, are you all right?" Shen Yiyi was talking nonsense to the completely unfamiliar face in front of her, without blushing or beating her heart.

"My daughter is fine, but I'm a bit tired seeing the princess." Luo Feixue looked generous, and spoke neither humble nor overbearing, as if she wasn't afraid of Shen Yiyi's status as princess.

"I have just developed a kind of Anhe incense here. The princess burns this incense when she sleeps, so that she can sleep peacefully at night." Luo Feixue took out a wooden box and handed it to Shen Yiyi, and thoughtfully explained how to use it.

Shen Yiyi opened it, and saw a few pieces of incense lying in the box, and she could smell a faint warm fragrance when she got close.She sniffled and said with a smile: "This smells delicious, I'm reluctant to order it."

Miss Luo covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed a few times, then said unhurriedly: "I always like to smell this fragrance, so I added some on purpose. It seems that this is my fault."

"Is it specially scented?" Shen Yiyi picked up the incense block in amazement, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, "Then, you can also mix out the incense without scent?"

When Xu Shi talked about her expertise, Ms. Luo glanced at Shen Yiyi with some pride, and replied confidently: "That's natural, not to mention no fragrance, even if there is no fragrance, I can still make it out." .It’s just that, without the taste, what’s the point of making fragrances.”

Shen Yiyi had only smelled the incense in the censer in the market, and she didn't know anything about mixing incense. She was shocked by this, and put the incense in her hand back into the box with great care, and said with a sneer : "You are right, tasteless incense is indeed less meaningful."

Luo Feixue saw that she didn't know anything about fragrances, so she wasn't angry, she just asked: "I guess the princess didn't come to listen to my nonsense, but I don't know what advice the princess has?"

"Ah..." Her casual question stopped Shen Yiyi from asking. She couldn't say that she was just bored, so she came here for a walk.Shen Yiyi had no choice but to repeat what she said to Tu Xin: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm a little bit worried, so I came to see you." After speaking, Shen Yiyi lost interest immediately.In the final analysis, Luo Feixue was a friend rescued by Princess Shen Yi, she had nothing to do with her, and she had nothing to talk about, so there was really no need to stay any longer.

"I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first." Shen Yiyi stood up and bid farewell to Miss Luo.She turned around neatly, but she saw a trace of confusion in Luo Feixue's eyes, it should be that the previous Princess Shen Yi had a close relationship with her, and she had never left in a few words like now.

Huixin put away the box containing An Hexiang that Shen Yiyi put on the table, gave a slight bow to Luo Feixue and followed Shen Yiyi and left.

After turning around a few corridors, I walked back to the bedroom.Xiao Zhi'er opened the door one step ahead of her, and left with the teapot to make tea.Hui Xin put down the incense box and asked: "Master, are you going to the morning court tomorrow?"

Go to morning?Countless thoughts flew through Shen Yiyi's mind. She had been thinking about ways to get in touch with Jiang Di, but she had never thought of such a way before. Take effort.

"I," Shen Yiyi was about to blurt out that of course she was going, but she was afraid that her performance would make Hui Xin suspicious, so she paused, and then continued calmly, "It's business as usual."

"Understood, then I will tell the housekeeper later, and ask him to prepare the carriage early tomorrow, so as not to delay you, princess."

Life in ancient times was very boring. Not long after the sun went down at night, Shen Yiyi got into bed, looked at her and lit her heart.

It was An Hexiang that she had just obtained from Miss Luo in the morning. Shen Yiyi was very curious about the power of this incense, whether it could really sleep peacefully overnight as Luo Feixue said.

This An He Xiang is also strange, at first when I brought it in front of me and smelled it carefully, it was just a light fragrance.But once it was ignited, the aroma inside would keep coming out, and after a short while, the whole room was filled with a strong aroma of incense. This smell seemed to turn into a substance, and it pressed towards Shen Yiyi, pressing her like her whole body They were all trapped in the quilt, and they couldn't even open their eyes.

By the time Shen Yiyi opened her eyes again, it was already the second day.

Xiao Zhi'er put a towel on her hand and said with a smile: "Princess, you slept really deeply. Sister Huixin and I yelled for a long time before waking you up. I was afraid that you might miss the morning."

It was also rare for Huixin to tease and said: "Yes, Princess, if I had known this, I would not have lit incense for you last night."

"Is this fragrance so miraculous?" Shen Yiyi frowned and looked around, there were still a few traces of fragrance in the air.

It wasn't until she stood in the court hall that Shen Yiyi felt that the smell had finally dissipated.

She was still wearing a set of soft armor at this time, standing in front of a group of military officers in high spirits, listening to Emperor Changwu talking on the throne.

The hundreds of officials in the court argued, Shen Yiyi was dizzy, and after listening for a long time, she managed to sort out the general idea.

It turns out that wars have been raging year after year. In order to ensure sufficient supplies ahead, taxes have been levied in recent years, and the people are complaining.Now that the borders are secure, officials are arguing again about whether to cut taxes to ease public concerns or keep raising taxes to prepare for a rainy day.

Emperor Changwu thought deeply on his forehead and finally made up his mind: "Our country is vast and the borders are constantly suffering. Therefore, the people have been suffering unspeakably because of the high taxes for years. However, the wars on the borders have temporarily calmed down. The barbarians dare not invade within three years, and only half of the garrison soldiers remain. Naturally, the burden of the common people should also be unloaded. From now on, all tax increases will be reduced or exempted!"

There was a sudden uproar in the hall, and a minister boldly said: "If the barbarians commit another crime, what should we do?"

"If the barbarians commit crimes again," Emperor Changwu said with a dignified expression, "Your loves will definitely use the strength of the whole family to fill the treasury and support the front."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers who were still arguing just now fell silent, and all bowed their heads in fear.

Emperor Changwu squinted his eyes to look at the courtiers, and continued to ask: "Is that so?"

A few short words are like a mountain, crushing all the ministers above the court, they can only shout loudly: "What the emperor said is absolutely true!"

Only then did Emperor Changwu smile with satisfaction, giving the sweaty courtiers some breathing room.

With this lesson in mind, although there were occasional debates on the following topics, they were all subtly controlled in a small range until a trembling official came out.

The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground, and everyone was silent, even breathing very softly.

The only voice came from the official: "My Majesty, the Suiping bandits have broken through Sisha, gathered [-] refugees, entered the Wuyi crossing, and are heading for the capital!"
