Bai Yuegang of Prince Ning's Mansion

Chapter 212
Since both of them have no opinion on this transaction, it is difficult for Ruixue to express her own opinion.

Thinking of the firecrackers played by the children in the village, gunpowder and other things are needed to explode.

Since they can make firecrackers, why did they snatch the formula of firearms from Bishui?

Zhao Fengnian explained with a smile: "The things used for fun are different from the things that can be used in battlefield weapons. Although the formula is similar, the effect is very different. The Holy One does not allow anyone to study in private. Many raw materials we have Lan hasn't produced anything, so there hasn't been much progress."

Ruixue nodded half-understanding: "In this case, why didn't you buy it from Bishui at the beginning, and insisted on robbing others, wasting a great opportunity for more than ten years of development."

Zhao Fengnian lowered his head to read the battle report in his hand.

"The mind of the Holy One, who knows."

On the second day, Ruixue and Zhao Fengnian entered the palace stepping on time.

The population of the Zhao family is not prosperous, and compared with the current generation of saints, there is only one uncle who has no future and lives on royal worship, and still stays in the capital.

The rest of the brothers and sisters either returned to the West early or were sent away from the political center of Kyoto.

In Zhao Fengnian's generation, there are only three princes and two little princesses who are not yet ten years old.

This banquet looked really deserted.

In the huge hall, there were few relatives of the emperor sitting there.

The dishes passed through the long corridors of the palace wall, and were served on the table only after being tested for poison by the servants.

No matter how delicate and delicious it is, it is already completely cold, let alone appetite, it is a bit difficult to even put your mouth into your stomach.

A meal is like a stick in the throat, like sitting on pins and needles.

Ruixue wanted to remain dignified, her smirk froze.

After finally getting through it, I was forced to watch the drowsy singing and dancing for half a day.

After giving the gifts with great difficulty, she thought she could finally leave the palace, but was left alone by the empress.

Ruixue felt that things were not good, but she couldn't refuse, because Zhao Fengnian was also called to speak by the Holy One.

He could only lift his spirits, and followed the queen to the Nuan Pavilion in the side hall.

This time the queen didn't make things difficult for her anymore, and gave her a square stool to sit on.

Looking at Ruixue with a smile, she said.

"Princess Ning, don't be nervous. You have helped the Ai family a lot a while ago, and the Ai family will not do anything to you. The Holy One has something to tell Fengnian, so the Ai family will keep you for a while."

Ruixue smiled and did not respond.

This stall called Zhao Fengnian to speak alone in the past, it could be that the military affairs of the northern border had already been arranged.

I really plan to let Zhao Fengnian go back to the north after the Chinese New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, the slack season is over, and after the beginning of spring, farming and production will begin everywhere.

The Northern Territory is not very peaceful. When there is a shortage of people, it is most likely to cause banditry and other things.

Most of the herdsmen in Beique need to move their cattle and sheep to places with abundant water and grass.

During this process, there will definitely be another border dispute with Da Lan.

If Zhao Fengnian, the chief general of the northern border, doesn't go back to sit in command, Da Lan will probably suffer a lot.

Thinking that Zhao Fengnian might really leave the capital this time, Ruixue felt a little bit reluctant.

This inexplicable love made Ruixue a little upset, and she always felt that if Zhao Fengnian was not by her side, she would have less to rely on.

Although she didn't have to rely on Zhao Fengnian, she felt a little empty in her heart.

The empress seemed to see that Ruixue was a little tired.

She said softly: "Princess Ning, do you want to take a nap, there are still two banquets, just being with her is also a waste of energy."

"Ah~!" Ruixue yelled reflexively, is this a new type of torture?

Didn't Zhao Fengnian say that they can leave after the family banquet?

In the afternoon, there was a banquet for officials from all over the country who came to Kyoto to report their duties. In the evening, there was a reception for the dignitaries and foreign envoys in Kyoto.

Hearing what the empress thought, she and Zhao Fengnian would all participate in the company.

This is simply bad news, worse than not letting her eat sweets.

She wasn't full already, and she had to go hungry for two more meals, so she might as well kill her.

He frowned, and held his forehead with his thin white hands, his face full of pain.

"Oh, empress, my niece and daughter-in-law suddenly have a splitting headache. I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the next banquet. It's good that the prince is here. Can my niece and daughter-in-law go back to the mansion to rest first, so as not to lose the royal face."

"Hmph~!" The queen snorted lightly with a half-smile.

"Don't think I can't see your little thoughtfulness, just save yourself, you can't escape. You really plan to leave Fengnian here alone, you really are a cruel little hoof."

Listening to the Queen's tone, it didn't seem like she was angry, but rather like a good-natured elder joking with the younger generation.

Ruixue raised her head and smiled awkwardly.

"For some reason, this feels a lot better. Maybe it's the empress's blessings that protect me."

The Empress gave Ruixue a white look, and laughed "puchi", even the servant behind her couldn't help covering her mouth.

"Same as your mother, very cunning."

Ruixue's eyes widened as if she had heard something secret.

"The empress knows my mother."

"Chen Zhima rotten millet, don't mention it." The queen picked up the handkerchief and nodded her lips, raising her hand to greet the servant behind her.

"Ah Fu, help me to rest, let Princess Ning take a nap here. She will suffer later."

After the words fell, Tingting walked around the screen curlingly, and went to take a nap.

Ruixue was a little excited, and wanted to talk a little more about Li Ningshuang with the empress.

But the Empress seemed to be deliberately teasing people, she didn't accept her, and Ruixue had no choice but to give up.

After the empress left, a maid came to spread incense for Ruixue's couch, and took off the hair crown on her head.

But Ruixue couldn't sleep, she was already hungry, and she was aroused by the queen's curiosity.

After lying down for half an hour, a servant came to tell her that Zhao Fengnian had come to look for her.

After getting up and washing up briefly, Zhao Fengnian's face was a little dark.

I also know that the Holy Majesty probably didn't say anything good to him.

Surrounded by servants, it is not easy to ask, so I can only suppress it first, and then go back and talk.

In a hurry, I went to the main hall where I had dinner in the morning. This time it was much more lively.

He even saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

Gu Jingjue's bright clothes made her skin darker.

Seeing Ruixue and Zhao Fengnian walking side by side, he hurriedly pulled up the big man sitting beside him to say hello.

"I've met King Ning, Princess Ning." Then he touched the stiff man beside him with his arm.

Only then did the big man come to his senses, and clasped his fists at Zhao Fengnian.

"I have admired the general's name for a long time, and I joined the army in the southern border of Gu Chengyun."

There was an expression on Zhao Fengnian's originally cool face, and he bowed back with cupped hands and fists.

"There is someone sitting at the table next to General Gu."

"No, General please."
