Chapter 41
The banquet at Zhenguo Duke's Mansion began to disperse one after another until nightfall. Yuan Fuwei was so drunk that he fell unconscious. It was the attendants who carried him into the car.

The madam also drank two glasses of wine, her face was a little red, and she was a little dizzy when she was blown by the cold wind when she went out.

Among the three people in the group, only Yuan Miaoyi had not touched a drop of wine on his lips.

Afraid that Mrs. Tai would feel uncomfortable in the carriage, and as the night was already dark, Grandma Liu rolled up the curtain of the carriage to a small angle.

The spring breeze is always soft and comfortable, and the slow night breeze blows in, making the wife a little drowsy.

She thought of the noble family members who had inquired about Yuan Miaoyi from her today, openly and secretly, and couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look at her granddaughter.

Some dim lights in the carriage shone on Yuan Miaoyi's young and beautiful face, which made her maintain etiquette at all times even in the carriage. Yuan Miaoyi, who was sitting there, looked like an antique maid painting, revealing her gentleness. There is a hint of mystery.

The way Mrs. Tai looked at her, she suddenly remembered that she had never seen Yuan Miaoyi in any other way in all these years since Pei Linlang passed away.

No matter what happened or what situation she was in, all she saw was Yuan Miaoyi's gentle and dignified appearance.It seems that even if the sky falls and the earth falls, she will not lose her luster.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Mrs. Tai's heart, as if she had never seen through her granddaughter.

Perhaps the wife looked at Yuan Miaoyi for too long. Yuan Miaoyi seemed to notice her gaze and turned to smile at her: "Grandma is still a little dizzy. Granddaughter, could you please roll up the curtain?"

There was a light smile in Yuan Miaoyi's tone when she spoke, and the solemnity was instantly broken.
When Mrs. Yuantai came back to her senses, she also felt that her thoughts just now were a bit funny.

No matter what, Yuan Miaoyi is just a teenage girl. Mrs. Yuan Tai boasts that she has seen so many things with her husband and has experienced many ups and downs in her life. How can she not be able to see through a little girl?

Mrs. Yuantai rubbed her forehead: "No need, I will arrive at the Marquis' Mansion soon."

She thought that she was really drunk tonight and started to think wildly.

The carriage soon staggered to a stop at the gate of the Marquis Mansion. Yuan Fuwei was somewhat conscious now, but still wanted someone to help him walk.

Liu Shutang sent the people around him to wait at the gate of the inner courtyard, and as soon as they saw him, they led him into his own courtyard.

The madam was getting older, and when she got off the carriage and was blown by the wind, she felt a little dizzy. Aunt Liu quickly helped her back to the main courtyard.

The remaining Yuan Miaoyi also returned to her courtyard. Although she did not drink alcohol today, she got up early in the morning to dress up. She was still a little tired after all the hard work.

After Aunt Cui and Bai Zhi took off her hairpin and makeup, Yuan Miaoyi hurriedly washed herself and said she wanted to rest.

After all, Aunt Cui is old enough, and Yuan Miaoyi never lets her do night watch.She also didn't like to have people around her when she was resting, so the maid on night duty always rested in the wing.

After everyone exited the inner room, Yuan Miaoyi took out the small note that Nanguan gave her today.

The writing on the paper is made of iron and painted with silver hooks.There seems to be a trace of solemnity in every bend.They say words are like people.Yuan Miaoyi could guess that this small note was written by Xiao Yunyue himself just by looking at it.

The note contained detailed information about what he had discovered in the past few days. At the end, he also said that he had sent people to Shuzhong and that there would be new news in the near future, so he comforted her not to worry.

Yuan Miaoyi's people had been investigating for so long but there was no news. Xiao Yunyue came back and checked within a few days and found some clues. It can be seen that he really took this matter to heart.Yuan Miaoyi carefully folded the letter and put it in the locked cabinet.After lying back on the bed, he sighed silently.

She had never been so upset over someone in her entire life.She believed in Xiao Yunyue's sincerity at this moment and did not want to let him down.

But sincerity is ever-changing, and only when interests are connected can it be unbreakable.

There is such a huge gap in status between her and him. If one day in the future, Xiao Yunyue changes his mind, how will she deal with it?
Yuan Miaoyi sank into the soft bed and lost sleep again.

Xiao Yunyue on the other side also drank a lot today. After all, it was a wedding event, so everyone was more relaxed than usual.As the best man, Xiao Yunyue blocked a lot of wine from Song Huaiyi.

It's just that although the wine in Shengjingzhong is mellow, it is stronger than that in Bubianguan.Xiao Yunyue drank a lot as a visitor, but at this time he just felt more energetic and not drunk at all.

As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, the waiter in the study said that a secret letter had been delivered today, so Xiao Yunyue went to the study instead.

As soon as he saw the paint on the letter, Xiao Yunyue knew that this was news from Youyun's Sixteenth Cavalry, and he had a rough idea of ​​the content of the letter.

Xiao Yunyue took it apart and saw that the spies sent into the grassland a few days ago had paid off.

Meng Shu wrote in the letter that the new tribe on the grassland that followed Rouran and brought together various tribes was called the Tataer tribe, which migrated westward from the other end of the grassland.

There were many strong men in the tribe, and they were good at fighting. When the news came back, many tribes who were still waiting and watching had already moved closer to them.

After Rouran went north, the grassland was almost in a state of scattered sand.Although there are several larger tribes, they have not achieved much success.If someone can gather them together at this time, it will not be a good thing for Dayan.

Nanguan knocked on the door with the sobering soup sent by the eldest princess. After Xiao Yunyue said to come in, he pushed the door open and saw Xiao Yunyue frowning at the information.

Nanguan has seen Xiao Yunyue thinking about his sweetheart so much these days, and how gentle and cheerful he looks in front of his sweetheart, that he has almost forgotten how he gets down to business.

There are no maids in the Hou Mansion. Earlier, the eldest princess was afraid that someone had bad intentions and it would be bad if Xiao Yunyue was led astray.

Later, Xiao Yunyue was used to fighting in the army and was not used to having a woman serving him by his side.Nanguan said he was a close guard, but he also took care of some trivial matters around Xiao Yunyue.

Xiao Yunyue watched Nanguan put down the tea cup in his hand and knew that it was what his mother asked him to bring.Although he didn't like the taste of sobering tea, he didn't want to betray his mother's kindness, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The sour and bitter taste made Xiao Yunyue shudder, and this time he was completely awake.He folded the secret letter in his hand and planned to go to the palace tomorrow.

After folding it, he asked Nanguan: "Has the small note been sent?" Nanguan nodded: "It has been sent to Mrs. Yuan Er."

Xiao Yunyue replied: "I will go to the palace alone tomorrow. Keep an eye on Zhang Zhao. If there is any news, get back to me as soon as possible."

"Yes."
