A bucket of water is enough to prevent thirst for children and the elderly. If there's still some left, they can cook a pot of porridge. As long as they don't starve, that's all that matters. 。But wh...For the seven days of mourning, almost all officials and high-ranking government officials had gone to pay their respects.

It can be said that the Empress almost single-handedly took down half of the court.

But no one dared to utter a single word of dissent, nor did their expressions betray even the slightest lack of piety.

Finally, the day has come when all three princesses have grown up.

The Emperor also appeared, sending his empress on her final journey.

As the massive coffin was carried out of the palace gates and transported to a royal temple a hundred miles away, awaiting the emperor's burial after his death.

Everyone felt a weight lift off their shoulders, the grueling task was over.

Of course, all feasting and weddings are still forbidden in the New City.

Jia Yin originally wanted to go home with grandma, but seeing the Third Princess's bad complexion, she decided to stay and keep her company for a while.

Mrs. Li wasn't too worried either.

Formerly, she was worried that the Third Princess would bully her granddaughter, but these days, she could see clearly.

The Third Princess, though born into a noble family, lacked love in her childhood. Now that she gets along well with Jia Yin, she treats Jia Yin as her own sister, fiercely protecting and caring for her.

It is she, this grandmother of theirs, who benefits greatly by loving everyone around her...

Jia Yin and the Third Princess returned to Zhilan Palace. They didn't do anything much, just chatted idly and had some snacks and tea.

But it was this plain and relaxed atmosphere that allowed the Third Princess to finally release the last bit of resentment in her heart.

As for my mother, no matter if it's resentment, heartache, or injustice, in the end, she has passed away and all traces will disappear...

A little fox came from somewhere unknown, jumped onto the table, and wagged its big tail.

Jiao Yin was delighted and held the little one for a while before being snatched away by the third princess.

Fluffy little animals have always been a comfort and solace for the lonely.

She was the third princess, holding a fish cake and leading the little fox to hop around. She giggled with laughter.

As the sun began to set in the west, the two were about to leave the palace.

The Third Princess was taken to the Kunning Palace, wanting to take a few of the Empress's old things as a keepsake.

When Jia Yin was idle, she stood under the shade of a tree outside the door to enjoy the cool.

Coincidentally, General Yi came over to deliver something to the third princess and saw Jiayin, so he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"My Lady, are you well Haven't you left the palace yet The sun is rather strong today, My Lady. Why haven't you gone in"

Jia Yin's big eyes curved into a smile as she replied, "Thank you, Steward, for your concern. The princess is busy tidying up things, and I can't help much either, so I came out to stand for a while. You came over to deliver something Why not send a little eunuch on an errand"

Yi Zongguan didn't respond. He handed the items to the eunuch and sent him in. Then he stood beside Jia Yin and said, "The Emperor is thinking of the princess and has bestowed some jewels to cheer her up! This old slave was afraid those boys would fumble and break something, so I came personally."

Jia Yin nodded and stepped aside, letting Yi Zongguan stand in the shade.

Yi Zong's eyes flashed, he glanced around silently, then said, "The Empress passed away, the Emperor is particularly worried about the princess, fortunately, the Princess has the County Master by her side."

Last night, the Emperor even allowed Xin Ting Hou to visit his daughter who had entered the palace. He must be putting himself in their shoes, wouldn't you say

Then this final sentence was rather abrupt. Hearing it, Jiayin was momentarily taken aback before she smiled and replied, "Indeed, there isn't a parent in the world who wouldn't love their children."

Yi Zongtang relaxed inwardly and changed the subject, talking about refugees outside the city.

When the little eunuch received his reward and came out, he left.

Jia Yin blew at the warm wind, her expression slowly turning cold.

The matter of Duke Dingbei entering the palace last night, Xiao Hu already told her about it.

But specifically why, the little fox did not find out.

The study is unlike the West Ridge Pavilion of the prince, where even little foxes are allowed to come and go freely.

Although she was puzzled, she didn't feel overly urgent. After all, the border had already been retaken, and the Northern campaign was about to end.

The emperor wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

The only thing you need to remember is that when your stepfather returns, he will be held accountable.

But at that time, if the stepfather handed over military power in a timely manner and retreated southward by boat, it wouldn't be too difficult.

Ke Yi's manager also reminded her that Ding Bei Hou entering the palace wasn't a simple matter...

When the Third Princess led her people out of the gate, she saw that Jia Yin's face was not good. She asked, "What's wrong Is it too hot"

Jia Yin quickly adjusted her mood and replied, "Yes, it's so hot that I feel dizzy."

"Come, let's go home quickly." The third princess took her arm and they walked out together.

As a result, when they reached the palace gate and were about to get into the carriage, someone suddenly stepped forward.

"Princess, please wait. I have a gift for you."

The Third Princess and Jia Yin both turned their heads, and saw a middle-aged scholar bowing. He wore a blue robe, had his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, and his expression was respectful yet not humble, gentle and polite.

The Third Princess frowned and asked, "Who are you"

The middle-aged scholar replied, "This lowly one is the manager of the Lu Mansion in the southwestern border region, named Wen Yunhai."

Wen Yunhai

Jiayin's mind raced, she couldn't recall the name.

But the Third Princess had thought of it, and replied, “It turns out to be the king’s left and right arm, the military advisor Wen!”

The Lu family!

Jia Yin raised an eyebrow, not at all surprised.

The son got into big trouble and was again effectively under house arrest. How could the Lu family just stand by and do nothing

It's quite a while before someone comes over. You're truly patient.

With the Third Princess's cunning, it's likely that Lu Cong and "Mission Accomplished" will be meeting Yama (the Lord of Hell) in another two months!

Wen Junshi bowed his head again and spoke in a low voice, “Your Highness, this subordinate came here on the orders of the old general. Please forgive this subordinate for speaking a few more words.”

The third princess frowned, thinking about her plan. She couldn't truly sever ties with the Lu family.

Then, she nodded. "Okay, let's go in the car and talk."

Jia Yin immediately said, "Princess, I'll return to the Earl's mansion first. I won't delay your conversation. If anything happens, just have someone send me a message."

The third princess saw that she was trying to keep her distance, and her heart felt a bit complicated, but she still instructed.

"You may go back first. If anything happens, remember to have someone tell me."

Jia Yin smiled and nodded, then with a slight bow to Wen Junshi, she got into her own carriage.

The carriage rattled away, and Wen Junshi discreetly withdrew his gaze.

He somewhat understood why the Prince acted so rashly and fanatically.

Such a beautiful and talented girl, she seemed to embody all the beauty in the world. He liked her, let alone a young man in his prime.

Spending a long time together, it's hard not to develop feelings.

But when he looked at the elegant and beautiful princess beside him, he couldn't help but sigh.

The prince's fortune is truly great, but it's a little... too much!

The princess's carriage was spacious enough to accommodate guests.

The coachman carefully drove the carriage to the foot of the palace wall. The maids and female servants stood guard from afar, leaving only Caiyun to attend to her inside the carriage.

The third princess took a sip of tea and then cut straight to the chase, "Military advisor, you traveled thousands of miles to get here. What brings you You didn't even have time to visit the Princess's mansion, but came directly here"

Wen Junshi quickly apologized, putting on a very low profile.

Just when the third princess thought he would plead for Lu Zong, he pulled out a flat, small wooden box.

Today's update is here~!mor and weapon. 。You can avoid hurting others, but make sure you and your family are not being bullied. 。For so many years, he clearly loved his junior sister deeply. But because she married someone e...
