Chapter 177 It’s Not That We Can’t Negotiate

The first time Qin Zhaoyue got up early after returning to Beijing, he stood at the city gate, panting and yawning.

This morning, the two military supervisors set out at the same time, heading to the northern and southern borders respectively.

His Majesty did not come in person. After all, the war in the north has temporarily stopped, and there are small disturbances in the south as usual.

If she practices it herself, people will inevitably think of other meanings.

The leader was again Prime Minister Pei, who brought an imperial edict of encouragement.

There was no apparent favoritism. The eldest princess and the second prince each led a thousand royal cavalry guards, and there were no members of the Meng family leading them.

Everyone had some speculations. After all, Meng Jian had been traveling with the eldest princess for more than two months and had made considerable contributions when she was rewarded.

When I saw him off, I realized that he would not be accompanying me this time.

Yes, the old man of the Meng family is such a cautious person.

Last time it was about flood control and disaster relief, and I had no choice but to do it.

But this time, the situation has a strong flavor of fighting for the throne, and it is right for the Meng family not to participate.

All the brothers and sisters came to see the two princes off, and no one was left out.

If it weren't for her elder sister going to war, Qin Zhaoyue wouldn't have bothered to join in the fun.

"Sixth sister, why are you so sleepy?"

Probably due to their friendship for "disaster relief", the fifth prince Qin Jingzhan did not stand with his seventh and eighth brothers, but stood next to Qin Zhaoyue.

Although he was not crowned king, Qin Jingzhan was personally praised by His Majesty, and his title and reward were higher than Qin Zhaoyue's.

After all, when she was slacking off in Prince Rui's manor, he was not idle at all. He was handling government affairs with his elder sister.

Qin Zhaoyue glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't force me to slap you."

"Why are you so angry..."

Qin Jingzhan didn't continue to tease her. The key was that he couldn't hold on to this sixth sister.

In front of so many people and at a farewell moment, he didn't want to cause too much trouble because of a few jokes.

Sixth sister might not be afraid, but he was afraid of losing face.

He muttered something, but even though Qin Zhaoyue had good hearing, he couldn't hear clearly what he said, so he ignored it.

After the words of encouragement were announced, naturally they were all meaningless.

The two princes stood on each side, both wearing armor.

Qin Zhaoyue watched from afar and could see that the faint smile on his second brother's lips could not be concealed.

It is understandable, after all, they used to win people's hearts in Shilin.

He was suddenly involved in the military, probably thinking that this time he could win over and cultivate some confidants to support his fight for the throne.

When people are happy, they feel refreshed and full of energy.

After the decree was announced, the younger brothers and sisters came forward in a group. Qin Zhaoyue did not ask for special treatment and followed the crowd.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries, mostly just some auspicious words wishing everyone a safe journey.

Qin Zhaoyue didn't join in the fun, but he heard his elder sister's voice in his ears.

"Zhao Yue, I don't know what the Shufeng Dynasty is up to.

But this trip is crucial, and Fengjing and the Northern Territory are inseparable, so we must help each other."

Qin Zhaoyue did not respond directly, suspecting that her elder sister had lost her mind.

Feng Jing, what can she do to help others?

Also, my eldest sister may be a little arrogant because the disaster relief work went so smoothly. She is exaggerating.

"Eldest sister, you'd better take care of yourself. Be careful that someone so troublesome is around you and he might spy on you."

As soon as the voice transmission finished, a lazy voice immediately interrupted,

"It's inappropriate to speak ill of others behind their backs, isn't it, Sixth Prince?

Let's make a deal and stop spreading rumors like this."

I knew it was that old guy Liu Yan just by the voice.

With his speed and reaction ability, he is a top-notch expert at gathering intelligence, transmitting messages, and acting as a scout.

If there is any critical military situation, the information can be transmitted back to Fengjing within half a day.

Qin Zhaoqiong sighed inwardly, wondering if his sixth sister could take on the responsibilities when he was not around.

She had hinted to the third and fourth children that they could ask the sixth child for advice if they were unsure about anything, but the effect was not ideal.

Everyone was in a hurry to get on with their journey and said goodbye in a hurry.

Qin Zhaoyue looked at the dust raised by the cavalry as they went away and nodded secretly.

She made the right choice. If she had been running around like her elder sister, she wouldn't have been able to do this job.

There was another important thing to do today, so the third and fourth sisters said goodbye and left, probably to prepare for the literary meeting.

It was still early, and Qin Zhaoyue just had to have lunch.

She didn't want to go back home either. There was an old nanny in the mansion, and she couldn't keep drugging people all day long.

I told you to try not to harm your body. All medicines are toxic. You are not young anymore, so try to do as little as possible.

She's not at home, so it's impossible for her to go around the streets arresting people and teaching them the rules, right?

"Your Highness, where are we going next?"

"Strolling around, and taking a look at our property."

Qin Zhaoyue has never properly visited Fengjing City since he traveled through time.

When you are in this most prosperous place in Dagan, there is no reason not to go shopping.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a call from behind, "Sixth sister, where are you going?"

Qin Zhaoyue didn't even turn her head, "Go back home."

"You're lying!" Xiao Jiu ran up quickly and grabbed her clothes. "You said you were going to hang out and play."

"You're the one lying. You clearly heard it, yet you still ask me."

Just as she was about to get on the carriage, the little girl hugged her legs and said, "No matter what, Sixth Sister, take me to play."

Qin Zhaoyue lowered her head and her eyes met Xiaojiu's.

Tsk...what a hassle.

For a fifth-rank warrior, the weight of an eight-year-old girl is like a pendant, which is not a big deal at all.

She raised her legs and swung them twice, but they didn't come down.

"Mo Yi, you're blind! Hurry and get him down for me."

Mo Yi didn't move.

The reason why she was accompanying him today instead of Suimo was because Suimo had to take care of the nanny from the palace.

Given the speed at which the Sixth Prince gets into trouble, it is hard to imagine her retirement life; she might not even make it to that time.

Just kidding, the one hanging on the leg is the Ninth Princess, the master living in the palace.

If she dares to grab him, he might cry and make a fuss when he returns to the palace. Who will take responsibility if something happens?

Qin Zhaoyue slowly exhaled, "Xiaojiu, Sixth Sister has something important to do and doesn't have time to play with you."

"You're lying!" Xiaojiu held onto her legs tightly, "Third and Fourth Sisters have important things to do, but you don't."

Hey! Qin Zhaoyue's temper suddenly flared up. Who was he insulting here?

"Where are the people and the nanny? Can we just watch Xiaojiu throw a tantrum and lose face? Can we still do our job?"

The old nanny at the side came up slowly, bowed with her skirt lowered, and her posture was exactly the same as that of Nanny Liu.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, please forgive me. Your Highness the Ninth Prince rarely leaves the palace, and he has a heavy workload on weekdays."

Qin Zhaoyue was stunned. Does this mean that he agrees to go out and play with her?

She pointed at herself and said, "Are you crazy? Look at me, it's me. Let Xiaojiu follow me out?"

The old lady half-closed her eyes, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

Do you think she's willing? She's not unaware of this person's reputation.

But although the Ninth Prince looks well-behaved, he is actually the most clingy.

She didn't beat or scold the servants, but she kept mentioning them over and over again, no matter what they were doing.

Knowing that I would be leaving the palace today and that the eldest and second princes were not around, I had already planned some fun activities.

The old lady sighed secretly. If she spoke out to stop it today, she would not have a good life for the next ten days or half a month.

He glanced around, not at the Sixth Prince, but at the group of maids behind her.

There is no impenetrable wall in the palace. The Sixth Prince is surrounded by a whole group of Qingluan Guards and a centurion.

This escort force is safer than His Highness the Ninth Prince leaving the palace on his own.

How could she know that this was nothing, the key point was that there was someone hidden and not revealed, and that was the big boss.

The old nanny bowed and said, "It is all up to His Highness the Ninth Prince to decide."

At this moment, a pair of brothers with similar looks also came over. They were the twins Xiaoqi and Xiaoba.

The two half-grown children were standing five or six steps away, neither speaking a word, and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

Qin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat. "Why, you guys want to go out and play with me too?"

The two of them nodded hurriedly, as they had discussed this with their ninth sister.

It’s just that they are not familiar with Sixth Sister and are too embarrassed to speak up.

"Go play somewhere else!" Qin Zhaoyue was in no mood to be the boss of the kids. "I don't have any money."

The next moment, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba pulled out a stack of banknotes from their pockets and said, "We have money."

Qin Zhaoyue: ...

Well...it's not that we can't discuss it.
