Miao Nanyan knew that these guards were acting under orders and that there were many things they couldn't say.

"Then, is our Lady going to the military camp?"

Yun Jin tentatively asked the guards if they were unwilling to go to the military camp, as the environment there was not as good as in the palace; it was dusty and, presumably, very noisy.

"I don't know that. I only know that Your Majesty will be going to the military camp with the generals to train the troops in a few days."

"Alright, please thank His Majesty for me." Miao Nanyan smiled at the guard.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will return to report to His Majesty immediately." The guard bowed respectfully and left.

Miao Nanyan nodded and watched him leave Yiqin Palace.

Yun Jin, holding the brocade general's uniform to her nose, smelled a fresh scent, indicating it had been starched. "Your Majesty, this garment smells of soap, so it must have been washed."

"I'll wash it again." With that, Yun Jin started to walk outside, preparing to throw the clothes into the tub.

"No need, Yun Jin, put it away." Miao Nanyan grabbed Yun Jin's arm and pulled her back.

Miao Nanyan looked at the sky. It had been cloudy and snowing for days. If she washed her clothes, they would never dry before Baili Yingfeng went to the military camp in a few days and she was asked to go with him.

"Your Majesty, it's almost the New Year, why does the King still need to train the troops?" Xiangling asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year."

Miao Nanyan looked out the window, recalling the lively scene in Hongxiu Kingdom in previous years. She wondered what it would be like in Beiliang.

...?
