Pooh!

The treacherous Qi Yuan!

How should I see it? I'll sit down and watch!

Murong Anle shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, with a fake smile, "Oh dear, how would I know about military campaigns? Lord Qi, please don't joke around."

"Let's report this matter to His Majesty and the Ministry of War."

"General Huo Cheng has already set off; hopefully the news will arrive in time."

Qi Yuan glanced at him and teased with a smile, "Lord Murong, you really are careful."

Murong Anle wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead.

He sighed silently.

He's a member of the royal family, how dare he speak on matters like military campaigns?

Or rather, how could he possibly have military talent?

It cannot be, it absolutely cannot be.

After learning of Xiao Yuanche's thoughts, Murong Yue sorted out her ideas.

"You mean, the Yue Kingdom base sent people to help the robbers?"

base?

Minister of War Chen Shi'en scratched his head, glanced at Ahao secretly, and seeing that Ahao had no intention of explaining, he thought for a moment.

Is His Majesty referring to the 'Yue army'?

I must have misheard it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Murong Yue felt very important at this moment. Last time, the people at the Qing Kingdom base asked her for advice on this matter, and they even adopted it.

I came to her for advice again this time.

It seems that my intelligence and resourcefulness have been recognized by humans!

?(???)?

whee.

She decided to showcase her talent once again.

Oh right, what was that we just said?

Oh, the Vietnamese base has sent people...

What were we sending people for?

Murong Yue tried hard to recall, and after a while, she pinched the little gray cat nestled on her leg.

I've decided to send men to attack the Yun Kingdom.

She remembered that Chen Shi'en had said before that he was going to attack the Yun Kingdom.

And now they're saying the Vietnamese base has also sent people.

Let's go and attack the Yun Kingdom together.

"Yes, we can go together to attack Yun Kingdom."

She spoke with absolute certainty.

Chen Shi'en felt that his mind was a little slow to catch up with His Majesty's train of thought.

Does Your Majesty mean to find a way to get the Yue army to the front, and then use them as cannon fodder when the battle begins?

Wow—you know what, this method is actually quite ingenious.

My admiration for His Majesty has reached a new level.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm," the little zombie nodded vigorously.

You have excellent taste!

The grain has been stolen, and the agreement that was supposed to be finalized at the court meeting has been delayed.

Lord Zhang Yuqing was released before the Lunar New Year and is now able to attend court normally.

Murong Yue was enjoying her life to the fullest.

According to her understanding, she should get up at nine o'clock in the morning and have breakfast.

The court session started at 10 a.m. and ended at 1 p.m. at the latest, followed by lunch.

Then we go to the Baoguang Hall for class at 3 PM, and finish class at 5 PM for dinner.

I secretly attend tutoring classes from 8 PM to 10 PM, then have a late-night snack.

I'm just really happy.

Within a few days, she made rapid progress and was able to understand one-third of the contents of the two letters she had hidden.

I don't quite understand what it means when put together.

well.

Humans write letters in a roundabout way.

We zombies are the best. We speak with our fists and teeth, we're straightforward. If we don't like someone, we'll just bite their head!

On this day, Qi Yuan went to the palace to pay his respects, bringing with him a box.

"Your Majesty, I have brought this item back."

He took three things out of the box: two round balls, one black and one brown, and it was impossible to tell what they were.

There is also a teacup.

"Ah," Ah Hao exclaimed softly from the side, having almost forgotten about it.

His Majesty went out before the New Year and made things by hand at that Zeng Family Porcelain Workshop.

"What Your Majesty made is so lovely."

"When placed next to the little rabbit, it's impossible to tell the real one from the fake one."

Ah Hao praised sincerely.

The two small spheres were about the size of a woman's fist.

To be honest, when placed next to a rabbit or a hedgehog, aside from being smaller, it does look round and chubby from the bottom, without any head or tail.

Murong Yue liked it very much.

I held it in my hand and played with it for a while.

"Your Majesty, the official who delivered the New Year's gifts on behalf of General Yan Qinghe has come to pay his respects."

"Um."

Murong Yue didn't even raise her head.

The young general came in, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

"This humble servant will be departing for the frontier tomorrow. Does Your Majesty have any words or gifts to bring to the General?"

Actually, this is just going through the motions.

Everyone knows that their own general has sent two gifts and two letters every year for five consecutive years.

But His Majesty never replied to him.

Every time, it's the same line: "General Yan, you've worked hard. Please take good care of your general."

This time, the young general didn't have much hope either.

Murong Yue blinked. She might have a goldfish-like memory of other things, but the gifts she received and the letter under her pillow were real.

She remembered this banquet, Qinghe.

That's true; the other party has given me so many things, I should at least express my gratitude.

Humans, after all, value reciprocity.

This was the first time she had ever given a gift to someone, and she immediately became interested.

"You, just you wait."

She spoke so forcefully that it startled the young general, who thought His Majesty was about to kill her.

When he looked up, he saw His Majesty running out like the wind.

Murong Yue easily found her way to her private vault.

Ah Hao quickly followed, "Your Majesty, please slow down..."

What should we give as a return gift?
