Now that she's in the capital during the day, it's as if she's back, so naturally we should do our best to show our appreciation.
Qiao Lian'er carefully selected a box of top-quality Guagreen lychees and six large durians, and sent them to the palace.
When Eunuch Qi heard that she had arrived, he hurriedly went to report to the Emperor. When he arrived at the gate of the Golden Palace, he almost tripped.
The emperor was in his study, reviewing a large pile of memorials, when he frowned and said, "At such an advanced age, he's still so reckless."
"Your Majesty, good news, good news! Princess Feiluan has returned. The first thing she did upon arriving in the capital was to come and see Your Majesty."
The emperor put the pen on the shelf: "Oh, let her in quickly."
Several eunuchs followed Qiao Lian'er in, carrying two boxes.
After Qiao Lian'er paid her respects, Eunuch Qi had already prepared a chair for her.
The emperor gestured for her to take a seat.
Having eaten too many lychees and durians, the emperor no longer craved them as much as before; in fact, he was even more eager to glance at Qiao Lian'er.
"Princess, it's been so long since I've seen you. Where have you been?"
Qiao Lian'er used to come to the palace every three to five days. The emperor was really not used to not seeing her for so many days.
"Your Majesty, I have gone out to enjoy the scenery."
"Tell me, what are some of the interesting places?" the emperor asked, intrigued.
He spends his days handling state affairs in the palace, and also dreams of traveling the world. Unfortunately, he doesn't know when he will be able to extricate himself and gain a moment of true leisure.
"I went east to see the sea and several famous mountains, and then went north to see the vast grasslands. At this time of year, the grasslands are lush and green, and the view is expansive."
“Great grasslands, so you also went to the Kingdom of Danu.”
"Yes, riding a horse on the vast grasslands is a pleasure. No wonder the cavalry of the Da Nu Kingdom are so strong. It turns out they don't just train to complete missions."
The emperor's brow twitched, and he dismissed everyone in the hall.
He believed that Qiao Lian'er wouldn't bring this up without a reason.
He had already met the men of the Qiao family. The princess had returned, so she must know what had happened in Da Nu Kingdom.
Whether she actually went to the grasslands or not, as long as she can bring back useful information.
The emperor sighed: "The Da Nu Kingdom stole the military formations, blacksmithing, and farming techniques from the Da Ze Kingdom. Military formations have always been a closely guarded secret. Blacksmithing and farming techniques can be passed on through mutual exchange and mutual benefit. But the Da Nu Kingdom just took them and used them, violating the trust between nations."
"But the Great Swamp Kingdom cannot hold them accountable for this, because the Da Nu Kingdom will certainly not admit it. They will say that they figured it out themselves, and they will take this behavior as an offense, thus finding an excuse. This is the troublesome thing between countries. As the emperor, I must be careful with every word and deed." The emperor was quite troubled.
A few years ago, the northern tribal alliance, mainly composed of the Da Nu Kingdom, invaded and suffered a major defeat. However, the Da Nu Kingdom has now recovered and its strength has grown stronger.
If the two countries go to war, this land will suffer heavy losses and its vitality will be severely damaged.
"I don't believe they could suddenly comprehend so much in such a short time. I'm afraid there's a traitor here who's tipping them off to the other side."
“Your Majesty is wise; there are indeed people who have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country,” Qiao Lian’er said.
