Chapter 329: Envoys from the Northern Kingdom
Emperor Deyuan wore a brand new dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace, waiting for the ministers to come and pay their respects.
After waiting for a long time, only a few insignificant officials came.
Emperor Deyuan asked, "Where are they?"
Cao Degui said, "Your Majesty, I will go and ask right away."
He summoned the eunuchs and found that everyone was blocking the official road to eat melons!
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
I know there are many people today, and the little cutie will eat a lot of melons, but you should at least eat after entering the palace, why did you eat on the road?
What kind of melons did you eat?
Jinyiwei Wei Liren reported: "Your Majesty, this is an old melon, the melon about the son of Zuodu Yushi's family being seduced by the son of Dali Temple Qing's family who dressed up as a woman and wanted to escape the marriage."
Emperor Deyuan: "Old melon, old melon is mellow! Tell more about it!"
Wei Liren told about Lu Yuanying who dressed up as a man and went to a brothel to be a courtesan and fell in love with Qu Huacan.
"A man dressed up as a woman and was chosen as a courtesan?" Emperor Deyuan was very satisfied, "No wonder the general went to the brothel to investigate the case last time! Summon the person to the palace some other day, and I will take a look in person!"
Because of his status, Emperor Deyuan didn't eat a lot of melons. He simply let Jinyiwei set up an intelligence department to watch Jian Ruonan eat melons and report to Emperor Deyuan after eating.
In order to enter the Intelligence Department, the Jinyiwei had a bloody fight among themselves.
"Don't eat yet, bring the people in quickly, it will be bad if we miss the auspicious time."

On the official road, Jinyiwei Wei Liren personally led the team to direct the traffic. The carriages of other mansions stood aside, and the carriage of Jinyang Marquis Mansion passed first.
Jian Ruonan stuck his head out of the carriage: "Sir Wei, why are you here in person?"
Isn't your Jinyiwei the most powerful intelligence organization in Daxia? Why are you directing traffic?
Wei Liren was embarrassed to say that he was just here to eat melons. "Your Majesty missed the general very much and asked this humble official to come and greet him in person."
He rubbed his nose carefully: "Why didn't the general ride the iron ox today?"
Jian Ruonan was rinsing her mouth with a mouthwash cup: "You won't ride the iron ox if you haven't woken up yet. Lord Wei, I still have to wash up. Let the other carriages go in first. I'll line up at the back."
After a few more pleasantries, Wei Liren left.
Jian Ruonan had water in her mouth, and she raised her head to rinse her mouth "gulp gulp". Her cheeks were puffy, and she looked a little cute.
The maids were serving with basins on the side.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Jian Ruonan was still combing her hair.
The maids took out the breakfast in the food boxes and filled the table with it.
Fresh meat cakes, bird's nest porridge, and various side dishes were laid out on the table.
After combing her hair, Jian Ruonan stretched and lay back. Immediately, a maid brought a large soft pillow and placed it behind her.
Jian Ruonan adjusted her position and felt comfortable. A maid squatted on her left and fed her bird's nest porridge one spoonful at a time. A maid on her right held a beef cake. When she finished swallowing a mouthful of bird's nest porridge, she immediately handed her a beef cake for her to take a bite.
The two maids not only fed her, but also wiped her mouth. There was also a maid next to her who held the storybook in front of Jian Ruonan and asked her to read while eating.
The three maids cooperated well, and it was obvious that they often did this.
Especially the maid holding the storybook, Jian Ruonan knew to turn the page as soon as she raised her eyebrows.
Jian Ruonan was paralyzed on the big pillow, like a paralytic.
When Teng Ge'er saw it, his eyes widened.
The young cub pulled Min: "Mother, does mother know that the fifth sister is like this?"
Min: "..."
"Mother only found out today."
Jian Huayuan: "Mother, my son almost thought that the fifth sister had turned into a pig."
Teng Ge'er: "What are you talking about, big brother? The fifth sister knows how to discipline the maids!"
Min: "..."
You can brag about this? !
The little traitor is really powerful!
Teng Ge'er proudly puffed out his chest!
Min: "..."
Suddenly began to empathize with Madam Qu and Madam Lu.
Every family has its own problems!
On the other side, Tan Tai Mo, who had been waiting for the fifth lady for a long time, was guarding the palace gate in person.
Xuanwu system: [Oh my God, Xiao Si, you are rich! ! 】
Tan Tai Mo: [? ? ]
Xuan Wu System: [This lazy bum is really lazy to the extreme. No one dares to marry such a lazy bum. Xiao Si, just wait for the chance to get rich! ]
Tan Tai Mo showed a complicated expression on his face.
[What nonsense are you talking about? ! ]
Although, it is still good news.
Tan Tai Mo just breathed a sigh of relief, and someone beside him immediately whispered: "I wonder if the fifth daughter of Brother Jian's family is married?"
Jian Zhang: "Not yet."
There are actually several families who come to inquire about the situation.
Xuan Wu System was stunned: [This world is too crazy. There are still people vying for such a lazy bum? ! ]
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
~
It was not easy to wait until Jian Ruonan had eaten and drunk enough and finished washing up. She got off the carriage in her first-rank official uniform.
After walking five steps, Cao Degui lifted a sedan chair and helped her get on it.
Xuanwu System: [Will this lazy guy get bedsores if he lies down all day?!]
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
Jian Ruonan was angry: [Hou System, your main system hasn't replied yet?!]
This scumbag is really too much!
Hou System: [It's almost there, Nan Nan, please be patient, I'll urge you again!]
Teng Ge'er, Jian Xilu, and Jian Huayuan followed Jian Ruonan. According to regulations, the masters went to the Golden Palace to celebrate the birthday, and the followers who followed had to wait in a special place.
Teng Ge'er grabbed Gao Shou and said, "Fifth sister, Teng Ge'er wants to take this servant with him."
Jian Ruonan glanced at Gao Shou and said, "You are so old, and you still want a servant? An old servant, right!"
Jian Huayuan quickly advised, "Teng Ge'er, no, this is the imperial palace, you can't mess around!"
Cao Degui tried to smooth things over and said, "Hey, since the young master can't leave, it's okay to take him with you."
At the entrance of the palace, a row of guards stood, and before entering the palace, a routine body search was required.
"Your Majesty has instructed that people from the Jinyang Marquis' Mansion do not need to be searched, just bring them in directly!"
Gao Shou lowered his head, touched the hidden weapon in his arms, and sneered in his heart: It was easy to get it.
The large army of the Jianyang Marquis' Mansion marched towards the Golden Throne Hall.
Brother Teng secretly winked at Jian Huayuan: Big brother, my acting skills must be the best, right?
Cao Degui: Is our acting skills okay?
Jian Xilu covered her mouth and laughed: Not even one ten-thousandth of my fifth sister's acting skills!
Jian Huayuan: Xilu, don't become bad!
~
The entrance of the Golden Throne Hall was full of people queuing up to celebrate his birthday. Jian Ruonan didn't have to queue up and was taken in directly.
As soon as she entered, she saw the six ministers standing at the bottom, and foreign envoys were offering treasures.
Jian Ruonan brought her brother, sister, and Gao Shou into the Golden Throne Hall. A group of northerners with big heads and broad faces looked at her.
After the greetings, one of the squinty-eyed elder brothers spoke up, "I've heard that General Jian has the strength to move mountains and lift tripods. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary!"
He squinted and bowed to Gao Shou, "The general's reputation is as loud as thunder."
The Minister of War said, "General Yuwen, you are wrong. This is General Jian's servant."
Yuwen Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "The general's servants are so powerful, the general must be even more majestic!"
Then, Yuwen Shu looked at a ten-year-old girl with her hands behind her back, walking out proudly, and said with a smile, "The general is here!"
Yuwen Shu looked at the skinny little potato in front of him, trying to keep his squinting eyes, and a row of question marks and exclamation marks flew over his head:? ? ! !
