Chapter 265: The Minister of Rites Arrives at the Border



The Sun family and the Huo family, who were far away in the capital, were having dinner at the General's Mansion, accompanied by Murong Shuo and Wei Qingyan. After they had eaten their fill, they all looked towards the military camp, thinking of Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun.

Soap workshops and pharmaceutical workshops have already started operations, as have soap shops, hot pot restaurants and restaurants, and are doing brisk business.

In addition to working at the Imperial Hospital, Tao Yuanzheng also has to prepare for the management of the medical clinic.

The clinic was almost finished being renovated, and Huo Jinxiu had already trained the nurses. These were all purchased maids. Some were gifts from the General's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion. They were all maids who had signed indentures and were absolutely loyal.

Tao Yuanzheng had also recruited five or six doctors. They had heard the clinic was owned by Princess Xiangyun, and they were all willing to give up their previous jobs to work there. They wanted to learn surgery, but also wanted to become disciples of the miraculous doctor.

In Taizhou, Minister Liu and the Minister of Agriculture stayed in Huojia Village to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now they started digging sweet potatoes.

Yesterday, they dug ten mu (approximately 10 acres) and weighed the yield per mu (approximately 3,000 jin). They were so happy they were practically stunned. They couldn't bear to let go of the big, thick sweet potatoes.

Huo Jinzhou had his people dig sweet potatoes and plant sweet potato vines. Gao Zhijun's wasteland was now covered with sweet potatoes and rice.

After dinner, Huo Jinqian took Gao Zhijun's hand and went to the mountain behind the military camp to enjoy the moon and talk about love.

"Zhijun, please sit here."

Huo Jinqian spread a cloth on the ground and asked Gao Zhijun to sit on it, and he sat next to her.

The moon tonight is big and round, illuminating the ground brightly.

"The night is so beautiful tonight, the moon is so big and round."

Gao Zhijun looked up at the sky and was attracted by the moon in the sky.

"Yes, the moonlight is charming! Zhijun, I won't have time to accompany you when we return to the capital."

Huo Jinqian looked at the moonlight in the sky for a while, then looked at Gao Zhijun affectionately and said.

"How's your review going? Starting tomorrow, you don't have to accompany me. Just focus on your studies and strive to get the top spot. Only by getting the top spot will you be able to take revenge."

Gao Zhijun said to Huo Jinqian.

"Okay, I'll start reviewing tomorrow. You must be careful out there."

Huo Jinqian said this in a timid tone. He was worried about her safety.

"Don't worry, I always take Qinglong and Moxue with me when I go out. Ordinary Xiao Xiao can't get close to him. If he is a master, I won't offend others, so you can rest assured."

Gao Zhijun knew that he was worried about her, and she didn't feel unhappy. She felt warm in her heart.

It’s actually a good feeling to have a boyfriend who always cares about you and is concerned about your safety.

"Okay, I believe you."

Huo Jinqian sat next to Gao Zhijun, looking at the moon in the sky.

The two of them huddled together and didn't speak again.

At this moment, silence is better than words, and the two people's hearts are closely connected.

Next year, Gao Zhijun will be coming of age. After that, she can get married or wait a few more years. It all depends on the circumstances at the time.

It was not until the moon was at its highest that the two returned to the yard to rest.

Time passed quickly, and Eunuch Wang came to the border with the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Tatar also sent envoys to discuss the issue of compensation.

Murong Yuanbo placed them in the Tatar camp and did not allow them into the city. This was a special situation, so it required special treatment. Who knew if they had any bad intentions?

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to the General!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, along with Eunuch Wang and a group of officials, paid their respects to Murong Yuanbo.

"Come in!"

Murong Yuanbo said to them.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Eunuch Wang, the Chief Clerk, and the Recorder were brought into the courtyard. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gao Zhijun were waiting in the main hall.

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Xiangyun!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites and others saluted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Xiangyun.

They had never imagined that Princess Xiangyun was so young and capable. Not only was she skilled in medicine, she could also make magical farm tools and weapons.

They heard that the war ended so quickly because of the ten-shot crossbows and grenades, as well as the military book, made by Princess Xiangyun.

"Stand up!"

The prince waved his hand and asked them to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess Xiangyun!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites brought Eunuch Wang and the others to speak.

"By the way, what does the emperor want this time?"

The prince asked the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, General of the Cavalry, and Princess Xiangyun, please accept my order."

Eunuch Wang took out the imperial edict.

The prince brought Murong Yuanbo with him, and Gao Zhijun knelt down to receive the order, with a group of people also kneeling below.

"The Emperor, under the providence of Heaven, proclaims, General of the Cavalry..."

Only after listening to Eunuch Wang read the imperial edict did everyone know the emperor's requirements.

"Your son (minister, minister) receives the order!"

The prince pointed to the imperial edict and everyone stood up.

Murong Yuanbo had the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Eunuch Wang and others sent to rest in the post house as there was no room for them in the military camp.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took Murong Yuanbo and Gao Zhijun to the study to discuss the issue of compensation.

The imperial edict stated it very clearly, but there would be emergencies, and they had to discuss how to deal with them.

After discussing in the study for nearly an hour, they finally came up with a solution.

The three men agreed to hold peace talks with the Tatar envoys at the post station three days later.

After Huo Jinqian found out, he wanted to follow them to the post station for peace talks, but Gao Zhijun refused and told him to concentrate on reviewing.

The scientific examination will be here soon, so we can’t waste any more time.

Seeing Gao Zhijun's insistence, Huo Jinqian had no choice but to give up and return to his room to concentrate on reviewing.

Gao Zhijun left the military camp and led people to set up the posthouse to welcome the Tatar envoys for negotiations.

It was not until the evening that everything was arranged and he took Qinglong and Moxue back to the military camp.

Everything is ready, just waiting for peace talks.
