Regarding Yu Ziqian's "illness", Lin Xiaoman showed concern and anxiety at the right time, but General Yu was not in a hurry, so the two of them had lunch together first.
Then we went to visit together.
When he heard his mother was coming, Yu Ziqian felt that something bad was going to happen, and then, it really was bad.
"Zi Qian, I heard that you were sick. Come, mother will give you a few injections and you will be fine!" General Yu smiled, and her malicious expression made her look like a stepmother.
If he continued to lie down and pretend to be sick, he would be injected. Yu Ziqian quickly got up and lied with his eyes open, "Mother, I am so happy! As soon as you came, my illness was cured immediately!"
"Haha!" He sneered twice and raised the silver needle. "No, you are not well yet. You need acupuncture!"
The little bastard is just itching for trouble. If you don’t punish him, he’ll climb up the roof and tear off the tiles!
"No need, really!" Yu Ziqian ran quickly, and smartly ran behind Lin Xiaoman and pulled her as a shield.
Lin Xiaoman, who was originally watching the show with gloating eyes, said: ...
"Ziqian is naughty and has embarrassed Your Highness." General Yu glared at Yu Ziqian with a helpless look on his face.
"No problem." Lin Xiaoman said she didn't mind.
After a few more words, General Yu proposed to "borrow a horse" and used a small silver needle to secretly threaten him.
What can he do? Yu Ziqian, feeling frustrated, can only borrow money!
The Lu has been lent out like this, and whether it can be returned in the future?
It's probably like throwing a meat bun at a dog, there's no way back.
Yu Ziqian was devastated when his beloved Horse King was 'borrowed', fearing that the horse might get upset and cause trouble. Lin Xiaoman said, "Besides Dilu, there are actually several other excellent horses. One of them is also a Horse King, on par with Dilu."
"Really?" Yu Ziqian immediately perked up after being revived to full health. "Where is it?"
"It's still at the post station. It should arrive in the next few days. You can choose it yourself then."
"You said it!!" The faster the voice got, the more delighted Yu Ziqian became. However, "My mother..."
"She didn't know that it was a herd of horses we encountered when we were walking separately."
"That's good." Yu Ziqian felt relieved.
After saying a few words, Lin Xiaoman went to the study and returned to the court. There were a lot of things waiting for her to deal with. She was really busy.
Looking forward to the other horse king that Lin Xiaoman mentioned, Yu Ziqian felt cheerful for a long time. But when he came to his senses, he found that he had forgotten something important.
Yu Ziqian immediately found the female and male guards in the palace and asked them one by one, "Did Her Highness look for the young servant when she was in the south and the north?"
Guards: ...
After receiving a very consistent "no", Yu Ziqian still didn't quite believe it, and immediately left the Princess's Mansion and went to the General's Mansion.
General Yu, who had won the Lu BMW, could not wait to leave the city and go for a ride.
He didn't look for her. Yu Ziqian looked for the guards who traveled with General Yu. He asked each one of them, and they all gave the same answer, "No."
The guards praised Lin Xiaoman highly: "Her Royal Highness is deeply concerned about the country and the people, devoting herself to her work, with great ambitions in mind and the people at heart... She's so busy with work all day, how could she have time for romance?"
Now Zi Yu and Zi Qian were certain. It really wasn't there. He had been overthinking it.
No, it’s not that he was overthinking it. It was him and his mother who were talking nonsense and destroying their relationship!
On the way back home, Yu Ziqian was in a very good mood, but as soon as he arrived at the mansion, following the report from Manager Xia, Yu Ziqian's mood turned from sunny to cloudy again.
In the court, the empress highly praised Lin Xiaoman. Anyone with a discerning eye could see from her attitude of appreciation that it was, as expected, the succession ceremony for the Crown Princess.
Therefore, some of the originally neutral parties began to take sides, and a large number of ministers sent invitations to the Princess's Mansion to hold a welcoming banquet for her.
Banquets and the like would definitely include scenes of handsome men flirting with women and throwing themselves into their arms.
He secretly cursed these people for being shameless. Although Yu Ziqian was furious, he had no say in such invitations from ministers, and the decision had to be made by Lin Xiaoman.
Feeling worried, Yu Ziqian had no choice but to follow Manager Xia into the study.
When Manager Xia was reporting, Yu Ziqian was listening next to him.
After listening to Manager Xia's report, Lin Xiaoman frowned impatiently. She was so busy, who had the time to deal with them!
To seize the throne, the empress is the key, and she already has several powerful allies. There is no need to win over those fence-sitters.
"I declined them all." Lin Xiaoman said without hesitation, and then added, "Unless it's an invitation from my three sisters."
"I understand."
Yu Ziqian, who was listening on the side, felt better again.
…
In the following days, Lin Xiaoman's daily routine was attending court, working, and practicing... It was obvious that she had performed outstandingly, and the empress had begun various inspections on her and had thrown a lot of work at her, so Lin Xiaoman only asked for one favor.
In the midst of busyness, the New Year is here again.
The imperial city is decorated with all kinds of lights and lanterns.
It was the annual banquet again. Before it ended, the Empress proposed a team-building activity. The activity was still hunting, but unlike the last time, this time it would last for seven days, and the activity would take place at the largest of the royal hunting grounds. The round trip would take two days.
Take a day off and set off on the second day of the New Year.
Those who are of rank five or above and wish to go can register and bring their families.
Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, the ministers appeared to be actively participating, and no one above the fifth rank was left out.
Lin Xiaoman wondered if the empress was going to arrange another assassination, but the empress did not assign her a secret mission, and Sister Xiao Wang did not receive any relevant arrangements, so was it really just hunting?
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Xiaoman, who had a rare chance to relax, devoted himself to cultivation, while Yu Ziqian enthusiastically arranged preparations for the next day's hunting.
Although he had obtained another king horse, Red Hare, he was afraid of his shameless old mother. So, in the afternoon, Yu Ziqian went to the general's mansion and asked for it back. "I'm going hunting now. Shouldn't I return the Dilu?"
General Yu: "What a beautiful day today! Why are you here? How can a married son run back to his parents' home every day?! Get out! Get out now! Get out without stopping!"
It is still impossible to pay it back unless she passes away.
Knowing she wouldn't return it, Yu Ziqian angrily said, "It's easy to borrow again if you pay it back, but if you don't pay it back, don't even think about borrowing another horse from me in the future!"
General Yu said arrogantly, "The Lu I have is enough. Do you have any other BMWs that can catch my eye?"
Yu Ziqian: "You said it, remember it!"
Having achieved his goal, Yu Ziqian returned to the Princess's Mansion in a good mood.
The next morning, around five o'clock, after getting ready, we set off!
Yu Ziqian rode Red Hare excitedly and followed the carriage with his guards.
Since he didn't take the carriage, Lin Xiaoman was happy and relaxed. He said nothing and continued to practice.
The shock absorption system proposed by Lin Xiaoman has been applied in practice, so the bumpiness is still within an acceptable range.
After three hours of travel, we finally arrived at our destination.
