"My sister and I have already made an agreement. After we get engaged, I will bring Ziran out to look for her."
Duke Jing was taken aback and asked, "Your sister isn't returning to the capital with us this time. Is she going back to Wen County?"
"No, she and her third cousin decided to go to Xirong and Beihan to visit her two cousins."
Duke Jing thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Well, it only takes half a month to get to the Xirong Imperial City from here. Since we're already here, why not go and see the two princesses?"
Jingxu also smiled and nodded. In his hand, he had the talisman that his sister had given him that could be shrunk into an inch. As long as the marriage was arranged, he would still have time to continue traveling with them after that.
While chatting and laughing, Qiu Yinong also prepared the Maoxuewang.
Pour hot oil on the dish, and with a sizzling sound, the spicy aroma spreads instantly, whetting your appetite.
Qiu Yinong moved very quickly, and Qingyuan and Ziyao were also familiar with the process. With their help, dinner was ready quickly.
When Nan Mawei sat down and learned that all the meals tonight were prepared by Qiu Yinong, she was also surprised.
After tasting it, his eyes lit up instantly, and regardless of the rule of not talking while eating, he immediately praised with astonishment: "County Master, you are beautiful, smart and capable, but I didn't expect that your cooking is so delicious."
“Is there anything you don’t know how to do?”
Ge Qingqing said proudly: "The Queen now knows that it is not a shame to be in our Yi'er's arms!"
Wei Lanyi and others were also invited, and only now did they know that the reason why the battle in the Southern Region disappeared so quickly was all thanks to the county lord.
At this moment, Nan Mawei was looking at Qiu Yinong with surprise and admiration. She kept saying, "I have never felt ashamed of losing to the county lady."
"In fact, the county lady has also taught me a lot. You have a saying in Great Chu: an ant trying to shake a tree. This is what I did earlier!"
"In the future, the Southern Territory will remain loyal to the Great Chu and will not dare to break our oath."
"As long as the Southern Territory keeps its promise, I can also guarantee that as long as Great Chu exists, the Southern Territory will not perish!"
"Eat well!" Qiu Yinong's words made Nan Mawei very excited.
Duke Jing and several generals also laughed and changed the subject, and soon everyone started eating happily again.
Wei Lanyi secretly glanced at Qiu Yinong from time to time, and her admiration for this county lady from another family grew even stronger. Even when she looked at Qiu Hanqing, she also put on a thick filter.
Thinking that a family that can raise such an outstanding daughter, her family members must also be very outstanding.
In fact, this is true. Qiu Hanqing himself is also an excellent man.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blushing.
After dinner, Nan Mawei suddenly walked up to Qiu Yinong and said respectfully, "County Lady, Mawei needs your help with something. Can I have a moment to talk?"
"Come with me!" Qiu Yinong nodded, told Qingyuan and the others not to follow, and took Nan Mawei outside.
Nanmawei followed her with gratitude in her eyes.
Qiu Yinong stopped at a pavilion, waved her hand, and a set of tea sets appeared. She motioned Nan Mawei to sit down.
Then she started to make tea, and Nan Mawei stared at her graceful movements in a daze.
It was not until the hot tea was placed in front of her that Nan Mawei came to her senses. She had been staring in a daze.
"You want to ask about your ability to have children, right?" Qiu Yinong went straight to the point.
Nan Mawei smiled. As expected, nothing could be hidden from the county lady's eyes.
"Yes, please help me, County Lady. My body was damaged a few years ago due to the care of my natal Gu, and the Great Witch has been looking for a treatment for me."
"But I haven't been able to succeed. It was Snavy who reminded me today that maybe I could ask for your help."
"The Southern Territory needs a legitimate heir. The Nan family has always had difficulty raising children. My mother, the queen, only had me as her daughter, and my two elder brothers also died one after another due to accidents caused by their natal Gu."
"Side branch... Alas, I really don't want the Southern Territory to be destroyed in my hands."
Qiu Yinong said nothing and took a porcelain vase and put it on the table.
"Taking this will repair your uterus that was damaged by your natal Gu, but you'll need to abstain from sex for half a month. After it's fully repaired, you'll bleed. Once the bleeding is gone, you can have sex normally."
"But you should know when to stop and not be greedy for too much of anything." Qiu Yinong said calmly.
Nan Mawei felt a little embarrassed. She held the porcelain bottle in her hands, expressing her gratitude.
"Thank you, County Princess. When you return from Great Chu, Mawei will surely create a golden statue for you. From now on, you will be the only goddess worshipped in the Southern Territory besides the Witch Ancestor."
After hearing Nan Mawei's words, Qiu Yinong did not refuse.
The small system had said earlier that if someone was willing to worship her, the more faith she would gain, the smoother the acceptance of her inheritance would be.
"Thank you, Queen."
"You're welcome."
"Try my Yunding Fairy Mist." Qiu Yinong gestured for her to taste the tea. Nan Mawei picked it up and took a sip, and her eyes lit up instantly.
Qiu Yinong asked about the poisonous insects in the Southern Region. Nan Mawei was nervous at first, but later she became very talkative.
The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, as if they were friends who had known each other for many years.
It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky and the night was deep that Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "It was a pleasure talking with the Queen today. It's late now, the Queen should go back and rest early!"
Nan Mawei was stunned and looked up at the moon. It was already late at night.
"County Lady, please stop calling me Queen. Just call me by my name. You are the great benefactor of the Southern Territory."
Nanmawei said sincerely.
"It's all fate, go back and rest early!"
"Yes, you should also go to bed early." Nan Mawei didn't waste any more words. She stood up and bowed, then walked out of the pavilion. She saw three handsome men sitting at a stone table not far away, leisurely sipping wine.
Nan Mawei bowed to the three of them, then turned and disappeared into the darkness, returning to her own yard.
Sinawei was also waiting for her on the other side. Seeing her coming, she quickly came forward with her cloak in hand: "Your Majesty, how about it, is the county lady willing to help you?"
"Well, the county master was kind and gave me the medicine."
"That's great! Then you don't have to look for a child from a side branch. A young master will be born in the Southern Territory next year."
"The original divination turned out to be correct." Snawei was very excited.
Nanmawei shook her hand gratefully. "Thank you for always planning for me. As long as my descendants and I are alive, the Southern Territory will always respect you as the Great Witch."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Snawei will also swear allegiance to you and the Southern Region until death and will never betray you." Snawei also solemnly promised.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards the courtyard together.
After Nan Mawei left, Chu Hongyun stood up and walked towards the pavilion, followed by Jing Xu and Qiu Hanqing.
"Sit down and have a cup of tea?" Qiu Yinong raised his eyebrows and asked the three people.
Chu Hongyun smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
"This tea smells so good, Dad almost couldn't help but run over..."
"You little brat, you're just trying to frame me. It's not me who wants to drink, it's your second cousin who wants to drink."
