Because the suggestion proposed by Zhao Ji was adopted by the emperor, after the morning court session, the emperor called Zhao Ji to the study.

"Although Guo Yunchang is a talented person, he is still inferior to these envoys who have fought on the battlefield. It's fine if he is allowed to accompany us, but if he is asked to preside over the peace talks, he will not be able to hold on!"

The emperor called Zhao Ji to his study and spoke the truth.

Zhao Ji smiled and did not respond, because he knew that the emperor had not finished speaking.

The emperor continued, "As for the daughter of the Yun family, Yun Nishang, although she has fought for the country for so many years, she is still a woman after all. We can listen to her advice, but we still need someone more powerful to keep the situation under control!"

There was still a hint of contempt in the emperor's eyes, but Zhao Ji had no objection to women holding official positions.

After all, Zhao Ji is not a local, and Zhao Ji is actually a little curious about Yun Nishang.

He really wanted to meet this female general who had been able to dominate the northern battlefield for many years.

Zhao Ji could basically guess the emperor's intention.

I'm just waiting for the emperor to speak on his own initiative.

"I don't trust anyone else, but I know your ability, Zhao Aiqing. I still want to let you handle this matter. I will let Guo Yunchang and Yun Nishang assist you. I hope you will do your best in this matter!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Zhao Ji nodded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you!"

After Zhao Ji received the assignment, he was not in a hurry to deal with the envoys from the foreign country.

The main reason is that the pearl of the grassland, Princess Hu Rou, has been making a lot of noise in the harem recently.

The emperor's meaning was actually very simple. He had no intention of meeting this princess before he could prevent himself from being influenced by Princess Hu Rou.

But Princess Hu Rou entered the harem just to meet the emperor. At first, she thought that if she did not live in the Envoy Inn, she could live in the harem so that she could meet the emperor anytime.

As a result, the emperor now intends to avoid her, and Princess Hu Rou cannot meet the emperor even if she wanders around the imperial garden every day.

Coupled with the Queen's deliberate obstruction, the princess really hasn't met the Emperor at all during this period of time.

No matter how dumb the pearl on the grassland was, she knew how abnormal the current situation was.

Hu Rou was not the type of person to follow the beaten path, so without saying a word she acted out a scene of catching a cold while diving.

She also asked her maid to spread the news that Hu Rou was seriously ill and wanted to see the emperor.

When the news reached the emperor, he was a little troubled and simply passed the mess to Zhao Ji.

"The pearls on the grassland are indeed gorgeous, but I know which is more important, the pearls or the country. Lord Zhao, please help me comfort the princess!"

The emperor was lazy, but Zhao Ji was not. It just so happened that General Yun had not yet arrived in Beijing, so Zhao Ji still had some time to deal with this pearl on the grassland.

"Go and call the emperor over to me. This princess is very sick and uncomfortable now. If I can't see the emperor, this illness will never be cured!"

When Zhao Ji arrived outside the palace where the princess currently lived, he heard Hu Rou's vigorous voice.

I guess the palace maids, eunuchs and maids serving in this palace are also quite speechless.

If the princess was really sick, they would probably be worried, but they just listened to the loud shouting.

The princess doesn't look sick.

But the princess's identity was quite sensitive, so the eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to neglect her.

Zhao Ji finally understood why the emperor had thrown this mess onto him.

Don’t you know that the princess is pretending to be sick?

When Zhao Ji walked forward, the eunuchs and palace maids all showed joy when they saw him.

"Greetings, Master Seal..."

Zhao Ji ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to leave as needed and go to the kitchen to boil medicine as needed.

Soon there was no servant left in the palace.

Hu Rou shouted for a long time on the bed, but no one responded. She was so thirsty from shouting.

As a result, when I got out of bed and wanted to pour myself a glass of water, I saw Zhao Ji sitting on the couch.

Zhao Ji sipped the tea leisurely. When he saw Hu Rou get out of bed to pour water, he also drank the tea with a changed expression.

"Isn't the princess sick? How can she get out of bed and pour herself some water?"

Zhao Ji asked, looking at Hu Rou, whose face was rosy.

Hu Rou was shocked by Zhao Ji. In order to seduce the emperor, she didn't wear much clothes. It could even be said that she only wore a layer of middle garment and gauze.

When I suddenly saw Zhao Ji, I couldn't help but recall the day when they had physical contact.

A blush appeared on Hu Rou's face, and she quickly hid behind the curtain, trying to use the thin gauze to cover her graceful figure.

Zhao Ji put down the tea with a smile: "Since the princess can still walk and jump, I believe the illness will be cured in a few days. I will ask the palace to carefully prepare some pills for you in the next few days. Don't go out to get exposed to the wind..."

Hu Rou was not stupid after all. When she heard what Zhao Ji meant, she felt that she was going to be under house arrest.

She didn't care about being shy at the moment, and quickly came out from behind the curtain and grabbed Zhao Ji's clothes without saying a word.

"I'm sick! I just want to go out for some fresh air and a walk. Why are you keeping me here?"

Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at the thinly dressed princess, his eyes full of ambiguity: "I don't know if the princess is sick now, but if she wears so little and wants to go out, I'm afraid she will really get sick in a few days!"

Zhao Ji was tall, and although Hu Rou was a girl who grew up on horseback, she was still more than a head shorter than Zhao Ji.

With Zhao Ji's gaze looking down, he could just see the beautiful scenery on Hu Rou's chest.

Hu Rou cried out, covered her chest, and raised her foot to kick Zhao Ji.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji moved very quickly and stretched out his hand to directly grasp Hu Rou's ankle.

"I didn't expect the princess to be so wild that she doesn't even wear shoes and socks?"

Zhao Ji looked at the white and tender feet in his hands, smiled and reached up to touch them.

Hu Rou was so frightened that she didn't even care about her foot, which was still in Zhao Ji's hand, and wanted to hide backwards.

As a result, his center of gravity was unstable and his body tilted backward, and he was obviously about to fall to the ground.

Zhao Ji sighed, then pulled the person into his arms and picked her up like a princess.

"Princess, why are you still as reckless as when we first met? It's always like this. I feel like the princess is throwing herself at me!"

Hu Rou's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can this princess be such a person..."

"Put me down quickly. If you don't, I will call for help. If your emperor finds out, he will not forgive you!"

Hu Rou was about to open her mouth to shout, but Zhao Ji was calm and not panicked at all.

He even had time to pinch the princess's slender waist and lift her up.
