When Chi Yu's carriage stopped in the stable, Yan Qinglu came over with a group of female relatives.
Chi Yu didn't recognize the women, but he could roughly guess who they were.
"Sister Le'an, today..."
She had barely opened her mouth when Chi Yu interrupted her.
"Sister Yan, just now my sister-in-law and I were about to go to the outskirts to find Asen."
As they approached the city gate, they heard a report of victory from outside, saying that the Northern Di had surrendered.
Also, I need to speak with you privately for a moment.
Yan Qinglu observed that the battle remained at a stalemate, and as the weather grew colder, the Northern Di attacked more fiercely.
Fearing that her family members would be uneasy, she invited them over under the guise of enjoying the snow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as those people arrived, those who had always been unwilling to get involved came over.
Upon hearing the news of the Northern Di's surrender, her face lit up with joy, and she immediately addressed the crowd:
"Everyone, Princess Le'an said there is good news outside, and I imagine you are all eager to confirm the situation of your own family members."
How about we get together another day?
Chi Yu had never attended such a banquet, but everyone present knew about her trip to Northern Xinjiang.
Upon hearing that the Northern Barbarians had surrendered, they were so eager to get home that they had no interest in exchanging pleasantries.
Sure enough, upon hearing Yan Qinglu's words, everyone beamed with joy.
After greeting the fish, they all took their leave.
In no time at all, everyone was gone.
Seeing that her relative Yan Qinglu was looking over, Chi Yu said, "Sister Yan, shall we find a place where we can talk?"
"Alright, please follow me!"
The northern frontier has no shortage of land, so the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion was built on an exceptionally large scale.
It could be said that the entire area of the prefecture was larger than the alley where Chi Yu lived.
Besides the houses, there are also a martial arts training ground and a horse racing track here.
Yan Qinglu didn't know why Chi Yu wanted to see her. Fearing that someone might eavesdrop if they stayed indoors, she simply took her to the open horse farm.
Chi Yu had no idea what Yan Qinglu was thinking. After walking with her sister to the horse farm, she looked around.
After confirming that no one was around, she said, "Sister Yan, I told Amu before that I wanted to reward the soldiers after the Northern Di surrendered."
I wonder if he spoke to the Marquis yet? Do you know?
Upon hearing this, Yan Qinglu immediately nodded, and said tentatively:
"Yes, I heard my lord mention it some time ago."
My lord's intention is, Sister Le'an, that you wish to use Sixth Sister's hand to reward the entire army?
In my opinion, that's unnecessary.
Now, every soldier in the entire northern frontier knows that Sister Le'an has a kind heart.
They have received your kindness more than once or twice.
One more time wouldn't hurt.
Chi Yu isn't really naive and innocent; how could she not see through it?
She immediately shook her head: "Sister Yan, I am just a county princess appointed by the imperial court."
When soldiers win a battle, rewarding the entire army is, in principle, a matter for the imperial family.
If I were to act directly in my own name, it would inevitably be seen as overstepping my bounds.
As the legitimate princess born to the Empress, it would be best for Miss Lingqing to represent the royal family.
I have a lot of things to give away, and I need someone to help me transport them.
Therefore, I need to go out of the city to go with Miss Lingqing.
"Sister Yan, please arrange for someone to come and help then."
The more Yan Qinglu understood Chi Yu, the more she liked her.
Seeing that she does good deeds anonymously, the smile on her face seemed much more genuine.
The imperial court may grant fiefdoms to princesses, but it does not need a princess with excessive prestige.
