This skill was honed from whispering during class, but Sui Mo must have used his true energy to transmit the sound.
"Is the one at the very front of the army formation from the Meng family?"
Sui Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After a few breaths, he answered, "Yes, Meng Jian, the third son of the Meng family and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards."
Qin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow. "He's actually quite good-looking."
Broken Ink: !
This person is not easy to mess with.
The Meng family was not only a dukedom, but also a family that had guarded the capital region for generations, making them the most steadfast members of the imperial faction.
The late emperor defied public opinion and passed the throne to the current emperor, entrusting the Meng family as his first choice. The 200,000 imperial guards in the capital region are all under his command.
At the beginning of His Majesty's reign, it would not have been possible to smoothly take over the throne if the Meng family had not followed him to the death.
Meng Jian, the third son of this generation, is already the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard at a young age, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will become one of the pillars of the family.
Sui Mo subconsciously wanted to advise against it, saying that if it weren't for the position of heir apparent, contact with the Meng family would do far more harm than good, and would definitely be met with suspicion.
But then I thought about the secret edict His Majesty issued... and it didn't seem impossible...
Just as her thoughts were racing, she heard the Sixth Princess sigh softly, "Such a handsome young man, what a pity..."
What a pity? What's so regrettable about it?
[Tsk, what a pity. He's quite a handsome man, but unfortunately he's from the Meng family. What bad luck!]
If only he were a common soldier, I could flirt with him, take him into the princess's palace, and have him scrub clothes with his abs every day, hehehe...
Qin Minghuang: !
The abs are scrubbing clothes; she's still the same Xiao Liu. It reminds me of the painter she took in to her mansion…
The Empress's fist hardened again, and the slight guilt that had just risen in her heart vanished instantly.
After the prime minister's eldest son, now it's the Meng family's turn? But judging from her inner thoughts, she avoids them like the plague.
It was a major taboo for princes and princesses to have contact with the Meng family, but Qin Minghuang suddenly had an evil idea.
If Xiao Liu really gets involved with the Meng or Pei families, even if she doesn't want to, everyone will inevitably think she's participating in the struggle for the throne.
Coincidentally, the most outstanding members of the Meng and Pei families in this generation are both in the disaster relief team!
The three disaster relief envoys noticed that His Majesty's expression had become gloomy and unclear, and they wondered what he was thinking.
Soon, the procedures of the Department of Ceremonial Affairs were completed, and Qin Minghuang gave a final word of encouragement before the disaster relief team officially set off.
Qin Zhaoyue had never left the capital and was still very curious about the outside world, so she fell asleep.
Yes, it was exciting at first, but then I found out it was all roads and trees, and to make matters worse, I saw something dirty in the line.
I don't know why, but the prime minister's eldest son was also in the disaster relief team, which just annoyed me.
The carriage was softly padded, and Qin Zhaoyue slept soundly.
Sui Mo, who was in the same carriage as her, shook his head silently. The Sixth Princess really has a lot of dreams.
Even in her sleep, she's restless, pouting as if she's arguing with someone in her dreams. Without makeup, she looks like a pretty little girl, so cute... Oh my!
Sui Mo quickly suppressed this dangerous thought, thinking of the princess's wicked nature, and abruptly turned her head away.
At noon, the procession stopped, and the eldest princess came in person. Only then did Qin Zhaoyue wake up.
"What's wrong, sis?"
The eldest princess, clad in armor, showed no signs of fatigue after walking for half a day, a stark contrast to her usual languidness.
Qin Zhaoyue guessed that her elder sister also possessed martial arts skills, and her skill level was probably quite high.
"The roads near Beijing are relatively easy to travel, so I'm thinking of skipping lunch and cooking."
We'll stop briefly to let the horses rest, then eat some dry rations. We'll cook dinner after we set up camp for the night.
There were three members of the royal family in the group, and she herself was a member of the military, so marching was just a normal thing for her.
It's fine that the fifth brother is a bit rough around the edges, but it's the sixth sister who's been spoiled and pampered since childhood and has never suffered any hardship, so she came to explain herself.
"Okay, big sister, you don't need to worry, I will follow your instructions."
Qin Zhaoqiong was a little apprehensive when she arrived, after all, she knew her younger sister's way of doing things.
Although her candid conversation in the Imperial Study changed his opinion of her somewhat, suggesting she might be quite intelligent, she fell asleep in court the very next day…
She truly hadn't expected them to be so cooperative, and their repeated calls of "Big Sister" reminded her of her childhood.
As the eldest princess, the other little kids followed her around all day calling her "sister, sister."
But everything changed as they grew up. Without realizing it, Qin Zhaoqiong touched her younger sister's head.
She had been fast asleep in the carriage, her hair all matted from sleeping, so I smoothed it down for her.
Feeling the pressure of her palm, and hearing the little head nudging her like a gentle little animal, Qin Zhaoqiong's heart melted, and her voice softened unconsciously.
"You should get out of the car occasionally to walk around and get some fresh air. Sitting for too long is uncomfortable, and you still have a long way to go."
"Yes, I know."
Qin Zhaoqiong was busy; the troops had just set off, and he needed to discuss the deployment with the imperial guards before he had to leave.
At this moment, Qin Zhaoyue called someone to bring over a food box, "Big sister, these are pastries from Tianxianglou that I brought for you to eat."
She knew in her heart that although her elder sister was nominally the deputy envoy, she was actually the one who called the shots in the team.
Moreover, if the position of the second-generation empress is to be maintained, the strong eldest sister is more suitable than the third or fourth sister, and is very likely to be the future heir apparent.
If I want to live a life of ease and comfort from now on, I'll have to rely on this person a lot.
The original owner's relationship with the eldest princess was only so-so; after all, given that silly girl's personality, it would be strange if she liked her.
At this point, it's understandable to want to improve the relationship; besides, it's never wrong to be polite.
Qin Zhaoqiong thought to herself that she was still just a child, greedy for sleep and food, but seeing her sparkling eyes, she finally accepted it.
"Okay, thank you, Sixth Sister."
"It's okay, I have plenty more."
Before the princess returned, the deputy general saw that she had brought back a food box and asked what it was.
"The Brocade Pastry was given to me by my sixth sister."
The lieutenant shook his head. "The Sixth Princess doesn't know, our general doesn't like sweets."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand, but the princess dodged it.
"Who said I don't like to eat?"
Lieutenant General:?
