At 3 p.m., the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
All the palace maids, eunuchs and guards in the mansion came out and knelt to greet him.
Shen Mingyue nodded and said, "I just brought the princess here to burn incense for General Zhenbei and Madam Weiguo. I will be leaving in a moment. You can go about your business."
"yes."
Everyone responded and left in an orderly manner.
A middle-aged woman walked up to Shen Mingyue and said, "My servant Shanhu is currently the housekeeper of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Your Majesty, Princess, please follow me."
Coral leads the way.
Lu Qingyuan looked around and felt curious.
As soon as she entered the front yard, she pointed at the group of people busy working by the flower bed not far away and asked, "Hey, what are they doing?"
Shanhu took a look and said, "Those are the gardeners and carpenters. The Emperor said that this Zhenbei General's Mansion is Princess Chaoyang's home and needs to be properly renovated so that Princess Chaoyang can come home more often when she grows up."
Hongye couldn't help but sigh, "The emperor's grace is immense. If the madam and the general knew about this, they would surely rest in peace."
Shanhu glanced at Hongye and said with a smile, "Miss, you don't know yet, right? The Emperor has sent people to take over the Su family's manor and shop. He will cover all expenses and losses, and all profits will be deposited in the Su Mansion for the little princess. She can withdraw them whenever she needs them in the future. The money for renovating the mansion was also paid by the Emperor himself."
Lu Qingyuan was full of envy: "Brother Emperor is so good to Qiqi. I also want to go out of the palace to play anytime!"
On a whim, she gently pinched Su Qiqi's little face and teased, "I've decided. From now on, I'll be your little follower. You will definitely take me out to eat, drink and have fun often, right?"
"Yeah!" Su Qiqi in Shen Mingyue's arms smiled, revealing her two little front teeth.
[I'll be able to enjoy delicious food and drinks with the eldest princess in the future? I'm so excited just thinking about it!]
[Is the Tyrant the reincarnation of the Overlord? He's being way too good to me!]
This quaint and picturesque courtyard, with its flowers and fruit trees, and even this little swing! Wow, it's so cool!
Su Qiqi giggled, her little eyes wide open, looking around excitedly.
Little did she know that among the many gardeners, someone was staring at her silently.
The ancestral hall in the backyard has not been renovated yet.
Shen Mingyue entered the room, held Qiuhe in her arms, and lit three incense sticks.
The general who died fighting for his country deserves her sincere respect.
"General Zhenbei, Madam Weiguo, if you are still alive, please bless Tianqi with good weather and no disasters. May Qiqi grow up healthy and worry-free."
After a while, she inserted the smoky incense into the incense burner and held Su Qiqi in her arms again.
"Hongye, you should also burn some incense for General Zhenbei and Madam Weiguo."
"Your servant, your servant, would like to thank the Imperial Concubine." Hongye was very grateful.
She didn't say a word while burning incense, but her eyes were red from crying.
After everyone finished burning incense and walked out of the ancestral hall, they did not see Pei Yi.
The emperor specifically asked Pei Yi to escort them, so it was impossible for Pei Yi to leave without a chance.
Shen Mingyue was a little worried and couldn't help but hug Su Qiqi tightly, and ordered Qiuhe: "Be careful."
"I know."
At this moment, Pei Yi hurriedly ran out from the alley on the left.
He hadn't caught his breath yet and was still panting: "Your Highness, shall we go?"
"What's going on?" Shen Mingyue asked.
Pei Yi did not hide anything and said frankly, "There is a suspicious person who has been secretly observing us. I am afraid that this is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I did not dare to chase him too far."
Hearing this, Shen Mingyue's eyes narrowed: "Be careful and be sure to protect the princess."
"yes!"
Pei Yi walked in front, and the other two guards walked at the back.
Shen Mingyue and Lu Qingyuan were protected in the middle.
It was not until they got on the carriage that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
//
The sun sets and the afterglow spreads everywhere.
Two columns of guards were riding in a carriage, moving slowly along the road.
There are small bamboo forests on both sides of the road.
In front, there were several burly men with unfriendly faces standing.
Their upper bodies were bare, their arms were covered with scars, and they were holding flamboyant and terrifying weapons in their hands.
Mace, axe, machete, double swords...
It doesn't look like they are here to fight, but rather to put on a show.
"This... this mountain was opened by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through this road, you must leave money to buy your way through!"
The burly man standing in the middle spoke haltingly and didn't seem very smart.
Pei Yi frowned: Are robbers so stupid and funny?
Not getting a response, the burly man urged, "You, you, you... hurry up! Otherwise I will! You're welcome, I, I..."
Pei Yi said impatiently: "Can you please straighten your tongue and speak?"
The sturdy man was furious: "How dare you! I, I, will teach you a lesson! You..."
Shen Mingyue lifted the curtain of the carriage: "What's going on?"
Pei Yi said respectfully, "No problem, I'll take care of it right away."
Then he took off the purse hanging from his waist and stepped forward: "You have hands and feet, why do you do this kind of thing? Use this money to buy some nice clothes and find a decent job."
Pei Yi raised his hand and threw it.
The sturdy man took the purse, weighed it, and smiled stupidly.
"Is that all? You're giving it to a beggar!" Another tall man next to him was still not satisfied.
He glanced at the sedan chair behind Pei Yi and said with a sly grin, "I heard there's a young lady with a soft waist and a delicate body inside. How about..."
"How dare you!" Pei Yi shouted angrily, "Don't refuse my toast and drink the penalty!"
"Oh, brother, I must taste that young lady today!"
As soon as the tall man finished speaking, the other strong men started laughing.
