"I didn't do anything with her, we just exchanged a few words."
Meng Qingqian was well aware of the family's "surplus grain," but this was a rare period of good fortune for her, and she had to vent her anger on He Yunxiao.
"You're speaking up for her without doing anything?"
He Yunxiao quickly explained, "Mengbao, I'm telling the truth. She even helped me save Jiang Wuyou's mother. There's no way I can lie about that, is there?"
Meng Qingqian said irritably, "How do you know she didn't do it on purpose?"
"What good would it do her to deliberately trick me? I'm Zhang Lingshan, a nobody."
"Who knows? Maybe she's just lustful."
"Just like Momonga?"
"Me... um..."
In a side hall of Fenghua Palace, a couple closed their eyes in tacit understanding, enjoying each other's company.
...
This was the umpteenth time Meng Qingqian had scolded herself for being useless.
She had originally planned to show off her power in front of He Yunxiao, but the moment He Yunxiao's lips touched hers, her whole body was electrified by a strong electric current rising from his lips, leaving her numb and limp.
He had no strength left in his body, and his strong will was destroyed in an instant.
Her mind went blank, leaving only her love for He Yunxiao and the countless times they had practiced their coordination. Just like how He Yunxiao held Nan Zhu's hand. He would hook her fingers, and she would know exactly how to hold his hand.

Hmm...
Meng Qingqian, you are the eldest princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, how could you fall so low?
Hmm...
...
After a moment of intimacy, Meng Qingqian obediently leaned against He Yunxiao's chest, letting her lover embrace her exquisitely beautiful body.
"Mengbao. I want to try my luck in the military."
Why?
"Fight the enemy for my Great Qi, and incidentally earn some military merits. It's not like there's a war between Qi and Yan, with cannons roaring for 800 miles outside the city, and I'm also caught in the crossfire in the palace, is it?"
Meng Qingqian had no intention of getting on the bus; she only felt that He Yunxiao wanted to claim some military merit.
This is naturally a good thing.
"Your father is a second-rank general, and he also has the He family army. What are you doing here looking for me?"
He Yunxiao chuckled, "I work under my father. Before the Yan army can kill me, he'll kill me first. Just assign me to an ordinary army, don't make me stand out too much. Keep a low profile."
Meng Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to keep a low profile, you can go to the recruitment office to sign up and start as a soldier."
He Yunxiao asked in surprise, "Where are you talking about soldiers of the ninth rank?"
“If you're a ninth-rank official, you can at least become a general's bodyguard.” Meng Qingqian thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, “Who in the entire capital doesn't know Young Master He? With your father around, you can't keep a low profile anywhere.”
"Mengbao~"
"Please... let me think about it again..."
Meng Qingqian, worn down by He Yunxiao's nagging, finally said, "If all else fails, you can go to the Ministry of War to get a token and recruit a private army to fight. If you want to act freely, you'll have to find your own food supplies. If you join the imperial army and take command of the general, the imperial court can also provide you with food supplies."
"Can't we use Mengbao's back door?"
Meng Qingqian shook her head. "If you need money, I can give it to you. But don't take advantage of my relationship to openly break the rules of the court. I can do as you please under normal circumstances, but now is wartime, and this is the time when rules are most necessary."
He Yunxiao clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing Mengbao's words. Before, Mengbao would at least pretend to be Li Qingmeng, but now she subconsciously stopped pretending and directly said, "I can do whatever you want normally." She practically had "This Empress" on her lips all the time.
He Yunxiao pretended not to notice the flaw in Mengbao's words.
He took out the honey paste given to him by the Empress Dowager, placed it in Mengbao's hand, and then whispered in Mengbao's ear like a devil, "That's not what I meant, what I meant was..."
Meng Qingqian opened the lid of the honey paste and dabbed a little on her hand with her slender fingers.
Slippery and fragrant. But I have no idea what it's for.
Even after He Yunxiao carefully explained it to her, Meng Qingqian still didn't understand what he meant at all. Some things were still too advanced for her, even.
"Does Mengbao want this toy?"
He Yunxiao began to deceive.
"I don't want to." Meng Qingqian returned the honey paste to He Yunxiao. She knew without even thinking what mischief He Yunxiao was up to, and she wouldn't give him the chance.
He Yunxiao took back the honey paste with a slight sense of regret.
Mengbao may seem open-minded, but she's actually quite traditional. There are some things she's never tried before, let alone honey ointment. She unlocks orthodox methods quickly, but unorthodox methods have made almost no progress on her, even slower than Yinyun and Ruobao. Although Ruobao may not know what legendary, unconventional things she's done.
He Yunxiao could understand. After all, even Sister Jiang couldn't lower herself to rely on her own hard work, so expecting Mengbao to agree personally was even more impossible. Only Yinyun didn't have these concerns.
...
After resting in the palace for one night, He Yunxiao got up early the next morning to pick up his sister Du from the Fan residence for work.
As is customary, he had to spend some time with Ruobao first.
However, Ruobao didn't seem very happy and looked preoccupied. He Yunxiao had to coax her for a while before she felt better.
On the carriage to Daqi Bank, He Yunxiao and Du Yinyun sat close together.
Du Meimei is now exuding more and more of a female CEO aura. Even her clothing style has shifted from the icy beauty style to a more mature, sophisticated, and powerful look.
Du Meimei is naturally aloof, and with the support of her business at Daqi Bank, she can easily transform into an icy, sophisticated woman.
