The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"Master, there is another letter from the Regent of the North."

Qingniao held up a letter that was urgently sent from [-] miles away and stamped with fireproof paint, and presented it respectfully.

The eldest princess's mansion now has three housekeepers. The first housekeeper, Shi Jingxiu, has the imperial establishment and is responsible for handling cashiers, various bills, document writing, and food; the second housekeeper, Qingniao, is steady and responsible for managing rooms, cabinet keys, and garden flowers and trees; The third housekeeper is Yuanyang, who is considerate and responsible for the clothing and expenses of each room.

Mu Tingxue looked at the bulging letter and suddenly felt a little afraid to accept it.

Ten days ago, Yan Yang wrote his last letter, thanking him for the supplies he sent to the army, and promised to repay him with his life.

That was the most powerful official who committed regicide!

I can't believe that someone who looks so cold and aloof would say such passionate words!

What's even more shameful is that she was in Qihuang Palace at that time, and she opened the letter casually. After reading it, she was so frightened that the letter fell to the ground, and the queen mother saw it with sharp eyes.The queen mother showed a meaningful smile to her and said, "My daughter is extremely kind to him, and she has spent so much money. He has such awareness, and the Ai family is very happy."

Mu Tingxue replied to him a letter, asking him to fight well and focus on killing the enemy and attacking the city, and not to think about anything else.

"Master? The knife to open the letter is ready for you. The sergeant who delivered the letter said there is jade inside."

Seeing her in a daze, Qingniao reminded her.

Mu Tingxue came back to her senses: "Jade?"

Jade is fragile, why put it in an envelope? Zhenbei Express is not professional.

She carefully opened the letter, and sure enough, she poured out a piece of very ancient jade wall, which was in the shape of a flat circular ring, white and shiny, with grain patterns carved on the wall, and the patterns were shaped like sprouting seeds.At first glance, you can tell that it is a sacrificial ritual vessel, and the grain pattern is related to the food that human beings rely on for survival.

"Six jade vessels were made to honor the four directions of heaven and earth. They used the blue wall to honor the sky, the yellow cong to honor the earth, the green gui to the east, the red zhang to the south, the white amber to the west, and the Xuanhuang to the north... Cangbi vase?!"

Mu Tingxue was extremely shocked. Her cangbi jade bottle, which could travel between two realms and had the function of storing space, was actually given to her by the regent?

"A token?"

Mu Tingxue locked herself in the room, took out the Cangbi Jade Vase, and put it on the table together with the Xuanhuang Jade Bi. "The first time I wore it, I had this Cangbi Vase on me. This is a sacrificial offering. The noble ceremonial vessel used by heaven is ranked first among the six vessels. The Xuanhuang jade has been enshrined in the Beilang Mountain Temple for generations by the Beiyu Kingdom. Its value is second only to the jade seal. Cangbi is a gift to heaven, Xuanhuang is a gift to the north, and Cangbi is a gift to heaven. The nobleness of the wall bottle is even higher than that of Xuanhuang!"

Can such a noble ritual artifact be given away casually?

Yan Yang is not stupid.

On the contrary, he was extremely shrewd and wise, killed the king, supported the puppet of the young master, and was ambitious to play with the imperial power in his hands.

"Is it possible that the man in the cave six years ago was——"

Mu Tingxue covered her face and sat there in a daze, her mind in a mess and her heart beating like a drum, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

Don't dare to think about it deeply.

An almost terrifying answer lies behind the door.All she had to do was push the door open slightly to see the truth.

The irresponsible "scumbag" she had scolded countless times, the culprit who pulled up his pants and ran away, causing her so much misery—could it really be Yan Yang!

"Has he recognized me already?"

Mu Tingxue's voice was harsh and hoarse, her blood flowed backwards, and her whole body felt hot.

Because he recognized her, that's why he had that seemingly ridiculous proposal in the auction house.

Because he recognized her, he always helped her secretly and stood up for her in times of crisis.

Because he recognized her, Zebao didn't stop him when he playfully called her mother.

Because he recognized her, he invited her to have a reunion dinner with his children during the Lantern Festival on the eve of the expedition.

Some fragments that once deeply troubled her are now connected together and become a complete circle.She should have discovered long ago that a few chocolate candies from another world did not have such great charm that made the Prince Regent look at her differently. When he saw her for the first time, he had already discovered that she was Zebao's biological mother!

Mu Tingxue was in the boudoir, sitting there for who knows how long.

The Cangbi bottle lying flat on the table seemed to have some kind of connection with the Xuanhuang jade.

The golden Fang Sheng pattern on the bottle and the grain pattern on the jade bi lit up at the same time.

Ding!

Jade resonates.

A magical thing happened - Xuanhuang Jade was swallowed by the Cangbi Vase!

"This?"

Mu Tingxue was shocked. This was the trophy that the Regent had just obtained, and it was just gone?

She quickly penetrated a ray of consciousness, and her consciousness escaped into the jade bottle space.

Finally, I discovered that the Xuanhuang jade was inlaid on the wall on the north side of the space.

She tried it.

All other things in the space can be moved at will, but this piece of Xuanhuang Jade cannot be removed.

The good news is that the space volume has doubled again, from [-] cubic meters to [-] cubic meters.It is roughly equivalent to a small warehouse of one thousand square meters and ten meters high.

It's not very big. It is said that Jingdong's large warehouse covers an area of ​​15 square meters and is [-] meters high. Hers is still far behind.

"It's been expanded without spending any money. It's very good."

Mu Tingxue's consciousness retreated from the space and murmured, "I wonder where Huang Cong, Qing Gui, Chi Zhang, and Bai Hu are, and what special effects they have."

Xuanhuang is in Beiyu Kingdom, so by analogy, is Qinggui in Dongsang Kingdom?

*. *. *

Mu Tingxue did not write a reply to Yan Yang.

I didn't ask him to confirm my suspicion.

She just wanted to calm down.Why not go to the fiefdom of Baidi City to farm? There are still 15 boxes of tomato seeds in the space.Return [-] acres of land to local farmers and let them receive seeds to grow tomatoes.

Before leaving Yundu, she needed to arrange two things, one was her children, and the other was her work in the household department.

Half an hour later, Mu Tingxueren was already standing at the gate of the Imperial College.

At the time of application, it was not time for school to end yet.

It was impossible for Mu Tingxue to pick up her two children and leave early, so she simply walked around in the Imperial College.The elementary school department was full of young masters from official families aged between five and ten, so the security was extremely tight. There were three steps, one sentry, five steps and one guard. She felt uncomfortable strolling around, so she wandered to the Chinese Studies Department.

"Is Her Royal Highness the Princess looking at me?"

"No, she is looking at me. This guy is so handsome, he is destined to be the consort!"

"You can pull him down. The eldest princess's son is still attending classes at the elementary school next door."

"Ahem, although I am only seventeen, I am already mentally prepared to be the father of classmate Xie Wuya... Ouch! Who will hit me?"

The energetic young people came to see the princess after hearing the news.After all, the eldest princess is considered to be a top-notch white, rich and beautiful person in Yundu. Who wouldn’t want to hug such a powerful person and save 20 years of hard work?

Mu Tingxue admired for a while the famous inscription "The Preface of the King of Qin Entering the Formation" written on the stone wall by the first generation principal.

I went to Yanyu Tower again and paid homage to the famous merit wall. On the wall were engraved the names of all the meritorious officials who graduated from this school and left their names in the history books.

"This Imperial College is so wealthy that it even has a private horse farm."

As the saying goes, the six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy.

A top-notch lion, with a light green body and a curly mane, was galloping around the racecourse in a circle with four strong hooves.

The teenage boys from the Chinese Studies Department, with their heroic figures, are practicing riding and shooting on horseback.This should have been a beautiful scene, but - there was also cruelty in the beauty.

A proud and beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes, exceptionally fair skin, who looked a bit like a Western crooked nut, was tied up with a hemp rope and was pulled by Lion Cong.The horse galloped, and he dragged it wildly on the ground.

This is abuse.

The leg of the blond boy with blue eyes was injured, and his white pants were tinged with red.The lion was too wild. It jumped and kicked when it ran, so the boy was forced to swing around. Sometimes he hit his head hard, and sometimes he broke his ribs.

The students of the Imperial College happily enjoyed this scene, they were excited and they laughed wildly.

"Yuwen Xiuzhu, how do you feel? Are you feeling good?"

"Aren't you Beiyu people very powerful, but you can be so bad that you throw the plague-infected corpses into our Yunhuang territory, haha."

"Don't be like this, he is a prince after all."

"What a bullshit prince. His eldest brother is living comfortably as the prince in Beiyu Kingdom. What the hell is he? He's just a useless trash. Otherwise, he wouldn't be sent to our Yunhuang as a hostage."

"Yuwen Xiuzhu, the Beiyu Emperor sent you to Yunhuang as a hostage, sent Beiyu cavalry to burn, kill and loot in the north, and threw plague corpses into the Zhenbei military camp. He really doesn't care about your life or death at all. .Ha ha ha ha!"

……

Mu Tingxue watched quietly and did not step forward to stop this atrocity.

She is the eldest princess of the Yunhuang Kingdom, representing the Yunhuang royal family. Her child's biological father fought bloody battles in the north to protect the country. Tens of thousands of people in the Zhenbei Army were infected with the plague, and the soldiers and civilians of Anyuan City were infected with each other. Not even Renqing was there. If they can survive, at least thousands of people will have died of the disease by the time the special medicine is delivered.

The culprit is one of the brothers of Beiyu Proton Yuwen Xiuzhu, Huwei General Yu Wenhu.

Yuwen Xiuzhu may be miserable and pitiful.

However, this cannot eliminate the hatred of everyone present for Beiyu Country!Their family members and friends are probably on the battlefield.They are afraid of the plague, and they are afraid that the epidemic will spread from Beiyu to every corner of Yunhuang.

The wildly running lion finally stopped. It raised its head, neighed, and trampled its hooves.

"Ahhh-"

The screams echoed throughout the racecourse.

Yuwen Xiuzhu was kicked in the abdomen, and his whole body was kicked out like a blood-stained rag, and the hemp rope was broken.He hit the wall on the south side of the racecourse hard, creating a hole. The gravel rolled down and hit his head and face, almost burying him.

But even so, the blond boy did not give in.

He struggled to get up from the rubble, raised his face covered with blood, and looked towards the north: "I was born as a Beiyu man, and I die as a Beiyu ghost!"

Just in time for school.

90.00% of the supervisors on the racecourse dispersed and went back to their respective homes, no longer interested in this cruel game.

But there were still three fierce ones surrounding Yuwen Xiuzhu on the south wall.

"Not dead yet?"

A fat young man with a sinewy face grabbed Yuwen Xiuzhu's blond hair very roughly and forced him to look at him, "Why don't you let me give you a ride?"

Yuwen Xiuzhu was so painful that his consciousness was blurred, but his blue eyes were still unruly: "My country is in the north, but I beg... to die facing the north!"

"You have such a beautiful idea, I'll let you die on the south wall!"

The fat young master with a sinister face would not let him get his way. He pulled Yuwen Xiuzhu's hair and hit him again and again, "You can never go back."

"enough."

Mu Tingxue walked over with a cold face.

When the supervisors saw the eldest princess coming, they were afraid of her royal status and quickly showed their flattering smiles.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess is a thousand years old." The fat boy with a sinewy face bowed respectfully.

The other two accomplices were also busy saluting.

Mu Tingxue said: "Bamboo can be burned but its knots cannot be destroyed; jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed."

The obese young man immediately heard the essence of her words and hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Highness, you don't know something. This Beiyu Country proton can be beaten at will in the Imperial College. His biological parents don't care whether he lives or lives. We also want to Let him know that Yunhuang Tianwei is absolutely inviolable!"

Mu Tingxue threw a dagger.

It landed on the stone in front of Yuwen Xiuzhu, making a bright metallic sound.

She had medicine on her but gave him a knife.

"After his death, his body was buried in the bamboo forest north of the Imperial Academy."

Mu Tingxue turned around and left to pick up the child.

What she doesn't know is.

These three Imperial College students are actually cowards. They like to show off their power, but they have never actually killed anyone.He immediately dispersed like birds and beasts and ran away.

As for Yuwen Xiuzhu, the eldest princess granted him the right to commit suicide to fulfill his loyalty and promised to be buried in the north after his death.

He was covered in wounds and held the dagger tremblingly.

Tears suddenly appeared in his unruly blue eyes, and then he opened his mouth slightly, howling and crying in pain, and his body kept twitching.

The father, queen and mother of the Northern Kingdom abandoned him.

He was held hostage in Yunhuang, looked at people's looks, listened to sarcastic remarks, and was beaten severely, showing no dignity.

By the end...

The only person who left him dignity was actually the member of the Yunhuang royal family whom he hated the most!How ironic!

*. *. *

Department of household, value house.

The so-called value room is a modern office.

Mu Tingxue, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, has a total of fifteen officials under him, including two ministers of the Ministry of household, the fourth rank; three ministers of the household, the fifth rank; and some sesame officials, Yuanwailang, principals, and ambassadors of the fifth department, a total of ten people.

It is this team that manages land, taxation, household registration, money and food matters across the country.

The eldest princess had just taken over and was relatively junior, so she gave some of her power to her two deputy ministerial-level cadres - Yan Nanye, the left minister of the household department, and Zheng Suiliang, the right minister of the household department, who was over [-] years old.

Zheng Suiliang was very respectful to his new boss. He was an old official and a member of the Zheng family, a prominent family with the five surnames: "Thanks to you, the salaries owed to officials in Yundu and various provinces and counties for several months have been paid out one after another. complete."

Lao Zheng worked under the Lu family and his son for most of his life, and he suffered a lot.

Especially Lu Shilei, the second generation of a dandy, who knows nothing, so he gets all the credit, and he has to do double the work.It was miserable.

Old Zheng endured and endured, and finally managed to get rid of the man named Lu.

The newly arrived Zuo Shilang is very diligent and no longer needs his old bones to do two jobs; although the new Minister of Household Affairs is a female official, he will never treat his subordinates like slaves. He also worked vigorously and resolutely to solve some messy problems, such as officials' salary arrears and military pay issues.

Mu Tingxue said, "Mr. Zheng, could you please give me a brief introduction to the household affairs of the past few days?"

Although she let Zheng Suiliang and Yan Nanye handle the ministry affairs, all matters, big and small, must be reported clearly to her.

"Yes."

Zheng Suiliang reported every detail of his official duties to his leaders.In some places, it was not handled well. He tried to muddle through and was vague.

But it was a pity that Mu Tingxue was a shrewd leader and interrupted him three times. She had to ask carefully for any ambiguities.

After a report, Lao Zheng was already thirsty and sweating profusely.

Mu Tingxue rewarded him with a bowl of warm tea: "Have tea."

Lao Zheng thanked him, drank it all in one breath, and wiped the corners of his lips with his hand, "One more thing, Your Highness, it is already the end of February. According to the rules, governors of various provinces and governors of various states should, according to the rules, at this time, according to their share Pay local treasures to the imperial court and put them into the Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The specialty of Baidi City is raccoon skin, but the governor of Baidi City has been passing it off as good quality for several years in a row and failed to pay the full amount and quality... Alas, The governor of the Imperial City is the godson of the old Princess Qin Ling. He is a close associate of Prince Qin Ling and often considers himself a relative of the emperor. However, our ambassador from the Ministry of Household Fucang, who is responsible for collecting treasures, is only an eighth-rank official. There is nothing we can do with him. No, I even got ridiculed a lot."

As he spoke, Old Man Zheng secretly wiped his tears.

Mu Tingxue flipped through the information on the ambassador from Cangfu, the eighth-rank household department—Zheng Hanyuan, 20 years old, and had been in the official position for one year.

She got it.

Lao Zheng is here to accuse his descendants.

Baidi City was her fiefdom. The local governor, relying on the nepotism of the old princess Qinling, was domineering and unruly. He did not pay the special products properly and even humiliated and ridiculed Zheng Hanyuan, the little sesame official of Hubu Cangfu who came to collect the things.

"This princess will leave in the afternoon."

Mu Tingxue left Yundu City with a convoy.

Yan Yang left her team of Zhenbei Army to clear the way, escorting several carts of tomato seeds behind them and escorted by eunuchs, and marched towards Baidi City in a mighty manner.

A large cardboard box containing tomato seeds was emptied.

There were two cute babies squatting inside, blinking.

The two of them poked two holes in the carton, which served as air holes for easy observation of the outside.

"Zebao, it's so crowded. Did you gain weight during the Chinese New Year?"

"How come, this baby has the best figure, no matter how big or small, I call him brother, or elder brother."

"Hmph, we are the same age, you can't even try to take advantage of me."

"Mom said I am the elder brother!"

"Shh--please keep your voice down. If mother finds out that we skipped class and climbed into her car secretly to follow us to Baidi City, she will beat us."
