I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Now that Huang Po is back, you can just focus on learning medicine from Huang Po. Once you have the skills, you won't have to worry about not having food to eat. People still have to rely on themselves. Don't you agree, Xiaohua?"

"Well, big sister, I will listen to you. I will learn from Huang Po, but I don't want to study! But Lian Feng said that if you don't study, you can't be a good doctor!"

Ji Xiaobei said solemnly: "Lian Feng is right, books must be read."

Xiaohua didn't dare to refute, so she could only nod and say, "Then I'll try!"

Huang Po and Lian Feng were busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely. Distillation was going on in the kitchen, and the steam was so hot that it felt like entering a fairyland.

Ji Xiaobei handed Xiaohua to Huang Po, gave Lian Feng some books, and left.

Two days later, Eunuch Fu came suddenly.

As soon as she saw Ji Xiaobei, she smiled and said, "Miss Ji, the emperor invites you to the palace!"

Ji Xiaobei asked subconsciously: "Eunuch Fu, do you know what it is?"

Eunuch Fu said without hiding anything: "Good news, you will know when you go there. Someone has already notified Miss Qiu, and she will be waiting for you at the palace gate."

Ji Xiaobei wondered why there was still this matter about Jiaojiao.

Seeing her doubts, Eunuch Fu said, "It may be related to the Kangju tribe!"

Ji Xiaobei felt relieved when he heard this.

She had heard from Fu Jichang that Tomu of Kangju brought people here this time to make friends with the Great Northern Dynasty.

Brought a lot of rare treasures.

He went to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty, who was very happy.

I just don't know why I was called into the palace.

She got on Eunuch Fu's carriage and arrived at the palace gate more than an hour later.

Jiaojiao was already waiting there.

When she saw Ji Xiaobei, she couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, do you know what's going on? I feel a little uneasy."

"It seems that Tuomu is about to leave and wants to see you!" Ji Xiaobei said.

"Ah, I..." Jiaojiao's expression changed a little.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Tuomu brought people here to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Northern Dynasty!" Ji Xiaobei comforted.

Jiaojiao nodded and followed Ji Xiaobei in.

The two of them followed Eunuch Fu to the back garden.

This was Ji Xiaobei's first time to come to the back garden of the palace. The flowers were in full bloom, bees and butterflies were dancing, and it was very lively.

Passing through a corridor and around a folding screen, one sees a man sitting on a dragon throne with a dignified look on his face.

Sitting on a low stool below him was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

On the other side stood a tall and burly man, dressed in strange clothes.

Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but take one more look, and only when the man turned around did she see his face clearly.

Tom!

The boy shaved off his beard and looked much more cheerful.

He is tall and has a rather generous demeanor.

When he saw Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao, he smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

After Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao met the emperor, they stood aside obediently.

The emperor patted the dragon throne and said with a smile: "Today we are in the back garden, no need to be polite. How come you two don't know Tuomu?"

"Your Majesty, I know you!"

Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao said in unison.

Tuomu smiled cheerfully and said, "My sister and Miss Ji are indeed much prettier after they came back than they were in our place. The land of the Great Northern Dynasty still feeds people!"

The emperor laughed and said, "Our Great Northern Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. Master Tuomu, please come here often in the future!"

The little girl sitting on the stool blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.

The emperor looked at him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my Princess Yulin, who has been with me since she was a child. These are Miss Ji and Miss Qiu."

Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao hurriedly saluted.

Yulin nodded as a greeting.

"The Kangju tribe left Miss Qiu in the Great Northern Dynasty. I am not a stingy person. Princess Yulin is my most beloved daughter. Tuomu, you must treat her well."

The emperor's eyes swept across Yulin, with a bit of complexity and helplessness, and stopped on Tuomu.

Tuomu immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I, Tuomu, will treat Princess Yulin well."

Yulin lowered her head. Ji Xiaobei looked at her, but could not see any expression on her face.

Ji Xiaobei was puzzled. People outside said that Princess Yulin had been domineering since she was a child, so how could she be so weak and pitiful now?

However, she followed Tomu to Kangju, although the environment was not good.

But Tomu and Tomu's mother are both good people, so she won't suffer too much.

As long as the Great Northern Dynasty remained strong, the Kangju tribe would not dare to mistreat Princess Yulin.

Jiaojiao looked at Tuomu in surprise.

Tuomu winked at Jiaojiao proudly.

"Okay, I have something else to do. You young people can take a walk in the garden. My back garden is very beautiful!"

The emperor wanted to stand up as he spoke, but he did not stand up and sat down on the stool again.

He coughed lightly a few times and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Eunuch Fu ran over and helped the emperor up.

Yulin asked in a low voice, "Father, are you okay? Go back and rest!"

The emperor waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't worry!"

Ji Xiaobei took another close look at the emperor's face, it didn't look good!

How did it suddenly become like this?

Didn’t she hear Fu Jichang say that the emperor was ill?

Tuomu was very happy to see Jiaojiao again and said, "Sister, mother missed you very much and asked me to bring you something!"

"Go back and thank mother for me...Have you asked the emperor to marry Princess Yulin?"

Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.

Tuo Mu couldn't suppress his inner excitement and said, "Yes, sister, I met Princess Yulin on the first day I came to the palace, and I fell in love with her. I asked your emperor to marry her, and the emperor agreed. Sister, do you think mother will like Princess Yulin?"

Jiaojiao looked at her silly brother and smiled, "You are really lucky. Princess Yulin of the Great Northern Dynasty was married to you!"

Tuomu was unhappy, twisted his neck and said: "Sister, why do you look down on me? I am the leader of the Kangju tribe!"

"Sister doesn't look down on you. Treat Princess Yulin well in the future. I'm fine here. Don't worry mother..."

The two of them were chatting about family matters.

Princess Yulin looked at Ji Xiaobei and smiled bitterly, "You are Miss Ji, you are really good-looking. Father praised you as a god. He said that the people of the Great Northern Dynasty should thank you. The wheat in the fields has a harvest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Only then can the Great Northern Dynasty be stable."

"I don't deserve it!"

Ji Xiaobei said modestly.

"Father has told me about you and Master Fu. He will grant your marriage, so you don't have to worry!"

Yulin looked a little melancholy.

"Thank you, Princess Yulin." Ji Xiaobei said gratefully.

Princess Yulin is not as she is portrayed to be. She is so sensible and well-behaved that it makes people feel sorry for her.

"I, too, congratulate Princess Yulin!"

Princess Yulin regained her composure and said, "There's nothing to congratulate. As princesses, we enjoy wealth and glory, which means we have to make contributions to the Great Northern Dynasty at any time. I just hope to share some of my father's worries."
