The next day, in the court.

"Report! Xianya County in Mengzhou has been lost!"

"Report! General Ji is injured and unconscious!"

"Report!"

The emperor felt that his headache was coming back, and he said, "If you have anything else to say, tell me all at once."

The soldier said: "The Northern Barbarians have gathered 200,000 troops and are planning to launch a surprise attack on Daqian."

Prime Minister Lin stood up, his voice a little unsteady: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical right now."

The emperor thought to himself: Do I need to tell you that the situation is critical?

The soldier handed the urgent report to Eunuch Shi, who then delivered it to the emperor.

The words were written hurriedly, with messy strokes, and seemed to be mixed with smoke and blood.

"Food is scarce, the weather is cold, urgent!"

Yes, it’s only March now, and it’s exceptionally cold this year, so it must be tough in the north.

Many of the soldiers there did not survive that winter.

The court officials were in a panic and all said that God wanted to destroy Daqian.

Although the new emperor had been on the throne not long ago and was usurped by a minister, he was kind and benevolent, and willing to listen to advice. Apart from having no children, he could be called a good monarch.

He is a wise ruler.

Now Choi Ji-eun is still trapped in the dilemma of recognizing her daughter yesterday. She is confused and sighs unconsciously.

"Lord Cui, do you have anything to say?"

The emperor had excellent eyesight and could see that Choi Ji-eun was distracted.

Choi Ji-eun was called and looked at her father-in-law in confusion.

Cui Nanzhu, General Cui, was winking at his stupid son-in-law.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Cui Zhien had not completely ignored what she had just heard. She only heard something about going to war and said, "I am willing to serve your majesty like a dog or a horse and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Now, his home is a mess and he wants to escape. Maybe things will be better when he comes back.

The few remaining military officers in the court all gasped. They had been shouting happily just now, but not one of them asked for permission.

General Ji is already unconscious, how do we know that isn't a den of wolves and tigers?

"Well, this is a good man of my Daqian." The emperor stood up and laughed, "Lord Cui, if you want any reward, just ask."

There were very few precedents of rewarding military generals without any merit, and the emperor also wanted to show the generals that he was not stingy in giving honor to his subjects.

Cui Zhien didn't want anything at first, but then she thought, this was the face given by the emperor, and she couldn't slap him in the face.

Moreover, although his father-in-law was old, he was very prestigious. If he asked for something for Mei'er, the emperor would be a little afraid.

"Your Majesty, I have a daughter who is only thirteen years old. I hope Your Majesty will give her a good name to add to her glory."

Zhou Wan is already married, and her husband's family is good, so there is no need to worry too much about her.

Zhou Ning was young and had a bad temper, so if she got a false reputation, she would not be feared by the emperor and would also bring honor to him. She would also be able to find a good husband in the future.

"Oh? Lord Cui has a child, how come I didn't know?"

It was common knowledge in the city that Miss Choi had married Choi Ji-eun.

Cui Nanzhu also learned about this last night, and told him: "Your Majesty, I also just learned that Zhien had two daughters before she lost her memory."

The emperor has secret guards who usually gather all kinds of information for him.

The minister was displeased and the next day he spread the news of his drinking and prostitution, which led to a severe scolding from his own wife.

That minister is talking nonsense again. In a few days, the fact that he forced women of good families into prostitution will be exposed and he will be sent to jail.

But the emperor didn't know about this and became interested.

"Well, I wonder what your daughter's personality is like and what her original name was?" asked the emperor.

Speaking of temperament.

Cui Zhien sighed again and again, and said: "The temperament of a little girl... innocent and straightforward, one word is 'lemon'."

"how to write?"

Cui Zhien was stunned. Yesterday, she only knew her name, but didn’t know how to write it. “I… don’t know.”

The emperor did not criticize him too much, nodded, and said: "In this case, let's discuss this matter after the court session."

After the court session, the emperor said to Shi, "Go and bring that... Ning to the palace."

The emperor thought about it and said considerately: "This child must have grown up in the countryside and would be afraid of coming here for the first time. In this case, I will allow someone to accompany him."

Shi Nei Shi received the order and flattered, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. Miss Ning will definitely be grateful for your grace."

When they arrived at the place, Eunuch Shi was waiting in the flower hall, looking around calmly.

The decoration here is quite elegant, I guess Miss Ning is also an elegant person.

Liu Qingxiu was entertaining the guests and was under a lot of pressure.

Although I have met him before, I only received a reward last time, but this time I have to meet the emperor.

What if something goes wrong in the middle?

"Eunuch Shi?"

When Zhou Ning and Shen You arrived, they saw Eunuch Shi's face full of surprise.

As the chief eunuch beside the emperor, Shi Nei Shi has a strong ability to recognize people.

He recognized her immediately: "You, you are the county lady?"

Shen You smiled and said, "Yes."

"Who is Miss Ning?" Eunuch Shi knew who she was when he saw the girl in red next to Shen You.

This is the daughter adopted by the Shen family.

Oh my god, what kind of fate is this.

Shi Nei Shi had seen a lot of things after all, so he immediately continued, "General Cui is about to go on an expedition. In order to reward General Cui, please invite Miss Ning to the palace. The emperor will give you a good name."

change name?

Zhou Ning was somewhat reluctant and didn't want to speak for a while.

"This is a great blessing." said Eunuch Shi.

Do you want this blessing?

Shen You tried to smooth things over: "Can I follow you? Ning doesn't really understand the rules, and I'm afraid she'll break them."

Shi Nei Shi replied: "The Emperor has granted permission for Miss Ning to bring one person into the palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning waved towards Yun Rong, and Yun Rong handed over a bag filled with real silver.

"These are for tea money, thank you so much." Shen You smiled sweetly, "If we meet other people, I'm afraid they won't be as open-hearted to us as you are."

Eunuch Shi felt warmed when he heard this, and as the silver jingled, he ignored Zhou Ning's indifference and took the two of them to the palace.

The palace was very large and far away. When Zhou Ning looked up, he felt that there was no top and it was very depressing.

Shen You, on the other hand, happily whispered, "This place is so big, I think it should be quite fun. It would be great if we could visit the legendary Imperial Garden."

Zhou Ning and Shen You were poor students in their previous lives. They devoted themselves to studying and had neither time nor money to play.

Therefore, Shen You was very curious about this place he had never seen before.

Zhou Ning yawned and whispered, "I feel sleepy just looking at this."

The red bricks and tiles, the emptiness, make me dizzy just looking at them.

Qinzheng Hall.

This is where the emperor works. It was formerly called the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but was renamed by the new emperor.

"County Lady, Miss Ning, let me go in and report first."

Zhou Ning and Shen You nodded obediently, but took the opportunity to loosen their wrists and ankles.

too tired.

Eunuch Shi went in and saw the emperor talking to Cui Zhien.

Shi Nei Shi reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Ning and the county lady are here."

"County Princess?" The emperor asked in confusion, "Where did the County Princess come from?"

Shi Nei Shi said with a stiff face: "It was you who personally appointed her as the county lord of Junlai Town."
