Healthy, Hanzhang Palace.

Concubine Cui received a letter from home, and the court lady helped her wash her hands. The low table beside her was filled with lychees and melons given by the emperor.

The gilded copper basin reflected a face that was 70% similar to Cui Jing.

She let the maid apply the ointment on her hands, and then she took the letter. A smile appeared on Su Lai's cold face: "Didn't you just receive the letter a few days ago? What's this?"

The female official leaned over and said jokingly, "Mr. Cui must have good things to do," with admiration in her eyes, "Last time, he only used a box of gold cakes to make Lu Liangdi unable to turn over." Her proud and flattering look made Concubine Cui laugh out loud.

She thought it was just a joke, and her Majesty knew the truth. You can only gain if you give.

If it hadn't been for the previous dynasty's problem of military rations in the northern border, Cui Jing would have sent gold, although not much, but it was a reminder to the emperor not to be blinded by women, and it was also to support Concubine Cui.

On the second day, Lu Liangdi came obediently to hold the bottle for the imperial concubine, and only then was she sent to the cold palace.

Even if all the people in the Cui family were put together, they couldn't compare to how much our imperial concubine cared about her brothers.

The female official saw that Concubine Cui's smile grew wider as she read the letter, and thought to herself, this seems to be a really good thing that could make the Concubine so happy.

Seeing the curiosity on the female official's face, Concubine Cui glared at her and said, "You guessed it right. This is a gift from my younger brother to Your Majesty." She was playing with a gold-plated folded book in her hand, and after just a glance at it, she threw it on the table.

My brother bypassed Cui and specifically stated that he would present the tribute through her. Am I trying to show goodwill to Your Majesty?

Why is it that you are so rude to the royal family members? Her charming face was filled with worry.

She is the emperor's woman, so she belongs to His Majesty. If he doesn't follow the Cui family's path openly, he should be able to let go of his grudges against the clan!

However, what puzzled her was that this secret technique actually belonged to the Xie family. She was curious, because the Xie family had someone else, except Xie An, the saint disciple who had become a Confucian.

Some time ago, he was forced to marry by the princess and resigned from his post, which brought shame to Prince Yu's Mansion. There are no other people left to show off.

She was a little dazed when she saw the secret technique in her hand. How did this thing get into her hands? She turned to the last page and said, "Sure enough, there are conditions."

When she frowned and looked, she only saw the words "Xie Yun".

Since the day Xie Xian met the eldest son of the Cui family, she started to get busy.

The Thousand Machine Battalion of the Black Stone Guard returned to the guard for rotation. Xie Xian went to inspect them. These guards were all brave, but they were all ragged and thin.

She glanced at Xie Changhuan standing next to her, and said with her eyes, "Is this what you said, that you would take care of our people?"

Looking at the dusty faces of the guards, there was only longing and joy for their families, while they turned a blind eye to the lumps on their linen clothes and the exposed straw sandals, without any dissatisfaction on their faces.

Xie Changhuan felt bitter in his heart, thinking that he was incompetent and had made his brothers suffer!

Xie Xian took a deep breath and clenched her palms tightly. Damn it! I can't look at it anymore. She was afraid that if she looked at the fox on the farm for one more time, it would start to cry. This damn world, the anger in her chest surged, as if she wanted to overturn everything.

These are soldiers defending their country. They were promised preferential treatment and good care. So is the governor of Tongguan blind?

Xie Xian's face was gloomy, and her low pressure made the people around her take two steps back. Xie Changhuan looked ashamed and did not dare to look at her.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Niu Er shrank his neck and took two steps back. Wow, his lady was so powerful that she even dared to challenge his father-in-law.

He turned around and saw that his brother-in-law had also returned, and Liu was surrounding him and asking about his well-being!

Gou Gen was also circling around, and the three of them were having a great time. He walked over with his hands behind his back and coughed lightly.

"Uncle, is that Tongguan really that tall?" Gou Gen opened his eyes wide, and his little face, which had become a little chubby after a month of growth, was full of excitement.

"Kid, get off your uncle," Mrs. Liu complained to her son while wiping away tears. Alas! She was happy for her brother's return home, but also sad that her mother didn't wait until now.

Liu Yu smiled slightly on his dark face and shook his nephew who was hanging on his body with his hand: "Oh, it's really a lot heavier!" He felt relieved in his heart. Why did he work so hard? It was just to make sure his family had enough food to eat.

"Ahem," Niu Er said with his hands behind his back.

"Yeah, Aunt Yu said I ate a lot this month!" Gou Gen happily touched his head and grinned.

"Thanks to my brother-in-law for his hard work," he was grateful that his nephew had been raised so well that even his eldest sister had some fat on her face.

"Cough," Niu Er coughed again with a red face.

"What does it have to do with him? He's a useless guy and didn't bring a penny home." Liu pushed Niu Er aside and pulled Liu Yu into the house.

Niu Er, who was just about to say hello, had his smile stuck on his face. In the end, he could only let go of Erkang's hand helplessly and snorted to express his indifference.

Isn't it just that I withdrew a few months' salary in advance? But I didn't spend it recklessly. Hey, I didn't even know how to save face for him in front of others.

The three people in the room were having a great time.

Gou Gen, who was standing next to him, didn't care about his father's thoughts at all. "Uncle, let me tell you, this is all what I ate in primary school. Aunt Yu said that we can eat as much as we want, and Lady Jun can afford it."

Liu Yu's smile paused and he grasped the key point: "Who is Aunt Yu?" He carefully looked at his eldest sister's expression and saw that there was no change. Then he followed his nephew's force and entered the inner room.

"Your nephew is doing very well now! He is living in the primary school of the second branch, where he gets provided with meals. The boys in Wei have a full stomach every day. I envy those who have such good food!" Mrs. Liu's face was flushed.

"Mom, I'm not just wasting time here, I'm just going to school!" Gou Gen was dissatisfied.

"That's fine, but I heard that Xiao Li'er took the first place in your class's monthly exam and even got a roast chicken." Liu glanced at him and Gou Gen wilted.

"That's because she learned it earlier than me! I'm letting her do it." I'm letting her do it to me. Gou Gen was hypnotizing himself. It was definitely not because of his carelessness.

Seeing the mother and son happily bickering with each other, Liu Yu looked around and found that all the missing furniture in the room had been replaced with new ones.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but the room feels warm.

His sharp eyes fell on the earthen wall that separated the door. He walked around the wall and saw an earthen stove half a man's height, with red stones burning inside and an iron pot sitting on top. Steam was rising from the pot, and it seemed that it would soon boil.

Seeing her brother studying the stove, Liu smiled and said, "Gou Gen, quickly bring the basin and ask your uncle to wash it. The room is heated now, so you can wash it too."

After saying that, he drew the curtain, went out and closed the door.

Gou Gen heard this, found a wooden bucket, and scooped up some hot water: "Uncle, this is good stuff, it's so easy to take a hot bath, come on!"

Liu Yu felt warm in his heart. Since he returned to the garrison, although he knew that his lord had been replaced, the old soldiers who had served for many years had long been calm.

When he sank his head into the warm water, he felt unprecedented relaxation and comfort. With a smile on his face, he whispered, "Madam?" Not bad.
