The White-haired Queen

The letter sent from Heishui Mountain mentioned that Princess Qinghe often visited Heishui Mountain accompanied by Lord Li Changqing. Moreover, she repeatedly told everyone to keep her true identity a secret - the identity of this princess was only known to those who had appeared in Fengyue Potato Restaurant when she first entered the capital.

Princess Qinghe usually appeared in the streets of Heishui Mountain with a big smile on her face. There was no barrier between her and the local people, as if they had known each other for many years.

Princess Qinghe was kindhearted and helpful. She also shared with everyone the greenhouse cultivation she invented in Nanyue. She would always take the initiative to go to the fields to help with the work, such as setting up sheds and sowing seeds.

Whether it is sowing seeds in the greenhouse or picking wild fruits, you can see her busy figure shuttling around.

When night falls and every household starts to prepare dinner, Princess Qinghe will go into each kitchen without any effort to teach some unique cooking skills and share delicious food with everyone.

In addition, Princess Qinghe is also very concerned about the living comfort of the residents of Heishui Mountain. She often participates in house repair work. With her intelligence and dexterous hands, she brings a brand new feeling to those dilapidated houses, making people live more safely and comfortably. At the same time, she has won everyone's sincere gratitude and praise for her.

What is even more commendable is that despite being a princess, Qinghe has no airs at all. She treats everyone equally and kindly, and never shows arrogance or prejudice because of differences in status. This approachable attitude allows her to quickly integrate into the Heishuishan family and she is deeply loved by everyone, becoming the "people-friendly princess" in everyone's mind.

Princess Qinghe and Li Changqing often went to the Huoyan Mountain with red soil to play together. They went deep into the mountain, explored mysterious caves, and appreciated the unique landscape.

The hot spring villa and the cave next to it are no longer unfamiliar to them, because they have been there many times. Every time they go there, they can get different feelings and experiences.

The hot spring villa was filled with steam and smoke, as if you were in a fairyland. The clear and warm spring water gurgled, making people feel relaxed and comfortable. They enjoyed the fun of hot springs, relaxing their tired bodies and forgetting all their worries.

The cave next to it was even more mysterious. It was dark and deep, with a faint light flickering on the stone walls, as if it was hiding countless secrets waiting to be revealed. They carefully explored this unknown area, full of curiosity and expectation.

They left many wonderful memories in this familiar land, whether swimming in the hot spring villa or bravely exploring the cave, which became precious experiences in their lives.

In addition, Princess Qinghe also interacted with local residents and shared their cultural customs. Over time, Princess Qinghe established a deep friendship with the people of Huoyan Mountain and was loved and respected by everyone. However, only Chief of Staff Zhang knew her true identity - the extremely noble Princess!

It is also worth mentioning that the southern country of Nanyue has long mastered relatively advanced tea tree planting techniques, which have been passed down to this day with a long history. Princess Qinghe, who has extensive research experience in this area, also knows a thing or two about it, and can even be said to be proficient in the mysteries involved!

Princess Qinghe shared all the techniques and methods of tea planting in Nanyue with the residents of Huoyan Mountain without reservation. In the process, she was surprised to find that the residents of Huoyan Mountain had more theoretical knowledge about tea planting than she did. After some in-depth communication, she learned from the residents that this valuable knowledge came from the books given by Queen Mother Wen.

Princess Qinghe became more and more curious about Empress Dowager Wen, and secretly speculated in her heart: "The one who can impart such exquisite knowledge must have extraordinary wisdom and insight." At the same time, she also understood that Empress Dowager Wen must be very busy, and if she rashly went to pay a visit, she might disturb her and even bring unnecessary trouble to her. So, she decided to take a more appropriate approach - when she paid a visit to the Empress Dowager, she would also send a visiting card to Empress Dowager Wen.

In this way, she could express her respect to Queen Mother Wen without appearing too rash. In this way, Princess Qinghe hoped to make a name for herself in front of Queen Mother Wen and let her have a preliminary impression of her. Perhaps, there would be a chance to communicate further with this mysterious and wise Queen Mother Wen in the future! Thinking of this, Princess Qinghe could not help but be filled with joy, so there was the matter of the letter and visiting card mentioned above...

Wen Lanyue told the Empress Dowager Cixi in detail about Princess Qinghe so that she could have a general understanding of the princess.

When the Empress Dowager heard Princess Qinghe being called the "people-friendly princess," she couldn't help but sigh, "So this princess is kind-hearted, innocent, and should have no ill intentions."

Wen Lanyue responded: "Indeed, her purpose of coming here is purely to promote the exchange and learning of agricultural science and cooking skills. And as far as I know, she came to the capital without any political instructions from the Emperor of Nanyue."

The Empress Dowager continued, "In that case, I can treat her as a young junior."

Wen Lanyue nodded in agreement. She believed that such an attitude could not only demonstrate the demeanor of a great power, but also enhance the friendship between the two sides.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and asked softly, "Heng'er, you are almost eleven years old in the blink of an eye, which means you are thirteen years old! You are not young anymore... I wonder if we should consider a marriage for Heng'er?"

Wen Lanyue couldn't help but feel helpless when she heard this. She sighed secretly, thinking that she was born in the 21st century after all, and it was hard for her to agree with the traditional concept of marrying a child at the age of thirteen. However, in response to the Empress Dowager Cixi's question, she remained polite and humble, and replied: "Sister, you are Heng'er's biological mother. As for Heng'er's personal affairs, it is naturally up to you. Everything is up to you."

Although Wen Lanyue was somewhat speechless, she did not show any dissatisfaction on her face. She knew very well that in this era, the marriage of royal children often involved many political interests and family relationships, and was not simply determined by mutual affection. As a bystander, she seemed to have no choice but to try her best to adapt to and respect the rules here.

After hearing Wen Lanyue's words, the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I will have to think about it carefully! After all, this is a major matter that concerns Heng'er's lifelong happiness!" After that, a hint of thought flashed in her deep eyes, as if she had already begun to consider the candidate for her future daughter-in-law in her mind.
