Zombie travels through time and space to become the empress, who only wants to be a jerk and not att

Xiao Yuanshuang lowered her eyes.

The huge pearl hairpin on her head swayed with the carriage.

Of course she was not stupid. What the emperor said was just to paint a rosy picture for her, saying that she was as powerful as the empress Murong Yue, as if he would pass the throne to her.

But Murong Yue is an only child.

She has two older brothers.

If you want the throne, all your brothers must die.

But take your time, take your time.

Confused father is not good in other aspects, but what he said, that she is no worse than Murong Yue, is true, and she believes in herself.

If Murong Yue can be an empress, so can I.

Xiao Yuanshuang took a deep breath, smiled gently, tied the silk ribbon for Xiao Yuanche, and straightened the corners of his clothes. "Second brother, I heard that Murong Yue is very beautiful. Don't let her be seduced and forget your business when the time comes."

Xiao Yuanche snorted, "She's just a woman. Don't worry, I'll show my skills and make sure I can take her down when the time comes."

Xiao Yuanshuang hid the disgust in her eyes and said, "Well, don't worry, second brother. No matter how many good men there are in Qing Country, they are all respectful to Murong Yue."

"Second brother, you are so romantic and handsome, far superior to most men in Qing Kingdom."

"Come on, second brother, take down Murong Yue."

Humph.

Xiao Yuanche raised his head proudly, "Don't worry, if I marry the Queen of Qing, I will find you a husband in Qing."

"I heard that General Yan Qinghe of the Qing Kingdom is a brave and handsome man. If you can capture him, my sister, hahahaha——"

"Then Qing Kingdom will belong to the two of us."

Xiao Yuanche laughed wildly.

When mentioning General Yan Qinghe, a trace of longing flashed in Xiao Yuanshuang's eyes.

The diplomatic envoys came in a mighty procession, and in the evening they stopped at the south gate of the capital. The brother and sister were a little unhappy to see that there were only a few shabby officials to greet them.

Murong Anle smiled and said, "Second Prince, the accompanying troops can stay in the camp outside the capital. You and the others can enter the city with your entourage and guards."

Xiao Yuanche wrapped his clothes tightly around him. It was so cold that he felt like his head was going to freeze off.

Just as he was about to agree, Xiao Yuanshuang stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Murong, my brother and I are unfamiliar with this place. How many guards can we bring into the city?"

Murong Anle raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the third princess was much more cautious than the second prince.

"The maximum number of troops should not exceed fifty. As for the servants, it is recommended that you only bring your personal servants."

"You two will stay in the palace, and the accompanying officials will stay in the official inn."

Xiao Yuanche frowned and retorted on the spot, "Fifty people? What can fifty people do?"

Murong Anle said calmly, "Second Prince, fifty people are the army. Our Daqing Imperial City is very safe. I believe it is not your turn to mobilize the army yet."

"With too many troops, conflicts are more likely to arise."

"I still hope that you two will have a good time together in Daqing after coming all the way here."

Murong Anle's words were just a rejection.

What if you bring too many troops into the city for no reason and cause trouble? Or what if you are framed and detained?

"..." Xiao Yuanche couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.

Xiao Yuanshuang was still calm, "Of course we trust Qingguo and His Majesty, so let's go with 50 people. However, this is my first time traveling far away, and I can't leave the people around me..."

Murong Anle smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Of course, you can bring all the people you are used to."

Most of the Yue State delegation was left outside the city, and the garrison troops in the suburbs of Beijing had already prepared a place.

These soldiers coming from the south are really strange.

Everyone was freezing cold, but after getting used to the temperature here, they started wearing very thin clothes.

The garrison troops all wore cotton coats, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, three layers inside and three layers outside.

But the soldiers of Yue State kept shouting that they were freezing to death, but at the same time they refused to put on more clothes.

It seems that they are more resistant to cold than the locals in the imperial city.

As soon as they entered the military camp, Qi Yuan stood on the high platform and first expressed a warm welcome and then talked about a few rules.

"Both parties can spar, but only when it's enough. Intentional injury is prohibited."

"When you encounter civilians outside, you must put away your weapons and avoid them. If you clash with civilians without reason, you will be killed."

"If you come into conflict with the powerful nobles, come back to me."

what?

The soldiers of Yue State were all confused, and the first point was understandable.

What does the second one mean?

Does it mean that the common people have a higher status than the officers and soldiers?

What about the third one? How do you explain it? It means that if there is a conflict with the royal family, you can come to Qi Yuan to settle it?

I've heard that Qing State has many strange regulations.

It seems to be true!

What’s even more outrageous is yet to come.

After Qi Yuan’s speech, it was time for dinner.

The leader of the Yue State team was a general named Han Qi, a man in his thirties who had fought in wars and led troops. This was the first time he had seen this kind of eating pattern in all these years.

The dining area is not a tent or outdoors, but a bungalow.

He had been eating for so many years, but this was the first time he saw the army eating in a house.

The captain of the Qingguo squad accompanying him smiled and explained, "If it were a combat army, of course they would use tents, but this is the base."

"The Emperor and His Majesty have both said that we join the army to defend our country and it is an honor."

"Give us the best conditions within our capabilities."

The team leader was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and wore a rabbit fur hat on his head that covered his ears and chin tightly.

I feel particularly proud when talking about my own canteen.

Han Qi couldn't help but nodded. When it comes to winning people's hearts, the Qing Kingdom has some tricks up its sleeve.

After entering the cafeteria, there are rows of counter-like designs. Squad leaders and ordinary soldiers line up together, and it is impossible to tell who is superior or inferior.

The team leader picked up a square wooden pallet from the side, which had some partitions inside.

"General Han, we can eat whatever we want here."

I heard that Lord Murong from the Ministry of Rites had made special arrangements to give the Yue soldiers better food.

But Qi Yuan directly rejected it.

"Oh, with that money, wouldn't it be good to use it to give our own officers and soldiers extra meals?"

It was decided that when the Vietnamese soldiers arrived, they ate together with everyone and there was no plan to have their own special meals.

If you want to eat better, just spend money and go to a restaurant in the city. It would be great.

Han Qi looked at the tray in his hand again and again, feeling a little strange.

But then he looked at those who had already received their meals. The food in the trays was piled up like a small mountain. Soldiers have big appetites to begin with, but he didn't expect that they could eat as much as they wanted here.

When it was the team leader and Han Qi's turn, Han Qi finally figured out what was going on.

There was a row of counters with five wooden basins as big as bathtubs on them.

The first one is mixed rice, and it even has crystal rice in it.

The second one is cornmeal steamed bread.

Next came pork and sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, and pork and potatoes. The last big bucket contained egg soup.

At the end of the table there were several small basins filled with vinegar and pickles.

There is another pot, which is bright red, but I don’t know what it is.

The dishes are very simple, but they are all meat dishes and very oily, and the key is that the portions are large and plentiful.

"General Han, you must try this chili. This is an ingredient that our emperor specially found."

"It's called spicy. It goes really well with rice and is perfect for this cold winter."

The team leader directly scooped a spoonful of red peppers and piled them on Han Qi's tray.
