Nian Susu also shook his head. There were at least tens of thousands of people under the jurisdiction of Tianxuan Villa, not to mention the secret guards and death squads. A thousand people were too much of a waste for Xuanji.

Tayali was somewhat unwilling, and her golden eyes dimmed.

Nian Susu sent her to the post station and then returned to the prime minister's residence.

The next day, Nian Susu received a letter with a butterfly pattern on the letter paper. It was a letter from Tianxuan Villa. She thought it was a mystery, but she didn't expect it was the young man in purple.

His name is Jiu Yue, and he wrote to tell her that yesterday, under the supervision of him and three of his senior brothers, Nian Qiao Yue had finished watering the ten acres of vegetable fields.

What’s interesting is that after watering the second acre of land, Nian Qiaoyue was so tired that she accidentally fell into the manure pit when she went to fetch manure. It was Uncle Wang’s grandson who fished her out without any disgust. Nian Qiaoyue wanted to go back home to change clothes, but they wouldn’t let her. By the time Nian Qiaoyue finished watering the vegetable field, the manure on her body had already solidified and smelled terrible.

No wonder there was such a big commotion in the West Wing last night. Nian Susu couldn’t stop laughing just by reading the words on the paper. He couldn’t imagine how funny the scene was.

She regretted not going with them.

Zhihua hurriedly ran in, turned her head left and right, and found the young lady lying on the soft couch in the inner room, smiling from ear to ear. She cried "Aiya" and pulled her up, "Young lady, hurry up, go to the front hall to receive the order!"

When Nian Susu heard the words "receive the imperial order", he was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. He hurriedly put on his shoes and rushed over with Zhihua.

Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong were already waiting, and Nian Qiaoyue was also there, just waiting for Nian Susu.

The one who came to deliver the imperial eunuch was a capable eunuch beside the emperor. The whole family knelt down in fear to receive the imperial edict, except for Nian Chengyun. He was not nervous at all. Instead, he seemed to know the content of the imperial edict in advance and was a little worried.

The eunuch cleared his throat, unfolded a piece of holy book, and began to read in a shrill voice.

Nian Susu listened with trepidation and took the imperial edict tremblingly.

Tomorrow, Tayali will set off for her country. The emperor asks her, the crown prince, and Prince Qing to send Liuli's books, silk, porcelain and other items back to Xisu along with the princess's ceremonial guard to show the good relations between the two countries.

Nian Susu held the imperial edict in both hands, as if he was holding a hot potato.

Tayali did invite me to visit Xisu Country, and she did agree perfunctorily, but she never said it would be in this way!

The transportation of diplomatic materials could be a big deal or a small matter. If there were any problems with the goods on the way, it would damage the friendship between the two countries and cause big trouble. The other two were princes, and she was just a lady in the boudoir. If the emperor wanted to punish her, she would definitely be the one to be pushed out to take the blame.

After Nian Chengyun sent away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, he looked solemn and called Nian Susu to his study for questioning.

"Dad, what is going on?" Nian Susu asked impatiently.

Why did Tayali suddenly want to return home? Why did Liuli send gifts to Xisu? And why did she send her and two princes to escort him? This didn't sound reasonable at all.

Nian Chengyun frowned and exhaled, "I just came out of the palace. According to the emperor's intention, he wanted to establish a friendly cooperative relationship with Xisu, and the princess came to the palace to mention the purpose of Xisu sending her to Liuli."

"Xi Su also wants peaceful relations?" Nian Su Su could figure it out with just his toes.

"Yes." Nian Chengyun nodded. "Xisu promised to control the northwest to ensure the security of our border, and to pay tribute of war horses, cattle, sheep and weapons every year. In return, Liuli will also give them books, silk, medicinal materials and porcelain."

He sat in the armchair, leaned forward, and added: "The emperor originally sent only the crown prince to escort the supplies, and the queen suggested that Prince Qing go with him for training, and the princess specifically asked you to go with her, so in the end it became the three of you."

Nian Susu suddenly realized what was going on.

In this case, the person in charge is Qin Junyu, and she is just an accompanying person. If any problems arise, it should not be her fault, right?

Seeing her relieved, Nian Chengyun could not help but remind her, "Although you are just an attendant, you must be cautious in everything you do. Don't anger the princess, and don't offend the Crown Prince and Prince Qing."

Then he told her to take good care of herself and let her go.

When Nian Susu returned to the east wing, Yang Yuerong was standing in front of the wardrobe giving instructions.

"It's autumn now, and it's still chilly in Shengjing, not to mention the bitterly cold places outside the Great Wall like Xisu. You should bring more thick coats, fox furs, and cloaks, as well as thick cotton underwear to wear next to your body..."

Zhihua did not follow instructions and kept taking out clothes from the closet one by one, while the other little girls were responsible for folding the clothes and packing them up.

Nian Susu walked up and tugged at Yang Yuerong's arm, "Mom, I'm just delivering the things and will be back soon. The round trip will only take a month, so there's no need to bring so many thick clothes."

Yang Yuerong slapped her hand away and said, "Don't make trouble. Just bring it if you need to. Don't complain about the trouble. You will feel bad if it gets cold.

Nian Susu couldn't stop him or persuade him, so he just went into the inner room to sleep.

……

The princess's guard of honor and a dozen wooden boxes filled with supplies blocked Suzaku Street.

Some people came out to watch the excitement. There was a crowd of people, and they all craned their necks to see what was going on.

The carriage carrying people was parked outside the city in advance.

Tayari took Nian Susu's hand, said a few words and got into her carriage.

Qin Junyu and Nian Susu are still waiting for Qin Fengtian.

"Is he still going? He's already a quarter of an hour late." Nian Susu put his hands on his hips, glanced at the sun above, and became impatient.

Qin Junyu looked at Suzaku Street and frowned slightly, "He always procrastinates."

It turns out I've gotten used to it, no wonder I don't have any complaints.

Just as the two finished complaining, Qin Fengtian arrived, with four servants behind him sweating profusely and carrying a large wooden box with difficulty.

"If someone doesn't know, they would think you were moving." Nian Susu complained.

Qin Fengtian snorted coldly, ignored him, and ordered someone to stuff the large wooden box into the large carriage.

This was prepared for the three of them to ride together, and there was also a smaller carriage as a backup.

Qin Fengtian stuffed the big box inside, taking up most of the space, so Nian Susu and Qin Junyu couldn't get in at all.

Qin Fengtian got on the carriage happily, lifted the curtain and prepared to go in, then turned back and said to the two of them: "This carriage can only accommodate me and my baby, you two go take that carriage." He pointed to the simple little carriage next to him with his eyes.

"Hmph! Why does he have the right to occupy a carriage alone?" Nian Susu was dissatisfied and kicked a stone in the direction of the carriage.

Qin Junyu curled the corner of his mouth, maybe it’s not just one person.

Because of Qin Fengtian, they had been delayed long enough, so as soon as everyone gathered, the convoy set off immediately and headed west.

The people in the city curiously watched the huge team leave the city, then looked away and continued to work numbly.

This time when he went out, Nian Susu brought Jingzhe with him but not Zhihua. One reason was because Jingzhe knew martial arts and could protect her, and the other was that Zhihua was a little girl and Nian Susu was afraid that she would suffer on the road, so he asked her to look after the house.

Qin Junyu was still surrounded by the unshakable A Falcon.
