Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

Many people yawned as they went to the morning court.

Miss Xia is no exception.

When I left the house, I took a few gulps of a refreshing drink, and in the midst of regret and pain, I imagined that I must not stay up late tonight and must get enough sleep for ten hours.

I haven't been taking good care of myself lately.

It's really unhealthy.

Turning right, I found a breakfast shop. I ate a basket of small meat buns and a plate of fried salt and pepper river shrimps, then went to work happily.

As she walked, she wondered, who would wash her clothes, sweep the floor, run errands, and buy her midnight snacks without Lei Huo?

"Morning, Master Yang!"

"Morning, Miss Xia!"

The first few people who came to Huai'an lived on the same street. Young Master Yang lived in the same courtyard with the two of them, and they lived in the alley next to them with their baggage and the informants.

Now that Huai'an was done, everyone started packing up their belongings from this alley, including Young Master Yang.

Carriages were parked on the roadside, and the accompanying personnel were carrying things out one by one.

"Let's go, together. It's time to go to court." Xia Shi said.

"No, I'm waiting here today just to say goodbye to you, sir." Young Master Yang said.

"Farewell?" Xia Shi asked in surprise, "Weren't you given an official position yesterday?"

During this trip to Huai'an, everyone was promoted, even Young Master Yang, who had no official position, was granted an official position. Everyone was very happy.

So: "Master Yang is not going to court, is he on an errand?"

Young Master Yang said, "No, young lady, please don't call me Sir, cough cough cough... I am used to being an idle wanderer, I don't want to be an official, I still plan to return to my hometown to farm and study."

Xia Shi: "Isn't farming and studying for the purpose of taking the imperial examination? Isn't taking the imperial examination for the purpose of becoming an official? You have already become an official, why do you want to return to your hometown to farm and study?"

"That's not the case." Young Master Yang smiled and turned around.

He left the North for one person, and returned to the North for one person. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, it is time to return to his own mountains and forests.

"What is it like?" asked Miss Xia, who was so curious that she couldn't sleep otherwise she would get to the bottom of it.

"I once thought that I must see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regain the world and ascend the throne." For her words before her death to protect the Sixth Master, he could lose everything. "But when I saw the girl take action a few days ago, I knew that there was no suspense in this world anymore. It's time for me to leave and return to my hometown."

Miss Xia: "I see, Master Yang reads because he enjoys it. Everyone has their own aspirations. You are a true book lover. Let's discuss academic matters together when we have time."

"it is good!"

"I'll give it to you."

"It's going to be late for court."

"It's okay. I'll tell you a secret. Your Highness has never deducted my salary for being late, hehe (? ?? ?)?!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

The two went to the dock together, watched the things on the carriage being loaded onto the ship, and then waved goodbye.

The canal transport has started.

The river is bustling with merchant ships coming and going.

Young Master Yang's pleasure boat also slowly moved northward along with the flow of ships.

Miss Xia jumped at the dock and shouted, "Hey, the boat is going the wrong way."

Young Master Yang waved his hand and shouted, "No rebellion!" The North is both his hometown and her hometown.

He left when the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was prosperous.

When there was only a lonely grave by the river outside the palace, he wanted to go back.

From now on, I won’t leave.

This time, there was nothing I could do if she disagreed.

She couldn't drive him away.

He was dependent on her.

"You are sub-healthy, why are you running to a place where the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero? It's a waste of medicine..."

"See you later, take care, girl!"

The wind blew away the conversation between the two people, and I couldn't hear the last sentence clearly.

Both of them, with a lot on their mind, ran towards their own lives.

Miss Xia: "I'm late, late, late..."

……

"It's too late, too late..."

"If we don't start the war now, it will be too late..."

"Has your Highness thought about it?"

In the back garden of the Mu family's villa, in Cangwu County, in the thirteen states of the Southern Region, where flowers are in full bloom,

The handsome man held a half-dish of icing sugar and used a small silver spoon to scrape it into a pottery pot on a small red clay stove. When the snow-white icing sugar turned reddish brown, he broke up the aged tea cakes bit by bit, pinched a handful and put it in the pottery pot to continue frying.

The counselor advised: "Your Highness, the world is in turmoil now, and the Prime Minister controls Zhongzhou from more than 30 passes in Kyoto..."

After the tea was cooked, Lou Junji put fresh milk in and waited for it to boil.

The guest official advised: "The informant reported that Lou Junze has already captured Huai'an and now has 200,000 soldiers and horses. I'm afraid he will march south soon..."

The milk slowly boiled, and Lou Junji found a celadon bowl to put it in. He asked the little girl eating cakes beside him in a soft voice: "Is this what you call milk tea?"

Little girl: "Yes, A-Zu cooked it for me."

Lou Junji: "Okay, let's try it after it's warmed down."

Little girl: "Thank you, big brother!"

Lou Junji: "What's your name? Do you remember?"

The little girl's eyes rolled around, and she pursed her lips and said, "I don't remember."

Children's worries are written on their faces, how could adults not see it? But other people didn't care, Lou Junji couldn't bear to blame her, and smiled and said to her: "It doesn't matter, I will remember it eventually."

The staff advised: "Your Highness, a few days ago we received a letter from Yan Yun, willing to join forces with the Southern Territory to attack Kyoto..."

Staff member B: "I heard that they sent letters to the North. Who would believe this?"

Staff member C: "...I heard that a goddess has descended to the North, and her guards are extremely powerful, and Lou Junze is also known as the crown prince..."

Staff member Ding: "So what? We have the late emperor's will. We just need to take it back to Kyoto and announce it to the world. Who is the legitimate one? Besides, the goddess is just a trick to bluff people..."

The retainer said: "If there are no miracles in the world, then how did these 108 passes come about?"

At this point, everyone looked at Lou Junji.

Mu Yanzhi, the third son of the general of the thirteen states in the Southern Region, said: "Everyone knows that Your Highness is the heir to the throne chosen by the late emperor. I dare to ask Your Highness, do you know how to break through the pass?"

Lou Junji picked up the warm milk and fed the little girl a mouthful. The child pouted and said, "It's bitter!"

Lou Junji quickly picked up a candied fruit and put it in the little girl's mouth, apologetically saying, "Well, that should be because of the fire. Next time, brother will stir-fry it gently."

Little girl: "Okay!"

He took a clean new ceramic pot, put half a plate of icing sugar into the pot, and slowly fried it.

His Highness Ji was not good at making tea. The third son of the Mu family, Mu Yanzhi, who was good at tasting tea, just looked at him respectfully without reminding him of the key to making tea. The staff and guests were all thinking about how to get to Kyoto.

There were less than ten people in the garden, and they all had seven or eight different thoughts.

Only when the fresh milk was put back into the pot did Lou Junji look up at everyone and said indifferently, "I don't know!"

Mu Yanzhi: "It's okay. Everything depends on human effort. The pass is guarded by people. If you can get the token, it's okay."

"..."

"But although Huai'an now has Yanyun in the east and Zhongzhou in the south, the Gu family army is still unstoppable. If Your Highness wants to take back the world, it's better to take back Kyoto before Lou Junze..."

"..."

"Your Highness, my father promised that all the soldiers and horses in the thirteen states of the Southern Territory will swear allegiance to Your Highness until death."

"..."

"Please grant permission, Your Highness, to dispatch the troops immediately."

"..."

"Your Highness, if we don't send troops now, it will be too late."

"..."

How urgent can it be? Is it urgent to have afternoon tea with children?

Everyone in the garden knelt down. Lou Junji put down the candied fruit in his hand and boiled the milk tea again. He said it was still not tasty, and then he said slowly:

"Then send out the troops!"

The crowd retreated in haste.

The imperial edict to suppress the rebels was announced to the whole world.

The thirteen states in the southern region began to mobilize their troops.

Lou Junji was still sitting in the garden, frowning as he studied milk tea.

The little girl had fallen asleep. Fortunately, it was not cold in Wuzhou at noon. He ordered the maid to bring a quilt and put the child in the rocking chair under the corridor for a nap.

He held a round fan in his hand and waved it to drive away mosquitoes.

The milk tea on the table was steaming and had a sweet smell.

A rare quiet afternoon.

"Your Highness, Lord Wu has something important to report."

"Hush!" Lou Junji put his finger on his lips to gently stop the boy's impetuosity and said softly:

"Speak softly and let someone in!"

A fifty-year-old staff member with a flowery beard was brought in and reported with a happy face: "Your Highness, good news, the imperial concubine has been found..."

Bang!

Before Mr. Wu, the staff member, could finish his words, Lou Junji overturned the marble tea table, and the boiling milk tea and the ceramic stove with charcoal rolled all over the floor. The charcoal fell on his legs, but he didn't feel it at all. With red eyes, he shouted:

"roll!"

"Let them go!"

"Tell them all to get out of here!"

He didn't want to recount the hatred and resentment of how he was betrayed by his closest relatives, how the dynasty was overthrown, and how the entire royal family was slaughtered.

Now he only has revenge in his mind.

There is someone he can't kill, can't hate, can't forgive, and never wants to see again!

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, although the Imperial Concubine has never been crowned as the Empress, the late Emperor trusted her greatly when he was alive. If you can have her by your side, your chances of success will be half as good as before, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, you are the king. You must put state affairs first. You must not act on impulse, Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, the plan for now is..."

Lou Junji picked up the charcoal on the ground and threw it at everyone: "Get lost!"

"I told you all to get out..."

"Get out! Can't you hear me? Can't you hear what I'm saying? Get out of here..."

"..."

"Wow!……!"

It was not until the clear cry of a child was heard that the little girl was frightened in her sleep. After being stunned for a long while, she burst into tears. Only then did Lou Junji come back to his senses.

He turned around and wiped the dust off his hands, carefully picked up the child, and apologized softly:

"sorry!"

"It's all Big Brother's fault."

"Did I scare you? I won't do it again next time. I promise you, I won't do it again next time..."

……

"If you are two hours late, you will be fined three days' salary!"

Miss Xia assured me that these were the coldest words she had heard today.

After sending Young Master Yang off today, she started jogging all the way to court.
