The heroine vs. the little white rabbit, I'm a little bit obsessed with you two!

Su Mohui looked at her increasingly bright eyes, as if he had discovered her little thoughts. He stretched out a finger and poked her forehead. The latter shrank her head, giggled, and ran out to talk to the maid in the house, leaving them two space to be alone.

"It's like you two had an appointment." Zhan Qing pulled Su Mohui to sit down again, pointing to a pile of New Year's goods on the chest of drawers, "This is sent by Qi Mo and Shen Jiaan. They just left an hour ago, and you're here..."

Mentioning Qi Mo and Shen Jiaan, Su Mohui's face became a little unnatural. She hadn't even seen them yet. Fortunately, she hadn't run into them. They didn't even realize she was a girl...

Having said that, she was also thinking that she might as well tell them about this during the New Year, so as to avoid any awkward situation in the future and having to explain it later.

Su Mohui thought so and talked about this with Zhan Qing.

The latter's face was ablaze with gossip. She was a little curious about how Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an would react when they saw Su Mohui in women's clothing...

It was a rare day that she had nothing to do, so Su Mohui was not in a hurry to go home. Compared to going home and seeing Li Qiuyue in a proud mood, she was still very happy to stay with Zhan Qing.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the two of them discussed it. Zhan Qing quickly changed back into his old clothes, pulled Su Mohui to roll up his sleeves and prepare to cook a big meal. Huiyue and another little girl helped.

They were all good cooks, and in just half an hour, the table was already covered with delicious dishes.

Su Mohui took out a few red envelopes and gave them out, and gave a big one to Zhan Qing alone. After he finished giving out money, he started eating.

As the glasses clinked, several girls were toasting each other, eating and chatting, and laughter could be heard from the room from time to time.

However, just as they finished their meal, someone came.

"咚咚-"

Tao Yi, Zhan Qing's little girl, went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a servant hurried to the front of the hall, "Miss, please return home quickly. The Emperor just issued an order to send you new clothes as a gift, and specifically asked you to accompany the master to attend the court tomorrow."

Hearing this, Su Mohui's mouth twitched. She looked at Zhan Qing, but before she could say anything, Zhan Qing pulled her up.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Family matters are more important." Zhan Qing said, and did not forget to pull down the coat hanging beside her and put it on Su Mohui. She lowered her eyes, tied a beautiful bow, and then spoke again.

"Go ahead, the court meeting is tomorrow. I'll come find you on the fourth day of the New Year~~"

Su Mohui patted her hand, gave her a reassuring look, and then left with Huiyue and the servant.

Zhan Qing looked at the two people leaving, sighed slightly, stared at the door for a short while, then turned around and cleaned the table with Tao Yi.

Su family.

The eunuch who announced the decree had not left yet and was chatting politely with Su Wei in the front hall. When he saw Su Mohui coming back from outside, he stood up swiftly, smoothed out the wrinkles on the corners of his clothes, and bowed slightly.

"This must be Miss Su, she is so pretty. General Su is so lucky." The voice was better than the duck voices in those costume TV dramas, but it was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Su Yue and Su Wei also stood up and spoke Mandarin with a smile.

"You're too polite, sir." Su Mohui also responded with a false courtesy, looking around quickly, waiting for the other party to continue.

The eunuch in front of him was wearing an official hat with a gold-top embroidered lettering, a dark blue jacket, a crimson-purple palace robe, a belt with a few jewels, green long boots on his feet, and a long whisk in his hand. He looked very formal.

With her little knowledge of history, Su Mohui could fully realize that the configurations decorated by the eunuch in front of her were of the highest level, and she was worthy of being the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

"Nothing else matters. Please come to the court meeting tomorrow, General Su," he said in an official tone, glancing at Su Mohui again, his eyes rolling around, "I'll be leaving first. General, please stay. I still need to inform the others~"

After saying this, he turned around, pulling up his loose palace robes, and left with a group of attendants.

Speaking of which, the original owner, Su Mohui, had only participated in a few court meetings when she was a child. After all, she was the child of the goddess of war and the great general who guarded the country, so it was normal for the emperor to have some little thoughts.

However, ever since Su Yue married Li Qiuyue as his second wife, there has been no news of her entering the palace again.

Could it be that the Emperor calculated his age and noticed that she had entered the Imperial Capital Academy, so he wanted to take another look?

Su Mohui didn't know, but Su Yue and Su Wei had started to think about it. Su Mohui would be thirteen after the New Year, and according to the old-fashioned rules of the Luoshen Empire, they could get engaged in advance.

Although she is still two years away from her coming of age (fifteen), it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Emperor to arrange a marriage for the sake of stability in the court...

Although the Luoshen Empire has old-fashioned rules, there is an unwritten rule: the daughters of high-ranking officials can be engaged in advance when they are over thirteen, but they still need to wait two years after the age of coming of age before they can get married, that is, they can only officially get married when they are seventeen years old. Moreover, the marriage must be completed for a year and they must get along well with their in-laws before they can prepare for pregnancy.

In this way, even if the emperor grants a marriage, if the man does not respect himself before marriage and behaves inappropriately, the woman's family can appeal to cancel the marriage.

Firstly, in order to stabilize the government, the Emperor would at least prevent the two powerful families from marrying each other, and at the same time use time to screen out some scum.

Secondly, it is to prevent these girls from misjudging people, and also for the sake of their health, they can only get married when they are 17 years old and can only prepare for pregnancy when they are 18 years old.

Thinking about it this way, even if the emperor really grants Su Mohui a marriage contract at the court meeting tomorrow, it won’t be a big deal.

Su Wei briefly explained these rules to Su Mohui, who nodded. She had lived here for almost a year and had also discovered the code of conduct of the Luoshen Empire.

Although there are still some ideas that men are the masters of everything, they never suppress women, nor do they exclude women from being officials or doing business. There are also laws specially tailored for women, giving them enough fairness as women.

They never misinterpret the meaning of "respect" and "inferiority" in the concept of male superiority and female inferiority: male superiority means being fair and selfless, and striving for self-improvement; female inferiority means being humble, kind, and virtuous.

This point was written at the very beginning in the book "The Luoshen Empire" that Su Mohui checked when she first came here.

Su Yue thought about tomorrow's court meeting and arranged a nun to teach Su Mohui etiquette. "Get familiar with the palace rules. Although your father doesn't want you to be married, you still can't break the rules..."

Su Mohui also understood what he meant. These were inevitable under imperial rule.

Su Wei and Su Yue pulled her aside and talked to her for a few more words before letting her go back.

After returning to her own courtyard, the old nanny who had been following behind her without saying a word finally spoke her first words.
