Jingxue truly amazed everyone today; even the retired emperor of Yue'an Palace found out immediately.

After listening to Jin Shiliu's report, the Emperor Emeritus finally smiled. "I knew that girl was capable, dazzling the people of Cangbei. Xiao Xi, just you wait and see! Cangbei will definitely submit to my Bei Ye."

It was rare to see the Emperor Emeritus so happy, so Eunuch Xi immediately said, "Yes! Princess Consort Zhan is a good woman. She is not coy or pretentious, she is decisive and efficient, and she is also very generous and kind."

The Emperor Emeritus glanced at Eunuch Xi, and although he didn't say anything, he agreed in his heart.

He sent Jin Yi to find Doctor Baili to return to the capital so that he could examine Ye Muchen's health and cure him if he was ill. That way, the third son and his wife could have a child sooner, and Jingxue would feel at ease.

Mothers value their children highly, and they will stay for their children's sake.

If that still doesn't work, then we need to consider whether to release Jing Zhiyuan. In any case, we must keep Jing Xue's heart.

The retired emperor thought he would have to talk to the emperor about it when he had time.

Li Huan and Li Qianqian returned to the mansion and saw Madam Che and Madam Sun chatting.

"Mother is resting? Why aren't you all resting?" Li Huan handed his outer cloak to his attendants.

When Madam Che saw them return, she quickly ordered someone to prepare hot water. "How was it? You didn't enjoy the palace banquet. Should we prepare some late-night snacks for you and your daughter?"

Li Qianqian was still a little excited and said with a smile, "Now that you ask, I really am a little hungry!"

Madam Sun immediately said to the maid beside her, "Furong, go and prepare some late-night snacks for the Third Miss and the Master!"

The maid responded and left.

"Sister-in-law, look how promising our Qianqian is! She was chosen to receive the delegation as soon as she arrived in the capital," Madam Sun said with a smile.

Li Qianqian said shyly, "Oh, Second Aunt, what am I? There are plenty of outstanding noble ladies in the capital. If we're talking about outstanding, my cousin is the most outstanding. She stunned the Cangbei delegation tonight."

Madam Che and Madam Sun looked at each other, and Madam Che asked, "Your cousin? What did your cousin do tonight?"

Li Huan took the hot water brought by the servant, drank a sip, and looked at his youngest daughter with a smile.

"Mother, Second Aunt, tonight's reception banquet is just a talent show by both sides. It's nothing special, but that prince from Cangbei insists that my cousin also perform. My cousin's husband wanted to refuse, but if he did, Cangbei would definitely laugh at us."

Madam Che and Madam Sun nodded, "Of course!"

"But guess how my cousin did it?" Li Qianqian asked with a smile.

"Oh! You silly girl, how would we know?" Madam Che said reproachfully.

Madam Sun's impression of Jingxue was so-so. Two days ago, when Li Qianqian came back and talked about falling down, she complained that Jingxue hadn't taken good care of Qianqian, which made Old Madam Li quite dissatisfied.

"My cousin held a glass of wine and performed a set of drunken boxing. It was drunken boxing. I heard a military officer next to me say that it was drunken boxing and very powerful. My cousin didn't spill any wine after she finished the performance. She even toasted with the Prince of Cangbei at the end!"

Madam Che, who was unfamiliar with martial arts and couldn't grasp the atmosphere of the scene, turned to Li Huan and asked, "Husband, is it really as Qianqian said? Did the Emperor blame Jingxue for not being reserved?"

Li Huan put down his water glass. "You're really being a woman. It's a matter of face. Their princess personally sang and danced, so what's wrong with us? The Emperor and Empress Dowager were all smiles."

Hearing her husband's words, Madam Che breathed a sigh of relief. "You know, my eldest sister is quite capable, raising Xue'er so well. Our three daughters can't compare to her."

"Why compare these things? Aren't our daughters all doing well? Now Xing'er is with the Prince, isn't that good?" Li Huan said.

“But we’re going back to Qingzhou after the New Year, and I’m still worried about Xing’er.”

"Oh, Mother, are you going to keep my brother by your side forever? My cousin said he needs to grow and experience. Well, I'm starving, why isn't the midnight snack ready yet?"

Li Qianqian quickly changed the subject, afraid that she might accidentally reveal her brother's affairs, especially since her cousin's behavior at Jingren Palace that day was even more astonishing.

I can't tell anyone, no matter how powerful my cousin is.

In fact, while the powerful and influential people in the capital were surprised by Jingxue's performance tonight, they were not shocked. In their minds, Jingxue had already made a name for herself in one battle.

Jingxue couldn't care less about what others thought. When she and Runyue returned to Yichun Palace, Xiaoman and Liqiu had indeed prepared a midnight snack for them.

I haven't eaten anything during the leap month!

After handing the little girl over to Liqiu, she asked Xiaoman to remove her makeup and give her a bath.

When she returned, she noticed that there were more guards from Cangbei outside Yichun Palace.

There's nothing we can do; we're hostages after all!

While taking a bath, Jingxue released her supernatural abilities. The three main figures from Cangbei were drinking tea in Jingyang Palace, but Jingxue couldn't understand what they were saying.

Wanyan Junhao was arguing with his father-in-law with his neck stiff, while Wanyan Junhui next to him was holding a teacup, seemingly lost in thought.

If you don't understand, then don't listen anymore. After drying her hair, Jingxue told Xiaoman to go and rest.

Once inside the space, Jingxue continued to ponder the matter of building a house. Upon entering the online store, she discovered that there were many new products available.

Surprisingly, quite a few glass items appeared this time, including cups, jars, and decorative objects.

Now that there's more space, there's finally a place to store the gold and silver we collected from those old guys' mansions.

Jingxue even found a balance bike! All of these things appeared today. It turns out that good things can appear so easily in the palace. I wish I could get her a three-wheeled motorcycle sometime!

If you don't have four wheels, give her a three-wheeled one first!

The next day, after breakfast, the sun came out.

Jingxue took Runyue to the yard and taught her how to ride a balance bike. It's simple; you can control forward and backward movement with your body, and it can reach a speed of sixteen kilometers per hour.

The only problem is the road to the village; it's either a dirt road or a road leading to the capital. Otherwise, it would only take half an hour to get there by scooter.

Thinking of this, Jingxue actually had the idea of ​​building a road. Anyway, she was growing vegetables and building workshops on the estate, so if the road was better, it would save her time.

It seems this is also part of next year's plan.

That evening, the Imperial Guards came to inform us that the delegation would be going out to inspect the streets the next day.

Jingxue guessed that Ye Muchen and Qin Jing would definitely have to do some preparatory work tonight, which was not her concern.

Since it was a trip to the streets, Jingxue didn't wear any elaborate clothes the next day. Xiaoman said early in the morning that it was the ninth day of the lunar month and she and Liqiu were going to Fengqi Palace.

Jingxue then realized that yesterday was Laba Festival.

Just as they finished getting ready, the Imperial Guards outside came to report that the delegation was already waiting at the door.

Jingxue and Xiaoman and Liqiu went out and then realized that Runyue had not followed.

"That kid probably went to get his balance bike!" Jingxue said with a smile.

“Miss, if you don’t want her to step on it, I’ll go tell her.” Xiaoman said, handing the makeup box in her hand to Liqiu.

"Forget it! Let her carry it if she likes to! She knows the rules. She didn't have enough fun playing in the yard yesterday, and the little girl still wants more," Jingxue said, waving her hand.

"Oh!"

As the two were talking, sure enough, Leap Moon stepped out of the courtyard gate with one hand holding the balance bike.
