"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict that my subject Jiang Yichun has made meritorious service in suppressing bandits and has loyally protected the Lord. He has been specially named as the General of the Palace of the Jinwu Guard. His wife is dignified and virtuous. She has made meritorious contributions to the imperial hospital and has been granted the rank of fifth rank. I admire this!" the eunuch said! After reciting the imperial edict in a spy's voice, Jiang Yichun accepted it, and Bai Ruozhu hurriedly asked Lamei to hand a purse to the eunuch who announced the edict.

The eunuch left with satisfaction, but Bai Ruozhu's face darkened.

"Does this mean you want to stay in the capital?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Jiang Yichun coughed dryly, pulled Bai Ruozhu into the house, and said, "I will ask the emperor for an order to be transferred to Beiyu City later."

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and her face became less gloomy. She thought for a while and then said: "Anyway, I will stay for another month at most. If you can't go back, I will take the child back by myself. My family is still waiting for me." Woolen cloth."

Jiang Yichun quickly hugged her waist and said, "I know, I will convince the emperor as soon as possible."

"Is General Jinwu Wei Zhonglang a member of the fifth rank?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Jiang Yichun nodded, "Yes."

Bai Ruozhu also nodded. Sure enough, her imperial edict could not be higher than his.

"I didn't expect that the emperor would mention my meritorious advice. Aren't he afraid that others would find out that I contributed the suture technique?" Bai Ruozhu asked, raising her eyebrows.

"There is a record at the Taiyuan Hospital saying that you contributed a prescription for beautifying the face, which is very popular with the Queen Mother. This can be deceived by others. You were directly awarded by the imperial edict, and you are still a meritorious person. Even the Secretary of General Affairs cannot treat you at will. It's your fault." Jiang Yichun narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke.

"What if your master finds out about that and kills you?" Bai Ruozhu asked, staring into his eyes.

"I owe Master, but it doesn't mean I owe Wu Wanqing. She has repeatedly harmed our family of three. Even according to the law, she should be beheaded. I am not wrong. Even if Master knows about it and wants to settle the account with me, I will not I won't sit still and wait for death." Jiang Yichun said seriously.

Bai Ruozhu smiled at him after hearing this, "It's better if you don't lose your mind."

In the afternoon, the palace issued another decree from the Queen Mother, announcing that Bai Ruozhu would come to the palace.

Bai Ruozhu accepted the order and followed the eunuch who led the way into the palace. Jiang Yichun knew that the Queen Mother was on their side, so he didn't worry and stayed at home with the child.

Although Dengdeng is in good health now, she has some red rashes on her head and face, which makes people feel really distressed. Moreover, it was because of him that Deng Deng was like this, so Jiang Yichun felt very guilty about his son, so much so that he almost didn't hold his son in his arms every day.

Bai Ruozhu went to Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother. Sure enough, the Queen Mother asked her what she thought about the format of the birthday banquet.

"Back to the Queen Mother, if it is a buffet, I suggest setting up a water platform by the lake and singing and dancing performances on the water platform. Of course, more attention should be paid to safety. The tables for the banquet are still arranged as before, but there are The buffet is convenient for guests to help themselves." Bai Ruozhu said slowly.

"In this way, guests can not only take meals and chat freely, but also watch the singing and dancing on the water platform, which will be more interesting. In addition, ordinary singing and dancing are arranged on the water platform. If it is performed by the ladies of the palace, it will be recorded In the middle of the table, it is convenient for you, Queen Mother, to watch it up close."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You have to take care of the feelings of the ladies in the palace."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh, "It's also convenient for you to appreciate the beauty."

"Your idea of ​​the water platform is good. The lake at the Imperial Garden is not very deep. Safety is not an issue. I just wonder if the scene will be too chaotic." The Queen Mother said with some worry.

"I'm also afraid that they will be too reserved when they see you and the emperor here, so I plan to arrange some palace maids to deliver meals to some people regularly." Bai Ruozhu said.

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't enter the palace often. If you have attended the banquets in the palace, you will know that our Danliang country does not pay too much attention to rules. Those ministers and ladies often make trouble for me. I have a headache. Last time I got into a fight over who should perform first. It was really dumbfounding."

"Huh?" Bai Ruozhu was dumbfounded. She had watched a lot of costume dramas and ancient novels in her previous life, but she had never seen such a casual dynasty. The Danliang Kingdom was really a fortress.

"Then, otherwise let everyone go to the water platform to perform, so that you can have some peace and quiet, Queen Mother." Bai Ruozhu said.

"So I said you have a good idea for the water platform, so you will do it when the time comes." The Queen Mother said with satisfaction, and then took an agate bracelet from her hand to give to Bai Ruozhu, "You have white skin. This red onyx bracelet will definitely look good on you.”

Bai Ruozhu thanked her generously and put the bracelet given by the Queen Mother on her wrist. Seeing her generosity and straightforwardness, the Queen Mother looked at her with a little satisfaction.

After coming out of the palace, Bai Ruozhu went home and discussed with Jiang Yichun that they would definitely give something to the Queen Mother for her birthday, but what should they give?

"I'll ask someone to collect some treasures from the West." Jiang Yichun thought for a while and said.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She thought about her pocket watch that she was reluctant to wear on weekdays. It was a Western gadget, and Jiang Yichun had to borrow money to buy it.

"No matter how precious it is, it can't be worth the treasures in the palace. Otherwise, we should still put our hearts first. I'll draw a bed curtain for the Queen Mother." Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said.

Jiang Yichun thought it was good, but he pulled her hand a little distressed and said, "I'm just going to have to work hard for you."

"It's okay, I still have wintersweet to help me." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

…

In Beiyu City, Xiaosi stood in the main room and said to Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er: "Father, mother, I worshiped a master today. He is an elder of the Huashan Sect. He said that I am a good material for practicing martial arts. I want to Take me back to the sect to practice martial arts well."

"What?" Bai Yihong jumped up. He was the most opposed to Xiao Si's martial arts practice.

Lin Ping'er also became worried, "Why haven't I heard you mention it? Where did the Huashan sect elder come from? What is his name? Is it reliable?"

"He is indeed an elder of the Huashan Sect. His Taoist name is Xuanjizi. He has the token of the Huashan Sect on his body. He is a kind-hearted elder." Xiao Si said with a proud look on his face. It was obvious that he respected the master he spoke of very much.

"Then you can't just follow others to learn martial arts. You don't want to study anymore? How do you explain it to your sister?" Bai Yihong asked angrily.

Xiaosi lowered his head and suddenly knelt on the ground, "Father, mother, I know I am unfilial. When I succeed in my studies, I will definitely come back to fulfill my filial piety. I have already sent a letter to Sister Ruozhu, asking her The people from the Chamber of Commerce sent it to Beijing, and she said before that she would respect my choice."

Bai Yihong jumped up angrily, "Your sister said that when you grow up and want to practice martial arts, she will let you choose by yourself, but you are only seven years old! You haven't even read well, so you go to practice martial arts. In the future, you What should I do? Do you want to be an illiterate martial artist?"
