Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore
Chapter 621
Lu Wanqing has made public the news of Lu Man's death, so now Hua Manman no longer needs to wear the vest of Prince Yu's son, she can wear women's clothes back and be herself freely.
She lifted her skirt and ran down the city wall quickly.
No matter how cold the cold was, it couldn't blow away the happy smile on her face.
When she ran up to Li Ji, Li Ji bent down and pulled her onto the horse, and embraced her in his arms.
The two rode into the city together on the same horse.
Both sides of the road were full of people, they came to welcome the triumphant return of the army.
When they saw the regent appeared, they all cheered.
The 40,000 troops cannot all enter the city, only some of them can enter Lingxi City with the regent, and the rest are temporarily stationed outside the city, waiting for rewards.
This time they captured many enemy prisoners, and this time they were all brought into Lingxi City.
Seeing those prisoners in distress, the emotions of the people were pushed to a climax again, and the cheers were also louder and louder.
Originally, there were still many young ladies yearning to throw embroidered sachets on the regent, but after seeing the beautiful young lady in the regent's arms, they could only shift their targets to the generals behind.
Many generals were thrown with embroidered handkerchiefs and sachets all over their bodies, and even Li Liao, who was full of beards, was not spared.
When they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, these generals already had a lot of fragrance on their bodies.
Hua Manman can smell their scent just by getting closer.
Compared to the excited and proud faces of the other generals, Li Liao looked very low-key. He took the opportunity to go back to the house and change his clothes.
When the war is over, the next most important thing is to reward the soldiers and dispose of the prisoners.
After these matters are settled properly, Li Ji, Hua Manman and his party have to prepare to return to Beijing.
At this time, the New Year is approaching, Lu Wanqing invited them to stay and celebrate the New Year together, but Hua Manman politely declined.
Goudan was still at home alone, she was worried and wanted to hurry back.
On the second day after the first year, Hua Manman, Li Ji, Li Liao and his party bid farewell to Lu Wanqing and left Lingxi City.
Hua Manman and Yueniang ride in the same carriage.
There is a small stove burning in the car, but it is not cold, but we must pay attention to open the windows to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning.
Although Hua Manman has changed back to women's clothes now, Li Ji is still worried, he will approach the carriage from time to time, and look inside the carriage through the window.
This scene fell into Yueniang's eyes, and she felt a little funny.
But due to the status of the other party's regent, Yueniang didn't dare to really laugh, so she could only hold back her lips.
She whispered to Hua Manman.
"Your man is really jealous."
The little cat was napping next to the small stove, and raised its head to meow when it heard this.
That's right! He is a jealous maniac!
Hua Manman: "That's all he has in mind, just get used to it."
She gestured with her index finger and thumb.
Yueniang covered her lips and smiled lightly.
Seven days later, they successfully left the border of Longdong County.
Go all the way to the north.
The temperature is getting colder and colder, the mountain road is almost frozen, and the road surface is wet and slippery, making it very difficult to walk.
They were forced to travel more and more slowly.
The convoy entered Fushun County and found an inn to stay.
According to Li Ji's status, they could stay directly at the inn, but Li Liao suggested to conceal their identities and travel in microservices, which would be safer and more secure.
Therefore, they are disguised as official rich families who go out to visit relatives, and outsiders do not know their true identities.
Today is New Year's Eve, red lanterns are hung on the gates of every household in the city, and pedestrians on the street are also dressed in red and green, and everyone is beaming.
Since everyone went home for the New Year, there were almost no other guests in the inn, so Li Ji simply paid for the entire inn.
The shopkeeper is naturally willing to make this money, but he still reminded truthfully.
"Our cooks and fellows have all gone home for the New Year, so tonight's meal may only be resolved by you."
Hua Manman said that there is no problem.
The shopkeeper also has to go home to celebrate the New Year. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell them that they can use the ingredients in the kitchen as they like, and they don’t need to clean up after cooking. They will clean up when the staff come to work tomorrow morning. The only thing to pay attention to is Just close the doors and windows so that thieves don't get in.
Huamanman naturally responded one by one.
She and Yueniang went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and the little cat followed him in, wanting to eat something delicious.
Li Ji brought a lot of personal guards, the total number was less than 100, and Li Liao also brought a lot of people, Hua Manman and Yueniang alone would definitely not be able to cook so many meals.
Li Ji was also reluctant to make Manman work so hard, so he asked his subordinates to prepare dinner by themselves.
Those personal guards often go out to do errands, and cooking is a piece of cake.
They set up a fire and a pot in the yard, and prepared the New Year's Eve dinner lively.
Li Ji and Li Liao couldn't just sit and wait for food, they also had to come to the kitchen to help.
Li Ji was in charge of choosing and washing vegetables, and Li Liao was in charge of lighting the fire.
Yueniang was still terrified at first, she felt that these two people were from aristocratic backgrounds, and they must have kept their fingers aloof since they were young, if they were asked to work, they might not be able to do the work, but would cause trouble for them instead.
The result was beyond his expectation.
Whether it's Li Ji or Li Liao, they are very slick in their work, and they all obey orders. They will do whatever Hua Manman asks them to do, without any second thoughts.
Yueniang's impression of Li Ji has changed. It seems that although this person is a little narrow-minded, he is still good in other aspects.
The guards got a suckling pig from nowhere, and they were setting up a fire to roast the suckling pig in the yard, making the whole yard smell of roasted suckling pig.
The little cat squatted on the window sill and watched, drooling with greed.
Hua Manman also prepared pork dishes, such as braised pork with dried plums and braised pork trotters.
The trotters are marinated, boiled until soft and rotten, and then braised with corn and chili. The taste of the pig's trotter soaks into the corn, which infuses the corn with a meaty aroma. At the same time, the pepper adds a bit of spiciness to the pork trotter, making the taste of this dish richer and more fragrant.
When it came out of the pot, Hua Manman couldn't help picking up a piece of pork trotter with chopsticks and tasted it.
Then she tasted it for Li Ji, Li Liao and Yueniang respectively.
All three said it was very delicious.
Hua Manman also made dishes such as steamed sea bass, braised lion head, garlic shrimp, large plate chicken, and pearl lotus root balls.
There was a full table set up.
Of course, there are also essential dumplings for the New Year’s Eve dinner!
Hua Manman specially cooked a large pot of steaming dumplings.
The four of them each filled a bowl, and distributed the rest of the dumplings to the guards outside.
With these dumplings, they had a decent New Year's Eve.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
Hua Manman didn't have any big dreams, he just said something with a smile.
"I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year."
The wine glasses and bowls collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Peace and success!"

This article has actually come to an end, and there is only one and a half months before it will be finished.
