"You're dreaming!"

"Ah?" Bai Jin was terrified. She was not the mastermind, so she shouldn't be the one who was punished the most severely, right?

Yun Zhihan calmed down and said, "Xie Baijin, you are under house arrest from now on. You are not allowed to go anywhere except to practice martial arts in the courtyard!"

"You are not copying The Art of War, you are reciting it, and you must recite it word for word. When you have finished reciting it, your confinement will be lifted."

"At the same time, you must take better care of Yunyan and not make any mistakes."

"Mom!" Bai Jin cried like a deflated ball, "Mom, is this punishment too severe? I can't bear it!"

Yun Zhihan ignored her and looked at Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, from today on, you will teach Bai Jin how to take care of people. If she can't learn it well, it's your fault."

"Yes! I obey your command." Nanny Wen was also helpless. Why did she get implicated?

Miss Xie's punishments are never in vain. How come she is so good at making trouble?

"Mom, I know I was wrong!"

"Even though you know it won't work, you still have to do it. Let's happily decide. If you have any objections, go talk to the prince."

Bai Jin was speechless. Her mother really had her under control. She was going to run away from home! She couldn't stay in this house anymore.

Yun Zhihan knew what she was thinking and warned her, "Don't even think about running away from home. Where can you go at the foot of the imperial city? The emperor and the prince will be able to find you even if they dig three feet underground."

"Wow! Mom is bullying me!" Bai Jin knew he couldn't escape, so he started to act like a spoiled child.

But this time Yun Zhihan was determined to teach her daughter a lesson. Only by giving her something to do would the child stop coming up with bad ideas to annoy her every day.

And there is Nanny Wen, she must help her find something to do, otherwise she really can't stand the taste of drinking tonic soup every day.

"Okay, I'm tired, you all go back and reflect on yourselves."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, she called Jinshang to her side alone.

As both of them were maids, Shuanghua's marriage to a high position was bound to arouse Jinshang's jealousy and dissatisfaction with herself.

"Jin Shang!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"This is the only way to deal with Shuanghua's matter. Don't worry, if I meet the right person in the future, I will definitely stand by your side."

"Madam, Jinshang does not want to marry. I want to stay with you forever."

"You think so now, but you will change in the future."

Jin Shang shook her head and knelt down to beg, "Madam, please don't marry me off to someone else. I just want to stay by your side."

To be honest, she was indeed a little jealous of her sister Shuanghua's luck. Being able to marry the eldest son of the Xie family was a blessing that a girl could never get in several lifetimes.

But for her, she still has to face the reality. Such a good thing that falls from the sky will not fall on her. She is lucky enough to stay by her wife's side and enjoy the glory all her life.

"Okay!" Yun Zhihan touched her head and comforted her, "Just stay with me. If you have other ideas in the future, I will definitely keep an eye on you."

"Thank you, Madam. I am lucky to have this servant accompany you."

Yun Zhihan stopped trying to persuade her. Girls of different ages naturally have different ideas, so just let her be.

After dealing with today's affairs, she couldn't help but worry about Tuoba Hong who was far away in Dongyue Kingdom.

"Tongzi, the matter has been resolved. Don't play dead, or I'll make you freeze!"

"Hanhan, you're so fierce that even Tongzi is scared."

"Haha, alive? Tell me, how is General Tuoba doing over there?"

"Hanhan, don't worry, just wait a moment, General Tuoba's letter will arrive soon."

As soon as Tongzi finished speaking, A Yue ran in.

"Madam, this is a letter from our prince. Please take a look."

"Thank you, Ayue."

She couldn't wait to open the letter and read every word carefully.

When Tuoba Hong wrote this letter, his longing for Yun Zhihan was beyond words, but he was the crown prince now and could not leave Dongyue, otherwise the court would once again be in chaos with no leader.

Therefore, I can only express my thoughts through this form of letters.

In the letter, he expressed his admiration for Zhihan and expressed his wish that he could end things here immediately and go to Da Zhou to marry her home. He had even prepared the betrothal gifts.

The betrothal gift was given in full compliance with the highest etiquette of the Queen.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. As long as the Southern Kingdom declares a war, Dongyue can come as an ally to help Da Zhou and win the victory.

Finally, in order to promote friendly relations between the two countries, Yun Zhihan was married through marriage.

However, everything has to wait, and he doesn’t know how long he has to wait. He just hopes Zhihan will not forget him and will wait for him to propose marriage.

……

Prince's East Palace.

Murong Yan had just finished reviewing the memorial in his hand when Xiao Chunzi brought in a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, drink some water and take care of yourself."

"No problem! I'll take these revised memorials to my father for his review."

"Yes!"

The prince came to the Qianqing Palace and saw the emperor lying lazily on the bed, with bursts of laughter coming from him from time to time.

"Father, why are you so happy? Can you tell me?"

"Yan'er, you've come just in time." The emperor called him to his side, "I heard that Guard Xie wants to marry a maid, and the Princess of Qingyang County has agreed."

"Oh? When did it happen?" Murong Yan instantly became interested.

"Just now, Minister Xie came to report on the disaster relief, and he also came to ask me for a marriage for Guard Xie. What do you think, Yan'er?"

The emperor became happier and happier as he spoke. This was exactly what Zhihan would do. Although it seemed inappropriate, this way, the Xie family would not make friends with any ministers and would only be loyal to the court and the royal family.

Murong Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's all up to my father to decide."

"Hey! You're going to be in my position soon. You can't rely on me for everything. Tell me what you think."

"Yes! Father. I think that although the decision of Guard Xie and Madam Xie does not conform to the traditional marriage ceremony of aristocratic families, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not explicitly require that children of aristocratic families must marry someone of equal status."

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with what the Xie family did. It just did not meet the expectations of the ministers in the court."

"So, I think that your father's marriage is a major event that can win the hearts of the people for the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is Madam Xie paving the way for the reputation of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Of course, he added the last sentence on the spur of the moment. He knew how his father felt about Madam Xie, but the two of them were just not destined to be together.

"Good! Yan'er is absolutely right." The emperor was in a good mood after hearing this.

"I believe that the emperor also understands the Xie family's actions, and there is another meaning behind it."

"Father, there is no need to say more. I understand and will fully cooperate with your actions."

"Yes." The emperor turned to Huang Desheng and asked, "By the way, Guard Xie seems to have turned down a lot of social engagements in the past few days. Is this to prepare for the wedding?"
