"It's okay, I also like to read books and practice calligraphy on weekdays, as long as sister Dai doesn't think I'm clumsy, that's fine."

After all, Liu Meier still didn't want to leave sister Dai alone in the huge princess mansion.

Seeing what Liu Meier said, Jiang Changdai didn't say anything more.

In the middle of the night, the two left the water pavilion, Liu Meier held the lamp by her side, looked at the fireflies lingering around and sighed: "It's so beautiful."

"If Meier likes it, why don't the servants grab some and watch it?"

"Not yet." Liu Meier felt that sister Dai's words just now really treated her like a child.

Jiang Changdai didn't think too much about Liu Meier, but she just thought that if she liked it, why not satisfy her preferences.

Liu Mei'er felt that she should behave like an adult, so maybe sister Dai would not always treat herself like a child.

Waiting for the palace people to welcome the two into the main hall, Liu Meier handed over the lamp to the palace people, because it was the first time entering the princess mansion, so she didn't know the way.

I just followed Sister Dai all the way into the room, until the palace people suddenly pursed their lips and smiled slightly: "My lord, the eldest princess is going to take a bath in the pool, how long are you going to follow?"

Ugh?

When Liu Meier, who blushed for a moment, was sitting alone by the window with her pillow slumped, the wind outside the window was not cool, after all, it was still hot at night in midsummer.

After a while, Liu Meier realized that she was really married to sister Dai belatedly.

Last night, she was so drunk and confused, Liu Meier could still deal with it calmly, but now Liu Meier is very sober, what should I do.

Liu Meier, who was full of nervousness, was lying on the limp bed, tossing and turning like an earthworm.

When Jiang Changdai came out from the room in plain and light gauze, she saw the limp lump.

The palace people all lowered their heads and held back their laughter, Liu Meier noticed something was wrong and quickly sat up stiffly.

The carved beams and painted buildings in the bedroom of the main hall are particularly gorgeous, and the glazed lamps clearly illuminate the interior of the hall, including the slight blush on Sister Dai's white jade face.

Even though Sister Dai was just sitting lazily in front of the dressing table, it made Liu Meier think of what it means to be so beautiful.

The 26-year-old sister Dai has an indescribably quieter beauty than a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in her boudoir.

Liu Meier stared blankly, not even noticing that the servant beside her had already called her several times.

"My son-in-law, the hot water is ready!" The palace people watched the dazed little son-in-law fleeing hastily with restrained smiles.

Jiang Changdai glanced at the flustered figure through the bronze mirror, and her eyes couldn't help but smile a little.

Bathing in summer is really sweltering and hot, but Liu Meier took a bath extremely slowly.

When I came out, most of the palace people had already left the bedroom. Sister Dai was lying on the bed reading a book, and the lamp on the side illuminated Sister Dai like a fairy in a painting, extremely quiet and elegant.

"Meier, how long are you going to be in a daze?" Jiang Changdai closed the book in her hand and looked at Liu Meier not far away.

On weekdays, Liu Meier is often seen wearing dull and dark robes, but it was only when she was dressed in plain white that she realized that her frame was actually very thin.

And because of her bathing, her cheeks were flushed very obviously. If others looked at her appearance like this, they might doubt her identity as a man.

"I..." Liu Meier approached slowly, worrying about how to separate the bed, when a few gusts of wind blew through the window, "Sister Dai, I'm afraid of the heat, can I sleep on a soft couch?"

"Sleep if you want." Jiang Changdai also knew that she was concerned about revealing her identity, so she naturally cooperated with her.

Liu Mei'er frowned, and immediately ran to the soft bed with the thin quilt in her arms.

After sleeping until dawn that night, Liu Meier realized that she was still not as comfortable as the bed.

Not to mention that it is not as spacious as the bed, and it is just a layer of cushions, but it is actually very hard.

For several days in a row, Liu Mei'er suffered from back pains.

Fortunately, the five-day holiday ended very quickly, and the consort was usually not summoned and would not often enter the princess mansion.

When Liu Mei'er went to court to work as an errand, officials from the Ministry of Rituals even came forward to congratulate her.

Ordinary officials are not allowed to go to the princess's banquet, and the colleagues are all fifth-rank officials, so naturally they can only congratulate in private.

After the imperial examination, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were not so busy, but the new servant of the Ministry of Rites, Song Yuanshan, always wanted to chat with Liu Meier, but the topic of chatting was inseparable from the eldest princess.

For this reason, Liu Meier kept avoiding him, and when there were many hunting and sacrificial activities in autumn, the Ministry of Rites became increasingly busy.

In the court, a disturbance was gradually brewing about the eldest princess's regency, because after the marriage, the emperor had already blatantly raised the matter of taking power.

In the beginning, Jiang Changdai actually wanted to wait for the court's tax policy to stabilize before giving up power, but the emperor couldn't wait.

"How long does elder sister want to monopolize the power?" the emperor asked extremely resentfully.

"Then the Japanese palace will not go to court tomorrow."

When the news from the Sun Palace came out, the Yuan family was the most excited, and the aristocratic family also waited and watched with joy.

These aristocratic families tossed by the elder princess as regents are like crushing ants, everyone is afraid of being dealt with.

And the Confucian scholars who originally followed the eldest princess to rebel against King Qin also tacitly kept quiet. After all, the emperor is the orthodox, and Confucian scholars do not support women as regents.

Seeing this, Li Ping naturally didn't want to make a sound, but felt that he might be in danger.

In the past few years, the tax policy promulgated by the court is extremely aimed at the aristocratic family. Once the princess is no longer regent, Li Ping, who implements the government order, is no different from a discarded knife. Life and death are not up to him.

When Liu Meier learned that the eldest princess was no longer regent, she thought she had heard false news.

In the previous life, Sister Dai never let go of the regent position, so why did everything change suddenly?

The turmoil in the court suddenly became turbulent due to the withdrawal of the eldest princess. The emperor was instigated by the empress Yuan and others and began to suppress the ministers and officials promoted by the eldest princess.

Li Ping was first abolished as Taifu, but unexpectedly, the tax decree on salt and iron was not abolished.

At this moment, Zhou Xing, Chang Chun and other gentry could vaguely feel that something was wrong. The emperor was clearly trying to clear up the power. If this went on, the Yuan family and other aristocratic families might become extremely rampant.

During the fall and winter, the Mo country in the north suddenly invaded the border again, and even cavalry drove straight in, burned, killed and looted, causing many refugees to flee to the vicinity of the capital.

"These desert people are too rampant!" The young and energetic emperor was furious and demanded to send troops to counterattack immediately.

The court ministers hurriedly dissuaded them from going out at this time. The young emperor, who was in power for the first time, did not listen to the persuasion at all, and insisted on ordering the mobilization of troops from all over the country to send troops.

In the winter, it was already very cold and hard to travel. The desert cavalry came and went without a trace, and a large number of soldiers were rashly dispatched before the food and grass were ready. However, the soldiers of Ban Yue could only pursue the enemy hungry.

The cavalry from Mo country immediately withdrew from Jiang country as soon as they heard the news, but Jiang country's soldiers had to follow the military orders and blindly go deep into the desert to pursue them. Soon more and more soldiers died.

The heavy snow has been falling non-stop, and this counterattack has been widely circulated among the people in the capital, but the Princess Mansion is extremely quiet.

Jiang Changdai looked at the battle report, and the young emperor anxiously waited to speak.

Because most of the troops were suppressed by the Mo Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops to occupy many cities, but the Jiang Kingdom was powerless to fight back. Now if the other three countries unite again, the chaos of the Five Kingdoms will reappear.

"Your Majesty, order the troops to withdraw." Jiang Changdai put down the notebook in her hand.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to withdraw my troops at this time?" The emperor only wanted to let the elder sister make a plan to solve the predicament, but he never expected that she would actually persuade him to withdraw his troops.

"The army is defeated like a mountain. If we don't mobilize soldiers from the Mo Kingdom to deal with the troops from the Qing Kingdom, I'm afraid that the Qing Kingdom will directly attack the capital to claim His Majesty's throne. Your Majesty can decide for himself."

The steaming teacup was smashed to the ground by the emperor, and Liu Meier, who was peeling peanuts for Sister Dai, didn't dare to speak.

It's rare for Liu Meier, who has time to accompany sister Dai, to think that such a thing will happen.

The emperor left the pavilion in a hurry, Jiang Changdai looked at the person hiding behind the curtain and called: "Meier, have you finished peeling the peanuts?"

Liu Meier sat down with a large bowl of peanuts and said, "It's still a little bit worse."

Jiang Changdai looked at the peanuts in front of her, and took one into her mouth.

"Isn't this peanut sweet?" Liu Meier carefully peeled the peanut, "My mother said that eating more boiled peanuts is good for your health."

"Sweet is very sweet, but it's a little cold." Jiang Changdai ignored the emperor's summons to enter the palace because she knew that the emperor would not easily admit her mistakes.

In the spring, Jiang Guo's army was brought back one after another, and General Yue Wu fought hard to defeat Qing's attack, thus regaining several cities.

But in the end, Jiang Guo's army was exhausted, and Qing Guo was unwilling to give up the city he occupied. The two countries were at a stalemate, so Qing Guo proposed to send envoys to negotiate.

The usual affairs of receiving foreign guests are the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally this time the envoys will also be selected from the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

All the court officials knew that if the negotiation failed, the emperor might not spare the envoy lightly.

Just as the officials were unable to evade in time, Song Yuanshan offered to be an envoy.

The emperor was very appreciative, and personally promised that if he could make the Qing country retreat, the post of Tai Tuo would be well-deserved.

The Yuan family and others were not happy, and they managed to overthrow Li Ping. This Song Yuanshan is not a son of a wealthy family, so why let him be the grand tutor.

Although the Yuan family and the others did not dare to speak out, they secretly planned to stop Song Yuanshan's peace talks.

When the mighty traveling team left the capital, it attracted many people to wait and see.

Jiang Changdai on the teahouse frowned slightly and looked at the traveling team, vaguely aware that there was an inner ghost in the court.

On the other hand, Liu Meier saw that Sister Dai was full of worry, even the candied haws in her hand were no longer sweet, but her heart was even more sour.

Is sister Dai worried about Song Yuanshan?

"It should be fine this time." Liu Mei'er remembered that she had never heard of Qing's invasion of the capital in her last life, so she muttered.

Jiang Changdai said solemnly: "I'm afraid the chances of winning this mission are not great."

Liu Meier chewed the candied haws in her mouth and responded in surprise: "No way, Mr. Song is a very powerful new champion."

In her previous life, Liu Mei'er had heard a lot about Song Yuanshan's heroic deeds of wisdom and bravery, and there were even many rumors that he was a match made in heaven with Sister Dai.

"Is Meier's candied haws delicious?" Jiang Changdai tilted her head and saw Liu Meier's mouth full of sugar residue, the worry between her eyebrows and eyes was a little less, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

"Huh?" Liu Meier, who didn't respond to the change of topic at all, froze for a moment, then nodded seriously, "It's delicious."

Jiang Changdai wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief in her hand and said, "Meier, sometimes you look at things like eating candied haws. You can't just ignore the sweet syrup on the outside and ignore the extremely sour and bitter fruit inside, you know?"

Liu Meier looked at Sister Dai with her face flushed, her heart was pounding like she was about to jump out!

"Yes, I see." Liu Meier nodded dizzily.

Speaking of it, sister Dai seems to be very similar to candied haws.

Mingming's dealings with people are sweeter than the syrup on the outside of candied haws, but it seems that no one can touch her true heart.
