Early the next morning after returning to Beijing, Xia Xue'er had just gotten up, Xianglan and Cuizhu had already returned to Tingyuxuan, they had entered the city last night, but they went to Dengxian Tower first, and only returned to Anguohou's Mansion early this morning.

As soon as breakfast was withdrawn, Xianglan took out a thick book from her arms and handed it to Xia Xue'er, saying, "This is an important event in the past year that the slave and maid have sorted out, and Miss may be able to use it!" ”

As early as after learning that Zhu Xuan went out of the city with the emperor's order, Xianglan expected today's situation, and began to sort out the big and small things in the past year, which focused on collecting news on the boundary of Youzhou and the events related to King Yan and King Ning and the list of people who came and went, these news were transmitted back by spies distributed in various places, and some of them were not even mastered by the emperor's secret agents. For a whole month, for this collection of information, she made countless trips between Dengxian Tower and Netherworld Valley. The reason why I didn't go home immediately was because of this book.

As the soldiers say, knowing themselves and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, since they have decided to participate in it, how can they end up in the role of loser?!

Xia Xue'er took the book handed by Xianglan, she was thinking about asking them to tell her what happened when she was away, but she didn't expect her to be so thoughtful and prepare such a book in advance!

Roughly doubled, it turned out that not only the big and small things in the capital, but even the prefectures and prefectures, it is simply a book of a brief introduction to the division of bureaucratic forces in various places!

For her and Mu Xuanlong, after having this book, they are no longer blind people touching elephants, they are carefully studied and studied, and they can break each other!

It's just such a comprehensive network, is it really Xianglan who has sorted it out alone? What's more, many of them are confidential information, and it is not something that a disciple of Xianglan's level can access.

Xia Xue'er closed the book, raised her head to look at Xianglan, held her hand at the same time, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the usefulness of this book can even exceed that of thousands of troops!" ”

"As long as it's useful to Miss, this book can be made without the support of the valley owner, and many things are only obtained after he has instructed him."

Xianglan 1510 confessed. In fact, she wrote this book because she was inspired by the valley master, for some reason, she always felt that the valley owner's support for the young lady was far beyond the support between master and apprentice, and even did not hesitate to break the principle of "just ask about the temple and don't participate in the power struggle" that the Netherworld Valley had set since its inception, not only that, but he also seemed to have great expectations for this!

She doesn't understand, but hasn't the valley owner's kindness to the young lady always been unpredictable? So, she could only attribute it to Madame.

This book is really good, Xia Xue'er couldn't stop it, and she had been reading it since she took it off from breakfast, until a maid came to report that the ninth princess was coming, so she asked Xianglan to put the book away.

The ninth princess, Mu Wenshu, her sister-in-law, has been through the door for less than half a year.

instructed the maid to invite people in quickly, and at the same time she also got up and was supported by Cuizhu to greet her. Although Mu Wenshu is ranked ninth among the princesses, she is actually two years older than Xia Xue'er, she is eighteen years old this year, and she made a marriage contract with her eldest brother Xia Qi three years ago after being married by the emperor, and the wedding should have been held at the beginning of last year, but because Xia Xue'er's runaway implicated the Marquis of Anguo's mansion and was imprisoned, the wedding could only be postponed to the beginning of this year, and it has been less than half a year.

"That's the Ninth Princess in front." Xia Xue'er was thinking about this, and she heard Dongmei next to her whisper that she was afraid that Xia Xue'er had forgotten what the ninth princess looked like, after all, she couldn't attend the wedding.

"Sister-in-law."

Xia Xue'er didn't stop, and after meeting the visitor, she squatted down slightly to salute, after all, it was her eldest sister-in-law, and it was the first time she met as a family member, and she should be saluted. Seeing her like this, Mu Wenshu also hurriedly returned the gift. Although she is a princess, Xia Xueer is also a princess, and the two are almost the same, so you can't do this ceremony! Besides, if you marry a husband and follow your husband, you are just a courtier, and you are even more unruly!

"According to the royal rank, I still have to call you the imperial sister-in-law!"

Mu Wenshu smiled nicely, then pulled Xia Xue'er's hands, unfolded them to look at her waist, and asked curiously, "How many months has this been?" It's so obvious! ”

Xia Xue'er smiled slightly and replied, "It's been almost six months." "Autumn is pregnant, and in the blink of an eye, spring is already halfway over.

"Isn't that just a matter of the month!" Mu Wenshu looked a little surprised, and then said, "It seems that I have to start preparing congratulatory gifts!" ”

The two talked and smiled all the way into the house, Mu Wenshu has a good personality, she does not have the arrogant temperament of a princess, she is approachable, and she was easy for Xia Xueer to meet three years ago, and although they didn't get along for long, both sides had a good impression of each other, so they could talk.

The maid had already prepared a fruit plate to eat and tea to eat. Mu Wenshu glanced at what she ate and secretly remembered her taste.

"I was supposed to come to see you yesterday, but unfortunately yesterday the mother concubine was not very well, so I went to the palace, and it was not early when I came back, for fear that the abruptness of coming would disturb your rest, so I only came back today."

After listening to Mu Wenshu's explanation, Xia Xue'er asked with concern: "How is Niangniang's health?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been tired lately, my appetite is not good, I drank the medicinal soup of the imperial doctor, and I have been better for seven or eight years, but the concubine Niangniang is still sick, every time I ask how the situation is, the imperial doctor is silent, it's hard for you, and I have been serving by the side when I am pregnant!"

Hearing this, Xia Xue'er was stunned at first, and didn't understand what it meant, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and didn't show her feet. Since she was "kidnapped" in early August last year, the emperor said that she was taking care of the "sick" Sun Guifei in the palace in order to "refute the rumors", in order to keep secrets, Yuehua Palace naturally inevitably avoided the doom of being grounded, the emperor originally wanted her to stay in the palace for a few months before "dying", but he didn't want the story of King Yan's conspiracy to rebel leaked later, she was able to "survive", but it was a bitter Sun Guifei, this "illness" is nearly a year! Thinking about it, Sun Guifei is afraid that she has already greeted her ancestors for eighteen generations.

Mu Wenshu leaned closer, lowered her voice and asked, "You just left the palace yesterday, how is the health of the concubine?" ”

Xia Xue'er smiled slightly and replied, "The emperor's grace is mighty, he has been cured, and it is estimated that he will be able to move freely in the next few days." ”

The emperor did a really good job of secrecy, and even the ninth princess didn't know the truth that she wasn't actually in the palace! (To be continued.) )
