After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 69 You go to JAC

Qu Chu looked at Grandma Liu.

Grandma Liu is in her fifties, she looks a bit shrewd, and doesn't quite match the nagging image in Ning Youbei's mouth.

Qu Chu nodded to her.

Ning Youbei said from the side:
"The general is still busy with court affairs, so he has no time to take care of the affairs of the palace, so all the affairs of the palace are still managed by Madam Liu. But from now on, everyone will treat the general with more respect than me. She is the biggest in the whole palace."

Nanny Liu glanced at Qu Chu, seeing that she was still expressionless.

Ning Youbei introduced several main managers in the mansion to Qu Chu, without exception, Qu Chu only nodded, not to mention any polite words.

Ning Youbei knew that Qu Chu had such a temperament and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the stewards were beating up in their hearts: Is the general dissatisfied with them?
After meeting people, Qu Chu and Ning Youbei went to the palace in red uniforms.

……

Imperial Palace Study Room

After finishing the imperial court, the emperor stayed in the imperial study room waiting for Ning Youbei and Qu Chu.

Seeing the two people coming in side by side, the emperor showed a gratified smile.He was finally worthy of his mother's concubine's dying entrustment.

Now that Youbei is married, it is a marriage that he wants, and General Qu is also a good person, and he will protect Youbei in the future, there is nothing better than this.

Qu Chu and Ning Youbei kowtowed three times on the ground respectfully.

After the emperor asked them to get up, he said to Qu Chu: "They are all from my own family. In the future, when you see me, don't make such a grand ceremony, just like You Bei."

Qu Chu cupped his fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the two sat down, the emperor directly said something important.

"General Qu, the salt tax revenue in the Jianghuai area is much lower than that of previous years, and King Huai has also managed Huaicheng to the point where the people are in dire straits, so I want Youbei to check for me what's going on.

But I'm going to let Youbei investigate secretly during this trip, so he can't take more people there.I don't feel at ease for other people, but only with you by his side can I feel at ease. "

Qu Chu did not shirk.

"If I go to Jianghuai with the prince, how will Yudu cover it up?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago. I will issue an imperial decree: Youbei will go to the north to reward the army instead of me. Naturally, you have to accompany him.

After you leave the city, find an opportunity to disguise yourself and go to Jianghuai, while the person pretending to be Youbei still goes to the north.

Along the way, the reward team will try to walk as slowly as possible, and the two of you will return to the team after finishing your work and continue northward. "

Qu Chu understood.

"Okay, I will try my best to protect the King of Chu, and nothing will happen to him."

The emperor nodded in relief, "You should also pay attention to yourself and try not to get injured. You go back and prepare, and leave in three days."

The three of them talked again, and Ning Youbei and Qu Chu left.

Ning Youbei and the emperor had discussed the matter of going to Jianghuai several times. He already knew what to investigate and how to investigate, so he didn't say much about the investigation today.

……

After leaving the palace, Qu Chu asked, "Apart from going to Jianghuai, do you want to go to Jingcheng?"

"Brother Huang mainly asked me to investigate the affairs of Jianghuai. Not only the salt tax, but Brother Huang also suspects that someone is deliberately behind the chaos in Huaicheng. As for whether to go to Jingcheng, we will wait until the time to see the situation."

Qu Chu understood.

If the driving force behind Jianghuai is not King Jing, then it is not necessary to go to Jingcheng. If the Jianghuai matter is related to King Jing, then Jingcheng must be visited.

"do you have any plans?"

"This time it's just the two of us going, and we haven't thought about how to do it. Let's play it by ear then!"

Qu Chu asked another question.

"Then who are you going to let pretend to be you?"

"There is a man in the Prince Chu's mansion who looks six points like me. He has also learned my voice and manners. If he puts on makeup, people who are not very familiar will not recognize him."

Qu Chu turned his head to look at Ning Youbei. With such a beautiful face, there is someone who looks six points like him. It's not easy!
As if understanding Qu Chu's thoughts, Ning Youbei smiled: "Although I have a sextant resemblance to me, it's not half as good-looking as I am. Anyway, you'll know it when you see it."

It's really... shameless!
……

The carriage arrived at the gate of King Chu's Mansion, but there was a person waiting at the gate.

It's Ye Yu'an.

Ning Youbei lifted the curtains of the carriage: "Yu'an, why don't you go in?"

Ye Yuan came slowly.

"I have nothing else to do. I just came here to say goodbye to you. I heard that you have gone to the palace, so I just waited here."

After speaking, Ye Yu'an handed over a jade box, "This is the glacier snow lotus I picked in Mobei. I only got three in total. This one is for you."

Ning Youbei was also polite, and reached out to take the box and opened it.

Qu Chu also stretched out his head to look.

She has seen snow lotus before, but this is the first time she has seen snow lotus in glacier.

The appearance of glacier snow lotus is not much different from that of snow lotus, except that the white petals and the green leaves wrapping the flowers are more crystal clear and shiny, a bit like ice crystals.

The yield of snow lotus is extremely low. It takes five years from germination to flowering of snow lotus, and it only grows in cold highlands.This glacier snow lotus must have a harsher growing environment and slower growth.

really!
Ye Yuan introduced:
"This glacier snowdrop grows in the glacier, and the surrounding temperature is extremely cold. It takes 50 years from germination to flowering. The main effect of glacier snowdrop is to prolong life."

"Then thank you very much. However, you still follow me into the mansion. I got some good wine, and the two of us have a good pot."

Ye Yu'an looked at Qu Chu.

Is this asking for your own opinion?

Qu Chu replied casually: "It's okay, you two drink."

Seeing that Qu Chu really didn't care, Ye Yu'an said, "Then just stop bothering me."

……

Tea room
Ning Youbei had someone bring some appetizers over, but no wine.

He took out a jug of wine from the cupboard in the tea room and put it on the table.

"Come here and smell it, and see if you can guess the formula of this wine?"

The two had known each other since childhood, and Ye Yu'an was not restrained, so he opened the lid of the wine jar.

A very special smell of wine came out, Ye Yu'an took a deep breath, and quickly reported the names of several recipes, and then he couldn't say any more.

Ning Youbei smiled and said: "You have it too. You used to laugh at us, saying that we don't understand wine, but now there are things you don't know, right?"

Ye Yu'an smiled and didn't answer him.

Ning Youbei and Ye Yu'an sat down facing each other. Ning Youbei took a wine spoon and scooped the wine into the flagon. When the flagon was full, he sealed the wine jar.

"The two of us only drink this pot today."

Ye Yu'an smiled and said, "What? Can't bear it?"

"No, I only got two altars in total. I don't know when I want to drink until next time, so I have to take it easy."

Ye Yu'an picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the taste was mellow but not spicy, with a hint of rosin.After entering the abdomen, the whole body is warm, and people become more pleasant.

"Good wine."
