Liuliu furrowed his brow. "But Guaizai is buying them."

"Yeah!" Guaizai thought for a moment, then raised one stubby finger: "Auntie, do you only need a little bit? If you only need a little, Guaizai can let you have one bolt."

"I want all of them."

"No way. First come, first served. Uncle, wrap them up for Guaizai."

The maidservant beside Madam Huang ordered coldly: "Xiao Song, wrap them up for the madam."

Qi Junmu had not expected Shen Nian to say such a thing at a moment like this. It was not a jest, yet it made him feel oddly self-conscious and ill at ease.

He felt his ears begin to warm, so he averted his gaze slightly and said flatly, "I only told Xing Yi to watch Prince Rui, not Cheng Jin." His implication was clear: he had not ordered anyone to monitor Cheng Jin, so the correspondence between Cheng Jin and Shen Nian was merely his inference based on Cheng Jin's temperament.

This time, Shen Nian did not laugh. He looked quietly at the Emperor, his eyes carrying emotions both calm and complicated.

Guaizai felt a bit guilty. Knowing Xie Xiaoyu loved dried fruit, he offered to go buy some from West Street for him, and take Liuliu for a stroll while they were at it. When they'd first come to Hezhou, Guaizai had gone shopping with Feng momo, so he already knew where everything was sold.

The two little ones held hands, unafraid even without an adult accompanying them. They went into a shop, bought the dried fruit, and as they came out the door, they saw a crowd gathered at the cloth shop next door. Eavesdropping, they heard that there was still quite a bit of fabric left over from the summer season, and it was now being sold at a discount.

The practice continued, and the Northern Rong grew greedier, demanding ever larger amounts each time.

They knew that the period of succession was when Da Qi was most vulnerable and when they could extract the most concessions. So, shortly after Emperor Jing took the throne, they launched an attack on the North Frontier while sending envoys to the capital demanding silver and a princess.

But Emperor Jing was not as accommodating as other rulers. Hearing these demands, he simply scoffed, detained the Northern Rong envoys in the capital, and without a second word, dispatched troops northward.

When the magistrate of Beilu returned to the main hall, everyone could see he was looking refreshed.

No one thought much of it—until the man sat down and said, with a fawning smile, "My lord, as soon as I get back, I'll have the people plant forage grass."

Everyone blinked.

What happened?

Weren't you against it before?

The Emperor's words were both justified and made perfect sense, leaving Shen Nian with no grounds to argue. Moreover, the Emperor was discussing official matters with him—matters concerning Prince Rui's fate, and matters concerning the stability of Da Qi's borders.

Since the Emperor had asked, Shen Nian had no choice but to steady his racing heart and set aside personal affairs for later.

Understanding this, Shen Nian steadied himself, set aside his turmoil, and replied with equal solemnity: "Your Majesty, your guess is correct. Cheng Jin did indeed write to this humble subject, and he mentioned Prince Rui as well."

This time, eleven county magistrates had come. Knowing Fang Zichen's character, they'd all brought gifts.

Fang Zichen said politely, "You're too kind—coming is enough, why bring gifts? How courteous of you," while his hands reached out one by one to accept them all with a smile.

Zhang Qian had barely carried those gifts to the back when Fang Zichen hurried in—official business could wait. First, he had to see what gifts they'd brought. He opened each box, inspected the presents, and was inwardly satisfied.
