Yuan Jinhua's eyes flashed. After a while, he asked, "Are you sure it's the seventh prince's men?"

Hua Yuan shook her head. "I met a servant girl on the street. I don't even know if she's someone from the Seventh Prince's residence. But she said she was. "

"Then it should be."

Yuan Jinhua frowned slightly. He naturally knew about the Seventh Prince. He was smart and good at planning. If he wanted to be in that position, no one would be his match!

Perhaps it was because of his childhood experiences, but he never took anyone's words to heart. He would do whatever he wanted! It was not easy for Hua to obtain his promise of help.

Hua Yuan might not even know what kind of person Jun Yuqing was, but he knew!

At this moment, Yuan Jinhua actually felt a little relieved in his heart. After all, although he didn't seem to care, it was still a matter that concerned his family. If something were to happen to him alone, it wouldn't be that important. If it involved the lives of the entire mansion, then it would be hard to accept.

He nodded his head and said, "Alright, Grandfather understands. Since Seventh Prince has already said so, there's no need to worry about Grandfather anymore. Grandfather will think of a way to deal with your mother and you should just go and play with your cousin now. "

Hua Yuan: …

I really didn't come here for that!

However, Hua Yuan still obediently left the area. Yuan Rong Zhu then brought Hua Yuan along to their own courtyard.

"Are you still worried, Iris?"

Hua Yuan nodded. How could she not be worried? If there was one mistake, it would be a family massacre. Not to mention the current emperor, even if it were her own, she would still suspect that her grandfather had colluded with those people from the inside.

Even if those people didn't do anything unacceptable. The damage wasn't actually that big of a deal. However, Cang Yue's capital city had been attacked just like that, and it was so blatantly. This was a huge face-smacking act. Who could endure this?

Yuan Rong Zhu said, "Since Grandfather said it will be fine, then it must be fine. You don't have to worry too much about it. In short, Grandfather is very powerful, so there is nothing that he cannot accomplish. "

Hua Yuan naturally knew how powerful her grandfather was. If she didn't have the experience of her past life, she would have believed her grandfather to be so powerful as well.

After making a trip to Yuanfu, Hua Yuan naturally did not receive any useful information and directly left for Yuanfu.

After he returned, he went straight to the Yuan clan's side.

The Yuan clan was the first to ask, "How is it? What did your grandfather say?"

Hua Yuan shook her head and said, "Grandfather said he's fine, so he told us not to worry too much. However, it doesn't say how he wants to settle it either. "

Yuan Shi said, "We already knew it would be like this. Forget it, at most I'll just live and die with the Duke of Ling's estate. It's just that you all – in the past, Aunt always wanted to bring you wherever you went, but now, Aunt can't be this selfish anymore. In this situation, it would be best for you to stay in the Prime Minister's Residence. "

Hua Yuan naturally knew that what Yuan Shi said was the truth, but she still shook her head. "Mother hasn't reached that step yet. Why would she be in such a state?"

A few days later was the empress dowager's birthday. Naturally, small countries at the border also sent emissaries over to celebrate her birthday.

Hua Yuan had been busy in the yard for the past few days.

This day, Sui Qianying came to talk to Hua Yuan. Seeing that she was still messing around, she asked, "I saw that you have been messing around with these things, what are you doing?"

"Esteemed Empress Dowager's birthday is over, but esteemed Empress Dowager said those envoys from the smaller countries haven't left yet and are still talking nonsense in the palace." Her Majesty was not lightly angered, so she summoned me to accompany her. It's been a long time since I've seen Esteemed Empress Dowager, so I definitely have to send her some gifts. Moreover, we must give the emissaries of the small countries of Border Town a deep lesson! "

Sui Qianying looked at what was in Hua Yuan's hand, smiled and said, "Then what are you playing with now?"

Hua Yuan raised the thing in her hand and shook it. "This? I just learned it recently.

Sui Qianying laughed, "Didn't you say you wanted to leave a deep impression on those emissaries from small countries? Why is there only such a seal? "

"Mother said that before the empress dowager entered the palace, she liked to carve her own seal! This is called giving it your all! "

"You!"

Hua Yuan's seal was carved very quickly, and by the time Hua Yuan entered the palace, the seal had already been completed.

The empress dowager was waiting for her at the palace. "Little girl, I'll summon you to accompany my old woman. "It's that difficult!"

Hua Yuan took out the seal she had carved and gave it to Her Majesty. "She is at home preparing a present," she said. "I've always come to disturb you. This time, I must find something to bribe you."

The Empress took the seal from the palace maid and smiled at it.

"It's really hard for you, little girl, to still remember." This present is something that This Dowager really likes. "Girl, you've put in a lot of effort."

"Only, what has the empress dowager been worrying about these days?"

When this matter was brought up, the Empress Dowager did not look very well.

"How dare you refuse to pay tribute to me in such a small land!"

A few points were also proposed for the competition.

At that time, the envoy's original words were like this, "Since the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are things that the women of the Central Plains must learn from. Then, we will use these as our competition items. If you win, we will obediently give you our tribute. If you lose, then we will waive our tribute for the next ten years! "

At that time, the Emperor did not agree. In the end, the envoy seemed to have learnt how to goad others, "Such a huge country, to not even dare to accept such a small gamble?"

At that time, even though the Emperor knew that this was a provocation, a disgusting act from a small border country, he was still unable to restrain himself and agreed to it.

Furthermore, the competition was set to be held ten days later.

The empress dowager really didn't like those people!

He even said that he must recruit the noble ladies of the capital to participate in the competition.

Women didn't learn the zither, chess, and painting for competitions! It was just to improve his own cultivation. It was a virtue to be unable to find a woman of the Azure Moon, not to mention, what kind of girl would be willing to make a public appearance?

Even in the capital, so what if it spread the reputation of a talented girl?

A talented girl, that sounds good. However, for those ancient families, who would be interested in them?

Therefore, proper families didn't want to let their own girls participate in such competitions!

The emperor had entrusted such matters to him, but if the emperor wasn't willing, she could still force him, right? Therefore, the empress dowager hated all those messengers to the bone!

Wouldn't it be fine if we just gave you something nice to eat and drink?

To be able to create so many incidents, it was truly a sight to behold!

After listening to the empress dowager's story, Hua Yuan felt rather speechless. After all, these small kingdoms belonged to the barbarians.

How did he have the face to come here and negotiate as a defeated nation?

Hua Yuan asked angrily. "That's right, This Dowager wants to know as well. Where did their faces come from!?" "If it wasn't for the emperor, those small countries would have long been wiped off the face of the earth!"

Hua Yuan thought of something that had happened in her previous life that she could not imagine.

At that time, Cang Yue had fought with those small countries, and the result was naturally the defeat of those small countries. In the end, Cang Yue had to bear the burden of the war losses. Not only that, but she had to give them many resources to support them every year!

Hua Yuan already felt that this was akin to spending money to raise her enemies and make them even fatter!

If Cang Yue had been a little more stubborn, these people would not have dared to make such a request!
