Seeing that everyone was soothed by the warmth, Concubine Li felt even more heartbroken, but she still smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is right, please don't postpone it. This will set an example on the imperial list, and maybe more people will care about it." As for the soldiers on the border, capable people from all over the country are making some cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers on the border! Haha... Princess Hui'an is very considerate. We can rest assured if we leave the cotton-padded clothes to you!"
Princess Hui'an is really smart and knows how to win people's hearts.
It's just that with so many cotton-padded clothes in your hands, you must be able to ensure that they are safely delivered to the soldiers!
Wen Nuan smiled: "The noble concubine deserves the reward."
At this time, a shout came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
The palace concubines in the room all looked happy, and some even quickly arranged the hairpins on their heads, worried that they would be messed up.
The emperor has not set foot in the harem for nearly three months.
Everyone stood up one after another.
The emperor walked in with his head held high.
Everyone in the room saluted together: "My concubine/my wife has met the emperor. May the emperor be safe!"
When the emperor saw the smile on the Queen Mother's face and saw how lively Kangning Palace was, the emperor felt a little happy.
Since the eighth princess married away to Lanling Kingdom, the Queen Mother's place has become much quieter.
It's been okay recently, because the Queen Mother and her maids are working together to make cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers on the border, so it's not so boring.
And the concubines in the palace have been very good recently.
When they saw the Queen Mother donating cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers at the border, they all followed suit!
Although the emperor no longer came to the harem, he was relieved to hear about it.
"No gifts for everyone!"
The Emperor bowed to the Queen Mother and then said:
"Mother, what were you discussing just now? I'm so happy!"
Concubine Li immediately responded: "Back to the emperor, the concubines are discussing sending cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers at the border. We have prepared a lot of cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers and are going to ask Princess Hui'an to help deliver them to the soldiers at the border! The second prince said , the border is bitterly cold, and an extra cotton coat will bring extra warmth. Winter is coming soon, but we cannot let the soldiers guarding the border and protecting their homes and country have a chance to catch the cold! So the concubines, under the leadership of the Queen Mother, We have made 600,000 pieces of cotton coats and trousers!”
The emperor was in a very good mood when he heard this: "Haha... The second brother is right! This is well done! Not bad!"
The emperor praised, and then looked at Wen Wen: "Dong An Guo wrote that the 200,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers prepared by An Guogong's wife have been completed? Then they will be sent as soon as possible together with the cotton-padded clothes and trousers made by the concubines and ladies in the harem. Let it go to the soldiers at the border! Princess Hui'an and Mrs. Anguo will count it and then distribute it to see which border is more suitable."
The degree of coldness in each border is different. The emperor is worried that so many people make cotton-padded clothes with different thicknesses, so as not to send thick cotton-padded clothes to southern Xinjiang and thin ones to northern Xinjiang, which would be a real waste of resources.
Princess Hui'an was always careful and knew the difference, so the emperor asked her to handle it.
Concubine Li: "......"
Just that
The second brother is right
Gone
Concubine Li was dumbfounded!
The second prince didn’t do anything harmful!
That was the fault of the second prince and concubine. After so long, isn't the punishment enough
Nuan Nuan glanced at Concubine Li without any trace, and then blessed the emperor: "Yes!"
The emperor came to the Queen Mother: "Mother, the auspicious time is coming, the ceremony has begun, let's go to the altar!"
The Queen Mother nodded, and then thought of something: "Is Seventeen back?"
"Not yet, but Seventeen is always punctual, so it should be soon."
The Queen Mother nodded.
Then the emperor and the queen mother, surrounded by everyone, went to the altar.

Guofu Temple
At the foot of the cliff, the presiding master has sent people to search everything, but still no peach wood box was found.
The host master looked up, and there was a line of blue sky above his head. On both sides of the deep valley were lush trees, occasionally mixed with a patch of yellow clouds.
"I'm afraid that the peach wood box fell on the tree halfway up my waist. If I want to find it, I won't have enough time. Forget it, it happens to be the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. I need to ask for it again at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and worship it for a year. "
Please ask again and worship for a year
After hearing this, Nalan Jinnian looked at him expressionlessly, as if he was telling a big joke.
The host of Guofu Temple felt a little gloating. He touched his beard and suppressed his smile: "Otherwise, how would we find the cliff if it is so high?"
Nalan Jinnian ignored him and looked around.
He must find it before the ceremony ends.
Damn it and beg again and worship for another year!
If he can't find it, he will marry the little girl tomorrow! ! !
"Support the master and go to the palace first! The king will arrive soon!"
Nalan Jinnian tightened the rope around his waist, then pulled the rope and continued to climb up neatly.
He had just pulled the rope to find it all the way down, but he didn't find it.
We can only expand the scope and search again!
The abbot of Guofu Temple thought for a while, then walked directly out of the valley and entered the palace.
He's an old man and can't stand the speed!
Nalan Jinnian grabbed the rope and jumped up neatly, his eyes searching everywhere among the dense branches and leaves.
He didn't care if his handsome face and hands were scratched by branches and rocks.

Outside the capital, somewhere in a courtyard
Di Junxian sat outside the window and looked at the sky, thoughtfully.
The injuries on his body have not fully healed, and his face looks a little pale.
A man in black walked in and saluted respectfully: "Master."
Di Junxian looked at him: "How's it going? Did you get it back?"
"Back to my master, the abbot of the Nalan Kingdom Buddhist Temple is very skilled in martial arts. His subordinates couldn't get it back, but they had already thrown it off the cliff! They will definitely not find it for a while!"
Di Junxian frowned: "If you can't bring it back, why not destroy it?"
If this is found, it will not prevent Nalan Jinnian and Princess Hui'an from getting married.
Emperor Junxian knew that during the Nalan Kingdom's heaven-sacrifice ceremony last year, the auspicious day divined by the Qintian Supervisor was an auspicious day from heaven!
Moreover, that day was enshrined in the popular Guofu Temple for so long, and received the blessings of the world. It is said that it will be a sign of a hundred years of good marriage and eternal unity!
This is not what he wants to see!
Just hearing that made him want to destroy it!
"This subordinate is incompetent. There is something strange about that peach wood box. This subordinate's skill cannot be destroyed!"
When Di Junxian heard this, he was so angry that he threw down the tea bowl on the table: "It's useless!"
The man in black lowered his head in fear and said quickly: "But my subordinates deliberately stayed at a distance for a long time. When I came back, King Jin and others had not been found. Now that the auspicious time has come, I think it is too late."
Di Junxian paused and looked at him: "King Jin?"
The man in black said hurriedly: "Yes, my subordinates were worried that they would find the mahogany box and ruin the master's good deeds, so they deliberately kept watch from a distance. Then they saw King Jin appear. He and the people from Guofu Temple were looking for it together."
A smile appeared on Di Junxian's lips: "How many people does King Jin have with him?"
"He's the only one."
