"It's not a big problem."
An Ruowan took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Qinghai, "Take it once in the morning and once in the evening, and your queen's headache will be cured."
After taking the medicine bottle, Shen Qinghai was particularly happy, "That's great! Thank you, Sister-in-law!"
After coming out of the dining place, An Ruowan felt that it was almost time, so he said goodbye to Chu Ziyi and Shen Qinghai, and took a carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as An Ruowan returned to the yard, Caihuan told her some news.
"Miss, my cousin has returned to Beijing and is waiting for you in the front hall!"
When she thought that Song Xunchuan had returned from the disaster area, An Ruowan couldn't wait a moment and hurriedly took Caihuan to the front hall.
Seeing Song Xunchuan drinking tea with An Zhengqian in the front hall with a smile, and sitting next to the three young masters of the An family, An Ruowan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cousin, father."
Song Xunchuan's smile deepened after seeing An Ruowan, "Wan'er, come here quickly!"
"This is the luminous pearl given by His Majesty, and the agate hairpin from the Western Regions." Song Xunchuan presented everything to An Ruowan like a treasure.
An Ruowan blinked and looked at the jade box held in Song Xunchuan's hand, "Did my cousin get a reward from His Majesty in the palace?"
"This is all for you." Song Xunchuan thrust the jade box into An Ruowan's hand and said to her with a smile: "On our way to the disaster relief, we really encountered bandits. Fortunately, I remembered what you said and had prepared those things. People are wiped out in one fell swoop!”
An Ruowan was stunned. It seemed that without Li Kui's cooperation in this life, those bandits were nothing to be afraid of.
"Thank you, cousin." An Ruowan smiled and accepted the jade box.
An Huaiying said in a strange voice next to him, "I'm just going to provide disaster relief and capture the bandits. Is there any need to come to our Prime Minister's Mansion to show off!"
"This kind of errand can be done by anyone." An Huaiying said, probably looking down on him: "But it's just a small reward, and An Ruowan is the only one you care about!"
Song Xunchuan frowned lightly, and suddenly saw An Ruowan blinking at him. He knew better and did not speak to lecture An Huaiying.
"Then you can do it. Why didn't His Majesty let you go out with the relief funds to provide relief?"
An Huaiying was speechless for a moment and glared at An Ruowan fiercely, "That's because I didn't argue with him!"
An Ruowan ignored An Huaiying and said to Song Xunchuan, "My cousin has been tired for a long day. It's better to go back and rest early."
"Okay, I will go to court tomorrow to report my work." Song Xunchuan also stood up and followed An Ruowan out.
When he reached the front yard where there was no one around, Song Xunchuan reminded An Ruowan in a low voice, "That brother of yours is not a fuel-efficient lamp. You'd better be careful."
"His bottle is less than half full. Even ten of them can't beat you. Cousin, don't worry about him." An Ruowan said calmly.
At the same time in the front hall.
After the two left, An Huaiying immediately became angry, "It's not enough for Song Xunchuan to show off in their Duke's Mansion, he's already showing off to our Prime Minister's Mansion!"
An Zhengqian snorted inexplicably, "If you guys are useful, it's your turn to show off to me!"
As the eldest brother, An Huaiyu said in a calm voice, "Father, no one does his errands, and the emperor rewards everyone who goes there. We are a family of scholars, why should we lower ourselves like him?"
After listening to An Huaiying's words, An Zhengqian nodded in agreement, "Yes, there is indeed no need for us to lower our status and invite favors like the people in the government."
An Ruowan, who came back from the front yard, heard their conversation in the front hall, she just curled her lips with a hint of ridicule, turned around and took Caihuan back to her yard.
At night, An Ruowan was watering the herbs in the backyard with spiritual spring water, and a black bird landed next to it.
An Ruowan was now accustomed to Gu Beichen's way of delivering news to her, and she even named the bird casually.
"Heizhima, did your master let you come to me again?"
The black bird, called Black Sesame, turned its head and jumped towards An Ruowan.
An Ruowan took off the note from his feet, looked at it carefully, and clutched the note with a solemn expression!
Early the next morning, An Ruowan asked Caihuan to prepare the carriage, and the two of them went to Prince Rong's mansion.
Gu Beichen's legs had fully recovered, and when An Ruowan saw him, he was telling Qingfeng to go out.
Looking up and seeing An Ruowan, Gu Beichen sat on the wheelchair with a calm expression, "Song Xunchuan came to the palace to report on his duties. He will be promoted to a higher rank in the near future. Your Majesty appreciates him very much."
This sounds like a good thing, but An Ruowan's frown did not relax, "But the prince sent a letter yesterday, saying that your majesty intends to send my cousin to the border. Why is this?"
Obviously nothing happened to Song Xunchuan in this life, why did the emperor still let him go to the border!
Seeing that An Ruowan's expression was wrong, Gu Beichen raised his eyebrows at her, "What?"
"It's okay." An Ruowan lowered her eyes to hide the emotion in her eyes.
"Brother Huang prefers Song Xunchuan, but I don't want him to lead troops out of the border."
Hearing Gu Beichen's words, An Ruowan looked up in a daze and asked, "Why?"
Gu Beichen tapped his finger on the armrest of the wheelchair, "The border seems to be in chaos, but in fact it is caused by evil spirits. The situation at the border is not clear now. Song Xunchuan is also good at using troops, trusting people and not using them."
"Although this is a benefit, in the current form, if he is sent there, he will probably never come back."
An Ruowan pursed her lips. Song Xunchuan did die in the battle at the border in his previous life. It turned out that there was such a reason.
"General Weiyuan has only recovered from his illness, so the emperor will naturally not let him lead the expedition himself."
"The Duke of Zheng will be heading to the southwest soon. Those people in the court who are following the trend are naturally unwilling to go to the border."
Gu Beichen raised his eyes and looked at An Ruowan, "If no one goes there, no matter how helpless it is, the emperor brother will only have one person to use him."
"I have a solution."
An Ruowan's eyes held deep meaning, "It's just that this method requires the prince's help."
"Oh?" Gu Beichen was a little curious, "Tell me about it."
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, come up with a move like your Majesty's, and catch all the border intruders and so-called moles in one fell swoop?"
"That's a good suggestion."
Gu Beichen raised the corners of his lips and looked at An Ruowan with a half-smile, "It seems that the princess already has someone in mind?"
An Ruowan and Gu Beichen looked at each other and said with a smile: "Of course there will be people rushing to pawn bricks, and then we will need to ask the prince to help."
The carriage from Prince Rong's Mansion brought An Ruowan back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in an honorable manner this time.
The boy at the door saw it and sneaked in to report it.
An Ruowan took Caihuan to the back garden with a worried look.
"Don't worry, miss, our young master will definitely be able to lead the expedition."
An Huaiying followed the boy to the rockery. When he heard Caihuan's words, he stood behind the rockery in surprise, not daring to take a breath!
