In the evening, the motorcade arrived at the palace.
The inns along the way were prepared for court officials, while the palace was built for royal family members to travel, and the Assab royal family could stay directly.
Although the palace is not as luxurious as the imperial palace, it is much more comfortable than staying at the inn.
The palace people here have already received the news and have prepared a sumptuous dinner in advance so that they can eat it as soon as they arrive at the palace.
King Assab and King Qin sat at the same table, and the other ministers were at the same table. Naturally, Cheng Wanwan ate with the queen.
"Wanwan, delicious."
The queen said in broken Dayu language.
She was originally called Mrs. Sui, but the word "Dayu Guo" was too convoluted to pronounce. She didn't learn it after studying for an entire afternoon. In the end, she decided to call her "Wanwan". Firstly, it was easier to pronounce, and secondly, she seemed more approachable.
Cheng Wanwan replied in Dayu Mandarin: "This dish is called three-pot chicken stew, the pot of pot, the chicken of chicken and duck..."
The Queen carefully pronounced the words like a parrot and then remembered them firmly.
After the meal, the queen learned the names of several dishes and some daily expressions used at the dinner table.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun in early August slowly fell from the skyline with a trace of residual warmth.
In the side courtyard of the palace, Zhao Sanniu and King Qin were competing in martial arts.
The queen chatted casually in Assab: "I have been in Dayu for a while, and I heard that King Qin seems to be in his thirties and has not yet married?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "In the early years, the Queen Mother and the Emperor helped to organize things, but in the past two years they have just let it go."
"My eldest daughter is eighteen years old this year and is not yet married." A smile appeared on the queen's face. "When we get to Assab, let the eldest princess meet King Qin. If..."
She was only halfway through her words when Tinggu, who was standing behind her, lowered her eyebrows and said submissively: "Has the Queen forgotten that Prince Yali intends to marry Princess Liuli to King Qin of the Dayu Dynasty?"
The queen's expression suddenly changed: "Master is talking, how can you be qualified to interrupt?"
Tinggu was not afraid at all, she still lowered her head and said: "Old slave just reminds the queen that she doesn't do bad things with good intentions."
The queen clenched the veil in her hand angrily.
Because she and the king were suppressed, the princess's status was not as good as that of a princess, and she lived a very miserable life.
She was a majestic queen, but she was beaten by the nuns around her from time to time. She had lived like this for more than ten years.
She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "You all stand down."
Tinggu knew very well that one should not push people into a hurry, so for her own good, she left the courtyard with a group of people waiting beside her.
The queen pursed her lips and took deep breaths to adjust her emotions.
Cheng Wanwan sat on the edge, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
For a nun to be so arrogant, this shows how lawless Prince Yali is.
It’s no wonder that the king and queen of Assab traveled thousands of miles to Dayu to seek help.
"We can't keep the people around the queen." Cheng Wanwan raised her eyes and spoke slowly, "When we get to Assab, we will have to discuss important matters. Keeping these people will bring great hidden dangers."
The queen smiled bitterly: "The first time the king sent people, I drove them away forcefully. I drove one away and sent two. It was useless."
"Then let's try again." Cheng Wanwan smiled, "Since you have decided to take back the military power, you will have to face each other sooner or later, so why not practice with the few people around you first?"
The queen raised her eyes and looked at the eight personal attendants standing at the door of the courtyard.
Even though they were so far away, those eight people would not let her go, watching her every move, and then went back to report to Prince Yali.
If she didn't even dare to deal with these eight people, how could she help the king regain his military power?
She looked at Cheng Wanwan and said firmly: "Wanwan thinks, what should I do to win with one move?"
"It's a long way from Dayu to Assab. It's normal to get sick on the way." Cheng Wanwan took out a paper bag from her sleeve and quietly stuffed it into the queen's hand, "While they are sick, Promote a few low-level girls to come up, and when they get better, everything will be a foregone conclusion."
The queen squeezed the medicine bag tightly and nodded vigorously without asking what medicine it was.
When Cheng Wanwan woke up the next morning, she heard from Mrs. Qi that the eight servants around the queen were all sick, with constant vomiting and diarrhea.
The queen was kind and allowed these eight people to stay in the palace to recuperate. However, these eight people climbed out of bed and insisted on going back to Assab with them. Therefore, the king arranged a carriage alone and packed the eight sick people into it. He went in and let the carriage follow far behind the convoy on the grounds that he was worried that his illness would spread to others.
The queen selected four people from among the maids at the lowest level, and asked these four people to take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Wanwan, thank you."
The queen held Cheng Wanwan's hand and thanked her sincerely.
She really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly and that the eight people would be sent away so easily.
Cheng Wanwan shook his head: "The main purpose of Dayu Kingdom's trip to Assab this time is to assist the king and queen in seizing power. This is my duty, so why do I need to say thank you?"
She paused and continued, "Since the queen has promoted her own people, she must protect these four little maids. If anything happens to them, no one will be willing to stay with the queen in the future."
The queen nodded: "I will remember what Wanwan said."
She spent so much time in Dayu Country and heard a lot about Mrs. Sui's deeds. They all said that Mrs. Sui was smart and decisive. After getting along with her, she found that it was indeed the case. She was not a smart person, so just listen to the words of smart people. Mrs. Sui will definitely not let her suffer.
The carriage drove smoothly, getting further and further away from the capital.
The further north you go, the more you can see the unique landforms of the north, and large expanses of grassland slowly come into view.
During the lunch break, Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but want to see the scenery of the grassland.
Zhao Sanniu brought a docile horse over: "Mom, get on the horse, and I will take you for a run on the grassland."
He knew that my mother liked to see the beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery here was so picturesque that she would be very happy if she could be the center of the scenery.
King Qin came on horseback and said, "I'll go too."
"Then the queen and I will do the same."
The king was riding on a horse and pulled the queen onto the horse. The two of them rode on the same horse. It was obvious from a glance that the relationship between the couple was very harmonious.
He Xiao followed far behind, asking the guards to stay alert and pay attention to the surrounding movements.
Ruan Mingzhu was among the guards. She was almost depressed to death. She sneaked in as a guard, so she had to abide by various rules.
She also wanted to gallop on the grassland with her horse, and she also wanted to chat with Mrs. Sui every day... However, she did not dare to disobey the military order for fear of being driven back by General Zhaoyong.
The path you choose must be completed with tears in your eyes.
The scenery on the grassland is unique, with large green grass growing lushly, cattle and sheep grazing freely on the grassland, white clouds lingering in the distance, and several horses galloping freely under the blue sky.
The wind whizzed past my ears, fresh air entered my lungs, and the turbid air in my heart was swept away, and my whole person became empty.
After running around on the grassland, Cheng Wanwan's mental state was completely different. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
"The snow on the grassland is more beautiful." The queen said with a smile, "It snows in Assab every October. You should be able to see it in Wanwan. Then, I will take you to see the snowfield in Assab. It is really beautiful. So beautiful."
Cheng Wanwan looked forward to it.
After running a few laps, the group began to walk back slowly.
Everyone was sweating and went back to the carriage to change clothes.
The queen discovered that the four little maids she had just promoted were missing.
