A beautiful couch was placed in the yard, and Xue Qingyin lay on it for a while to bask in the sun.

Nong Xia was a little Ai Ai in the future, and she didn't know how to make the girl feel better...

"Princess, Mrs. Liu is asking for a meeting." The voice of the guard rang outside the door.

"Madam Liu?"

"Well, it's the wife of County Magistrate Liu."

Xue Qingyin sat up slowly: "Oh, maybe I'm here to thank me and invite someone in."

Soon after, Mrs. Liu was invited into the door.

Although she was just the wife of the little county magistrate, she did not seem timid, but instead showed a bit of rough and refreshing.

"The civilian woman greets the princess." She saluted respectfully, then raised her head and said, "I have made some Xingzhou snacks, but I wonder if the princess can eat it?"

She said that, and looked carefully at Xue Qingyin's abdomen.

A kind light leaps in my eyes.

County Magistrate Liu is not young anymore, so Mrs. Liu is naturally in her forties and nearly fifty years old.

He is older than Xu Zhi.

It would be not inconsistent if you would look at Xue Qingyin with such a look.

When Xue Qingyin was seen by her, she remembered... Oh, she had been away from the capital for some time and had forgotten.

Find a good day and it will be gone.

Otherwise, it would be a big trouble.

"What are you doing? I think it's edible." Xue Qingyin said to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly knelt in front of her, opened the food box and said, "It's all walnut cakes, scoops, chestnuts, black chickens and other things."

Xue Qingyin winked at Nongxia, and Nongxia went over to help Mrs. Liu up.

Other palace ladies also brought stools for her.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile, thinking that Princess Xuan is really a lenient and easy-to-talk person.

The palace people held new plates and moved the food inside out.

Before Xue Qingyin could start to pick up a piece, the personal guard came again.

He leaned into the door and lowered his voice and said, "Princess, Your Majesty has sent someone to Xingzhou, waiting outside, look at this..."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty sent someone? Then...that the civilian woman first..."

Xue Qingyin looked at Nong Xia: "Take Mrs. Liu into the house and wait."

Nong Xia responded: "Yes."

The guard spoke out: "The person outside..."

"Bring it in."

"yes!"

There are two doors in this yard. The guards came to the outer door and their eyes were wandering past these people.

"The princess tells you to go in." said the guard.

The man in the lead was named Dou Jianhong. As soon as he stepped in, the remaining people followed him.

"Wait." The guard stopped him, "One person can only go in."

"This brother, we are on the order of Your Majesty..."

"It's not that I'm not allowed you to go in, I can only go in one. Why? He is not your leader? He just replied alone!" The guard turned cold.

Dou Jianhong quickly supported the arm of the guard and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just go in alone. There is a difference between men and women, so it's so inconvenient. If it weren't for Your Majesty's order, he would never dare to come to the princess."

The personal guard's expression was a little slow, and then he led the way.

"Dou Jianhong, the captain of the Xingyuan Prefecture, paid homage to Princess Xuan!" The middle-aged man bowed and bowed.

"Get up." Xue Qingyin spit out a word, holding the walnut cake that she had taken a bite in her hand.

The palace ladies tried it for her just now, it was non-toxic.

Dou Jianhong straightened his waist when he heard the sound and saw a stunning beauty appearing in his eyes.

The crimson silk skirt, the hanging bun is close to the ears, outlining the face more delicately.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a little funny.

This Princess Xuan is really too leisurely. It turns out to be a woman, but she doesn’t know the cruelty of the Yizhou battlefield...

Xue Qingyin was also looking at Dou Jianhong at this moment.

The forehead is wide and flat, describing it as a square, wearing soft armor, dressed in a general. A waist card is hung around the waist card, and the waist card is rotating, and you can vaguely see the words "ling" and "fu" on it.

"You sent by Your Majesty?" Xue Qingyin asked with a narrowed eyes.

"Yes." Dou Jianhong responded, neither humble nor arrogant.

"When did Your Majesty get the letter?" Xue Qingyin asked again.

"Two days ago, I just got the letter and ordered me to come nearby."

"What words do you tell me and Your Highness?"

"I just say that it is a Meng tribe invasion. The Meng tribe is cruel, so don't act rashly. I also ordered us to find out the situation and pass it back so that the court can dispatch troops."

"Didn't you ask Your Highness to raise his troops to Yizhou to stop him?"

"Didn't you say... Are Your Highness gone? I heard that the officials of Xingzhou said."

"You are all garrisons of Xingyuan Mansion? You are still a lieutenant, and you are quite a lieutenant."

"I dare not take it for you. I am doing things for the court. How can I make a difference between big and small? With the order from Your Majesty, we must set off immediately."

"I have always heard that Xingyuan Army is very brave, and I really admire it. By the way, you have any precedents of fighting with the Meng clan, right?"

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that Your Majesty sent us to come first."

Xue Qingyin spoke very quickly, and answered one by one with the man named Dou Jianhong in front of her.

Xue Qingyin touched the bright red kohl on her fingertips and whispered: "Since that's the case, your highness has just set off for a while, so Captain Dou will immediately lead someone to follow."

Dou Jianhong nodded: "I will send someone to follow me, and I will also send someone to Beijing to report."

"Well? Captain Dou won't go?"

"Your Majesty remembered that the princess had been poisoned, so he ordered me to protect her by her side."

Xue Qingyin smiled: "Will that prevent Captain Dou from making achievements? I really feel sorry for it."

"As a minister, it is really his duty. How can there be a saying that hinders?"

Xue Qingyin nodded and said, "Give her seat."

Dou Jianhong suddenly showed a look of flattery, but the palace servant had already brought him a brocade stool, so he had to sit down.

"Cause?" Xue Qingyin reached out and plucked the plate in front of her.

The bone porcelain plate is white, which is in sharp contrast to the color of the elixir on her fingertips.

Dou Jianhong looked down and was stunned again.

"It's not easy for Captain Dou to travel all the way. I guess he's thirsty and hungry. Have some food." Xue Qingyin tilted her head and smiled, her posture lazy and relaxed.

Dou Jianhong clenched his palm and then picked up the walnut cake: "Thank you for the reward of the princess."

When Xue Qingyin saw that he had eaten, she showed a brighter smile.

This smile made Dou Jianhong feel uncomfortable all over.

Xue Qingyin didn't want to send him down yet, so she slapped her hands and asked, "How old is Captain Dou? Do you have a wife and children?"

Dou Jianhong's eyes were dazed: "There was...and later died of war."

"Oh?" Xue Qingyin straightened her waist, "So, Captain Dou is now a widower and alone?"

"...Yes." Dou Jianhong couldn't guess what Princess Xuan wanted to do.

Even the personal guards and palace servants on the side were confused.

Why is the princess so concerned about this person alone?

Although he is a middle-aged man, he is actually an underground and in the sky compared to His Highness Xuan.

Xue Qingyin suddenly stood up: "I have a talisman that I forgot to let Your Highness take with me. Captain Dou will let his subordinates take it away in a while. When he catches up with Your Highness Xuan, he will hand it over to him in person."

Dou Jianhong responded: "Yes."

Then he raised his eyes and watched Xue Qingyin walk into the house to get the talisman paper.

On the other side, Sima Qiu was still sitting in the original position, frowning.

The governor couldn't help but ask: "What? Are you worried about the matter in Yizhou? With King Xuan here, the war will not spread to our Xingzhou."
