People's hearts are unpredictable, in the face of personal interests, there is no longer any love and intimacy. Man Tianyu sat up, it was already late at night. She pulled up her lap and walked over to light the candle in the room. The faint candlelight reflected on Man Tianyu's face. Night has come, and the servants in the princess's residence have also gone to sleep. She looked outside, it was already snowing. Man Tianyu sighed, reached for her robe, and was about to step out. Suddenly, something stopped her footsteps. Mo Xuanqing's robe was still hanging on the shelf, and the wind blew it away. In the past, she was too angry with Mo Xuanqing, so she forgot to return his robe.
Under the rain and snow, Man Tianyu held Mo Xuanqing's robe in her hands and slowly walked to the residence of the guard in the princess's place. It was quiet outside, everyone was fast asleep. Even the head of such a big princess, she was the only one awake. Man Tianyu originally intended to leave the robe in front of Mo Xuanqing's room and then left. Unexpectedly, when she put the cloak down on the doorstep, a sword from within was drawn straight to her neck.
"Who is it? Why go to the princess's residence?"
Mo Xuanqing's voice sounded, cold, murderous and threatening. Man Tianyu was scared, she couldn't utter a single word for a moment. The sharp blade was close to Man Tianyu's neck, she felt that as long as she continued to be silent, her head would surely leave her neck.
"It's me."
Mo Xuanqing was in the room, heard the clear sound, and pushed the window to look outside. Man Tianyu was still with his blade close to her neck, and she was sitting under the doorstep, trying to avoid his blade as far as possible. Done! Mo Xuanqing quickly withdrew his sword, he ran to open the door and saw Man Tianyu straightened up, brushing off the snow on her clothes.
"I have no intention of killing the princess. It's just that I didn't think the princess would be here at this time. May the princess forgive me."
Man Tianyu couldn't blame him. Mo Xuanqing is her close bodyguard, so it is understandable to be so vigilant. Besides, no one would have expected that the head princess of Tiandu would go to the guard's residence in the middle of the night like this just to return his robe. The more she thinks about it, the more ridiculous it is.
" Your Highness, you came to this place in the middle of the night, what happened?"
Mo Xuanqing invited her to step inside. His room was plain and simple. There is only a bamboo table, along with a bed. The rest is just a candle holder with a fireplace in the middle. Man Tianyu couldn't help but compare, how simple is Mo Xuanqing's room, then Shen Tianfeng's room is arranged neatly. Indeed, it's one hell of a difference.
"I came to give you this back."
She handed the folded robe to Mo Xuanqing. He glanced at what was in her hand, then politely took it. Man Tianyu also wanted to ask why it was so late but he still hadn't slept, but thinking about it, he and she weren't that close. Mo Xuanqing has been in the princess's residence for nearly half a month, but there is really nothing in common between the two of them. Anyway, Mo Xuanqing is the emperor's person, what else can the relationship between the two have to get better?
Man Tianyu left Mo Xuanqing's room, leaving only him in the room. Mo Xuanqing looked at the robe placed on the table, his heart was in turmoil. In the end, he grabbed the cloak and threw it directly into the fireplace. The fire burned into the fabric, burning brightly, and the smell of burning cloth punctuated the nose. Something that Man Tianyu had touched, he didn't want to use it again. He is afraid of dirt! A woman like Man Tianyu really made him feel disgusting and creepy.
It's been a long time, the head princess hasn't been this quiet. Man Tianyu sat on the sofa, slowly eating the breakfast dishes that the kitchen had just made. Tiandu is already in the spring, and the weather in the early morning is only a little chilly. The snow has also melted, walking on the road, feeling the melting snow seep into the ground, sometimes, the water drips into the collar, making people shiver from the cold. Lian Xin brought her some more cakes. This year, it is Man Tianyu who organizes the New Year's party, so her work is even more. In the end, this year, the Tiandu court will definitely change a bit, so she has to be even better.
The close eunuch of Man Hengren went to the princess's residence to discuss with her the New Year's banquet of the court. Mu Jian is the person who has followed the late two sisters and brothers Man Tianyu for a long time, of course, he knows what Man Tianyu's New Year's party will do. She sat solemnly on the sofa, slowly working out the menu with the eunuch. This menu needs to be delivered to Yu Shan Feng as soon as possible.
"Mu Jian, have you already conveyed the card to all mandarins?"
Man Tianyu flipped the paper, her quill nib glided across the paper, and the word "Revelation" was firmly established. Lian Xin was beside her, sharpening ink for her, occasionally looking at the eunuch standing next to her.
"Princess, they've all been sent."
"Even those from the south? This year's New Year's banquet, the relief work has also been completed. They are all people with the greatest merit, of course, they should be rewarded."
She dabbed some ink and continued to write down the letters one by one. No one heard Man Tianyu's intentions. At a glance, one would think that she was simply trying to reward the court officials in the south. The prolonged drought, and the fact that it took more than half a year for the government's relief treasury to reach the South, caused the Tiandu court to be in turmoil. It was not until Man Tianyu personally brought the treasury to the south of Tiandu that she was able to save the lives of the poor people living there. Although it was a bit late, at least it saved people's lives. Mu Jian took the menu back to the capital, Man Tianyu also told Lian Xin to go out. Shen Tianfeng entered Man Tianyun's room, holding a pile of books in his hand. Man Tianyu only glanced at her, and then the corner of her lips lifted slightly. The party at the beginning of this year is sure to be hectic.
Three days later, the New Year's banquet was held. This is the first banquet that Man Hengren can attend as the true emperor of Tiandu. He sits on the throne, on the left is Man Tianyu, on the right is Li Yan. The lively scene makes everyone happy. The difficulties are all over, the drought in the South has been resolved, and the people are happy and safe. Man Tianyu sat on the chair, only Shen Tianfeng accompanied her today. Everyone is used to the fact that Shen Tianfeng is always by Man Tianyu's side, there are many rumours about the real relationship between the two of them, but no one dares to talk about it. What kind of person is the head princess, everyone knows from above and below. They would lose their lives even if they were just a little careless.
"Last time, the court was troubled. If it weren't for Governor He, the court would not have been as peaceful as it is now."
Man Hengren looked at Governor He who was drinking, his expression was uncontrollably happy. When Man Tianyu heard that, she lowered her head, she fiddled with the wine cup in her hand, put it down, raised it again, and finally took a small sip. Governor He has great merit. Without his help, everyone was afraid Man Tianyu wouldn't be able to make it to the South of Tiandu by herself safely.
The governor, surnamed Ha, was praised and proud. He stood up, respectfully bowed to Man Hengren, and did not dare to accept praise. Suddenly, Man Tianyu's cold phoenix eyes glanced at him, making Governor He feel bad but also don't know why. It was only for a fleeting moment that he was frightened by the eyes of the head princess. But looking back, Man Tianyu did not look at him, she sat on high, sipping a good glass of wine in her hand, smiling and talking to the close bodyguard standing beside her.
"Now, there is not only Governor He but many more people. If it weren't for you, this princess wouldn't be able to safely go to the south to help."
Man Tianyu lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes fell, and no one could see her eyes anymore. The officials looked at each other, and everyone was happy. In this case, of course, they are the ones with merit.
"If that's the case, then this princess feels that you all need to be rewarded. Or like this, please stand up here and receive the princess's return gift."
