Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We don’t mind that you walk slowly.” Ye Zhao pouted.
“But I don’t like it,” Ye Muyu said as she touched the plate. “Hurry up and eat more.”
“Let’s just forget about this matter. With her status as a princess, she can go overboard with . She has the right to be willful, don’t you think so?”
“Alright, don’t overthink it. I’ll definitely protect myself.”
“And you must not tell Chu Heng about this!” Ye Muyu warned worriedly.
Ye Zhao’s lips moved. He wanted to say sothing but was afraid that his sister would be angry, so he agreed reluctantly in the end.
“Sis, I went to the county town this afternoon and found a few strangers in the county town. They seed to be traveling businessn from other places.” Ye Zhao had not been idle during this period of ti. He would go around if he had nothing to do. If there were a business, he would do it.
He had also received so work.
“Luoping County is close to Luoping Pass, and it’s also close to the west of Great Xia. Not only is there so yellow sand, but the soil is also dry. It’s not a good place, and there aren’t any special products. Why are there so many traveling rchants here?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.
Ye Zhao shook his head. “I don’t know either. I heard from those traveling rchants that there’s news that there’s a copper mine here, so they all ca to ask for information.”
“Copper mine? Why haven’t I heard of it?” Luoping County was under the command of the Shen family’s army and the county magistrate basically did not have much of a presence.
Moreover, there was still the Marquis.
If there really were news, there would have been news in the military camp long ago.
“That’s right. I also find it strange. I don’t know why there are such rumors. I asked those traveling rchants, but they couldn’t say anything. They just said that everyone was spreading it. As for who started it, no one knows.” Ye Zhao scratched his head, indicating that he did not know.
Ye Muyu pondered. Although it was a copper mine and not an iron mine, it was still a mine.
As the saying goes, salt and iron were sensitive topics for the emperor. Even if Emperor Mingzong was gentle, he would definitely be ruthless when it ca to sensitive topics.
“You should go to the county more often these few days. I don’t think this rumor is a good thing.”
Ye Muyu had an intuition and felt a little uneasy.
Ye Zhao nodded and said that he understood.
At night, Ye Muyu took a good bath and slept comfortably. She woke up early the next morning.
“Madam, will you be wearing your riding outfit?” Su i asked as she combed her hair.
Ye Muyu nodded. “Yeah, riding clothes are more convenient. I’m used to wearing riding clothes these days, so I’m more agile.”
“Madam, you were supposed to eat tea and listen to the opera in the inner residence. You shouldn’t have to work hard everywhere.” Su i muttered.
“Alright, I want to eat rice noodles in the morning. Is it ready?”
“Alright, Madam. Speaking of which, the rice noodles brought from our place are very convenient. They only need hot water to cook them. It’s really convenient and tastes very good.” Su i thought of the inconvenience in the military camp and asked, “Madam, do you want to bring so rice noodles over? If you’re hungry at night, you can just heat it up and eat it. It’ll be very convenient, and you won’t have to ask the soldiers in the military camp for too much firewood.”
Ye Muyu patted her head. “I would have forgotten if you hadn’t ntioned it. I’ve been letting Mother and the others eat the food in the military camp.”
“Then bring more over. Oh right, bring so rice and firewood too. It’s best not to trouble others.”
“Yes.”
After dinner…
Ye Muyu went to the Marquis’ residence to wait.
