The house that Di Muxi was assigned was very ordinary, a wooden house with only a small part made of rubble. It was completely incomparable to the tall buildings of Yuzhao Palace, Huaqing Palace and Kunning Palace that were built with large bluestones. It was like a house where ordinary people lived, and its location was also very remote in the palace.

But even so, Bai Xiaolu was very happy, because this house was indescribably much better than the Yuzhao Palace.

"Hmmmm~"

Bai Yaoyao watched quietly from the side, smiling as she watched Lu'er busying around bringing over some important things from Yuzhao Palace, such as the quilt of very good quality.

"Lu'er still wants to sleep with me. I don't know if Di Muxi will be jealous."

Bai Yaoyao couldn't stop herself from thinking about this. What would happen if she and Lu'er had a child? Di Muxi had worked on her so many times that she already knew how to have children with girls in this world...

"Isn't that a cuckold for Di Muxi? Emmm..."

Bai Yaoyao was quite afraid of giving birth to a child, and she was just a person on a mission. Giving birth to a child in this world was no big deal.

"The palace of this Kingdom of Women is made up entirely of women. Aren't the empresses of all dynasties afraid that their concubines would cheat with their personal maids?"

This question is very profound, and it seems that it could not be avoided in the ancient times of Blue Star. There are many recorded cases of extramarital affairs, not to mention the hidden ones, and the current country of daughters where all women can mate freely.

Putting these messy thoughts deep in her heart, Bai Yaoyao straightened her dress and slowly sat down on a chair, happily looking at Lu'er who was being dressed up by the maids.

Lu'er is so cute when she is dressed up. I really want to kiss her, hug her and hold her high.

The abuse she had suffered these past few days was not in vain. At least Lu'er was fine and everything was going well. In two days, when Di Muxi got tired of her, she should have the chance to use Yi Meng Huang Liang.

However, she now feels that Yi Meng Huang Liang is of little use, as people like Di Muxi would never believe in it.

She has seen through this point. Even though she has been whitewashed so much, she still needs to be tortured. It doesn't affect her at all.

"Use it when you have the chance, but there's no need to be so persistent. Selling your body is good too."

Bai Yaoyao thought so.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and Bai Yaoyao and Bai Xiaolu touched up their makeup again. The reason why it was so grand was that on New Year's Day, all countries would send envoys to each other to express gifts and greetings, and Qi Country would naturally have envoys coming as well.

Bai Yaoyao realized this when she was touching up her makeup for the second time. She immediately burst into laughter. She also wondered if Di Muxi had other thoughts about her. It seemed that he still wanted to save face and didn't want to make things too awkward with Qi Guo.

The main reason why she was so blocked from information was that her original body was too bad. She didn't even know such common sense. No wonder she was not surprised when Lu'er was taken away to be dressed up.

"Huahua has grown so big."

Thanks to the envoy from Qi State, Bai Yaoyao successfully met Huahua. Originally two little balls the size of a palm, they looked like a fluffy black and white cat and mouse. Now they have grown to weigh more than 20 kilograms and look a bit like a little bear, and they are only three or four months old.

I don't know what I fed it, it grew so fast.

"Huahua, be good."

Bai Yaoyao gently pulled Huahua's hair. She had spent so much money, and Doctor Gu, this disciple, was quite conscientious. The hair was kept shiny and oily.

But on second thought, there is quite a lot of bamboo in Dahuang Kingdom. Dahuang Kingdom has many mountains, and just growing some bamboo would be enough for Huahua to enjoy, and it wouldn't cost much money at all.

"I can't support you."

She can hardly protect herself. If she brings Huahua with her, she might get angry one day. It would be better for her to leave the baby with Doctor Gu's apprentice. Being able to pet a panda would be one of her small wishes come true.

"Yaoyao, don't catch a cold if you wear this."

Lu'er ran over and hung a fluffy thing around Bai Yaoyao's neck.

"Well?"

Bai Yaoyao took a curious look. It was a shawl made of white fluff. It could protect the cold wind from blowing into the collar and the privacy of the neck. I didn't know what animal's fur it was. It felt a little itchy on my face, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was even a little comfortable.

"Yaoyao, this is the hair of a white fox. It's so precious."

How could Lu'er have the white fox's fur?

Facing Bai Yaoyao's inquiring gaze, Bai Xiaolu said with a smile: "This was sent by a palace maid. She said it was a reward from His Majesty. It is said that every concubine has one."

So that's how it is. Di Muxi is really good at superficial work.

Chapter 47: Carrier Pigeon

"This is the princess of your Qi country. What's wrong? Our Dahuang army is strong. How could we be short of food and clothing for your princess?"

"Yes, yes, the Great Huang Women's Kingdom has always been the country we long for."

The envoy from Qi State flattered the emperor with a fawning look on his face, and kept leaning his head out to see the princess' condition.

The most important thing for her to come here this time was that she heard from her spies in Dahuang that Her Royal Highness the Princess was suffering here, and sometimes she even had not enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Now it seems that her conditions are quite good, and she is wearing ice silk clothes. She just doesn't know if they will perform for her.

"Hey, His Majesty has ordered that His Majesty's concubines are not allowed to get too close to the outside world. Regardless of whether they are men or women, once they marry His Majesty, they are already His Majesty's people. I hope the envoy will not break the rules."

The female official stopped the envoy from Qi State and her extremely cold voice instantly dispelled the envoy's thoughts.

"OK then."

Monthly fee? Group! ,8''5:,7;,6.;63 The envoy of Qi country sighed. She was a woman specially selected by His Majesty to serve as an envoy to the Dahuang Women's Kingdom, but she was still not allowed to approach.

He took another look from a distance, and with his excellent eyesight he could tell that Her Royal Highness the Princess looked fine, and didn't look like she was being tortured.

The current situation is very complicated. In her private conversation with His Majesty, she mentioned that there seems to be a mysterious force in this world that is constantly inciting hatred among various countries and plotting unknown events.

It is possible that the princess's information was false.

"I hope the backhand will work."

The envoy from Qi State sighed again and turned away helplessly. She still had many things to do, including communicating with the Queen of Dahuang about some cooperation intentions conveyed in the letter.

………………

In the afternoon, near dusk, the family gathering began. It is a unique custom of the Dahuang Women's Kingdom. Basically, the emperor and concubines are dressed extremely exquisitely and sit in the main hall. At the same time, nobles from various royal palaces will gather together to welcome the new festival. The Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the two major palaces are both giant palaces that can accommodate thousands of people for dinner.

These large palaces are rarely used except for ancestor worship.

The side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the concubines have their meals, and the concubines' personal maids can also enjoy some of the exquisite meals.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a large number of officials, nobles and foreign guests are entertained here. Don't think there is no threshold just because of the large number of officials. In fact, no one can even step into the door unless they are third-rank officials. The standard of dining in the Hall of Preserving Harmony is completely downgraded. Only ordinary female officials in the palace and some remaining minor officials in the imperial city dine here. There is no threshold, but over the years, an unwritten rule has been formed, which is that no official other than the sixth rank is allowed to enter.

"These sisters are pretty too."

At the banquet, Bai Yaoyao finally met several other concubines. Needless to say, they were all beautiful, but each had her own merits. One of them could be considered a natural beauty with a score of over 80, which was a little different from her and Shi Xin who had a score of over 95, but not by much. If they were on Blue Star, they would definitely be internet celebrities with hundreds of fans.

"My goodness, is this person not yet an adult?"

After taking a quick look around, Bai Yaoyao found a concubine who seemed to be a sixth-rank imperial concubine. She looked very young and cute, and was half a head shorter than Lu'er, probably only a little over 1.5 meters tall.

Her style is very similar to that of the previous world, except that she is still not cute enough and her movements are far from being cute.

Bai Yaoyao gently poked Lu'er's arm beside her and pointed her finger in that direction.

Bai Xiaolu immediately understood what he meant and quickly explained, "She is Wu Dong Ling, a sixth-rank imperial concubine. Her family is a very ordinary small trader with less than a thousand taels of wealth. It is said that because she looks too young, she is not very popular with His Majesty."

Di Muxi doesn’t like ones that are too small?

Bai Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. This should not refer to that little one but that little one. She has been slept with so many times but still doesn't understand Di Muxi's hobbies. It's just that she thinks the little loli is too peaceful and boring.

You really don’t understand the happiness of a little girl at all!

Di Muxi is so vulgar. She doesn't understand the feeling of having someone softly lying on your body and calling you sister. It's really wonderful.

"But Lu'er is still the cutest!"

Bai Yaoyao tilted her head and looked to the side. Lu'er, the little foodie trained by her original body, also began to eat with relish.

After being specially dressed up, Lu'er wore cute hairpins on both sides of her head, and the hair accessories on her temples were also cute double buns. Her face was lightly made up, and with the not-too-bright light, she looked exceptionally beautiful, as if a layer of filter and beauty was added.

Especially the way his cheeks bulged out, it really touched her little heart.

Especially Lu'er would stick to her and call her Yaoyao or princess in a cute way.

"It would be great if the target of the mission in this world was Lu'er. Such a cute girl would definitely be easy to please."

Bai Yaoyao thought so and kept stuffing some cold food into her mouth. In this winter, no matter how fast the dishes were served, they would still get cold by the time they were in front of the customers. It would be much better if the whole steamer was used and some coals were placed underneath for heating.

During the meal, Bai Yaoyao suddenly felt that something was missing. She looked around a few times and realized that Concubine Shi was not there. She must have been taken to the front hall by Di Muxi. She guessed that if this child was really born, Concubine Shi would not be far from the position of empress.

"Never mind her. It's better not to see her. She won't slap me when we meet."

Bai Yaoyao secretly made a note in her little notebook. She had not forgotten this and would slap him back double sooner or later if she had the chance.

…………

The banquet would last for a long time, so the concubines could leave early, but Bai Yaoyao ran away after filling her stomach. She was definitely the fastest runner. No matter what others said, Bai Yaoyao just wanted to take off the heavy headdress on her head, especially the hair chain on her forehead that was glued on with something and kept dangling in front of her eyes. Although Lu'er said it was very beautiful, it was really annoying.

After returning to the residence, Bai Yaoyao took off a lot of cumbersome decorations with the help of her maid, and finally removed her makeup. When they were ready to go to bed, Lu'er sneaked back into the house.

"Shh~"

Bai Xiaolu took out a small cylinder made of unknown material, put it to his mouth and blew gently, making a very subtle and strange sound. Then after a while, a little white dove suddenly flew into the window and lay in Bai Xiaolu's palm.

"Is this... a carrier pigeon?"

Bai Yaoyao's eyes widened. Could this kind of thing really exist? Would it appear when a whistle was blown?

"The envoy from Qi country has arrived recently, otherwise there would be no way to pass the news outside."

Bai Xiaolu carefully pulled out a thin roll of letter paper from under the pigeon's feet, looked at it for a while, handed it to the princess, and sneered, "Oh, the Queen of Dahuang has really been preventing the envoy from contacting you, the princess, for fear of disrupting the cooperation."

Chapter 48 The Second Mission Point

"cooperate?"

Bai Yaoyao was slightly stunned. Dahuang and Qi are still cooperating? Didn't they just fight half a year ago? They are still cooperating. Even if they are cooperating, Dahuang should be the one pressing Qi's head to sign the cooperation agreement. From Lu'er's expression, it seems that Qi is the dominant party.

Then he looked down at the contents of the small note that Lu'er handed over. It basically asked about her condition, reported that everything was fine at home and there was no need to worry, and vaguely mentioned some recent cooperation matters. He wanted to ask her opinion.

Although the note is small, it contains a huge amount of information.

Bai Xiaolu noticed the princess's confusion, so she leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Princess, we at Daqi have also planted a lot of people in the palace, and we know some of your rumors and experiences. Recently, Dahuang seems to be undergoing reforms, and is in urgent need of various resources, especially food, and is seeking to cooperate with us."

"Lack of food?"

Bai Yaoyao suddenly realized that most of the fields in Dahuang Kingdom only had one or two crops a year, and less than one-third of the land could be harvested twice a year. On the other hand, all the fields in Qi Kingdom could be harvested twice a year, and the southernmost fields close to the sea even had three crops a year. So in comparison, it was normal for Di Muxi to be short of food and need to import a large amount of food from Qi Kingdom.

But according to her, it seems that Qi State paid a lot of grain as compensation. Besides, Dahuang's military force is so strong, even if Qi State refuses to cooperate, Dahuang can just fight another war, right?

But soon, Lu'er answered her questions.

"Princess, you don't know that the resistance of the princes in Dahuang is very fierce. Even the gentry class is very restless. Many troops have been transferred to places beyond the control of the central government to suppress the princes and gentry. Even the troops in Fengchang Plain and stationed in Lanxiang have been forced to withdraw more than half."

Bai Yaoyao knew that Fengchang Plain was the large grassland that came out of Qi State and bordered Dahuang. It had always been a huge supplier of meat, eggs and milk to Qi State. After the compensation, Dahuang planned to raise horses and train cavalry.

Lanxiang is the throat fortress leading to Dahuang State. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. A long mountain range blocks the prairie behind it. Once a breakthrough is made from Lanxiang, the endless plains of Qi State will be trampled upon.

Of course, in the last war, Qi State had already compensated Lanxiang to Dahuang Women's Kingdom.

It turns out that the situation in the Dahuang Women's Kingdom has become so serious?

Bai Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly, but it was understandable. You have to know that ten years ago, the Dahuang Women's Kingdom was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and any country could come to trample on it. A large number of women were lost or abducted.

And Di Muxi established an army and a reasonable system in such a country. Although the army was about to drag down the empire, it finally made a name for itself.

However, it is estimated that Di Muxi is not in a hurry to carry out reforms, and Qi State probably cannot be tough enough. But from another perspective, if Di Muxi does not speed up the process, Qi State, which is rich and powerful, will have even less chance to develop.

"Speaking of which, the Qinghe River in the Dahuang Women's Country and the women's body-building methods can effectively improve physical fitness, otherwise such a special country would not have been formed."

Bai Yaoyao has been idle in Kunning Palace recently and has figured out the composition of the Dahuang Women's Kingdom. The female women she mentioned are those who do not drink the water of Qinghe River (no different from the women in normal countries). Otherwise, even if they do not learn the body refining method, their physical fitness will be improved after drinking the water of Qinghe River. This is the fundamental factor that led to the emergence of the Dahuang Women's Kingdom in this area.

"The laws of the world are different now. It's amazing that the water from a river can improve a woman's physical quality."

"Hey, Yaoyao, why are you in a daze?"

"Well."

Bai Yaoyao came back to her senses and saw Lu'er holding a very small brush and handing it to her.

"Write down any injustice Yaoyao has suffered here. Father loves Yaoyao so much, he will definitely help Yaoyao get revenge."

"Well--"

As soon as Bai Yaoyao took the pen, the system prompt sounded in her mind. After listening carefully for a while, she realized that the system wanted her to write good words in this hard-earned message and try her best to promote the cooperation between Dahuang and Qi.

"We still have to help that guy Di Muxi."

Bai Yaoyao understood after thinking about it. If her original body had not been poisoned on the road, and had been tortured beyond recognition by Di Muxi when she came here, and had written a letter of complaint, then the result was obvious. As long as Qi State was unwilling to export grain, and Di Muxi was too busy to handle all the other tasks without enough grain and unable to circulate money and grain in the country, then work-for-relief would probably be difficult to implement.

And if they could not attack Qi State again, the domestic unrest would overthrow the empress Di Muxi.

But if she just said all the nice things, her father, mother and brothers who doted on her very much would easily agree to the demands of the Dahuang Women's Kingdom and help it overcome this difficulty.
