At this moment, the Second Prince came to the side courtyard to look for Qin Xiaoyao.
He happened to see the official court robe that the palace attendants had sent over to Qin Xiaoyao.
The Second Prince was truly happy for Qin Xiaoyao as he looked at the exquisite official court robe of a Lieutenant General.
“This is the first time that a woman has joined the army and risen in ranks to become a Lieutenant General.
“If you wear this official court robe, Teacher, you will definitely look very charming.”
Qin Xiaoyao simply smiled.
“How charming can I be if I’m wearing official court robe? It’s good enough as long as it fits me,” she replied casually.
The Second Prince was a little disappointed to see Qin Xiaoyao was pretending not to understand his hint again.
“Try it on. If it doesn’t fit, we can inform the palace and have it amended quickly,” he said.
“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao answered.
Then, she looked at the Second Prince.
When he saw that Qin Xiaoyao didn’t move, the realization hit the Second Prince.
“I… I’ll wait for you outside.” With that, he turned around and went out.
After the Second Prince left, Qin Xiaoyao asked the maid to help her change her outer clothes.
That was right. The official court robe was worn on the outside, so she only needed to take off her outer clothes before trying on the robe.
If this was in her previous life, she wouldn’t have felt anything was wrong if she changed her clothes in front of others.
However, this was the ancient times, and the Second Prince always seemed to want to flirt with her, whether intentionally or otherwise, so she had to take special care.
She was an honest person and only liked her husband. All the other charming and flirtatious sluts could forget about seducing her.
At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao put on her clothes even more quickly.
Before long, she had changed into her official court robe.
As she looked at the tall figure in the bronze mirror and heard the palace maid praising her, Qin Xiaoyao was quite pleased with the official court robe she was wearing.
After admiring herself in the mirror for a while, she asked the palace maid to invite the Second Prince in.
When the Second Prince entered the room, he was stunned to see Qin Xiaoyao in her official court attire.
Sure enough, Teacher was different from the other women. Her unique bearing became even more apparent when she wore men’s clothes or formal attire.
“Not bad. It fits you very well! This Lieutenant General’s uniform can really bring out the best in you, Teacher,” the Second Prince complimented her.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and looked down at the official court robe she was wearing again. She felt more even more pleased.
“Mm-hmm! The size is just right,” she replied.
“Your Highness, please wait for a moment. Your humble servant will come out after changing out of the official court robe,” Qin Xiaoyao continued after a while.
The Second Prince was taken aback momentarily.
Thereafter, he smiled and left the inner room again.
As he walked, he was pondering something.
He would have to ask the housekeeper to help buy more new clothes for Teacher.
Teacher was still a woman, after all. It was obvious that she really liked that new official court robe.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly changed out of her court attire and into the clothes she was wearing previously. After that, she went out to meet the Second Prince.
Ordinary clothes were not as complicated as the official court robe, and they were much lighter and more efficient to wear.
Apart from the joy of wearing new clothes, Qin Xiaoyao felt that simple clothes still suited her better.
In the outer room, when the Second Prince saw Qin Xiaoyao coming out, he smiled.
Then, he sat down and briefed Qin Xiaoyao on the visit to the palace to attend the court session tomorrow.
“When the time comes, you can travel with me and just stand behind me.
“I’ll be there to take care of everything. Don’t worry,” the Second Prince said.
“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
“In addition, you’ve just arrived in the capital and are now in the heart of the most turbulent wind and waves. There are many people who want to test you.”
The Second Prince looked at Qin Xiaoyao as he spoke.
“They are not just testing you, but also testing me.
“After all, you hailed from my army. Now, in their eyes, you’re one of my people.” At this point, the Second Prince’s eyes flickered slightly.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression froze momentarily.
Then, she pretended not to get the hint again.
“Then, 1 won’t be going out to socialize for the time being.” She had only just arrived in the capital, but she had already received many invitations.
Most of the invitations came from the army, but there were also some from the civilian court officials.
In order to find her husband as soon as possible, she had thought of accepting the invitations and going out for some networking.
However, since the Second Prince had implicitly advised against this, she would have to wait for a while.
After all, if someone with ulterior motives knew that she was looking for her husband, it might put her husband in danger.
The Second Prince nodded, satisfied with Qin Xiaoyao’s answer.
“Your Highness, now that you have already put aside your border duties and returned to the capital, the matter of searching for my husband…” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly said.
So far, her greatest hope of finding her husband still depended on the Second Prince.
The Second Prince was taken aback.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already made arrangements. I believe there will be news soon,” he said.
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao’s expression change to one of joy after hearing his words, the Second Prince felt a little downcast.
Was he really that bad compared to Song Que?
Oh no. Could it be that he was inferior when compared to Song Que?
Didn’t they say that most women in the world were vain and pursued wealth and glory?
His status was more noble than Song Que’s, and he held more power and authority.
Apart from that, even if one were to judge on appearances, his looks were not inferior to Song Que’s. Of course, his appearance was more masculine, which was different from Song Que’s.
Could it be that he had lost because of this aspect?
Well, fine. If Teacher only liked men with feminine looks, he could only admit defeat.
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Qin Xiaoyao quickly thanked him.
The Second Prince felt another wave of disappointment in his heart.
However, he quickly set aside his sense of disappointment and continued to tell Qin Xiaoyao about the things she needed to pay attention to.
Qin Xiaoyao also listened attentively and made mental notes.
She was a newcomer, so she had to listen to her seniors in order to do better in this social circle.
After resting for a day, Qin Xiaoyao followed the Second Prince into the palace early in the morning.
Upon entering the palace, they passed through several palace gates before entering the Hall of Court Affairs.
Qin Xiaoyao was like a curious newbie along the way. As she peered around, she was amazed by the luxury of the ancient palace.
Indeed, it was more astounding when she saw the place with her own eyes than when she saw it on television.
Not long after that, Qin Xiaoyao and the Second Prince arrived at the Hall of Court Affairs.
“His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress have arrived…” As the eunuch made the announcement, the previously somewhat lively and noisy Hall of Court Affairs instantly quieted down.
The officials stood in line according to their civil and military ranks and bowed in respect in the direction of the Dragon Throne.
“May the Emperor live for tens of thousands of years! May the Empress live for thousands of years!”
Qin Xiaoyao, who was standing behind the Second Prince, also followed the officials and called out and lowered her head in greeting.
“Haha! All ministers, you may rise.” A slightly aged voice rang out from the direction of the Dragon Throne, but it sounded like the speaker was in a good mood.
“Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Royal Highness!” the courtiers responded.
Only then did they straighten up.
Qin Xiaoyao took the opportunity to get a good look at the two people on the Dragon Throne.
That was right. There were two people.
The current Emperor’s health was not good, and Empress Jia had accompanied him to court. In fact, she had even attended court alone on behalf of the current Emperor for many years.
It could be said that Empress Jia had sat on this Dragon Throne in the Imperial Court for even longer than the current Emperor.
Qin Xiaoyao lowered her head after a quick glance.
She thought to herself, “The Emperor is really not in good health. His complexion looks like he has been suffering from a serious sickness for a long time.”
Empress Jia’s condition was better. At least, she looked much more energetic than the Emperor.
“This must be the most important hero of our Great Jin State’s resistance against the Liao State, our ‘Great Jin State’s God of Massacre’!” The Emperor’s gaze quickly fell on Qin Xiaoyao..
