Chapter 687: The Imperial Order

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Jin did not show up. Xiao Jin had once made the vow that as long as Zhou Huailing was still in the capital and in charge of civil affairs, he would never step into the city. And he was keeping his own words. So when he was done with his business, he asked Sword Three to pa.s.s on the report to Gu Chaoyan.

When Gu Chaoyan saw Sword Three, she was slightly surprised.

Had they finished checking the 15 towns of the Feather Mulberry Land within such a short period?

She had thought that they would not return until the New Year and after Spring Hunt, but she had not expected that they would return so fast. In this way, they were able to celebrate the New Year at home.

“I will go and visit Xiao Jin now,” Gu Chaoyan said.

“No need, Elder Miss,” Sword Three said with a smile. “Xiao Jin said that you can probably read what he has gotten for you and if you have any more questions, you can go to him. If what he has gotten for you is enough, you don’t have to travel around in winter! That is too painstaking!”

That was exactly what Xiao Jin said, Sword Three just pa.s.sed on the message.

Sword Three was a calm person who barely smiled, but when Xiao Jin was mentioned, he smiled very brightly. That meant that he was very satisfied by what Xiao Jin had done.

So Gu Chaoyan got quite interested as she asked. “What has he gotten?”

Sword Three took the things out.

There were 15 booklets.

Gu Chaoyan opened the booklets and found that it was a brief map of the town, simple but noted with important positions.

The map showcased the restaurants of all sizes, government offices, important families as well as folk and customs.

She turned to the other booklets.

The contents were the same. Those simple yet important things were all noted.

Gu Chaoyan’s eyes brightened. Xiao Jin was a very smart person, and when she told Xiao Jin about the mission, what she said was that she was going to open restaurants. And she said nothing about what exactly he should do, but he had accomplished the mission so greatly!

Xiao Jin grew up in the village and despite the small business he had run before, he was totally strange to running businesses and restaurants.

If he only worked upon the locations in the towns, then he would not have accomplished the mission so well, but the results were different.

He had almost presented a complete and thorough image of the town in front of her.

Gu Chaoyan could accurately and rapidly get to know the information of these towns in the Feather Mulberry Land. She could pick any position she liked and even got to know about the towns.

“Xiao Jin has done a great job.” Gu Chaoyan said happily, “Tell him that he has done it well, and he is free to go anywhere, but he must return before the Spring Hunt. Give him some money from the storage and tell him not to be too frugal. He works for me and he should be treated well.”

Sword Three answered happily, “I am on it, Elder Miss!”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

After Sword Three left, she continued to read the booklets. She could not help feeling satisfied.

In the following ten days, Gu Chaoyan kept on reading the booklets.

It was not until the biggest snow that fell in the Saint Divine Land. It was the day when Xuan Lin’s magical monsters were transported to the land and the King and Zhou Huailing took a look at them together.

After the King looked at the magical monsters, he returned to the Qianqing Palace and wrote down the imperial order of marriage.

When he was done writing the imperial order, the King did not visit the Weiyang Palace, but went to Princess Xunyang’s palace instead..
