Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies Chapter 302: The Delegation Arrived

Chapter 302: The Delegation Arrived

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The delegation from the Nan State finally arrived at the gates of the capital.

The Vice Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs dressed in an all-vermilion robe stood at the city gate.

“My Lord, the delegation from the Nan State has arrived.”

Lord Ji, Vice Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs, quickly stepped forward and put on his official smile.

“Welcome, Nan State’s delegation.”

The Nan State’s entourage stopped at the city gate. In the middle of the entourage was a red horse carriage.

A slender finger drew aside the beaded curtain, revealing half of an exquisite side profile.

In the darkness, those almond-shaped eyes swept over the official robe worn by the Vice Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs. After confirming Lord Ji’s ident.i.ty, he dropped the curtain. “Thank you.”

Lord Ji straightened up. “Your Highness Prince Yu, this way please.”

The delegation from the Nan State was first brought to the Imperial Palace. After coming out of the Imperial Palace, they were escorted to their temporary lodging.

“Your Highnesses, please rest in the short-stay palace for a while. If you need anything, feel free to let me know,” Lord Ji said to Prince Yu and Princess Zhaoyu.

Prince Yu nodded kindly. “Thank you for your trouble.”

“I won’t disrupt Your Highnesses from resting. I shall take my leave now.”

Lord Ji bowed and retreated out of the hall.

The moment the hall door closed, the smile on Prince Yu’s face gradually faded.

The next day, the Su family’s residence brought over the account books that Aunt Zhao asked for. As these were the accounts for the whole year and there were many shops, the boxes holding the ledgers took up almost half the room.

Su Ying felt a headache coming on as she looked at these account books. Lin Zhuyu, on the other hand, was so happy that she asked the guards to move these account books into her room.

“Your Highness, please give me some time. I guarantee that it won’t take more than a few days for me to finish reading.”

“If there are any problems after you have read them, just tell me.”

“Yes, I will do it now.”

After the two little ones returned from their morning exercise, they ran into the house and pulled Su Ying out.

“Mother, Mother! Can you come with us to fly paper kites?”

Su Ying looked at the beautiful weather today and thought that since the two little fellows hadn’t been able to go out for the past few days after returning to the capital, she might as well take advantage of the good weather today to bring them out to play.

“Sure. Mother will take you two outside the city today to fly paper kites.”

When the two little ones heard that, they jumped up and down happily.

“Yay, yay! Wanna go out and fly paper kites. Wanna to fly paper kites.”

“I will go and prepare now.” Ling put the paper kite in Su Ying’s hand and scampered away.

Su Ying didn’t know what she was going to prepare.

Soon, the younger toddler Ling returned with a small bag.

“Mother, we can go now.”

Su Ying couldn’t help but be curious when she saw how heavy Ling’s small bag was. “What’s in your bag, Ling?”

Ling patted her little bag with a smug grin, revealing a row of tiny milk teeth. “They’re all delicious stuff!”

Er…

Su Ying pinched Ling’s increasingly chubby little face. “Little glutton.”

“Oh, I’ll give Mother half of the snacks.”

“That’s good.”

Su Ying told Bai Shuang and the rest to pack up their things and prepare the horse carriage. They would leave the city while it was still early.

“Where does Your Highness plan to take Young Prince and Young Princess to play?” Aunt Zhao heard the commotion and walked out of the room next door.

“We’re going outside the city. Aunt Zhao, didn’t you say that there is a meadow outside the city? It’s best to fly paper kites there.”

“Then you have to be careful, Your Highness.”

“Got it, Aunt Zhao.”

After getting their stuff ready, Su Ying left the residence with the two little ones.

All children loved to play. After leaving Prince Qi’s Manor, the two little fellows looked around excitedly while traveling in the horse carriage as if they had never been here before.

“Mother, there are so many people in the capital.”

“There are meat buns too. What a big meat bun, Mother.”

Su Ying looked at the two little ones prattling, answering their questions from time to time. In the blink of an eye, the horse carriage had exited the city gates.

On her way back to the capital for the first time, Su Ying had noticed a large patch of green meadow outside the city.

The weather was good today. They had just arrived outside the green meadow when they saw many horse carriages parked around them. It seemed that there were quite a number of people out to play today.

The coachman found an empty s.p.a.ce to park the horse carriage. Su Ying was the first to jump off the horse carriage. Then she carried the two little ones down.

“Mother, look at the sky. There are so many paper kites in the sky.”

Su Ying raised her head and saw that many kites were indeed flying high up in the sky.

She took the two children to a place where there were fewer people and then placed two kites in their hands.

“Hold it. In a while, Mother will run in front, so you two have to follow closely.”

Bai Shuang had taught her how to play with this thing in Sky Alpha City. She still remembered that the first time she played with it, the wind was very strong. The strong wind broke the string of her paper kite outright.

“I know, Mother. I can already run very fast,” Ji responded.

Su Ying raised the kite and checked for the direction of the wind before choosing a direction to run in.

She adjusted her running speed according to the older toddler Ji’s speed. It was impossible for Ji to run at her original speed.

“Alright, Ji. Let go of your hands now.”

Ji obediently released his tiny hands. After a brief struggle, the kite gradually soared into the sky.

“Wow! Big Brother’s kite is flying! It’s flying!” Ling shouted excitedly, “Mother, Mother! Me too! Me too!”

After Su Ying stabilized the kite, she handed the string to the older toddler Ji.

“Ji, hold it firmly. Don’t let the kite drop down.”

“I know, Mother.”

Su Ying turned to the younger toddler Ling and took the string from her.

“When you run later, be careful not to fall, okay?”

“I know!”

Su Ying tugged at the string. “I’m going. Now, run!”

Ling raised the kite in her hand and ran forward with all her might.

The wind today was especially good. It was neither too strong nor too weak and was very suitable for flying kites.

Soon, Ling’s kite also soared into the sky.

Su Ying rolled up the thread and handed it to Ling. “Take it. Have fun with Big Brother. Mother will be sitting by the side.”

“Alright.”

After she had released the kites for the two little ones, Su Ying walked to the side and sat down.

Bai Shuang had already laid a mat on the gra.s.s and took out the snacks and fruits.

“Your Highness, you should rest for a while if you are tired.”

Su Ying picked up an apple and took a bite. She fell over and lay on the meadow. Her nose was filled with the smell of gra.s.s mixed with dew.

As she watched the two kites in the sky, she became completely relaxed.

In order to control the kites in their hands, the two little fellows kept moving backward. However, with the guards following them, Su Ying wasn’t worried.

“Gosh, Big Brother! I can’t hold it anymore. My kite is about to fly away.”

The higher the kite flew, the stronger the wind. The kite was almost dragging the younger toddler Ling off the ground.

The guard beside her saw that the situation was not right and quickly took the string from Ling’s hand. “Young Princess, the higher the kite flies, the stronger the wind. The wind is too strong now and you can’t hold on to it. Let me do it.”

It was not easy for Ling to see the kite fly so high so she was a little reluctant.

“Wait for Uncle Guard to pull it back and then he will return it to you,” the older toddler Ji said.

“Alright, alright. I’ll go eat something delicious then.”

Ling ran toward Su Ying happily, but she suddenly stopped halfway..
