Carrying two bulging bags, a suitable amount of cash, silver notes concealed against his body, a soft whip of gold hidden at his waist along with a water flask,

In the backyard, a white steed was tethered. Yang Ruqing finally set off on her journey to Tianhai County.

Needless to say about the journey itself. In short, she set off on August twenty-fourth and by mid-September of the lunar calendar, she had entered the territory of Tianhai County.

It is deep autumn now, and almost every color you see along the roadside is gold.

Golden land, beach, blue sea. At the end of the sea is the blue sky and white clouds.

When the wind blows, it carries the scent of the ocean. The air here is noticeably more humid than in the Mianniu Mountain area.

Yang Ruqing likes to come to coastal towns, she likes the blue sky and white clouds, and she likes to bathe in the sea breeze.

However, this time it wasn't to travel and sightsee, but to look for Tang YaZi and DaAn.

And they didn't know she was coming beforehand.

Here's the translated text, keeping the HTML tags as you requested: Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon reaching the city gates of Tianhai County, Yang Ruqing, dressed in men's clothing, rode on a white steed. Her hair was tied high atop her head, revealing a broad and full forehead.

At first glance, if he doesn't speak, he does indeed look like a handsome young man.

“Even this small Tianhai County requires a permit to enter the city. This is really something! I've never experienced such a thing when passing through Qing'an County.”

>

Seeing the long queue of people waiting to enter the city at the gate, all kinds of commoners, merchants and scholars, Yang Ruoqing was amazed in her heart.

"Could it be that because the wedding procession for the Ninth Princess is still in Tianhai County, the security there has been tightened compared to usual!"

Keeping to the middle of the queue, they entered the city in an orderly fashion. It was almost noon by now.

As she waited in line, Yang Ruqing's stomach grumbled with hunger and she desperately needed to use the restroom. She decided to find a restaurant to grab a bite and relieve herself before meeting Tang Ya Zi and Princess Jiu at their inn.

The decoration style of the restaurant is also very distinctive, using local materials. For example, in Tianxiang Building, besides the menu made from exquisite handwritten letters, Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

There is also a menu written on bamboo slips pasted on the wall.

Here, the walls are also adorned with menus, but instead of bamboo slips, they are large clam shells.

Yang Ruqing scanned the menu, and 80% of the items were related to seafood.

To be honest, she's not really into seafood. Perhaps it's because she grew up in an inland city and prefers salty, spicy, and stir-fried dishes.

“Then I’ll have a seafood porridge, and also a serving of blanched okra. And a pot of jasmine tea,” Yang Ruqing ordered to the waiter beside her, and then tossed a handful of copper coins as a tip.

The young waiter thanked him and hurried away.

As soon as she tipped, her order arrived quickly.

Here is the translation of your content, with HTML tags kept intact:

The seafood porridge contains three kinds of seafood. The pink one is shrimp, the white one should be scallop, and there are also a few pieces of chopped sea cucumber.

The porridge is indeed very delicious, and with this bowl, the nutritional value should also be very high.

However, Yang Ruohong only ate the congee and shrimp, leaving the scallops untouched and barely touching the sea cucumber.

Just as I was about to get up and pay, I heard two men arrive at the table next to me. They looked like officials.

The two men, in a hurry, hadn't even sat down before shouting for the waiter to bring them tea.

The waiter served them tea, and they ordered two more dishes. They told the waiter, "Tell the cook in the back kitchen that all the other customers' dishes should be cooked later. Just cook ours first so we can eat and then hurry to Princess Manor for duty."

"If you delay us from our duties, your tavern won't be able to operate! Go now!"

The waiter was so scared that he hurried to the backyard kitchen to pass on the message.

The two officials poured tea and chatted as they drank, complaining about various things. Yang Ruqing had initially intended to get up and pay before leaving, but upon hearing them mention the princess's estate, she sat back down, eager to hear what else they had to say.

Officer A said, "Marrying a princess as a daughter-in-law is really exhausting. From top to bottom, they exhaust us completely. In the end, Wu's son didn't even get to have his wedding night and ended up in the hospital. What bad luck!"

Officer B said, "That's right. The bridal procession for this princess arrived at our county in July, and it's still not married!"

>

I wonder what the county magistrate Wu is thinking. Young Master Wu has such excellent conditions. If he were to marry a daughter from a wealthy family in our place, they would probably already have children.

“He has to marry a delicate little princess, like a porcelain doll, can't touch or get close to her. I heard she's even a divorcee!”

"Psst! Keep your voice down. If anyone hears us and tells the princess, we're both finished." Officer A patted Officer B's arm and made a shushing gesture.

Just then, the waiter brought over the food, and the two officers ended their conversation, picking up their chopsticks to start eating ravenously.

Yang Ruqing also got up and went to settle the bill. She came to the door, led her horse, and continued on her journey.

After asking around on the street, I found out where the Ninth Princess's villa was.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

The courtyard is located to the east of Tianhai County, right by the sea. The environment is fantastic. The shops and stores on the nearby streets look like they have been checked and cleaned, appearing exceptionally clean and tidy.

At the end of the street, a courtyard came into view. Above its gate, in prominent gilded characters, were the words: "Sea and Sky as One."

Well, that name isn't bad, Hai Tian, Hai Tian...

The dishes cooked with Haitian soy sauce are very delicious!

Alright, let's get back on track. Yang Ruqing led her horse to the front of the manor. She was about fifty steps away when she was stopped by two guards.

"Who is it?" They stopped him, faces as impassive as playing cards.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the special markings on the armor of the two guards, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

>

Chinese flowering crabapple.

This is the special insignia of the National Guard where Luofengtang belongs.

At first, when Luofeng Tang reorganized the National Guard, she needed a special symbol and asked for her help in devising a plan.

In Great Qi, no more than five generals have the autonomy to decide on their army's insignia.

Qi Xingyun's army insignia was originally a cloud, and some others were tigers, bears, or something like that.

Yang Ruqing had a flash of inspiration and designed a hibiscus flower logo for Luo Fengtang.

She remained silent, instead drawing a token from her bosom and displaying it before the two guards.

Two guards looked at the token, exchanged glances, and immediately showed respect for Yang Ruoqing.

This waist token belongs to Luofeng Tang.

This token, he is a symbol of his identity. Holding this token, to go to Qingshan County, even the temporary military in Changshui Prefecture, it is no problem to arbitrarily dispatch five thousand troops.

This is a great reward for such national heroes from the State of Qi. It's a royal bestowment of power upon the Great General.

Generally speaking, a general of such high rank wouldn't be separated from such an important token.
