Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

Chapter 214 Awkwardness and Reconciliation

After less than a year of peace, the war in Anxi resumed.

This time, Beidi and Tubo, one in the south and one in the north, each led an army of 200,000 to encircle each other. The formation was huge, and Beiguan was the first to bear the brunt.

Mingyi followed Li Fengjiao into the palace, but waited until dusk fell before she saw Emperor Chongning who looked tired.

When Emperor Chongning saw Mingyi, he no longer exchanged polite greetings. He just sighed softly and said, "Go back, Yun'an. What can you do now except worry? Fortunately, you have returned to Wangjing, and Xue Lin is fine." No worries anymore.”

Mingyi had calmed down at this time. The war in Anxi was imminent. This was something she knew well before leaving Beiguan.

"I know I can't do anything, but I don't want to be a fool. I still want your Majesty to tell you what the court discussed." Mingyi did not dodge, looking at Emperor Chongning with stern eyes.

Emperor Chongning was always easy-going and would never punish her for being disrespectful. But even if he didn't know how to scold him, he shouldn't have subconsciously lowered his eyes to avoid Mingyi's sight like this.

Mingyi's heart suddenly felt cold.

"The intention of the court is that the situation on the other side of southern Hunan is unclear at the moment. Beidi and Tubo are coming fiercely. If they want to attack the west for the sake of southern Hunan, the imperial court will allocate money, food and reinforcements to Anxi. The other side of southern Hunan is unprepared, fearing that something big will happen. Therefore, the court It has been agreed upon that we will hold off for the time being and wait and see what the situation is like!"

Didn't he just say that there was no movement in southern Hunan, so that doesn't mean he has a disobedient heart? This is the time to take precautions. It's just because Xiangnan is closer to Wangjing than Anxi, and it poses a greater threat to the dynasty. Moreover, Xue Lin and the Anxi army are brave and good at fighting, but the south... has been at peace for a long time. Not to mention the generals who can be used, how many soldiers can fight?
Mingyi's heart skipped a beat, but she wasn't too surprised. She nodded slightly and said, "I understand, your majesty. Thank you for informing me."

"Yun'an doesn't need to worry too much. The imperial court is not ignoring Anxi, but it just wants to check the situation. Anxi has been on guard for a long time, and Xue Rongyu is the best at using soldiers. Even if Beidi and Tubo are powerful, they may not be able to be in his hands. Get a bargain. Yun'an, I am the emperor, the country and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in my hands, I can't just look at one place." At the end, Emperor Chongning said solemnly.

"I can understand your Majesty's difficulties, but I also hope that your Majesty will understand my difficulties. I have a husband in Anxi, and the court can ignore it, but I can't. I will do my best to raise food and money for Anxi, but I am afraid of the court. Some people are watching with cold eyes and will not allow me to take action. I hope your majesty will help me, at least not to let others pick up the shit basin randomly." After Mingyi said this, he knelt down towards Emperor Chongning and took a deep breath.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongning actually chuckled twice, "You girl, you went to Anxi and came back, and your words became more and more cheerful. Could it be that you were also taught by Xue Rongyu?"

"I just didn't expect that I would hide my words from His Majesty at this time." Mingyi's expression was indifferent and magnanimous.

Emperor Chongning nodded, "Although I can't send troops to Anxi, the Ministry of Revenue will still support it with money and food that can be spared. As for your end, go ahead and do it, but they won't pay, but it doesn't make sense. They dare to make irresponsible remarks after you raised money, I can still guarantee this."

"With your Majesty's words, I feel relieved." Mingyi finally smiled, bowed to Emperor Chongning, and then left.

When she came out of the palace, the trace of smile on Mingyi's face faded to nothing. She looked up at the night sky above her head and let out a long breath. However, it only took a moment for her to calm down and take steps forward. , now is not the time to be in a daze. Didn't she and Xue Lin expect this situation a long time ago? Right now, she had a lot to do, and there was no time to waste in daze.

"Mingyi, my mother knew you were back. She originally wanted to see you, but I'm afraid you don't have the time to think about it now. Let's talk about it another day!" Li Fengjiao's carriage was waiting at the gate of the palace and took Mingyi all the way back to Ji. In Prince Yang's Mansion, Li Fengjiao took Mingyi's hand in front of the palace.

Mingyi smiled slightly, why didn't she miss the eldest princess? It’s just that it’s really not the time right now, “Let’s wait another day. After I finish what I’m going to do these days, I’ll pay you a visit. I miss Her Royal Highness the Princess very much!”

After getting off the carriage, Mingyi looked up and saw Mr. Gao and King Jiyang waiting at the gate of the mansion. They hadn't seen each other for half a year. The two elders seemed to have remained the same, but then they seemed to have changed. Mingyi's steps were delayed by two points for a moment. "Jiaojiao——"

"nice girl--"

But when the old couple saw Mingyi, they shouted and rushed over. They seemed no different from half a year ago. As soon as the two of them came up, they held Mingyi by one hand and looked her up and down.

Mrs. Gao said, "I have grown taller, but I have lost weight. Did you have to work hard on the road? Don't worry, I asked the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes, all of which are your favorites. I will give you supplements every day." , don’t be afraid of not being able to make up for it.”

Mingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I'm not thin."

"Why aren't you thin? Look at your waist... Listen to my mother-in-law, you have to take good care of your body so that you can have less hardship during childbirth and your children will be healthy in the future." Mrs. Gao insisted.

Mingyi's heart moved when she heard that. At first, she never thought that she would have children in this life, but now... maybe, she can look forward to her and Xue Lin's children?

"Good girl, why did you go to the palace first instead of going back to the capital? Is there something wrong?" When Mingyi entered the palace, it was raining and came back first to inform Prince Jiyang and his wife, so Jiyang Wang Cai asked this question with rare sensitivity.

Mingyi pondered for a moment, thinking that they would hear the news sooner or later. Rather than being frightened by the unknown situation, it would be better for her to tell them. She continued, "When I entered the city gate just now, I happened to encounter the 800-mile urgent army reporting to the palace, so I asked Gillian to take me into the palace to have a look."

"Eight hundred miles urgent military report?" As expected, the faces of King Jiyang and Gao family changed. They looked at each other for a moment before saying, "Is it Xiangnan or Anxi?"

"Anxi. Beidi and Tubo are surrounded by 400,000 troops from the south and north. Now there are 200,000 troops outside Beiguan City." Mingyi said, his expression was calm when he spoke, and there was no trace of panic.

However, both Gao family and King Jiyang looked panicked when they heard this, "How can this be so good?"

"Anxi has been guarding against these two sides. Although the enemy army is huge, the governor and Anxi's army are old rivals with these two sides, so they will not just be beaten. Brother, don't worry. He is now completely different from when he was in Wangjing. The difference is that everyone at Lantai camp must obey the command of the governor, so he will be fine."

"Since your brother has joined the army, he should not receive any special treatment. You can do whatever you want. But you, on the other hand, have to worry about both your brother and Rong Yu. No wonder you are in a hurry to enter the palace directly." King Jiyang He sighed and looked at Mingyi with a distressed look on his face.

"I said, "Why do you want to come back suddenly? It turns out that it's because of this that my uncle asked you to come back to Beijing!" Gao sighed and patted the back of her hand gently.

Mingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, but wasn't it because of this that he asked her to come back? Otherwise, it seems now that the so-called warning, with her or without her, doesn't make much difference. On the contrary, he obviously wanted to take care of her and let her return to Beijing for a while, but when she took the initiative, he got awkward. Maybe, this It is through such awkwardness and reconciliation time and time again that couples can truly get close to each other's hearts, right?

In her previous life, she had no experience or feelings in this area, and she did not feel it was a pity after she and Chu Yanqing drifted apart. Now, she had some quarrels and reconciliation with Xue Lin. Maybe it was like this, just thinking about being separated from him, I already feel sad. If this is the case, then try to get to know each other and stay together all the way!
