Allure of a Country Maiden

Shangguan Wanru knew that the imperial court was preparing to send troops to Nangong Kingdom a few days later. She found out because she went to the study to find Prince An and heard what he said to Shangguan Ruixi.

"The first batch of grain and grass has been secretly transported out. Now the snowy road is slippery and it is not suitable for transportation for the time being. When the weather gets warmer and the ground is no longer frozen, you can send the second batch of grain and grass out quickly. Be careful not to be caught. People found out."

"I understand, father, don't worry. It's the end of the year. There are many merchants transporting goods, and each queue is long. Let's pretend to be a caravan, so we won't be suspected by anyone. Alas, if not At that time, it happened to be the time when Yijin was giving birth, and I also wanted to lead troops to attack Nangong Kingdom!"

Shangguan Wanru stood outside the study door and was about to knock on the door. She heard the conversation between the two people inside and was so shocked that she knocked over the stew in her hand.

The two people in the study heard the sound and looked at each other.

"Princess, are you okay?" Prince An's servant just went to the toilet and happened to run back. He saw him and asked quickly.

"No, it's okay!"

Shangguan Ruixi opened the door.

Shangguan Wanru saw him opening the door and grabbed his hand: "The imperial court plans to attack Nangong Kingdom?"

Shangguan Ruixi glanced around, then pulled her into the room, closed the door and said, "This matter is still being discussed, and nothing has been made public. Don't be so loud!"

All the people who know now are the officials of the imperial court. If some talkative people hear it and spread it, and everyone in the imperial capital knows about it, then the people of Nangong Kingdom will naturally know it in advance!

In that case, they would be completely unprepared!

"What are you still discussing? Didn't you just say that the secret transportation of grain and grass has begun! I still understand the principle of marching and fighting, and grain and grass go first! The transportation of grain and grass has already begun. Isn't this a definite fact?"

"We are preparing to fight." King Anqing frowned when he saw Shangguan Wanru being so excited.

"Why?" If the two countries start a war, where will she, the princess of Minze Kingdom, and the crown princess of Nangong Kingdom be placed? Wouldn’t she have become a different person inside and out?

"Why? You should have known from the time you skidded that Nangong Kingdom has long been eyeing our dynasty's super rice breeding methods, cement production methods and other technologies. Even if we don't fight them now, sooner or later they will do it to get these things. They will attack us! In this case, why can't we take the initiative!" When Shangguan Wanru was bullied in the past, he disliked Nangong Kingdom, but at that time Shangguan Wanru was still the crown prince of Nangong Kingdom. If they could do It was too much. The one who had the most difficulty was Shangguan Wanru. Besides, the emperor had no intention of attacking Nangong Kingdom at that time. He could only endure it by himself. But it is different now. The right time, place and people are simply right. If he does not attack now, he will wait even longer. When.

"But if the imperial court attacks Nangong Kingdom, where should I be placed?"

"The Emperor of Nangong Kingdom put you and Zhuan'er under house arrest. He even caused you to have a miscarriage back then. Now that Prince Nangong is dead and Zhuan'er is dead, you have become the princess of Minze Kingdom and have nothing to do with their Nangong Kingdom. , where do you think you should put it?"

Shangguan Wanru felt speechless after hearing this. Yes, her husband-in-law was dead and her son was gone. Moreover, Min Zeguo, who had escaped back, was no longer the crown prince of Nangong Kingdom!

Nangong Kingdom has nothing to do with her anymore, so what does the war between the two countries have to do with her!

But why does her heart feel so uncomfortable?

Prince An felt uncomfortable when he saw his daughter like this: "Well, Nangong Kingdom has nothing to do with you anymore. Gong Zixuan would marry you as his concubine in the first place, maybe with a purpose, so don't do it anymore. He is sad! You have imprisoned yourself in the past and cannot get out. You are still young and there are still many days in the future. Think carefully about how to live your life."

"No, no, the prince is very good to me and will never take advantage of me! Father, if you want to attack Nangong Kingdom, you must fight, but you must not slander the prince like this!" Shangguan Wanru heard Prince An say this to Gong Zixuan "Can't accept it?" he replied excitedly.

"Okay, okay, okay, Gong Zixuan didn't take advantage of you! Father knows, he said it wrong!" Seeing her so excited, Prince An was worried that she would not be able to think about it for a while, and then play the flute day and night, then... Too bad, so he quickly followed her.

"." Shangguan Ruixi rolled his eyes helplessly. When a woman becomes emotional, she really has no reason at all!

"Can't we not fight? Why must we fight!" If there is a war, Gong Zixuan will know about it under the spring, and there will definitely be no peace! If Min Zeguo really captured Nangong Kingdom, how could she have the nerve to go see him in the future?

"This is the emperor's decision. You have no words to say." Shangguan Ruixi said.

Shangguan Wanru gave up after hearing this. The first batch of food and grass had already been delivered. This matter must have been prepared for a long time. How could he not fight because of her words?

"Well, Nangong Kingdom has been secretly recruiting troops and horses this year. The battle between the two countries will happen sooner or later. Because the military strength of our country is very different from that of Nangong Kingdom, we can only come before they are ready. A surprise victory, a national event, is related to the well-being of millions of people, and cannot be confused with the love of children. Don't think too much about it, go back and have a good rest."

Just as the imperial court was secretly preparing to attack Nangong Kingdom in the coming spring, the twelfth lunar month quietly arrived, and the weather was so cold that it turned into ice.

It has been snowing for seven days in a row, and the temperature has not risen. Now Shangguan Xuanyi dare not let Xiaoer take a walk outside, because when he got up in the morning, the ground was frozen with a thin layer of ice.

Today is the Laba Festival. When Xiaoer got up in the morning, she picked beans with the maids and prepared Laba porridge for a while, and then sent it to her friends. In addition, Laba porridge was already being cooked in the kitchen, and the porridge was going to be taken to the city gate. Distributed to poor people.

"The weather this year is really cold. It has never snowed so heavily at this time in previous years." Yang Liu walked in from the outside and opened the heavy curtain. A gust of cold air took the opportunity to come in. A little maid couldn't bear it. I shivered.

"Yes, this year's winter should be longer." Xiao'er knew from Bai Tian that this year's winter will indeed be longer and very cold. Even Nangong Kingdom, which doesn't snow very much, will have snow falling in some areas.

In such cold weather, many people would rather hide in their houses than go out, which is convenient for their soldiers to go out on the battlefield.

The supplies of food and grass have already set off, because it is a secret expedition, and now batches of soldiers have begun to set off from all directions to the border between the Minze Dynasty and the Nangong Kingdom.

By the time spring comes next year, all the soldiers should have arrived at the border.
