At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Emperor Cheng was very happy when he received Lin Cunfeng's letter. When he thought of the jade mines in the two mountains, even an emperor who had seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry would be excited.

With a wave of his hand, he sent 100,000 troops to support the battlefield in southern Yunnan. In fact, he wanted to seize the jade mine. The Minister of War was the most worried. He thought of the second prince. Of course, the second prince was also worried because these 100,000 people were transferred from his hands. Who wouldn't feel distressed? But he was helpless.

The happiest ones were the Queen and the Crown Prince, because the Second Prince no longer had any military power after 100,000 men were transferred from the Ministry of War under his control.

"Mother, will Princess Xingguo be in any danger in Nanling County?" Nangong Sheng, who was sitting opposite the Queen, said nervously while looking in the direction of Nanling County.

"You are the crown prince. The last time the Ministry of Revenue incident happened, the Wang family got the advantage. This time, your father transferred so many troops of the second prince to the battlefield in Southern Yunnan. Do you think General Lin cannot defeat the Southern Yunnan Kingdom? Your father has been very happy these days." The queen looked at her son in front of her and said meaningfully.

"Mother, you mean there is good news from the Southern Dian Kingdom! This time the Lin family will have control of the military power." asked the prince.

"I don't know why the Lin family of the general's mansion doesn't have a daughter. The eldest daughter of the Yu family is close to the Lin family. The most suitable girl for your crown princess is Yu Yunxin." said the queen.

"But Yu Tinghai is against us everywhere, especially when he wants to investigate the case of Duke Li." The prince said, looking at the empty teacup in his hand.

"If you marry that girl Yu Yunxin, Yu Tinghai, do you think he will take action against your son-in-law's family even if you find out something?" The queen looked at her son with a pair of gentle eyes and said.

"I understand." The prince replied upon hearing it.

"The Emperor has arrived." Suddenly a loud voice interrupted the conversation between the Queen and the Prince.

Upon hearing this, the prince and the queen immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

Today the Emperor was wearing a bright yellow robe, which contrasted nicely with the Queen's red peony robe.

When Emperor Cheng saw the robe on the empress, he smiled and said, "Princess Xingguo's gift is really genuine."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the capital is very cold this year. I didn't expect that it would still be a bit cold in the early spring. I don't feel cold at all wearing this big coat." The queen smiled. Yes, it was thanks to Princess Xingguo's down quilt that Emperor Cheng was able to stay in her bedroom this winter.

"The prince is here too! Let's have dinner together as a family of three today." The emperor said, turning back to look at Hu Man and saying, "Let's go to the imperial kitchen and ask eunuch Zhang to make hot pot."

"It's your order!" Hu Man walked out immediately after hearing it.

Soon, a pot of steaming hot pot was served in front of everyone. Emperor Cheng was the first to pick up his chopsticks. He watched the thinly sliced ​​beef being put into the pot and said, "This hot pot tastes better and better as I eat it."

"Yes, father! I feel the same way." The prince picked up a piece of beef cooked in thick soup, dipped it in the sauce, put it into his mouth elegantly and tasted it. He never thought that the smooth, tender and juicy beef reminded him of Yu Yunxin.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to Nanling County to bring Princess Xingguo back to Beijing." I don't know how this sentence suddenly came out.

"Don't worry, Prince. Nanling County is very safe." Emperor Cheng glanced at the prince and said.

The queen glanced at her son and said, "Don't worry, Prince."

"Prince, you should stay in the capital. The government affairs have been very busy these days. As the crown prince, how can you ignore your own safety and go to Nanling County?" Emperor Cheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the Prince spoke too hastily. If you cook the beef a little longer it will become overcooked." The Queen said as she picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a few pieces of beef on the side of the Emperor and the Prince's bowls.

Emperor Cheng didn't say anything else. Only delicious food could not affect the previous episode.

Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan from the Yu Mansion in Beijing took the two elderly people who lived in Haizhen Village back to their mansion.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law and father-in-law, I will take good care of you two old people." Wang Yuanxiang said flatteringly.

"Xiang, you and Xuan'er are so good. Don't worry, after Tinghai returns to Beijing, I will make you my principal wife." Sun said with a kind face.

"But the first lady has passed away for so many years, but she is still the eldest daughter of the general's mansion! I'm afraid the general's mansion will be dissatisfied." Wang Yuanxiang said with a look of grievance.

"Xiang, you gave birth to a boy for our Yu family. Sooner or later, the Yu Mansion will be handed over to Nian Si." Yu Qingfeng, who was sitting aside, said.

Wang Yuanxiang cried and complained, "But father-in-law, do you know that when Yun Xin went to Nanling County, she emptied the Yu Mansion and left. Xuan'er, Nian Si and I are also in a tight spot now!"

"Xiang, don't worry. I will send someone to send a letter to Nanling County to ask Tinghai to send some silver back to you." Sun said.

"Aunt, this is not a good idea! I went to Wangshan County in Nanling Prefecture and heard that before the autumn harvest, Yun Xin spent 100,000 taels to distribute to the people there. You see, Xin spent money like water selling hilltops and farms there. She sold quite a few. Now we are going to go to war with the Southern Dian Kingdom. If we buy land there, won't it be all gone after the war?" Wang Yuanxiang complained.

"That's right! Grandpa and grandma, don't you know that all the silks, satins, gold and silver jewelry in my eldest sister's room were taken to Nanling County, and she also bought a bunch of servants there to serve her. She is even more prestigious than a princess." Yu Yunxuan said coquettishly in front of Sun.

"What! No way! Even though Xin'er's mother left her a lot of dowry, she can't afford to spend it like this! Old man, please write a letter to Tinghai later and ask him to control Xin'er and not let her spend money like this." Sun said, touching Yu Yunxuan's head.

"Okay, I'll go write a letter to Tinghai and send it to the post station." As soon as Mr. Yu heard it, he turned and went into the study and started writing a letter.

Spring is here in Nanling County and flowers are blooming. Yu Yunxin is wearing a skirt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and a blue and white satin outer garment with woven flowers, which makes her skin look particularly delicate. These are the works of two weavers, Pingsu and Huajin. Yu Yunxin, who originally didn't like to care about her own outfit, now likes these precious brocades more and more with the help of Pingsu, Huajin and several embroiderers from Yanyu Manor.

"This is how a princess should dress, thanks to Ping Su and Hua Jin." Chun Yu stood behind Yu Yunxin and praised.

"Yes! Cousin, can you also make a few for us cousins-in-law?" Leng Shuang said.

"No problem, my three cousins, you can tell Pingsu and Huajin whatever style you want and let them arrange it." Yu Yunxin has always been generous to her three cousins.

"Your clothes were all arranged by me, your mother-in-law. Why are you not satisfied?" said Cheng on the side.

"Aunt, what woman doesn't love beauty?" Yu Yunxin immediately explained to her three cousins-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Cheng laughed and said, "We have already troubled Xin'er by staying in Nanling County for a while. How can you still use the weaving girl you brought back?"

"Stop talking. Look at those women shearing the sheep in Xin'er's sheep farm. Let's go too! We can't live here and eat and take things." Lin Qian was very curious when she saw the village women shearing sheep in the sheep pen. She also wanted to try and looked at everyone.

"Okay, let's go!" Li Wan said as she wanted to follow Lin Qian into the sheepfold to shear the sheep.

Cheng looked at him and asked, "Xin'er, why are you shearing so much wool?"

"These woolen fabrics for winter can be made into woven fabrics and fabrics with another weaving method." Yu Yunxin replied.

"What is the other way of weaving?" Cheng asked curiously.

"Pingsu and Huajin are still studying this and we'll know when the time comes." Yu Yunxin wasn't sure whether she could spin wool yarn or not, she didn't know how to do that, but when it came to knitting clothes, she could knit some simple scarves and hats. She hadn't knitted for a long time and she didn't know if she had forgotten it.

"Oh! Wan'er, come on, we have nothing to do, let's go shear the sheep together!" As he said that, he took Li Wan to the sheep pen, picked up a pair of scissors and started shearing the sheep's wool.

Yu Yunxin looked at the dust rising from the sheep pen and said, "Chunyu, let's go make some masks for them to wear. There's too much dust here."

"Okay!" Chunyu went back and went to the warehouse in Huashan Village to take out linen and needle and thread.

After shearing the wool, there is still rabbit hair. Shearing rabbit hair is not as easy as shearing wool, because rabbit hair has many colors and they all need to be sheared separately, and black, gray, white and yellow also need to be separated according to the depth of color. Fortunately, Aunt Ding knew that she needed to shear the rabbit hair, so she raised rabbits of these colors separately. Two batches of baby rabbits were born before the New Year.

The most troublesome thing about these wool materials is the plain and brocade ones. They tried several times. Wool is OK for weaving, but the cloth is a bit coarse. It can be used for outerwear. They also listened to Yu Yunxin's wool spinning and asked the blacksmith to make some fine iron combs. They will try again after the iron combs are made. Rabbit hair is softer and it is a bit difficult to weave cloth now, but there will always be a good way. They are not in a hurry. After all, winter is over and they are not in a hurry.

Several female members of the family were busy shearing wool and rabbit hair, and more importantly, they were collecting duck and goose down. The situation in Nanchuan City was indeed not peaceful. The Brown Tribe and the Giant Elephant Tribe, with more than 10,000 iron-eating beast cavalry and elephant cavalry, had launched several surprise attacks on the military camps. Fortunately, Mu Zhongye had spies who prevented their surprise attacks from going awry.

"General Mu, you are really smart. It's a pity that their mounts can't escape quickly, otherwise we would have burned them to death." Lin Dengyuan said.

"This time, the Brown Tribe and the Giant Elephant Tribe have joined forces to launch a surprise attack on us. What I am most afraid of are the Gu Masters and those mandrills. They are too ghostly and difficult to deal with." Mu Zhongye said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of! We in Shura Sect have the Red Flame Army and four Luo Kings." As he spoke, four people wearing masks and eighteen people wearing red armor and golden masks walked into the military camp.

"You! Get down..." Lin Cunfeng and Lin Jinghe jumped when Jing Mo saw them.

"General Lin, we are here to help on the orders of the Lord of the Underworld to deal with the mandrills, elephant cavalry and iron-eating beasts." One of the Luo Kings dressed in black spoke up. This was the Black-faced Luo King.

"We have Baiyun Villa to deal with Gu Masters. I've also heard of your Shura Sect, but after all, we are from the imperial court. It wouldn't be a good idea for you people from the martial arts world to come and help us!" Lin Jingmo said as he looked at Z and the group of masked people.

"Baiyun Villa is also a martial arts sect. We, the Shura Sect, do not ask for any fame or fortune from General Lin. We have a grudge with the Bulang people, so the enemy of our enemy is our friend. When the time comes, we will only deal with the Bulang people. We will not help with the rest. We will leave after dealing with the Bulang people. Also, we in the martial arts world do not ask for anything in return. We have our own camp, which is just 100 meters south of Nanchuan City. I hope General Lin will not disturb us." The Black-faced Luo King said as he made a return gesture.

A Red Flame soldier took out a box of medicine and said, "This is my Shura Sect's hemostatic and antiseptic medicine. It is most effective against Gu poison."

"What's the meaning of sending you medicine? Aren't the medicines in our Baiyun Villa good?" Lin Dengyuan said angrily when he heard it.

"This is also a gift from our Shura Sect. General Lin's prescription is also given to you by us." After saying this, the Black-faced King Luo bowed to Lin Cunfeng and left.

Before anyone could react, he disappeared into the night like a ghost.

"Grandfather!" Lin Dengyuan said as he picked up the medicine box and smelled it. He was also shocked when he opened the prescription: "These herbs are indeed effective after being mixed! Why didn't the pharmacist of Baiyun Villa think of it?"

"Is there anything wrong with these medicines, General Wu?" Mu Zhongye asked.

"No!" Lin Dengyuan raised his head and said, "I'd better go get the medicine." Then he left with the brocade box.

"What does Shura Gate mean? They also want to deal with the Bulang people." Lin Jingmo asked.

"They won't deal with us, after all, we have 300,000 troops!" Mu Zhongye said, "Although I haven't seen the black-faced Luo Wang's moves or his true face, I can tell from his behavior and the way he walks that he might be from Southern Yunnan. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, don't worry."

"Since General Mu has said so, let the soldiers out on patrol take a detour! Report any signs of trouble." said General Lin.

In an enemy camp outside Nanchuan Mountain.

"Regent, we were impulsive this time. We must obey your command." said the leader of the Brown tribe.

"Our regent told you not to act on your own, why are you so disobedient?" A black-robed Gu Master standing behind him looked at the leaders of the Giant Elephant and Brown tribes with dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Shangguan Hongcheng, tell me!" Lan Yi looked at Shangguan Hongcheng with cold eyes.

"Hongyan said that she was hiding beside Princess Xingguo, and she also saw that the military pay sent to Nanchuan City was sent from Nanling County and Shangyang County. We can launch a surprise attack on Dacheng and occupy Shangyang County." Shangguan Jing said, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Dad and Princess Xingguo's Kangzhuang Town have a lot of good things there, and I've discovered a secret. There seem to be a lot of good things in the back mountain." Shangguan Hongyan said. If there were people in Kangzhuang Town at this moment, they might know that she was Lulian.

After Shangguan Hongyan finished speaking, she looked at the man sitting in the main seat of the tent.

As soon as Shangguan Jing saw this look, he knew what the little girl was thinking at the moment.

Lan Yishen noticed the look in the father and daughter's eyes and immediately said, "Then I'll trouble Master Shangguan to lead the way. We will attack Shangyang County at night."

"By the way, Your Majesty, you may not know this! Although there was a drought in Nanling County and even Yuzhou last year, Princess Xingguo planted a second crop of rice, and now the entire Nanling County has enough food and clothing." Shangguan Hongyan said.

"Regent, what are we waiting for? Let's launch a surprise attack on Shangyang County and see how the military supplies are transported to Nanchuan City." The leader of the giant elephant tribe had a face full of flesh, a fat head and big ears, and his appearance was comparable to that of an elephant.

"Leaders, when you go back this time, don't alarm anyone and don't say anything. Take the cavalry and head directly to Shangyang County." Lan Yishen said.

The leaders all understood Lan Yishen's meaning after hearing it. They had planned the last sneak attack for a whole day, but ended up losing many soldiers and being set on fire. Fortunately, their mounts were fast, otherwise they might have died on the battlefield.
