The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Thinking of Hua Jingqian saying he wanted to discuss this matter, he then went out.

Hua Fuying guessed that Hua Jingqian explained the matter to the prince, and the prince also instructed Hua Jingqian to use this marriage to win over the Shangshu Mansion for him.

What you said about seeing that Wu Ze loves me deeply is really a high-sounding statement.

Hua Fuying knew that she had no choice but to refuse this matter.

But the current situation in the Ye Kingdom is still unclear. If he cannot infiltrate the most powerful party, all his efforts will be wasted.

Hua Fuying was thinking in her mind whether there was any way to solve this problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't know how to break the deadlock, so I could only agree to Hua Jingqian's words.

"My daughter listens to her father's arrangements."

The next day, Wu Ze came to propose marriage as expected.

Minister Wu had always looked down on Minister Hua, a fourth-rank official, and Hua Fuying's concubine's daughter. Moreover, he was not marrying a wife, so neither Minister Wu nor his wife showed up, but only sent a matchmaker to follow Wu Ze.

When Hua Fuying heard that Wu Ze had brought a matchmaker to propose betrothal gifts and to arrange an engagement, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand away.

Aunt Lin was with her daughter at this time.

Seeing his daughter was so impatient, he frowned slightly and said:

"It's just a betrothal gift. The head of the family is still at the border, and Wu Ze hasn't married yet. You don't know when you and Wu Ze will get married. Why are you in such a hurry?"

He knew that his lack of calmness just now had made Aunt Lin unhappy.

Hua Fuying took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down and said:

"But Wu Ze is only the son of the Minister of Personnel after all. If I really marry him, as a concubine, then I will be useless as a chess piece."

Aunt Lin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip without caring.

"The overall situation is still uncertain, and everything is subject to change."

Hua Wuke did not take the fact that Hua Fuying and Wu Ze had arranged their marriage seriously.

Another dead leaf fell gracefully from the treetop.

In less than a month and a half, we will enter deep winter, and the border will be covered with snow...

Hua Wu Ke stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside.

She thought it was time to send the cloth to her grandfather and others.

"Qingmei and Qingzhu, prepare the carriage and go outside the city."

The carriage stopped at the Hua family army’s base. Hua Wu Ke got off the carriage and walked straight in to find Hua Liu who was handling affairs.

"Sixth brother, is it going to snow at the border?"

Hua Liu thought for a moment and replied:

"According to the date, there is still about a month before snowfall at the border. After the snow falls, it will soon be white and freezing cold."

Hua Wu Ke nodded and said, "We have to send the cloth to Grandfather and the others as soon as possible."

"I was just about to ask you for your advice on this matter. It's winter and there's no food at the border, and the court is also...

I have calculated the surplus food in the capital, and after deducting the rations for the soldiers who stayed in the capital, there is still some left that can be sent to the generals along with the cloth."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sixth Brother. Please take stock of the items that can be taken to the border. I will go find Ye Buhuo."

Ye Buhuo was also counting food and grass in Xuantie Camp at this time.

Looking at the remaining food in the booklet, he frowned.

There is no problem with these grains being enough for the Black Iron Army to survive the winter, but what about the Hua Family Army...

The newly reclaimed farmland in Anyang City will not be harvested until at least next autumn. This amount of surplus grain is not enough to support the two families until next autumn.

Ye Buhuo was still thinking about where to buy food when Hua Wuke pushed open the door and walked in.

Hua Wu Ke was wearing a peach pink skirt with a green cape on the outside, and her cheeks were a little red from walking too fast.

The whole person is like a peach bud about to bloom.

Ye Buhuo's gaze turned from cold to soft after he met the person who suddenly caught his sight.

He stood up and walked forward, touched Hua Wu Ke's slightly hot cheek, and asked:

"Is there something wrong with Sui Sui?"

He asked as he took her hand and led her to sit down on a chair.

"Are you going to the border?"

"Well, we'll leave in three days. I was planning to tell you when I went to the General's Mansion today, but I didn't expect you to come."

"You can take the cloth I won at the Qiulu Banquet to the border, as well as some food and fodder, but not much.

You take the cloth with you and distribute it so that the soldiers of the Black Iron Army and the Hua Family Army can have a good winter."

The cloth was just enough for the Hua family army to use.

But Hua Wu Ke thought that his grandfather and father must have already made preparations for the winter, and perhaps some of the cloth he sent could be distributed to the Xuantie Camp.

Listening to the implicit meaning of Hua Wu Ke's words, it seemed that the Xuantie Army and the Hua Family Army were treated as one family.

A warm current surged in Ye Buhuo's chest. He stroked Hua Wuke's hair with a smile and said:

"Don't worry Sui Sui, the palace has also prepared winter clothes for the soldiers. With Sui Sui's cotton cloth, the soldiers will definitely be able to withstand the cold winter."

The winter clothing issue has been resolved.

Hua Wu Ke suddenly remembered what Ye Buhuo had just said, that he would leave in three days.

After he left, I spent the New Year alone in Beijing again this year...

"Can I go to the border with you?"

Hua Wu Ke's voice carried a hint of grievance.

Looking at Hua Wuke's drooping eyelashes and slightly pursed lips, Ye Buhuo felt a little distressed.

She will be left alone in this huge capital city again.

Ye Buhuo spoke with difficulty:

"Every year, the border is very cold. When the snow falls, everything is white and you can't even see a blade of grass..."

"You can spend the winter at the border. Grandfather, father, and brother also spent so many winters at the border. So can I!"

Hua Wu Ke interrupted him.

Ye Buhuo took Hua Wuke's hand, exerted a little force, and brought her into his arms.

Hugging her, he said:

"When this winter is over and the temperature starts to rise, the North Kingdom will attack at any time. Your father and I will have to go to the battlefield to meet the enemy. What will you do then?"

"I'm not afraid... I also have kung fu now, and I can help you on the battlefield."

Hua Wu Ke replied softly.

"I know you are good at martial arts now, but I know you are at the border, not far from the battlefield, or even on the battlefield.

How can you let me feel at ease?"

Hua Wu Ke stopped talking and just sat silently in his arms.

Hugging the person in his arms, Ye Buhuo continued:

"If Sui Sui doesn't want to spend the winter alone in the general's mansion, why don't you live in the prince's mansion?"

"I don't want to go to the palace alone if you're not here."

Ye Buhuo knew there was no solution to this problem and could only hug her.

Occasionally pat her on the back, hoping that she would feel less uncomfortable.

Two days later, Ye Buhuo had made all preparations to go to the border.

He was about to leave the capital tomorrow. Ye Buhuo stared at a painting spread out in front of him for a while. After a while, he put the painting away and walked out with it.

"Miss, the prince is here."

Qingmei reported to Hua Wuke who was sitting at the table reading a book.

Putting down the book in his hand, Hua Wu Ke casually put on his cloak.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ye Buhuo walking out of the yard.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ah."

Ye Buhuo responded.

"I'm leaving tomorrow and came to see you."

Hua Wu Ke brought the person into the room.

He poured him a cup of tea and said:

"You must be careful when you arrive at the border. I suspect Ye Chuji has planted spies in the Hua family army, which may be harmful to you and your grandfather."

"Don't worry every year."

Hua Wu Ke talked to Ye Buhuo about many things in detail.

It's nothing more than reminding him to pay attention to safety and be careful of the enemy's tricks.

Ye Buhuo listened patiently and agreed to everything.

It was already night, and Ye Buhuo would have to order his troops to leave tomorrow morning, so Hua Wuke sent him out.

When they parted, Hua Wu Ke seemed to suddenly have a lot of things to say.

But Hua Wu Ke opened his mouth, and all he could say turned into just one sentence, "I'll wait for you to come back."
