The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Due to the death of the two princes, this year's New Year festivals inside and outside the palace were not very lively, and the Lantern Festival, which should have been lively, passed silently.

On the sixteenth day, Yan Muyun brought Qing Ge'er to visit Prince Rong's mansion. She came to say goodbye to Yan Muxi temporarily.

The Ge family's grandmother is seriously ill. Aunt Ge is worried about her mother, but she is busy with Yan Yongchen's case. After Gu Yunting learns about this, he proposes that he and Yan Muyun go to Jincheng to visit Ge's mother on behalf of Aunt Ge.

Hearing the reason, Yan Muxi expressed doubt, "Did Gu Yunting take the initiative to propose to go to Jincheng, and bring Qing Ge'er with him?"

Qing'er was less than four months old. Jincheng was thousands of miles away from Luodu. It was a bit unusual for Gu Yunting to take a child who was only a few months old to travel thousands of miles just to visit his wife's grandmother.

Yan Muyun nodded, "Well, he took the initiative to bring it up. It's useless for anyone to object, and we have to leave tomorrow morning. By the way, this is the Gu worm you asked me for. I prepared an extra pair for you in case you accidentally ruin it."

"Sorry to bother you, third sister." Yan Muxi took the porcelain bottle she handed over, stood up, took out a stack of silver bills from the dressing table, and stuffed them into Qing'er's swaddling clothes.

Yan Muyun glared, "Second brother, what are you doing? They are just two pairs of insect poisons, how can they be worth so much money. Besides, it is too hurtful for sisters to treat helping each other as a business deal."

Yan Muxi was only concerned with teasing Qing Ge'er and didn't look at her. "You and I have no feelings for each other, so how can I be hurt?"

Yan Muyun took out the banknote from the swaddling clothes and stuffed it back to Yan Muxi, "I won't let you hurt your feelings and your heart! Put your filthy money away. Although Gu Yunting hasn't been on duty for two years, my life is not so poor that I need help from others."

Yan Muxi stopped joking, "This money is not for nothing. It is the share of the profits from the recipes you gave me. You don't have to be so high-handed and polite to me. I am from my maternal ancestors, and I am good at business and calculation. This money is only a small part of it. It is the share you deserve. I didn't give you a penny more."

Hearing this, Yan Muyun was even more unwilling to accept it. She had given the prescription away in the first place, and it was not a business partnership. She had never thought about taking a share of the profits. She couldn't think that it was her right to take advantage of others just because they could make money.

The money could not be given away, Yan Muxi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and forcefully stuffed the banknotes into Qing'er's swaddling clothes again, "If you don't want it, I'll give it to Qing'er. Your dear mother doesn't know the good of money, and you're stupid enough to push it away. Our Qing'er is not stupid, he's saving money to get married."

Seeing that Yan Muxi insisted on giving it to her, Yan Muyun could only accept the banknote for the time being, thinking about returning it when she left. Suddenly, she remembered something else, "By the way, have you tried the method of helping pregnancy that I taught you last time?"

Yinxia coughed lightly, reminding her not to bring up things that were not relevant. After adapting for more than half a month, her own prince's wife was finally in a good mood. But now that she was talking about having sex to prepare for pregnancy, she was upset again.

Seeing that the master and servants looked unhappy, Yan Muyun reacted, "Why, did you have a quarrel with the prince, second brother?"

Yan Muxi kept silent with a sullen face. She asked curiously, "Why are you quarreling during the New Year?"

"Nothing, Yu Wantai went shopping and slept with another woman." Yan Muxi said in a light tone.

Visiting brothels and sleeping with concubines are things that all rich young men would do. She got angry with Yu Wantai about this. When she looked into it carefully, it turned out that she was jealous and committed one of the seven offenses. If anyone told others about it, she would not be in the right.

Unexpectedly, Yan Muyun slammed the table in anger with a "bang". "You should quarrel with him. He is too much. He is unfaithful and unclean. You should divorce him, second brother."

Qing Ge'er was so scared that he shivered, and his chubby face was stunned. Yan Muxi thought the little guy was going to cry, and was about to pick him up to comfort him, but unexpectedly Qing Ge'er screamed, danced with joy, and laughed so hard that drool was streaming down his face.

Yan Muxi awkwardly withdrew her outstretched hand and praised halfheartedly, "Your son is quite special!"

Yan Muyun rolled her eyes at her. "My son is not stupid, he is just tougher and bolder. There is no need to beat around the bush. Don't talk about my son, talk about your son. No, talk about your man. What are you going to do? Do you still want Yu Wantai?"

Yin Xia, who was standing by, clenched her fists when she heard this. Not only did she not try to stop a couple from quarreling, she even fanned the flames and forced them to divorce. The key point was that a marriage arranged by the royal family could not result in divorce at all. This was just adding fuel to the fire!

Yan Muyun was really not adding fuel to the fire. If the same thing happened to her, if Gu Yunting went to a brothel and slept with another woman, even if she couldn't divorce him, she would never live a good life with Gu Yunting again.

She is a modern soul who cannot accept the physical and mental filthiness of her partner. However, in ancient times when men could have many wives and concubines, it was common for men to visit brothels and sleep with women. His wife once wanted a divorce, so these reasons for her anger were not valid.

After sending Yan Muyun back, seeing Dongyu looking angry, Yan Muxi asked, "What are you angry about?"

Dongyu wanted to hold it back, but after a few attempts, she couldn't hold it back anymore and said angrily, "Miss San ran into the prince when she was leaving the house."

"So what if we bump into each other? Could it be that the third sister started to curse the prince?" Yan Muxi was full of doubts.

Dongyu shook her head and denied, "No, the Third Miss ignored the Prince."

"Then why are you angry?"

"The prince looked at the third young lady. Even after the mother and son had left the house, he was still staring at her. I think he still had some thoughts about the third young lady..." Facing Yinxia's sharp eyes, Dongyu swallowed the word "thoughts".

Yin Xia forced a smile and turned to persuade Yan Muxi, "Dongyu's eyesight is not good, and she likes to make noises the most. The Crown Prince's wife should not listen to her nonsense."

Yan Muxi looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he did not believe it. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "Is the prince out of the house again?"

Dongyu said truthfully, "He went out." She wanted to say that the prince followed the third lady out, but she was afraid that her lady would feel too upset after knowing it, so she didn't dare to say it.

"You go and guard the gate of the mansion. Tell me as soon as the prince returns." Yan Muxi instructed Dongyu.

However, Yu Wantai did not return home that night, just like the previous few days, and Yan Muxi was unable to wait for him in the end.

On the last day of the first lunar month, news of a battle came from the northern border that Yancheng had been lost.

The first war report from the northern border was not about the North Vietnamese uprising, but about the fall of Dafeng City.

The whole court was in an uproar and the emperor was furious. No one had expected that just over a year after the eldest princess' marriage, North Vietnam broke the agreement and declared war on Dafeng, and Dafeng was breached without receiving any information before the war.

The new emperor of North Vietnam personally led his troops to the city on New Year's Eve. Dafeng was completely unprepared and Yancheng was easily occupied by the enemy. Now Dafeng's troops have retreated to Dingzhou.

Emperor Yuanjing was furious not only because of the loss of territory, but also because of the criticism he received for his wrong decision. The diplomatic relations between the two countries that he had gained by marrying his princess ended up being a complete joke.

After his anger, he went to meet the enemy. Dafeng had already lost one city. If he lost another city, it would be a huge and indelible stain in his imperial history.

Dafeng values ​​civil officials over military ones, and there are not many generals who can be of great use. The people guarding the northern border now are the cronies of Emperor Yuanjing, who have been proven to be incapable of taking on important tasks.

In order to recapture the city from the North Vietnam, brave and capable generals are indispensable. The first people that Emperor Yuanjing thought of were Gu Yunting and Liao Yong.

Liao Yong has been serving in the Imperial Guards. Although he has made many military achievements, he has never been a commander-in-chief. The most suitable general to lead the reinforcements is none other than Gu Yunting.
