I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

The old eunuch scrambled back behind the soldier and said, "General, you misunderstood me. How dare I question you? I will go back and report back."

He then ran out of the door without even having a sip of water, and left the Zhenbei Palace in a panic.

This was the only time I was treated like this after becoming the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

The old eunuch was filled with resentment and was determined to complain to the emperor when he returned.

In the palace, Gu Dingbei's face was gloomy.

The old princess stepped forward to comfort him, "Bei'er, it's okay, just hold it for now."

Shen Lianxin secretly glanced at the princess. She was indeed not an ordinary old lady. She remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis, and her whole body had a noble and elegant temperament.

Gu Dingbei nodded.

He turned around and comforted the old princess.

Dinner ended like this. Shen Lianxin didn’t eat much. She returned to Huatingyuan and asked the small kitchen to make some more food.

What was served was only some light porridge and side dishes. Shen Lianxin frowned, feeling unhappy. The food was really not good enough.

Gu Dingbei saw what Shen Lianxin was thinking and comforted her softly, "Lianxin, the palace has lived frugally for many years, and most of the money has been used to subsidize the army. If you are greedy, use the private money I gave you to buy some meat for yourself."

Shen Lianxin smiled, she understood. But the children still had to grow up, it was impossible to mistreat herself or the children.

Now that she is here, the food in the palace should be improved.

Shen Lianxin drank some porridge to fill her stomach.

"You're leaving tomorrow?"

Gu Dingbei looked at her affectionately, with reluctance in his eyes, "Yes, life on the border is hard, I am going to exchange for my father to come back. If the Hu people stop attacking, I will be back soon."

Shen Lianxin leaned towards Gu Dingbei and nestled in his arms. They had just met, but now they were about to separate. Shen Lianxin felt a little sad. "The food and grass in the border area will only last until the end of the year. What if the court refuses to support us?"

Gu Dingbei took a deep breath and said, "I will report to the court again. I can't let them go to the battlefield hungry again."

Gu Dingbei showed a sad expression on his face. Many of his comrades died of hunger and weakness. They were all good men who defended the territory of the Great Ying Dynasty with their lives. How could the high and mighty people let them starve? The hearts of the frontier soldiers were chilled.

Shen Lianxin felt a little distressed, and leaned closer to his arms, saying to him, and also to herself, "I will never let you go to the battlefield on an empty stomach again!!"

After a sleepless night, Shen Lianxin once again felt the masculinity of Gu Dingbei.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Shen Lianxin fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Gu Dingbei had already left.

The princess did love her, knowing that he came from the countryside and didn't know the rules, and she didn't have any demands on her.

Gu Dingbei had said that as long as they were happy, mother and son would be happy! Although Shen Lianxin came from the countryside, she was different from ordinary women. It was Shen Lianxin who got the emergency food and grass for the Zhenbei Army.

Upon hearing the news, the princess was shocked. The savior of the 20-strong Zhenbei Army turned out to be this so-called village woman.

The princess therefore treated Shen Lianxin even more tenderly and exempted her from all greetings and rules.

Knowing that Gu Dingbei had left, Shen Lianxin felt a little disappointed.

But now that she is in the palace, she must make good use of the resources at hand.

First of all, Shen Lianxin attaches the most importance to the children's studies.

There were special teachers in the palace, and Gu Chengzhen could also study with them.

After studying both literature and martial arts every day, Gu Chengan was finally able to formally practice martial arts.

Horse riding and archery, shooting the target through a hundred paces, and practicing both sword and knife, Gu Chengan likes everything.

But cultural subjects must also be learned. Just like Gu Chengzhen, who studied cultural subjects at a young age, even if she didn't like it, she had to learn some kung fu from her brothers.

The books Shen Lianxin gave them were also changed to Miscellaneous Talks, Encyclopedia of Plants and Animals, Secrets of the Biological World and Human Body, etc. The scope of the books was wider, from military tactics to popular science, allowing the children to understand the world from a fresh and different perspective.

The contents of the book were shocking to the world, and many of the theories in it were things they had never heard of or seen before.

This made them obsessed with the books given by Shen Lianxin. Gradually, they also realized the value of these books.

Half a month passed, and there was still no information about the supplies from the court. The court just kept urging Prince Zhenbei to come to the capital.

The old princess was so worried that she couldn't sleep all day and looked haggard. Once she entered Kyoto, it would be the emperor's territory. If His Majesty wanted to kill her, it would be easy.

The soldiers on the frontier had no idea where to get winter clothes, and imperial edicts urged the prince to come to the capital one after another.

One morning, the King of Zhenbei returned to his palace. He was an old man with a vigorous spirit, a heroic figure, and a strong aura of evil. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, his battle robe was solemn, his armor was shining, and he looked like he had experienced many battles.

But the graying temples showed that the general was old and frail.

"Your Highness!" The Princess and Concubine Liu came forward with tears in their eyes.

The prince nodded, and Shen Lianxin followed the crowd and bowed silently.

The old prince glanced at Shen Lianxin in the crowd and asked, "Is this Bei'er's Crown Prince Consort?"

Shen Lianxin stepped forward and saluted, and the princess smiled and responded, "This is Shen, a good one!"

The old prince nodded and smiled kindly. Shen Lianxin called out, "Father!"

Seeing Gu Chengxin, Gu Chengan, Gu Chengjing, and Gu Chengzhen's grandchildren, he was so happy that he hugged them one by one.

"Your Highness, will you not leave now that you are back this time?" The princess looked at the old prince expectantly.

The old prince sighed, "The capital has issued three imperial edicts to summon me to the capital. It has taken so long, and it is time to meet him."

The princess looked gloomy, she was afraid that this trip would be extremely dangerous! !

The prince patted the princess's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will make good arrangements. The court does not pay the soldiers, and the soldiers are having a hard time. I will personally ask your majesty for winter clothes!!"

This time, we had to go. The soldiers on the frontier were still wearing old, leaky winter clothes from a few years ago, and many of them were filled with dry straw instead of cotton. The wind would blow through them, and they didn't keep us warm at all.

The prince had fought in battles all his life and could not bear to see his soldiers suffering so much, so he decided to go to Kyoto himself to ask for food and wages for the army.

Shen Lianxin was moved, "Father, I did some business in Yuncheng and I have some money, which can provide winter clothes for our soldiers."

The old prince looked over, pleasantly surprised, "Really? Good boy. If possible, I would like to thank you on behalf of the 35 soldiers in the army!!"

Shen Lianxin quickly stood up and saluted, "Father, you don't have to do this. This is what I should do."

"Even if we only provide a few hundred sets of cotton-padded clothes, it can make life better for hundreds of soldiers." The old prince nodded and looked at Shen Lianxin with appreciation. He thought that what Shen Lianxin meant by providing was just a few hundred or a thousand sets at most. How could a village woman doing a small business supply hundreds of thousands of people?

The princess and Concubine Liu also said that there were some jewelry in the room that could be sold, and they could use the money to buy some winter clothes for the soldiers.

The second and third wives also donated their few possessions to buy winter clothes for the soldiers.
