On May 15, the Yuan and Shang fought their first battle. Perhaps it was a first test, the Yuan retreated quickly with few casualties.

The two largest countries on the continent are at war, and the other small countries are watching silently. At this time, they generally do not participate, and wait until the end to make some choices that are beneficial to the country.

After that, the Yuan Dynasty would send out troops to provoke from time to time, but would quickly withdraw, leaving the Shang soldiers so angry that they had no choice.

Ruan Yufeng knew that the Yuan Dynasty was trying to wear them down, waiting for the day when they were tired and the Yuan Dynasty would attack them unexpectedly. He stabilized the morale of the army every day, so that no one would be careless and be ready for battle.

The army and food supplies sent by Shang Yue to support also arrived.

Shang Yue still received secret letters about the border war situation on his desk every day.

It is worth mentioning that when the war between the Yuan Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty broke out, spies from various countries in the country became restless and many were captured. Even a group of spies who were about to transport several carts of potatoes were intercepted.

As time goes by, Le Xuan and Le Ci become more and more beautiful, with fair and tender skin, big round eyes, and look very similar to Shang Yue and Nan Yan. When they smile, they can melt everyone's heart.

The first thing Leyu Lezhi did after school was to go to Changle Palace to play with his two younger brothers.

Changle Palace is filled with the laughter of several children every day.

At noon that day, as soon as Shang Yue entered Changle Palace, he heard the silver bell-like laughter of children, especially his own daughter. A smile flashed across his eyes, because his worries about the border war dissipated a little.

"Father, you're here! I haven't seen you for several days." As Shang Yue walked into the hall, little Lezhi rushed over like a little cannonball.

"Father, I miss you so much!"

The soft voice entered Shang Yue's ears, and his heart softened.

He bent down and picked up the little girl, walked over, took Le Yu's hand and walked into the inner hall.

Like her sister, Le Yu hadn't seen Shang Yue for a few days. As the father who had been with them since childhood and had never been absent at any time, Le Yu missed him very much.

But he was not as emotional as his sister. He just took a few steps forward and then stopped.

Nan Yan was playing with the two kids in the inner hall. When she saw him come in, she looked up and asked, "Ayue, why are you here today?"

"I haven't seen you and the kids for a few days. I came to see you."

He put the two big ones down and hugged the two smaller ones in turn.

After staying in Changle Palace for a while, he felt much more relaxed.

Half an hour later, he returned to the imperial study and summoned the Minister of War to discuss matters in the afternoon.

Three days later, the Yuan Dynasty, which had been harassing for half a month, launched its first large-scale attack. Fortunately, Ruan Yufeng had people keeping a close eye on him and taking every war seriously, even if it was a provocation from the other side.

The casualties on both sides were several times greater than in the first battle.

When the battle situation was reported to the palace, Shang Yue sat in the imperial study for a long time holding the secret letter.

On the day of the day.

Wang Dequan was afraid that something might happen to the emperor at this critical juncture, so he could only report it to Nan Yan immediately.

Nan Yan guessed that the reason he did this was because he received confidential documents from the border.

She ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare some food, handed the two children to a nanny, and had someone bring the meal to her as she went to the imperial study.

When Wang Dequan, who was waiting at the door, saw Nan Yan, he felt like he had seen a savior and hurriedly went up to greet her.

"This old servant pays respect to the Majesty."

"No need to be polite, Eunuch Wang." Nan Yan looked at the tightly closed door of the imperial study, "Has the emperor not come out since this morning?"

"Yes." Wang Dequan answered truthfully.

Nan Yan just felt a surge of anger rising in her stomach. She was angry that he didn't take good care of his body, but at the same time she felt helpless and distressed.

"Knock on the door!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Wang Dequan trotted over and knocked on the door of the imperial study. After a moment, a cold voice with a hint of anger suppressed came from inside.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

Wang Dequan, who had served Shang Yue since childhood, knew that the emperor was on the verge of anger. His hand trembled and he almost took it back. If it was someone else, he would probably be punished later, but now it was the queen.

He raised his voice and said to the inside: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here to see you."

There was no movement inside, and Wang Dequan was a little surprised. In the past, the emperor would have asked the empress to go in.

Could it be that the Emperor doesn't even care about the Empress today?

Just as Wang Dequan was daydreaming, the door in front of him suddenly opened with a creak.

When he looked up, he saw his own emperor standing before him, and he quickly stepped aside.

Obviously, he was overthinking it. The queen was still the one and only queen in the emperor's heart.

"Yan'er, why are you here?" Facing Nan Yan, his voice was unspeakably soft.

"What do you think?" Nan Yan rolled her eyes at the man. "I heard that you have been sitting in the imperial study since this morning. Why don't you take care of yourself?"

Shang Yue felt guilty and said nothing.

Nan Yan sighed in her heart, without thinking too much, she took the man's big hand and walked inside.

"I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some food and bring it over. You can have some."

"Okay." In front of Nan Yan, whatever Nan Yan said was what he did.

He was obediently led by Nan Yan into the imperial study.

Even though he had seen the emperor change his expression in front of the queen many times, Wang Dequan still felt a little uncomfortable.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

I wonder when the Emperor will be able to treat them the same way he treats the Empress.

Then he thought of the emperor's gentle expression towards them and quickly shook his head. Forget it, forget it, this is good enough.

If he treated them the same way he treated the Queen, he would think that the Emperor wanted to silence them.

Shang Yue was in a restless mood when he was in the imperial study just now and didn't feel hungry. Now he felt hungry when he saw the food brought by Nan Yan on the table.

He was very considerate and finished the meal that Nan Yan brought, and he also successfully coaxed Nan Yan into a good mood.

After the meal, Shang Yue told Nan Yan the news from the border, and Nan Yan fell silent.

As a modern soul, she faced war for the first time. In the current era of underdeveloped medical technology, the number of casualties was staggering.

No wonder Shang Yue is like this today.

As a good emperor who works diligently and loves his people, Shang Yue's greatest ambition is for his people to live and work in peace and contentment. Now that many of his people have lost their lives in the war, how can he feel good about it?

"When I first went to the battlefield more than a decade ago, I saw the devastation, corpses and broken walls everywhere. At that time, I thought how good it would be if there was no war."

"I tried my best to defeat the Yuan Dynasty, but I didn't expect that after only a dozen years of peace, I would have to face war again and face the lives of countless people."

When he said these words, his face and voice were calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, but his narrowed eyes and clenched fists proved that he was not calm.

Nan Yan pulled his hand, spread out her fingers one by one, and clasped them together.
