With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly
Chapter 208 The imperial commander’s personal expedition
Nan Yan left the man alone for several days until the fifth day of the first lunar month.
After this lesson, the man was much more obedient in the next few days.
The families of generals who had not returned from fighting at the border were all given gifts, which was considered a kind of consolation from the court.
This spring, potatoes were planted in all the villages in Dashang.
According to reports from the Shang Dynasty's spies lurking in various countries, several countries had stolen potato seeds and were secretly cultivating them.
This includes the Yuan Dynasty.
The war with the Yuan Dynasty has lasted for a year, and neither country has benefited from it.
The longer the war lasts, the more troops, food, herbs, etc. are consumed.
Shang Yue made a decision, which he had been thinking about since the war began last year. What forced him to make up his mind were the lives of the soldiers.
If the war is not ended soon, the number of casualties will only increase.
In the imperial study, he was holding a memorial in his hand and seemed to be reading it. However, if you look closely, you can find that his eyes are out of focus and he is staring at the memorial in a daze.
After sitting there blankly for a while, he stood up and walked out of the imperial study, heading straight towards Changle Palace.
When he arrived at Changle Palace, he heard the courtyard filled with laughter.
"Xuanxuan, Cici, be good and come to your mother."
"The Third and Fourth Princes are awesome, go find the Empress."
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."
"Mother...ah...Mother..."
The two little ones, who are almost one year old, are learning to walk. They are wobbly and could fall down at any time, but they still try their best to move towards their mother.
That hard-working little look is so adorable.
When the palace maids watching on the side saw Shang Yue, they immediately put away the smiles on their faces and saluted.
"See the Emperor."
The two children also stopped and turned to look in the direction of Shang Yue. Suddenly they smiled and their eyes curved into crescents.
"Father..."
"Father..."
They changed direction and staggered towards Shang Yue.
Shang Yue squatted down, opened his arms, and looked at them gently.
When there was only one small step left, they threw themselves directly into his arms.
He held the two children in his arms.
"Father, father..."
The two little guys held him and cried non-stop, which made Nan Yan feel a little jealous.
These two brats, after seeing their father, everyone else seemed to disappear.
Shang Yue raised his eyes to look at Nan Yan, and met her somewhat resentful gaze.
He was stunned at first, thinking that he had been well-behaved and listened to her these days, including in bed, so he should not have made her angry, right?
Nan Yan was caught being jealous of the two children and turned her head away embarrassedly.
He saw her series of reactions, looked down at the two children in his arms, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.
He patted the two children on the back, raised his chin in the direction of Nan Yan, and said softly: "Xuan Xuan, Ci Ci, go find your mother quickly."
The two children came out of Shang Yue's arms, staggered towards Nan Yan, and threw themselves into Nan Yan's arms.
They fell a lot in the past few days, but today they were much more stable and didn't fall.
The man, who had always been very busy, spent the entire afternoon in Changle Palace, accompanying Nan Yan and several children.
He would occasionally look out the window in deep thought, and sometimes get distracted when playing with the children. Nan Yan saw his series of reactions and a trace of deep thought flashed through her mind.
At night, after the children fell asleep, Nan Yan was held in the man's arms, silently. The two did not speak, and their shallow breathing sounds were particularly clear in the dead of night.
This is a good time to do bad things, and in the past men would not miss it.
Nan Yan stared at the white jade teacup on the table with her round almond-shaped eyes and spoke slowly: "Ayue, do you have anything to say today?"
Shang Yue paused.
Nan Yan was hugged by him, and she could clearly feel his reaction.
"Yan'er, I..." Shang Yue didn't know what to say.
"Just tell me what you want to say. It's not your nature to be hesitant."
Shang Yue thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. He turned the woman with her back to him around, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.
"Yan'er, I do have something I want to tell you."
He avoided Nan Yan's eyes, not wanting to see her reaction later.
"I want to lead the army myself."
Nan Yan's eyes and heart trembled slightly, and she bent the slender knuckles placed at her side.
The hall returned to silence, even quieter than before.
After a long while, Nan Yan finally found herself again, "Go if you want to!"
Shang Yue glanced at her eyes which had suddenly turned red, and he immediately felt deflated.
"Yan'er." He held Nan Yan's shoulders with both hands, a struggle flashed in his eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I'm just talking, it's not confirmed yet! There are no arrangements for the court affairs. I thought about it carefully and decided..."
Before he could finish the word "forget it", Nan Yan suddenly interrupted him.
"Ayue, stop making excuses. I know you want to go."
He suddenly became speechless.
Yan'er was right, he wanted to go.
But he is no longer the same person he was a dozen years ago. He now has a whole country, a wife and children, and he has to consider their thoughts.
Nan Yan held the man's face with both hands, forcing him to look directly at her.
"Ayue, what I want to say is that if you want to go, go ahead. As your wife, I know that any decision you make is carefully considered, and I support any decision you make."
"It's just that you have a wife and children now. You can't just fight like you did more than a decade ago. Do you understand?"
Shang Yue felt warmth surrounding his limbs, and her words warmed every corner of his body.
He was so touched that he couldn't help but hug the person in his arms, holding her tightly.
"Yan'er, thank you. Having you is the luckiest thing in my life." When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.
Nan Yan hugged the man back, "Me too, marrying you is the happiest thing for me."
The two of them fell asleep hugging each other tightly.
On the second day, Shang Yue told the Queen Mother that he wanted to lead the army in person. The Queen Mother said that she respected his and Nan Yan's ideas.
After Nan Yan and the Queen Mother agreed, Shang Yue summoned Zhao Yun and Nan Hui into the palace, and they stayed in the imperial study for four consecutive afternoons.
Shang Yue arranged everything, and when he announced the news that he would lead the army in person during the morning court session, many ministers expressed opposition.
The Imperial Censor looked at the Prime Minister who was leading the army and said, "Prime Minister, please persuade the Emperor. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The Emperor cannot lead the army in person!"
"Yes! Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Your Majesty, you can't go!"
Nan Hui, who was mentioned, said calmly: "I support all the decisions of the emperor."
Shang Yue had made up his mind, and since the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister said nothing, the matter had to be decided like this.
His decision also caused quite a stir in the capital, as everyone was afraid that something might happen to him on the battlefield.
The prince is still young, only seven years old. If something happens to the emperor, how can such a young prince take on the responsibility of such a big country?
