Chapter 13 The Northern War

Gu Yunshuang did not break his promise, and when Ning Zihan went to Weiyang Palace two days later, Gu Yunshuang cooked a table full of dishes.He was right, they were all home-cooked dishes, such as stir-fried pork with celery, steamed carp, and braised pork.It was not as exquisite as the chef's cooking, but Ning Zihan felt that this meal was the most comfortable meal he had ever eaten in his life.Coupled with the peach blossom wine made by Gu Yunshuang himself, it is the most precious delicacy in the world in Ning Zihan's heart.

Gu Yunshuang said that Ning Zihan was a beauty in the eye of the beholder.Ning Zihan smiled and said, "I see Pan An in the eyes of husband and wife."

After thinking about it, Ning Zihan said again, "Yunshuang, you can cook for me every day from now on. I'm already tired of eating those made by the imperial chef."

Gu Yunshuang looked at him with a smile and said, "You are tired of eating so much at the Imperial Kitchen Club. I only know how to eat a little. Maybe you won't eat any more after a few days."

Ning Zihan smiled softly, "How can I get tired of the food you cook? How can I be willing to get tired of it?"

Gu Yunshuang felt that the atmosphere was getting a bit weird again, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "I think my mother hasn't had lunch yet, so I'll make some and send it to her later. Although it's not good, I can ask my mother to try something new."

"Okay, then I'll watch you cook, the queen mother must want to know how the food you cook tastes like." Ning Zihan said while eating.

Gu Yunshuang poured him a cup of tea beside him, and said, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab you, so be careful of choking."

"You know? I'm afraid you are the only one in the whole world who dares to talk to me like that."

Gu Yunshuang's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly paused.His eyes moved to Ning Zihan's face, and he looked at Ning Zihan quietly.

Ning Zihan also looked up at him, put down his chopsticks, held Gu Yunshuang's hand tightly, and said softly, "But, I like it."

When Ning Zihan said this, Gu Yunshuang saw the radiant charm in his eyes, and for some reason, suddenly had the urge to kiss the person in front of him.With that in mind, he did just that.How could Ning Zihan refuse the door-to-door benefits? By the time Gu Yunshuang realized it, Ning Zihan's lips and tongue had already become entangled with her.

At the end of the long kiss, Ning Zihan said in a hoarse voice, "If you provoke me, you will be responsible."

Gu Yunshuang pushed Ning Zihan away, "You don't want to prostitute yourself during the day, do you?"

As soon as Ning Zihan saw Gu Yunshuang's expression, he knew it was absolutely impossible, so let's wait until the evening.

Gu Yunshuang looked at Ning Zihan's fluctuating expression with a half-smile, turned around and said, "Go and put out the fire for yourself, I'll go and prepare lunch for my mother."

With a bitter face, Ning Zihan went to the common room to take a shower, quenched the newly raised desire and fire, and then went to the small kitchen of Weiyang Palace.

When he arrived at the small kitchen, Gu Yunshuang was chopping vegetables, Ning Zihan gently wrapped his arms around him from behind, with his chin resting on Gu Yunshuang's shoulder.

Gu Yunshuang looked at his childish appearance, sighed inaudibly, and said helplessly, "How can I chop vegetables like this, it will hurt you."

"It's okay, I'm willing to be hurt by you."

"That might still hurt me."

Ning Zihan immediately let go of his hand and said, "I'd better watch you cut. Be careful, don't hurt yourself. I will die of love."

Gu Yunshuang blushed slightly, "I'm a martial arts practitioner, so I'm not so useless, I can cut any vegetable."

Looking at Gu Yunshuang's proficient sword skills, Ning Zihan thought in his heart, what more could a husband ask for if he had a wife like this.

The next process is proceeding in an orderly manner, Ning Zihan has been watching from the side, Gu Yunshuang turned around and said, "The emperor is so free today, don't you need to approve the papers?"

Ning Zihan smiled slightly, "You are more important than the government."

Just like that, when the meal was finished, it was already noon, and Gu Yunshuang hurriedly dragged Ning Zihan to leave without even calling for the chariot, for fear that the Queen Mother had already had her meal.

Ning Zihan was a little funny seeing him in a hurry, Gu Yunshuang was always very calm, but it was just such a changeable Gu Yunshuang that made him like it more and more. "Slow down, I have already told the queen mother not to pass the meal at noon."

Gu Yunshuang only slowed down when he heard these words.Fortunately, Jianning Palace is not far from Weiyang Palace, and the meal was still hot when we arrived.

The queen mother still sat in the top seat so gently, but both Gu Yunshuang and Ning Zihan could see that the queen mother was still very haggard. Presumably the fake pregnancy of Concubine Die was really a big blow to the queen mother who wanted to have a grandson.Gu Yunshuang's hand couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen. It's not easy for a man to get pregnant, not to mention that she was injured on the battlefield. I don't know when I will be able to satisfy the Queen Mother's wish.Originally, the royal family had no shortage of children, but he made this old man who loved his grandson so uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Gu Yunshuang suddenly felt that he was a little sorry for Ning Zihan and Queen Mother Wenxi.

Of course, Ning Zihan also saw the Empress Dowager's haggardness, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Gu Yunshuang's face. He knew that Gu Yunshuang was blaming himself and feeling guilty, so he shook his hand and said silently, "It's okay. Don't worry, We'll have kids."

The queen mother had already picked up the chopsticks and tasted the sweet and sour pork in front of her. The taste was not as good as the usual ones, but it still felt like home.Just like what my mother did when I was a child.The birth mother of Empress Dowager Wenxi was just a commoner woman, and by chance she would marry Wen Huaiyuan, the prime minister at the time. His mother was very good at cooking and had a good relationship with his father. Unfortunately, she was so beautiful. Empress Dowager Wenxi died when she was 13 years old. After he passed away, his father fell ill with love, and went with his mother after he got married.

Tasting these ordinary but delicious dishes, the empress dowager's eyes turned red. She knew that her beloved died early, and what kind of pain the person left behind would go through. The empress dowager Wenxi's eyes swept across Gu Yunshuang's thin body, It's Ning Zihan's body again, I hope that my child will not suffer the pain of life like his own father.Of course, Ning Zihan in the previous life endured this kind of torture for 30 years, and the sadness in it may be really hard for others to understand.

Seeing the empress dowager's expression, Gu Yunshuang thought that what she had cooked was too unpalatable, so she quickly asked, "Mother, do these dishes not suit your taste?" Gu Yunshuang regarded the empress dowager as his mother, and the empress dowager's opinion was of course very important.

Hearing Gu Yunshuang's words, the Queen Mother shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "It's delicious, but the Queen Mother just remembered the past."

Gu Yunshuang was a little depressed. The wine she brewed would arouse Ning Zihan's sadness, and the food she cooked made the Empress Dowager's eyes red.However, Gu Yunshuang still smiled and said to the Queen Mother, "It's good that the Queen Mother doesn't dislike her."

When he came out from the Empress Dowager, Ning Zihan went to the imperial study to review the papers, and within a short time, Anxi came to report that General Gu asked to see him.

Ning Zihan raised his eyebrows, this is his father-in-law, so he must treat him well.

When Gu Lin came in, Ning Zihan could clearly see the tired look on Gu Lin's face.I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.Just as Gu Lin was about to kneel down, Ning Zihan picked him up, "Gu Qing and I are a family, so we don't need these vain gifts." Then Ning Zihan gave Gu Lin a seat before asking, "Is Gu Qing coming to the palace for family affairs or For national affairs?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Lin stood up and said, "Qizou the emperor, Liang Cheng, the border guard, rushed to report today that Beibang suddenly attacked the border."

"What? There's a war in the north?" Ning Zihan was shocked. He knew that these northerners would not be honest, but he didn't expect them to invade so soon.

Thinking of this, Ning Zihan frowned deeply, "How many people are there in Beibang?"

"Back to the emperor, according to incomplete statistics, there are about 20."

Hearing Gu Lin's words, Ning Zihan's expression became more serious, "My frontier defenders are only [-], and Beibang has spent such a large amount of money."

Gu Lin said even more angrily, "These northern barbarians are doing all kinds of crimes in Ming City by burning, killing and looting because of the large number of people."

Ning Zihan's face turned cold in an instant, and he swiped his sleeves to sweep down the memorial on the case table, and said coldly, "I really don't take my Daxia people and I seriously."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Beibang violated our borders regardless of morality. I ask you to lead troops to go out to help the defenders."

Ning Zihan also knew that the Beibang people were full of tricks, and if they wanted to win this battle, they had to let Gu Lin play the role.

"Okay, I will now order you to be the Marshal of Zhengbei. Tomorrow, we will order [-] troops on the school grounds, prepare food and grass, and the army will leave in three days."

"My humble minister thanked the emperor, but I still have something to ask."

"Go ahead."

"I hope that the emperor will not tell the empress about my expedition. I don't want the empress to worry about me."

Ning Zihan smiled wryly, "Can you hide it?"That's Gu Yunshuang.But Ning Zihan still said that he must play.

After Gu Lin left, Ning Zihan stroked his forehead. Beibang's crime must not be a whim.On the surface there is a 20 army, but the number of reinforcements behind it is not clear, not to mention the despicable and changeable Beibang people. My third uncle died at the hands of the Beibang people back then. The third uncle's use of troops is no worse than Gu Lin's. Once, even for Gu Lin, it won't be an easy battle.What's more, Gu Lin is Gu Yunshuang's biological father, if there is any problem, how should he explain to Gu Yunshuang.Ning Zihan knew that Gu Yunshuang was a generalist, and he valued the people of his family and country more than his own life.Even if Gu Lin died in battle, he would not say a word, but it is Gu Yunshuang who keeps everything in his heart, which makes Ning Zihan more worried and distressed.Ning Zihan also knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long, but he could only take one step at a time, as long as it could be kept secret.

At night, Ning Zihan and Gu Yunshuang still ate and slept together, of course, just sleeping.But Gu Yunshuang could still see Ning Zihan's absent-mindedness.Gu Yunshuang knew that Ning Zihan must have a problem with the government, and this problem will not be small.But he is a member of the harem after all, so it is not easy to ask these words, he can only comfort Ning Zihan not to worry, everything will pass.
