Baili Mingxiang wanted to give Zhao mama nothing else but a list of things to ask for.
"Mama, I've been taking care of the princess's meals for the past half a month. I've listed everything she likes, dislikes, and disgusts at the sight of."
Zhao mama was overjoyed. "Good, very good. I'll take a good look at it later."
Zhao mama had made many dishes and soups for lunch today because she was afraid that the princess wouldn't have anything to eat if she didn't make enough.
Some pregnant women had no appetite in the first trimester, some in the second, and some in the third. In short, there were great differences between individuals.
Zhao mama hadn't served the princess in a long time, so she didn't know what the princess's current situation was. With Baili Mingxiang's list, she immediately felt much more relaxed.
Baili Mingxiang told Zhao mama many more things, all of which were very detailed matters of daily life. Zhao mama committed all of them to memory.
Looking at Baili Mingxiang, Zhao mama couldn't help but feel a little regretful. How great would it be if this girl could stay by the princess's side?
But thinking about it carefully, there were only two paths for her if she stayed by the princess's side. She could either become His Highness's concubine in the future or be a maid for the rest of her life.
Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary wealthy families had many maids becoming concubines. Unfortunately, Zhao mama was very clear that this matter wouldn't work for His Highness. Miss Mingxiang would be delayed for the rest of her life if she stayed.
"Little Yu 'er has been gone for so long. Have you sent any letters?" Zhao mama asked seriously.
"Not yet. It's still far from Medical City to the Mysterious Continent. I heard from Guard Chu that we have to cross the Ice Sea before we can cross Northern Li's snowy mountains. Little Yu 'er should still be on her way, "Baili Mingxiang replied truthfully.
"That girl … Sigh, I really miss her." Zhao mama sighed softly.
Baili Mingxiang didn't linger. After chatting for a bit more, she left. After sending off Baili Mingxiang, Zhao mama carefully looked through the list. Who would've thought that the first thing on the disgusting list was an "old hen"?
Granny Zhao's face paled. One had to know that she had stewed several bowls of chicken soup today! Old hen stewed with yam, old hen stewed with pork belly, old hen stewed with pork ribs, old hen stewed with carrots, old hen stewed with chestnuts, and old hen broth with nothing added.
In short, the soup was all stewed with old hens as the main ingredient.
"Not good!"
Granny Zhao shouted and immediately ran to the kitchen. Naturally, she was going to cook the soup again.
As a result, Han Yunxi had a very comfortable lunch today. Meanwhile, the dozen or so Shadow Guard under Chu Xifeng's command all got to drink the chicken soup. Naturally, Long Fei Ye got to drink as well.
After dinner, Long Fei Ye said to Han Yunxi, "The soup is not bad."
"You think so too?" Han Yunxi smiled. "Do you know what the best drink is?"
"What is it?" Long Fei Ye asked curiously. Han Yunxi was a foodie, so anything she said was good had to be excellent.
"Old hen stewed with lobsters. Later, have the mermaids go to Fishery Island and catch some lobsters. You have to try it!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
"Alright," Long Fei Ye agreed easily.
Han Yunxi almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold it in.
After dinner, Han Yunxi saw that Long Fei Ye wasn't planning to go to the main camp. She couldn't help but say, "Baili Yuanlong's still waiting for you."
"There's an emergency, so he'll come," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
He had prepared a large tent in Rear Camp for meetings. It could hold a dozen or so people. There were no more than ten people in Baili Mingxiang's army who had the qualifications to discuss matters with him.
Baili Yuanlong had brought more than twenty deputy generals to receive him today. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to put Baili Yuanlong in his place, what better time would he have?
Although the strategist position in Yunning's barracks was very important, he didn't have to be stationed here. He could go straight to the western battlefield, or he could go to Northern Li.
He came to Yunning's barracks, but he didn't go to the main camp. Instead, he set up camp elsewhere. First, he wanted to give Han Yunxi a peaceful environment. Second, he wanted to tell the world that he didn't come to Yunning's barracks to favor the Baili Mingxiang. Third, he wanted to tell Baili Yuanlong, especially his subordinates, that although the Baili Mingxiang's army was so powerful that they could even raise troops for themselves, he wouldn't favor them or fear them.
What he was going to do next was not to restore the East Qin Empire or the Great Qin Empire. Instead, he was going to establish a brand new nation, a brand new dynasty.
Next, apart from the war in the western region and Northern Li, everyone was most concerned about the appointment of a king and the appointment of the civil and military officials after the founding of the nation.
He wanted to tell the world that he, Long Fei Ye, had the ability and courage to do so. He wouldn't appoint people by favoritism!
A complicated look flitted through Han Yunxi's eyes. She didn't need to ask any questions to figure out Long Fei Ye's intentions.
Long Fei Ye wanted to go to the conference tent, so Han Yunxi immediately followed him.
Long Feiye looked back without a word, but only stared at her with a deep gaze.
Han Yunxi chuckled. "Xu Donglin's letter should arrive today. I'll go back and rest when it arrives."
Xu Donglin's letter had arrived in the morning. It was a top-secret missive.
Gu Beiyue needed three kinds of plague poisons. He'd already heard that a small-scale plague had broken out in the war-torn western region. It was very similar to the plague poisons used by Gu Yuntian in the past. Gu Beiyue had already rushed over in person. Gu was still in Medical City concocting medicinal ingredients.
Gu Beiyue had tried to persuade Gu many times to let Mu Ling'er help, but Gu had refused.
Gu was right. Mu Ling'er would only cry if she knew the truth. She wouldn't be able to calm down and wouldn't be able to help. He understood everything that Mu Ling'er understood.
"Okay." Long Fei Ye readily agreed.
As soon as they entered the tent, Han Yunxi saw three large piles of memorials on the table. Long Fei Ye didn't have anyone he could trust. If Gu Beiyue was here, he would definitely be able to filter out many memorials that didn't need to be reviewed by him personally.
In this period of time, the various parties were still unsettled and the various powers were fiercely fighting in secret. It wasn't easy to find a completely neutral person! Han Yunxi knew that this matter had to be handled by her for the time being. She was now hoping that Xu Donglin's letter would come later.
After Long Fei Ye sat down, Han Yunxi sat down across from him. She brought over a pile of letters and memorials.
Long Fei Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. She was about to explain when Long Fei Ye lowered his head again.
Without a doubt, Long Fei Ye knew that he couldn't persuade this woman to leave. It was fine to let her look at the memorials as long as she didn't sit for too long.
It was extremely quiet in the large tent. The husband and wife sat like this, facing each other and burying their heads. Han Yunxi quickly helped Long Fei Ye sift out a pile of memorials.
"I've taken care of these on my own. These are all important. You have to look at them personally." Han Yunxi said seriously.
"Mm." Long Fei Ye responded and didn't raise his head. He was especially focused when dealing with the memorials and letters.
Han Yunxi leaned back in her chair and looked at his quiet face seriously.
It was said that women were beautiful when they were serious. In fact, when men were serious, they were especially charming. After so many years, Han Yunxi could still look at Long Fei Ye in a daze.
After so many years, Long Fei Ye had long been used to it. He let her look at him without batting an eyelid.
Han Yunxi looked at the empty seat at the side and muttered, "Long Fei Ye, if we have a son, let him sit at the side in the future and help you review these memorials, okay?"
Long Fei Ye looked at the letter in his hand, but he immediately replied to Han Yunxi, "Okay."
Han Yunxi smiled and didn't disturb him.
However, Long Fei Ye looked up and said, "Why hasn't Xu Donglin delivered the letter yet?"
"It should be soon, right?" Han Yunxi said anxiously, "Long Fei Ye, let's discuss the matter of Northern Li."
Because Long Feiye had expressed his desire for a peaceful resolution, the generals stationed at the western borders were all trying to figure out his intentions while trying to find ways to negotiate with Western Zhou's imperial clan.
Long Fei Ye didn't need to worry about the western battlefield. He only needed to let the armies fight and wait for the results.
The Northern Li battlefield was a very troublesome problem.
According to the private agreement between Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng, only the two of them knew about it.
Long Fei Ye had warned Ning Cheng that if Ning Cheng lost a battle in Northern Li, he wouldn't be polite.
However, Ning Cheng had asked Long Fei Ye to have a drinking contest with him. If he won, he would stay. If Long Fei Ye won, he would leave.
Long Fei Ye had said that Ning Cheng had to win the battle in Northern Li before he was qualified to drink with him.
At this point, Ning Cheng had already taken over half of Northern Li and hadn't lost a single battle.
However, there was a problem with the Northern Li battlefield.
Ning Cheng wanted to stop the war temporarily and continue north in early summer. The reason was simple. Winters in Northern Li were especially cold, especially in the northern part of Northern Li. Many divination masters had predicted that this year would be a cold winter.
If it really was a cold winter, Ning Cheng estimated that by the time he reached the northern part of Northern Li, he would encounter the coldest time of the year.
In the northern part of Northern Li, there was an endless plateau. There were many swamps and lakes. Once winter came, all of them would turn into ice. The cold weather, the supply of supplies, and the adaptation of the human body were one of the problems. On the other hand, Ning Cheng's soldiers who had experience fighting in snow had never fought on ice. As long as the enemy laid an ambush on the ice, they would be finished. Even if Jin Zi's Tiger Army helped, Ning Cheng had no chance of winning.
Without full confidence, Ning Cheng didn't want to take risks. Not only because of his agreement with Long Fei Ye, but also because he didn't want his soldiers to die unjustly.
Long Fei Ye was about to become emperor. He would reward his soldiers according to their merits. How could Ning Cheng let his soldiers die unjustly on the eve of dawn?
His Di Clan had no interest in this world. This world wouldn't belong to the Western Qin Royal Family. However, the soldiers under his command who had shed blood and sweat for the peace and stability of this world, and for the unification of this continent, had to get what they deserved!
It didn't matter if he won or lost his bet with Long Feiye in the future, or if the soldiers under his command would always follow him or scatter to different armies. He should do his best to protect their lives and fight for glory and rewards for them.
Ning Cheng had steeled his heart to wait until the end of spring. However, Long Fei Ye had received countless advice. He wanted Ning Cheng's army to be the vanguard, the Baili Navy to assist, and the Baili Navy to go up north to support. Before winter came, they would force the Northern Dynasties Emperors to surrender.
"What do you think?" Long Fei Ye asked Han Yunxi seriously.
