Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When MO Ruyue and Gu Ying left, they pulled two carriages of things. They were all pine nuts and mushrooms that the villagers had given to MO Ruyue, the kind that they would not charge a single cent.

Mo Ruyue couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of the villagers and accepted the pine nuts. Of course, before she left, she left five taels of silver in her room to buy the pine nuts.

In fact, the resources in the Snow World Village were quite abundant, but no one had explored the true uses and benefits of the things here.

If they could make good use of all these things, the Snow World Village would definitely become better.

MO Ruyue and Gu Ying returned to the camp and found that not only had they returned with letters, but they had also brought back three envoys. The three of them were led by Hua Sanpin, and the other two ministers were assisting Hua Sanpin.

Because things could not be delayed, Hua Sanpin and the others had been rushing over day and night. Therefore, when these three ‘spoiled’ ministers arrived, they were completely paralyzed and were currently sleeping soundly in their tents.

“Princess, since you’ve returned, I’ll go and ask Lord Hua and the others to come and see you.”

MO Ruyue was a little stunned by the Great General’s words. Since when did she have such a high status?

Get the envoy to see her?

“They must be resting now. There’s no need to disturb them.”

It was already dark, so it was impossible for him to negotiate with them at

“Princess is right. Let’s wait until they wake up.”

MO Ruyue felt a little uneasy when the Great General suddenly acted so respectfully.

“Let’s talk after you wake up?”

“I don’t need to participate in those things.”

Seeing MO Ruyue’s expression, the Great General knew that she probably did not know what the Emperor’s decree had said.

“The Emperor said that this time Princess Ming Yue has made a great contribution and let this lowly one discuss matters, Princess Ming Yue is also listening. If this lowly one has any problems, I hope Princess Ming Yue can give us some pointers.”

Alright, so it turned out that it was her cheap brother who did this. Seriously, she did not want to participate in these things at all.

“I don’t know anything about state affairs. You guys can do as you see fit.”

“Princess, the Emperor said that since you look like the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom, it means that you are fated. Therefore, if you were present during this discussion, it might be easier.” Was he really going to cling onto her?

“Alright, I’ll just listen to you guys talk.”

“Yes.

“In that case, I won’t disturb the Princess’s rest.’

After returning to the tent, MO Ruyue complained to Gu Ying.

“Do you think the Emperor is doing this on purpose? He doesn’t want to give the credit to you and wants to give it to me?”

Even if she had discovered that Yuan Yuan was in the wrong, Gu Ying was the one who had done it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

MO Ruyue felt that based on Gu Yings alertness, even if she didn’t send someone to follow Yuan Yuan, he would definitely notice something fishy.

It could be said that she had gotten the credit before Gu Ying.

“Wouldn’t it be better if you get the credit?”

“In any case, you will be my wife in the future, The more powerful my wife is, the more glory I will have. Which man in the world can have such a blessing like me to have such a capable wife?”

Nio Ruyue had nothing else to say to Gu Ying who was in high spirits.

When the two of them were about to have dinner, the dishes had not been served yet and Chun Hua was serving them. Wei Yi and Wei Er helped her lift the curtain. The general and his men arrived at this time.

Hua Sanpin and the other two followed behind the general.

“This lowly official greets Princess Ming Yue! ”

“No need for formalities.’

MO Ruyue was holding a piece of meat with her chopsticks and was about to put it into her mouth when these people greeted her at the door. She had no choice but to put down her chopsticks.

“The Princess is currently having her meal, so she will come back later.”

The Great General said this without moving. MO Ruyue subconsciously asked, “Have you eaten? If not, why don’t you sit down and eat together?”

“This?”

“Then I’ll do as you say!’

Then, Hua Sanpin was the first to sit beside Gu Ying. “Princess, you really have delicious food here!”

“This lowly official is thick- skinned.”

The general saw that Hua Sanpin had already sat down, so he followed suit. The other two officials also sat down. They thought that since their superiors had already taken the lead, it would not be good for them to leave.

Nio Ruyue suspected that the Great General and Hua Sanpin’s purpose was to wait for dinner to start.

Fortunately, Chun Hua had always cooked a lot of food. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have dared to open her mouth to invite him.

“Alright, we’re old friends. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

Hua Sanpin was a qualified official. MO Ruyue did not dislike him. On the contrary, she quite liked him.

When the others saw MO Ruyue pick up the piece of meat she had put down earlier, they followed suit and picked up their chopsticks to pick up the piece of meat they liked.

“Wait!

Gu Ying suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

Everyone’s hands that were holding their chopsticks froze in the air as they looked at Gu Ying in confusion.

Everyone watched as Gu Ying picked up an empty bowl in front of him and quickly put some vegetables into it. MO Ruyue saw that the vegetables he had put into his bowl were all her favorite dishes. Seeing that the bowl was full of spikes, Gu Ying stopped only when he was about to drop any more. He then took another bowl and scooped a big bowl of soup.

“Here.”

Gu Ying pushed a bowl of dish and a bowl of soup in front of MO Ruyue.

“l say, General Xue, you’re too stingy. Even if we don’t know what’s good for us, we can’t snatch the Princess food. Are you afraid that we’ll finish all the food?”

The general wanted to say the same thing to Gu Ying, but as an elder, he felt embarrassed.

On the other hand, because of his father, Hua Sanpin had always felt that he was of the same generation as MO Ruyue. He had only spoken because he had a good relationship with Gu Ying, and Gu Ying had showered him with dog food the moment he arrived.

“My Ruyue is kind and asked you politely, but you’re too thick- skinned to sit down directly. I had to get food for my Ruyue, so there’s nothing for her to

Gu Ying said as he struck first.

Seeing this, Hua Sanpin could not care less about bickering with Gu Ying and quickly attacked.

Seeing the two of them, the general also quickly picked up two pieces of meat. When the two small officials wanted to pick up the meat, they found that there was only broth left, so they had to move the other dishes.

After the meal, there was only a little bit left in the big bowl of food that Gu Ying had picked up for MO Ruyue, but Gu Ying had finished it all. There wasn’t even any soup left on the plate.

“No wonder General Xue would come to the Princess’ place for a meal whenever he has time.’

“Princess, your maidservant is really good at cooking.”

The Great General was very satisfied with the meal. He even wanted to kidnap Chun Hua home to cook for his family.

“That’s right, this is the Empress Dowager’s love for the Princess, so she personally picked her from the palace.”

Gu Yings words immediately stopped Hua Sanpin, who wanted to snatch him away from the general. At the same time, it also dispelled the general’s thoughts.

After the meal, he drank a pot of tea and began to talk about the upcoming negotiations with the Northland.

MO Ruyue only listened from the side and did not express her opinion. In fact, it was not a major matter. They just had to follow the process they had discussed previously..
