Ye Xinran waved her hand, took a sip of water, and put down the cup.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
She continued to eat, with Lan Ying accompanying her.
She saw the chicken soup on the side and said with a smile, "There's chicken soup too! It's really good!"
"Yes, the prince specially ordered it to be stewed! He said that you were tired all day and felt unwell, and needed to be nourished! He also asked me to put a lot of nourishing herbs!" Lan Ying smiled and said enviously, "The prince is so good to the princess!"
Ye Xinran was startled, and suddenly thought of the scene of being tossed around all day yesterday. Wasn't it tiring? He laughed dryly twice and quickly lowered his head to eat.
After Ye Xinran finished her meal, the two of them left the palace and rode their horses out of the city.
Because the army was stationed not far outside Yanjing City, Gu Yanming and the others were discussing matters in the military tent.
When Ye Xinran and the others arrived outside the military tent, they heard a quarrel inside.
Ye Xinran didn't rush in, but stood at the door and listened.
"Tuoba Yan has already joined his reinforcements. We can't attack rashly. That would be a head-on confrontation. Although we are not afraid of them, it is not worthwhile to injure one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of our own!"
"Then what do you think we should do? Just let Tuoba Yan and his men occupy our city? There are still many Daliang people inside, waiting for us to rescue them."
"That's definitely not possible! But brute force won't work! We should outsmart them!"
"Then tell me, what's the clever way to win?"
"A sneak attack on this place probably won't work! The Great Jin must be prepared!"
There was silence inside.
Ye Xinran listened for a while and realized that they were discussing the matter of the great Jin prince Tuoba Yan. After thinking about it, he did not go in. Instead, he went to a tent next to him and waited.
This tent is where Gu Yanming usually rests. It has a simple bed and a table and chairs.
Ye Xinran simply sat in the chair and waited.
They waited for an hour. Finally, Lan Ying secretly sent a letter to Gu Yanming. Gu Yanming knew that Ye Xinran had come, so he let everyone go first.
Gu Yanming quickly came to the tent next to him. He opened the curtain and saw Ye Xinran sitting behind a table with her hands on her cheeks, frowning and thinking about something. Even though he came, she didn't notice.
Gu Yanming approached quietly and was about to raise his hand to reach out to Ye Xinran, but she suddenly turned around, dodged him, and looked at the newcomer with a vigilant look on her face.
Seeing that it was Gu Yanming, he breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at him unhappily.
"Your Majesty! You walk without making any sound!"
"We agreed to call you by your name! You called me by my name yesterday..." Gu Yanming complained in his heart.
Ye Xinran blushed, and suddenly remembered that when they were making love all day yesterday, she was forced by Gu Yanming to keep calling his name.
Really, eh…
Ye Xinran was not as thick-skinned as him. She coughed lightly and simply stopped shouting. She just stared at Gu Yanming.
Gu Yanming sighed, went straight up to her, hugged her in his arms, and started kissing her!
A man who has just started eating meat knows how to enjoy it, so how can he look at his prey and not take action?
"Hey, don't..." Before Ye Xinran could finish her words, she was pressed down on the bed.
Soon, the thin little bed began to creak.
Ye Xinran was wailing in her heart, feeling like she was just here to deliver food!
The clouds and rain stopped, but Gu Yanming wanted to continue.
Ye Xinran quickly held him back, "You..."
"Call me Yanming!"
"Okay, Yan Ming!" Ye Xinran compromised! She blushed and said, "After all, this place is... inconvenient!"
Gu Yan knew that his Ranran was thin-skinned, but he still let her go in the end.
Ye Xinran breathed a sigh of relief and tidied herself up miserably.
Gu Yanming still held her tightly, like a dog-skin plaster.
After a moment, she gave up reluctantly and just lay in Gu Yanming's arms and asked.
"Have you figured out how to deal with Tuoba Yan?"
Gu Yanming shook his head. Then he nodded.
"There is a rough outline. Would you like to listen to it?" Gu Yanming said with a smile.
Ye Xinran nodded and asked curiously, "Tell me about it!"
Gu Yanming slowly told her the details.
Ye Xinran also listened carefully, wondering if he would make some suggestions.
It’s just right to check for deficiencies and fill them.
Gu Yanming considered it seriously.
Even later, still feeling very sleepy, Ye Xinran fell asleep again.
Gu Yanming put her down reluctantly, pulled the quilt over her, kissed Ye Xinran on the forehead, and got up to leave.
Lan Ying was standing guard at the door with a red face and her head down.
Gu Yanming glanced at her and said.
"You stay here and take good care of the princess! No one is allowed to come near and disturb us!"
"Yes!" Lan Ying accepted the order.
Gu Yanming looked at the big tent again before leaving reluctantly.
Soon, Gu Yanming led the army to attack Rongcheng. They had to win this battle.
When Ye Xinran woke up again, she found that it was already dark. She was suspicious when Lan Ying came in. Seeing that she was awake, she smiled and walked over.
"Princess, you're awake!"
Ye Xinran was suspicious, "Why did I fall asleep again? What time is it now?"
Lan Ying shook her head, "I don't know! You must be too tired recently! It's already the hour of the dog!"
Ye Xinran thought it was possible and didn't think about it any more.
"Where's the prince?"
"The prince has already led the army to Rongcheng!" Lan Ying said, and then asked, "Princess, should we follow him?"
Ye Xinran thought about it, sighed and shook her head.
Thinking about the method Gu Yanming had mentioned before, although it was a bit dangerous, the chances of success were very high.
Although she was a little worried, she couldn't always interfere in his affairs. It was okay to help occasionally. If she always pointed fingers at her lover's affairs, it would be a lack of respect and would be a burden to him.
Moreover, the military wisdom of the ancients was no less than that of modern people, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many books on military tactics. And she didn't know anything about deploying troops.
As long as there were no hot weapons, she believed in Gu Yanming's ability. He was the war god of Daliang.
Ye Xinran stood up, sat at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Since we are staying in Yanjing City, let’s see what we can do in Yanjing City!
"Lan Ying, let's go back to the city!" Ye Xinran said.
"Yes, Princess, I'll go get the horse ready now!"
The two returned to Yanjing City together.
Because of the unrest in the past few months, the streets were full of patrolling soldiers, and the people did not dare to walk outside.
Ye Xinran and her companion were questioned along the way, but after they knew her identity, they let her go.
Finally they returned to the palace. Now there were only the two of them in the huge palace.
Ye Xinran simply let Lan Ying live next door to her so that she could take care of her if anything happened.
Lan Ying went to cook.
Ye Xinran went to the space to wash up, then left the space and went to the study next to it. Seeing that it was empty, she remembered that when she was exiled, she put all the things in the space into the space. Now that she was back, she put everything back.
She picked up a book on military strategy from the bookshelf and began to read it out of boredom.
