Lantern Festival…Lady in Pink…
It seems like time has gone back a few years.
At that time, he had just passed the imperial examination and became the youngest number one scholar in the history of Southern Qi. In addition, he was born with a good-looking appearance, and whenever he went out on the street, he would attract many people to follow him.
But he knew clearly that these people were only obsessed with his talent, fame and appearance. They were flocking to him today, but when the wind changed, they would run to chase after other people.
When he was in his early twenties, he had seen through the fickleness of human nature and walked through the flowers without ever stopping.
But on that day, amidst the surging crowd of people, he caught sight of the girl's pure and sweet smile.
The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Behind her, thousands of lights and stars shone together. A hazy glow cast upon her, making her look like a fairy from the ninth heaven.
In an instant, Sheng Yuhan felt like he had missed a beat.
By the time he pushed through the noisy crowd and walked past, the fairy was nowhere to be seen.
At that time, Sheng Yuhan was lost for a while and had people secretly looking for the woman with the portrait.
As a good friend, Xiao Jingan naturally knew about this and comforted him that lovers finally get married. Since God let him see the woman once, it means that they are destined to be together and they will definitely meet again in the future.
Later they did meet again.
By that time, his legs were crippled, and he fell from being the admired Han Yu Gong Zi to being a deity.
She is the only surviving daughter of the Feng family, the head of the four great families in the martial arts world, after the family was wiped out. They all have the same wounds and heavy burdens.
In order to repay her kindness, she changed her name to Yunjin and stayed by his side. Although they seemed to be close at hand, they were actually separated by thousands of insurmountable obstacles and knots.
Sheng Yuhan felt inexplicably melancholy and stared into the distance for a long time without saying a word.
Xiao Jingan saw the clues and couldn't help but feel happy for his friend: "This... has been found?"
"Tsk tsk...you kid! You didn't even tell me about such a happy event. You're like a mute all day long!"
"Brother Xiao, stop joking. I have been poisoned for years. Even if I am cured, I will only be left with a crippled body. How dare I delay others?"
"Don't you know that powerful master?! Isn't it better to recuperate for a while?!"
Xiao Jing'an looked very enthusiastic, put his hands on Sheng Yuhan's shoulders and gave him some advice.
"Hey! Let me tell you, men and men should be responsible and do more..."
"Princess, it's windy outside. Please put on some more clothes before going out." Before Xiao Jing'an finished speaking, he heard the voice of a maid behind him.
Turning around, he saw his son, wearing a fox fur coat, leaning against the door of the bedroom and looking over here.
"Hey! Qingqing, you're still sick, so why don't you go out and get some fresh air?"
Xiao Jing'an didn't care about his brother's life or death at this time, and quickly ran to his wife's side.
Sheng Yuhan was helpless. Seeing that both Xiao Jingan were born with beautiful appearances and looked even better when they were leaning against each other, she suddenly felt a little jealous and glanced away unnaturally.
But suddenly, I heard Xiao Jingan's confused voice from a distance:
"Hey! Who are you looking for, young lady? You look unfamiliar to me. Are you here to see Brother Yuhan?"
She's coming?!
She was worried about her own safety and went to the Ning Wang fiefdom? !
Who will protect grandma and mother when Xi'er and the others go out to cause trouble? !
In a flash, Sheng Yuhan felt mixed emotions, happy and worried.
He turned around hastily, only to find that there was no one in the bedroom! Only then did he realize that he had been fooled by his friend in his moment of anxiety!
"Hahaha! You kid! You said you didn't want to delay others! Look at how anxious you are. You really can't hide it!" Xiao Jing'an walked slowly towards them, supporting his beloved wife, but he couldn't help laughing.
"You, you!" Sheng Yuhan shook her head helplessly, but a faint blush appeared on her face.
At this time, the last rays of the setting sun fell on Xiao Jing'an, who was laughing heartily. In a trance, it seemed as if he had returned to the happy days of his youth when he was studying. Sheng Yuhan's heavy emotions gradually dissipated.
"Alright! I won't stay in your territory any longer, so I'll take my leave now. The weather in Nanqi will soon be extremely cold, so remember to prepare as I told you."
"I know! Women are like brothers, and brothers are like clothes! If you don't want to stay here, I'm too lazy to look at you any longer! Hurry up and go back to see your beautiful wife!"
"Stop it! Brother Yuhan is shy, how can he stand your teasing like this?!" Princess Ning put her jade hand on his waist and smiled and scolded Xiao Jingan.
"Ouch! Madam, please be gentle. Did you hurt your hand?" Xiao Jingan's waist was pinched, and his expression was strange. But he habitually checked his wife's hand.
Who would have thought that the Ning Wang and his wife, who were considered the most powerful people in the eyes of the gods, actually got along with each other like ordinary people!
The majestic Prince Ning is not only a henpecked man, but also a little crybaby who can't live without his wife? !
Sheng Yuhan didn't want to eat the dog food of these two people anymore, so he hurriedly followed the servants who were leading the way out of the palace.
As soon as we arrived at the horse-drawn carriage field outside the palace, we saw a dozen or so carriages ready to go. The first one looked simple but spacious and sturdy, and the dozen or so carriages behind it had very deep wheels, and were obviously loaded with supplies.
"Master Yuhan, the climate in the north is cold and the land is barren. Here are the food and supplies that our prince has prepared for you. The emblem of the prince's famous business, Jinxiu Pavilion, is on the wall of the carriage. You are going north disguised as people from Jinxiu Pavilion. I believe no one will dare to cause trouble for you along the way."
Sheng Yuhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were fleeing northwards, and they didn't want to move their family. With so many carriages following them, it would not only be difficult for them to travel quickly, but also difficult for them to travel quickly.
"No need, we ..."
Sheng Yuhan was about to refuse when he remembered Xier's money-obsessed look, so he took back his words and bowed to thank her.
"In this case, we have to trouble them to transport these goods to Yuquan County to meet us. I am worried about the safety of my family, so I will take the first carriage to find them first."
"As it should be, sir, please get in the car."
The carriage rumbled forward, bidding farewell to the palaces behind it.
Lian Sheng Yuhan didn't expect that Xiao Jing'an not only implemented all the methods for dealing with severe cold weather that his younger sister asked him to bring to her, but also improved and supplemented many of them.
Soon after, the Southern Qi territory was hit by extreme cold. The fief of King Ning not only had sufficient food, fuel, clothing and medicine, but also had shelters prepared for the people in advance. The people in the fief not only enjoyed tax reductions, but also received a lot of subsidies from the government.
It can be said to be a rare oasis in Southern Qi.
…
Ning Wang's territory was peaceful and peaceful. A few days later, the great deeds that Xiao Naibao had done in Jinyang City were reported back to the capital, but indirectly caused the largest palace coup in the history of Southern Qi!
In the dark room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, He Huaiyuan, who was unaware of the impending storm, could not help but roar while reading the secret letter:
"Prince Ning! What a great Prince Ning! He actually deployed troops at various passes in the capital at a critical moment! What does he want to do? Is he trying to openly make trouble?!"
He Huaiyuan was so angry that he was circling around in the dark room like a donkey pulling a millstone. But then he heard someone outside report:
"Report! Urgently, eight hundred miles away! A few days ago, the Nanzhao Kingdom raided the southwestern border of the Southern Qi, resulting in the fall of the three cities of Yelang, Lingji, and Jinsha. The King of Jingnan said that the border troops were short of food and fodder, and morale was low. He pleaded with the court to increase the supply of food and fodder."
"What?! Three cities were lost within a few days?!" He Huaiyuan was so shocked that his mouth dropped to the ground.
"Didn't we just deliver several batches of food and fodder to them at the beginning of the month? Are the southern border troops greedy? They have increased their food and fodder several times, and it's still not enough?!"
