Yingyue City.
Just as Yun Qingluo was eagerly waiting and about to go to the third line of defense to find Mo Beichen, good news came from there.
"Your Highness, His Highness has led his army to recapture the third line of defense. He sent someone to deliver a message that they will rest for three days and then head to the next line of defense. He wrote this letter specifically to Your Highness."
Yun Qingluo smiled broadly, her worries greatly relieved. She took the letter and opened it to read.
As she read, she heard the guard say, "If Your Highness wishes to reply, please make a decision quickly. I can deliver it to Your Highness before you depart."
Yun Qingluo nodded, said "I understand," and then read the letter again.
She misses A-Chen again.
It's strange, I just keep wanting to be with him.
In his letter, Mo Beichen only briefly mentioned the war situation and spent the entire letter talking about her.
This shouldn't be done, that shouldn't be eaten—these were all things he had repeatedly told her before she went to war, and Yun Qingluo's eyes ached from reading them.
I don't feel like replying right now.
"I have nothing to reply to. General, please hurry back and reunite with the Prince," Yun Qingluo said calmly.
The general was taken aback upon hearing this, and then hesitated.
Is this true?
Strange, the princess and the prince clearly have a good relationship, so why doesn't the princess have anything to say to the prince?
Did the prince say something in his letter that angered the princess?
Seeing that the man was still there, Yun Tao asked in confusion, "Does the general still have something else to say?"
The man quickly came to his senses, "No, no, I just heard from Commander Mo Feng that His Highness was looking forward to the Princess's reply. Since there has been no reply, I will take my leave."
The man was straightforward; he turned and left after speaking.
Now it was Yun Qingluo's turn to panic. Achen said he was looking forward to her reply?
"General, please wait. The journey is long and arduous. Let's rest here for a while and have some shaved ice before we continue," Yun Qingluo said hastily.
The general stopped and turned around, looking puzzled.
Just as he was about to refuse, Yun Li, who understood Yun Qingluo's meaning, said to the general, "General, you have had a long journey. Please have a bowl of cold drink here, so that the princess will worry less."
The general glanced at Yun Qingluo, who was frowning, and could only nod before following Yun Li.
Yun Qingluo quickly glanced at Yun Li and hurriedly asked Yun Xin and Yun Tao to help her to the study.
When the general came out, he saw Yun Qingluo smiling and holding a letter, waiting for him. He immediately understood that his previous actions were to wait for the princess to write a letter.
But the soup was really delicious, ice-cold and refreshing, and it made me feel much more comfortable.
Yun Qingluo stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General."
The general bowed and said he dared not accept such praise, then took his leave.
Yun Qingluo stroked her belly and said, "Achen said that the third line of defense has been taken down, and he has written to the city lord to have it rebuilt. In a while, the people on the third line of defense will be able to go home."
Go home.
Yun Qingluo suddenly felt a pang of emotion; she was also waiting for Achen to come home.
Go back to their home with him; that home is in the capital.
Yun Qingluo turned around and walked back. "Yun Tao and Yun Xin, shall we open a shop?"
"A shop? Why would the Princess open a shop? Is there nothing here that the Princess wants to eat? In that case, I'll have Yunli go somewhere else to buy it," Yunxin asked, puzzled.
Yun Tao rolled her eyes at Yun Xin, "You're so silly, the princess can't stand being idle."
Yunxin hurriedly said, "Ah, no, Your Highness, you can't overwork yourself. You should stay in the manor."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please forget about it. If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't have enough lives to compensate for it," Yun Tao said with a distressed expression.
Yun Qingluo said, "Oh dear, Yun Tao, I'm going crazy staying in the manor every day. You wouldn't want me to look so unhappy every day, would you?"
Yunli walked over and overheard this. She said coldly, "You sleep better than us every day? You should go to sleep instead."
When Yun Qingluo saw that the three of them were against it, she started to act like a rogue, "I don't care, I'm going to open the shop. If you don't want me to, I'll go on a hunger strike, hmph."
Yunli raised an eyebrow. "If you're willing to let the prince feel sorry for you, then please come."
Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Yun Qingluo's eyes widened in anger. "Yun Li, you're siding with outsiders!"
Yun Tao quickly stopped and said gently, "Oh, alright, alright, stop arguing, Your Highness, what kind of shop do you want to open?"
Yun Qingluo said, "Was the iced drink I gave you earlier good? I was thinking of selling that."
It's so hot in Yingyue City. It's only July, and it already feels like being roasted by fire. I wonder how hot it will be in August and September.
She wanted to open a shop, partly to satisfy her own needs, and partly to make life easier for the people in the city.
Anyway, she and Xiao Yi have already figured out how to make ice. They have an endless supply of ice, and people will drink even if they only sell ice water, not to mention the refreshing plum juice, mung bean soup, watermelon juice and other soups and drinks.
Most importantly, they have ice, and if they buy fruit from farmers, the selling price can be lowered, making it affordable for ordinary people.
In modern times, there are cities where even the poor can afford to drink ice and snow; so she'll create an ice and snow city in another world that ordinary people can afford to consume.
Yunxin and Yuntao were very excited, "Wow, then we'll have an endless supply of iced drinks!"
Yunli frowned. "No, it's too hot outside. Your Highness, you can't travel."
Yun Qingluo said, "Then you can rent a shop with a courtyard. I'll relax and cool off in the backyard while you guys get busy in the front."
Yun Tao and Yun Xin's excitement had worn off, and Yun Tao hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, do you mean you don't plan to live in the City Lord's Mansion anymore and want to move out?"
Before Yun Qingluo could nod, Yun Xin objected, "No, no, Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed. It's too dangerous outside. The City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded. It's safest for you to stay here. You absolutely cannot go out."
"Yes, Your Highness, the Prince specifically instructed you to stay in the manor and wait for her return before he left. How long has it been since the Prince left? Are you already going back on your word?"
Yun Qingluo was surprised that none of the three people agreed with her, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"You all help Mo Beichen bully me. I can't do this, I can't do that, I can't eat this, I can't eat that. I feel like I've been reborn as a baby, and I'm nothing."
The three people looked troubled, but Yun Li seemed fine; her calm gaze seemed to say: I'll just watch you act quietly.
Yun Tao and Yun Xin didn't have the same intelligence as Yun Li, so they couldn't see through Yun Qingluo's true intentions and felt somewhat ashamed.
Yun Tao said, "Your Highness, Yun Tao has grown up with you. It's hard for me to see you like this. Your Highness, you're heavily pregnant now, and it's inconvenient for you to do anything. Why make things harder for your body? After you give birth and recover, you can open as many shops as you want."
