Ah Sen is currently the most promising member of the Chi clan to enter officialdom through the imperial examination.
Marrying a princess is tantamount to marrying into the royal family.
The hopes of the Chi family may once again be placed on other people...
As Chi Yu's thoughts drifted, she didn't forget to smile and reply to Chu Lingqing:
"Miss Lingqing, please don't call me 'sister' anymore."
Although I am not very old, I am of a high generation.
My sister-in-law is not much different from your mother and aunt.
Look at my youngest nephew, Chi Sen, he's not any younger than you, is he?
If you'd like, you can call me "Auntie" from now on, just like Ah Sen did.
For some reason, when Chu Lingqing heard someone call the person in front of her "little aunt," just like Chi Sen, her ears burned.
She quickly glanced back at Chi Sen and saw that he was also looking at her. Her eyes darted away, and she dared not look him in the eye.
Chi Yu, on the other hand, quite casually led the person into the main hall for receiving guests.
"Ah Sen, I heard from Madam Hou that you've been working on something with the craftsmen in the suburbs these past few days, and you haven't been home for a whole day and night?"
Chu Lingqing, who was inexplicably shy, had bright eyes upon hearing this.
Before Chi Sen could even answer, she replied triumphantly, "Little, um, Sister Le'an, Sen is so amazing!"
You know, he's very quick-witted. In just a few days, he produced what his uncle's side of the business wanted.
Some of them have already been taken back to the barracks, supposedly to be used against enemy troops to see how effective they are.
Chi Yu was somewhat surprised to hear this.
She quickly exchanged a glance with her sister, then looked at Chi Sen:
"Ah Sen, is what Miss Lingqing said true?"
Chi Sen dared not boast in front of his aunt and replied truthfully:
"Aunt, the craftsman said that the Marquis requests that the power of the firecrackers be increased, preferably so that they can be used to kill the enemy."
The materials used for firecrackers are the same; I just made some changes to the original ones.
This wasn't a difficult task at all; even without me, I'm sure the craftsmen could have made it themselves.
Chu Lingqing was not pleased by his modesty and pouted in rebuttal.
"Sooner or later, there is a distinction between early and late."
Asen, you can't be so modest. Let's get this thing made as soon as possible so we can use it in the war and end the conflict sooner.
Our Da Chu started suffering from disasters around this time last year.
Until this year, disasters have struck all parts of the country.
If the battle ends sooner, the people can live their lives in peace.
Instead of thinking about whether they might be conscripted someday.
The population of Da Chu was not large to begin with, and last year, several prefectures surrounding Jianzhou Prefecture lost a significant number of people.
So far this year, many more people have died across the country due to high temperatures and drought.
It can be said that it can no longer withstand the ravages of war!
"As long as we win the battle in the northern frontier, the enemy forces of the Western Rong will retreat."
As a princess, Chu Lingqing knew many things.
Moreover, the person guarding the border was her uncle.
In her maternal uncle's family, the only adult male left was her uncle, who was over forty years old.
I do have a son, but he's not even ten years old.
She didn't even dare to imagine what her mother would do if her uncle died in battle.
If her brother, the emperor, didn't have his uncle's support, even if he became the crown prince, he would definitely have a hard time in the court!
Chu Lingqing understood perfectly, and then looked at Chi Yu.
This is a fairy, even though she is a mortal and married to the emperor's subordinate.
