Low profile?Hidden clumsiness?Don’t reveal your wealth?

No, none of these are suitable for Mu Tingxue.

She is not a concubine from an aristocratic family, nor is she the legitimate daughter of a down-and-out official. She does not belong to a disadvantaged group. She does not need to adapt to the feudal dross of ancient times. The rules of etiquette can lock the throats of other women, but not the eldest princess.

Her name is the eldest princess, and she is actually the crown princess. She is at the top, at the highest place, and she has the ability to make the rules!

Yes.

When she took out 50 boxes of tetracycline, 20 boxes of doxycycline, and 20 boxes of trimethoprim, which were not available in ancient times, the civil and military officials, even though they were doubtful and had never seen strange Western medicines, did not dare to take more pills. A word.

Gao Yanchong, the Minister of War, led [-] soldiers.

The soldiers wore armor on their heads, carried swords under their ribs, and carried bows and arrows.Around him were carts and carts of packaged plague medicines, carts and carts of warm clothes, velvet cotton socks, and some army rations.

The first time Gao Yanchong met the eldest princess was at the Lantern King Competition of the Lantern Festival.He won No. 3. He witnessed the eldest princess making an unexpected bet and winning 24, all of which was used as military expenses. He also witnessed her collecting hundreds of lanterns, the largest number in the audience.

This undoubtedly left a deep impression on him.

Later, the princess entered the court and took over the household department resolutely. In the morning, he could often see her, but due to camp issues, he rarely spoke.Gao Yan Chongshi left the party, and his father and Li Gong worshiped him.

This time, he was finally able to talk to her from a very close distance.

Mu Tingxue said: "The plague transmitted from the battlefield on the border of Beiyu Kingdom is called epidemic typhus. The patient is the only source of infection. Human lice are the transmission medium. Once bitten, you will develop a high fever and severe fever in one to two days. Headache, red patchy rash, the patient’s blood is full of grammatica..."

Gao Yanchong didn't dare to ask more questions if he didn't understand something, for fear of showing his cowardice.

"You should pay more attention to personal hygiene, bathe frequently, and change clothes frequently. If you are infected in the north, don't panic and take medicine immediately. The amount of medicine will definitely be enough, as long as you don't secretly sell it to people in the north."

"Your Highness! I would never dare." How could Gao Yanchong afford this? If the medicine could really cure the plague, secretly giving it to enemy soldiers would be any different from treason.

All the accompanying generals, sergeants, commanders, and captains standing behind Gao Yanchong also knelt down one after another.

The army set off.

The wheels transporting supplies creaked through the city gate.

So much so that the Ministry of Household Office at the gate of the city, which distributed fields to the refugees, was pushed aside.

Lijia's father and son stood on the city wall, overlooking the retreating supply escort army, cruising out of Yundu like a long dragon.

"I didn't expect that the eldest princess is so powerful and rich that she can rival the country."

Li Fan sighed.

Li Yuan said: "My father also said before that the eldest princess returned the 33 acres of land annexed by the Lu family to the people. It was generosity to others and hypocritical."

Li Fan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it? This woman is very smart. Those fields are not hers. Relying on the bottomless favor of Queen Mother Yan, she made Queen Mother Yan issue an edict to return the fields to the people, and the people got them. Tian, ​​added to her reputation and became a generous benefactor."

Li Yuan thought for a while and didn't know how to refute.

Li Fan: "Politicians like to be generous to others. A reputation for generosity is very beneficial when seizing power. If she were a prince, King Qin Ling would have no power to fight back. The two of them are not on the same level at all. "

"She is a princess in name, but she is protected by the Empress Dowager Yan and the Prince Regent, and she also serves as an official in the court. In fact, she is almost like a prince."

"So, our Yan family has to keep a backup plan."

Li Fan took a deep look at his son and said, "The eldest princess hasn't discussed the marriage yet."

Li Yuan felt a rush of enthusiasm in his head, and his heart was beating wildly: "What father means is..."

Li Fan: "Your brother Li Jue is 16 years old."

"No!"

Li Yuan's voice suddenly became louder, "He is only sixteen, his hair has not yet fully grown, and he is five years younger than the eldest princess. Besides, Li Jue is not the eldest son, so how can he be worthy of being the eldest princess? What the big family values ​​most is The marriage between the eldest son and the eldest daughter needs to be at least like mine."

Li Gong was silent for a while, then looked at the shameless eldest son and reminded him: "Yuan'er, as a father I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. You have been engaged to Tan Zhijun, Tan Hou's sister, since childhood."

Li Yuan: "Back off."

"This……"

Li Gong frowned slightly, "It's a bit difficult to handle. It will damage the harmony between the two families."

"How does the Tan family's power compare to that of the eldest princess?"

"Not as good as Eleven."

"How does the Tan family's financial resources compare to the eldest princess?"

"Not as good as a chance."

After answering, Li Gong's brows widened. He was a person who was good at weighing the pros and cons and had already made a choice.

Qihuang Palace.

In Dongnuan Pavilion, there are golden nanmu cases and numerous volumes.

Empress Dowager Yan is reviewing the memorial.

While Xunyin was grinding aside, she was promoted to the Queen Mother and became the new chief maid of Qihuang Palace.

"Where is Qing Yuan? The Ai family saw her just now."

Xunyin smiled lightly and replied: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the eldest princess went to the dining room and said she wanted to cook in person and make a new dish for you to try."

Queen Mother Yan was elated: "My daughter is so filial."

Have a good time.

Dongnuan Pavilion is the place where ministers are summoned to inquire about government affairs. Empress Dowager Yan was wearing a quilt and was told that Lord Zuopu Sheli, the minister, had arrived and was already waiting in the duty room next to her.

"Xuan."

Queen Mother Yan put down her ink pen.

Li Gong entered the pavilion, lifted up a corner of his official robe, knelt down and saluted: "I, Li Fan, congratulate the Queen Mother on her thousand years."

Before the Queen Mother asked him to get up, the powerful Prime Minister Zuo continued, "I am here today to propose marriage to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess on behalf of Quanzi Liyuan."

"Jing Yu Gong's son is excellent in literature, Tao and military strategy, and he is the leader among the younger generation."

Empress Dowager Yan was a scheming person. Before rejecting her, she spared a little favor and praised her, "But, how come the Ai family heard that the prince has already been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Tan family, so how can he honor the princess again?"

Li Gong was very shameless: "The Li Tan family has been close for hundreds of years and has had many contacts with each other. Quan Zi and the eldest girl of the Tan family have no marriage contract. As for the rumors that the Queen Mother heard, I am afraid that others saw that the two of them were childhood sweethearts. Brothers and sisters, let’s make wild assumptions.”

Queen Mother Yan said a long "Oh".

Li Gong continued his efforts: "Quinzi is deeply in love with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and is infatuated with her. I would like to serve you, the Lord, and make the two families a good couple."

Empress Dowager Yan was worthy of being an old lady. She stroked the imperial case gently and said, "What you said is wrong. Even if the eldest daughter of the Tan family has a marriage contract, how can she dare to compete with the only eldest princess of the royal family and the current Minister of Household Affairs?" I shed tears secretly, quit sadly, and feel sorry for my family."

The old man, who was still spreading rumors at the court meeting in the morning about the nephew of the Ai family and quarreling with the daughter of the Ai family, now comes to propose marriage with a shy old face and looks down upon her.

Of course, in this case, the Queen Mother would only curse in her heart.

When Li Fan saw that the Queen Mother was so stubborn, she was so anxious that she asked, "Why don't you ask the Princess the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen Mother?"

He believed in his son's charm.

Li Yuan was known as a talented man, and he was also a second-rank Jinwu Guard general who controlled the imperial army.He has an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. He will also take over his job in the future. It is difficult for ordinary women not to be moved by him when they see him.

What's more, the eldest princess has already been married to Li once, and she even brought an oil bottle with her, and Li Yuan is the first to get married, so he takes advantage.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for your kindness."

Mu Tingxue came in with a plate of steaming scrambled eggs with tomatoes, "This princess has no intention of doing anything to cousin Li Yuan. She also doesn't want to end up with a girl who uses her power to bully her because of a marriage." , taking away her fiancé’s notoriety.”

Li Gong smiled bitterly.

Queen Mother Yan praised: "It smells so good! What kind of new dish is this? It's red and yellow, so beautiful."

Mu Tingxue placed the vegetables on the table and offered silver chopsticks: "This is a vegetable called tomato. Stir-fry it in a hot oil pan, collect the juice, add a little sugar, and pour it on the scrambled eggs. Mother Try it!”

Queen Mother Yan has never seen tomatoes before. They are red and a bit strange.

But her daughter strongly recommended it, so she picked up a chopstick and put the egg soaked in tomato juice into her mouth. The sweet, sour and tender texture stimulated her taste buds crazily.

“It’s delicious!”

Queen Mother Yan was stunned and commented. She couldn't wait to pick up a whole piece of tomato.

Mixed with a mouthful of white rice, it tastes so good that it makes your mouth water.

Empress Dowager Yan was born as a general. She practiced martial arts, horseback riding and archery since she was a child. She was not a coward at all. She didn't care about leaving the father-in-law, so she ate by herself. She ate more than half of a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and also finished a whole bowl of rice. She had already eaten I haven’t had such a good appetite for a long time.

Mu Tingxue looked at this scene and felt a deep sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Even Li Fan, whose nose was filled with the smell of tomato juice, couldn't help but swallow secretly.

When leaving.

Mu Tingxue also asked the palace maid to bring over an exquisite food box, which contained three portions of fresh tomato scrambled egg rice bowl and two large red tomatoes. She handed it over and said, "With your thoughts, take it back to your aunt and cousin to try." taste."

"It's too expensive."

Li Gong declined politely.

It is a red vegetable that has never been seen before. It is the only one in the world and was highly praised by Queen Mother Yan. It must be worth a lot of money.

Mu Tingxue knew the ways of the ancients and liked to refuse three times. Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang three times, and Cao Pi pretended to refuse when he usurped the officials of the Han Dynasty and asked him to ascend the throne. Only the third time he said, "You guys forced me to do it." "Looking like this, he sat on the dragon throne.

Her nominal uncle also knew this well.

He declined twice very politely and humbly. The third time, he happily accepted the tomato meal box presented by the eldest princess.

dusk.

Leaving the palace.

“This dish is so fresh and delicious.”

Princess Jiehu, who has suffered from depression for many years and eats very little, actually ate half a bowl of tomato rice for the first time. She was still unsatisfied and said, "It's very appetizing. What's it called?"

"It seems to be called, tomato."

Li Gong took out a raw tomato from the food box and gave it to his wife, "The dish was made by the eldest princess."

"Oh? It's my cousin's craftsmanship!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he happily took a few bites, chewing with bulging cheeks, "It's really delicious!"

The eldest princess smiled and looked very happy: "This fruit looks good. Has your highness the eldest princess agreed?"

Li Gong sighed heavily and shook his head.

The eldest princess felt uncomfortable in her heart and said jealously: "Hmph, how can we Yuan'er be inferior to the men of the Yan family?"

He lowered his head and took a big bite of the tomato.

Juicy and tender, sweet and sour.

"If she marries back to the Yan family, her first choice would be Yan Yang, followed by Yan Renqing, who just recognized her. Yan Nanye is stable and capable. Although he has a family, he heard that his wife is restless and stealing people outside, so he is likely to divorce. "

"Yan Yang is a traitor and her father-killing enemy; Yan Renqing is an illegitimate child whose mother is a prostitute, and Yan Nanye is a sick young man. None of them are as good as Yuan'er!"

north.

Between the vast sky and the earth, there is a majestic and solid city. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea. It is Anyuan City.

The sky is falling.

Yan Yang stood on the top of Anyuan City, looking at the thousands of miles of yellow clouds, the north wind blowing the wild geese and snow, and the soldiers who followed him through life and death, falling ill one after another, one infected by a hundred, a hundred infected...

They held their heads and howled in agony.

The plague turned these strong and sturdy soldiers into skeletons with yellow faces and thin muscles.

A cemetery was dug at the gate of the city, and mountains of plague corpses were thrown in, which could not even be burned!

"Grand Governor! According to today's count, more than 300 people in our military camps have been infected with the plague, and more than [-] people died of the disease last night." The military doctor came to report, very sad.

"Isn't there only [-] yesterday?"

Yan Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and his thick eyebrows were like arrows piercing his temples.

The military doctor collapsed and cried: "My subordinates are incompetent and cannot cure this plague. Soldiers are infecting each other. This is hell on earth!"

Hesitation, pain, and despair spread among the wailing cries of the infected soldiers.

"Grand Governor, what's wrong, Deputy Lieutenant Zhaowu is also infected!"

"Renqing?"

Yan Yang suddenly raised his head, his eyes were horrifying, thinking of his cousin who had just been recognized back to the Yan family and had a miserable life experience, "I will go and see him."

"No! He will infect you with the plague!" The old general tried his best to dissuade him. He walked over on his knees and firmly grabbed the Zhenbei Governor's leg. "If even you fall, the Zhenbei Army will really It’s over! Your Highness, please take care of yourself!”

The people in the city fled in panic, and the morale of the Zhenbei Army was at a loss.What Yan Yang faced was a dead end.

Is there such a hero?

It can turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses.

Have.

An army of ten thousand people arrived in Anyuan at dusk when the setting sun was like blood.

Gao Yanchong stood at the foot of the city, raised his head, and shouted: "On the order of the eldest princess, we are escorting 50 special plague medicines and 50 warm clothes and socks to help. Please ask the regent to open the city gate!"

Regent Yan Yang was unspeakably excited.

"open!"

In Anyuan City, two extremely thick and dark black tall city gates, one on the left and one on the right, slowly opened from the inside.

"All sergeants, line up to get medicine and clothes!"

Yan Yang issued the second order.

The Zhenbei Army, which had been tortured by the plague for half a month, burst into cheers at this moment, soaring into the sky.

"This box of special effects medicine is so weird. Ahem, forget it. Let's take one first."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess still feels sorry for us. The February wind in the north is too biting to the bones. My hands and feet are all covered with frostbite, and I can't sleep all night because of the itching. The tattered cotton clothes issued by the court do not block the wind at all. It is still the princess's warm clothes. Warm and thick socks.”

"Medicine, medicine, give me medicine -"

"Aren't these the warm clothes that were ordered to provide disaster relief? They are exactly the same! The welfare of our Zhenbei camp is really good. Hehe, we have wages, clothes, and medicine, and the superiors are willing to spend money."

"Your Highness the Regent, the eldest princess has taken such good care of us and raised our Northern Army. There is really nothing we can do to repay you. Otherwise, you can repay us with your own life!"

I don't know which soldier was the first to start making noises and shouted loudly.

The other soldiers laughed and joined in.

"Repay kindness with your body, and pay with your body!"

"For the sake of our long-term welfare, Commander-in-Chief, please sacrifice yourself."

"How can it be called a sacrifice? The Grand Governor couldn't ask for more. When I was patrolling the camp yesterday, I even saw the Grand Governor secretly painting a small portrait of Her Royal Highness, hahahaha!"

If the sergeants had acted so glibly and nonsense in the past, Yan Yang would have dealt with it by military law. But this time it was very strange. Instead of punishing anyone, he even said "Yeah".

That night, Yan Yang wrote an urgent and urgent letter to Mu Tingxue, with only nine words -

[Princess is so kind, I should express my gratitude with my body]

Within three days, special drugs such as tetracycline and doxycycline played a huge role.

For more than 5 soldiers infected with the plague, their high fever subsided, their headaches disappeared, and the erythematous rashes on their bodies gradually disappeared.

The plague is over!

Begin the siege!

Yan Yang personally led 30 troops out of the city, while the rest stayed in An'ing. They easily captured the three enemy cities of Fenghe, Lianyu and Hengqu, and penetrated [-] miles into the hinterland of Beiyu.

Mu Tingxue quickly replied to him and told him to fight well——

[The regent should be thinking about the war first, and do not think about this princess. 】

Ten days later, Yan Yang chased Beiyu Huwei General Yu Wenhu all the way to the top of Beilang Mountain. In the temple where Beiyu Kingdom had worshiped for generations, he found the Xuanhuang jade that they had worshiped for generations, and immediately took it down.

Yu Wenhu was desperate and was captured in a desperate situation in a cave. He refused to surrender and committed suicide.

Yan Yang was very stubborn and said in the letter to the eldest princess, "Don't read it?"That is impossible.

Not only do I want to read it, but I also want to give you a small gift to scare you——

[Six vessels made of jade are used to honor the four directions of heaven and earth: the blue wall is used to honor the sky, the yellow cong is used to honor the earth, the green gui is used to honor the east, the red Zhang is used to honor the south, the white amber is used to honor the west, and the Xuanhuang is used to honor the north.In the past, Yang gave the princess a cangbi vase as a token of token. Now that he has obtained a Xuanhuang jade, he also gives it to her. 】
