At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Princess Yu are both kind people. They will definitely cherish and love each other. Moreover, they have a deep affection for each other." Nanny Li comforted Concubine Li.

"Well, I hope so. However, I still have to remind them to take care of their health and not overwork. After all, giving birth is not an easy thing." Concubine Li advised.

"Your Majesty, you are right. I will convey your words to Princess Yu. I believe that after hearing it, she will pay more attention to taking care of her body." Nanny Li nodded in response.

At this time, Nanny Sun came over in a hurry and said, "The Empress Dowager Li urgently summoned you."

"Madame Sun, is there anything going on with the Queen Mother?" Madame Li asked, seeing Madame Sun's anxious look.

"If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, please ask Concubine Li and Matron Li to come to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace." Matron Sun didn't dare to reveal more.

Concubine Li did not ask any more questions. She asked Nanny Li to take the medicine box and followed Nanny Sun. After all, it was lunch time and no masters in the palace would come out for a stroll at this time, so they did not meet anyone else along the way.

Soon they arrived at the Cining Palace. After entering the palace, Nanny Sun took Concubine Li to the backyard and said, "Concubine Li, no matter what you see later, you must remain calm and do not disclose what happened today."

Concubine Li nodded when she heard this. She had already guessed that the identity of the person to be treated this time was not simple, but since it was the Queen Mother who asked her to come, she would definitely not harm her, so she did not ask any more questions.

When they walked into the room, they saw a woman with a big belly, lying on the bed with a pale face. There were two palace maids beside her, looking at her anxiously. When they saw someone coming in, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Concubine Li!"

Concubine Li waved her hand to signal them to get up, then quickly walked to the bedside, glanced at the woman on the bed, turned to Madam Sun and asked, "Who is she? Why is she here?"

Nanny Sun hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not. At this time, Piaoyang, who was taking care of Wen Yin, said, "Madam Li Fei, Sister Wen is the concubine of Prince Yu. You must save Sister Wen and the child!"

Hearing this, Concubine Li knew that the woman was about to give birth. She did not delay any longer and walked over with Nanny Li to check the woman's pulse. She then checked the woman's condition and frowned, saying, "The fetus is not in the right position. Nanny Li, bring the silver needle. I will use it to adjust the fetus' position."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li took out the tools and handed them to Concubine Li. Concubine Li quickly gave her acupuncture and gave Wen Yin a piece of ginseng, asking her to hold it in her mouth. She said, "Don't be nervous. I will deliver your baby myself after the fetus moves properly."

After Nangong Lin entered the palace, he was taken to the imperial study. When he stepped into the room, he found that General Lin was also there, and Emperor Cheng looked at General Lin with a sad face.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Lin felt very confused and couldn't help asking: "Father, what happened to make you so worried?"

When Emperor Cheng heard Nangong Lin's voice, his expression eased a little, but he still said with a little sadness: "Lin'er, General Lin and General Zhennan were poisoned. Do you know about this? And what is the intention of the Southern Dian Kingdom? On the one hand, they expressed their willingness to submit to our country, but on the other hand, they used such insidious means. It is really puzzling!"

When Nangong Lin heard this, he was shocked and looked at General Lin and asked, "General, what do you think the Southern Dian Kingdom meant by doing this?"

General Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "As far as I know, there are a total of thirty-six tribes in Nandian. These tribes show respect to the King of Nandian on the surface, but in fact they have their own ulterior motives. And that Lan Yishen is the illegitimate son of the King of Nandian. Although he is now the Regent of Nandian, his real purpose is probably to use our military force to intimidate the other thirty-six tribes."

"Hmph! Don't worry, old general. You have been poisoned this time. I, Dacheng, will not let you go. I will settle the score in the autumn." Emperor Cheng's eyes widened with anger, and he slammed the armrest of the dragon throne fiercely.

"The King of Southern Dian has already signed a letter of surrender. In my opinion, he is not to be feared. The biggest foreign enemy right now is Western Liang!" General Lin said hurriedly with a bow.

"Well, I understand. However, I still want the King of Nan Dian to pay the price. I will arrange people to go to Nan Dian to investigate the matter thoroughly. If they really did it, I will never let them go." Emperor Cheng said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty is wise!" General Lin replied respectfully.

"What about Xiliang?" Emperor Cheng asked again.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, Xiliang will not attack in the Xizhou area. After all, there... we still have many elite soldiers stationed there, and they will not take risks easily. However, we cannot take it lightly. We still have to send people to scout and see if there is any movement. In addition, we also have to strengthen the border defenses of Huzhou and Chengzhou, just in case." General Lin suggested.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Emperor Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Father, I think what the old general said makes a lot of sense. Xiliang will not attack the Xizhou area now. We can send spies to investigate first, and at the same time we can strengthen the border defenses of Huzhou and Chengzhou. In this way, we can ensure the security of our borders, and secondly, we can give an explanation to the people of the two states." Nangong Lin quickly agreed.

"Well, Lin'er is right. I haven't forgotten what happened in Canglan City last time. If they dare to come, I will make them pay the price." Emperor Cheng said with a firm look.

"Your son is willing to share your worries, father." Nangong Lin said modestly.

"Okay, Lin'er, you and General Lin can leave together!" After Emperor Cheng asked the two to leave the imperial study, he began to review memorials.

General Lin looked at Nangong Lin and took out a secret report and handed it to him, saying, "These two reports are news from the borders of Chengzhou and Huzhou. The people of Xiliang are trying to find a breakthrough in Huzhou and Chengzhou."

"The probability is high in Chengzhou!" Nangong Lin replied confidently.

"Oh Prince Yu, how did you know?" Lin Changfeng asked.

"Old general, the leader of Xiliang is Baili Hong. He is the younger brother of the Queen Mother of Xiliang and is most fond of military tactics, such as making a feint to the east and attacking in the west." Nangong Lin replied.

After saying goodbye to General Lin, he originally wanted to go to Cuiyu Palace, but the palace servants of Cuiyu Palace said that Concubine Li went to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. As soon as he arrived at Cining Palace, he was rejected by the palace servant on the grounds that the Empress Dowager was taking lunch break.

Nangong Lin was not surprised. He knew that he could not be too ostentatious at this moment, so he turned around and left. As he walked, he came to an empty corner. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly entered the space.

Yu Yunxin looked at the screen of the processing plant in the space, touched her head and thought: "Air-dried beef, venison, rabbit meat, pork jerky, meat floss, and fruit wine and instant noodles."

Nangong Lin was not shocked at all when he saw that his farm and ranch had changed a little. He stood in the processing plant and looked at Yu Yunxin.

"These things can also be made in the kitchen. After all, there are three imperial chefs in the kitchen." As soon as he finished thinking, he turned around and saw Nangong Lin standing there.

Yu Yunxin immediately took Nangong Lin's hand and led her into the kitchen and said, "Try and see whether the meat jerky from the processing plant is better or the one I make is better."

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you? Isn't it different?" Nangong Lin said, looking at the table full of dried meat.

"They're different! These two flavors are too monotonous!" Yu Yunxin said with a look of grievance.

"What should we do then?" Nangong Lin frowned and asked helplessly.

"Humph, I have many flavors~" Yu Yunxin winked mischievously, then picked up a piece of jerky, handed it to Nangong Lin's mouth, and said coquettishly, "Try it~"

Nangong Lin hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a small bite.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yu Yunxin asked expectantly.

After waiting for a long time, Nangong Lin did not speak, but just chewed the food in his mouth silently.

Seeing this, Yu Yunxin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

Nangong Lin looked at her nervous expression and couldn't help laughing. He comforted her, "No, it's delicious! Of course it's delicious if it's made by Xin'er."

After saying that, he took another piece of jerky and continued to taste it.

"Really?" Yu Yunxin widened her eyes and showed a surprised expression, "Then why don't you try other flavors?"

"Okay!" Nangong Lin smiled and nodded, then tried several different flavors of jerky and praised them highly, "Xin'er, you are really clever and skillful. These jerky are so delicious!"

Hearing the compliment, Yu Yunxin laughed happily and said proudly: "Hehe, of course! But you have to show off too~"

"Hmm? I'll do whatever Xin'er asks me to do!" Nangong Lin looked at her expectantly.

"You have to make me some handmade ramen!" Yu Yunxin said, then took Nangong Lin's hand and walked towards the kitchen in the palace.

The two began to work in the kitchen. King Jiang, Guo Dun and Liu Chao looked at the lights in the kitchen at night. They saw that King Yu and Princess Yu had used up all the flour in the kitchen while making noodles. Now the princess was going to use up all the meat in the freezer. Are these two the Kitchen God? They were in the kitchen from dinner until midnight. How come they didn't notice?

Nangong Lin was standing in front of the panel kneading and pulling noodles with skillful techniques. Yu Yunxin had already cooked several pots of fragrant meat. The tempting aroma spread and even drifted to the next yard, waking up the imperial chefs who were responsible for cooking. Although these people were unhappy, they did not dare to complain out loud, after all, who told their master to like to eat. At this moment, the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma that made people salivate.

"Five-spiced beef jerky, spicy beef, sauce-flavored venison jerky, and fish jerky, come and try them and see how they taste." Yu Yunxin said as she handed the freshly made jerky to Nangong Lin's mouth. Nangong Lin took a bite, chewed it carefully, and said, "Well, it tastes good, but this one seems to be better than the one in the space processing plant. How did you make it?"

"See how many spices are in the pot? It will definitely be more fragrant if you add them in." Yu Yunxin smiled proudly, then took out a stack of kraft paper from the space and began to seal the delicious dried meat. At this time, King Jiang and others walked into the kitchen, saw their own princess busy, and immediately stepped forward to help.

"Your Highness, please leave the princess to us! It's getting late, you should go back to your room and get some rest!" King Jiang said as he began to carefully put the dried meat into the oven and then packed the dried meat.

Yu Yunxin looked at King Jiang's busy figure, nodded, and said, "Okay, write the name on the outer paper later. By the way, don't eat these secretly! I will give you the recipes for these dried meats tomorrow, and you can also try other flavors yourself." As she spoke, she handed some of the prepared dried meats to King Jiang and others.

When King Jiang heard this, he hurriedly replied in panic: "How dare we steal the food made by the princess! This is a huge sin! We will definitely follow the princess's teachings and will never do anything inappropriate." His face was full of respect and humility, as if he regarded Yun Xin's words as an imperial decree.

Yu Yunxin smiled and reminded, "It's good that you know. Also, don't be reluctant to eat these dried meats. We will make them often in the future. By the way, how do you think they taste?"

Prince Jiang quickly replied: "Princess, you are amazing. This dried meat is simply a delicacy!" Others also echoed and expressed their appreciation for Yun Xin's cooking skills.

Yu Yunxin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Nangong Lin and said, "Prince, let's go back!"

Nangong Lin smiled and nodded, put his arm around Yu Yunxin's waist, and took her out of the kitchen. King Jiang continued to stay in the kitchen, carefully processing the dried meat according to Yu Yunxin's request.

"Okay, let's go back to our room and rest!" Nangong Lin said and immediately picked up Yu Yunxin and went back to the bedroom.

After returning to the room, they were too tired and fell on the bed. They entered the space and harvested some crops and some fruits. Their processing plant can not only make fruit juice but also fruit wine. However, it takes a long time to make wine. After arranging the fruit wine materials, she and Nangong Lin lay down and fell asleep.

The next morning, after finishing their breakfast, Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin went to the palace together. Yu Yunxin was going to teach the Queen Mother how to do Tai Chi, while Nangong Lin was going to attend court.

At this time, Piaoyang brought good news: Wen Yin gave birth to a pair of lovely twin girls! This news made Yu Yunxin very happy.

"Piaoyang, you have worked hard during this period. It's great that Wen Yin and her daughter are safe. You and Yunshan, Yanluo, Qionglou and Haiwang should go to Yanyu Manor to practice together! Just leave some elite disciples in the capital. Although the capital seems calm now, I will never be able to feel at ease as long as Shangguan Hongcheng and Shangguan Hongling are not caught. I am really worried that something will happen to Yanyu Manor." Yu Yunxin said worriedly.

After hearing Yu Yunxin's words, Piaoyang felt nervous. She knew that the princess's worry about Yanyu Manor was not groundless. Although the capital seemed calm at present, the enemy could come back at any time. Especially since Shangguan Hongcheng and Shangguan Hongling, two dangerous people, had not been arrested yet, the princess was always on the alert. Yanyu Manor was the foundation of the princess, and if it encountered misfortune, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Piaoyang could not help but admire the princess' foresight.
