Yi Xin as a concubine

Xin Baoer has been doing business for such a long time, especially after leaving home. Although she is in a state of "ruling from behind the curtain" most of the time, she still has to entertain some important figures in person, so her ability to observe people's words and expressions has also improved a lot.

But she will not indulge the other party to get too much. She will give in when she should give in, and will not give in when she should not give in. Otherwise, when the time comes, she will have nothing to give, and how can she get out of it safely?

"Your Majesty, this is the biggest discount I can give you. You know, I run a low-priced supermarket, and the profit is not high..."

"Well, girl, you won't suffer any loss at all." The queen joked affectionately.

The King of Seabuckthorn watched helplessly as two beautiful women, each with their own charm, fought for power in front of him, completely disregarding their own image, and his filter was immediately shattered.

"Gentlemen, should we continue to talk about business?" the king said seriously.

"King, Queen, here are the contact information and portraits of his subordinates, as well as a token for me to keep in touch. He will fully cooperate with the two kings, and I will not be involved in the rest of the matter. I have decided to leave for Yingzhou in three days, so I will leave this to the two kings."

Xin Baoer said this with a smile on her face, and she actually felt like she had accomplished her mission and was ready to retire.

The two kings would naturally not refuse. On the contrary, Xin Baoer's behavior made them feel that she was a very sensible person. Although she was the one who promoted the dispatch of troops and even made arrangements in advance, she did not participate in any matters that really concerned the two countries. She had a firm sense of propriety.

So after the serious business was over, the king held a dinner party in high spirits, and even invited a group of ministers, concubines and children to join him. During the dinner, he also intentionally or unintentionally tried to matchmake his son and Xin Bao, which made Xin Baoer very embarrassed and at a loss. She was so restless that she hurriedly found an excuse to run away without even waiting for the banquet to end.

For the next three days, Xin Baoer did not participate in the friendly meeting between the two countries. She concentrated on packing her luggage and coaxing her children at home.

Xiaomu is a very well-behaved child. She is in her teens and is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. Xin Baoer and several of her friends like her very much and they buy her gifts and cook for her every day to make her happy.

Although it has only been a few days, Xiaomu has become noticeably more cheerful and can laugh from time to time, which makes people feel both relieved and sad.

Three days later, Xin Baoer received a message via carrier pigeon, saying that the troop deployment of the two countries was basically completed and they would soon be able to enter a state of preparation for war.

After hearing this news, Xin Baoer's heart finally settled down.

In the beginning, she had such an idea, which was actually a bit fanciful. Although she had achieved some success in doing business behind the scenes in the past few years, she was not so conceited as to think that she could dominate the leaders of the two countries.

Things went so smoothly that it was beyond her imagination. It seemed that as a time traveler, she had some luck. So she could look forward to what would happen next.

At dusk, a table of fresh food was served to the palace. The two kings were so happy with the food that they took the opportunity to leave. Before dawn the next day, they slipped away as soon as the city gates opened.

"Baoer, there's no need to be here so early. We haven't even had time for breakfast and our stomach is growling. Aren't you hungry?" Zhao Xian complained, covering his mouth and yawning.

"How can she care whether she is hungry or not? If she doesn't leave now, she will be treated as a tender and delicious little white rabbit by those princes and nobles and eaten." Qin Chu, riding a horse and walking slowly beside the carriage, joked when he heard it.

"My little Eighth Sister has a good appearance. She is very low-key and doesn't reveal her true appearance easily. Otherwise, all those crazy bees and butterflies would have formed a hive along the way."

Xin Chengzhi came along this time and saw in person his most fragile sister. She was so decisive and aggressive in doing things, not much inferior to the men, and even better, more courageous and careful.

"So much nonsense!" Wei Yu drove the carriage and whipped the horse. The horse ran faster. Xin Chengzhi and Qin Chu hurriedly rode their horses to catch up.

There is no rush to travel this time. After all, the two countries are sending troops together, and many places need to be adjusted. Moreover, it is just a feint attack, and preventive measures must be taken. Otherwise, the feint attack will fail and they will be counterattacked by Simon's army. That would be a loss. Both countries are well aware of the bravery of Simon's army.

So Xin Baoer took a few friends and walked slowly and played along the way. The people of Seabuckthorn have a simple folk custom and they were warmly received almost everywhere, which made the boring journey of the few people become colorful.

Along the way, information from all sides was constantly delivered to Xin Baoer, allowing her to understand the dynamics of all parties almost at the first time, so that she could better understand the situation and seize the opportunity.

Every time Xin Baoer received the bamboo tube that carried messages, she would feel deeply moved. Unknowingly, her power had developed to this extent.

The combined power of the Xin family, the Lin family, the Qin family, and Chu Xingchen can easily cover several countries. At least, as long as she wants, she can easily know the slightest movement in each country.

Xin Baoer naturally knew the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. Although these forces could be used by her, they all had their own titles. On the surface, she was just a concubine's daughter of the Xin family.

"Eighth sister, even at the slowest speed, it will only take three days to get there. Do you want to send someone over to say hello? Mo Xuan Yifan is in Yingzhou, so at least he has to provide for his food and lodging." Xin Chengzhi said.

"Do you think he doesn't know?" Xin Baoer asked casually while leaning against the car window.

"Baoer, will Simon really withdraw his troops? It's been almost ten days." Qin Chu asked uncertainly.

At the beginning, everyone was full of confidence and had no doubts about this matter, because Xin Baoer had basically accomplished nothing she wanted to do. Even if the process was sometimes unsatisfactory, the results were always good.

But as the days passed, the two countries were ready to attack from both sides, but Simon seemed to be unhurried, as if the military forces of the two countries posed no threat to them at all.

"Don't be anxious, the last knife hasn't been inserted yet. People are all the same. They don't feel pain unless the knife pierces their body. Once it hurts, they will move again." Xin Baoer said again, her expression still indifferent, and she looked uninterested.

"Baoer, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xian had been sitting in the car with her and was able to clearly sense her emotional changes, so he asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I'm just thinking, after finishing the matter in Yingzhou, what to do next, I can't decide for the moment." Xin Baoer said.

Although Wei Yu seemed to be driving the carriage slowly, she was actually keeping her ears perked up, listening to the sounds from all directions. Of course, she could hear clearly what her two friends were saying in the carriage.

"Why don't we go back? I've been missing Lancao's cooking lately."

Xin Baoer's heart skipped a beat, and she felt uncomfortable as if she was being seen through, so she didn't respond for a long time.

She didn't know whether she wanted to go back or not. What would she do after she went back? Visit relatives? Visit old friends?

I thought of several words, but I didn’t think of “going home”. Maybe I subconsciously felt that Dingbei Palace was not my home.

It is said that "home is where the heart is!"

But she didn't know where her home was. The Xin family was good to her, but now it could only be considered her mother's home. There was a small courtyard belonging to her in the Xin Mansion in Shengjing, but the place here in the north was too small and she no longer had a house of her own.

The Lin family is just a name and doesn't even have a decent house. The Qin family does have a Qin Mo in the north, but the two of them don't spend much time together and are not very familiar with each other. Naturally, they can't find the feeling of home.

In the end, only the Dingbei Palace was left. There was a courtyard there that belonged to her alone, but that courtyard also belonged to the man who was destined not to belong to her alone.

She herself didn't know when she became greedy, but she ran away after realizing it. She never asked the man what her status or identity was in his eyes, probably because she didn't dare to ask.

And that man had never promised him anything. Even when they were the most intimate, he always kept his bottom line, and he had never heard him make any oaths of eternal love.

A tacit understanding seemed to form naturally between the two of them, and neither of them mentioned anything about the future, as if whoever mentioned it first would break this invisible tacit understanding.

"Baoer, the latest news from the front line."
