Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The three families gathered together and finished their meal with the old man. The atmosphere was a bit awkward at first, but the brothers were connected by blood, and the slight discomfort soon passed.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao also gave each of their grandchildren New Year's money. The money was not much, but it was a blessing and a token of their appreciation, so every child who received the money was very happy.

After dinner, sisters Xiao Ting, Xiao Wan, and Xiao Zhen took their younger brothers to clean up. Xiao Yuer was still young, so she stayed in the house to accompany Grandma Xiao.

The siblings were determined not to let their elders interfere and cleaned up the matter themselves.

After cleaning up, Xiao Ting looked at Xiao Wan and wanted to speak several times, but she didn't say anything.

Xiao Wan understood and just held her hand. Everything was said without words. It is better to always look forward.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Wan and her family returned home to have a reunion dinner with the Tian and Zhang families. Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu gave New Year's money to Tian Shuang, Tian Qing and Zhang Liang, which made Zhang Liang, an eighteen-year-old boy, feel a little embarrassed.

Aunt Zhang looked at Zhang Liang and felt both relieved and worried. He was already an eighteen-year-old boy, but still so silly. She didn't know when he would get married.

Aunt Zhang was worried about her grandson who she didn't know where he was, but Zhang Liang seemed to be unaware of his mother's worries. He followed Xiao Wan in and out every day, having a lot of fun.

When Liu learned about her worries, she was deeply moved, but she still advised Aunt Zhang not to be too anxious, otherwise it would be a disaster if she found someone who was not to her liking.

Aunt Zhang was open-minded, so she let it go.

In the yard, everyone in the Xiao family set off fireworks together. Xiao Wan silently made a wish in her heart, hoping that her family would be safe and healthy in the new year, and that Zhao Mingyuan, who was thousands of miles away, would definitely come back safely.

Everyone looked at the splendor of the fireworks and were instantly captivated by it. Zhang Liang looked at Xiao Wan through the crowd and smiled unconsciously. He also made a wish in his heart, hoping that Xiao Wan would get better and happier.

Zhao Mingyuan, who was thousands of miles away, had already arrived at the border to garrison. It was New Year's Day, and the soldiers in the barracks also celebrated together, but they were not allowed to drink, and they had to be on guard against enemy sneak attacks at all times.

Zhao Mingyuan ate the remaining food that Xiao Wan brought him, and couldn't help but miss Xiao Wan more and more.

The two had just confirmed their feelings and their relationship had deepened, but they were about to part ways. It was not known how long the battle would end.

Zhao Mingyuan felt a little anxious. He had to end it as soon as possible, smash Yilan's conspiracy, and defeat Yilan!

Thinking of this, Zhao Mingyuan cheered up and prepared for the New Year. He would wait until tomorrow morning to summon his soldiers and attack the Yilan Kingdom by surprise!

Who told them to be restless? They can’t even be with Wan’er during the New Year!

Zhao Mingyuan's anger gradually grew, and suddenly someone came to report that there was a visitor. The soldiers immediately put down their chopsticks and quickly became alert.

Zhao Mingyuan waved his hand and ordered someone to bring the person over.

In the darkness, with the firelight shining, three young men and a group of people walked over. Zhao Mingyuan felt that they looked familiar.

Before he could remember where he had met him before, the leading young man grinned with his white teeth and called out, "Brother Mingyuan, we meet again."

In the court of Yilan Kingdom, they do not celebrate the New Year, but have their own festivals to celebrate.

At this time, Wang Ting had been controlled by Zhan Beiting, and he was holding it tightly. Some officials in the court had already defected, but some senior and respected officials still had some backbone.

Although the king was critically ill, his son was still alive, but the prince suddenly disappeared. They formed an alliance and sent many people to look for him, but there was no sign of him.

The ministers were extremely anxious and could not allow Zhan Beiting to take over the country.

Zhan Beiting was happy to see the ministers jumping around, but he didn't care. In his heart, the prince was already a dead man, and the Yilan Kingdom would sooner or later belong to his Zhan family.

What's more, his niece was a concubine in the Yuan Dynasty palace, and the two countries were united. Zhan Beiting thought of the prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty, and a greedy and determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Therefore, even though the king was critically ill, Zhan Beiting did not intend to hasten his death. Moreover, there was the jade seal of Yilan Kingdom, which was hidden very deeply by the old man. If he killed the old king at this time, he might not be able to take the throne in the future with legitimate reasons.

What Zhan Beiting is worried about now is where the jade seal has gone, along with the tiger talisman.

Zhan Beiting has been leading the army for many years, so he naturally has his own army, but apart from that, most of Yilan Kingdom’s military forces are still in the hands of the old king.

This had a significant impact on Zhan Beiting, but not touching the old king did not mean that the prince could not be touched. By now, the prince would probably have been left to die in the wilderness, with no trace left.

Zhan Beiting was complacent. He thought that the old king could not cause any trouble. He could just look for the tiger talisman and the jade seal slowly. Anyway, Yilan Kingdom could only belong to him.

Until a month ago, Crown Prince Mingzhao returned to the palace in a powerful manner, surrounded by most of the respected old ministers of Yilan Kingdom. During the morning court of Yilan Kingdom, he walked slowly into the palace from outside, wearing a brand new crown prince's uniform and with a sarcastic and determined smile on his face.

Zhan Beiting was so shocked that he could hardly speak. Ming Zhao's aura was quite like that of an old king.

As he entered, he seemed to carry with him the aura and radiance of a monarch.

The ministers in the hall knelt down one after another. Zhan Beiting moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Ming Zhao smiled slightly: "General Zhan, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

The words came out lightly, but they carried a lot of weight, with a tone of questioning and oppression.

Zhan Beiting glanced inside and outside the palace, and was surprised that he didn't know that the prince had returned. The palace was guarded everywhere by his people, so how could such a situation occur?

The prince was not dead. The people he sent out clearly said that the prince had fallen into the wilderness long ago.

Zhan Beiting was a little panicked. After a brief thought, he also lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ming Zhao didn't say much, nor did he call out. He walked around him and the ministers and went straight to the dragon throne.

Zhan Beiting raised his head slightly and saw Ming Zhao walking towards the dragon throne. His heart tightened, followed by envy and jealousy.

I haven't even had the chance to sit on the dragon throne, how dare this prince?

It’s just right, I can write something about it.

As for those who did not kill the prince, Zhan Beiting secretly hated them. He would go back and investigate thoroughly, and he would never forgive them.

When he arrived next to the dragon throne, Prince Mingzhao did not sit down, but sat on the chair that the palace servants had just brought and placed next to the dragon throne. Zhan Beiting was puzzled, but then he understood.
