After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"Oh, is that so?" The waiter was a little disappointed. "Thank you very much, young master! If you need anything, just let me know!"

After that, he turned around and left!

"Wait!" Zhong Ning suddenly said, "I don't know the recipe for that snack, but I have a recipe that tastes even better. Do you want it?"

“Yes…” The waiter’s expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright!

Zhong Ning secretly thought that he had done a bad job and had not given the gift properly, which had caused more trouble later.

She carefully recalled how she had once made a simple version of steamed egg cake at home, and then simply explained the steps in general.

The ingredients needed, such as eggs, sugar, and milk, were not within her consideration; she was only responsible for providing ideas.

It doesn’t matter whether they pay or not. After all, the ingredients for this dim sum are quite high, and it’s still a question whether they can bear to try it!

Sure enough, when the waiter heard the ingredient requirements, his expression changed again and again, and then he went to report to the shopkeeper with a smile.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came in person to greet them and told Zhong Ning specifically that they had just bought this. If the experiment was successful, Zhong Ning would get 10% of the profit for every copy sold.

This was really beyond Zhong Ning's expectations.

Originally, she had no intention of asking for any money, she was just doing a favor. After all, she would still be living in this place for the next six months, so it was inevitable that she would have to come here to eat.

It’s not bad to be able to make a good connection!

"Boss, I just heard some commotion downstairs. Did anything happen?" Zhong Ning asked.

The shopkeeper sighed and then replied, "There might be a war on the border!"

"Oh? Can you tell me more?"

"Since the founding of their nation, the Western Rong have frequently harassed our borders. Just recently, they sent troops south, claiming they wanted to establish a close relationship with Dayong, forming a kinship through marriage and jointly defending against the Northern Di!"

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then sat down on the chair next to Zhong Ning. "A while ago, when Prince Li Yuanche of the Western Rong visited our court, he fell in love with Princess Zhaoyang."

A marriage alliance?

interesting!

If Xirong really did this, I am afraid that the ministers in the court would definitely support it with all their strength.

She had read some history about this era. The founding emperor, Emperor Yongle, was similar to Emperor Taizu of Song in her time.

Build the country with military force and rule the world with culture.

The national policy of emphasizing culture over military power and the foreign policy of appeasement all show that the emperors of the Yong Dynasty were peace-loving.

If the war crisis can be resolved peacefully, they will definitely support it with all their strength!

What's more, the previous dynasty had policies of marrying princesses to foreign countries and appeasing barbarian nations. Even if you don't know how to do it, you can just copy and refer to them.

She had also heard of the name of Princess Zhaoyang.

The current emperor has few children, only two sons and one daughter.

One son is the legitimate son of the current queen mother, Queen Ye, and was made the crown prince at birth.

The other son and daughter were both born to Concubine Wu Chen!

Therefore, Dayong had only one princess, and she was the emperor's beloved daughter.

I'm afraid that the marriage proposal will not be easily agreed to.

Zhong Ning looked at the shopkeeper again, "What happened next?"

Seeing that Zhong Ning was interested, the shopkeeper also cooperated. "There is only one princess in the world, how could she be willing to marry into the Western Rong? They said they are negotiating with the Western Rong envoys to choose a girl from the royal family to marry!"

"Then the Prince of Xirong must not be willing, right?" Zhong Ning said again.

"That's right. The Prince of Xirong isn't so easy to fool. He boasts of his noble status and would marry a real princess. Who would want a daughter of the royal family? That's why the negotiations are at a stalemate, and a border war could break out at any time!"

"I'm afraid that princess won't just sit there and wait for death!" Zhong Ning guessed.

The emperor's beloved daughter has been raised in luxury since childhood. She must be extremely arrogant and savage. It would be strange if she would agree to marry into a small country!

The shopkeeper glanced around, then lowered his voice and said softly, "That's right. I heard that Princess Zhaoyang made a big fuss, saying she had someone in her heart and would rather die than marry her ideal husband!"

"It's a strong one..." Zhong Ning said lightly.

"That's right. I heard that Princess Zhaoyang and the eldest son of the Yongyi Marquis family were childhood sweethearts and would not marry anyone but you. I'm afraid she won't give in easily to this marriage! In the end, she will still choose a daughter of the royal family and make her a princess to marry off to Xirong!"

Zhong Ning scoffed. "How could that princess be so innocent? If she really married the Xirong prince, I'm afraid what awaits him is the indifference and destruction of the Xirong prince! After all, no man can accept that he would devote all the country's strength to marrying a substitute!"

"Oh...it's hard to say. We are all ordinary people! We just hope there will be no disaster!" The shopkeeper sighed heavily and said weakly.

Zhong Ning also looked a little worried.

No matter in which era, once a war breaks out, the first to suffer are always ordinary people.

Especially when foreign races entered the Central Plains, they basically massacred the city. Even if they encountered an enemy who did not massacre the city, they would allow their soldiers to rob.

The soldiers of this era are different from the soldiers of her era.

Throughout history, robbery by soldiers and bandits is not uncommon.

The common people were powerless and had to guard against the enemy attacking the city and seizing the land, carrying out massacres, and also against being robbed by soldiers and bandits, which would destroy their life's property.

In troubled times, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to save their lives.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning stood up and said goodbye. She felt that she needed to prepare some more supplies and put them in the space in case of any emergency.

Just do it.

As usual, Zhong Ning went to several shops where he bought supplies in the past. He first bought 100 bags of rice, millet, flour, etc., 100 steamed buns and sesame cakes, two pieces of pork, 10 processed chickens and ducks, and 100 eggs.

I bought everything again according to the list I purchased last time, only paid a deposit, and then told them my home address and asked them to deliver the goods to my door.

After confirmation, pay the full amount!

About an hour later, Zhong Ning finished everything and returned home.

Before entering the house, I saw a carriage parked in front of the door of the house next door. The carriage looked very ordinary, but the person who got off the carriage was very extraordinary.

A handsome young man got off the car first. Although he was dressed simply, his aura was extraordinary.

He stood in front of the carriage, stretched out one hand, and took a white, tender and smooth soft hand from the front of the carriage. First the hand, then the body, and saw a woman in plain clothes being carefully helped out of the carriage by the young man!

The woman's skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her lips seemed to contain pearls. Her every frown and smile seemed to be full of charm. She looked at the young man affectionately, and then her cheeks turned shy.

Zhong Ning stood at the door and was fed a mouthful of dog food.

She quickly patted her face to regain her senses, pushed the door open, and waited eagerly for her supplies to arrive.
