At noon, Shen Li came back from Huichuntang Medical College with brisk steps, and was preparing to eat something and have a good sleep.

However, just as she stepped into the mansion, she suddenly ran into Yun Chenyu.

Yun Chenyu's brows were furrowed, his face full of worry, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Shen Li couldn't help but feel puzzled. She quickly moved closer to him and asked with concern, "What happened? Look at you, you look as worried as a bitter gourd!"

Yun Chenyu sighed softly and replied worriedly, "There's been a rare heavy snowfall in the northern border area. The snow is so deep that even the roads are completely blocked.

Now, the food and grass we transport to the northern border cannot be delivered at all. If these food and grass still cannot be delivered within ten days, the 100,000 troops stationed in the northern border will face the dilemma of running out of food and starving.

This morning at the court, the Emperor has already ordered me to go and resolve this matter."

Hearing this, Shen Li widened his eyes and said in disbelief:

"How could a prince who's supposed to lead the army in battle be asked to worry about transporting food and fodder? Has the emperor lost his mind? What are those food and fodder officers for then? Are they just there to eat and do nothing?"

Yun Chenyu shook his head helplessly.

"This snowstorm is truly devastating. The snow is even taller than a person. If we rely solely on the forage officers to operate according to procedures, even if we chop off their heads, we won't be able to deliver the food within ten days."

Shen Li nodded to show his understanding.

Because she knew very well that for Yun Chenyu, the soldiers in the army were the ones he cherished most.

"So you're going to set off for the Northern Frontier now?"

Shen Li asked softly, his eyes fixed on Yun Chenyu.

"That's right." Yun Chenyu nodded solemnly, "I must leave immediately for the Northern Frontier to personally direct the grain transportation. After all, it concerns the life and death of an entire 100,000-man army. There is no room for delay."

After saying this, he gazed at Shen Li with deep affection and gently instructed: "A Li, I am not in the palace during this period. You must be more careful in your actions. No matter what you do, you must not be reckless or careless."

However, at this moment, Shen Li suddenly said something.

"I want to go to the Northern Frontier with you."

These words exploded in Yun Chenyu's ears like a thunder, shocking him greatly.

"You actually want to go to the Northern Frontier with me?"

Yun Chenyu looked at Shen Li in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Shen Li nodded firmly and responded, "Yes. I think one more person can bring more strength and a new way of thinking. Besides, the two of us can look after each other."

Yun Chenyu's heart softened after hearing this, but he quickly regained his senses.

He frowned and said with difficulty, "Ali, the northern border is now suffering from heavy snow and the weather is extremely cold and severe. I really can't bear to let you follow me there to suffer and freeze.

You should stay in the palace. Once I have dealt with the food and fodder issues, I will come back to accompany you as soon as possible and bring you gifts."

Although Yun Chenyu was very reluctant to be separated from Shen Li for too long, considering the difficult environment in the northern border, he really did not want to see his beloved little princess suffer outside.

Shen Li tightly grabbed Yun Chenyu's wide sleeves and gently shook him like a cute little deer.

"Oh, I'm not afraid, just let me go with you.

You've seen my intelligence before, maybe I can really help you a lot!"

After saying that, Shen Li's big watery eyes looked at Yun Chenyu with anticipation, her cherry lips slightly pouting, a faint blush on her face, such a look was really irresistible.

Yun Chenyu, who was always calm and composed, was completely dumbfounded at this moment, because this was the first time that his little princess acted so tenderly and coquettishly in front of him!

He felt a warm current surge into his heart instantly, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

Especially when he saw Shen Li's pitiful and lovable look, he even felt as if his nose was about to bleed.

So he quickly raised his head and sniffed hard, trying to calm himself down to avoid any embarrassing situation.

However, Shen Li didn't seem to be planning to give up. She shook Yun Chenyu's sleeve again and said, "Just take me with you to the Northern Frontier~"

She has the interests of her country and family in her heart, but as a little woman, her abilities are limited, so she should leave those matters to the older men.

Now, she just wants to see the ancient snow scene and appreciate the scenery outside the capital.

It's not like she hasn't seen snow in modern times.

However, modern snow is too small because car exhaust and industrial combustion are making the world warmer and warmer. The tiny snowflakes fall to the ground and melt in a short while.

She really wanted to see what the kind of heavy snow that could drown people looked like.

Yun Chenyu looked at the coquettish little woman and his heart softened.

"The roads in Northern Xinjiang are narrow and snowy. If you want to go, we can only go there on horseback. Can you do it?"

"Riding a horse? Of course!" Shen Li jumped up happily and pulled Yun Chenyu around for several circles.

In modern times, she rarely rides a horse. She often travels by off-road vehicle, jeep, etc., and sometimes even by helicopter.

Nowadays, it would be nice to be able to ride a horse!

"Then I'll go change my clothes right away, wait for me!"

Shen Li happily went back to Danxue Pavilion to change clothes.

......

Not long after, Shen Li changed into a simple and neat set of clothes.

"You want to go to Northern Xinjiang wearing only this little? You'll freeze to death!"

Yun Chenyu took a white fox fur cloak from Xiao Jingyan and put it on Shen Li himself.

"Just buy some thick clothes when we get there." Shen Li said, "It's not too cold in the capital during the winter. Since there's no market, there are naturally few thick clothes for sale. The further north we go, the colder it gets, and the thicker the clothes sold will be, so don't worry that I'll freeze to death." Shen Li said proudly.

"You're quite clever, girl!"

"Let's go, the horses are ready and waiting at the door."

"Okay, let's go to the northern border to see the snow!"
