Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Under Yin Yin's management, the morale and spirit of the Yangliao camp troops were quickly restored.

At this point, Yin Yin took out the training plan she had prepared in advance and had them practice step by step.

Before autumn had even arrived, the soldiers in the Yangliao camp had undergone a complete transformation and were quite a sight to behold.

When Fu Yuanzhou got into the mood, he also joined them in practicing, but with his abilities, he couldn't keep up at all.

However, he was both bad at it and loved to practice, so after a while, he would get back into the swing of things and go back to practice.

Because of his status, no one in the army spoke ill of him, and Yin Yin also offered him a lot of encouragement. Later on, he really did become more capable.

At least he left behind those in the military who had been slacking off, and those people immediately stopped lying down.

After all, if Fu Yuanzhou could surpass them, even the most shameless people couldn't withstand the astonished gazes of the entire army.

Uncle Wen never expected that Yin Yin would actually manage the Yangliao camp so well, and even Fu Yuanzhou's health improved as a result.

He felt it was a good thing, yet he was wary of Yin Yin, creating a constant internal conflict.

Yin Yin didn't care what he was agonizing over. She had almost finished dealing with matters in the military, and before giving birth, she planned to take over domestic affairs as well, so that there would be no worries about the future.

Uncle Wen was worried and kept delaying, but he still couldn't overcome the fact that he had a nephew who was siding with outsiders.

Yinyin had lived in Yangliao for many years and was very familiar with the local problems. She brought in the talented people she found and made sweeping reforms, which made Yangliao much cleaner and more pleasant.

Within the territory of Yangliao, there is nothing that the Prince's Palace cannot know.

In late autumn, Yin Yin gave birth to the eldest son of the Prince of Yangliao.

Holding the next generation of his family, Uncle Wen's former resentment had faded considerably, and he no longer had such great ambitions for politics.

Yinyin didn't let him be completely idle; she elevated him to a high position, making him look down on the people below.

Whether he was just saying it or not, he would always try to take advantage of anyone who was undermining Yangliao's interests and enriching themselves.

The news that Yin Yin had given birth to the legitimate son of the Prince of Yangliao was sent to the capital along with the New Year's gifts. The emperor, following custom, chose a name with a good meaning for the child.

Fu Yuanzhou hoped that the emperor would not bring up this matter, so that he and Yinyin could decide the child's name themselves.

But such a wishful thinking is ultimately just that—a wishful thinking. Fu Yuanzhou could only passively accept the name and the rewards that came with it for his son.

Turning his head, Fu Yuanzhou said, "The name Father Emperor gave him is too difficult. He's too young to understand it. Let's just call him Tangyuan, the nickname we gave him."

Yinyin didn't object, and the family started calling her Tangyuan (glutinous rice ball).

There weren't many masters in the Prince's Mansion, so on New Year's Eve, the whole family went directly back to Chu Family Fortress.

Uncle Wen initially refused to come, but he was caught up in the lively atmosphere, and with the adorable Jue Ge'er constantly curiously approaching him, he couldn't keep a straight face anymore.

The family stayed for more than a month after the Lunar New Year before slowly making their way back.

It wasn't that they felt staying too long was bad, but rather that the sixth prince of Ming had ascended the throne and was considering reneging on the marriage alliance. He even specially reinstated General Li and sent him back to the Li border.

The Le Kingdom was well-prepared for this and had already set up its defenses, ready to fight again if the Ming Kingdom made any rash moves.

As Yangliao was located on the border, the emperor also sent a message ordering them to send troops. They didn't need to do anything on the front lines; they just needed to make an appearance, and they could share in the credit.

On the carriage back to Yangliao, Fu Yuanzhou still found it unbelievable: "Father actually wants me to get a share of the profits? It didn't rain blood, and the sun didn't rise in the west!"

Yinyin chuckled softly and shook the little bell in her hand to amuse Tangyuan: "Perhaps the memorials I submitted this year have had an effect, and Father Emperor remembered you when he needed someone?"

"Perhaps," having found a plausible reason, Fu Yuanzhou let go of his worries and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he hugged Yin Yin and said in a muffled voice, "Father ordered me to lead the team personally. We'll have to be apart for a while."

"I don't know when I'll be back. Why don't you come with me, Yinyin?"

Even if you go, you won't be able to fight. Yinyin didn't want to show her face right now, so she said, "If there's another opportunity like this in the future, I'll go with you. But this time, Father specially selected you, so you should go by yourself. I'll send you some food and supplies often."

“I’d better not,” Fu Yuanzhou refused with difficulty. “The doctor said you shouldn’t overwork yourself for the next six months. Although the garrison is not far from Yangliao, it still takes most of the day to get there by horse. You should take good care of your health and wait for me to come back at home.”

“We’ll be together for a long, long time,” Fu Yuanzhou said, then added, “I’ll write to you.”

Yinyin replied to him, "I'll write you a letter too, and when I have time, I'll draw a picture of tangyuan for you, okay?"

“I want yours more,” Fu Yuanzhou said in a sticky, coquettish tone. “Otherwise, Yinyin, you can draw a small one, and I’ll keep it close to my body.”

Yinyin couldn't resist his pestering and finally agreed.

When he left, Fu Yuanzhou didn't ask Yinyin to see him off. In his words, if he could take a few more glances at the mother and daughter, he would be reluctant to leave.

Most of the people in the Yangliao camp set off with them, leaving only a little over a thousand people to guard and maintain logistics.

That day, after Yin Yin finished dealing with matters at the Prince's residence, she received a message from home.

"Your Highness, the master said that a guest from Mingjing has suddenly come to visit, claiming to be a relative. If you do not wish to see him, he will send him away."

Isn't that the family that Mingjing is related to?

General Li is currently the commander-in-chief on the opposite side, yet he suddenly sent someone to the Chu family, wanting to see her. No one knows what he's up to.

Yinyin said, "Now that the two armies have set up their battle formations, someone from Mingjing is my relative. Who knows what they're up to?"

“Go back and tell my father that I’m busy in the city and won’t be going.”

The messenger agreed and left. Yinyin then selected a few skilled scouts from the Yangliao camp: "Go and see what's going on. Help my family and make sure they don't fall into any traps."

By evening, these people returned and told Yinyin, "Those people were mixed in with the caravans; Master Chu didn't even let them into the fortress."

"After being dismissed by Master Chu, they did not leave immediately, but instead quietly entered the city to stay overnight. Their lodgings were not far from our Prince's Mansion."
