After the interstellar female general died in battle, she transmigrated into the body of a dashing p

When he mentioned An Chong's devastating blow, Zheng Zhian also remembered that his father seemed to have told him about the war against the Northern Barbarians, but he didn't expect there to be this reason.

But the deal she proposed was different from the previous ones. Zheng Zhian earnestly explained his idea: "We can only allow the border people to exchange goods with them, and then stipulate which items we can exchange, with severe penalties for violators. The trading time is only one month before winter, and it will be conducted under the supervision of Uncle Zong. The location will be decided by the garrison commanders of both sides."

After saying that, Zheng Zhian felt her mouth was dry. She asked him to put her on the ground, and she ran to the table to pour herself a cup of tea, which she drank in one gulp.

After listening to her, Zheng Hongyuan thought about it more and more and felt that it was feasible. This idea was indeed a safe way to solve the border problem.

If all goes well, the soldiers on the border will have an easier time.

"How did you come up with that?" Zheng Hongyuan looked at her seriously; he didn't believe Yang Xin had taught him.

Using the excuse that Zheng Zhian had already thought it through, he said, "Isn't this similar to the situation with Xiyu Kingdom? Just with a few slight modifications." He then rolled his eyes, practically implying, "You're so stupid!"

This matter was indeed similar to that of the Western Yu Kingdom, but upon closer examination, there were some important differences. For example, bartering was used instead of money, which was to prevent the barbarians from using money to buy other things from the Western Yu Kingdom...

The people in the court were probably wary of the Northern Barbarians because of the painful lesson they learned from their invasion. They were like people who had been bitten by a snake once and were afraid of a rope for ten years. That's why she was able to take advantage of the situation.

Looking at her, Zheng Hongyuan thought that if she had a tail, she would be wagging her tail in the air. He shook his head helplessly and said, "If that's the case, what are you so proud of?"

"Who told me to say it!" Zheng Zhian raised his head high, looking just like a proud peacock.

Deep down, she couldn't help but despise herself, but she had to act in a way that suited her child, otherwise she would truly become a monster.

Zheng Hongyuan was amused by her words, and had to admit that she was right, since what the little one said was indeed true.

Lunch was ready, and the two sat down. Zheng Hongyuan asked her with a smile, "What brings you here today? Tell me."

"I want to leave the palace to see my maternal grandfather," Zheng Zhi'an said without hesitation, stating his purpose.

I can't refuse her since she just performed so well!

Zheng Hongyuan picked up a piece of cherry meat, which she liked, for her own good. "I'll have someone pass on a message to your maternal grandfather, saying that you miss him and he will definitely come to see you right away."

He knew perfectly well that the little guy just wanted to go out of the palace to play.

"I want to go to the Duke's mansion," Zheng Zhian said, pretending to be disappointed as he ate his rice.

Thinking he had really upset her, Zheng Hongyuan changed his tune and coaxed her, "If you want to go, then go. Just bring more people with you."

"Thank you, Dad. Dad's the best!" Zheng Zhian immediately looked up and gave him a big smile.

Hearing her address, Zheng Hongyuan didn't mind. In fact, he quite liked the little one calling him that, but she only called him that when she was very happy.

He casually picked up another dish for her and chuckled, "You little rascal."

Watching this scene of tender paternal love, Danqin, standing beside Liu Fuquan, stared blankly at her toes, her head bowed. If only Her Majesty were still here...

The father and daughter enjoyed their lunch to the fullest. Before leaving, Zheng Zhian didn't forget the promise he had made to Chief Eunuch Liu when he entered the palace. He leaned over Danqin's shoulder and said seriously to his father, who was about to continue reading the memorials, "Father, you must eat, sleep, and rest on time. Otherwise, I'll come and bother you every day!" He even made a face at the end.

Zheng Hongyuan shook his head helplessly, agreeing with "I understand" but his eyes glanced at Liu Fuquan, who was sitting beside him like a meditating monk.

Upon meeting his gaze, Liu Fuquan's previously smiling face froze, and he immediately lowered his head, knowing nothing!

Having received her father's reply, Zheng Zhian signaled that Danqin could leave. The two arrived at the carriage that had been prepared in advance, and she couldn't help but twitch her lips. The magnificent carriage with its emerald canopy and pearl tassels almost blinded her.

Leaving the palace? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

Danqin was completely unfazed, having seen far more luxurious and dazzling things. But after receiving the blatant look of disdain from the little one in her arms, she understood.

He turned to look at the expressionless deputy commander of the guard standing to the side and asked him, "Lord Chi, could we change to a smaller carriage?"

"I'll have someone change it right away," Chi Yang said awkwardly in a muffled voice, turning around to instruct someone to change the carriage.

This was originally arranged according to the travel protocol for a legitimate princess, but unexpectedly Princess Le'an didn't like it.

The carriage she received in exchange was still a bit too exquisite, but it was much better than the previous one, so she nodded. She didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer.

Stepping inside the car, she saw that it was spacious enough for at least five or six people, and the side wall in the middle was inlaid with nanmu wood lattice with tea sets on it... She couldn't help but exclaim, "They're really rich."

After a moment's thought, she realized that since these all belonged to her father, she also had a share. She muttered under her breath, "What a spendthrift!"

After she sat down on the main brocade couch, she squinted her eyes and lay down directly on it. This money was well spent!

Danqin, sitting on the small couch next to the tea table, looked at her with a gaze that seemed to say, "Does your face hurt?"

Perhaps sensing Danqin's blatantly intense gaze, Zheng Zhian raised his hand to his lips, coughed lightly, and, thinking of the person outside, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why haven't I seen that Lord Chi before?"

"Which guard do you remember?" Danqin didn't expose her attempt to change the subject to cover up her embarrassment, but her question only made Zheng Zhian more awkward.

She raised her hand and touched her nose, chuckling, "I don't know about the others, but I'm sure I've never seen this person before."

Zheng Zhian also knows that she has a slight case of face blindness. She can't remember most people unless they have special memory points.

But the man outside, with his wheat-colored skin, imposing build, square face, thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes, looked like someone not to be trifled with. If she had actually seen him, she would probably have some recollection of him.

"His name is Chi Yang. You may not know him, but you should know his father," Danqin reminded her with a faint smile.

The surname is Chi. Zheng Zhian quickly recalled the names of officials in the court. “Chi Chengwen, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?” This person was one of the officials who assisted his maternal grandfather in supervising the examination. His son was actually serving in the Imperial Guard!

Seeing that she had guessed it, the two exchanged glances, and Danqin nodded. The two then said no more.

Their carriage traveled along the official road east of the palace all the way to the Duke's mansion, where people were already waiting at the gate.

When Zheng Zhian got out of the car, he was held in Danqin's arms. He looked at the gate and saw a woman dressed in plain clothes with a deep and hideous scar on her face, which extended from her left eyebrow to the bridge of her nose.

She waved her little hand high and called out, "Uncle Xu!" If it were anyone else, they would probably be scared away by him.

Hearing her soft, sweet voice, Xu Shi's weathered face broke into a smile. He quickly stepped forward to take her, saying, "Little princess, what brings you here? Aren't you hot? Come on in, we'll talk inside..."

Perhaps his intention was to appear more amiable, but his smile made him look more like a monster from folklore that eats children.

It must be said that the little princess has a good capacity for endurance. When Danqin handed the person over to him, she respectfully called him "Uncle Xu".
