Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

The emperor sat upright on his throne, his expression solemn. After Xiao Shen finished bowing, he slowly spoke: "Minister Xiao, the matter of the rebellion of the Prince of Qi in the North is far more troublesome than I had anticipated."

"For many years, the King of Qi has been secretly raising an army right under my nose. His military strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, his army is well-equipped and well-trained."

"Now that he has openly started a rebellion, I know that there will be many difficulties and dangers in suppressing this rebellion. But I believe in your ability. Among all the generals in the court, only you have the courage, strategy and prestige to shoulder this great responsibility."

"I will provide full support from the rear, and provisions and military supplies will be allocated with priority. However, this battle is not only about the peace of the north, but also about the fate of my empire. Do you have confidence, my dear minister?"

After speaking, the emperor's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Xiao Shen, as if trying to discern determination and resolve in his eyes.

Xiao Shen was slightly taken aback, realizing the deeper meaning behind the emperor's actions.

He pondered for a moment, then knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and said loudly, "Your Majesty's grace is beyond measure, and I will do my utmost to live up to Your Majesty's trust."

The emperor nodded slightly, a subtle hint of something deeper flashing in his eyes, and then said, "Minister Xiao, I have another matter to entrust to you. My crown prince, though ambitious, lacks military experience."

"I intend to send the Crown Prince with you to the north to quell the rebellion. This trip will not only be to quell the rebellion of the Prince of Qi, but also to provide an opportunity for the Crown Prince to establish his authority."

"As you also know, the Second Prince's birth mother, Consort Song, has a powerful family backing her. Now that the Empress's family is weak, if you are unwilling to lend him a helping hand in this palace, who else can protect him and assist him?"

"My dear minister, you are a seasoned veteran with rich experience. I hope you can offer me much guidance on the journey, helping him to make a difference in this war, so that all the officials and the people can see the Crown Prince's responsibility and ability. What do you think, my dear minister?"

Having said that, the emperor clasped his hands together, awaiting Xiao Shen's response.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Shen clasped his hands in a salute again and said in a deep voice, "Since Your Majesty has issued the decree, I will obey it without hesitation. I will do my utmost to assist His Highness the Crown Prince and spare no effort to quell the rebellion in order to repay Your Majesty's great kindness."

The emperor looked pleased and said slowly, "Minister Xiao is very righteous, which pleases me greatly. I promise you that I will take good care of your family while you are on the front lines. I will assign someone to protect your wife, Lady Ji, and keep her safe from any disturbance."

After discussing the matter with the emperor, Xiao Shen is to depart today.

Ji Xiaosong prepared his bundle early in the morning, and Rongrong told her the result after the emperor gave the order.

outside the city gate

"My lord, you must be extremely careful on your mission to quell the rebellion. The battlefield is dangerous; you must not only attend to the war effort but also take great care of your own safety."

As she spoke, Ji Xiaosong handed the bundle she had prepared to Xiao Shen, "Inside are some commonly used medicines and spare clothes that I prepared for you, so don't forget them."

Xiao Shen took the bundle, gently embraced Ji Xiaosong, and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"My lady, do not worry, I will definitely return safely. With His Majesty's decree, you will be safe and sound in the city. Just wait for me."

A moment later, Xiao Shen released his embrace and turned to walk towards the horses.

He mounted his horse, took one last look at Ji Xiaosong, and said firmly, "Madam, wait for me."

After saying this, he spurred his horse and, together with the crown prince, led the army slowly out of the city.

Ji Xiaosong stood there, watching the departing group until they disappeared from sight.

"Rongrong, when do you think would be a good time for me to leave?"

[Travel in ancient times was quite slow. Are you planning to take a horse-drawn carriage or use some other method?]

"My magical power is weak, so I can't fly. Therefore, I can only travel by carriage."

You can sit on this cloud of mine. In this small world, my only really useful function is probably as a means of transportation.

"What? You can actually carry me and fly? That's amazing! Rongrong, how fast are you?"

While it can't compare to Sun Wukong's somersault cloud, it's several times faster than an ordinary steed. At my full power, traversing several states in a single day is not difficult, and I'm sure I can help you catch up with General Xiao and the others as quickly as possible.

"Since you're so fast, I don't need to set off too early to avoid tiring myself out. We'll talk about it when Xiao Shen and the others are almost in the North. I'll make the arrangements in advance and give him a surprise."

With her worries resolved, Ji Xiaosong returned to the General's Mansion and quickly took care of things at home.

The servants in the mansion were all well-trained, each performing their duties with great discipline.

As the steward, Uncle Chen managed the General's Mansion in an excellent manner.

Therefore, Ji Xiaosong was not worried that anything would go wrong in the Xiao family after she left.

After calculating the days, Xiao Shen realized that it would take about half a month for him to travel from the capital to the northern lands.

Therefore, Ji Xiaosong has about ten days to prepare some supplies that may be needed for the trip to the North.

Within her own space, there was nothing but endless soil.

This space has existed since the beginning of its intelligence, but its range of activities is extremely limited, almost non-existent, due to its plant nature.

For the past ten days, Ji Xiaosong has been busy every day.

She first secretly ordered people to purchase a large quantity of hemostatic herbs, wound medicine, detoxifying pills, and other medicines. She also carefully selected thick and warm clothing and bedding, thinking that these would definitely come in handy in the cold northern climate.

In addition, some easy-to-carry and non-perishable dry food and meat jerky were prepared for emergencies.

To avoid attracting attention, Ji Xiaosong instructed Chen Bo to transport the supplies in batches to a secluded warehouse within the mansion under the guise of renovations, and then she secretly stored them in her personal space.

They publicly claimed that the General's Mansion was stockpiling supplies for winter to avoid arousing suspicion.

She also went to the warehouse and found some ingenious hidden weapons, which she concealed in her sleeves and waist for self-defense.

In addition, Ji Xiaosong did not forget to select some precious tonics, thinking that if Xiao Shen was overworked on the battlefield, these would help him recover his energy.

Finally, Ji Xiaosong suddenly remembered that she needed to purchase a large number of seeds.

The harvest cycle for food grown in one's own space is still unclear, while the consumption of food during wartime is like a bottomless pit.

In ancient times, grain production was already low, and there was always a risk of shortages if the army needed to be supplied.

So she hurriedly dispatched Uncle Chen to various places to collect as many kinds of grain and vegetable seeds as possible, especially those varieties that are cold-resistant and have a relatively short growth cycle, in an effort to find a way out of the possible food shortage.

Uncle Chen accepted the order and left without asking any further questions.

Ji Xiaosong then conducted a final sorting and inventory of the prepared supplies in the mansion, carefully arranging medicines, clothing, dry food, and other items. At the same time, she selected several loyal guards and instructed them to be on standby at any time.

When Uncle Chen returned, the seeds were properly placed in his own space.

After everything was prepared, she quietly waited in the mansion for the time to set off.
