Spoiled Wife - C98 I'sm terribly disappointed

When Aunt Ning heard the news, she knew that Lan Xin had gotten into trouble again. His heart burned with anxiety and he rushed over immediately.

Lan Xin kneeled down while the empress dowager poured tea all over her. Seeing this, Aunt Ning didn’t say anything and kneeled down instead. This wasn’t the time to plead, it was always wrong to say anything.

This time, the empress dowager was truly angry. She had just left the Tzu Ning Palace and such a thing had happened. Those who didn’t know of it would think that the empress dowager was the one who ordered it, so what was Jing Ze thinking? Previously, it was with great difficulty that Lan Xin returned to the palace for the sake of the entire Aunt Ning. But now, this matter had unexpectedly cropped up again, causing her words to sound like she was lying to Jing Ze.

Back then, making Lan Xin continue to head back to the palace, the empress dowager promised not to let her appear in front of him again in the future. Now that Lan Xin had made such a scene, how could the empress dowager not be angry? Furthermore, he was intentionally blocking the way out of the Tzu Ning Palace, he sure was ambitious.

Seeing the Aunt Ning kneel down without a sound, the empress dowager did not loosen her anger and asked, “How did you promise This Dowager? Teach her well, is this what you’re doing? Is This Dowager being too lenient to let you all forget your responsibilities? ”

The Aunt Ning immediately began to kowtow towards the empress dowager. “This servant is ashamed for not living up to the empress dowager’s trust. Please punish her.”

The empress dowager saw that she didn’t know what to say anymore. After all, she was an old man who had followed by her side for so long, and was usually pretty good, even when facing Lan Xin, he always lost his composure. Thus, she helplessly said, “You should get up.

Aunt Ning knew that the empress dowager had shown mercy, so he knelt down and kowtowed. “This servant thanks empress dowager.” No matter what, he had to get things done for Lan Xin this time.

When the empress dowager saw her like that, she sighed for her as well. He waved his hand. “You may leave.”

Aunt Ning also had a face full of exhaustion. After kowtowing once again, she left with Lan Xin, walking forward without saying anything, regardless of whether or not Lan Xin could keep up.

When Lan Xin saw her like that in front of the Empress Dowager, she knew that she had caused her a great deal of trouble this time. Seeing her walk all the way without paying attention to her, she started to get scared again.

At this time, she didn’t dare to say more, and silently chased closely behind Aunt Ning. When they arrived at their residence, Aunt Ning closed the door and said to Lan Xin, “Mother Gan will find you a reliable family as soon as possible, prepare your dowry properly.”

“Mother?!” Lan Xin didn’t think that her mother would let her marry so decisively. For a moment, she couldn’t accept it. Previously, she said that she had to find a reliable one, and she didn’t hate it.

At this time, his intention was to not ask for her opinion. To directly order someone for her was completely different from how his mother usually treated him. When had she ever not asked for his opinion? Moreover, even if there were different opinions, the godmother would always compromise with her, so this was the first time she made such a strong decision for her.

“What is it? You want to enter the King’s Mansion? ” Aunt Ning asked with an expressionless face. There was no trace of happiness or anger in his voice, as if this was the most frightening thing he could do.

Although Lan Xin knew that she was being impulsive today and that the prince’s actions had made her feel wronged, that she was being so ruthless, she didn’t feel that she was in the wrong.

What was wrong with her wanting her happiness? Also, he couldn’t let his mother directly marry him to some random cat or dog.

“If I don’t marry, then I’ll just go out of the palace to live. In any case, I won’t marry.” She also knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay in the palace any longer. If the empress dowager had spoken, who would dare disobey?

Aunt Ning’s face was full of weariness that couldn’t be covered up. She said weakly: “Then you can leave.” Let’s see if you can survive outside!

Lan Xin dumbfoundedly looked at Aunt Ning. She didn’t expect her to say such a thing, but Aunt Ning closed her eyes and didn’t want to look at her. It was too disappointing, truly too disappointing!

As if nothing had happened in the palace, he looked at the things that the wangfei had prepared for him to travel back and forth. This time, it was different from last time when he went to the south of the river.

The date was set for the twentieth day of the eighth month. There were only a few days left, and King Duanren had also found the time to return to the estate to accompany her. Battling was not a small matter; there were too many things to prepare in advance.

Any negligence on the battlefield was equivalent to a person’s life. From counting troops to prepare weapons to fodder and medicine, everything had to be properly arranged. How long this battle could be fought, to what it looked like, was a crucial part of the preparation process.

King Xian walked to Shen Qi’s side and reached out to take the list from her hands. “I’ve already made ample preparations, you don’t have to be so careful, consort.”

Shen Qi raised her head to look at him, her eyebrows curved into a smile, “The Prince is back.”

“Yes.” King Xian gave a casual grunt of acknowledgement before continuing, “Leave these to the people below. You don’t have to bow down to them personally.”

Shen Qi shook his head, “I can’t stop worrying, I have to watch it personally.” Then she changed the topic and said, “Compared to the prince, this is nothing, I can’t help you with the war. Doing what I can do will always be okay, and it will also make me feel more at ease.”

“Will the prince be able to return before the new year?” He still asked.

Although the prince said it easily, Shen Qi felt that this time, his preparation was not as simple as it seemed. She was not even sure if things had changed, but she felt that it didn’t feel like it was a short cut, but rather that it was meant to drag out the battle.

King Xian looked at her and sighed in his heart. She was still as sensitive as he was. He had only recently received the news and even his mother did not know about it. She thought that she would be able to come back for the New Year.

It was because he knew about this that his royal brother was in such a hurry. He even wanted to bring the woman to the front lines to leave descendants behind.

He didn’t know what to say to her now. He didn’t want to look into her disappointed eyes, but he didn’t want to lie to her either. He reached out and touched her temple. “I’ll definitely be by your side next year.” That was a promise.

These words also let Shen Qi know that her guess was right. No wonder he acted this abnormal in the past two days, even the guards in the Duke Palaces were much more nervous than before.

“But what happened?” Weren’t they under his control all along? It was snowing continuously every winter in Guanbei and was frozen for thousands of miles, so it was not suitable for war at all. In the past, most wars would be fought during the summer and autumn seasons, while winter and spring recuperated.

The reason why they didn’t fight in winter was because it was easy for them to lose soldiers due to the lack of benefits both to the enemy and to their own side. There was no point in fighting a war where the enemy didn’t benefit the enemy, and neither side would act rashly.

Spring was a year in which everything came back to life. The people had to farm and the animals had to reproduce, so naturally, they had to miss out on this season. The reason for the war was exactly because of the money and food.

However, the words of the Prince meant that the barbarians planned to fight a protracted war, which meant that they didn’t care about these things anymore. Why was that? Shen Qi didn’t quite understand.

However, right now, everyone knew that Da Xia was not a weak and incompetent person. At the moment, he could be considered a powerful and wealthy country, and just relying on a few hundred thousand barbarians was not enough to make Da Xia surrender.

“No matter what their reason is, This King will make it so that they won’t be able to return!” The tone was bloodthirsty.

Shen Qi believed him, but she could not help but be worried, “If something abnormal happens, then there’s nothing to worry about, since they dared to do such a thing, they have their own reasons. You cannot be careless! ”

Prince Xian looked at her and smiled. “I know. I’ve already sent people to investigate. Imperial Concubine need not worry.”

Shen Qi nodded, tell me, when did her Royal Highness have the chance to fight in an unprepared war? She could see through all of this. As someone who had come out from the battlefield, how could she not see this? She was also worried.

On August 18th, King Duan accompanied Shen Qi back to his parents’ home. As the Minister of the Department of Public Relations, Shen Weiyuan naturally knew about the situation in the imperial court, and had been worried for Shen Qi ever since she heard that the Duke was going to the battlefield.

As a member of the Grand Xia, especially one of the most influential figures of the imperial court, he naturally knew that a battle was a kind of faith for both the soldiers and the citizens of Grand Xia. He was like a god that stood firm and unyielding, protecting the long-term prosperity of Grand Xia.

At this time, both hands were naturally in favor of King Xian’s coming to the battlefield. However, the matter of his youngest daughter, Minister Shen, being involved was somewhat complicated in his heart.

He believed that the prince would be able to lead the soldiers in a beautiful battle, but he also knew that swords and swords had no eyes. If there was a chance, what would the wangfei do?

As someone who had rushed to marry into the palace before the bride was old enough, it would only take a month for the King to enter the battlefield. If the prince had an imperial concubine, his whole life would be over.

Even if she could pass on a child to Prince Duanren, what about Princess Hua-Yang? Was he really going to keep watch like this at such a young age? How were they going to survive the hardships that followed?

Every time he thought about it, he could not help but feel sorry for this ill-fated little girl.

Thus, when he saw King Xian in the imperial court, he could not help but reveal a complicated expression. Then, Duke Xian thought that Shen Shang Shu was missing his daughter, so he returned to the residence to tell Shen Qi about this matter. Then, he brought her back to Shang Shu Manor the next day.

To be honest, Shen Qi didn’t want to go anywhere at this time. Other people looked at her as if she was a widowed woman when they found out that she was going to battle, which made her unhappy.

She felt that since her man was on the battlefield, she would be at home peacefully waiting for him to return. She didn’t want to see others put on airs, and she also didn’t want to hear others comfort and pity her.

She still had a long time with the Prince, and they would definitely be happy in the future. She did not need to listen to their comfort, and some people who saw her still laughed felt that she was just too heartless to not cry.

Why did she cry? Her man was a great hero who wanted to kill the enemy and defend his country. She only needed to wait for his triumphant return. Why was he so depressed?

He would come back, she was sure of it! Therefore, there was no need for her to feel useless sadness. Since she couldn’t stop him, then she would let him go to the battlefield in peace. She would guard his home and just wait for him to return!

They would have lunch before returning to the Palace. When Shen Qi told the others that Shen Shang Shu, Shen Jiazhen and the others that she was fine using her own actions, because she knew that they were truly worried about him, Shen Qi was still willing to tell them what she thought.

Time always passes too quickly, especially at times like these. You always want to make it slow down a bit. You, but in the blink of an eye, a day has passed. In a day, King Duan will set off.
