Because of Qiao Linxi's cheat, Daiyue has no shortage of food and grass. It's just that after so many years of drought, it's only been a year since normal planting resumed, and the food and grass produced by the entire Daiyue country is not much. It can support two or three months. If it lasts for a long time, I'm afraid it will run out of food.

Therefore, the emperor gave a death order to the general in charge of this battle, requiring the war to be ended within three months and the three Dongling counties occupied by Dongyue to be recovered.

The snow outside the tent was getting heavier and heavier, almost burying my calves. My movements were greatly restricted, and I really couldn't fight this battle.

Inside the tent, Qiao Linxi was wrapped up like a polar bear and surrounded by several maids and female guards.

"Princess, this pot is so delicious," Holly stuffed two little meatballs into his mouth, which was bulging and as cute as a little squirrel.

This time, Qiao Linxi only brought a maid with her to escort the army. The emperor took into consideration that she was a woman and it would be inconvenient for her to accompany the army, so he assigned her several female guards.

At this moment, several girls were sitting around the steaming pot with hot tea in their hands, eating happily.

Qiao Linxi rubbed his face and said, "That's not the case. Look at me, my face has gotten bigger."

As soon as she finished speaking, she received several resentful looks.

Dongqing and several female guards all stared at her.

"Princess..." Dong Qing rubbed her face and pinched her waist: "Just stop standing there like an idiot..."

"Versailles..." a female guard next to her reminded Dongqing.

"Yes, Versailles. Look at me, my clothes are much tighter. Look at Sister Wei and Sister Li, they are all a lot fatter. You are the only one who is still so thin, how are you fat?"

Dong Qing also looked at Qiao Linxi with resentment. She was puzzled. They all ate hot pot and drank sweet tea, but they all gained weight. Qiao Linxi was the only one who looked the same.

She obviously eats a lot, so why isn't she gaining weight?

"Princess, your physique of being able to eat a lot without gaining weight is really enviable."

Guard Li Ziyu's tone was slightly cold.

She was originally a female guard in the palace, but was assigned to Qiao Linxi by the emperor. She was not happy about it at first.

It was a snowy day, and it was hard enough to be with the army, and I had to serve a young lady. She was a guard, not a maid.

But on the way from the capital to here, Princess Dingguo didn't have much to do, and she wasn't pretentious. Except for Dong Qing running to the fire room to get her hot water in the early morning, she didn't need anyone else to do anything else.

Moreover, she did not eat with the soldiers, but ate all kinds of food they had never seen before in her own carriage.

She also has quilts and clothes that are extremely warm and light.

Along the way, she and several other female guards also got that kind of clothes and ate things they had never eaten before.

They eat well and dress warmly. It feels like they are not here to fight, but rather to travel and enjoy the scenery.

"Really? But I think my face is a little swollen, and I've gained weight around my waist."

"Oh my princess, you eat and sleep all day, how can you not gain some weight?"

"Hehe..." Qiao Linxi rubbed his belly a little embarrassedly. If he only ate and didn't exercise, he would gain weight.

Because Qiao Linxi was in charge of the army's food and fodder, she was the key protected person in the army. Her tent was in the middle of several commanders' tents, next to the tent used for meetings.

The commander had a reason for this arrangement. Firstly, they were the only women in the army, and the army was full of men. He was afraid that some people would have dirty thoughts and bully Qiao Linxi and the others. Their tents were set up in the center of the military camp to prevent those ignorant soldiers from harassing them.

Secondly, they also focused on protecting Qiao Linxi. They were afraid that people from Dongyue would assassinate Qiao Linxi.

If Qiao Linxi's tent was in the center, the killer would have to go through all the tents to kill her, which would not be easy.

They had only been stationed there for a few days, and these generals were suffering from the fragrance wafting from her tent every day.

If it weren't for the strict discipline in the army, they would have rushed in with their wine. There is nothing more comfortable than drinking hot wine and eating hot soup in the snow.

Although their food was not bad, it was just some porridge, side dishes and white flour buns. How could it compare with the hot, red and fragrant hot pot?

At this moment, in the commander-in-chief's tent, several main generals had just discussed how to launch the second wave of attack when their meals were delivered from the cooking room.

Today's meal is pretty good, two steamed buns per person, a plate of dried meat, and a bowl of vegetable soup.

In the past, this kind of meal was the best. In the past, eating a hot steamed bun during a military campaign was considered a great blessing.

Now when I smell that smell every day and then look at the food in my hand, I suddenly feel that the jerky is not fragrant anymore.

All the generals gathered around a table, staring at the steamed buns and vegetarian soup on the table and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, they all stared at Master Meng, who was sitting in a corner. This time, the three sons of the Meng family, along with Meng Qingliang, went to the battle. However, Meng Qingliang's rank was not high enough, so there was no commander.

Mr. Meng was originally staring at the steamed bun in his hand, lost in thought. After a moment, he felt a chill all over his body, as if several cold arrows were shooting at him.

When he looked up, he was met with seven or eight pairs of resentful eyes.

"Gurgle..." Master Meng swallowed his saliva, feeling particularly bad.

"you……"

"Hey... General Meng..."

Several main generals put down the steamed buns in their hands and gathered towards Master Meng.

"There's this kind of fragrance coming out of Princess Dingguo's tent next door every day. I don't know what those girls are doing."

"That's right, why don't you go and take a look at General Meng? You are Princess Dingguo's future father-in-law. It's only right that she gives you something good to show her filial piety, right?"

"You guys..." Master Meng's face looked a little grim. Of course, he also wanted to know what Qiao Linxi was eating, but could he bring himself to do that?

"Although my son has been granted marriage by Princess Dingguo, he can be said to be Princess Dingguo's future father-in-law. But does Princess Dingguo have to give me something as a filial gift? If she doesn't give me anything, is she unfilial?"

"No, no, that's not what we mean. Princess Dingguo's things are given to you out of kindness, and not giving them to you is her duty. It's not just because you have a close relationship with her, there must be some kindness between you and her."

Mr. Meng: "You want me, a future father-in-law, to ask for food from my future daughter-in-law?"

"General Meng, don't you want to know what the princess is eating? Don't you want to try it?"

Mr. Meng: Of course he wants to, but this...
