I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

The room is warm and comfortable, with low-key luxury.

"Madam, if there is anything that you don't like, you can rearrange it! If you need anything else, just tell the servants."

Shen Lianxin looked around and found everything they needed. The princess knew they were coming back and even prepared new clothes for them. "It's great here. There's nothing missing."

Qi Yue came in and bowed to Shen Lianxin, "Madam, the princess sent someone to urge us to have dinner in the front yard."

"Got it. We'll be there soon."

Gu Dingbei took Shen Lianxin to their first meal in the palace, which was very meaningful. "Lianxin, I am lucky to marry you!"

The sudden deep affection startled Shen Lianxin. She lowered her head and remained silent, with a hint of blush on her face.

Several children were laughing behind them. They felt so happy to see their parents so loving each other again.

When they arrived at the front yard, the old princess was extremely happy and looked at the children with fondness.

"It would be great if the prince were here!! I wonder if he is doing well in Dingzhou? Is he eating well? Is he wearing warm clothes?" The sudden worry affected everyone's mood, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while.

The old princess misses the prince so much that she recites sutras and prays for him every day, hoping that he will be safe.

"Mother, father will be fine. The Hu people have withdrawn their troops and the border is stable. I will leave tomorrow to help defend Dingzhou and bring father back."

Shen Lianxin felt empty inside. Gu Dingbei was leaving tomorrow, but he didn't tell her.

She glanced at Gu Dingbei, who held her hand. The unconcealable disappointment was poorly hidden under her smile.

The old princess looked at her son with heartache. The couple had been separated for many years, and now they had to separate again just after meeting each other.

The Zhenbei Palace is basically supported by Gu Dingbei. The prince is old, and no matter how brave he is, he cannot resist the ruthlessness of time.

Gu Dingbei supported the frontier alone. She felt sorry for her eldest son, who had been carrying heavy responsibilities since childhood. Most of the time, she had to move forward with a heavy burden and could not choose what she liked.

If it weren't for the experience of being injured and losing his memory, I'm afraid Gu Dingbei's marriage would have become a political marriage. Although Shen Lianxin is a village woman, at least it was her son's own choice. It can be seen that Gu Dingbei respects Shen Lianxin very much, and now, she is willing to accept it.

The old princess invited everyone to eat, "Come and try it. Do the dishes in the palace suit your taste?"

Shen Lianxin took two bites of the dish and was very surprised. The chef of the palace was indeed extraordinary. The food was different from the usual ones, and the taste was very special. Moreover, the presentation of the dish was very exquisite, with good color, fragrance and taste.

Concubine Liu smiled and said, "It's been a long time since the palace has had such good food. Today, the Crown Prince's wife and the young masters are back, and the princess is really happy!!"

Everyone spoke up to welcome them. Shen Lianxin understood from their words that although the palace looked glamorous, life was not easy there. Today's meal might be the standard for New Year meals in the palace.

It is understandable that the soldiers on the frontier were in great trouble, so the royal palace naturally helped them with all its strength. A million dollars of wealth is not as good as a war.

Sigh, everyone here is a family. They may scheme against each other on a daily basis, but when they really encounter difficulties, they still have to support each other.

"Dingbei, how long can the army's food and fodder last?"

Gu Dingbei pondered for a moment, "Originally, we could have held out for more than three months, and there would be no danger until the end of the year, but with the incorporation of 15 Ever-Victorious Army, the original 20-man army could only hold out for two months if they saved on food and fodder."

Shen Lianxin looked up, suspicious, "Incorporated the Ever-Victorious Army?"

Gu Dingbei nodded and briefly explained the process of incorporating the Ever-Victorious Army. Shen Lianxin immediately became alert when she heard it.

"Did you kill Zhou An?"

Gu Dingbei nodded solemnly. The old princess looked worried.

Shen Lianxin was ecstatic. Was it so exciting? He was indeed the man she liked!

Zhou An was so despicable that she wanted to use the power of the imperial court to frame the Zhenbei Army for the crime of losing the grain. When Shen Lianxin heard that Zhou An was so despicable, she was worried that the Zhenbei Army would be in trouble because of her robbing the grain.

Unexpectedly, Gu Dingbei's methods were fierce and his actions were decisive, which was very gratifying.

Shen Lianxin's lips curled up unconsciously into a smile.

"I'm afraid the imperial court won't let this go!"

"The imperial court has not issued an imperial decree yet. I'm afraid they are waiting for the border to be pacified."

Is it the death of the rabbit that makes the fox mourn? Will he wait until the Zhenbei Army quells the foreign rebellion before issuing an imperial decree to punish him? Shen Lianxin felt unfair, he was really a dog emperor.

"I have written to the court many times, requesting the payment of food and wages, but the court has been reluctant to reply. I am afraid it will be difficult! I am afraid it will be difficult to provide winter clothes for the soldiers this year."

The old princess frowned, "In recent years, there have been famines. The farm under my name has made little profit and lost a lot. What we can collect will be enough to cover our expenses. I still have a screen in my room, which was given to me by the empress dowager when I entered the palace in my early years. Sell it and see if I can buy a few cotton-padded clothes for my soldiers!"

Shen Lianxin was moved. It turned out that the palace was already in such a difficult situation. Looking at the food on the table, although there were not many varieties, it was really rich. It was obvious that the welcome for Shen Lianxin was thoughtful.

At this moment, news came from the door that someone from the palace had come to announce the decree.

A group of people went out to receive the order. It was a grand procession, and everyone in the palace knelt on the ground.

The person who came this time was a eunuch, who was said to be close to the emperor and had been very favored in recent years.

In the Zhenbei Palace, Gu Dingbei and others received the imperial decree: By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Today, the Zhenbei Army is brave and good at fighting, resisting foreign enemies, guarding the borders and defending the country. It is indeed the pillar of the court and the pillar of the country. The whole country is specially summoned to show honors. However, General Dingbei killed the general of the reinforcements sent by the court in front of the battle, and refused to obey the summons. He intended to rebel. I am thinking of the loyalty and bravery of the Zhenbei Palace, so I will not judge him. Merits and demerits cannot be offset! The Zhenbei King is ordered to report to the capital, bring his family, and his merits and demerits will be judged and rewards will be presented! This is the imperial decree!!

Gu Dingbei stood up to receive the order. His face was changing, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Thank you for your grace! Please report back, eunuch. The war on the border is brutal. My father has personally taken to the battlefield. He is worried about the country and the people and has fallen seriously ill. He is now resting at the border and has not returned to the palace. When he recovers, he will go to the capital to see the emperor!"

The father-in-law looked at him with contempt and snorted, "What a coincidence? You're sick? Take us to see a doctor!!!"

Gu Dingbei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Eunuch, you don't believe me? I am the current prince of Zhenbei Palace, and the emperor personally appointed me as General Dingbei. How dare you question me?"

The murderous atmosphere spread, and the eunuch was startled and took a few steps back, remembering the news from the palace that Gu Dingbei was a killing god who had killed countless people, and the soldier who had delivered the imperial edict almost became his victim.

"You, what are you doing? I am a member of the emperor's family! How dare you?"

"The Emperor also said that my merits and demerits are not equal. In the end, my merits are greater than my demerits? The Emperor didn't even say it. Do you know better than the Emperor? A small eunuch openly contradicted the general who guarded the country. I will clean up the mess for the Emperor and explain to him later!!"

Gu Dingbei came over with pressure, and Shen Lianxin could truly feel the vitality of this man.
