Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife -
Chapter 461: Meeting
Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Meeting
She had only been busy with her own affairs in the harem, but in the recent months, there was an increasing number of "novel items" in the palace.
Later, she learned that Princess Yunhua had opened a hot pot building in her name outside of the palace, bringing in significant profits, and she became ambitious.
She was no longer willing to stay in the palace and sought every possible way to sneak out.
As Princess Yunhua was the legitimate daughter left by the late empress, receiving special favor from the sovereign, she could not comment much about it, until one day when Princess Yunhua brought back a new novelty to the palace.
Roller Skates.
Princess Yunhua was just 28 and had a slender figure. She looked especially energetic when she was playing with roller skates in the Imperial Garden.
That occasion caused quite a stir in the palace.
It’s then when she realized there was another transmigrator in the Xia country apart from herself.
At some point, a trend of applying jade skin lotion started among the concubines in the harem again.
One splash after another.
Lu Fengyun, a man praised by all in the court, and Su Tao, a woman coveted by all in the streets of Kyoto, have emerged.
The emperor’s health was deteriorating, and their agreement was ending.
She had no interest in watching what these youngsters intended to do in Kyoto. Rather, she was intensely curious about the person who had set up a biogas pool.
Transmigrators were pitifully few, and they would naturally think of themselves as the chosen ones.
They always imagined that they could achieve great feats in this different world, not knowing that this place had buried many of their kind.
Too many people wanted to show off their talents, and then forced things unsuitable for this world into it, whether it was power or money, it didn’t concern her any more.
"Se... Senior!"
It took Nanzhi a while to greet her.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her, her heart was definitely excited.
Shen Wenchen had told her that there was a noble person in the palace who had brought to this world potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, soybean oil...
That noble person was called Ming Qin.
The person who single-handedly fed half of Xia country’s citizens was now in front of her!
Looking at Nanzhi’s fan-girlish expression, Ming Qin felt an indescribably warmth in her heart.
She had been alone in this world for too long.
If it wasn’t for the appearance of that system, she wouldn’t be who she was now.
Thinking this, Ming Qin’s eyes dimmed a little.
She had to go find them...
Thinking back to the scenes when she left made Ming Qin’s heart ache with unspeakable sorrow.
Her Nana was still such a small girl then...
"Senior, what’s wrong with you?"
"I’m fine."
Ming Qin squeezed out a smile, shook her head, and then lowered her eyes to look at Nanzhi’s belly.
"How many months has it been?"
Her gaze was gentle, and her tone was also very soft.
Looking at Nanzhi’s bulging belly, it was as if she was looking at someone important.
"Almost five months."
"Congratulations."
Shen Wenchen was full of pride, gazing at Nanzhi as if he was protecting his treasure. It took him a while to remember the important business.
"Senior, I don’t know who you are looking for?"
"General Shen, do you know if Yan City has started to hunt down the mountain bandits?"
Shen Wenchen was taken aback, then shook his head.
Qing Fenghan was not considered as being hunted by him, but half recruited.
Ming Qin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said, "I’m going to Qing Fenghan to find someone."
Hearing her say this, Nanzhi and Shen Wenchen looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
"Senior, may I ask who you are looking for? We... we have some connections with Qing Fenghan, maybe we can ask for you."
Nanzhi organized her words before asking.
They did have a relationship, after all, she still had a goddaughter there.
"Do you know the people from Qing Fenghan?" Ming Qin was a bit surprised, her beautiful eyes slightly widened.
"Recognizes a few."
Shen Wenchen diplomatically stated.
After all, there were so many people in Qing Fenghan, and he couldn’t recognize them all.
Just like he knew that the dog of Wang Dage, the gatekeeper, was called Huzi, but he couldn’t remember the name of the dog that was always wandering at the end of the village.
"Well... do you know Chi Sheng?"
Ming Qin frowned slightly, a trace of confusion in her eyes.
She remembered that Qing Fenghan did not like to interact with outsiders. How could Shen Wenchen, a court official, know them?
"Know him."
Shen Wenchen nodded.
Ming Qin looked at him in surprise, then turned her head to look at Nanzhi.
"Then, do you know how he is doing now?"
After hesitating for a while, Shen Wenchen still told the truth: "The court intends to suppress the bandits, but they are not really bandits, so I have arranged for them to settle in a village outside the city.
Most of them have now registered as residents in Yan City."
As for those who had records before going to the mountain, he did not arrange for them to register, but had sent them to the military camp instead.
Currently, the military camp was short of manpower, and all villages outside the city needed people to guard them. Even within the city, more people were needed.
This was also one of the conditions he agreed to when allowing them to take up residency.
"So, could you take me to find them?"
Ming Qin’s voice trembled slightly, and the calm expression on her face had cracked.
It was then that Nanzhi seemed to recall why she felt that she was familiar.
A heavy snow fell last night, and the road outside the city was covered in a thick layer.
When the group finally arrived at the village, even the horses were panting heavily.
"The general is here! The general is here!"
The guard standing at the entrance of the village dropped his bow and arrow when he saw the face of the visitor.
"The general is here!"
"General, why are you here?"
The one in charge at the village entrance today was an eighteen-year-old youth. His face, which should have been immature, was now covered in frost.
"Just came to check on you all"
Shen Wenchen patted him on the shoulder, before asking again, "Where are the others in the village?"
"Aze and the others brought back some game yesterday, and they went up the mountain to hunt again early this morning. They said that since it snowed heavily last night, it should be easier to hunt today."
The guard chuckled, and then looked at the two others who had just got off the horse.
"Madame General, you are here too?"
"Today is New Year’s Eve. We brought some food for you."
Ming Qin, who had covered herself tightly leaving only her eyes to observe the village, was standing aside.
The party walked into the village, and those who had heard the news also came towards the entrance of the village.
Yuanbao was originally teaching Erniu how to shoot a slingshot. As soon as she heard that Shen Wenchen and Nanzhi were visiting, she immediately dropped Erniu who stood there dumbfounded.
"Erniu, you keep practicing, I’m going to find my mom!"
The little girl waved her hand and ran off quickly with her tiny legs.
"Er, slow down!"
Erniu scratched his head and responded.
"Mom! Mom!"
Yuanbao was wearing a red jacket today, with a rabbit fur neck warmer wrapped around her neck. From a distance, she looked like a little new year picture doll.
Ming Qin saw the little girl running towards them, her eyes wide open staring at her.
Only the warm tears couldn’t resist and silently fell down.
Her Nana, had already grown like this...
