In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Bianliao won the battle against Chu Qingguo without any surprises.
However, this further fueled the conflict between the two countries.
Yelyu Lie spent more and more time at the military camp.
Of course, the Queen’s two sons frequently faced military law punishments.
It’s not that Yelyu Lie maliciously used military regulations, as he never jokes about military matters.
Those two incompetent guys were simply too worrisome.
They neither understood the hardship of the soldiers nor why they ate chaff and drank thin gruel every day. Having grown up in the Royal Palace without experiencing any storms, they held a misconception about Bianliao.
They believed their country to be powerful and prosperous, and as generals treated soldiers this way, and the soldiers willingly endured the grind, they constantly opposed Yelyu Lie, even bullying soldiers who did not dare to fight back.
They thought that even though they were sent to the military camp, they were Princes, and no one would dare do anything to them.
Not even the Barbarian General dared.
But they miscalculated. In the camp, there were only Generals and soldiers, no Princes, and the ones who suffered greatly were only themselves.
Yelyu Lie came home every day and told his little wife about these matters.
Yun Chunnuan loved listening to them, and even wanted to see the camp herself.
But she had her own matters to attend to, and was really too busy.
In mid-March, the weather gradually warmed up, and the people of Sha Hai Country who joined Bianliao’s household registration worked together to build large tiled houses on the grassland outside the city, much better than the living conditions on Lower Street.
This place was also more suitable for children to play and for the elderly to bask in the sun.
The only concern was the occasional appearance of wild beasts.
After learning about this, Yelyu Lie assigned the task to Jifeng.
After that, the safety issue was secured.
The people of Sha Hai Country, having gathered together after fleeing, were more united than those who had not gone through any trials.
The Little Princess’s promises to them were being fulfilled one by one, and while the people of Sha Hai Country were happy, they were also more filled with anticipation for the future.
With Lian Qiao’s orders, more than sixty young and strong men and women who could work started cultivating the fertile grasslands.
Yun Chunnuan had earlier chosen a plot of empty land at the General Mansion, and at the beginning of the month tried planting vegetables using greenhouse technology, and they had already begun to sprout.
These vegetables were the first grown without using Blood Beads, and Yun Chunnuan felt proud.
Potatoes were especially suitable for early spring planting. Since the planting method was correct, they received news from Lian Qiao saying the grassland had been cleared.
Yun Chunnuan personally delivered the pre-sprouted potato chunks and a big bag of plant ash to the grassland outside the city.
Afraid that the people couldn’t learn from her instructions, Yun Chunnuan personally demonstrated the entire process.
Lian Qiao was the first to learn, and eagerly went to teach others after mastering it.
Fearing mistakes, Yun Chunnuan supervised until the evening, only preparing to go home when no further errors occurred.
Working on the ground was the most exhausting, and Yun Chunnuan, with her small frame, was so tired she couldn’t stand straight after a whole day of work.
Lian Qiao had been living in the newly built house on the grassland for over a month, and upon seeing the Little Princess so tired, insisted on carrying her back.
Yun Chunnuan naturally refused; Lian Qiao had also worked all day, and she was also a delicate girl—why should she carry anyone?
Refusing Lian Qiao meant feeling sorry for the Little Princess, yet Qiao’er, who was unable to offer help, insisted on carrying or holding her.
This made Yun Chunnuan feel overwhelmed.
Treating others as servants was something she hadn’t learned in the few months since coming here, naturally refusing.
But Qiao’er was stubborn and wouldn’t let her walk home.
Either carry her or go back to the mansion to call for a carriage.
Yun Chunnuan didn’t want either, knowing she would have to do more ground work in the future, she decided to take a carriage next time.
It was just once—no need to be so pretentious.
Fortunately, amidst their ongoing dispute, her hero arrived riding a colorful cloud...
Ah no! Riding a black stallion appeared on the grassland.
The Mighty General of Bianliao terrified the people of Sha Hai Country. Upon seeing him, they immediately knelt down in unison.
Yelyu Lie ignored them, seeing the little delicate one covered in dirt, with her face all dirty, he was full of heartache.
He dismounted immediately, regardless of the onlookers, as if he hadn’t seen her for centuries, he pulled her into his arms.
