Chapter 227: Mouth Twitching
Han Yiyi didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she only took one, the one that the system gave her the most points. This way, even if she returned to Ping'an Town, she wouldn't have to eat sweet potatoes every day. There was no other way, no matter how delicious something was, she couldn't bear to eat it every day.
Now Emperor Beichen also knew that Han Yiyi had such a treasure, so Han Yiyi no longer hid it in front of him and directly exchanged the thing with the system in front of him.
Seeing that thing suddenly disappear, Emperor Beichen's mouth twitched again.
In fact, it is impossible to say that Emperor Beichen has never thought about taking Han Yiyi's system for himself, but he is worried that Han Yiyi will take it away before he gets it. In addition, because of his relationship with Nangong Yuan, the God of War of Beichen, he dare not have any bad thoughts. Moreover, in his opinion, this thing is good, but it is too costly.
Han Yiyi exchanged the things and did not stay any longer, so he took his leave and left the imperial study.
After the others left, Emperor Beichen's eyes grew gloomy again. It was not for any other reason, but because spies had come to the border before and said that Dongli was trying to unite Nanjing and Beichao. Now Nanjing did not have to worry, but Beichao was a cause for concern.
At first, Nanjing would think of sending spies to investigate the situation in Beichen first, and Beichao was no exception. However, the place closer to Beichen from Nanjing was Zhushan Village, and Zhushan Village happened to grow sweet potatoes, so they managed to avoid trouble by accident. But Beichen was not so lucky.
The Northern Dynasty also sent spies over the mountains to Beichen, and what they saw was indeed what the Dongli envoy said, that these people were so poor that they had to eat wild vegetables every day to fill their stomachs. Therefore, the Northern Dynasty agreed to Dongli's proposal of an alliance so readily. However, before the two countries could form an alliance, it was destroyed by Nangong Yuan.
On this side, Emperor Beichen was still worried about whether Dongli and Beichao would form an alliance, when he received a letter from Nangong Yuan.
Seeing the letter, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but laugh out loud. In fact, there was nothing written on it. Nangong Yuan only said that he had successfully destroyed the alliance between Beichao and Dongli. No! The two countries had not yet formed an alliance. It should be considered that their attempted alliance had been destroyed.
As for Nanjing, Nangong Yuan also said that before he could stop him, Nanjing had killed the envoy from Dongli and even abandoned him at the border between the two countries. He did not know why. It was obvious that Nangong Yuan was still a little confused about this matter.
Since neither country is in alliance with it, Dongli alone is naturally nothing to be feared. Perhaps in order to prevent Dongli from doing anything weird these days, Emperor Beichen has no plans to call Nangong Yuan back to Kyoto for the time being.
However, in order to answer Nangong Yuan's doubts, Emperor Beichen told Nangong Yuan about Han Yiyi's sweet potato invention, Nanjing's intention to send the princess to marry because of the sweet potato incident, and the signing of a 100-year non-war agreement. At the end of the letter, he also told Nangong Yuan that he had issued an order forbidding Han Yiyi to marry within two years.
After receiving the letter, Nangong Yuan saw that Han Yiyi had once again saved the people of Beichen, and the light in his eyes became a little dim. However, when he saw that Emperor Beichen actually issued an order that she was not allowed to marry within two years, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, but then he curled his lips again.
Nangong Yuan naturally understood what Emperor Beichen meant. Perhaps after two years, when everything was settled, he could live the ordinary life she wanted with her.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yuan's gaze returned to the letter, to the four words "Princess Changning". It seemed that through these four words, he could see the person who was thousands of miles away and who made him miss her so much.
Now there is still half a year until the sweet potato planting season next year, and Han Yiyi is a little hesitant. Should she go back to Ping'an Town first, or wait until next year to exchange all the sweet potato seedlings that Emperor Beichen wants before going back.
After coming back this time, Han Yiyi felt that the two little guys had grown up a lot and had more homework than before. Zihui was still okay, but Zicheng, perhaps because he was obsessed with getting the top spot in the imperial examination, studied very hard. Sometimes, after playing with Han Yiyi for a while, he would take the initiative to go read a book.
Now Zicheng really wants to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Although he has the guidance of his teacher and Nangong Ling and his wife, the more important reason is because of Fan Ting.
Although Zicheng now knows that he and his sister are not Fan Ting’s biological children, his experience in the Fan family will never be forgotten.
In the past, he had no idea what the word "top scholar" that Fan Ting often mentioned meant, but now he finally understood it. Therefore, he wanted to pass the exam even more and wanted to fight for Han Yi's reputation.
Han Yiyi didn't know Zicheng's thoughts, but seeing that the child was so proactive and hardworking in studying, she naturally had no reason to stop him.
Originally, Han Yiyi was still hesitating whether to go back to Ping'an Town first or wait until after the New Year. After all, the two children no longer needed her. Of course, as the children grew older, they would naturally have their own lives. Han Yiyi understood, but she still felt a little lost. Therefore, she did not want to stay in the princess's mansion, like a waiting stone, looking forward to the two children coming to see her every day. So she decided to go back to Ping'an Town first, and come back in March next year when spring is warm and flowers are blooming.
Besides, Han Yiyi is afraid of the cold. She has a kang in her house in Ping'an Town, but there is no such thing in the princess's mansion.
However, an accident happened just after they left the palace, and Han Yiyi was forced to stay in Kyoto. Fortunately, when Han Yiyi came out this time, she personally took the mule to Aunt Zhang's house and asked her to help take care of it. Otherwise, when she went back next time, the mule would look at her like an abandoned young wife again.
It turned out that Han Yiyi saw that the weather was good today, so she wanted to walk back. Of course, she had taken a carriage all the way from Ping'an Town to Kyoto, and her butt was almost callused from sitting, so she really didn't want to ride again.
Nangong Ling and his wife rarely go out shopping with their two little ones on weekdays, so naturally they want to enjoy this warm moment, so they decide to walk back with Han Yiyi.
The flood has been over for a long time now, and the streets no longer look like they did before the flood. On the contrary, in order to exchange more money, there are more vendors selling things on the streets than before.
The few of them just looked around here and there, which was quite pleasant, especially Nangong Ling and his wife. They felt that everything sold by these vendors was really novel, and the two little ones' hands were already full of things.
