Since Cheng Youping completed the scientific examination, she has returned to the princess's residence to live, waiting for selection from the staff.

That day, when I was about to go out to meet my classmates, I saw an eight-hundred-mile galloping army horse galloping down the street.

Cheng Youping frowned and turned back to the carriage, "Let's go back home."

The driver immediately turned the horse's head and rushed back to the house.

Cheng Youping ran to the study panting, "Princess, there may be a war."

Yiman put down the Tang newspaper with a solemn expression, "Northwest and Tugui are fighting."

Cheng Youping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the eldest princess had received the newspaper.After reacting, he was frightened again, "May I ask the eldest princess, what is your name?"

Yiman stood up and sighed, "Buy trade."

"Isn't the trade agreement agreed upon by both countries in advance?"

"A nobleman who suddenly returned went to the market to cause trouble. He should have been caught, but he died in our prison. This is just a reputation."

Cheng Youping looked at Yiman in disbelief, "Has Su Gui already had the intention of invading you?"

Yiman handed the Tang newspaper to Cheng Youping, "The worst thing is that we were not prepared at all. The Tan family troops stationed in the northwest were brave and good at fighting, but after all, they were not as well prepared as they were for the sudden return. At this time, we were at a disadvantage and were captured in Zuxian County. Surrounded."

Cheng Youping took the newspaper and read it carefully, "Princess, it said that the Jin family army in the north has gone to support."

Yiman stood in front of the window and shook his head slightly, "The Jin family's army totals 2, and they are stationed on the border to defend against the Shatuo Kingdom. Even if they send troops to support, they can send up to [-] troops, and they also have to defend against the Shatuo Kingdom."

"The Shatuo Kingdom is no more than a small country. It has been married to our Daling before, so it should be——"

Yiman turned around and looked at her, "Youping, at this time, if Shatuo Kingdom doesn't attack me, Daling, from both sides, the marriage is already effective. Don't place your hopes on others."

"Yes, what should we do now?"

With a worried look on his face, he looked into the distance, "If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. The emperor must be even more anxious now."

Lu Bo walked in quickly from outside, "Princess, there is a woman outside the door of the house, saying she is your old friend. She is hiding her face and has good skills. I have asked her, but I really can't tell her identity."

"Let people in."

"Yes."

Not long after, a tall woman wrapped in a black cloak walked into the study.

It was obvious that she wanted to hide her identity, but now that it was daytime, her appearance made her look even more eye-catching.

Yiman narrowed his eyes, glanced around her body, looked at her, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Lu Bo, I do know her. I'm going to guard her outside."

"Yes."

Yiman smiled, "Why did Lan Cairen think of me?"

Lan Cairen's eyes widened in surprise, and while untying his cloak and scarf, he asked doubtfully: "How did you know it was me?"

Yiman brought a cup of tea and handed it to her, "You are so tall and have heroic eyes. Most people who have seen you will not mistake you."

Lan Cairen sighed deeply and fell into silence.

Seeing that Lan Cai was in trouble, Yi Man sat next to her and looked at her.

"I actually"

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "You finally can't stay in the palace anymore and you want me to help you get out of the palace?"

Lan Cairen shook his head violently, stood up suddenly, and knelt down beside Yiman's legs.

Yiman quickly held her arm, "What are you doing?"

Lan Cairen was a straightforward woman who couldn't handle it. She frowned and said, "Actually, I know you had ulterior motives when you first contacted me. I helped you last time, shouldn't you also help me?"

Yiman nodded with a smile, "What do you want to say first?"

"My name is Jin."

Yiman slowly let go of her arm, his eyes becoming unpredictable.

Jin Jiajun’s gold?
It just so happened that I received the newspaper today, so she came.Seeing Yiman's smile gradually disappear, Lan Cairen quickly grabbed Yiman's arm with his backhand, "Don't think too much about it. I was a hostage from the beginning when I entered the palace. Your Majesty is worried that our Jin family alone holds military power in the north. , so they asked me to enter the palace, because I am the only daughter of the Jin family."

Yiman lowered his eyes and looked at her, "What is the relationship between your Jin family and Tan family?"

"They are considered in-laws. My cousin married into the Tan family. But that's not the point. The point is that the Tan family is surrounded now. The Jin family has to rush to rescue and guard. There will definitely not be enough soldiers and horses. Can the eldest princess help the Tan family?"

Yiman's eyes were filled with inquiry, "Although the Tan family is now surrounded, in addition to Zuxian and Luocheng, the situation is not out of control. Also, I just received the Tang report. How did you know the news and advance it in advance?" Out of the palace?"

Lan Cai looked away guiltily, fearing for suspicion, and quickly said, "The Jin family has independent messenger pigeons. So, I knew the latest battle situation yesterday."

Seeing Yiman's expression, Lan Cairen hurriedly explained, "You know I'm usually outspoken. I'm really desperate and want to ask you for help."

Yiman smiled slightly, "It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that it's hard for me to get involved in matters in the military. Besides, even if I can help, what's the benefit to me?"

The light in Lan Cairen's eyes slowly dissipated and he began to be wary, "I can't make the decision in the army. I think the eldest princess is different from the people in the palace."

"Even if it's different, there's no such thing as empty handed."

"But the eldest princess is Daling's princess."

Yiman stared at her with lowered eyes, "Is it what a princess should do to interfere in military affairs?"

Lan Cairen opened his mouth and stood up silently.

Yi Man glanced at it and asked, "Is the situation on the border more urgent than what is reported in the military report?"

"If the princess doesn't want to help, why bother asking?"

Yiman stood up and put the cloak on her body, "Who else do you know in the court? If you can't make the decision yourself, why not go and discuss it. Your surname is Jin, then the Minister of War, Jin Xiao, Lord Jin should be related to you, right?" "

"How does the eldest princess know?"

Seeing Lan Cairen, he quickly covered his mouth, smiled and shook his head slightly.

A surname is beneficial to the military. Isn't this the most simple thing?

"Lu Bo, find a carriage to send it out yourself."

"Yes."

Just as Lan Cairen hesitantly walked out, he saw Ji Lan walking in in a hurry.

"Princess, summoned by the palace."

Before arriving at Yanying Hall, I saw more eunuchs and guards coming and going, obviously because of the border war.

"Join Your Majesty."

After reading the memorial in his hand, the emperor slowly raised his head and asked, "Why hasn't the price of rice in Beijing returned to stability?"

Yiman lowered his head slightly, "Probably because Chunke's new policy has not yet been implemented in place."

"When will it arrive?"

"I am controlling the family."

The emperor responded casually, as if sighing, "Go down."

Seeing that the emperor was so calm and unconcerned, Yiman became confused.

When a war breaks out now, isn't it that what is needed most is food, grass and money?

The price of rice and the control of aristocratic families are the most urgent. Why is the emperor not anxious?Besides, money will be allocated to repair the Hezhou Weir this year.

According to the treasury budget, it should be difficult to fight this war. Where will the emperor get the money?

Yiman glanced at the emperor and quickly lowered his eyelashes, "Is Your Majesty worried about the sudden return and provocation?"

The emperor raised his eyes and asked, "What, you still want to get involved in military affairs?"

Yiman quickly handed over his hands and confessed, "I don't dare. I just saw His Majesty worried and wanted to share His Majesty's worries."

There was silence in the palace. Seeing that the emperor did not reply for a long time, he bowed and left the Yanying Palace.
