Chapter 719: Female Superior Imperial Princess Cannon Fodder (13)
In the following days, Luo Ning climbed the wall to visit the Lu Family mansion every day.
At the beginning, when they hugged and kissed, Lu Xun would shyly struggle a bit.
Eventually, he beca entirely engrossed in Luo Ning’s kisses and tenderness, and they did everything except the final step.
That day, after getting intimate, Lu Xun almost got eaten by Luo Ning.
But she held herself back.
Both of them panting, they separated. Lu Xun dressed himself and nudged Luo Ning with his foot.
“Why didn’t you completely take ?”
Luo Ning buried her head in his shoulder, her fingers twined in his dark hair, “I couldn’t bear to.”
“When we get married, I’ll consu you bit by bit.” These cheesy words now ca naturally to her.
Lu Xun wrapped his arms around her. “Alright, then you wait for to co back.”
Luo Ning asked, “Should I accompany you?”
She knew that Grand Dowager Lu was leading the Lu Family people to the border for battle tomorrow.
Lu Xun shook his head. “No need, I can manage by myself.”
“Just obediently wait in the Capital City for my return.”
He huffed, half-threateningly, “The condition is, you’re not allowed to provoke other n, otherwise I’ll kill you.”
Luo Ning chuckled, “Rest assured, you’re the only one for .”
She added, “Fine, you go fight at the front, I’ll make sure to keep the ho front secure, ensuring that no one causes any delay with supplies or dicines.”
Lu Xun was willing to trust her. “Good, I leave my ho front in your hands.”
Luo Ning said, “Just don’t keep fighting at the border for years—I’m still in the Capital City waiting to marry you.”
Lu Xun pondered, “Within three years, I will definitely return.”
He was confident in that.
Luo Ning kissed him passionately again. “My dear little Lu Xun, you’re the best, I’ll be waiting!”
Lu Xun scolded her playfully, “Of course!”
The next day, Luo Ning rode to the outskirts to see him off.
Grand Dowager Lu and a group were also on horseback, following the Lu Family Army out of the city.
Lu Xun’s eyes brightened when he saw Luo Ning coming to see him off.
“Father, I will go talk to her for a mont and co back.”
Grand Dowager Lu, who had noticed his son’s unusual behavior these past few days, ultimately chose to let it be.
Who knew what would happen on the battlefield, or whether he would co back alive.
It was fine for his son, who had never been married, to experience love first.
“Go, but don’t take too long.”
Lu Xun nodded, turned his horse, and rode towards Luo Ning.
When they t, Luo Ning did not tease Lu Xun in public again.
She handed him a bundle she’d prepared. “There are dicines here with different effects. I’ve labeled the uses and directions.”
Swords and blades were blind, and of course, she couldn’t bear for her dear Lu Xun to be injured.
Lu Xun took the bundle, his handso face breaking into a full smile, “Understood.”
“Then I’ll wait for you.” Luo Ning reached out and squeezed his hand.
Lu Xun nodded, “Yes, wait for !”
All other sentints were expressed in their deeply exchanged looks.
Lu Xun turned his horse and rode away, rejoining the Lu Family Army.
Luo Ning watched until Lu Xun’s silhouette had disappeared before she rode back to the city.
This scene was witnessed by many, and rumors soon spread throughout the Capital City.
The Fifth Princess, having grown tired of Younger Young Master Gong, was now said to have transferred her affections to Younger Young Master Lu.
From their manner, they seed to have a quite close relationship.
Even the betting houses opened a book, wagering on how long the Fifth Princess’s affection for Younger Young Master Lu would last.
Luo Ning had soone place a bet for her—on a lifeti, which left the Empress and the Imperial Grand Dowager both amused and exasperated.
They weren’t sure how long Luo Ning would last this ti.
However, if she were to marry Younger Young Master Lu of the Lu Family, their acceptance would be high.
With the contrast provided by Gong Ruogu, they felt Lu Xun was simply wonderful.
On the other side, at the Third Imperial Princess Mansion.
Gong Ruogu, having been carried into the mansion, sat in the garden feeding the fish.
He heard two waiters nearby saying that the Fifth Princess personally ran to see off the Younger Young Master Lu and had even prepared a bundle for him, appearing truly sincere.
Gong Ruogu’s hands stiffened and his lips curled with mockery.
That damned woman, sincere? He didn’t believe it.
Thinking of the fact that he had been at the Third Imperial Princess Mansion for several days now, the only visitor that had appeared was the Third Princess, who had also turned colder than before.
Afterward, she no longer stepped into his courtyard.
He crushed the fish food in his hand and threw it into the water.
Truly, won’s mouths are deceivers, none of them are any good.
In the following days, Luo Ning went to the Ministry of Industry for work every day.
She often sarcastically suggested so innovative ideas for amusent.
Then she would drag the Ministry of Industry staff to implent them, leaving the Minister of Industry and others speechless.
However, they were also wary of Prince Yi and did not want the Imperial Princess ddling and seizing power in the Ministry of Industry.
Now, watching her cause chaos, but without disrupting the entire Ministry, they allowed her so leeway.
But soon, they discovered that the Fifth Princess truly had a knack for this.
To enjoy smoother rides, she complained about the uneven roads troubling her comfort.
Thus, after two months of trial and error, she developed cent.
The roads in Capital City were all replaced with cent, making it much smoother for both carriages and pedestrians.
Because she wanted more comfort in carriages, she led people to develop rubber and rubber tires.
News ca that the Lu Family Army had a great victory at the border, but Lu Xun had sustained so injuries.
Thus, the Fifth Princess took the Ministry of Industry staff to modify and research weapons.
Under the guise of not allowing “her man” to be injured, she insisted on full armant.
Everyone had been waiting to see her fail, but to their surprise, the Fifth Princess actually succeeded.
She improved bows, spears, and crossbows significantly in their lethality.
After modifying and researching new weapons, Luo Ning personally went to the Weapon Workshop of the Ministry of War to oversee production.
Any new weapons created were imdiately taken by her, waiting to be sent to the Lu Family Army.
That day, Luo Ning casually arrived at the Ministry of War again.
The Minister of War felt like going mad, “Prince Yi, if I rember correctly, you are supposed to be from the Ministry of Industry, right?”
Day in and day out, she oversaw the production, then swept away all the newly minted weapons, which was too much.
Luo Ning smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m from the Ministry of Industry.”
“That’s how our Ministry of Industry cooperates with your Ministry of War in weapon manufacturing, I’m just supervising.”
“Minister Tian doesn’t need to worry about ; just focus on your own tasks.”
Minister Tian: “…” She did want to focus on her own work, but with this one always here, she couldn’t feel at ease!
Luo Ning took Minister Tian’s seat and even had soone prepare good tea for herself.
Seeing her as if she were in her own ho, Minister Tian felt uncomfortable and frustrated.
Before she could say anything, Luo Ning took the tea prepared by the maid and casually asked, “I heard that the Third Princess has taken a position in the Ministry of War?”
Minister Tian replied with a forced smile, “Yes, it was arranged by the Empress.”
She wanted to shoo away the Fifth Princess because she didn’t want to stir conflict between the two.
The Fifth Princess had not only damaged the Third Princess’s reputation but also reduced her importance in the eyes of the Empress.
Minister Tian’s son was married to the Third Princess, so she had long sided with her.
Luo Ning lightly laughed and said, “That’s wonderful, I haven’t had tea with the Third Princess for a long ti. When she arrives, I’ll have a good drink with her and chat about life.”
Minister Tian: “…” You’re here to drink tea, indeed.
And she was certain that the Third Princess would not want to discuss life with the Fifth Princess.
As they were speaking, a maid ca to report that the Third Princess had arrived.
Minister Tian was just about to instruct her to wait in another room for her arrival.
But Luo Ning spoke first, “Have the Third Imperial Princess co here.”
Minister Tian: “…” Who exactly is the Chief of Staff here?
