After The Breakup, I Became Popular In the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 719: The Queen’s Cannon Fodder (16)

General Hu, who originally asked the eldest princess to come to the Ministry of War with him and wanted to steal some weapons, died speechless.

Isn’t the eldest princess usually very smart?

Why are you being led by the Fifth Princess all the time?

She couldn't help but wonder, if it weren't for the fact that the fifth princess couldn't have children and had no desire to be emperor, and was so smart and favored by the empress, who would be able to compete for the position of princess in the future?

She couldn't let the eldest princess leave like this, "Your Highness, what should I do with the weapon?"

Only then did the eldest princess remember the business of coming to the Ministry of War today.

"Lao Wu, although you provide the materials for making weapons, you can't take them all."

"Give some of it to other armies."

Luo Ning didn't bother to pay attention to her, "My mother and the emperor agreed that I would supervise the making of weapons and send them to the Lu family army."

"If you are not convinced, just go directly to the Queen Mother."

The eldest princess's face darkened, "Lao Wu, if you do this, you will offend many people."

Luo Ning shrugged nonchalantly, "If you offend me, I'll offend you. I don't need their support. If I don't become the next empress, and I don't have much interaction with them, what can they do to me?"

She mocked again, "I'm not like you, the eldest princess, who likes to form cliques for personal gain. She is obviously a noble princess, but in order to win over the courtiers, I have to lower my body to cater to them. It's embarrassing."

The face of the eldest princess changed. "Lao Wu, please be careful what you say. We are not trying to win over the courtiers and form cliques for personal gain."

This old man is so annoying now. He throws dirty water when he opens his mouth, making it difficult for people to guard against him.

Luo Ning curled her lips and said, "You know in your heart whether you are trying to win over me or not. I'm too lazy to say more."

He looked disgusted again, "Aren't you still busy? Go quickly, why are you still here?"

The eldest princess's face was so angry that she almost twisted, "Okay, you can do it, Lao Wu."

"I just want to see how arrogant you can be."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "The third child said the same thing to me just now."

"Then let me tell you, as long as the Queen Mother is here for a day, I can be arrogant for a day, which you can't envy."

She just likes to see them envy, jealousy and hate her, but they look helpless to her.

The eldest princess: "..." It hurts my heart, this bastard's mouth is getting more and more vicious.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be pissed off by this royal sister.

The most annoying thing is that because of the favor and protection of the Queen Mother, they can't do anything to her if they can't get used to Lao Wu again.

"You are so self-aware." The eldest princess shook her sleeves and turned around to leave in frustration.

General Hu also noticed that the fifth prince was becoming more and more bold and wanton in his speech. The key person was very magnanimous, and there was nothing you could do against her.

She decided to stay away from this guy in the future. He was so eloquent that he would fall into a trap if he didn't stop talking.

The eldest princess was forced to donate food as a lesson, so she said hello and hurriedly left.

The eldest princess came into the palace and offered to donate food. The empress was surprised on the surface, but she was very calm in her heart.

As Luo Ning expected, she had already heard what Long Wei said in advance.

So he pretended to be pleased and praised the eldest princess, and accepted the eldest daughter's wishes.

But he didn't care in his heart. If it weren't for the fifth child, the eldest brother wouldn't be able to donate food.

So the credit still goes to my favorite daughter.

This is why the eldest princess didn't know what her own mother was thinking, otherwise she would have been so angry that she would have vomited blood on the spot.

This matter spread quickly, and several princesses were forced to donate food, and they all felt very resentful towards the eldest princess.

Even when they met, they couldn't hold back their sarcasm.

The eldest princess was extremely angry, but it couldn't be said that Luo Ning dug a hole for her and she was forced to jump to donate food.

Of course she wanted to have a good reputation after donating everything, so she had no choice but to accept it.

Who would have known that within two days, the conversation between her and Luo Ning in the weapons workshop would be spread almost intact.

Everyone also knows that this is how the eldest princess suddenly said that she wanted to donate food.

At the same time, I also secretly despised the fact that the eldest princess was so useless that she was led by a dandy prince.

The courtiers who had already supported or considered supporting the eldest princess could not help but wonder, was their choice the right one?

Some people even made a temporary decision to board other princesses' ships because of this matter.

When the eldest princess found out, she was so angry that her heart ached, and she scolded Luo Ning again and again.

What made the princesses even more angry was that Luo Ning encouraged the empress to send all the food they donated to the frontier to reward the Lu family army.

They are simply forced to support their enemies! Lao Wu is really getting worse and worse.

More than half a month passed, the border.

Lu Xun, who had led troops to win several battles, was now a major general due to his military merit.

When he first came, many women were dissatisfied, but now they had no choice but to accept it.

Lu Xun was not only good at martial arts, but also very strategic. Every time he planned a battle plan, he never failed.

At the same time, the most arrogant and trouble-making ruffians among the soldiers were directly defeated by him.

Plus the latest weapons that Luo Ning keeps sending.

Lu Xun also successfully gained a foothold in the army and became one of the principal officers.

On this day, in addition to the newly appointed commander-in-chief Lu Taijun, three other generals, four lieutenants and Lu Xun were also in the coach's tent.

"We are almost running out of food, but the Ministry of Revenue has been holding back on the grounds that the national treasury is tight. If this continues, it will affect the soldiers' operations."

How can you have the strength to fight if you don't have enough to eat?

Another general sighed, "The Ministry of Revenue has always liked to play tricks on us soldiers. It has become a habit not to allocate food and grass until the critical moment."

The person who spoke first snorted, "But now is the critical moment against the enemy. How can we fight if we don't have enough food and grass?"

"This doesn't happen once or twice. That old thief, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is not a good bird." She gritted her teeth and said.

Mrs. Lu said: "I'll have people rush back to the capital, and then go to the Ministry of Finance to urge them."

The current Minister of Household Affairs and the Lu family have never dealt with each other, so they often deduct military expenses and food from the Lu family.

But they have nothing to do with the other party. Every time the other party can find a bunch of reasons and accounts saying that the national treasury is tight and cannot be used.

Lu Xun was distracted after listening to their words.

He has already written to Luo Ning, and it will take a few days to receive it. He doesn't know if she can help solve the food problem.

At this moment, a young man came to report.

The young general was overjoyed and half-knelt down to report, "Commander, several generals, the team delivering food and grass to the Central Plains has arrived."

Several people present were shocked, "The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance didn't suppress him this time?"

This doesn’t look like the other party’s behavior!

Mrs. Lu stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

In any case, as long as food and grass arrive, it is good news.

If it was allocated by the Ministry of Hubu, then they would change their view of the Minister of Hubu.

But it always felt like it wasn’t dialed by the other party.

After a few people went out, the leader of the food delivery team also arrived.

She bowed her hands to several people and said, "I have met Marshal Lu and all the generals."
