“That’s because I can accomplish more with you around,” Lan Ruozhu said with a gentle smile.

The siblings talked for a while more and discussed other things. After eating his fill, Lan Ruozhu said, “I’ll get someone to send this blueprint to the Weapon Refinement Department.”

“Brother, I think it’s better to hire the villagers to build the factory. Then, we can hire blacksmiths to forge the farming tools in the factory. They can take in apprentices and teach them how to forge, too.

“We can even forge weapons, but 1 should run the factory. If their skills improve, they can secretly forge weapons.”

Lan Ruozhu agreed with his sister, saying, “I’ll get Blue One to handle it.”

Blue one had been with Lan Ruozhu the whole time, and the latter had assigned Blue one a mission. Blue One had experience in management, so Lan Ruozhu trusted him to build the factory.

Su Binglan gave Blue One the factory’s blueprint. Next, he could hire the villagers to do the work.

Soon after, a guard reported that General Xingye had returned. Lan Ruozhu said smilingly, “Sister, he must be here for you.”

Su Binglan had brought Ji Xingye around these past two days, and he had learned a lot from her.

Lan Ruozhu added, “But he doesn’t know you’re Lan Ruobing.”

The princess had raised and taught Ji Xingye everything. Thus, he was also loyal to Lan Ruozhu.

Su Binglan shook her head and said, “Not many people know.”

Lan Ruozhu responded, “Only Blue One and I know.”

Su Binglan said, “He’s probably here about the task I had given him. Let him

”

Ji Xingye entered with dark circles under his eyes. Even so, he looked excited. “Greetings, Prince Ruozhu.”

“Stand, General Xingye,” Lan Ruozhu said, “Why are you here so early in the morning? I’ve never seen you so tired yet excited.”

Ji Xingye handed a stack of documents to Su Binglan, saying, “Here’s the information I sorted last night.”

Su Binglan looked at detailed documents containing information on the severely injured and soldiers who had died in battle. Her heart grew heavy as she read the words. She said, “Thank you for your hard work, General Xingye.”

“It was all for you, Princess. You’ve helped us a lot, so we should work hard for you in return. Those are the soldiers who have gotten severely injured and those who have sacrificed themselves in last year’s war.”

Su Binglan said, “I’ll visit a few families first to see the situation. I’ll get Su Yi and Su Chun to accompany me to a few houses.”

Ji Xingye volunteered, saying, “Princess, please allow me to come with you.”

Lan Ruozhu nodded and whispered to Su Binglan, “That’s good too. Binglan, not everyone knows your identity, so Xingye’s presence will give your words credibility.”

After some thought, Su Binglan agreed. If a general like Ji Xingye followed her, she would have had an easier time convincing people of her plans. Otherwise, the villagers would just think she was a liar.

“General Xingye, have you eaten breakfast?” Su Binglan asked.

Ji Xingye realized he was so excited that he had forgotten to have breakfast. He did not even rest much last night because he had been busy preparing the documents.

He wanted to complete the task the princess had given him as soon as possible. Ji Xingye was embarrassed to speak up, so he remained silent.

However, Su Binglan immediately understood his thoughts, saying, “Brother, could you get someone to get another bowl of wontons for General Xingye?”

Ji Xingye dared not eat at the deceased royal’s mansion, so he hurriedly waved and said, “N-No need, Princess. I’m not hungry.” Immediately after saying that, his stomach growled.

Croak!

Ji Xingye was so embarrassed that he wished to hide in a hole. Lan Ruozhu laughed and said, “It’s okay, General Xingye. You should feel at home here. Come, join us, and have something to eat. I remember eating together when we were young, don’t you?”

Ji Xingye was still a child back then and understood very little. He would only listen to whatever Lan Ruobing said.

The wontons Su Binglan brought were the frozen ones she had prepared before leaving for Dingzhou. She had placed them in her pocket dimension before bringing them over.

That morning, she simply fried them in a pot, which was convenient for her. Lan Ruozhu enjoyed his sister’s cooking so much that he could not stop smiling.

Ji Xingye thought the prince had an excellent smile. However, the latter rarely smiled when Su Binglan was not around. Hence, Ji Xingye knew how important Su Binglan was to the prince.

Still, Ji Xingye was puzzled because Lan Ruobing was just as important to the prince.

‘Since Princess Ruobing is no longer around, why would Prince Ruozhu adopt Miss Su as his younger sister?’

Ji Xingye’s mind was a mess, but he could not explain it. Soon after, one of the maids served a bowl of wontons to Ji Xingye. The food was still hot and emitted an enticing fragrance.

“Come and eat,” Lan Ruozhu said, “That’s an order, General Xingye.”

Since it was an order, Ji Xingye dared not disobey. He walked over and carefully sat down with Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu. However, Ji Xingye only sat on half of the chair, not daring to disrespect the siblings.

Indeed, Ji Xingye was hungry. He was stunned when he scooped the soup and ate a wonton.

‘l never knew this would be so delicious! I don’t know what the filling is, but it tastes excellent.’

Ji Xingye seemed to forget his manners and hoovered the food. Although the second wonton he ate had a different filling, it was equally delicious.

‘Whoa! It’s too delicious!’ He screamed inwardly.

He was always strict with himself and was grateful as long as he could eat his fill. Since he was never good at cooking, he would eat crudely. He was also frugal and disliked going to restaurants to eat. As a result, he did not eat much tasty foods.

Of course, he had eaten well in the deceased royal’s mansion when he followed Lan Ruobing. Nonetheless, the wontons were so flavorful that a tear almost rolled down his cheek.

Lan Ruozhu saw him eating so quickly, saying, “Take your time, General. There’s still more in the pot.”

He was generous toward his trusted subordinates. Although his sister had prepared the wontons for him, he was happy to see his subordinate eating with excitement.

Lan Ruozhu asked, “Does it taste good?”

Ji Xingye nodded frantically, saying, “It’s too delicious, Your Highness! The soup is so tasty, and the wonton fillings are different. I’ve never had anything like this..
