Jasmine stood by and was a little confused. "Miss, Steward Zhou no longer has his indenture, so why doesn't he leave? What's more, his son is still taking the imperial examination, so he can change his family in the future. Isn't that better?"

She smiled brightly, "You have always held the indenture, why don't you leave?"

Jasmine stamped her feet angrily, "Why are you the same as me? I grew up with the young lady, and there is no way I will leave her."

She smiled without saying anything. She was a person who knew how to be grateful. No matter what Butler Zhou wanted, as long as he didn't cause her trouble, he was a trustworthy person and she didn't mind currying favor with him.

The next thing she knew, she saw Ping Wan dancing with a sword beside her. She had been silent recently. Could it be that she wanted to join the battle in this attack on the Northern Kingdom?

I have to tell her the truth.

"Ping Wan, come here for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."

Ping Wan stopped what she was doing, looked at the Crown Princess, and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Crown Princess, what do you want me to do for you?"

Meng Zhenzhen wanted to ask tentatively, but felt it would be better to just say it directly, "Do you want to go to the front line to kill the enemy and avenge your family? I've seen you exercising frequently recently."

Ping Wan's eyes suddenly brightened, and she knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, "Crown Princess, how do you know that I am..."

Although she did not make it clear which country she was from at the beginning, when she looked at the princess of the Northern Kingdom, she could not control the murderous intent in her eyes, so only the Northern Kingdom was the most suitable.

Ping Wan knelt on the ground and refused to get up, her eyes full of tears. "Crown Princess, please let me go to the battlefield. The emperor was so incompetent that he killed 120 people in my family. I will never forget this hatred. Going to the battlefield may be my last chance."

She sighed, thinking that her family members were affected by the butterfly effect caused by the change of emperor, and she was probably an unlucky person.

"I will ask the prince to arrange for you to go in, but remember to be safe. No matter whether you can get revenge or not, you must come back safely, and you still have to look after my child."

Ping Wan smiled with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I will try my best to come back safely, and I will also bring gifts for the young master."

At the beginning of November, the court was crowded with people. This was considered a large gathering. All civil and military officials came to the court. Today it would be announced who would lead the troops to the battle.

Qi Xingming stood to the side and shouted, "The emperor has something to announce today. All officials please be quiet."

Three whip sounds were heard outside, and the formal court meeting began.

The emperor picked up the military token in his hand, and everyone thought he was going to give it to the prince, but he unexpectedly handed it to the regent. Once the regent had second thoughts, the palace would be in danger.

All officials were against this. After all, there had never been a regent in history who controlled the military. This was to suppress his power for fear that he might have second thoughts.

The emperor looked at the round below and raised his hand. "My dear ministers, there is no need to say more. I know what is going on."

He took out the military token and placed it in the regent's hand, "Since I dare to hand over the military token, it proves that I believe in my brother's character.

If my brother had been thinking about the throne, he would have taken it away at the beginning, and he would not have waited until he was as old as the crown prince."

The Regent stared at the figure of his royal brother in a daze. He had been idle for several years, so why was it his turn again?

"Your Majesty, I haven't been to the front line for several years. I'm already rusty. It would be more appropriate to send younger people."

The emperor sat back on the throne. He understood the situation in his heart, but it was difficult for a young man to handle such a big responsibility, so he needed someone to keep the peace.

"General Qin Lanzhi and Junior General Dong Wenmo will serve as the vanguard this time. As assistants to the commander-in-chief, they can handle matters concerning the military camp. Lord Helanshan will serve as the military advisor for this time."

This time, the military camp equipment is combined like this for the first time, which is truly unprecedented.

Many veteran generals were against it. How could a scholar be a military advisor? General Sima stood up and asked how could no one from their family be involved this time.

"Your Majesty, I beg the descendants of the Sima family to participate in this campaign and contribute to the Southern Kingdom."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, my dear minister. This time it's not just the North that's in chaos, the West and East also need people stationed there.

I am going to transfer a group of people over there, and let the others take turns to come back for the New Year. After all, some generals haven't been home for many years, and they don't even have any offspring left. I really feel bad about it."

General Sima didn't know what to say now, the emperor had already made all the arrangements.

I thought that this time the Sima family would be able to produce another young general, but I didn't expect that the old man Dong Weiran would get the upper hand, because he has a good granddaughter.

Zhang Yang from the Ministry of Revenue stepped forward and handed in a memorial, "Your Majesty, yesterday I received a message from a man who took me to collect all the military rations for the Northern Army's expedition, and the stored grain has not been touched at all.

Later I learned that this person was the Crown Princess's personal butler, and the details were all in the memorial."

The emperor unfolded the memorial, which clearly recorded the collection, quantity and weight of some food and clothing, which must have been prepared very early.

"Well, well, well, you are worthy of being the Crown Princess. Duke, you really have a good daughter. She really helped me solve a big problem."

Meng Feizhi had an unhappy expression on her face. She was pregnant, so why was she still busy? It turned out that any status was earned through hard work, and there was no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

"I am terrified. This is all due to my father-in-law's good education. However, my daughter is seven months pregnant with triplets. Please don't disturb her."

The court officials were in an uproar, and the triplets were the saddest ones.

Dong Weiran's eyes widened. How come these were triplets instead of twins? "This old minister has something else to do. I need to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

The emperor had no choice but to wave his hand and agree. "Let's arrange this. The army will set out in three days."

After the court session, the Emperor, the Imperial Preceptor, and the Duke hurried to the Prince's Mansion, sneaking along the way as if they were going to steal.

The Imperial Master looked at these two men, one a father and the other a father-in-law, and wondered why they were not steady at all. He didn't want to say that they were his students.

The prince looked at the three people standing in the yard, his scalp tingling, "Imperial Master, Father-in-law, Father, why are you here? There are no guards with you. What if something happens?"

The emperor pushed the prince away and asked, "Where is Zhenzhen? You had triplets, why didn't you tell us earlier? You kept it a secret from us and made it so hard for us."

The prince was stunned. "No, Imperial Doctor Jin just said it yesterday. We just found out about it, and Imperial Doctor Jin should have told mother. How come you don't know, father?"

The emperor couldn't say that he was driven to the Qinzheng Palace by the empress to sleep, which was too embarrassing, so he quickly deceived her and said, "We want to see Zhenzhen, where is she?"

A pregnant woman came out of the room and said, "Father, Dad, Grandfather, why are the three of you here together?"

"Jasmine, serve the tea quickly."

The three of them were more than 200 years old in total. Staring at her belly, the emperor was very surprised. "There are really three grandchildren in here. This is so rare. This is the first time in the South Country!"

Dong Weiran stroked his beard and said, "This is my great-grandson."

Only Meng Feizhi had a worried look on his face. He walked to the side of the prince and said, "Is Zhenzhen really okay? I feel very tired and panicked, even more so than her mother's."

The prince's worry, which had just been put at ease, was raised again. He grabbed his father-in-law and said, "Father-in-law, do you think Zhenzhen will be in danger?"

Meng Feizhi's hand hurt so much that he wanted to hit someone, but since he was the prince, he put his hand down and pulled his claws apart. They were really strong.

"Zhenzhen's health has always been like this, so she will be fine. But you need to be more careful later on, after all, there are too many bad guys out there."

The group had a peaceful meal, just watching Meng Zhenzhen eat. They were all very happy, and there was a sense of accomplishment that made her scalp tingle.

“Father, Grandfather, Dad, don’t worry, I will be fine.

I have already discussed this with Doctor Jin. If the birth is difficult, there will be ways to assist the birth. Believe me, I will definitely give birth to them. I need to prepare a few more red envelopes."

She acted as if she didn't care and asked the emperor to increase the reward by 20%. Now she was a truly wealthy woman and could even support the army of a country. It wasn't easy.
