Inside the Imperial Study Room

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe." Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying saluted very politely.

The emperor's cheerful voice came, "Get up, get up, no need to be so polite. The emperor's sister is here too, she must be worried about the two girls."

The princess looked at the two girls standing beside her lovingly, "Yes, this is Yuan's first time to see the emperor, and I'm afraid she will be nervous and make mistakes."

"Will Jiang girl be nervous?"

Jiang Yuan lowered her head, and Qu Ying beside her poked her with a finger.

Looking at the little movements of the two girls, the eldest princess frowned slightly and smiled at the emperor helplessly.

"Okay, you two behave yourself. I'll go pick up Shu'er." After the princess said this, she said goodbye to the emperor and left the imperial study.

As soon as the princess left, the emperor, who had been sitting upright, relaxed, "Oh, I can't control my nervousness when I see my sister.

You two, come on, sit down."

Qu Ying pulled Jiang Yuan to a stool nearby and sat them down. The emperor called to the eunuch beside him, "Go, get some of the new yogurt from the palace for the two girls to try."

"I heard that you two emptied your pockets when you went south to provide disaster relief this time?" The emperor's desk was filled with memorials. Jiang Yuan had just seen the top one, and the handwriting was Jiang Huai's.

Qu Ying pursed her lips, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and replied, "Uncle, yes, it was mainly A Yuan's money. My mother didn't give me much money when I went out."

The emperor laughed loudly, "Jiang girl is the heir of Yun's Incense. She spent all her money while earning it in the south. She has been busy for a long time and now she has lost everything. Doesn't she feel wronged?"

Jiang Yuan stood up, bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I am not wronged. Money is just a worldly possession. If it is gone, I can earn it again."

"Yes, the manner of speaking is worthy of the heir of Yun's incense. Sit down, just sit down and answer."

The eunuch brought in sour cheese and placed it in front of the two. The emperor said, "Try it. I don't like it, but the concubines in the harem like it. I think you girls will like it too."

It tastes similar to yogurt, but is more sour. It is not as smooth as modern yogurt and has a bit of astringency. However, Jiang Yuan is still very happy to be able to taste the familiar taste.

Qu Ying likes it very much, it tastes sour and sweet.

"I asked you two to come here because of course there is a reward. This time when we went south, Lingling opened a porridge shop. She was not afraid of hard work and cooked porridge herself. When the grain for disaster relief was robbed, she calmly commanded and purchased grain for emergency response, and the people praised her highly.

I asked Lord Qu what kind of reward I would like to give you, and Lord Qu said that you can decide for yourself.

As for your mother, um, sister, I won't ask, I'll just listen to you."

Jiang Yuan understood that the emperor not only respected the eldest princess, but was also a little afraid of her. She must have grown up under the beating of her elder sister. The shadow was a lifelong shadow. The deterrent power of her elder sister should not be underestimated.

After talking about Qu Ying, the emperor turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiang girl, you helped to quell the rebellion in Dongshan County, donated silver to the flood relief, and served as a training officer in the garrison camp for a few days. Haha, you are too busy, girl.

What reward do you want? Tell me and I will listen."

Qu Ying was still struggling. The only rewards she could think of were some gold, silver and jewelry. There were female generals in this dynasty, but no female officials, and she didn't want to be an official.

Like Jiang Yuan, if she asked for a free marriage, her parents would probably skin her alive when she returned.

While thinking hard, Jiang Yuan stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, I want to join the military camp."

Qu Ying was not surprised by this decision at all. After all, her father had already considered Jiang Yuan as a member of the Qu family army.

The emperor was not surprised. He knew everything that had happened during this period. A girl with such skills had gone to the garrison camp as a training officer, and the effect was very good.

He guessed what the girl was thinking.

The emperor asked with interest, "Okay, which one do you want to go to? The Qu Family Army with Lord Qu, or the defense of the capital, or, I heard that you have a good relationship with Xie Yunxiao, he is currently in the Flying Tiger Camp."

Jiang Yuan replied, "Your servant, I want to go to Huqiu Camp."

These words shocked the emperor and Qu Ying. Qu Ying naturally understood what Jiang Yuan meant.

The emperor didn't understand at first. She was a noble lady from the capital and had no acquaintances in Huqiu Camp, so why did she specifically ask to go there?

In comparison, the Flying Tiger Battalion or the Black Cavalry Guards are more suitable for her. If she wants to be promoted smoothly, following Lord Qu is the best choice.

After thinking for a moment, and seeing that there was no tension, excitement, or even expectation on Jiang Yuan's face, but instead a hint of hatred, the emperor suddenly understood.

After a moment of silence, the emperor spoke, "Jiang Yuan, the daughter of Jiangzhou."

Jiang Yuan knelt down to receive the order, "Your servant is here."

"From today on, you will be appointed as the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion. You will take up the position on a certain day."

Jiang Yuan looked up, and Qu Ying urged him quietly, "Ah Yuan, thank you."

He gritted his teeth and bowed his head again, "Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you."

The emperor winked at Qu Ying, and Qu Ying pulled Jiang Yuan up from the ground.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's gloomy face, the emperor finally sighed, "Girl, you are still young, and the court is complicated and intricate.

Whether I praise your father or let you go to the Flying Tiger Camp, it is all for you and your sister.

I have read Jiang Huai's memorial. If he can complete this task brilliantly, his future career will be limitless.

You are quite skilled. If you can make great achievements in the army and become a female general in the future, don’t act impulsively.”

"I understand."

The emperor stood up and walked out from behind the table. Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying also stood up at the same time.

Walking up to the two of them, the Emperor said, "Although there are female generals in our dynasty, it has been many years since my sister went to war, and most people today have complaints about female generals.

Before Qu Jin became a female general, although she was protected by Qu Hou, she also made a lot of efforts to truly win the hearts of the people in the army.

Putting you next to Xie Yunxiao can also help to withstand some difficulties.

However, to truly gain a foothold, you have to rely on yourself.

In a few days, we will go hunting in the autumn mountains, so that I can have a good look at your abilities."

Jiang Yuan bowed and saluted, "Yes, I will not let the emperor down."

Qu Ying was quite ruthless and asked for a lot of things in a row. In the end, the emperor's face changed, but he had already said it, and it was not easy to go back on his word in front of the two little girls, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

After leaving the imperial study and arriving at the palace gate, the eldest princess was waiting beside the carriage with Qu Ran.

Qu Ran trotted into their arms, speaking sweetly.

The eldest princess stared in amazement at the series of palace servants following behind her, holding the emperor's collections in their hands.

He was secretly delighted, thinking, it worked, his girl was actually smart. Now it was the emperor's turn to be unable to sleep at night because of the heartache.
