The Grand Consort knew what the Princess was worried about and what she lacked. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before saying slowly:

"The troops at Nanting Marquisate can provide support of this number." The eldest son-in-law stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Fifty." The princess curled her lips. "What can fifty people do? Are they enough for the imperial guards to charge in?"

"No." The eldest son-in-law blushed and felt annoyed. He felt that the eldest princess was looking down on him and the Nanting Marquisate.

"How much is that? Five thousand?" the princess asked again, feeling a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

The eldest son-in-law couldn't help rolling his eyes. What the hell five thousand is. If the Nanting Marquis's Mansion could gather five thousand soldiers, what would the eldest princess have to do?

"Five hundred, all veterans who have fought with Nanting Marquisate in battles all over the country."

"What?" The princess was shocked. "That's really not young. Your Nanting Marquis Mansion hasn't led an army for more than 30 years."

The Grand Prince Consort: Did people say that?

Although what the princess said was true, it was so hurtful.

"Can they still raise their weapons?" the princess asked again, her eyes sincere yet doubtful.

The eldest prince consort's face turned green with anger. He felt that the eldest princess was playing tricks on his self-esteem.

"Those people are not very old. They are in their prime. They are all descendants of veterans."

Oh, the princess breathed a sigh of relief. She understood after this explanation. It’s just that the descendants of the old soldiers are also the people of Yan State.

Don’t the descendants of those veterans have to join the army?

How did you become a member of Nanting Marquis Mansion?

The eldest princess had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask. She knew that asking would hurt feelings, so it was better to use it without knowing it.

Just having five hundred people doesn't mean anything. Five hundred people are definitely not enough to take over the country.

The most important thing is the lack of weapons. How can we fight without weapons? Are we going to fight with our fists?

What’s the difference between that and committing suicide?

After Yunmeng finished her meal, she took Mobao for a walk in the yard to digest the food.

Before I even walked from the backyard to the front yard, I received an invitation from the Queen Mother.

Looking at the invitation sent by the palace maid, Yun Meng was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What kind of banquet is the Queen Mother inviting us to? A family banquet or a flower viewing banquet?"

“The Empress Dowager is hosting a flower-viewing banquet, and the noble ladies of the capital and the young masters of various mansions will attend.

It's just that the Queen Mother missed the prince so much that she summoned you to attend the banquet with him."

Yunmeng didn't comment after hearing this. There was no love between the Queen Mother and Mo Bao, and she missed him very much.

If he really missed her badly, I haven't seen the Queen Mother give any treasures to Mo Bao. He can't just think about her with his mouth.

"Princess Qi, please bring the prince to the palace on time."

Facing the reminder from the palace maid, Yunmeng nodded. The post had already been sent, so how could she disobey the order?

The Empress Dowager's order is also an order.

After the palace servants left, Yun Meng held Mo Bao's hand and asked, "Mo Bao, what do you think of this banquet?"

"Mother, there is no good banquet. Mother, please pay attention to your safety. I am afraid that the capital is not peaceful anymore."

"Oh, why does Mobao have such an opinion?" Yunmeng became interested. This was not something a three-year-old baby could say.

Yunmeng didn't believe that a three-year-old baby could see the changes in the situation in the capital. Yunmeng was in the situation herself, so she could see so many tricks.

This capital city is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

"Because there were too many soldiers on the street, I encountered eight waves of soldiers on the way back from the Rui Palace."

Mo Bao stretched out his little hand and made a figure of eight, his expression a little exaggerated, "Mother, don't you think the frequency of soldiers appearing is too high?"

"If Mobao thinks it's high, then it's high." Yunmeng gave a thumbs up, "But aren't soldiers supposed to track down thieves?"

"Mother, when soldiers are chasing thieves, they must have a shadow of the thieves. I see that those soldiers are interrogating strong men.

It doesn't look like they are tracking down thieves, but more like... " Mo Bao looked around, then leaned close to Yun Meng's ear and whispered:

"It's more like checking the household registration of those who are capable of fighting."

Oh, Yunmeng raised her eyebrows, the little guy is really smart, it’s just checking the household registration, it would be fine if it was the household registration in the capital.

If the household registration is from outside, there is a lot that can be done and there are also many clues to trace.

The Emperor is forcing the King of Wei to take action. Even if the King of Wei does not take action tonight, the Emperor will take the initiative to take action.

It seems that the cuckold incident really irritated Emperor Yong'an, and he could not tolerate King Wei for a moment.

"Princess, are we going to the palace tonight?" Chunzhi asked worriedly, "As for safety, it is still the safest in our Prince Qi's Mansion."

"Go, what can we do if we don't go? What if we are accused of being rebels?"

Yunmeng blinked her eyes and thought to herself, how can she watch the excitement in the mansion? All the officials and their families have entered the palace, so it will be quite lively.

It would be a pity for the birds if they didn't go.

Chunzhi thought it made sense and immediately said, "Then I'll go pack my things."

"Well, just pack a few things. You don't have to accompany me to the palace tonight."

Ah? Chunzhi's eyes turned red, "Princess, you don't want me anymore?"

Yunmeng was amused by Chunzhi's reaction, "What are you thinking? It's not that I don't want you anymore, but it's not safe in the palace.

If things get chaotic, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you, so I can just let An Shisan dress up as a maid and accompany you."

Yunmeng tapped Chunzhi's head.

"You, stay in the mansion and don't let me worry. Just like you said, our Qi Wang Mansion is safer than the Imperial Palace."

"But." Chunzhi became even more worried. She wanted to stay with the princess to protect her and the prince.

"No buts, your fighting ability is too weak, and you will be a drag if you stay with me. I have to take care of Mo Bao at that time.

I don't have more energy to protect you." Yunmeng interrupted Chunzhi's next words, "That's it."

Chunzhi puffed up her cheeks. Just because she has weak fighting ability, can't she follow the princess on adventures?

What should she do? The Yun family is not a family of military commanders, and few of their servants know martial arts. They can't distance themselves from the princess because of this.

No, if the princess can transform from a young lady into a martial arts master, then she can do it too.

Chunzhi puffed her cheeks and said, "Princess, Chunzhi wants to take a medicinal bath. Chunzhi wants to make herself stronger."

"Sure, but taking a medicinal bath will be very painful. Can you bear it?" Yunmeng asked. She did not object to Chunzhi becoming stronger.

Moreover, only when a woman becomes strong can she be relied upon by herself. How many others can she rely on?

"Chunzhi is not afraid of pain." Chunzhi looked at Mobao. If a child as young as Mobao could bear it, so could she.

"Don't be afraid, then ask the housekeeper to arrange it. If you really can't bear it, don't force yourself."

Yunmeng looked at Chunzhi with tolerance. She was a loyal servant of the original owner. Even if her strength declined, Yunmeng would support her for the rest of her life.

Because of the banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager, all the prefectures in the capital became busy.

Even if you are unwilling to enter the palace, you have to prepare to do so now, because this is not a simple banquet, it is about standing in line.

Why don't you go to the palace today? What do you want to do? Are you from the lineage of the King of Wei? Are you...

In short, one big hat after another is put down, and even a good person can be crushed to death.
