A concubine to be married dressed as a prince

After the little eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, everyone present, except Chu Chengji and Jiang Yanqing, froze in place, and couldn't help casting disbelieving eyes on Jiang Yanqing.

"The general is overjoyed." The little eunuch smiled and handed over the imperial decree to Chu Chengji.

Chu Chengji knew the content of the imperial decree a long time ago, and said calmly: "The war will put the people in dire straits, so why not?"

The little eunuch was taken aback, and slapped himself moderately, "Oh, look at this slave's mouth, it really can't speak, it should be slapped."

Jiang Yanqing was taken aback when he said to hit him, "Elder-in-law, don't do this."

He touched Chu Chengji with his elbow, and Chu Chengji understood, and said: "You don't need to be like this, father-in-law, let's sit down and have a sip of tea."

The little eunuch smiled and said: "Thank you, my lord, for not blaming me. The servant is just thirsty, so I won't refuse."

A soldier brought tea, and the little eunuch drank it in one gulp, "I made the prince laugh, the slave just went to the palace, and the prince and princess were not there, and the servant said that he was in the barracks, so the servant rushed here to read the imperial decree. The quasi-family members are the first in the world, and I dare not delay for a moment."

Jiang Yanqing understood, it turned out that the little eunuch congratulated Chu Chengji for this reason.It's a pity that although it looks cool to follow the army, it is actually very dangerous.He watched a wonderful riding and shooting competition just now, and now the excitement is over, and a huge sense of gap follows.

Others are either good at riding and archery, or good at martial arts, but he is probably good at eating and drinking, and there is nothing else.If it weren't for the danger of staying in Shengyang City, he would have obediently listened to Chu Chengji's words and stayed in the palace to wait for his triumphant return.

The biggest difficulty facing me now is that I can't ride a horse.He couldn't let Chu Chengji lead him on two horses all the way, and he couldn't run behind with the infantry, could he?

It seems that if he wants to survive here, he still has a lot of skills to develop.

Chu Chengji said a few words to the little eunuch, and after sending him away, he saw Jiang Yanqing's frowning expression.

Before he could say what he was concerned about, Han Nian, the oldest of the deputy generals, was the first to speak: "Unexpectedly, the emperor will go to the army with the concubine. Although the general is not on the list, the general also wants to ask for the other brothers. I don't know what the princess is good at as the young master of the Houfu?"

Jiang Yanqing couldn't answer, so he looked at Chu Chengji.

Chu Chengji looked at Deputy General Qiu, "Qiu Shi, do you have the same question?"

Qiu Shi had seen two people getting along, so he didn't dare to say anything, he quickly lowered his head and cupped his fists and said, "There will be no general."

Chu Chengji said: "Since there aren't any, let's all go out."

Qiu Shi said yes, and hurriedly dragged Han Nian out.

After leaving the camp, Qiu Shi asked Han Nian in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, why are you asking that?"

Han Nian's face was gloomy, "Why did the lord marry him, and what was his reputation before, you pretend I don't know? Even if it doesn't matter, what can he do as a young master of a family with no strength to restrain a chicken, what can he do? Is it the prince's hind legs?"

Qiu Shi glanced at Han Nian sympathetically.

Han Nian said, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not your fault that you haven't married a daughter-in-law." Qiu Shi shook his head, "Didn't the emperor and the general stay together when you were with the general? I never thought that you would still be uncomfortable with this kind of thing. "

"Who is the emperor, you are comparing the emperor with that kind of person?" Han Nian said angrily.

"What kind of person?" Qiu Shi frowned, "What kind of person is the princess that the prince is marrying?"

"I made a slip of the tongue." Han Nian gave in reluctantly, and then said: "But the emperor knows how to ride and shoot to be kind, so what will the princess do?"

Qiu Shi didn't know if Jiang Yanqing knew how to ride and shoot, but he was a kind hearted person. Thinking of the reputation of carrying vegetables in the palace, one day Jiang Yanqing would be good at it.

Qiu Shi gave Han Nian a white look, "You are not the prince's deputy general, what are you bothering about? What will the princess do, what does it matter to you?"

Han Nian sneered, "I hope your trip will not be delayed, and the emperor and the general will have to work harder."

Qiu Shi didn't like to hear this, and said angrily, "It was the emperor who asked the concubine to accompany the army, are you questioning the holy will?"

Han Nian couldn't refute, so he walked away angrily.

The two people in the camp didn't know about the quarrel outside, Chu Chengji put aside the imperial decree in his hand, and said to Jiang Yanqing, "Don't worry."

Jiang Yanqing rubbed his face, "It's so obvious? I'm not worried, anyway, there are you, right? I mainly... Hey, just think about it as if I'm free and have nothing to do. Go and do your work, I'll go home, Bring the silver to the boy."

Chu Chengji nodded, "Ask someone to prepare a car to take you back."

Jiang Yanqing came here triumphantly on a tall horse, but returned disappointed in the carriage.Chuxue had received the letter a long time ago, and was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. Seeing that he was not in a good mood, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and only put the prepared luggage and money on the carriage for him.

"Princess, aren't you coming back tonight?" Chuxue asked.

Seeing the reluctance on Chuxue's face, Jiang Yanqing felt a sense of parting for an instant.He touched the little girl who had been following him since he came to this world like a big brother, "Well, I won't come back, and I will go to war tomorrow morning. Take good care of yourself in the palace by yourself."

Chuxue's eyes were red, "Princess, you have to take good care of yourself, servant girl is waiting for your safe return."

"Why are you crying?" Jiang Yanqing smiled and said, "If I come back without arms and legs, you still don't recognize me?"

"Bah bah," Chuxue was anxious, stomping her feet and spat: "How can the princess say that, it's unlucky!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Jiang Yanqing took out a few silver ingots from his body, put them in Chuxue's hands, and whispered: "If people in the palace bully you, you can sneak out by yourself, find an inn, or go to another place. Play somewhere, and when I come back, I will vent my anger on you."

Chuxue hastily declined, "The servant does not want money, the servant is waiting for the princess to come back at the palace."

"Keep it fast, just in case you need it. If you don't need it, just return it to me when I get back." Jiang Yanqing persuaded her a few times before Chuxue took the money and looked at it reluctantly. Then he got into the carriage and drove away.

Everyone in the big camp was also busy packing their things, and all the rest of today's training was cancelled.

After Jiang Yanqing and Chu Chengji ate some rough food together, they asked someone to find Li Changyong.

Li Changyong had already taken off his armor and changed into a suit of normal clothes. The thin figure of the boy looked even younger.

Jiang Yanqing looked enviously, if only he was still this young, maybe Chu Chengji couldn't help but push him on the bed long ago.

Sighing in his heart, but smiling on the surface, Jiang Yanqing gave Li Changyong a heavy bag of money, "If you can be so outstanding at such a young age, you will definitely be successful in the future."

Li Changyong knelt down, "Thank you, Princess."

"Get up quickly," Jiang Yanqing helped him up without waiting for his knees to touch the ground, "From now on, you don't have to kneel back and forth in front of me. I'm older than you, so I'll just call you Chang Yong."

"Okay." The smile on Li Changyong's face was undisguised, his big dark eyes looked at Jiang Yanqing's face, and he rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly, "Princess, you look like Changyong's sister."

Um?Jiang Yanqing's face froze.I treat you as a brother, but you treat me as a sister?

Li Changyong smiled frankly, "You are prettier than my sister."

All right, for the sake of begging him for a while, Jiang Yanqing received this compliment and asked casually, "Is your sister married already?"

Seeing Li Changyong's eyes dimmed, Jiang Yanqing didn't know.Sure enough, Li Changyong shook his head and said, "My sister died a long time ago. During the war a few years ago, my sister was shot by a stray arrow and died."

Jiang Yanqing wanted to pat his head, but unfortunately Li Changyong was taller than him, so he had to give up.

"So you want to be a soldier and avenge your sister?" Jiang Yanqing asked.

Li Changyong still shook his head, "The emperor has already avenged me. When Taifu Chang was beheaded, I went to see it. I am the only male in the family. I came to serve as a soldier because I want to be famous like the prince and bring glory to the family."

"No wonder you are so good at riding and shooting. You must have practiced hard in secret, right?" Jiang Yanqing saw that he was so ambitious, and felt embarrassed after being praised for such a sentence. He felt that this young man with a true temperament was really interesting, " Will you teach me then?"

"What can I, what can I teach the princess?" Li Changyong grabbed the hem of his clothes with his hands, "The princess wants to learn riding and archery, so she can ask the prince to teach her. The prince's riding and shooting skills are unmatched by any of us."

Seeing the admiration in Li Changyong's eyes, Jiang Yanqing felt a strange sense of pride in his heart. Such an excellent Prince Chu, even forged his armor and dagger with his own hands.

"But he is very busy, I don't want to disturb him now. Changyong, do you have something to do now, can you teach me?" Jiang Yanqing lowered his eyes and landed on the money bag in Li Changyong's hand.

Li Changyong subconsciously followed Jiang Yanqing's gaze and lowered his head. When he saw the heavy bag of reward money in his hand, he couldn't utter the words of refusal.

"Okay, but you have to choose a horse first, princess. The horses in the shooting range are all ordinary war horses. There are many good horses in the prince's stable. Do you want to ask the prince for a horse?"

"No need." Jiang Yanqing thought, ordinary good horses are fierce, he doesn't know anything about riding a horse, and he might not be able to control it.Go and ask Chu Chengji for a good horse to practice riding and archery. If he can't practice well, it will make Chu Chengji think he is useless, and it may embarrass him. "Just use ordinary horses, let's go quietly, let's go now."

Li Changyong had no choice but to lead Jiang Yanqing away.

Jiang Yanqing listened to Li Changyong's suggestion and chose a mild-mannered bay red horse.Li Changyong helped him lead the horse, and he learned the basics of getting on and off the horse.

But maybe Jiang Yanqing really didn't have the talent in riding a horse, he was finally able to get on the horse with stiff hands and feet, but he couldn't let the bay red horse take a step forward no matter what.

He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and even pulled the mane, but the bay red horse didn't move at all.

Li Changyong had no choice but to hold the reins, and the bay red horse followed him.He let go of the rein, and the bay red horse remained motionless.

The two tossed all afternoon, making no progress.

It wasn't until Chu Chengji finished his work that he remembered that he hadn't seen Jiang Yanqing for a long time.After he asked the soldiers, he came towards the shooting range, and what he saw from a distance was Li Changyong slowly leading the horse, while Jiang Yanqing was sitting on the horse, grasping the mane and leaning over, as if talking to Li Changyong.

The setting sun cast an ambiguous halo on the figures of the two people.

Chu Chengji's face suddenly sank.
