Early the next morning, the father and son of the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion set out on the expedition.

At that time, the sky was not yet clear, and the neat military column walked out of the capital, joined the army stationed in the suburbs of Beijing in advance, and headed to the northwest together.

The eldest princess didn't go to send Bai Yan.

The army marching is an extremely solemn event, and with her as a woman, it seems that the love of children has lost morale, so she only stays at home.

Her heart hangs, and Mrs. Shizi's heart also hangs.

Before leaving, Mrs. Shizi specially instructed Shizi not to be rash, to be cautious and cautious in case of trouble, not to fight in person, and not to let Bai Yan be a striker......

Shizi replied vaguely, and Mrs. Shizi knew in her heart that he would not listen to herself.

There are so many aspects to fighting a war, sometimes decisions are made that are involuntary, and the battlefield is ever-changing, who can guarantee that the situation will be the same as expected?

The prince can't guarantee it, and Bai Yan can't guarantee it.

Rao is like this, and Mrs. Shizi still often advises the eldest princess, "Don't worry, don't be afraid." They are the main generals, and they are strategizing in the big tent of the border city in the rear, and they are not going to kill the enemy in person, so there will be no accidents. If you take 10,000 steps back, you really can't beat those barbarians in Jungger, so it's not too late for them to withdraw as soon as possible and then find a way! ”

"That being said."

The eldest princess said: "I'm afraid that my father-in-law and husband are not such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and when the time comes, they will ...... for the soldiers and the people."

She didn't say any more, and if she continued to say more, it would only add to her worries.

Thinking that she is just saying goodbye to her husband, and Mrs. Shizi is even more miserable than her, she is saying goodbye to her husband and her beloved son at the same time!

Princess Celestia in turn comforted her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." Although I can't stop them from going out for my own selfish interests, if the situation is not good at that time, I go to the palace and ask the imperial brother to send more troops to support, and the imperial brother will definitely agree! ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Shizi's expression was also a lot relieved.

The eldest princess is right, now the country is peaceful and peaceful, the soldiers are strong, and the troops are sufficient.

Even if they really can't defeat those barbarians in Jungar, the crowd tactics can overwhelm them.

Mrs. Shizi held her hand with satisfaction, "With you, the Jiangcheng army has received enough preferential treatment for this expedition." I heard that before the expedition, the emperor personally inquired about the grain, grass, weapons, and armor, and asked the military department to use everything closely in the Jiangcheng army. On the day of the expedition, the emperor personally sent Gonggong Ji to see him off, if it weren't for the fact that you married Yan'er, how could the emperor treat us so well? ”

"You're mistaken."

The eldest princess was a little shy, "This is the royal brother who loves the courtiers and the soldiers, and it has nothing to do with me." Now I just hope that there will be two more rains in the northwest this year, and that there will be no more drought, so that they will not suffer......"

……

Since Bai Yan set out on the expedition, Su Youyi has come to the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion every once in a while to greet her.

Previously, it was speculated that the eldest princess went to the Imperial Garden to beg her to stop Bai Yan's father and son from going on the expedition, but later saw that the Imperial Garden and the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion were not moving, so they realized that the eldest princess did not ask at all.

Even so, it doesn't mean that Su Youyi doesn't owe anything to the eldest princess in her heart.

Every time she sent someone to the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion, she would ask people to send some snacks and cloth jewelry, and by the way, she would invite the eldest princess to live in the imperial garden.

The eldest princess refused twice, and understood Su Youyi's intentions in her heart.

"Aunt Chunjing, please tell your mother, and say that I have received her heart."

Chunjing was ordered to send a reward to the eldest princess, and when Su Youyi asked her to go to the imperial garden to stay, the eldest princess took her hand and went into the inner room and whispered.

"The queen mother is worried that I will be alone here, so she frequently invites me to live in the Imperial Garden, isn't it?"

Chunjing nodded, "The Queen Mother often says that the eldest princess is her intimate little padded jacket, and sure enough, whatever the Queen Mother thinks, the eldest princess can guess." ”

The eldest princess sighed slightly, "I know that the queen mother treats me well, but at this time, I can't leave the Hou Mansion anymore." Auntie thinks, if I leave, won't my mother-in-law be even more lonely? ”

In addition to the old marquis and his wife, there are only two of them left in the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion.

If the two of them usually miss Shizi and Bai Yan, they can still get together and talk while doing needlework, which can also relieve the melancholy in their hearts.

If the eldest princess is gone, Mrs. Shizi really has no one to talk to.

You can't let her go to the old marquis and the old lady to talk, right?

The two old men are already old, and they are also thinking about their sons and grandchildren, how can Mrs. Shizi bear to go to them to mention sad words again?

Chunjing was clear about the situation in the Hou Mansion, but after thinking about it, he understood what the eldest princess meant, and immediately nodded: "Actually, the Queen Mother also took this into account, so she didn't directly send a decree to let you go to the Imperial Garden, but just sent people to inquire many times." Since the eldest princess thinks so, this is a good thing, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family will be more harmonious in the future. The slave and maid go back and tell the Queen Mother what you said, and the Queen Mother will be happy about it. ”

Princess Celestia smiled when she heard this, and suddenly remembered something, and spoke in a lower voice.

"By the way, Aunt Chunjing, I heard that you and Aunt Chunhua are going to get married? I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. ”

Chunjing's face turned red when she heard this, and she was very embarrassed, "Who told the eldest princess this like this?" We are a little bit of a slave, how dare the princess ask? ”

"Marriage is a big thing, how can it be a small thing?"

The eldest princess smiled quietly: "Besides, this matter has long been spread in the imperial garden, and I can hear it without other people's mouths." I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the Imperial Garden these days, so I'd better prepare your congratulatory gifts in advance, so as not to miss your wedding date. ”

After saying that, he shouted outside, and the maid walked in, "Go and bring the two pairs of ice flower jade hairpins I picked out from the treasury a few days ago." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the maid came in with two delicate brocade boxes, and the eldest princess opened the two boxes and showed them to Chunhua one by one.

"Look, it's a pair of blue ice flower jade."

Looking at the spring scene, the two hairpins are almost identical, and the whole body is carved out of jadeite, and the style is very simple and generous.

The only difference is that the floating patterns in the two hairpins have their own merits, and they are equally vivid and ethereal.

So transparent, it's the best jadeite.

Chunjing didn't dare to accept such a big gift, and was about to excuse herself, when she saw that the eldest princess took another brocade box.

In this brocade box is also a pair of ice flower jade hairpins, the same style as the pair of Fang Cai, the only difference is that this pair is not blue, but violet.

The gaze of the spring scene became more and more amazing.

Purple is noble, and rare in jadeite, this pair of hairpins is better than the pair.

The eldest princess smiled quietly: "One pair of these two pairs of hairpins is for you, and the other pair is for Aunt Chunhua." ”
