On the eighth day of the first month of March, after the emperor held the annual spring ploughing ceremony, he decided the day of the army to start Jialan, which will be on the third day of the next month. 【】

Jing Tingrui was appointed as the commander of the Northern Expedition at the same time at the ceremony, and won a black iron seal letter from the leader. There is a saying that the grace of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid. Jairwood is an example of overcoming all evil.

And the Jialan Kingdom is the old enemy of Dayan, and it must be eradicated!

Shang Shuling, the director of the Shaofu who was in charge of the production of weapons, took this opportunity to present a complete set of equipment, including bows, crossbows, knives, spears, generals' armor, shields, etc., a total of fifty pieces, and pulled a full four-horse cart.

The workmanship of each of these things is extremely exquisite, and the grip of the weapon is engraved with the ancient style of Jingzi, which makes people feel majestic when they look at it.

This is also something that everyone in the palace talks about.

Now, when he sees Jing Tingrui in the East Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs have to bow to the general, and even his father, Prince Jing, has to pay tribute when he sees him.

However, Jing Tingrui himself acted no different from before, and did not wear the fancy clothes provided by the Internal Affairs Office, but was still in the costume of a close guard, and waited strictly around the prince.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested, he went to deal with military affairs. Some people admired his infinite energy and said that he was terrible in the future.

As the date of the expedition approached day by day, the prince's mind became more and more uncertain, watching the palace maid secretly make some insect repellent sachets and give them to Jing Tingrui, he also wanted to make something.

I wanted to embroider a sachet with a big scene, but all ten fingers were pierced with blood beads, and I didn't even finish embroidering a horizontal, and the brocade cloth was also dirty, so annoyed that Aiqing used scissors to crush the fabric, saying that her hands were too stupid.

Angry, I have to prepare a gift, Yan felt sorry for Aiqing's finger, so he proposed that he could order the craftsman to make a good jade jade pendant, so that Jing Tingrui could take it with him to keep safe.

Aiqing listened to it and liked it very much, but she always felt that it was better for the craftsman to do it than to come by herself, and she was more attentive.

As long as you sent it, he should be happy to death, why bother to get it yourself, in case he hurts his hand again...... Yan was jealous and said on the side.

You don't know, how delicate and cute the things sent by the palace maids are, my craftsmanship is not comparable, only more than my heart. Ai Qing said while selecting the jade sent by the eunuch.

You are the crown prince, can you compare with the palace maid? However, those girls are really, women who have forgotten that they are the emperor? Even stuffing things for other men, he is not afraid of being punished. Yan complained.

The palace maid's sister is the emperor's person? This is the first time Aiqing has heard this.

Yes or no, anyway, the ancestors stipulated that. Yan was vague, not wanting Aiqing to know too much about this kind of men and women, so he approached to help pick jade, I think it's just this one, it's big enough.

In Yan's hand was a palm-sized piece of jadeite, green in color, flawless, and with a jewel-like luster.

Well, that's it! Speaking of which, Jing Tingrui is a tiger, so let's carve a little tiger! The tiger is mighty and will be able to destroy the enemy!

Aiqing was full of energy, he asked the master craftsmen of the silver bureau to guide him, first using knives and wire saws to cut, and then using sand and stone to finely polish, and the injured finger bled again. He gritted his teeth, took medicine, wrapped his fingers, and continued to do it, even the craftsman couldn't stand it, saying that he wanted to help the master carve, but he waved it back.

Aiqing was alone, and it took five days to carve the jade pendant, put on the rope, and it was completed.

Yan, come and take a look, what do you think? Aiqing took the proud work and showed it to Yan first.

This...... Hahaha! Unexpectedly, Yan burst into laughter as soon as he saw it, and he was still holding his stomach.

What are you doing! It's annoying! Ai Qing blushed, dragged the jade pendant and walked out, who knew that when he walked out of the silver bureau, he ran into Jing Tingrui, who came to find him.

Your Highness, what are you doing in the workshop these days? Six days ago, Jing Tingrui was ordered by the crown prince to train soldiers in the past few days, and he didn't have to accompany him.

However, Jing Tingrui still couldn't rest assured, and took advantage of the afternoon break to find the prince.

Aiqing's face turned even redder when she saw Jing Tingrui, and she hesitated for a long time, but she still decided to leave.

Nothing, I won't be here again. Aiqing turned her head and walked out of the courtyard.

Wait a minute. Jing Tingrui grabbed Aiqing's hand and grabbed it, what's wrong with your hand?

It hurts. Aiqing shouted, and the jade pendant he was holding in his other hand fell to the ground.

What is this? Jing Tingrui bent down to pick it up, Aiqing hurriedly stopped him, but he was small, and before he could catch it, he was picked up by Jing Tingrui.

You can't look at it, give it back to me! Aiqing was anxious, because Jing Tingrui carried it in the air, under the sun, and looked at it carefully.

The more Aiqing jumped and wanted to get the jade pendant back, the higher Jing Tingrui's arm was raised, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the jade pendant intently.

After that, he lowered his head, looked at Aiqing, who was red-faced, and asked gently, Your Highness, dare to ask if this is for a lowly position?

The back of the jade pendant is engraved with the word Rarity, which is a little rough and different shades, but it can still be seen.

I know that my craftsmanship is not as good as the craftsmen, and it is not as good as the sachet given to you by the palace maid, since this is the case, Aiqing will also let it go, turn her face sideways, look at the flowers and plants on the side, and mutter, but anyway, there are many jade materials, so I carved it, if you want it, just take it.

This little pig is cute...... I like it very much. Jing Tingrui smiled, bent down, and looked at Aiqing.

It's a tiger! It's not a pig! Aiqing argued, he finally understood what Yan was laughing at just now, the tiger's nose was carved bigger and rounder, it looked like a pig's nose, but it also had a king engraved on its forehead, is this a tiger?

Ah, it's a humble man! Jing Tingrui admitted his mistake, reached out to hold Aiqing's hand, and apologized vigorously, it was all bad for his position, and he also injured your hand.

It's good to know, well, but I'm going to punish you anyway. Aiqing raised her head and said.

Willing to accept the sin.

Just, I'll punish you for returning all those things! Aiqing said seriously.

Those things? Jing Tingrui was a little puzzled.

Even a few days ago, they gave you sachets, embroidered handkerchiefs or something, and it seems cumbersome for you to bring them to the battlefield, doesn't it? It's better to return the things to the original owner and return them to the palace maid's sister. Although Aiqing is not such a stingy person, she always feels uncomfortable when she thinks of Jing Tingrui carrying the things sent by the palace maid.

In addition, what Yan said about what palace maid is the emperor's woman also makes Aiqing care, he is worried that this matter may be unfavorable to Jing Tingrui and the palace maid's sister.

He never wanted to see anyone hurt again.

Oh, you mean that the little peaches, if they know about it, they will return it immediately. Jing Tingrui didn't want to accept their gifts, but he thought that after he left the palace, these people were the closest to the prince, so he took the opportunity to accept the gifts and told them to serve the prince well and pay more attention to everything.

And those sachets, he didn't bring them with him, but stuffed them all into the cupboard.

You don't have to do it right away, anyway, you can do it yourself. Aiqing nodded, and smiled happily when she saw Jing Tingrui tying the jade pendant to her belt.

Your Highness, can you make an agreement with the lowly position?

What the?

Before you come back from your humble duties, you must stay in the palace obediently and will not cause trouble.

Look at what you say, like how bad I am.

It is precisely because you are not bad that you are a little relieved. Aiqing's troubles are mostly out of good intentions, for example, this jade pendant, if the emperor knows that the craftsman let the prince do rough work, I am afraid that the craftsman will inevitably be punished.

I don't understand what you're saying. Aiqing shook her head, however, I will listen to my father and father, study hard, and take care of my younger brother and sister, so you can rest assured that you will go to war and return victoriously as soon as possible.

Be. Jing Tingrui knelt on one knee, reached out to hold Aiqing's hand, and cautiously dropped a kiss of oath on the back of his hand.

Rarity ....... Aiqing's whole face was red, even the roots of her ears seemed to be burning, exuding a wave of heat, Jing Tingrui's low-hanging eyelashes and straight nose bridge were so good-looking.

Presumably, the most powerful craftsman in the world can't carve such a handsome face.

And the soft lips, the feeling of lightly touching the back of the hand, are so hot. This feeling was deeply seared into Aiqing's soul, making his heart beat around Jing Tingrui all the time.

Even if he was gone, it was surprising - for three whole years, this warm mood has not been erased......
