Chapter 136
"Huh?" Aiqing was stunned, her face suddenly turned crimson, and she said softly, "It's okay, and no one else is here." γγγ
"I'm glad you're willing to send me to the battlefield to sweep you away." Jing Tingrui said, his eyes are as gentle as the snow that melts in spring.
"Even if I don't let you go, you'll take the initiative to ask for it." Aiqing's heart was also melted by such a look, and she said casually.
"Yes, I've got a notebook ready." Jing Tingrui stepped forward and presented the neatly written fold in his arms with both hands.
Aiqing twisted her eyebrows, looked at the book, and muttered, "That's really the case......
"But I was really surprised." Jing Tingrui didn't mind that Aiqing didn't take the fold, but just put it on the side of a few cases, "I'm leaving, and you didn't even cry."
"What?" Aiqing's nose was hot, I don't know if it was because of shame, or because she was guessed in her thoughts, "I am the king of a country, I sent you out to fight, and you still have to cry?"
"Hehe, you've really grown up." Jing Tingrui stepped forward and stood in front of the throne, he had considered it before, maybe he would have a dispute with Aiqing for the sake of the expedition, but even if he made Aiqing angry, he had to fight
Not for anything else, just to sweep away the anxiety and gloom between Aiqing's eyebrows, even if it is worth dying.
However, Jing Tingrui will not be sent to death easily, he still wants to stay by Aiqing's side and protect him for a hundred years.
"Don't underestimate me." Aiqing got up, stood in front of Jing Tingrui, and raised her head, "You have to fight a big battle for me and come back."
Jing Tingrui reached out and put his arm around Aiqing's waist, and pinched Aiqing's chin tightly with one hand.
Aiqing instinctively closed her eyes, but after a while, she didn't see any movement, and opened her eyes slightly.
Jing Tingrui was smiling, and there was a little bit of annoying pride in her handsome smile, which made Aiqing bite her lip uncontrollably.
"I'll kiss you." Jing Tingrui said in a deep voice, "But after my triumphant return, this kiss, and more kisses, at that time, you will give it to me."
Aiqing's heart was beating violently, reluctant to say three words, it was so tormenting, he finally let go of his bitten red lips, and said extremely hoarsely, "I know." But there could be no more to say.
"Wechen retired."
Jing Tingrui knelt down to say goodbye, he still had a lot of things to do, and the sooner the day of the army, the better.
When the door of the temple creaked and slowly shut, "Pop the tower." Something fell and fell straight to the black, shiny ground.
Scattered raindrops of water.
Aiqing desperately suppressed the whimpering sound in her throat, but the tears still fell intermittently.
He was really reluctant, but he really had to do it.
"Father, when you let your father go to war, you were in the same mood?"
Aiqing reached out and grabbed the notebook that Jing Tingrui had just put down, and clutched it tightly in her heart, so painful that she couldn't help herself......
Two days before the ceremony, Xuan'er was suddenly transferred out of Changchun Palace to serve as a maid for Princess Yongjia.
Princess Yongjia is the eldest half-princess of the emperor, and she is married to the son of Ding Qian, the king of Xiangnan, and is married to Ding Wenzhong, the king of Yipinjun. This is a talented and good-looking young man, and the princess is a pair made in heaven.
In addition to rewarding a rich dowry, the emperor also wanted to send a trusted palace maid to take care of the princess who was married far away.
I didn't think that the eldest princess also had this intention, and asked for Xuan'er, although the emperor was a little reluctant, but Xuan'er was very smart and considerate and meticulous, and she was indeed an excellent candidate, so she gave it to the princess.
Although Xuan'er was reluctant, she had no choice but to say goodbye. Soon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs transferred several batches of palace maids. Among them, four named "Caiyun", "Caixia", "Hongyu" and "Hongzhu" were brought up by the same teacher, and they were about the same age, all around 20 years old.
Not only are they good at embroidery, but they can also paint, play chess, and relieve the emperor's boredom.
The most bizarre thing is that they can also dance with swords and swords. It's all because their teaching is the daughter of a martial artist, and the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, the ordinary guards are not their opponents.
Xiao Dezi arranged them in the inner hall to serve the emperor's food, clothing and daily life. The eldest Caiyun, although his appearance is not good, is good at distinguishing appearances and colors, and he acts smartly, so he became the leader of the palace maid.
Anping understood the reason, these four palace maid sisters were all General Jing's people, just like him.
He and Xiao Dezi don't know martial arts, although there are capable generals like Qin Kui and Song Zhi, but if an assassin approaches the emperor, it will be far away and the water will not be able to save the fire
The personal palace maid is the most inconspicuous and the best guard.
General Jing's good intentions made An Ping have an epiphany about why the general did not stop the two princes from sneaking out of the palace.
Obviously, the generals can stop the prince, but they will definitely be unhappy and then bother the emperor.
At the risk of being dismissed, he deliberately released the water, just to return the emperor's ears to the purity.
It can only be said that the general loves the emperor too much, and it has reached the point that no matter what it is, as long as the emperor is good, he will do it.
This expedition is for the same reason.
"For the sake of the general, I must take care of the emperor." An Ping silently thought that this was originally his mission, but it was the first time, and he had a determination not to live up to the general's trust.
If nothing else, it's for the general's deep affection that knows despair, but still devotes himself to it.
He didn't have the courage to do that, and after learning that the general had a heart for him and that it was impossible to fall in love with anyone else, he readily gave up, which is what a smart man does.
can understand that it is one thing, and when he reacts to his heart, it is still the same sour, so he can only bury himself in the preparation of the ceremony, and forget this feeling.
Xu knew that he was in trouble, and the two princes had reined in a lot in these days, and they took the initiative to come to the door to compensate for it. The emperor did not pursue them, but gave them a favor, agreeing that they would leave the palace once a month, limited to two hours each time, and asked Song Zhi to follow, not to run around, not to cause trouble.
got such a big benefit, Anping thought they should be satisfied, but they were naΓ―ve again, and they were not called to play after that, but,
This is all after General Jing went on the expedition.
The so-called general ceremony is to tell the soldiers who go out to fight that this general is going on the expedition instead of the emperor, and no one can disobey his military orders, and there is nothing to provoke his majesty.
Since ancient times, whether it is to crusade against the Liukou or to defend against foreign enemies, Dayan will carry out the same ceremony, but this time today is particularly grand.
Not only all the civil and military officials were present, but even the officials and soldiers of the nearby provinces and counties had to gather along the line, the civil officials wore python robes, and the samurai wore iron armor, kneeling on the ground to send off the general of the expedition, and the scene was very spectacular
And Jing Tingrui was not the first time he was appointed as the commander of an army, but it was the first time he received an edict at the Qinzheng Palace, and it was handed over to him by the emperor himself.
Then, Jing Tingrui held the seal letter and the imperial decree, and walked with the officials and soldiers who went out to kneel and bow nine times.
After the ceremony, you have to go to the first hall to make incense, worship the ancestors of the first emperor, and then go to the martial temple to worship, praying for the blessing of the martial god, all these things are according to the etiquette.
In order for this ceremony to be held smoothly, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are almost gray hair.
At this last step, that is, the send-off, the sun was setting, and the emperor and the ministers came to the outskirts of the imperial city, where the curtains had been set up in advance, and the wine banquet was ready.
The yellow curtain embroidered with colorful dragons is where the emperor is. On the throne, Aiqing stood up several times, toasted the soldiers, and said some auspicious words of "victory in the flag" and "triumphant return".
The soldiers knelt down one after another to thank him, and the people gathered on the periphery, and kowtowed to the direction of the tent through the heavy royal forest army, all shouting excitedly, "Long live the emperor and general Chitose"
Jia Peng pinched the blue and white porcelain wine glass, listening to the faint sound of "Chitose", his brows furrowed slightly, but he could hold on and not say a word
