Lu Shi covered his mouth, pretending to be stunned and said coquettishly: "Oh, I didn't expect that the princess was born in an official family, and she didn't know what the prince army was, so it was my abruptness." ”

This person came to be uneasy and kind, Chu Junlan naturally knew in his heart that he didn't care about her yin and yang weird words, and he didn't bother to deal with people who deliberately came to see her lively.

Chu Junlan smiled and bowed slightly, then walked past the Lu clan towards Jingxuan.

Zi Yuan and Zi Yan curtsied, not asking the Lu clan to find out the mistakes, and quickly kept up with Chu Junlan's pace.

Lu Shi looked at Chu Junlan's back, snorted, stomped his feet, turned around and walked away.

Chu Junlan's face became more and more solemn along the way, and as soon as he returned to Jingxuan, he said, "Call Jingyu and Huo Yeqing to talk back." ”

Zi Yan nodded, and immediately went to the wing room to find the two of them.

Xiao Xu left them in the mansion to listen to Chu Junlan's orders, and the two of them got the word and did not suspect him, so they immediately went to the main house, who knew that as soon as they entered the door, they saw Chu Junlan sitting in the first place, although his face was calm and he couldn't see any emotion, but he could clearly feel that Chu Junlan was in a very bad mood now.

Jingyu sorted out her emotions and stepped forward with a smile: "Say hello to the princess." ”

"Excuse me, you all sit down, I have something to ask."

The more Chu Junlan looked so faint, the more bottomless Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing felt in their hearts, how could they dare to sit down like this? Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What you order, let's just stand and reply." ”

Chu Junlan did not force them to bow slightly, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and his pretty face was slightly raised to look at the two.

"Tell me what the princes' army does."

When he spoke, Chu Junlan looked directly at the two of them with good eyes, not missing the slightest reaction of the two. Sure enough, she found that Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing glanced at each other and exchanged a look.

Jing Yu said with a smile on her face: "Back to the princess, this prince army has been around for a long time, but it is too marginalized, and everyone does not respect it very much. At that time, Emperor Taizu often fought abroad, and the prince wanted to defend the base camp, so Taizu left a team of his cronies with the prince to act as the prince's personal guard and assist the prince in defending the city.

"Later, with several changes, these pro-guard troops who assisted the prince were changed by Taizu to the 'prince's army', and the personnel in them were all direct descendants of clan relatives or nobles. The first prince's army, after the prince practiced Zuo, part of it became the emperor's personal guard, and part of it entered the military department.

"After the crown prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, when the prince was not yet established, he would follow the practice of Taizu, and then continue to look for candidates for the prince's army for the prince, and the prince's army has continued to this day in such a cycle."

Chu Junlan nodded and said worriedly, "I understand." It's just that the position of this prince's army is already very embarrassing. The founding emperor established the prince's army, because at that time there was a war, and it was always necessary to be prepared for emergencies, but later in the peaceful and prosperous times, the existence of the prince's army would be decentralized, and it would also promote the power of people with intentions. ”

"You're absolutely right." Jing Yu Bibi gave a thumbs up, "So, the prince's army has continued from generation to generation, and it has basically existed in name only, you think, the prince army has not yet been sealed, and the prince's army has already existed first, isn't this a threat to the emperor?" Also, anyone who has brains and can be a prince will not like the prince's army, and would rather cultivate power behind his own back than get close to the justifiable prince's army, so as not to be suspicious of the emperor. ”

Huo Yeqing also nodded: "So the prince's army has become such an embarrassing existence now, the number of people has been reduced from more than 10,000 at the beginning to hundreds of people so far, and you can probably guess that most of the princes' army are nobles and clansmen who have been abandoned by the family, Emperor Taizu stipulated in his early years that once he joined the prince's army, he was the prince's army all his life, and it was impossible to get away, so Xungui was naturally reluctant to send his most valued children to that embarrassing place." ”

Chu Junlan nodded, "So, why did your prince enter the prince's army?" ”

Huo Yeqing and Jing Yu looked stunned and stopped talking.

Chu Junlan narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess a thing or two." Now the identity of the prince is embarrassing, and his status in the palace is not up or down, the prince was poisoned that day, and the detoxification needs to be made with blood blood to make medicine, but in the end there was a farce, this matter must have been spread, but everyone is afraid that this is the emperor's secret, so they dare not make a mistake. The prince wants to mobilize some troops and horses in the relationship of Prince Gong as before, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, so who did he make a deal with? ”

Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

"The princess is too smart. The prince of the world is not allowed to talk nonsense, but we knew from the beginning that you could guess it yourself, you are right, the prince of the world in order to borrow troops to you, so he went to ask the prince, the prince must have hated the prince to death now, so he proposed to let the prince join the prince's army in exchange conditions, the prince agreed without thinking about it. ”

Chu Junlan rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and distressed, and scolded in a low voice: "That fool." ”

After entering the prince's army, he can't break away from it all his life, and in the future, the emperor doesn't know who will be the prince, for Xiao Xu, the future is already dark, anyway, no matter who becomes the prince and inherits the throne, he won't attach much importance to the prince's army.

"How long has the prince's army been on duty? How many days off are you? Chu Junlan changed the subject.

Jing Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that Chu Junlan didn't pursue it, he said: "We don't know the specific time, so let's listen to Shangfeng's orders if I want to come." ”

Chu Junlan nodded: "Okay, then you will lead the way, and I will go to see the prince." ”

"Huh?" After Jingyu and Huo Yeqing were shocked, they waved their hands again and again: "You still don't want to go, the prince has ordered, don't let you know, you ......"

"I don't know that from you. If you don't send me, I'll find someone else. ”

Chu Junlan really has this ability.

Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing didn't dare to let Chu Junlan go out alone, for fear that she would encounter any danger, so they had to nod their heads and reluctantly took Chu Junlan to the prince's army camp.

Standing outside the gate of a large dilapidated courtyard on the southern outskirts of the city, Chu Junlan couldn't believe his eyes.

The courtyard in front of me was built with blue bricks, but because of its age, the wall was crooked and was about to collapse, but no one repaired it, only a wooden stake was used to support the wall diagonally.

The buildings in the courtyard are even more dilapidated, the window paper is patched, and the prince's army defenders standing in the courtyard are wearing the simplest jackets, which looks like a sense of poverty.

Chu Junlan frowned, and was just about to tell Jing Yu to pass the word, when he saw Xiao Xu wearing a red jacket and coming out of the house with an expressionless face.

There was a tall man walking in front of him, and he said in a mocking voice: "Those who come here are all abandoned sons who the family doesn't want, no one should stand up with anyone, anyway, everyone can't climb out for a lifetime, you just accept your fate, don't think about being special, you can take a day off for five days, and you have to be on duty for four days before you can go home, don't think about taking leave, if I allow your leave, I will not allow the rest of the people?" ”
