The Imperial Study.

The emperor held bird food in his hand and teased a parrot hanging next to the table in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you."

A eunuch walked in and bowed slightly to His Majesty, clasped his hands in front of him and clenched his fists, and spoke.

"Let him in."

Then Ning Changyuan walked in in a four-clawed python robe and stood in front of the table.

The emperor put down the things in his hand and looked up at him, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and became serious, and he returned to his place and sat down.

"The son visits his father."

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to get up, "Say, what's the matter." ”

"Father, the sons and daughters came today because they wanted the father and the emperor to allow the sons and daughters to go on the expedition with Lord Gu."

When Ning Changyuan's words came out, the emperor looked at him with strange emotions in his eyes, "Prince, going to the Northwest Battlefield is not a trivial matter, you are the current prince and my son, go rashly, if something happens......

Although he was worried about Ning Changyuan's safety on the surface, he actually hoped that he would go in his heart, but if he made military achievements in the northwest, responding to the morale of the army is another story.

"Father, it is precisely because the son is the current prince that even Lord Gu volunteered to go, so why should I not go as the crown prince?"

"If something happens to the sons and daughters in the northwest battlefield, the father can re-establish the crown prince!" Ning Changyuan said, kneeling directly on the ground.

The eyes are determined.

The emperor looked at him with a slight narrowing of his eyes, his fingers knocked on the table, and he didn't reply.

"My father is now old, and there must be many things that Master Gu doesn't understand when he is in the army, and his son should go as the crown prince."

Seeing him say this, Ning Changyuan, who had been hesitant, nodded, "In this case, I am ready, when the march to the northwest, you and Lord Gu will go together, retreat." ”

After Ning Changyuan left, His Majesty asked the princess to be called.

After the princess came, she looked at the emperor slightly, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, she walked to the emperor's side by herself, squeezed him away, and sat down.

"Hey!" The emperor looked at her and wanted to scold, but when he looked at her unhappy, he couldn't scold her, and his eyes were helpless.

"Okay, okay, what kind of temper are you playing at this time, I came to you this time, I have something to do for you."

The princess is now full of thoughts about the things outside the Star Picking Tower that day, and she was actually saved by a poor and sour show, and she was also taught a lesson by Lord Gu, and she doesn't know how Lord Gu thinks of her now.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the emperor looked at the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know.

Taking a deep breath, the emperor stretched out his hand and patted the princess's shoulder, comforting, "Don't be petty, in a few days, Lord Gu and the crown prince will follow the soldiers to the northwest together, your royal brother is proofing in front, you princess sitting here?" It's a bit unreasonable, isn't it? ”

"Brother Huang is a man, I am a woman, I can't compare!" The princess retorted.

"Alas! Who said that women can't be like men, I have arranged a teacher for you, and you will concentrate on practicing drumming with that teacher for the next few days, and then stand on the city wall, beat the drum and send them away, so that the people of the world can also see what a wonderful woman our princess is. ”

After listening to him, the princess stood up directly, wanting to refuse, the emperor didn't plan to follow her temperament in the face of this matter, and before she could speak, the emperor shouted, "Okay!" If I tell you to learn, you will learn, don't mess around anymore, you are not young anymore, if you do this again, don't call me father again. ”

The tone is relatively heavy, the expression is also very serious, and the voice is irresistible.

"Got it." The princess bowed slightly, and then walked out.

For several days on end, the princess was dragged to practice drumming, and the drummer was playing the drums on one side, and she sat beside her, holding her head with one hand, and yawned.

When the drum was finished, the teacher walked up to her and placed the drum in the palm of her hand.

"Princess, it's your turn."

Standing up and stretching, the princess stood up and took the contents of her hand, then lifted it up and knocked it twice casually.

"Princess, princess, wrong, the second hit should be light!" The teacher stood next to him and shouted.

As soon as she said this, the princess directly threw the drumming thing in her hand into the hands of the personal palace maid next to her, and the personal palace maid looked at the princess and was startled, "Princess, this?" ”

"What is this, this, let you take it and you will beat the drums, what do you do with so much nonsense." The princess said angrily, and then stepped aside and stood.

The drumming teacher wanted to say something, but the princess gave her a hard look, and she had to close her mouth and stand aside.

The personal maid held the drumming object in her hand, her expression was scared, she took a deep breath, she closed her eyes, raised the thing in her hand, and knocked it again and again.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about the princess practicing drumming, and she has watched it many times, and she can probably remember the movements, but she has never touched these things, and the princess is now staring at her with a pair of eyes, if she doesn't play the drum, she will definitely be scolded to death by the princess.

There was no way, she had to learn the movements of the drumming teacher, hitting one by one.

After the song was over, the drumming teacher stood aside and clapped his hands, perhaps because he had watched the princess play the drum for a long time, and finally saw a good one, and suddenly felt that his ears were much more relaxed.

I just wanted to praise, but looking at the eyes of the princess next to her, she immediately shrunk her neck, "It's a good bulge, but the princess has been talented since she was a child, so it's naturally much better, princess, do you want to continue practicing?" ”

"Don't practice, step down." The princess beckoned, motioning for her to leave.

On the day when the marching team left, all the soldiers were wearing armor, Gu Wanwan was wearing blue armor, holding a sword in her hand, and looked at Ning Changyuan next to her on horseback.

At this time, Ning Changyuan was wearing an apricot-colored armor, holding a long sword, his eyes were looking ahead, and there were a group of soldiers behind the two of them.

On the city wall, a man dressed in red, wearing a veil, holding a drum in both hands, where to beat the drum, the movements in his hands are relatively stiff, and the dancing is also a little rusty.

Ning Changyuan looked at the man and frowned slightly, he had long heard that his father had let his imperial sister come to beat the drum to see him off, and the person standing on the city wall and beating the drum today was short, and his figure did not match the princess.

Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Ning Changyuan looked around and looked at the marching team behind him.

The princess standing in the middle of the marching procession stood among them wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier, and when she saw Ning Changyuan turn around, she immediately lowered her head.
