Before leaving, General Su deliberately supported his sick body and gave a lot of instructions to Yan Ruoxu.

Yan Ruodu listened patiently and memorized all these contents in his mind.

General Su said, "Okay, you can go out quickly." I heard that this time the Empress will see you off in person. This is a great honor, and you must come back from a beautiful victory to be worthy of the empress's high regard for you. ”

"Mother rest assured."

……

The empress sent her off on the city tower just now, but when Yan Ruo raised her head, her eyes fell on the cold figure.

The two of them were obviously far apart, and Lu Jinyu could recognize it as Xu Qingzhu just by feeling.

He could also feel that the other party was also looking at her at the moment, watching her leave.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this trip will definitely live up to expectations!" Yan Ruo shouted loudly.

The general behind her immediately shouted: "I will swear to kill the enemy and return triumphantly!" ”

Countless people shouted the same sentence, and the sound almost broke through the sky.

The look on the empress's face was originally a little serious, but in this uplifting morale, she couldn't help but smile a little.

"If you can triumph, you will definitely hold a celebration banquet!" The emperor said in a loud voice, and he was not afraid that those people would not hear.

After all, there are naturally people who will speak for her.

Then, Yan Ruo left with her army.

The mighty team made the people who stood on a high place and watched only feel their blood boiling.

But as long as you think about it, not all of them will be able to come back at that time, and it is inevitable that people will feel that there is unspeakable sadness rising from the bottom of their hearts.

-

As soon as the army leaves, whether it is won or lost, there will be no results in a short time.

Since ancient times, expeditions have been carried out for as few months as many as several years, and there is no fixed time.

Things in the court are still the same as before, anyway, Xu Qingzhu fights with people from other factions all day long.

Suddenly, one day someone mentioned Xu Qingzhu's family affairs.

"The princess has long passed the age of marrying, and there is still no one in the backyard, which is not conducive to reproducing the imperial heir. The minister implored His Majesty to grant the Empress Dowager a marriage. ”

When Xu Qingzhu heard this, his heart jumped.

However, he did not speak immediately, first glanced in the direction where the empress was, and waited for the empress to speak first.

"Qingzhu, the imperial heir is indeed a big deal. Since you are the crown princess and bear the burden of reproducing the imperial heir, you should marry a husband earlier and continue the bloodline for my royal family. ”

"That's what the Mother said. However, now there is famine and epidemic outbreak in the south, and there are enemy countries attacking the frontier, and the internal and external troubles have not been resolved. As the crown princess, the son should also share the worries of the mother and the emperor and do things for the country, but he really can't put his mind on things like the love of his children. ”

When the empress heard Xu Qingzhu's words, she nodded with satisfaction.

Look, it's her daughter, the prince of Xiyan - dedicated to the people, not obsessed with men, really excellent!

The empress was proud, and after praising Xu Qingzhu for a few words, she changed her words again, "Although it is not wrong to worry about the country and the people, as a member of the royal family, you must also take the matter of reproducing the imperial heir to heart." In this way, you have a pick, but there is an unmarried man in the family. If you like it, I will marry you directly. ”

"Yes." Xu Qingzhu lowered his eyebrows and responded, "Erchen will take this matter to heart." ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to take this matter to heart, we can serve His Highness at the moment, which man can match His Highness."

As soon as the minister spoke, the other courtiers answered and echoed.
