The will of the Jiangcheng army to go out was handed down the next day.

The military situation is urgent, and there is no time to delay, and the old marquis of Jiangcheng is too old to go to battle, so the prince of Jiangcheng Hou Shizi as the commander canonized the general of Yipin Pingbei.

Bai Yan, as a deputy general, added the rank of general of three products to the honorific title of the horse, and the father and son led the army together, the grain and grass went first, and the army set off three days later.

It wasn't until the grain cart of the military department left the capital that everyone in the capital reacted.

Unexpectedly, the final candidate was still Jiang Chengjun.

It is rare that those generals who were rushing to go out did not protest, and they all honestly accepted the results in front of them.

The combat power of the Jiangcheng army is placed there, and those who are not satisfied can go up and compare, but they can't compare, and they don't dare to disobey.

More importantly, for them, the expedition is a good opportunity to make contributions, and once they can win, they will definitely be crowned with an official and a wife and son when they come back.

But it was different for the Jiangcheng army.

The Marquis of Jiangcheng has already married a Gulun princess, and her honor is so great that there is no seal, and their father and son will not have the slightest benefit from going on the expedition, but they will have to carry the pressure of losing the battle.

Therefore, everyone also understands that the father and son of the Marquis of Jiangcheng are indeed loyal to the king, and they do not have other plans like them.

Compared with these generals, more Wenchen couldn't believe it, how could the emperor send the father and son of the Marquis of Jiangcheng to go on the expedition?

Even if the emperor is willing, is the queen mother willing?

Even if the Queen Mother understands righteousness and is really willing, can the eldest princess bear not to plead?

Everyone is secretly waiting to see the excitement, the eldest princess has a noble status, and she has to endure the pain of separation between husband and wife just after getting married, with the degree of her favor, she will definitely rush to the imperial garden overnight to plead with the queen mother!

On the first day, there was no news.

The next day, still nothing.

Seeing that the Jiangcheng army was about to set off on the second day, someone on the long street of the capital saw that the eldest princess's scepter came out of the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion and went to the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Those who have good deeds are proud in their hearts, "Let's just say that the eldest princess will definitely go to plead with the Queen Mother, but why didn't she go earlier?" Seeing that the army is about to be drawn tomorrow, what is the use of interceding at this time? ”

"I can't say for sure, if you want me to say, it's not easy for the eldest princess to endure it for two days, maybe she can't help it......"

The eldest princess went to the imperial garden, and it took most of the day for the honor guard to come out of the imperial garden.

The people on the street looked at the majestic honor guard of the eldest princess, and they always thought in their hearts, I don't know if she has succeeded in interceding, and I don't know if the queen mother will temporarily change her mind and persuade the emperor.

If the Queen Mother comes forward, the emperor will definitely agree.

To the surprise of all those who watched, after the eldest princess left the Imperial Garden, there was no disturbance in the Imperial Garden, and everything was as usual.

The Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion is also as usual, except for the servants who pack up for the prince and his son, everything else is no different from usual.

"Husband, I'm back."

When the eldest princess came back, she did not go directly to her own courtyard, but went to the main hall in front of her, where the family often gathered since the will of the expedition was handed down.

On weekdays, they all eat in their respective courtyards, and they all get together these days, and the whole family uses them together.

Before the eldest princess walked in, she saw Bai Yan standing outside the courtyard, as if waiting for her.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw the eldest princess coming back, he immediately greeted him.

"Why did you go for so long? I was about to send someone to pick you up in the Imperial Garden, but I was afraid that the queen mother would feel abrupt. ”

"The queen mother is not such a formal person, but I am afraid that she will be happy when you go, and think that you treat me very thoughtfully."

The eldest princess smiled, and ordered the maidservant girl behind her to carry the food box in her hand first, "The queen mother has made a lot of fresh snacks there today, let me taste them with her there, and ask me to give the cook an idea, saying how to change this and how to change that." Because I was chatting happily, I didn't know it was late. ”

"Before leaving, the queen mother asked me to bring back a lot of snacks, saying that it was for everyone to taste. I thought if you liked, you could wrap some durable ones and eat them as dry food on the road. ”

Bai Yan couldn't help but squeeze her hand gently, "Do you think that I will be short of clothes and less clothes after I go on the expedition, so I even have dry food for me?" Not really. From the capital all the way to the border and the place where Dzungar meets, we can cook every day, and both generals and soldiers can eat hot meals. ”

Princess Celestia was surprised, "So what do you usually eat?" ”

Bai Yan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I haven't been on the battlefield either, and I don't know much about these things." However, I went to Hebei with my father to change the guard before, and at that time I also walked on the road for many days, and it was winter, so we ate some cabbage stewed bacon or something. Those bacon are easy to store in winter, and there are even some fresh beef and mutton supplies. It's early summer...... About big fish and big meat are not eaten, and ordinary home-cooked food is still available. ”

The eldest princess was much more relieved when she heard this, and said, "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”

Entering the hall, the old marquis and his wife and the prince and his wife were inside, asking the maid who carried the food box a question, which was nothing more than asking how many snacks the imperial garden had made today, and whether the queen mother ate deliciously or not.

Seeing the eldest princess enter, Mrs. Shizi said to her, "Did the princess come back today after eating enough in the imperial garden?" The maids said that the queen mother gave the princess a taste of many new kinds of dim sum. ”

"yes."

The eldest princess's face was slightly red, "I'm full, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much for dinner in a while, but I still want to stay here, after all, the next time the family gets together for dinner, it may have to wait for several months." ”

Everyone was a little emotional when they heard this, but the old marquis stroked his beard and laughed.

He smiled, and everyone looked at him in bewilderment.

The old marquis smiled: "I know that my granddaughter-in-law is the most reasonable woman in the world, and she will never do anything that insults her status as a princess and the marquis of Jiangcheng!" Those long-tongued women chewed the root of their tongues, and they should be beaten out! ”

The eldest princess was confused, and only understood after listening to Bai Yan's explanation.

"Today, a few female relatives from the side branches of the house came to talk to my grandmother, saying that if you have been to the Imperial Garden for most of the day and have not returned, you must have gone to plead with the queen mother. also said that with your intercession, the queen mother will definitely make the emperor change his mind and will not let our Jiangcheng army risk going out again. ”

Bai Yan said, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Grandmother's face turned red when she heard this, and she was embarrassed to open her mouth to drive away customers because of the relationship between her family. Grandfather happened to pass by, and when he heard it, he was so angry that he went in and robbed them. They weren't embarrassed, and they didn't dare to say it anymore. ”

I see.

Thinking that the old marquis is not surprised on weekdays, but at this time, he is talking to a few women for the reputation of Jiang Chengjun, the eldest princess can't help but laugh.

After laughing, I was even more moved, moved by their trust in me.
