Chapter Thirty-Four: It Has a Great Name
After Lixia washed the cucumber that the princess had broken, Chu Yi took it and ate it with satisfaction: "Thank you, Sister Lixia." β
There are two big palace maids in Gu Sangsang Palace, one is Lixia and the other is Luomei, both of whom have followed the queen for many years.
Among them, Lixia has a gentle and kind personality, and Chu Yi has a closer relationship with her.
Chu Tingxiao gritted his teeth and told himself that he didn't care about women, he was the king of a country, the lord of the world, what do you want, who is rare for a cucumber.
He didn't listen to Chu Yi's "click" cucumber eating sound, and stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the green vegetable garden under the sunset, his dark eyes were slightly distracted.
Chu Tingxiao has never forgotten what he said, of course he knows the reason why Gu Sangsang planted this vegetable furrow.
Compared with being the emperor of Yan Kingdom, he also wants to live an ordinary life with his beloved women and children.
However, these responsibilities have been borne on him from the moment he ascended the throne, and he is no longer the carefree and idle prince of his youth after all.
The promise he once made was the regret of his and Gu Sangsang's life.
When he looked at this vegetable field, he remembered himself and Gu Sangsang many years ago, at that time, he also thought about raising a hunting dog with his wife in his small house, coarse tea and light rice, and picking chrysanthemums under the east fence.
"Wang, Wang!"
The little black dog was still barking unwillingly, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chu Yi, the person who destroyed the owner's vegetable furrow at will.
"Xiaoxiaoβ"
Gu Sangsang's voice interrupted Chu Tingxiao's sadness, he heard these two words, he raised his head suddenly, he couldn't control it for a while, and his eyes flashed with tears.
Snappy.
It's been a long time since Gu Sangsang has called his name so kindly.
Just when Chu Tingxiao was about to cry with emotion, he saw Gu Sangsang squatting down and patting the little black dog's head.
Gu Sangsang: "Xiaoxiao, don't call it, this is Yi'er, not a bad person." β
Chu Tingxiao: "......"
He cracked open for a moment, and asked angrily: "Gu Sangsang, what do you say this dog's name is!?" β
Gu Sangsang raised his head, smiled softly at him, and killed people invisibly: "Xiaoxiao, it still has a big name, does Your Majesty want to know?" β
Chu Tingxiao said word by word: "I, no, think, know, Tao." β
He remembered that he had also jokingly said to Gu Sangsang that if he had a dog, it would not hurt to call him by his name.
Chu Yi didn't associate the pronunciation of "Xiaoxiao" with her father, and asked curiously: "Xiaoxiao still has a big name?" What's it called? β
Gu Sangsang: "It seems that Yi'er wants to know." β
Chu Tingxiao covered his daughter's mouth: "No, you don't want to!" β
In the end, Chu Yi didn't know what the name of "Xiaoxiao" was, she had dinner with these two people and left, and before leaving, she promised Gu Sangsang to come to Yonghua Palace for breakfast tomorrow.
As for Chu Tingxiao, he will not stay in the queen's bedroom today, unless he is not as good as a beast.
Chu Yi didn't bother his parents, and returned to the palace with the token that Gu Sangsang handed over to his private treasury.
With the 10,000 taels promised by Chu Tingxiao, the grain and grass that Gu Chengqi said and the management officials who promised to find him for himself, and now the private treasury of the queen mother, Yulin Jun should be able to get out of the state of making ends meet.
However, if you want to make that group of soldiers who have been lazy and indulgent for many years become a strong army that is truly loyal to her, more arrangements are needed.
Chu Yi saw the navy blue robe of the guards on duty outside the door, and his heart moved, and he called April in.
"What does Your Highness command?" Li April clenched his fists and asked, his expression as calm and cold as ever.
He was a guard who was given to Chu Yi by the prince together with Zhang Xiaonian, but Xiao Nian was a eunuch, and he held the position of a dark hall, he walked freely in the palace and could help Chu Yi do a lot of things, but he could only guard the door of the princess's bedroom with the most ordinary guards.
Li April thought that his whole life might go on like this.
Chu Yi looked at the silent young man, and in his puzzled eyes, he took out the jade seal given to her by Chu Tingxiao and put it in his hand.
"Your Highness, what does your Highness mean by this?" April's face showed a little surprise, and he felt that his palms were hot.
This is the jade seal of the former empress! More than 100 years ago, the empress was in charge of this seal, starting from the Ministry of Fengxian, until later ascending the throne as the emperor, this jade seal may not represent any power now, but it is of great significance.
"In April, you pack up and take it to the Yulin Army camp, this palace allows you to be the head of the Yulin Army, you only need to be allocated by your father's silver and the emperor, according to the military salary regulations, and distribute it to everyone in the army."
April's eyes widened and stammered: "Gong, princess, subordinates are stupid, stupid, I'm afraid they can't, they can't take on this heavy responsibility." β
Chu Yi said seriously: "Didn't you say that you stayed in the Yulin Army with your brother?" Since you have stayed, it is not difficult to let you pay according to the regulations in the name of this palace, and this palace says that you can, you can. β
Let Zhang pay the military salary in April, Chu Yi has a more important purpose.
As a woman, joining the army is a traitor in the eyes of many people, and it is difficult to get the convincing of the group of gentlemen and old fritters in the Yulin Army, and it is impossible for her to go to the army to subdue them one by one.
At the same time, she will reorganize the ordnance and food in the army, and tell them with practical actions that her plan for the Yulin Army is never a whim for fun, but to restore them to their former glory.
April's martial arts are strong, and he still has a loyal and calm temperament.
Such a person can only be an ordinary guard if he stays in Weiyang Palace, and it is difficult to make a name for himself, but it is easiest for him to gain a foothold in the army that believes in fists and righteousness.
He will become her first sign in the Yulin Army, and at the same time, find a new path for herself.
April looked at the jade seal in his hand fixedly, and felt that it weighed more than a thousand catties.
He was also young and ambitious, and was selected as a guard of the East Palace, dreaming that he could break into a man's demeanor, but he was born not good at words, and was sent to the princess by the prince.
thought that being an unknown guard and protecting the safety of the princess would be the destination of his life.
He didn't expect that the princess would let him return to the army, and also be the master of the Yulin Army, and even handed over the jade seal of the empress to himself!
"Subordinate, subordinate immediately, clean up, report to the camp tomorrow, subordinate will let Yulin Jun know, military salary, ordnance, everything is given, it was given by the princess!"
April is not a fool, he understands that Chu Yi's actions are to really take charge of the Yulin Army, but he is still grateful for her trust in him.
The young man's eyes moistened, and after a long time, he calmed down his emotions and said word by word: "Your subordinates will swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness the princess!" β
Chu Yi: "Why do one or two always talk about life and death, how unlucky." β
A touch of crimson appeared on April's cold and handsome face, and he stammered and couldn't speak.
"By the way, you tell the commander Su Xuan again, and tell him that you will train the Yulin Army well in the future, this is the will of your father." Chu Yi admonished again.
"Subordinates, understood!" April nodded and left.
Chu Yi watched him leave excitedly, and suddenly remembered that Chu Ye was the most careful, since he promised to send himself a few capable talents, why didn't both of them be eunuchs?
Sending the guards to Weiyang Palace, it is inconvenient to do anything, how could Chu Ye make such a mistake.
A fine light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and he suddenly understood everything.
Perhaps, Chu Ye saw that she was interested in the Yulin Army that day, so he specially gave her a person who had been in the Yulin Army.
And April, just the most suitable time to be sent to the Yulin Army by yourself!
Her brother is as careful as a hair, and he is not missing, and all this is just to help himself.
"Brother...... Chu Yi muttered in a low voice, the corners of his lips rising slightly.
