"Well, Lone will definitely come back soon." He will definitely do his best to teach Beiting a profound lesson, and then return in triumph to give her a big hug and take his little girl home.

After appeasing the little girl, Yan Huai began to prepare for the expedition, and Yuan Yuan followed him like a little tail, and did not disturb him, just simply followed.

Soon, in a few days, the news that Yan Huai was about to go on an expedition spread throughout the harem of the former dynasty, and when Concubine Yi learned the news, she had a plan in her heart, and hurriedly took the fifth princess to the door, but she was stopped outside the East Palace.

"Concubine Yi Niangniang, Your Highness has an order, these days are forbidden for unrelated people to visit, you can come back another day." The guards stopped Concubine Yi mercilessly and conveyed Yan Huai's order in a straight manner.

Concubine Yi was not stupid enough to go directly to Yan Huai, the person she wanted to visit was naturally her original wish, and she was called the fifth princess missing the imperial sister-in-law.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with official business, this palace is not here to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince, the fifth princess has not seen the crown princess for a long time, and she wants to see the princess every day, so the palace came to disturb him, and bothered this lord to say to the princess for the palace."

Yan Liuli's mouth also muttered the childish words of "imperial sister-in-law" and "want to play with the imperial sister-in-law" in a timely manner, which made Yi Concubine's words sound a little more credible.

Tsing Yi just passed by the palace gate, and after hearing the voice of Yi Concubine, he walked out, "The slave maid has seen Yi Concubine Niangniang, and I have seen the fifth princess." ”

"Girl in Tsing Yi, can you let the palace take the fifth princess to see the crown princess? I haven't seen the crown princess for a long time, and the five princesses are clamoring to see the imperial sister-in-law. "Because of Tsing Yi's status in front of Yan Huai and Yuan Yuan, Yi Concubine has always been courteous to her, and she doesn't dare to offend her easily.

"Concubine Yi, it's really not a coincidence, Your Royal Highness was invited by Miss Zhou of the Qing family of Dali Temple to go to the Zhou family for a banquet, and I am afraid that I will not have time to see the fifth princess today." Tsing Yi smiled softly at Yi Concubine with a little apology on her face.

Having said that, whether it is true or not, Yi Concubine is not good to bother anymore, so she can only reply with a regretful expression, and then say that she will come to find her wish next time, and leave with the five princesses who are a little noisy.

Tsing Yi did not deliberately deceive Yi Concubine, she was indeed not in the East Palace, she accompanied Yan Huai out of the palace to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and Zhou Xiaoxue and her brother Zhou Mingchen were accompanied this time.

Yan Huai originally wanted to select twelve soldiers with good martial arts from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and set off with him to Biansai, in fact, after the news that he was going to the border, there was no shortage of children of the family who recommended themselves to accompany him, but none of them were rejected by Yan Huai.

As for agreeing to Zhou Mingchen's companionship, in addition to seeing that Zhou Xiaoxue is a friend of his wishes, the most important thing is that because of Zhou Mingchen's own talent and martial arts, the little Zhou family has such top-notch descendants, which makes Yan Huai a little surprised.

Yan Huai took Zhou Mingchen to discuss with the twelve soldiers who accompanied him in the big tent about the possible ambush on the way to the border fortress, while Yuan Yuan and Zhou Xiaoxue watched the horses at the stable.

"Your Highness, do you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my eldest brother will encounter danger when they fight on the border this time?" Zhou Xiaoxue asked worriedly.

When she learned that her eldest brother was going to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the border, her father and mother were worried that it would be dangerous and unpredictable, but her eldest brother made a decision without consulting her father and mother in advance, and then regretted it was a bully, so angry that his father beat her eldest brother with a whip that night, and she could do nothing but comfort her father and mother, so that they believed that the eldest brother would be able to protect herself.

"I don't know, Yan Shenzhi said that he would protect himself from getting hurt, I know he lied to me, my grandfather was so badly injured, Yan Shenzhi has never been on the battlefield, how can he not be injured." In the face of the inquiry of his little friend, he couldn't help but confide in her about his worries.

"Your Highness, you said it would be nice if you didn't have to fight, so that no one would be hurt." The immature girls learned about the endless pain caused by the war from the words in the books, and their hearts became more and more resistant to the war, but they also knew in their hearts that without the blood and sacrifice of their ancestors, how could they have a corner of peace today.

"Xiaoxue, we have to believe in Yan Shenzhi and your eldest brother, I believe that they will definitely be able to defeat the bad guys, beat them to the ground, and never dare to bully us again!" Xu followed Yan Huai to the martial arts training ground for many days to watch him practice martial arts with the wind, and she hoped to have a little more confidence in Yan Huai, she believed that Yan Shen would be able to defeat those bad guys and return safely.

Zhou Xiaoxue also thought of her eldest brother's obsession and love for riding and archery on weekdays, she had also seen her eldest brother compete with others, and those fancy frames with fists and embroidered legs were not her eldest brother's opponents! That's right, she believes in Big Brother!

"What His Highness said is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to lead my eldest brother and them to beat Beiting to the point that they dare not bully us easily!"

The two little girls cheered each other up and comforted each other, so that the atmosphere that was still a little sluggish began to become lively, and Zhou Xiaoxue began to ask her what things or food she had prepared for Yan Huai, who was about to travel far away.

"Huh? Do you still need to prepare something? "I was a rough nerve, I have been revolving around Yan Huai these days, and I never thought of giving Yan Huai some parting gifts for him to take away, but now when she heard Zhou Xiaoxue say this, she was a little surprised for a while.

Zhou Xiaoxue seemed to be able to understand the reason for her surprise, after all, she was as noble as the crown princess, and someone would offer everything with both hands, and it was normal for her to not expect it.

"Your Highness, it's okay, I'm not ready to give my eldest brother any gift yet? My mother embroidered a safety bag for my eldest brother, and I won't be able to do that if it's too difficult. When it comes to giving gifts for departure, Zhou Xiaoxue is also very troubled, and she has no clue after thinking about it for a long time yesterday.

Yuan Yuan also frowned and thought bitterly, she must give Yan Shenzhi a special gift, preferably to protect him.

Before the two little girls could figure out why, Xiao Dezi came to look for them, "Your Royal Highness, Miss Zhou, Your Highness has finished discussing things with Gongzi Zhou, we should go back." ”

Yuan Yuan and Zhou Xiaoxue glanced at each other, tacitly agreed not to talk about it again, and decided to secretly prepare a parting gift.

Three days later, Yan Huai led an elite team to set off on the border under the farewell of Emperor Yan and Baiguan, and after riding on the horse, he couldn't help but look back at the little girl who had already cried into tears, and still rode away ruthlessly.

Yuan Yuan looked at Yan Huai's distant back with teary eyes, thinking of the little cloth rabbit and itchy powder he secretly stuffed in his bag, hoping that Yan Shenzhi could find out that it was a gift from her.

"Your Royal Highness, let's go back, Grandpa Guo will arrive in Yanjing tomorrow, we should go back to the East Palace to clean up." After Tsing Yi finished speaking, she gently wiped the tears on her face, and then led her to the direction of the East Palace.
