The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Beixiu Yan was noncommittal and said loudly: "Have you had enough trouble? Come in and discuss the matter."

Lu Huaining hurriedly got off Hong Xi, took the sweat towel handed by the guard, wiped his face, and walked to the main army tent.

After a while, the generals gathered together, and Bei Xiuyan sat at the top and handed the newly arrived military report to Lu Huaining.

"Originally, a small tribe from Beidi came to attack the border. The general who defended the city retreated without a fight, allowing him to rob a lot of things. Now that the rest of the tribes have made some changes, this battle needs to be decided quickly."

"Master, let me go. I will definitely kill them with vigor." Lu Huaining took the initiative to ask for help, with a look of pride on his brows as he had just won the competition.

Bei Xiuyan stared at him with a pair of dark eyes and asked in a coach's tone, "Prince Ning, in our first battle with Beidi, we will only win but not lose. Can you guarantee that?"

"I am willing to issue a military order, and those who fail to do so will be dealt with by military law." Lu Huaining solemnly requested the order. The originally frail young man now felt a sense of indomitable heroism.

Beixiu Yan raised his hand and took out the token from the brocade box on the table, and handed it to Lu Huaining personally, "Prince Ning, I order you to lead the vanguard battalion to set off immediately and attack Di Rong's army from the north, so that they can never come back. "

"Yes." Lu Huaining accepted the order, turned around and went down to prepare his troops. The other generals also received orders and prepared to go.

Only Hong Xi was at the end. After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't help but ask: "My lord, do you really want Prince Ning to take the lead? What if he..."

"The real situation discovered by Vice General Qin is that the enemy army has less than 10,000 troops, and the forward battalion led by Huaining is more than enough to deal with them." Beixiu Yan stood in the main army's tent with his hands behind his back, looking confident and calm around him.

He turned to look at Hong Xi and said, "Did you lose to him on purpose just now?"

Hong Xi scratched his head and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Didn't I think about going to war soon? Let him win once, so that he will be more confident on the battlefield."

"Hong Xi, the battlefield in Huaining is not in the north."

As soon as Beixiu Yan said something, Hong Xi understood it immediately.

He lifted up his robe and knelt down, saying solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will protect Prince Ning even if I risk my own life."

Beixiu Yan's eyes flashed with admiration. Hong Xi usually looked at him as a fool, but he still knew what to do.

In Qinde Hall, Xiao Chenyan poured wine alone and drank one glass after another. He could not resolve the pain of not being able to love. Shen Ruzhou smiled brightly at everyone, but when he looked at him, there was always a layer of frost on his face, as if he was thousands of miles away.

He could use his strategy to move Beixiu Ban away from Kyoto, and he could postpone their wedding which was just around the corner, but he couldn't win back Shen Ruzhou's heart. This kind of frustration made him feel powerless.

In the midst of the gloom, Concubine De came in with a mother and daughter.

"Chen Yan, this is the wife and beloved daughter of Mr. Lu, the Minister of Household Affairs." Concubine De smiled and pulled the pretty young woman behind her to her side, wanting to give her son a good look.

"Rou'er, hurry up and pay tribute to His Highness the Crown Prince." Madam Lu pushed her daughter one step forward, for fear that Xiao Chenyan would not be able to see her daughter's beauty clearly.

A sweet smell of fragrant powder hit his face. Xiao Chenyan slapped his nose twice with his hand in disgust, but he never raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.

"Mother, I'm tired today, so I'll go back and rest first."

He had drunk a lot of wine and his steps were a little weak. He had just taken a few steps when he was caught up by Concubine De.

Concubine De looked back at the Lu family mother and daughter, then leaned into Xiao Chenyan's ear and whispered: "Miss Lu's name is only soft, but she is a well-known lady in Kyoto. Mother and Concubine have been looking after you for a long time. You accept her." Being a concubine also saves you from having to sleep in a cold bed and quilt every night..."

Xiao Chenyan couldn't bear to hear this and interrupted, "Concubine, I won't marry anyone except Shen Ruzhou. I don't want that Miss Lu even to be a concubine, let her go."

Xiao Chenyan brushed away Concubine De's hand on his arm and walked straight out.

Concubine De didn't expect her son to be so persistent. Seeing his devastated look, Shen Ruzhou scolded Shen Ruzhou in her heart.

She turned around helplessly and said with a polite smile: "Chen Yan has been working hard all day. Let him rest first. Let's go to the Royal Garden for a walk."

"His Royal Highness, being diligent in government affairs is a blessing to the country. It's just a bad time for us to come." Mrs. Lu said with a smile, making Concubine De very satisfied.

Lu Rou walked behind them with her head lowered. She had heard what Concubine De and Xiao Chenyan had just said. She was filled with anger and had no way to vent her anger. She could only twist the handkerchief in her hand.

Xiao Chenyan returned to the East Palace and asked people to serve wine and continue drinking. Jun Wu stood guard at the door, glancing in from time to time, his face full of worry, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

At this time, An Yitang came up wearing a crimson official robe, "I would like to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Please inform me."

Jun Wu glanced at him with cold eyes and said angrily, "His Highness is very upset at the moment. He will not give you a good face. He will scold you in the lightest way, or he will be demoted or demoted in the worst case."

The words were clear, but An Yitang had no intention of leaving at all, and continued shamelessly: "No, I brought a big gift to His Royal Highness this time. He will definitely like it when he sees it."

After speaking, he clapped his hands together, and then a graceful woman walked over with her slender waist twisted.

She's just a woman, nothing special about her. Jun Wu sneered, but when he saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes were filled with surprise.

This woman actually looks a lot like Shen Ruzhou.

The same look of surprise also appeared in Xiao Chenyan's eyes. Because of his drunkenness, he reacted more strongly than Jun Wu.

He immediately stepped forward, hugged the woman, and shouted over and over again: "Ruzhou, Ruzhou..."

The woman leaned into his arms very meekly, and looked at him lovingly with a pair of crystal eyes like autumn water.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Xiao Chenyan pushed the woman away and murmured: "No, you are not Ruzhou, who are you?"

An Yitang heard his question and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, her name is Fei Ling. She was specially found by the official to serve His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Chenyan was stunned for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Dong An Guo is interested. This palace needs such a woman."

Seeing that he was satisfied, An Yitang smiled even more, "Fei Ling is obedient and gentle, and will ensure that His Highness will be served comfortably..."

"If you have anything to do with Mr. An Guo, just tell him." Xiao Chenyan knew that this man had always been unwilling to do anything early, so he simply made his words clear.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and I do have something to ask of you." Immediately, An Yitang told the people about the disaster's request for food allocation.

Xiao Chenyan readily agreed, and An Yitang immediately thanked him profusely.

Jun Wu felt very uneasy, and after sending An Yitang away, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, those grains are all going to be sent to the Regent's army for military rations. You allocated them to An Guogong. If the Regent asks, Get up, how do we respond.”

Xiao Chenyan twirled the wine glass with his fingers, a glint flashing in his eyes, "Soldiers need to eat food, and disaster victims also need to eat food. Even if he comes to the Northern Xiu Banquet, what will happen?"

After saying that, he turned his attention to Fei Ling again. After carefully looking at her from head to toe, he told Jun Wu, "Go and put her into the same clothes and hair accessories as Shen Ruzhou. I want to take a look." Can she confuse the fake with the real?”
