Who put the yellow robe on me?
Chapter 112: Heroines
Jiang Chen stood after the court session, looking at the distant sky, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and decided to go to Tianlu Palace before returning to Tianbo Palace.
There were many ancient books on military strategies hidden there. He knew that although he had won the opportunity to go to war in the court, the real test was still on the battlefield.
So, he selected several of the most classic military law books in Tianlu Palace and couldn't wait to bring them back to Tianbo Palace.
Although I have studied a lot of strategies from historical games and classic TV dramas in my "previous life", there is still a big gap between theory and actual combat.
After returning to Tianbo Palace, Jiang Chen lined up the books and began to study them carefully. As he read, he deduced various possible tactics in his mind.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps between the pages, followed by the personal eunuch Xiao Anzi's voice softly announcing: "Your Highness, the Thirteenth Princess and Miss He are here to visit."
Jiang Chen was slightly startled, put down the book in his hand, and stood up to greet her. Before Jiang Chen could go to greet her, the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou rushed in with an excited look on her face.
"Sixteenth brother, it's so cool that you can go to the battlefield with me!" Jiang Sirou was excited, with excitement shining in her eyes.
"Sister Rou, the Sixteenth Prince is not going there for fun. It is very dangerous to go to the battlefield!" He Xiaowei said with a smile.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh at her cheerful expression, but he still maintained a hint of reserve: "Thirteenth sister, fighting in the battlefield is like fighting with swords and spears. How can you describe it as 'cool'?"
Jiang Sirou waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile, "Humph! I don't trust you! Don't think I don't know that you must be going to the battlefield to have a tryst with that Northern Qiang princess again! Last time in Dayan Mountain, you kissed and groped her. What, you don't plan to explain it?"
Jiang Chen felt that he had hit the nail on the head. His face flushed immediately, and he coughed dryly a few times, trying to hide his embarrassment: "Ahem! Well, this is just to maintain the relationship between the two countries. There's really no other meaning."
He secretly groaned in his heart, wondering how Zhong Xiaodan could have told everyone what happened that day, and even Princess Thirteen found out about it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache, and his mind was racing, thinking about how to change the subject.
At this time, He Xiaowei on the side slowly added: "I guess heroes have always been sentimental since ancient times."
Her tone was gentle, yet with a hint of bitterness. Jiang Chen felt even more embarrassed, his smile faltering. He knew He Xiaowei was gentle, and he understood the emotions hidden in her words.
"Haha, um, ahem, actually, going to the front line is thanks to Prime Minister He's great help!" Jiang Chen quickly found an excuse and quickly changed the subject.
Jiang Sirou was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Thanks to Prime Minister He? Why do you say that?"
Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally brought the topic to the point.
He coughed lightly and explained with a smile, "Thanks to Prime Minister He's great help in the court, otherwise my father probably wouldn't have let me go to the war so easily."
He Xiaowei was bewildered when she heard this. "Huh? I heard that Grandpa actually didn't want you to go? He even had the general sign a military order. How does that make him helping you?"
Jiang Chen laughed heartily, a hint of pride showing on his face: "Haha, you don't know, this is exactly the cleverness of Prime Minister He's retreat to advance.
At first, my father was indeed hesitant and unwilling to let me participate in this national war. But Prime Minister He and the general sang the same tune, which made my father change his mind.
He Xiaowei nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something. "So that's how it is. Grandpa is indeed very shrewd. This way, you've successfully obtained the opportunity to go on the expedition."
Jiang Chen smiled without saying anything, but was thinking about his next plan in his mind.
He knew that this expedition was not only for the benefit of the country, but also an important step for him to gain a firm foothold in the military.
Jiang Chen laughed heartily, trying to hide the cautiousness in his heart. "That's exactly the beauty of Prime Minister He! Prime Minister He and the general put on a show together, using the opportunity of issuing a military order to help me secure the opportunity to go on this expedition."
Jiang Sirou blinked, obviously not fully understanding what Jiang Chen said, but she felt that going to the battlefield was very easy: "Ah? It can be done so easily? That's too casual."
He Xiaowei couldn't help but interject, "I don't think so. This seemingly random scene is actually due to the support that Grandpa and the General give to Your Highness.
These two are the leaders of Daliang's civil and military officials. His Highness the Sixteenth has been too aggressive recently, which is why he is supported by these two."
Seeing that the two of them didn't quite understand, Jiang Chen smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that the previous arrangement between the general and the minister of war had finally come into effect.
He was now completely relaxed, and said with a smile: "Hahaha! In fact, every step in the court has been arranged in advance.
The Minister of War and the General both saw my desire to go to the battlefield. Prime Minister He simply went along with it and suggested that the General issue a military order to reassure my father, which led to my current opportunity.
Jiang Sirou heard this, a glint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly said, "That won't work. You've already gone to the battlefield! I want to go too!"
"what?"
Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard Jiang Sirou's proposal to go to the battlefield.
He waved his hands hastily, trying to stop her thoughts: "Thirteenth sister, you are joking. The battlefield is full of swords and guns, exposed to the wind and sun, and it is not suitable for a delicate girl like you."
He Xiaowei also quickly persuaded: "Sister Rou, the battlefield is really dangerous. How can a girl go to the battlefield? You should stay in the capital."
However, Jiang Sirou was not moved by his dissuasion. Instead, she said more firmly, "Why can the Third Princess of Northern Qiang go, but I can't? Tell me, how am I inferior to her?"
Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment, secretly groaning in his heart. This woman was really deadly when competing.
Indeed, the Northern Qiang's Third Princess, Yelu Mengmeng, was a woman, yet she displayed prowess on the battlefield that was no less than that of a man. However, this did not mean that the Thirteenth Princess, Jiang Sirou, could do the same...
He considered his words carefully, his tone filled with helplessness, "Thirteenth Sister, the Northern Qiang's three princesses are different because of their culture. They focus more on fighting and survival. Our Daliang princesses represent elegance and wisdom, not fighting on the battlefield."
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Jiang Sirou's eyes, and she seemed to be dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's flattery.
She raised her chin stubbornly and said firmly, "I don't think the princess of Daliang can only stay in the deep palace. I want to prove myself. I can handle the fighting on the battlefield."
Jiang Chen's heartbeat quickened, and he felt a headache coming on from the Thirteenth Princess's stubbornness. He knew that if the Thirteenth Princess really went to ask her father for permission, she might actually get it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at He Xiaowei, hoping she could help persuade her.
He Xiaowei had already realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly stepped forward to hold the Thirteenth Princess's hand, gently advising her, "Sister Rou, the battlefield is truly dangerous, beyond our imagination. Just listen to the Sixteenth Prince's advice and don't take this risk."
However, Jiang Sirou seemed even more determined. She put her hands on her hips and said stubbornly, "No, no! I absolutely cannot! I'm going to beg my father right now. I want to go to the battlefield too!"
Before she finished her words, she turned around and ran out of Tianbo Palace. Her back quickly disappeared outside the palace gate.
"Sister Rou, wait for me!" He Xiaowei shouted anxiously, hurriedly saying goodbye to Jiang Chen and chasing after him. Her voice echoed in the palace, with a hint of urgency and helplessness.
