Song Jinxiu came out of the weapons camp and went directly to the Xishan camp.

Manufacturing new weapons takes time, and crossbows are not yet widely available to the entire army. Therefore, she needs to personally inspect the soldiers' current equipment before she can feel assured.

Grand Princess Mansion.

Princess Kangning and Chen Shigui returned, and the Grand Princess finally learned the truth.

The eldest princess, in a rage, slapped Princess Kangning in the face, "You are incapable of accomplishing anything, but always capable of causing trouble."

Princess Kangning was beaten and covered her face with her hands, crying. Nanny Hu was crawling on the ground, trembling.

She spread the false news in advance and deliberately slowed down the process, hoping that the eldest princess could ask His Majesty to grant her marriage.

If His Majesty approves the marriage, even if Princess Kangning is not a virgin, the matter will be settled once the imperial decree is issued.

As long as Princess Kangning married the Duke of Zhenguo, the Grand Princess's goal would be achieved. Even if the princess knew the whole story and was furious, considering she was still useful, she would at most punish her with a beating, but not kill her.

The Grand Princess looked at her coldly, "Didn't you say that Kang Ning and the Duke of Zhenguo had a good relationship? How could it be Chen Shigui?

Madam Hu trembled and said tremblingly, "Something happened at that time. I wonder if His Majesty has granted me the marriage?"

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes. "So you spread false news to me just to make me look bad in front of His Majesty and make a fool of myself in front of the Queen Mother?"

She suddenly raised her voice and said, "You are so bold! Come, drag this damn slave away and feed him to the dogs."

Madam Hu's body suddenly went limp and she was dragged away.

After such a big mistake, the eldest princess was furious when she thought about her clownish behavior these days.

She was the eldest princess, but she was fooled by a servant.

The eldest princess became angrier the more she thought about it, and she felt more and more upset when she looked at Princess Kangning.

Princess Kangning also felt aggrieved. It was her mother who arranged for her to go to the border to find Su Mo. Nanny Hu was also arranged by her mother. She was asked to do such a thing as an unmarried girl. If it failed, could she still blame her?

She cried and said, "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to marry my brother-in-law."

In fact, she thought it was not a bad idea to marry her brother-in-law. He was eloquent and kind, much better than her cousin, who was a blockhead.

The eldest princess looked cold and said, "Chen Shigui is nothing. He is not even worthy of carrying Su Mo's shoes. I tell you, give up those little calculations in your mind. Since you are not blessed to be the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, then be a concubine."

Princess Kangning was horrified, "No."

She begged bitterly, "Mother, please let me marry my brother-in-law. We are already married, and my cousin knows about it. How could he possibly accept me? Mother, why did you insist on having your daughter hang herself on a tree?"

Is this still my mother? She only has her "great cause" in her heart, and doesn't consider herself at all. She asked her, a princess, to offer herself to him. Now that something has happened, she is asked to be a concubine. She might as well die.

"Su Mo knows about your affairs? Could it be that Chen Shigui was expelled from the Su Family Army because of this?"

The Grand Princess was about to be pissed off by this stupid daughter. If something like this happened, and the person involved wasn't Duke Zhenguo Su Mo, why didn't she just hide it? Wouldn't it become known to everyone?

Princess Corning nodded in agreement.

"Snapped"

The Grand Princess still slapped her, and Princess Kangning covered her face and cried bitterly.

"No wonder, no wonder that Su family kid had that expression on his face. Did I actually act like a clown? Well, you really are my good daughter."

The eldest princess was so angry that she gritted her teeth and ordered people to put Princess Kangning in solitary confinement.

When Marquis Pingyang heard that his son and Princess Kangning were actually husband and wife, it was as if a big pie had fallen from the sky, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He pretended to scold his son: "Hey, you little bastard, how could you offend Princess Kangning? This child, hey! How can I say hello to you? It's totally inappropriate."

He paced back and forth excitedly, his eyes rolling around, rubbing his hands together and muttering to himself, "Should I go directly to the house to propose marriage? Or should I take this kid with me and ask for forgiveness?"

Chen Shigui was scolded by his father, and he chuckled and said, "Dad, Princess Kangning is now completely devoted to her son, so this matter is definitely a done deal.

My son's future still depends on the support of the Grand Princess's Mansion, right?

If you force your son to apologize, this matter will be impossible to conceal. It doesn't matter to your son, but it will be embarrassing for Princess Kangning. Dad, she is still a little girl.

Pingyang Hou thought so too. Princess Kangning would be his daughter-in-law in the future, so reputation was naturally important. Besides, they were getting married, not making enemies.

So he glared at his son cheerfully: "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already siding with your wife?"

Then he thought of Su Mo and sneered in his heart.

Humph! So what if his son was expelled from the army? Without the marriage of the Duke of Zhenguo, his son is still a county horse.

Marquis Pingyang suppressed his joy and went to the Grand Princess's residence to propose marriage with a serious face. However, the Grand Princess didn't even let him in.

After hearing the news, Princess Kangning rushed into the Grand Princess's room and said, "Mother, are you going to stop until your daughter loses all face and reputation?

To tell you the truth, we were like husband and wife all the way back from the border, and I must be pregnant with my brother-in-law's child."

The eldest princess was furious. She glared at Princess Kangning fiercely and said, "You are such an ignorant person! How dare you say that?"

Princess Kangning thought to herself: Do I know how to behave myself? Isn't it you, mother, who taught me this?

But seeing her mother's murderous expression, she softened her tone and said, "Mother, please, let me marry my brother-in-law. Although the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion is in decline, he is in charge of the Street Office after all, and he is an elder in front of His Majesty. He is still of some use, right?"

Princess Kangning knew that marrying Chen Shigui was the best outcome for her now.

Su Mo didn't dare to think about it. If she married someone else who didn't care about her virginity, she would just be marrying down.

It would be better to marry Chen Shigui.

Thinking of her brother-in-law's kindness and tenderness, Princess Kangning made up her mind.

She said, "I know mother wants military power. My brother-in-law said he can go to the Xishan Camp. He has experience in marching and fighting, and he has been a general. If he goes to the Xishan Camp, he will definitely have a chance to make a name for himself."

The eldest princess's fierce eyes flickered when she heard about the Xishan camp.

Looking at Princess Kangning's current state, using her for marriage to control the Su family army is ultimately a failure.

Well, the Xishan Camp is still of some use.

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know that Chen Shigui was expelled from the army by Su Mo. Given his current situation, I'm afraid I'll have to intervene if he wants to go to the Xishan camp. Otherwise, if he wants to join the army, it's impossible."

Princess Kangning was immediately surprised and asked, "Mother, you agreed?"

My daughter's heart is with someone else. What else can I do if I don't agree?

The Grand Princess glanced at her and said impatiently, "Tell Chen Shigui that since he wants to go to the Xishan Camp, he must take control of the Xishan Camp. If he can't do that, he will die."

"Yes, mother, don't worry, brother-in-law will definitely be able to do it."

The eldest princess was upset and snorted coldly, "Hmph, since you are marrying into the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, the Zihu token is useless to you. Give it to me."

Kang Ning's expression changed, and the eldest princess's eyes became sharp, "What? Why don't you bring it over?"
