As soon as the Queen Mother said that, Minglang understood.

This was to let her go to the military camp to gain some experience first, in preparation for going to the army after her coming-of-age ceremony.

"Okay, the temperature in the capital is just right right now. I plan to live in the barracks, eat and live with the soldiers, and experience the life that my mother once lived at the border."

The decision to send troops was a tacit understanding between mother and daughter, and there was no need to tell anyone.

"Yes, if you need anything, feel free to come back to the palace and find me."

The child has grown up, and Liang Chongyue is ready to let go. The world is vast, and Minglang still wants to go out and explore the world.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. I knew you were the best to me."

No one knows better than Minglang how much those magic pills are worth.

Liang Chongyue sat on the Luohan bed and let Minglang lean against her.

The sweet fragrance of the young girl lingered around her. With her well-behaved daughter by her side, Liang Chongyue leaned back on the couch in great relaxation, wishing only that time would pass more slowly.

After Minglang came out of the Yangxin Palace, he said goodbye to the Empress Dowager, packed up some things and went to the camp outside the capital.

It happened that the newly appointed Duke Dingguo was inspecting the camp. As soon as Minglang dismounted from his horse, the officials on duty came to meet him.

"Greetings, Prince Bao. This is a strategic location in the military camp. I wonder who Prince Bao is looking for?"

Minglang took out the badge from his waist and handed it over, and the gate of the military camp opened for her.

Two very familiar-looking people walked out of the largest tent.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Minglang quickly stepped forward and helped one of them up.

"Your Excellency, General Qi, you are too polite."

Minglang simply explained the reason:

"I'm new here, where would be the best place for me?"

Duke Dingguo and General Qi exchanged a glance. They had more or less heard about Prince Bao's methods, which were no less than those of the former emperor.

"Your Highness, the royal family will suffer if they come to the military camp."

Minglang waved his hand nonchalantly.

"The Queen Mother was able to fight her way through the border and take the head of the Northern Emperor. I am the Queen Mother's child. What is this little hardship to me?"

Seeing Prince Bao's insistence, Duke Dingguo and General Qi looked at each other and had some guesses about the matter.

Prince Bao's coming to the military camp for training was probably just a cover, but they still didn't know what His Majesty was going to do.

"Your Highness has great ambitions, and we admire you. Please rest in the tent for a while. Later, I will introduce you to the army you have trained and the resting tent."

Minglang did not refuse and followed the two into the tent.

Although the suburban camp is close to the capital, the things inside the tents are simple, with the most being weapons and sand tables.

Half of the entire tent was occupied by four large sand tables, on which were traces of troop deployments.

"Your Highness, please rest here for a moment. If you need anything, please let me know."

Minglang's attention was drawn to the sand tables. Seeing the two people about to leave, he waved his hand:

"Don't worry about me, just go and do your own thing."

Seeing that Prince Bao was fascinated by the sand table, the two men quietly retreated and went to another tent.

Minglang's attention was drawn to a smaller sand table, which was a topographic map of the countries west of Daxia. Because the countries were small, even if all these countries were put together, the sand table would not be as big as Daxia's sand table.

Minglang ran his slender fingers over the names of these countries. Within the time it took to stick up an incense stick, he had already thought of seven or eight ways of attacking.

As I thought about it, I felt a little impatient.

Waiting for those half-dead people to be dragged to the battlefield to witness the spectacle of the country's demise, such a scene will surely make them remember it for several lifetimes.

Duke Dingguo and General Qi were sitting in the next tent. After sending away the other generals, they looked at each other, but General Qi did not speak.

Duke Dingguo is the Empress Dowager's elder brother. Prince Bao came to the military camp without any news. Duke Dingguo was the only one who could get a glimpse of the inside story of this matter.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I just found out about this after seeing His Highness."

The tea in the hands of the two people went from hot to cold, and when they picked it up again, it was already cold.

"No matter what your Highness's reason for coming, your Highness's coming-of-age ceremony will be in ten days, and you should be back by then. The most urgent matter now is to find a place for your Highness to rest tonight and a team to accompany the army tomorrow."

There are female generals in the military camp, but it was only after His Majesty relaxed the policy prohibiting women from joining the army that the girls from the generals' families generally did not stay in the military camp.

"My daughter's tent is quite clean and tidy. How about letting Your Highness stay there?"

General Qi racked his brains for a long time and finally came to this conclusion. As for where to arrange His Highness, he really hadn't figured it out yet.

"Tell your daughter to come early tomorrow and accompany His Highness in the military camp for the next few days. As for which team she will go to."

Duke Dingguo was silent for a moment. He did have an idea, but he didn't know whether His Highness was willing.

"This matter still needs to be decided after consulting His Highness. I will go ask him now. Please pass on the order and have them restrain themselves for the next few days and not offend His Highness."

After saying that, the two men stood up, left the tent, and went their separate ways at the door.

Minglang finished two cups of tea. The tea had a sweet taste. I wonder if it was because of the mountain spring water.

"Your Highness, I have already divided up the tents for you. Please come with me to take a look. If you are not satisfied with anything, we can make some improvements while it is still early."

Minglang lifted the door curtain from the inside and Duke Dingguo was waiting outside.

"You are too polite, Duke. Now that I am here, I will naturally integrate with the soldiers. There is no need to treat me with special care."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Huayan remembered that when he was at the border, the late emperor sent people to transport food and fodder, and also sent a lot of livestock. This was the first time he fought such a rich war, and that was when Your Majesty was here.

The daughters of the royal family will receive special care wherever they go. His Majesty did not mention it this time, so I guess there are other arrangements.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After sending the people out of the tent, Xiang Huayan went in to take a look first. Apart from a simple bed and bedding, there were few personal belongings. The girl from General Qi's family was clean and efficient in her work, so it was indeed a good idea to choose this room for His Highness.

"Your Highness, please come inside."

Minglang stepped in and took a quick look.

"Is this where the female generals live?"

"Yes, they will stay here when the training is heavy that day. They usually live in the capital."

Minglang nodded silently. Ever since her mother lifted the ban on women joining the army, she had seen female generals in the military camp several times. Half of the 5,000 elite troops given to her by her mother were women.

Although she had not yet worked with them, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work. You will stay here tonight. If there is any inconvenience, you can come to the main account to find me at any time."
