After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"Instead of sitting in the palace, blinding yourself, and letting those court officials talk to themselves, proclaiming the prosperous times."

"Is the world at peace? What's the current situation in the military camp? Father should go and see for himself!"

Emperor Yong:........

Emperor Yong was silent for a moment, then said, "You go ahead and let me think about it!"

"Yes, I am resigning!"

After saying this, Zhong Ning bowed deeply and walked out of the palace directly.

Emperor Yong sat on the dragon throne, looking at Zhong Ning Yuanli's back with a deep gaze, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Come here, summon General Cheng, Minister of War Pei Zhou, and Prime Minister Gu to the palace for an audience!"

"According to the order!"

"Wait," Emperor Yong thought for a moment, then added, "Call Fang Ping as well!"

"Yes!"

........

Zhong Ning left the Qinzheng Hall and returned to the Xianfu Palace.

At this point, the topic of conversation between the mother and her two daughters had changed from returning to their original identities to discussing Xu Weiniang in today's storybook.

After reading the storybook, Concubine Wu felt extremely sad and cursed the uncle Li Qing in the storybook.

This damn bastard wants it all.

Such a good girl was plotted to death.

Murong Lan was also filled with righteous indignation. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

When Zhong Ning stepped into the palace, he saw that Murong Xin had changed into her former princess attire. She looked bright, elegant and graceful.

Murong Lan, on the other hand, has a gentle temperament. After changing into the clothes she is familiar with, she looks like a delicate narcissus, exceptionally pure and lovely.

The 50% resemblance between the two eyebrows and eyes is made even more obvious by the two completely different temperaments and styles.

From today onwards, Murong Xin will still be her Princess Zhaoyang, and Murong Lan will be at ease being her Princess Anle.

"Mother, I don't care. I also want the Princess's Mansion. I want to live next door to Sister Zhaohua..."

Concubine Wu sighed deeply. "Before, you wanted to be a princess and took away the house of the Minister of Revenue. Now that you are a princess again, do you want to take away the house again?"

"But I also compensated him with my original mansion..." Murong Xin replied silently.

"Don't be willful. Who would be willing to give up the mansion they are familiar with? This kind of thing, once is enough. Mother and Concubine will ask your father to choose another mansion for you!"

"Then, don't stay too far away from Sister Zhaohua..." Murong Xin pulled Concubine Wu's sleeve and said coquettishly.

"Okay, whatever you say..." Concubine Wu smiled and patted Murong Xin's hand. Then she turned her gaze to Zhong Ning and asked, "Zhaohua, I want to ask you, is there something you meant by this storybook?"

Concubine Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had guessed who the person was hinting at.

Zhong Ning smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, you have a keen eye! Zhaohua admires you!"

Hearing Zhong Ning say this, Murong Xin and Murong Lan both widened their eyes. This story in the book was actually a true story?

Suddenly, Murong Xin remembered that some time ago, Zhong Ning attended the 60th birthday party of the old lady of the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion...

The name of Lord Chengyang seemed to be Zhan Qing.

Zhan Qing? Li Qing?

Could it be... ?

Zhong Ning nodded, and Murong Xin immediately felt that he had discovered the truth.

"In that case, it's really a pity for that lady of the earl's family!" Murong Xin said tentatively.

Murong Lan also nodded silently.

Although she didn't know much about matters of the heart, this was the first time she had seen anyone in this book dare to scheme against a woman like this, and she felt extremely disgusted.

"What's that?" Zhong Ning said with a faint smile, "These are just small scenes. I'll write a few more later, and then you'll truly gain more knowledge."

"Well, I've been in the palace for quite some time now," Zhong Ning stood up and bowed to Concubine Wu. "Your Majesty, Zhaohua will take his leave first!"

"It's already noon, you should at least have your meal before leaving!" Concubine Wu complained, "You haven't been to the palace for a long time, and now you're in such a hurry, don't leave. After dinner, take Lan'er with you so she can get familiar with her own mansion."

Murong Lan was suddenly frightened!

Although she was 50% similar to Princess Zhaoyang, the marriage failed after all, and she suddenly became Princess Anle and had her own mansion.

Such glory was something she had never dared to imagine before.

In addition, Princess Zhaoyang suddenly returned to the palace and said that she wanted to be herself again and would not allow her to marry in a foreign marriage, which made Murong Lan feel even more ashamed.

Being able to avoid a marriage alliance is certainly a good thing, but she still has a concern for Li Yuanche, the prince of Western Rong who is far away in the sky.

But this concern gradually dissipated amidst my nostalgia for my hometown and my mother.

Just as Sister Zhaohua said, there are so many men in the world. Now that she has reached such an honorable position, what's the harm in having a few concubines?

Are all women in the world really only able to settle down in their own homes and compete with a group of other women for a husband?

She thought a lot during this period of time.

He is just a man, there are many of him in the world, and what's more, this marriage incident was caused by Li Yuanche.

When Murong Lan thought of this, she felt her mind seemed to become clearer.

Concubine Wu originally wanted to let Murong Lan go out of the palace to relax. She felt that it was tiring to accompany her in the palace for such a long time. However, she saw Zhong Ning directly said, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate!"

"If they were in the palace, everyone who knew them would know the truth. But in the Princess's Mansion, there are still a group of people who are only familiar with Xin'er. They are not fools. The two have very different personalities. How can we convince them by replacing them after entering the palace?"

"If Zhaoyang is determined to regain his status and is willing to bear any consequences in the future, then I can only ask Lan'er to go to the royal temple first and stay there for three months in the name of praying for the country."

"In this way, by being influenced by the teachings of Buddhism, one's temperament will change drastically, becoming chaste, peaceful, and docile from then on. Only then will one be able to silence the gossips of the masses."

Concubine Wu nodded secretly, "Zhaohua is really thoughtful! Lan'er!" Concubine Wu took Murong Lan's hand and earnestly instructed: "I'm sorry to have troubled you during this period... You should stay in the palace for now, and I will report to the emperor and make a decision!"

Murong Lan shook her head slightly and replied gently: "My Lady, Lan'er is not wronged!"

After just three months of praying, she emerged as the real Princess Anle, with her own mansion and servants, and on equal footing with her elder sister Murong Huan.

Moreover, there is no need for another marriage. How could she feel wronged about such a good thing?

"I will invite your aunt into the palace in the next two days so that you and your daughter can have a good time reminiscing about the past!"

Murong Lan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

.......

In the Qinzheng Hall.

When Minister of War Pei Zhou heard that Emperor Yong wanted him to make a reform plan based on the current situation of the military camp, he was immediately surprised!

It's not a festival this year, why does Your Majesty suddenly want to attack the military camp?

Prime Minister Gu's eyes were also cold. His Majesty was so praising those warriors that he actually bypassed him and attacked the military camp directly. Wouldn't the warriors have to compete with them as civil officials in the court in the future?
