After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Lu Song received an order to go to the outskirts of Beijing for military training. He has been gone for more than ten days, and Wang Min couldn't help but worry about him.

"Your father left in a hurry that day, and I didn't ask him about it. Who knew he never came back once."

"It would take an hour on horseback to get back from the outskirts of Beijing. He's a cruel man, just like he's still at the border. He doesn't miss home at all."

Lu Jiangnian listened quietly and explained at the right time: "The current Beiying Camp in the suburbs of Beijing is no longer the same as it was when the old Duke Xin was still here."

"Although my father and I are at the border, we've heard it all. Since Jiang Qiong took command of the Northern Camp, he's neglected to train his troops. The Northern Camp now has absolutely no fighting power at all."

"The Emperor then ordered Dad to go to the North Camp to restore military discipline."

Although Wang Min did not understand the government, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was a military family, and she knew a little about the inside story of Jiang Qiong commanding the Northern Camp.

Empress Sun passed away when the crown prince was five years old.

After that, the emperor never appointed a new empress, and there were no imperial concubines or noble concubines in the palace. The highest-ranking person was Lady Zhaohua Chen.

Jiang Qiong is Madam Zhaohua's uncle.

Five years ago, the old Duke Xin, who commanded the Northern Camp, fell ill and retired to enjoy his retirement. With no one to command the Northern Camp, the Emperor needed to choose another capable person.

In terms of seniority and ability, it is not even Jiang Qiong's turn.

Unfortunately, Madam Zhaohua had been favored for many years, so the emperor, taking Madam Zhaohua's kindness into consideration, promoted Jiang Qiong to the rank of General Zhenwei, a third-rank official, and appointed him to command the northern camp outside the capital.

Although many people were dissatisfied, no one dared to discuss the matter under the emperor's order.

However, after Jiang Qiong arrived at the North Camp, he was determined to eliminate dissidents and appoint people based on personal connections, which made the North Camp a chaotic place and the former high morale was long gone.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Min is worried.

"Will Jiang Qiong bear a grudge against you for this, thinking that your father has taken away his authority?"

You must know that although Madam Zhaohua is not young anymore, she is still the most favored one in the palace.

Although the emperor trusts Lu Song very much, Wang Min dare not underestimate the power of pillow talk.

Lu Jiangnian shook his head affirmatively: "Mom, you're worrying too much. This matter cannot be blamed on Dad. Dad is only temporarily training the troops for two months. After that, the North Camp will have a new commander."

In this way, Wang Min felt much more at ease.

But, "Why did the emperor suddenly transfer Jiang Qiong away from the North Camp?"

Lu Jiangnian lowered his eyes: "The Holy Heart is hard to fathom, and overthinking is useless."

He did not tell Wang Min that he was the man behind Jiang Qiong's transfer from Beiying.

Before he got married, the reason why Princess Le'an Murong Ling suddenly appeared and stopped people in the street was because the fifth prince Murong Jun was interfering.

Murong Jun is the son of Madam Zhaohua. He is very ambitious and has been fighting openly and secretly with the prince over the years.

He had not yet married, and his maternal grandfather Chen Ben was the Minister of Rites, so he could provide limited help to him in seizing the throne.

Apart from his biological mother, Madam Zhaohua, Murong Jun's greatest support is Jiang Qiong.

Lu Jiangnian is not a good-tempered person, and he will not swallow his anger.

Others have plotted against him. If he doesn't fight back, Murong Ling might think he is a piece of mud and can be manipulated by others.

Jiang Qiong was unpopular, and many people in the Northern Camp held a grudge against him.

The old Duke of Xin has been in charge of the North Camp for many years and has many confidants. Lu Jiangnian and the Duke of Xin's eldest son, Sun Huanzhi, have a good personal relationship.

He contacted several lieutenant generals through Sun Huanzhi and secretly collected evidence of Jiang Qiong's misdeeds over the years.

Afterwards, the lieutenant general led his troops to cause trouble, and a major incident occurred in the North Camp. The emperor had to intervene in the matter.

Although the troublemakers would inevitably be punished, Jiang Qiong would not get away with it either.

Those lieutenant generals were not fools. They knew that if they continued to stay under Jiang Qiong, they would never have a chance to make a name for themselves. They might be dragged out by Jiang Qiong at any time and used as scapegoats.

Since that’s the case, we might as well give it a try, replace someone else in charge of the North Camp, and seek a bright future.

The emperor is a wise ruler. Even though he dotes on Madam Zhaohua, he will not joke about military and political affairs.

Things turned out just as Lu Jiangnian had expected. After the incident, the emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation and found that none of the charges against Jiang Qiong were false.

The emperor was so angry that he immediately issued an order to deprive Jiang Qiong of his authority to command the Northern Camp and ordered him to return to the Jiang family and reflect on his mistakes.

If it weren't for Madam Zhaohua and Murong Jun, Jiang Qiong would have been in great danger.

Precisely because of these considerations, Jiang Qiong's affairs were not made public, and many people did not know the inside story.

Wang Min is a cautious person. If she wasn't facing her son, she would never have asked the question just now.

It’s better to talk less about the affairs of the court.

She thought of another thing: "You are already married, don't just focus on things outside and neglect Wanru."

"Tomorrow is Qixi Festival. After going to Xiangyuan Temple, you can accompany Wanru to the night market. There will be a temple fair tomorrow night. You can spend some time there before coming back."

Lu Jiangnian thought about how that person had lied to him and felt uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything.

At this time, the maid at the door called out, "The eldest young lady and Miss Liang are here."

Wang Min laughed: "It's really not necessary to mention her. As soon as I mentioned her, she came."

Two young women came in together. Liang Yusong had a ladylike demeanor and was pretty and charming, but Lu Jiangnian's eyes immediately fell on Yuan Wanru, and he didn't even spare a glance for Liang Yusong.

What is this woman wearing!

Her red dress made her skin look like cream, her eyes were like water, her eyes were full of spirit, her red lips were covered with a comfortable and relaxed smile, and her every move was full of an inexplicable allure.

The brown ribbon around her waist perfectly showcases her exquisite and charming figure.

Her waist was so thin that it seemed like it would break if bent, and her clothes were tightly attached to her chest, making it bulge out. Her movements were charming and nimble, and her natural charm made his face burn and hot.

Lu Jiangnian's gaze was too intense. Yuan Wanru seemed to sense something and looked over, unable to help but be stunned.

The pair of black eyes stared at her, with flames in them, and her heart skipped a beat.

Then, she discovered that the focus of his gaze seemed to be her chest...

Ah, I thought he was a pure man, but he turned out to be a pervert!

She glared at him fiercely and said silently, "Don't look."

Lu Jiangnian could tell what she meant from her lip shape. He glared at her unhappily. He was just a little overwhelmed. Did she think he wanted to see?

Even though he was not allowed to see it, he insisted on seeing it.

It made her never want to wear such tight clothes again.

He frowned and looked at the bulging chest. He didn't know what the embroiderer in the mansion was doing. She took measurements for the clothes, but her measurements were not accurate at all. Didn't she know to give a little more allowance?

Which embroiderer made these clothes?

I can't even do this little thing.

Yuan Wanru discovered that Lu Jiangnian did not look away at all, but was still staring at her chest. Such a straightforward look made her face turn red, and she didn't know whether it was out of anger or shame.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat ambiguous, so they didn't hear what Wang Min said.

Wang Min called out twice but didn't hear any response from Lu Jiangnian. Then she realized that the couple were exchanging glances and their eyes were glued to each other.

Really...

Don't you see what kind of occasion this is and that there are outsiders present?

Wang Min cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Jiang Nian, can you hear me?"

Lu Jiangnian finally came to his senses and realized what he had just done. Facing his mother's teasing gaze, he felt a rare sense of discomfort.

I've been bewitched by Yuan Wanru.

Wang Min smiled meaningfully: "I won't keep you here any longer. You should go back to Lingshuiju as soon as possible."

Yuan Wanru cursed inwardly, blaming Lu Jiangnian for looking around.

Mother deliberately thought that they were in love and couldn't help but be sticky with each other in Wangchun Hall, so she hurriedly drove them back to Lingshuiju.

Lu Jiangnian also guessed it, and actually said at the same time as her: "No rush, we will have dinner and then come back."

"Mom, I want to eat the food in your small kitchen."

Wang Min laughed out loud: "Okay, I'll come back after I eat."

Liang Yusong had long been as stiff as a sculpture. She tried hard to maintain a decent smile. Where no one could see, she hid her hands in her sleeves, clenched until they turned white.

It turned out that Liang Yusong had just suggested that he wanted to go to Xiangyuan Temple tomorrow and asked Wang Min to arrange a carriage.

Liang Yusong temporarily lived in the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, and also helped Madam Lu with her illnesses several times, and was indebted to the Lu family.

Lu Jiangnian and his wife are also going to Xiangyuan Temple tomorrow. Since it is on the way, Liang Yusong will have to go with them for both moral and logical reasons.

Liang Yusong looked at Lu Jiangnian shyly: "Tomorrow, I'll trouble you, Brother Lu."

She was born with a pretty and delicate appearance, and her manners were elegant and dignified. The shyness when she lowered her head was quite charming.

Yuan Wanru looked at Liang Yusong's expression with interest, then looked at Lu Jiangnian who was as still as a mountain, and sneered in her heart, is he acting like a gentleman again?

Liang Yusong was afraid that the drunkard's real intention was not to drink.

Going to Xiangyuan Temple was fake, the real purpose was to go out with Lu Jiangnian.
