Chapter 173 The Crown Prince's High-Energy Workday Vlog (Part 1)
On the day Gu Linji turned sixteen, she was officially canonized as the Crown Prince.
"Mother, you don't know that at the time, those old ministers all petitioned that it was against the rules. They said that since ancient times, the crown prince had always been a prince, and how could a girl like me take the position?"
After Lin Ji came in, he happily told the story, and then continued to gloat:
"But Father just watched them quietly, and after they finished talking, he just said..."
Lin Ji's face hardened, he cleared his throat and imitated, "I have made up my mind."
After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu turned around and asked, "So they're not going to object anymore?"
Her hometown has only produced one empress in the past five thousand years, which shows how difficult it is.
"How is that possible! Immediately, several disrespectful elders attempted to commit suicide in the hall to stop this."
"Father told them to line up and not die all at once. It would be too smelly when it gets hot."
Zhao Mingzhu burst out laughing after hearing this. Gu Qingheng sometimes had a very poisonous tongue.
Gu Linji approached Zhao Mingzhu and acted coquettishly:
"Mother, I have come to say goodbye to you."
Zhao Mingzhu didn't understand what was going on, she only heard Lin Ji say:
"They don't submit to me simply because they think I'm a little short of flesh. Naturally, they also think I'm weaker than men and can't compare to them."
Lin Ji leaned against Zhao Mingzhu and whispered:
"Then I must show them that I am no less capable than any man! So I have already asked my father for permission to join the army on the frontier.
I will assemble my own men there, fight the enemy, charge into battle, and when the time is right, I will return to the capital in glory."
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Lin Ji. Although he was such a young child, he was full of ambition and ambition when talking about going into battle and killing the enemy.
At this moment, all the childishness in Gu Linji disappeared, and he was left with the sharpness of a sword drawn from its sheath, ready to strike.
She is not only his daughter, but also the crown prince of this country and the future monarch of thousands of subjects.
Gu Linji will become a soaring eagle.
Zhao Mingzhu touched her forehead and held her in her arms:
"Go ahead. I don't understand any of this, but I support all your decisions."
Even if the casualties are unknown.
"Thank you, mother. Your support is of vital importance to me."
Gu Linji hugged her neck and whispered:
"Your son will reverse the situation, with the dragon in front and the phoenix behind, and the Qian on top and the Kun below."
Zhao Mingzhu lowered her head and kissed him: "Mother believes in you."
…
This trip lasted for three years, and Zhao Mingzhu was always paying attention to the news from the border. Although Gu Linji would only report good news and not bad news, Zhao Mingzhu would secretly go to the imperial study to read the battle reports.
In the first month after Gu Linji left, the Mu tribe attacked... She was shot in the left chest.
Gu Linji was gone for half a year... He led a small team in a surprise attack and was shot in the back during the retreat.
One year and two months after Gu Linji left, the enemy counterattacked. She led the counterattack, defeated the enemy with a smaller force.
But this time, if An Yun's daughter had not provided timely support, she would have almost died from excessive bleeding while fighting with the enemy.
Every time Zhao Mingzhu read the letter, she would burst into tears, deeply hating herself for not being able to be strategic enough and help her daughter.
I could only watch her struggle alone, covered in wounds.
Zhao Mingzhu even thought about letting her daughter come back, even if she could be an uneducated princess.
I just want her to be safe.
But when Zhao Mingzhu picked up the pen to write the letter, in the end all she could do was remind people to put on more clothes because it was cold and to be careful.
Finally, three years later, Gu Linji returned with the glorious military exploits of penetrating deep into the enemy's heart three times and successfully taking the heads of the nomadic tribe.
On the day she returned to Beijing, Zhao Mingzhu got up early and went to greet her with An Yun and Gu Yu.
In a restaurant in the capital, Zhao Mingzhu looked at the surging crowd below and listened to the people talking about how brave the crown prince was. She shared the honor.
An Yun rubbed her hands excitedly: "Mingzhu, I didn't know our child had become darker and thinner. I'm so looking forward to it."
By the way, one year after Gu Linji was born, An Yun also gave birth to a daughter and named her An Jing.
It means that the mind is like a mirror, clear and bright.
Mothers and fathers are good friends, and children also do so from a young age.
When Gu Linji left, An Jing secretly followed him.
At this moment, there were also questioning voices among the crowd.
"I think she's just bragging about her achievements. Can she be so amazing?"
"Actually, I think so too, and it's not just her fault."
An Yun's fist hardened, and Gu Yu stopped her:
"Don't worry, I'm prepared."
Someone approached the two men, covered their mouths with one hand each, and dragged them away. Zhao Mingzhu and the other two could see it clearly from upstairs.
They dragged him into a dark alley, and the gossiper received dozens of slaps in the face.
An Yun admired and said, "It has to be you. Why didn't I think of this, Gu Yu?"
Gu Yu blew on the armor:
"I've arranged for people to be stationed on this street. If anyone says something rude, my people will strike back immediately."
"It works, it works!" An Yun gave a thumbs up.
During these years of hanging out with Zhao Mingzhu, Gu Yu and An Yun have learned a lot of lyrics, and now they can both master them.
Zhao Mingzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. That was a good thing, as it saved her from having to lift the bench and go up herself.
When Gu Linji appeared riding a tall horse, there was an uproar at the scene.
There was nothing wrong with Gu Linji wearing armor, but her shaved head, stubble, dark skin, and scar on her brow made her look fierce.
The same was true for An Jing behind her, and even her personal soldiers.
"Didn't they say the Crown Prince is a woman? How come he's neither male nor female?"
"Yes, I thought it would be a beautiful female general, returning to the capital with beautiful female soldiers."
At this moment, an old lady in the crowd suddenly shouted:
"You idiot with a rotten tongue and no asshole, we're going to war, not to judge the world's most beautiful woman! If you can't speak, get out of your father's little chicken coop and get retrained!"
In recent years, because the crown prince is a girl, certain things in various places have begun to loosen up.
There were even three girls who passed the entrance exam to the Imperial College.
No one will fail to protect a situation that is favorable to him.
For themselves, for their daughters, and for the future, some of them are also working hard.
Zhao Mingzhu watched this scene, and as more and more people cheered, she started to applaud.
From beginning to end, whether she was cheered or questioned, Gu Linji remained calm.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
An Jing smiled and gestured around, and caught a bunch of grapes that flew towards him.
"I kind of want to..."
Gu Linji paused and said, "Shit."
An Jing's smile froze: "You can't poop in the street. This is not a borderland where no one will care."
Gu Linji still had no expression on his face: "So I'm just enduring it?"
Why haven't I finished this walk yet? Are the streets in Beijing really that long?!
Just then, Gu Linji passed by the restaurant where Zhao Mingzhu was. The mother and daughter seemed to be in sync, and she looked up.
After seeing Zhao Mingzhu, he smiled in surprise, Mother!
Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhu nodded and pointed to the palace, indicating that she should wait for her there.
Gu Linji nodded vigorously.
Zhao Mingzhu felt sad, as if she was soaking in water.
Leaning on Gu Yu's shoulder: "I'm so heartbroken, she has lost a lot of weight!"
And An Yun also sighed and said, "My Ah Jing has lost a lot of weight too. The more I see him, the more distressed I feel."
Gu Yu patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I can bring it back."
