This month, Jun Zechen devoted himself to the preparations for the expedition. He was so busy every day that he almost worked around the clock.

Su Jingyao seldom saw him, so naturally he knew nothing about the birth of Xu Ronghua and Yan Ronghua.

In addition, Jun Zechen had specifically instructed Anshun not to bother him with matters concerning the harem and to leave everything to the queen to handle.

So even if Anshun knew about this, he did not mention it.

When Jun Zechen heard the news from her, he knew that he had two new princes, but his face did not show any ripples.

He uttered a soft "hmm".

"Although only a concubine can raise an heir to the throne, I do not want Xu Ronghua and Yan Ronghua to be separated from their son. In this case, I would like to change this rule."

Su Jingyao slightly turned sideways and looked at Jun Zechen with questioning eyes.

"I am going to promote the two Rong Huas to the position of the head of a palace. As long as they are the head of a palace, they can personally raise the heir. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Well, Yaoyao can make the decision."

Jun Zechen was probably really tired. He rested his head on Su Jingyao's shoulder and put one hand intimately around Su Jingyao's waist.

Her eyes were slightly closed, with her long eyelashes lightly covering her eyes, as if she was resting.

"Yan Ronghua's father is a Guanglu doctor, and the Yan family is also a prominent family. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has made great contributions by giving birth to an imperial heir. She can also be the head of the nine concubines, Zhaoyi, and live in the main hall of Yuqing Palace."

Su Jingyao's voice was soft and calm.

Yuqing Palace was originally the palace of Concubine Lan, but a few days ago Concubine Lan was deposed and imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, so Yuqing Palace became empty.

"Xu Ronghua's family background was not so good, so he was named Xiurong and lived in the main hall of Changle Palace."

Changle Palace was previously where the guilty concubine Lin lived, and the main hall happened to be vacant.

Among them, Princess Yafu of Yuelin Kingdom, also known as Yajieyu, lived in the Zi Lan Hall of Changle Palace.

I don’t know if Jun Zechen listened carefully to what she said, he just nodded slightly.

Since he had no objection, Su Jingyao would go to the study to write the imperial edict later.

A few days later, today is the day when Jun Zechen sets out for the battle.

Su Jingyao, dressed in gorgeous and solemn attire as a queen, came to the top of the city gate.

She wore a dazzling phoenix crown with swaying pearls and jade, sparkling with brilliant light, and every step she took seemed to be pouring out with brilliant light.

The phoenix robe on her body fluttered gently in the wind, but it could not hide the worry and concern between her brows.

Outside the city gate, fluttering flags fluttered wildly in the wind, making loud noises, as if heralding the coming bloody storm.

Jun Zechen was wearing thick and shining armor. The patterns on the armor flashed coldly under the sunlight, like cold stars.

He stood as tall and straight as a pine tree, and looked heroic, like a god of war descending to earth, intimidating.

The warhorse under his crotch seemed to sense the upcoming journey, and its hooves kept stamping the ground.

He was restless, snorting, and spewing white air, as if he couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield.

Jun Zechen raised his head slightly and looked at Su Jingyao who was high up at the city gate.

His eyes were as deep as the sea and as firm as iron, revealing his deep reluctance and attachment to Su Jingyao.

When I went to war as a young man, I only brought with me a sense of longing and the joy of being away from the gossips of the capital.

But now because she is in the capital, I feel particularly reluctant to leave.

Su Jingyao always had a gentle smile on her face, the corners of her mouth raised to just the right angle, and her eyes were shining.

She and Jun Zechen looked at each other. No words were needed. Their feelings were conveyed to each other in their eye contact.

Jun Zechen could feel that she admired his determination to expand the territory, and he would definitely return triumphantly and bring her glory.

Afterwards, Jun Zechen turned his head suddenly and quickly, looking at the high-spirited soldiers behind him.

He held his sword high, his arm stretched out, and the blade gleamed in the sun.

He shouted loudly: "My fellow soldiers! We are going to fight to expand our territory and enhance our national prestige! I will lead you back in triumph!"

His voice was loud and powerful, like a huge bell, full of inspiring energy, and every word seemed to carry a tremendous force.

The soldiers responded in unison: "We are willing to follow Your Majesty and win every battle and every attack!"

The sound was deafening and went straight into the sky, as if it was going to tear the sky apart.

Jun Zechen squeezed the horse's belly with great force.

The war horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and then galloped away into the distance, raising a cloud of dust.

Miaoyun followed her master out of the palace to bid farewell to His Majesty, and saw the sadness of parting on her master's face.

With the slightly drooping mouth corners and dull eyes, Miaoyun didn't know how to comfort him.

Over the past year, Your Majesty has been so good to the master.

Miaoyun also seemed to feel that her master had developed deeper feelings for His Majesty.

But before Miaoyun could figure out how to comfort her master.

Su Jingyao immediately said, "Let's go, Miaoyun, let's go to the carriage and change into our palace clothes."

Her tone was light and the sadness on her face seemed to disappear instantly.

Miaoyun looked confused.

"Master, aren't we going back to the palace?"

"And did the master bring any clothes with him?"

How could she not know?

"Well, I asked Miaoxia to prepare folk women's clothing. Today we will play outside the palace before going back."

There was a hint of excitement in Su Jingyao's eyes, and she was a little excited.

Miaoyun looked at her master's slightly suppressed happiness and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

She thought her master was really reluctant to let her go!
