The next day.
Su Lijin got dressed and went straight to the imperial study.
Xiao Shengxing picked up his pen and reviewed the memorials. There were many memorials that he had already reviewed on the desk. It was obvious that he had been sitting here for a long time.
This was the scene Su Lijin saw when she entered the room. She walked to Xiao Shengxing and started grinding ink.
"Yan'er, why did you think of grinding ink for me today?" Xiao Shengxing asked without raising his head.
Hearing this, Su Lijin sighed and deliberately put on a very bored expression: "Your Majesty, I am really bored."
"Boring? Where do you want to go to appreciate the flowers again, Yan'er?" Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but joked when he thought of the last time he went to the peach blossom forest.
Su Lijin shook her head: "I'll get tired of admiring flowers every day. I have an idea for a place, but I don't know if the emperor would agree to let me go."
"Oh? Where do you want to go, Yan'er? Is there any place that requires my permission?" Xiao Shengxing paused and looked over at her sideways because of her curiosity.
Seeing that Xiao Shengxing had finally been brought up on this topic, Su Lijin immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Military camp!"
Xiao Shengxing looked at her in surprise: "What does Yan'er want to do in the military camp?"
"Of course, I'm going to inspect the military camp."
Su Lijin suggested, "I also want to see how strong our military is."
"Okay then, let's go to the military camp." Xiao Shengxing thought for a moment and closed the memorial.
Su Lijin was delighted and walked out first.
Concubine Shu learned about this from the palace maid and hurried to the carriage: "Your Majesty, wait for me."
She said loudly and shamelessly, "I have never been to a military camp before, and I also want to go and broaden my horizons."
Concubine Shu stopped in front of the carriage, and Su Lijin couldn't help but curl her lips.
Xiao Shengxing's voice came from the carriage: "Then let's go together in the carriage at the back."
Soon, the group arrived at the military camp.
At this time, military training was going on in the camp. Soldiers and generals were almost all shirtless, training under the sun, with their muscles completely exposed, which made people blush.
Su Lijin's eyes lit up slightly. She rarely had the chance to see such a scene on ordinary days.
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes darkened slightly, and his heart ached inexplicably. He moved sideways in front of Su Lijin, blocking her view, and said in a deep voice, "Yan'er, close your eyes."
Seeing this, Su Lijin felt amused, raised the corner of her mouth, and deliberately joked: "Your Majesty, do you smell anything?"
Xiao Shengxing frowned: "What's that smell?"
Su Lijin laughed heartily: "The sour taste of lemon is almost making my teeth fall out."
After taking a look at her, Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but curl his thin lips.
That joke made Xiao Shengxing feel much better.
She thought to herself that no matter what, men would mind if the women in their harem looked at other men.
This may have nothing to do with love or not, it’s just a man’s sense of sovereignty.
Putting his thoughts aside, looking at the soldiers in the training ground, Su Lijin suggested: "Your Majesty, since we are here to inspect the military camp, why not let them have a duel to see how strong the soldiers are."
This proposal was immediately agreed to by Xiao Shengxing. He nodded and said, "It has always been customary to watch the martial arts competitions when inspecting the military camps. Then Yan'er will sit with me and watch."
When inspecting a military camp, one usually checks the military discipline in the camp and sees whether the soldiers have trained properly.
Watching them compete, you can naturally see the results of their training.
Concubine Shu glanced at Su Lijin, snorted, and sat down below them.
She followed Xiao Shengxing all the way to the military camp, never leaving his side, fearing that Su Lijin would snatch away some benefits.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look at the soldiers on the training ground.
The group sat down on the dam, and the soldiers below began to compete.
They knew that the emperor was coming to inspect, so they fought even harder, wanting to show their best strength.
After all, everyone knows that this is an opportunity to be appreciated by the emperor.
The soldiers took the weapons on the training ground and fought one-on-one to finally determine the final winner.
Fruits and cakes were soon placed on the dam. Su Lijin ate the fruit while her eyes wandered around the place.
She came to the military camp this time not just to inspect the camp.
Inspecting the military camp was just a cover. Her real purpose this time was to get Zhao Heng into the palace.
How could she get Zhao Heng into the palace?
Su Lijin took a bite of the fruit and felt a little helpless.
Concubine Shu looked at the soldiers competing in the arena and suddenly laughed sweetly. She said, "Your Majesty, it's so boring just for soldiers to compete. Why not let the generals compete too to see who is stronger?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shengxing's expression remained unchanged. Before he could express his opinion, Su Lijin beside him suddenly looked up, her eyes moving. She smiled and agreed, "Shufei is right. It would be a good idea to let the generals compete and see who is better."
Hahahaha, God is helping me!
At this moment, Su Lijin really wanted to praise Concubine Shu. Her suggestion gave her a very good opportunity for Zhao Heng to show himself!
She was worried, but she didn't expect that it was Concubine Shu who brought this opportunity to her.
At this moment, she was really glad that Concubine Shu had the nerve to follow her, otherwise, she would probably still be thinking of a solution.
When Concubine Shu saw Su Lijin looking at her with a smile, she felt unhappy.
It was unbelievable that Su Lijin would agree to her proposal!
She always felt that there was something else behind Su Lijin's eyes, but she couldn't figure it out, so she couldn't help but glare at her.
"Hmph, no matter what tricks she plays, I won't be fooled!" Concubine Shu snorted.
Xiao Shengxing raised his hand and said, "Since that's the case, generals, please compete and let me see your strength."
"yes!"
After the generals saluted, they looked at each other.
The competition among generals was much more exciting than that among soldiers. They were born in the military and had been fighting in the barracks for many years. Naturally, their skills were not comparable to those of the soldiers.
The rules of the competition are almost the same as those of the soldiers. It starts with one-on-one competition, and then the final winner is determined.
Su Lijin couldn't help but look at a man. The man had a muscular body and a cautious expression. It was Zhao Heng.
The competition was in full swing for a cup of tea, and soon, only four generals were left.
The two teams competed in another round, and the only ones left on the field were Zhao Heng and another tough general.
Su Lijin clutched the handkerchief in her hand and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Xiao Shengxing, who was standing aside, stared intently at the competition, and it was obvious that all the attention was also drawn to it.
"I wonder who will win and who will lose between these two generals." Concubine Shu stretched her neck to look at the field.
This is what everyone is curious about.
Almost all the soldiers stopped competing and looked at Zhao Heng and the other man.
Zhao Heng stretched out his spear and launched a series of moves at the sturdy general. The sturdy general looked burly, but his body was obviously a bit slower, and it was very difficult for him to deal with it.
