Lu Jingze personally led the team to Cangzhou, a task that was arduous.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Lu Nancheng specially transferred a team of elite soldiers from elsewhere to accompany him.
Before leaving, Su Yingxue specially called Wang Xiuxiu over and instructed her to prepare Lu Jingze's luggage.
Wang Xiuxiu readily agreed, but couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Although she had lived in the Prince's mansion for some time, she knew very little about military affairs and was afraid of forgetting some important items.
So he turned around and went to ask Granny Li for advice.
Li Mama was a kind-hearted person. Seeing Wang Xiuxiu's seriousness, she explained everything to her in detail: "Marching into battle is not like being at home. You need to bring light and durable clothes, enough dry food, and medicine. In particular, wound medicine and fever reducers can be life-saving in critical moments. Also, you should bring the pen and ink that the prince usually uses. He is used to writing and drawing on the march to record important matters."
Wang Xiuxiu listened carefully, taking notes as she mentally planned how to prepare.
She not only prepared everything according to Li Mama's instructions, but also specially prepared several thick cloaks and several packets of ginger tea to ward off the cold, in case the weather suddenly changed.
When Granny Li returned to report to Su Yingxue, she couldn't help but tease her: "Don't be fooled by our Consort's usual carefree and nonchalant attitude. When it comes to doing things, she's incredibly meticulous!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue smiled and replied, "Yes, Xiuxiu is no ordinary woman. On the surface, she seems indifferent to everything, but in reality, she is incredibly intelligent and clear-headed. Many times, before we outsiders have even noticed the problem, she has already thought of a solution."
After listening, Granny Li nodded in deep agreement.
I hadn't noticed it before, but recently, after spending more time with Wang Xiuxiu, I've come to realize that this concubine is quite different from others.
Whether it was preparing for a grand auction or cleverly improving the father-son relationship between the young prince and the king, these thorny issues would have left other ordinary women helpless, but Wang Xiuxiu always handled them with ease and in a proper manner.
She was bold yet meticulous, and her heart was like a burning fire, warming everyone around her.
Not only the prince and princess and the young prince liked her, but even the servants below would rush to deliver things to her courtyard as soon as they heard that it was time to go.
It's not that there's any great reward for visiting, but the atmosphere in her courtyard alone makes you feel comfortable.
Wang Xiuxiu is not only kind to people, but she also often teaches them some novel skills, such as how to make delicious snacks with simple ingredients, or how to embroider unique patterns.
Her yard was always filled with laughter, as if even the air itself became lighter and more cheerful.
The princess in the palace was strict in managing the household. Although she received a considerable monthly salary, she was not allowed to go out of the palace to buy things as she pleased.
Wang Xiuxiu's yard is full of delicious food, and even more strange and unusual things, which she likes to share with those around her.
For this reason, the servants in the mansion, especially the group of hungry young maids, particularly liked to go to Wang Xiuxiu's courtyard.
Every time I go, I leave with a full load of goodies!
When preparing Lu Jingze's luggage, Wang Xiuxiu took it all upon herself, carefully considering even the way each piece of clothing was folded.
After packing up, Wang Xiuxiu held a small amulet and stuffed it into her bag.
