——I ate too much and couldn’t even cross the threshold.

The three little ones called their uncle grandpa in a baby voice.

"What about me?" asked the old marquis.

The three little ones: "Uncle great-grandfather!"

"Call me great grandfather!"

"Great grandfather!"

“So good!”

After eating too much, they felt like lying down, so the three little ones climbed onto the bed, spread out their arms and legs, and exposed their bellies to the sun.

"How much did you eat?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know for the time being that it was Zhuge Qing on the opposite side who fed them, and she thought that Xing'er had taken them to dinner.

The three little guys played by themselves while they continued to talk business.

The old marquis and Su Yuan went to visit the Black Armor Army of the Western Jin Dynasty and gained a lot in just a few days.

The Black Armor Army was only established two and a half years ago, but its strong military qualities are more intimidating than many older armies.

Generally speaking, the three armies place more emphasis on overall combat, and individual martial arts skills are not that outstanding. The Black Armor Army is different, when fought one by one, each of them is a master.

It may be an exaggeration to say that he can defeat ten people at once, but defeating seven or eight is no problem at all.

"So powerful." After listening to Su Yuan's description, Su Xiaoxiao had a clearer understanding of the Black Armor Army. It seemed that Shen Sanjin did not brag that day. Suddenly, she became a little curious about Zhuge Qing, the master behind the eldest prince of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Thinking of something, she asked again: "I have always had a question, that is, did the ancient... Western Jin Dynasty also have a navy, army, and air force? There should not be an air force, so what is the third branch of the military?"

Everyone was confused after hearing the first sentence, but they understood what she wanted to ask after hearing the second sentence.

Su Yuan smiled and said, "The three armies refer to the front army, the central army, and the rear army. The front army is the vanguard, and archers and raiding forces are usually in this line; the central army is the main force where the commander is located. When two families fight, the strength of the central army is often considered. The rear army is mainly responsible for cover and vigilance, and sometimes it can also serve as a flank army."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Forget this part!"

They held back their laughter for a while, then got down to business.

"They also have an archery battalion, which is no worse than the Wei family's divine archery battalion back then."

The Wei family's Archery Battalion was famous for its bravery, and every member of their battalion was an excellent archer, but that was the result of many years of hard work by Wu'an Jun and Wei Xu in training them. It was horrifying to think that in just over two years in the Western Jin Dynasty, there was an archery battalion that could rival theirs.

"Is this also the work of Zhuge Qing?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

She became more and more curious about this person.

Su Yuan said: "The one who said that in the Western Jin Dynasty was Yuwen Huai, who was actually Mr. Zhuge."

Strangely enough, after arriving in the Western Jin Dynasty, they inquired from many sources about the power of the princes and officials of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the most surprising result turned out to be the strategist Zhuge Qing.

Su Yuan sighed, "I don't know who he is. His origins are very mysterious."

The old marquis said shrewdly: "It's fine if the Western Jin Dynasty and the Great Zhou are really on good terms, but if they secretly intend to send troops to the Great Zhou, they must kill this Zhuge Qing before they leave!"

Several people did not refute.

To win a war at the lowest cost, one must shake the enemy's morale to the greatest extent possible. Zhuge Qing's influence is not only in the army, but also in the royal family.

Killing him is like cutting off an arm of the royal family.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. So far, there has been no evidence that the Western Jin Dynasty has any ambitions towards the Great Zhou.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I thought you would return to Xidu a few days later."

The old marquis said, "We plan to stay in the military camp for a few more days. Isn't it His Majesty's birthday? Tomorrow, your uncle and I will rush back."

Su Yuan also said, "When we first came to Xidu, they said there would be a birthday banquet, but later it was cancelled. It was precisely because we had some free time that we proposed to go see the Black Armor Army, but this morning they said the birthday banquet would go on as usual."

Su Xiaoxiao came to her senses after thinking about it. It was probably related to the young prince's illness.

After the young prince fell ill, even though everyone initially thought it was a cold, it almost cost him his life, so the Emperor of Western Jin cancelled his birthday banquet. However, the young prince's condition stabilized in the past two days, and the Emperor of Western Jin was so happy that he held the birthday banquet again.

The old marquis looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting and said, "Since you are here, come with us to the banquet."

Su Xiaoxiao thought that since her identity as a girl had been exposed to the Emperor of Western Jin, he would find out her background sooner or later. In that case, she might as well show up.

"What do you think?" she asked Wei Ting.

"Okay." Wei Ting was also exposed in the theater. He couldn't go there for the time being, so Fusu could just wait and see.

The old marquis asked Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting to move to Xidu Inn with their children, but Xidu Inn was too far from the princess's residence, and Su Xiaoxiao still had to treat the young prince's illness, so she said she would move there in a few days.

…

In the courtyard, Zhuge Qing received an invitation from Yuwen Huai.

Zhuge Qing handed her the invitation.

Mei Ji opened it and took a look: "Palace banquet? Is the old emperor going to celebrate his birthday again? Sir, are you going?"

"No."

Zhuge Qing said.

"Why not go?" Mei Ji really wanted to go.

Zhuge Qing said calmly, "I just came back from the palace today and have already sent a birthday gift to the Emperor of Western Jin."

Meiji squatted down beside his wheelchair, holding her chin with her hands and looking at him: "Then you have to go. The gifts have been given, wouldn't it be a pity not to have a meal? I heard that two chefs from Beiyan have come to the palace. The master is from Beiyan, so it's a good opportunity to go and try some hometown dishes!"

"Bei Yan..." Zhuge Qing chewed on these two words lightly.

Meiji felt that her husband seemed suddenly unhappy.

Sir, did anything bad happen in Beiyan? Every time I mention it, I get upset.

Meiji immediately said, "Sir, let's not go. I will go boating with you tomorrow!"

Zhuge Qing glanced at her and said, "You don't have to work anymore?"

Mei Ji sighed, "Alas, that guy was tricked by me today, he will definitely not let it go. He will block me at the theater in the next few days. I'd better stay out of the limelight, unless you lend me a killer so that I can kill that guy."

Zhuge Qing closed the book in his hand and asked, "Which one do you want to borrow?"

…

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to see the young prince as usual. The young prince's smallpox had entered the final stage. The maculopapular rashes on his body turned into blisters and pustules. Waiting for them to fall off and form scabs would mean the end of the smallpox course.

This process is quite unbearable because the patient is already conscious and cannot help scratching the itchy blisters.

"Don't scratch it, or you'll get pockmarks on your face, okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely and seriously.

The young prince nodded innocently.

No one in the Western Jin Dynasty could recognize the three little ones, so they didn't need to hide anything. Su Xiaoxiao generously took them to the banquet.

The three little guys were so happy that they were jumping around and walking with the wind!

The family took a carriage to the Western Jin Dynasty Palace.

Zhuge Qing and Mei Ji were also planning to go out, but at this moment, Yuwen Huai came in person.

"gentlemen."

Yuwen Huai strode over.

Zhuge Qing greeted politely: "Your Highness, why did you suddenly visit me? Is there something wrong?"

Yuwen Huai said, "I want to invite you to the palace banquet tonight. I know you don't like this kind of occasion. Don't worry, you don't have to attend. Just sit next to me and no one will disturb you."

Mei Ji glared at Yuwen Huai unhappily.

What's wrong with this guy? The gentleman refused, but he came to invite him in person! Zhuge Qing paused, smiled slightly and said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful."

…

About half an hour later, Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao's carriage stopped at the gate of the Western Jin Dynasty Palace.

There were many people coming to the banquet, and there were also many carriages and horses.

The three little ones looked at the huge crowds of carriages and people and screamed with excitement.

Yesterday a little cutie left a message telling me not to overdraw and to pay attention to physical exercise. Two months ago, I might not have felt it deeply, but now I truly realize that the body is the capital of revolution.

I am middle-aged... No, I am an eighteen-year-old fairy! I cannot afford to be hurt when I am eighteen.

I had two operations last year. The first one was during the serialization of "The Prime Minister's Daughter". I didn't ask for leave or tell anyone. After I got off the operating table, I held my notebook and typed at night. At that time, I felt like a real tiger.

Half a year later, the doctor said I still needed surgery, but I waited until it was over before going to the hospital.

The second surgery was performed under general anesthesia. The patients in the same ward had a strong reaction after the surgery, but I was in good spirits. I thought I was in great shape after three years of fitness training, but then... I became the frail me you see now...

The debt you owe to your body will have to be repaid sooner or later, so while you are young, you must take good care of your body.

There is one more update. After I finish it, I will go exercise.
