Empress Dowager Zheng didn't take it seriously: "What's so difficult about this? Compared to Jingshuo, you're closer to the Crown Prince. You can learn any skill on the job. Do you think I'd make you bleed or suffer?"
“Given your status, once you're in the camp, those people below will protect you. I'll speak to them later.”
Empress Dowager Zheng made up her mind and forbade Jinglu from hesitating any longer, so Jinglu could no longer refuse.
...
A few days later, Madam Du was also invited to Yongshou Palace by Empress Dowager Cheng. Her words were exactly the same as those she had given in Empress Dowager Zheng's palace, which thoroughly slapped Empress Dowager Cheng in the face.
She then realized that her pride was useless. Jing Shuo, full of confidence and without showing any ambition, was hindered before he could even take a step. He was burning with anger.
After Madam Du left, Jing Shuo snorted: "General Du was able to go to the Xuanjia Army so easily, he must have relied on my brother, the Emperor. It's no wonder he can't help us."
Consort Cheng glanced at Empress Dowager Cheng, her voice filled with anxiety: "But Consort Zheng has been quite pleased with herself lately. I heard she has prepared a lot of armor for Jinglu. Since Madam Du can't make decisions for General Du, it seems Empress Dowager Zheng is looking for an opportunity to make decisions for His Majesty."
Consort Cheng said this intentionally for Empress Dowager Cheng to hear. Empress Dowager Cheng remained silent for a long time: "His Majesty must give face to the Crown Prince. The Longevity Palace may not be able to get the Crown Prince to give face."
"Anyway, it's difficult to find General Du to rely on."
She sighed, but still decided to focus her attention on the girls from her maternal family. Even sending one into the Eastern Palace would be good!
This time, Empress Dowager Cheng did not come up with any other ideas decisively. When Jing Shuo left Yongshou Palace, he thought of Jing Lu, who had already prepared his armor.
He was extremely worried, and suddenly thought of Yue Jiang.
Just as it was time to pay respects, Jing Shuo deliberately waited on the only route back to the East Palace from Jiaofang Palace. After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, he finally saw Yue Jiang's palanquin approaching.
Jing Shuo first cupped his hands to block the way: "Greetings, Crown Princess sister-in-law."
Yue Jiang was already in a bad mood when she unexpectedly ran into Jing Shuo again, but the weakness he held was a fatal flaw, and she had long harbored resentment towards Jing Yan.
Jing Shuo has been unreasonable time and again. It's time for Yue Jiang to let the seed sprout in Jing Yan's heart.
She waved for the eunuchs to alight from the carriage, then dismissed them to the side, and asked with a smile, behaving like an elder.
"What is it, Second Brother?"
Jing Shuo was intimidated by Yue Jiang's words last time, but he didn't believe that Yue Jiang was not afraid at all. Therefore, instead of asking his father to intervene, he could try asking Yue Jiang.
"Sister-in-law Crown Princess, could you please do me the favor of saying a few good words for me to the Emperor and get me into the Xuanjia Army? Consider it payment for keeping your secret. I swear I will never mention this matter again."
“Jing Shuo, how dare you threaten me?” Yue Jiang’s voice was cold.
