Early in the morning, a carriage bound for the military camp stopped outside the restaurant, and Chengfeng was loading Zhong Muyu's daily necessities onto the carriage.
In early spring, she held Zhong Muyu's hand and didn't let go even when she saw him to the door.
"Why is Chengfeng like this? Why didn't you let me go with you to such a dangerous place as the military camp?"
"That's precisely why I don't want you to come along. You take good care of our restaurant; it's our lifeline now."
Zhong Muyu patted Zaochun's hand. Since Zaochun was in charge here, Zhong Muyu felt at ease.
"This servant understands, Your Highness. Please be careful and do not get hurt!"
Zaochun repeatedly gave her instructions, seemingly still unable to put her mind at ease. Zhang Mama comforted her, "Miss Zaochun, please stop nagging. The Princess Consort was invited by the Prince with great care. With the Prince protecting her, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhong Muyu smiled and nodded: "Granny is right, so you can go back and get busy. There's no need to see me off."
With a wave to his back, Zhong Muyu boarded the carriage and set off with Chengfeng.
The military camp was located at the northernmost edge of the city, near the border, in a sparsely populated area. By the time they arrived, the sun was high in the sky. However, Lu Ziyuan still sent people to greet them, and he himself was there, giving Zhong Muyu a grand welcome.
Here, Lu Ziyuan is different from the one in the city. He has shed his wide robes and sleeves, and his whole figure is upright with broad shoulders and a slender waist. His long legs are particularly eye-catching.
Zhong Muyu was also dressed casually, with her long hair tied into a ponytail, which made her look particularly heroic.
Upon seeing Zhong Muyu, the people around her all showed expressions of surprise. In their minds, the princess should be a dignified lady from a prominent family. This kind of princess broke their preconceived notions.
However, Lu Ziyuan was not surprised; on the contrary, he was very satisfied: "You look quite good like this."
"Convenience is the most important thing when doing things. Where is the chariot? Let me go take a look first."
"No rush, move your things to your accommodation first, have a meal, and then we'll go."
Everything in the military camp exudes a rugged atmosphere, even the living quarters.
Zhong Muyu was assigned to a room next to Lu Ziyuan's, with only a door separating the two.
Zhong Muyu suspected he did it on purpose, but had no evidence.
Looking at the boxes being unloaded from the carriage, Lu Ziyuan was astonished: "How come there's so much stuff?"
"This is too little. I still feel like I didn't bring enough, even with my daily necessities and various tools and parts."
Zhong Muyu directed people to put things away, meticulously arranging everything from what could be opened to what couldn't.
She could have come here without bringing anything, since everything was in her spatial storage, but that would have made her too suspicious. So last night, she took out and packed the things she needed. Because there were too many things, she made some choices and brought these.
Originally, Zhong Muyu's room only had a simple wooden bed and two cabinets and chairs. After she arrived, everything from the mirror and curtains to a toothbrush was arranged properly.
Lu Ziyuan looked around and had to admit that his little princess really knew how to enjoy life.
"You brought so much stuff, why didn't you bring that glow-in-the-night ball?"
"You mean an electric light? That thing isn't just a ball; you need quite a few things to make it light up, and I can't carry that many with me."
Lu Ziyuan asked, "Could we install that thing in the military camps as well?"
"Well... it depends on the situation. After all, that thing is dangerous, and improper operation can kill people."
Zhong Muyu deliberately exaggerated. In reality, she only knew how to install basic electrical facilities, which was enough to power the lights in a house, but she might not be able to power such a large military camp.
"If possible, I hope that the barracks can also have electric lights. Such bright light will not only make it easier to work at night, but also allow us to quickly detect whether there are any enemies infiltrating."
Lu Ziyuan spoke very seriously, and Zhong Muyu noticed that he hadn't been so arrogant in referring to himself as "this king" lately.
Zhong Muyu scratched her hair: "Let's talk about it later."
She really couldn't give Lu Ziyuan any assurances.
...
The military camp gave Zhong Muyu a simple meal. After lunch, Lu Ziyuan took her to the location where the chariots were being repaired, where several chariot craftsmen were working.
In this era, armored vehicles are indispensable for plains warfare. Zhong Muyu examined them carefully and asked, "How do you plan to modify them?"
Lu Ziyuan handed her a notebook: "The details are all in here. This is the result of everyone's joint discussion."
Zhong Muyu looked through it and found nothing complicated; it was just basic modifications like reinforcement and stabilization.
"Simple, I'll go draw up the blueprints and get the materials. You just need a few people to help me."
"Let Chengfeng do it for you. Besides, we have all the materials here..."
Zhong Muyu waved her hand: "Of course yours can be used, but mine are better."
Lu Ziyuan said no more, only instructing her: "These craftsmen are at your disposal. Let them do whatever they need to do."
If someone else is using it, might as well use it.
Zhong Muyu certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to take on everything, and besides, judging from the respectful attitude of these craftsmen, Lu Ziyuan must have already given them a warning.
When the materials arrived by the wind, Zhong Muyu's blueprints were also completed. The craftsmen took a look and whispered among themselves.
"This! This is exactly the same as the blueprints we used for the modification!"
"After all, she is the Princess Consort. It's already quite remarkable that she understands these things. The Prince dotes on his wife and asks her for help, so let's not say anything more."
"That's right, that's right. When we make our move, we'll try to keep the Princess Consort away. We can't afford to take responsibility if she gets hurt."
