"Father, I want to go to the battlefield."
There are reasons, as Qi Sinan mentioned, and there's also the reason I like it.
I've wanted to join the army since I was a child, and this is simply the best time for me to do so.
Qin Jingtai spoke his mind, and Qin Jue listened without saying a word, instead looking at another person, Baili Zhou.
"What, you want to be a general too?"
"Your Majesty, I wish to serve as a military commander."
"Heh, so the three of you planned this all along?"
The three of them listened and looked at Qin Jue's enigmatic smile, and all lowered their heads.
They were all prepared to be scolded and beaten, until Qin Jue's voice rang out.
"Since you all want an army and to go to the battlefield, I grant your request."
"only……"
Qin Jue paused here, and the three of them asked at the same time, "But what?"
"But you are pawns, pawns that have crossed the river. You can only advance, not retreat."
If one person leaves the group, what awaits the three of you... I don't need to elaborate, do I?
"yes"
"Your Majesty, I thank you! Long live the Emperor!"
Hearing their shouts, Qin Jue raised his hand to stop the three from speaking further.
"Don't rush to write. When you join the army, you are not allowed to reveal your identity, and you must start from the lowest rank of soldier."
"yes"
The voices of the three people filled the hall and lingered for a long time.
Yang Fan, who had been secretly watching from the sidelines, was quite satisfied when he heard Qin Jue agree to Qin Jingtai and the others' conversation.
"Aren't you going to back down?"
Qin Jue looked at the three people still standing there and asked them in a stern tone.
"Father...when shall I...depart?"
The three men looked at each other, and finally Qin Jingtai asked the question.
"Ha, you guys are really in a hurry."
"That's fine then. In two days, you will travel south together with Bai Lin."
"Remember, in the army, you are no longer young masters and princes; you are just ordinary soldiers!"
Qin Jue raised his voice considerably as he looked down at the three kneeling figures below.
"yes!!!"
The three of them didn't think anything of it, and instead said it even louder.
Then, Qin Jue waved his hand, and the three of them left the Imperial Study.
Are you satisfied now?
"Father, how can you say I'm satisfied? You should say that I've fulfilled Third Brother's wishes."
"You're the best at getting the better deal and then acting innocent."
"hey-hey"
Qin Jue reached out and pinched Xiao Xi'er's little cheek, then patted her head.
"Alright, go back to sleep now. Father still has some things to discuss with them."
"Uh-huh"
Xiao Xi nodded vigorously, jumped off the stool, and walked towards the door.
As they reached the door and were about to leave, Xiao Xi'er turned around to look at Qin Jue, who was sitting at the top of the table, and waved, "Daddy, I'll be waiting for you to come back~"
After saying that, Xiao Xi'er stepped through the gate and went out.
After delivering the food, Chunhe and Xiaju returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Qiumei went to the Imperial Study.
Qin Ruoxi walked slowly along the palace path, while Qiu Mei held a lantern to light her way.
"I never expected my third brother to want to be a general."
Qiu Mei didn't speak, and continued to use the lamp in her hand to light up Qin Ruoxi's eyes.
At this moment, a young palace maid hurriedly walked towards Qin Ruoxi's direction.
He didn't even bow when he reached Qin Ruoxi; he simply walked past her on the other side and bumped into her with his shoulder.
"hiss--"
"Princess, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, just a little sore..."
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi gasp, Qiu Mei quickly inquired about Qin Ruoxi's condition.
After asking the question, he frowned and glared fiercely at the maid on the other side.
"What are you doing? Can't you see this is Her Highness the Princess?"
Qiu Mei saw Qin Ruoxi being deliberately bumped into by a palace maid who seemed to appear out of nowhere. She immediately reached out and grabbed the maid's arm, pulling her close to her.
She glared angrily at the disheveled palace maid in front of her and said...
"Do you know that you bumped into the princess?"
"If anything happens to the princess, can you afford to compensate her?"
"I...I..."
"Who gave you permission to refer to yourself as 'mine' in front of the princess? Kneel down now!!"
Seeing Qiu Mei's fierce expression, and then glancing at Qin Ruoxi, the young palace maid began to stammer.
When Qiu Mei said the word "kneel down," she emphasized it even more, and the little palace maid immediately knelt down.
"This servant deserves to die. Please, Princess, spare my life!"
After the young palace maid knelt on the ground, she kowtowed to Qin Ruoxi, begging for her life.
"Get up, it's alright. Just remember to watch where you're going next time."
Qin Ruoxi spoke to the kneeling palace maid, who, upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's voice, stared at her in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Qiu Mei, let's go."
After Qin Ruoxi finished speaking, she turned to Qiu Mei and spoke again.
"Yes, Princess."
"Why aren't you kowtowing and thanking Her Highness for sparing your life?"
Qiu Mei responded to Qin Ruoxi's voice and looked at the little palace maid on the ground, asking...
However, the little palace maid didn't move for a while. Just as Qin Ruoxi was about to leave with Qiu Mei...
The palace maid hugged Qin Ruoxi's leg again.
"Princess, spare me! Please, Princess, spare me!"
Qiu Mei and Qin Ruoxi were stunned, not understanding what the little palace maid meant.
What's wrong with you?
Qiu Mei was furious when she heard the maid's words. "My princess has already told you to get up and leave. What do you mean by this?"
The young palace maid then realized that there was a problem with what she had said, and after thinking for a moment, she changed her words.
"Princess, I have done wrong. Please punish me."
"Princess, please punish this servant..."
This stunned Qin Ruoxi and Qiu Mei. Qiu Mei immediately pulled up the little palace maid.
"Get up."
Qin Ruoxi walked up to the little palace maid who was only slightly taller than her.
Are you... feeling unwell?
The young palace maid pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"Are you trying to tell me something?"
The young palace maid raised her head and looked at Qin Ruoxi. She gritted her teeth, glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and then cautiously spoke...
"Princess, someone wants to... wants to hurt you..."
The young palace maid originally wanted to say, "Someone wants to kill her," but then she remembered that Qin Ruoxi was only eight years old, so she changed her words.
Qin Ruoxi and Qiu Mei were both stunned upon hearing the maid's words. Qiu Mei frowned and began to suspect the maid.
"Who are you? How did you know?"
“I…this servant…this servant overheard their conversation by accident.”
They said they would wait for the little princess to pass by, but they wanted to... wanted to hurt the little princess...
Qin Ruoxi and Qiu Mei exchanged glances, and just as they were about to ask the maid some more questions, the maid broke free of Qiu Mei's hand and ran away.
"Princess……"
"It's okay, I have someone to protect me."
Xiao Xi patted Qiu Mei's arm to comfort her, then spoke to the air.
