The streets were empty at night. Although it was not yet curfew, there were no other people on the streets. There was only this one carriage traveling on the wide street.

Jiang Yuan, who usually sat next to the coachman, was also called into the carriage by Chu Qianchen. Jiang Yuan was wearing a thin blue shirt and was not afraid of the cold, which formed a sharp contrast with Chu Qianchen, who was holding a sleeve warmer and wearing a jacket.

"Jiang Yuan, did anything happen when you went to the princess's mansion?" Chu Qianchen lazily leaned in the carriage, her posture not very "ladylike". Amber felt in her heart that her girl must have learned bad things from the prince.

Although Amber thought about it, she didn't say it out loud. She was sure that the princess would take it as a compliment.

Jiang Yuan replied dryly, "Princess, the person who received me was Consort Liu, the concubine of Consort Lu. Consort Lu is not here. I heard that Consort Liu is now the head of the Princess's Mansion and is in charge of the household expenses. Everyone from top to bottom listens to her."

"When I was about to take the people away, Aunt Liu tried to stop me, saying that she would have nothing to say until the Prince Consort came back. She also said that she wanted to go with me to see the Princess, to apologize and to make amends. Then she asked me to wait a little longer, saying that she would send someone to pass on the message to the Prince Consort and the Lady of the Marquis of Dongping..."

Aunt Liu wanted to stop Jiang Yuan, and wanted to use Prince Consort Lu and the wife of the Earl of Dongping to pressure others, but Jiang Yuan was not an ordinary maid. Her methods were extremely brutal. She would beat anyone who disobeyed her. Anyway, she had the support of the princess.

Amber listened with some emotion and sigh, and said with a sigh: "No wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to leave."

Isn't this a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest? Who can live in such a place! Jingle has been wronged so much, and that Huang Ma wants her to go back and apologize to Lu Fu Ma. Isn't that just letting Lu Fu Ma and Aunt Liu humiliate the princess?! If Jingle goes back like this this time, her future life will only be worse, and Lu Fu Ma and his men will only become more unscrupulous.

Amber originally thought that Jingle's character was too soft and she seemed hopeless, but after listening to Jiang Yuan's story and thinking about the behavior of the three palace servants who served Jingle, she began to understand why her character was so soft and she could be manipulated by anyone.

Chu Qianchen closed his eyes and listened without saying a word.

She closed her eyes and rested quietly for a while, but only for a while. Prince Chen's Mansion was not far away and could actually be reached on foot.

If the weather wasn't too cold, Chu Qianchen wouldn't have taken a carriage. Instead, he would have preferred to enjoy the night breeze and take a walk.

After getting off the carriage at the outer gate of the palace, Chu Qianchen learned from Nanny Cai that Gu Jue was still waiting for her to have dinner together, and she immediately walked as fast as the wind.

In this cold winter, when she walked back to the main courtyard, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Prince." Chu Qianchen called sweetly.

There was already a tacit understanding between him and her that didn't require too many words. Gu Jue only needed to glance at her lightly and knew why she was breathing rapidly.

He took a sweat towel and wiped her sweat carefully, then asked someone to serve the meal.

Chu Qianchen calmly let him serve her, and even slightly raised her face to cooperate with his actions, without stopping her mouth: "I sent Jingle to my dowry house, which is on the next street."

"I asked her to divorce, but she didn't dare."

"Later, I told her..."

Chu Qianchen dared to say anything to Gu Jue, but Amber on the side didn't dare to listen, especially the words "If you don't listen, I will beat you up."

Is it really appropriate for the princess to say to the prince that she encouraged the eldest princess to beat her husband, which is a shocking statement that can only be heard by the world?

Amber couldn't help but glance at Gu Jue's expression, only to see that Gu Jue was smiling. She could even see a hint of pampering and pleasure in his cold eyes.

Amber felt like she had been fed a mouthful of sugar by her two masters. It was too sweet and too greasy.

Yes, the prince is not an ordinary person, so he cannot be judged from the perspective of an ordinary person. Maybe if the princess said she wanted to beat someone up, the prince's first reaction would be to give her a team of guards or the Black Armor Army to command.

When Chu Qianchen finished talking about this and that, two maids came in with food boxes. They skillfully arranged five dishes and a soup. The topic about Jingle came to an end for the time being.

After dinner and drinking some digestive tea, Chu Qianchen went to the bathroom to take a shower.

About an incense stick later, she came out with wet hair, water dripping from the ends of her hair, and wisps of heat emanating from her body.

Next, Amber stepped out. It was not her turn here, so Gu Jue took over Chu Qianchen.

Gu Jue asked Chu Qianchen to sit down on the dressing table and carefully wrung out her hair bit by bit.

There was a faint rose scent from her hair, which was the scent of rose soap, fresh, sweet and refreshing.

Chu Qianchen drank the hot scented tea while glancing at Gu Jue's reflection in the mirror.

Even if she didn't look, she knew that his movements were very gentle and light, as if he was afraid of losing even a strand of her hair.

Chu Qianchen felt very happy just by looking at him, and said to the person in the mirror: "Take your time."

She wanted him to take it slow, but Gu Jue was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he didn't dare to slow down.

Gu Jue's fingers lingered among her thick hair affectionately. He picked up a strand of hair and wrapped it around his fingers. He bent down and placed a cool kiss on the strand of hair wrapped around his fingers.

Chu Qianchen watched this scene through the mirror. From this angle, his eyelashes drooped, thick, black, long, and curled, like a comb.

His handsome face was like the cold moon hanging in the night sky outside the window, so noble, so elegant, and yet with a hint of charm.

Chu Qianchen's face began to turn red again, getting hotter and hotter, and even his heartbeat quickened.

In her confused state, she blurted out, "My Lord, have you washed your hair?"

Gu Jue said: “Yeah.”

After receiving Gu Jue's affirmative answer, Chu Qianchen felt inexplicably disappointed. He pursed his lips and suddenly thought of another thing, so he asked, "Your Highness, do you know that the Ministry of War is going to select a few martial artists from the Imperial College to participate in the spring military exercise?"

"That's true." Gu Jue was combing Chu Qianchen's hair with a peach wood comb and nodded nonchalantly, "It seems that Kang Hongda and the Ministry of War proposed this to the emperor."

Chu Qianchen looked into Gu Jue's eyes in the mirror and said, "Brother Yi wants to go."

"That's not a bad idea." Gu Jue said calmly, "It wouldn't be a bad idea for him to take this opportunity to gain some experience and knowledge. He has been acting more and more decent in the Xuanjia Camp recently."

After a pause, he continued, "Originally I was planning to have someone take him out for some actual combat training, but the timing just happened to conflict, so forget it. There will always be a chance in the future anyway."

Chu Qianchen said "Oh" and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide."

Anyway, with the prince watching over Chu Yunyi, this silly boy will always be smarter! The prince is the best at disciplining people. If the silly boy continues to be stupid, then he is probably hopeless.

Chu Qianchen said secretly in his heart, smiling at Gu Jue with curved lips, so adorable and well-behaved.

Now that he had mentioned it to Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen put the matter out of his mind and never thought of mentioning Gu Jue's plan to Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianchen didn't say anything. Tang Yuchu went to tell Chu Yunyi about the actual battle the next day. Chu Yunyi was so shocked that he almost fainted. He repeated Tang Yuchu's words stupidly: "We are leaving today?"

"Yes." Tang Yuchu nodded affirmatively.

This is how it is when marching and fighting. In order to avoid leaking military secrets, the soldiers below are often not informed of the next arrangements in advance. The Black Armor Army has always been known for surprise attacks, and it is common for soldiers to hear orders in the middle of the night and set off immediately. Although this is just an actual combat exercise and not a formal confrontation between the two armies, it will also test the soldiers' ability to respond and obey.

The Black Armor Army is a peerless famous sword that protects the Great Qi. It has a reputation that is enough to intimidate the barbarians in all directions and is enough to go down in history.

Now that the war between Da Qi and Chi Di has ended, this famous sword has been put back into its sheath, but it cannot be allowed to rust. Only if it is taken out and sharpened can the sword remain sharp and be able to turn the tide in a critical moment and protect the people.

Chu Yunyi is not an official member of the Xuanjia Army, and it is up to him whether to go or not, so Tang Yuchu came to tell him, mainly to tell him that he does not need to go to the Xuanjia Camp for a while.

Then, Tang Yuchu added: "We won't be back until at least the first month of the lunar year."

Chu Yunyi's eyes flashed twice.

In other words, if he went with them, he would definitely miss the selection and training of the Imperial Guards.

"Brother Tang, I'll go with you." Chu Yunyi's eyes were bright and he made a decisive decision without any hesitation, even though he had been preparing for this selection for more than twenty days.

Compared with the actual combat training of the Black Armor Army, the military exercises of the Imperial Army were nothing but a show. What a waste! With big fish and meat to eat, who would want to eat small fish with only fish bones and fish bones?

Chu Yunyi was afraid that Tang Yuchu would not want to take him, so he took a big step forward and wanted to pinch Tang Yuchu's sleeve, his eyes bright as morning stars.

However, Tang Yuchu had mastered the skill of not getting hurt by a single leaf, and his reaction was extremely fast. He dodged it lightly by just turning sideways.

Although Chu Yunyi's skills have improved over the past few months, compared to Tang Yuchu, the difference is like the difference between a child and an adult, and the gap is still far.

Chu Yunyi was used to being abused in the Xuanjia Camp, and he could no longer lose face in front of people like Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan. After all, they had seen him in every miserable state.

"I want to go! I want to go!" he said eagerly, turning into a pitiful little boy, looking like he would cry on the spot if he was not taken with him.

Tang Yuchu took a few steps back, as if he was afraid of being entangled by Chu Yunyi, and said in a fearful manner: "If you want to go, go and tell the prince yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunyi ran away like a gust of wind, fearing that if he moved too slowly, Tang Yuchu and the others would leave him behind and set off first.
