Zhuzhu glanced at Jiang Jiuniang and said, "I know that few women go to the battlefield in this era, but I am quite strong. If there is a war one day, could I disguise myself as a man and go to war?"
Although she knew that Jiang Jiuniang would definitely make arrangements for her when the time came, she decided to tell the emperor now rather than trouble him. She said she could disguise herself as a man and not cause any trouble for the emperor or the Lu family. She just wanted to go to the battlefield to help Jiang Jiuniang and make her feel at ease accepting everything the Lu family offered.
The emperor glanced at Jiang Jiuniang, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he turned to Zhuzhu and asked, "Do you know how dangerous it is to go to the battlefield?"
"Of course! The place I lived before was far more terrifying than the battlefield, yet I survived. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely win the battle and return victorious!"
She patted her chest and assured him.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the whole world was at war. She was also someone who had experienced war and was very confident in herself.
The emperor looked at the girl who was spouting nonsense in front of him with admiration in his eyes. He was in dire need of talent, and Jiang Jiuniang had brought her to him.
If someone else had said this, he would have thought that the person was talking nonsense and dared to say such things without even taking a piss and looking at themselves in the mirror. But the person speaking was someone brought by Jiang Jiuniang, and Jiang Jiuniang did not stop her when she said these words, which shows that she does have the ability.
Of course, during this period of fighting the epidemic, he had been keeping track of the situation outside the city gates, and naturally knew that Jiang Jiuniang and her two sisters were not ordinary people. They were capable and very low-key, and were indeed very promising talents.
He didn't answer Zhuzhu immediately, but looked at Jiang Jiuniang and asked, "What does Doctor Jiang think?"
“Zhuzhu does have the ability, but if we send her to the army when there is a sudden war, it will be too late. It would be better to send her to the military camp outside the city now to train and get to know the soldiers. If she really goes to the battlefield in the future, she will have a better chance of winning.”
This was something she had planned long ago. If a woman entered the military camp, the soldiers would definitely be dissatisfied, just like she had done before. She needed Zhuzhu to subdue them all so that they would obey her commands on the battlefield.
Zhuzhu asked nervously, "Sister Ajiu, will we still be able to eat Sister Yu's cooking in the military camp?"
Jiang Jiuniang chuckled: "I didn't make you stay there every day. You can go in the morning and come back in the evening, or you can go every few days. Anyway, you're not an ordinary soldier who needs to train every day."
The Emperor was even more pleased to hear this. He greatly welcomed a talent who could win battles without daily training!
He hurriedly said, "I will do as you say. I trust all the people that Doctor Jiang brought. I will make arrangements for you later."
"That's wonderful! Thank you, Your Majesty! You are truly the best emperor I have ever met!"
Jiang Jiuniang and Ruozheng: ...
You talk as if you've met many emperors.
The emperor was flattered and pleased, and Zhuzhu was also very happy, resulting in a situation where both parties were satisfied.
Just then, the Empress arrived and immediately became very affectionate with Jiang Jiuniang, embracing her tightly and reluctant to part.
The emperor was a little jealous. Lately, the empress hadn't been as enthusiastic towards him, prioritizing the children's education and barely paying attention to him.
Fortunately, the emperor had other things to attend to, so he gave the empress a few instructions and left with his entourage, without delaying the group of women's tea party.
Women always have countless topics to discuss. Although the Empress did not know Ruozheng and Zhuzhu before, after sitting down, they started talking about the identities she had assigned to them, and all sorts of topics came up. Before long, they were talking about wanting to keep pets.
Ruozheng wanted to raise a cat, thinking that cats and dogs were very therapeutic. The Empress was immediately swayed by this idea and soon ordered people to find several lion cat kittens.
Jiang Jiuniang has no resistance to beautiful things. Thinking of the lion cat's irresistibly noble appearance, she immediately said, "I want two!"
The Empress doted on her and naturally agreed to everything, saying that she would send the kittens over once they were found.
Spring hasn't arrived yet, so if you want kittens, you'll have to wait three or four months.
But they all said the wait was worthwhile.
As they were talking, a palace maid came to announce that Princess Jinlan had arrived.
Jinlan is the Empress's second daughter. In the past, Jiang Jiuniang even designed a dress for her on her birthday.
Later, after the Lu family settled in the capital, the little princess also went to live with the little prince at the Lu family for a period of time. However, Jiang Jiuniang was always busy with things, so the little princess stayed in the palace and didn't have much contact with them.
It's been quite a while since we've seen this little princess.
It's been a long time since I've seen her. The little girl has grown into a graceful young lady. When she runs, she's like a joyful butterfly, lively and adorable.
She called out "Mother Empress" as a greeting to the Empress, and then ran straight to Jiang Jiu Niang, calling out "Aunt Jiu" in a sweet voice.
“I heard from the palace maids that Aunt Jiu is pregnant again, so she hasn’t been to the palace to see the Empress Dowager for a long time.”
The little girl looked at Jiang Jiuniang expectantly, as if she really wanted to touch her belly.
Jiang Jiuniang was surprised that these words had reached the palace, and that the Empress hadn't even explained to the little princess, which made her feel a little awkward.
"I'm not pregnant. It's just a rumor spread by outsiders. Aunt Jiu has been visiting friends recently, so she hasn't been to the palace. I'm so sorry that you misunderstood."
Jiang Jiuniang held her hand, looking very guilty. She reached into her bosom and said, "Aunt Jiu brought you a gift from your trip. Look what this is."
Before the little princess could even feel disappointed about not being pregnant, her attention was drawn to the gift in her hand.
It's a very cute rag doll; its head and limbs are movable, and it's very lifelike.
The little princess immediately fell in love with it, took it with both hands, and was extremely pleased.
Is this me?
The little princess looked at Jiang Jiuniang expectantly, and Jiang Jiuniang immediately nodded: "Of course it's you! Just as cute as you, who else could it be but you?"
Seeing how well Jiang Jiuniang knew how to make children happy, Ruozheng and Zhuzhu became anxious. When they entered the palace, they didn't know there would be children, so they didn't prepare any gifts. Unlike Jiang Jiuniang, who had a spatial ability and could take whatever she wanted, they casually touched around and put on some jewelry and the like, but it wasn't appropriate to give it to a little girl who hadn't even come of age yet.
At this moment, Jiang Jiuniang had already pulled the little princess over to introduce her to them.
"These two are Aunt Jiu's friends, this is Aunt Ruozheng, and this is Aunt Zhuzhu."
The little princess was very polite, calling out "Auntie" in turn, and then it was Ruozheng and Zhuzhu's turn to look at each other awkwardly.
The Queen noticed the awkwardness between the two and wanted to help them out. Ruozheng took out a book from his pocket and gave it to the little princess: "This is a very useful book. I'm giving it to you as a gift. I hope you like it."
The little princess looked closely and found the words on it to be strange. They looked like typos, but she seemed to be able to understand every single one of them.
It says on it: Simple machine making
