Chapter 174 Do What You Don’t Want
"Yes, it's me." Yan Zhiyi responded happily.
"Why are you here?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"I'm going to be a military doctor."
"You..." Pei Jingzhou couldn't imagine it.
“You said that I worked so hard to study, practice the piano, ride horses, and hunt since I was a child… not to be a concubine for men, but to give me the strength to move forward in difficult, dark, and helpless moments, and to lead me to the light.
“You also said that it’s not easy to be a woman in this world, and when you have the chance to shine, you shouldn’t extinguish yourself.
"So when I heard that a war broke out in the border states, I came here to do my part." Yan Zhiyi did not drug Pei Jingzhou as the Queen wished, and even contradicted the Queen. After being slapped, she left the palace.
When she returned to the Yan Mansion, her father and brothers blamed her for not being able to control Pei Jingzhou.
She also had a quarrel with them.
At this time, she heard that a war had broken out in the border state. She always felt that she had to do something, so she mentioned the matter of going to the border state to her mother. Unexpectedly, her mother, who had always been gentle and polite, fully supported her in doing what she wanted to do.
The next day, she rushed to the border state with her maid and servants.
Originally, she was worried that she would not be able to do anything and would be afraid to return to Beijing. As a result, she really overcame the difficulties bit by bit and came to the border state military camp to work as a military doctor.
She saw the war, the blood, the injuries, and the death... She was grieving, but at the same time, her heart became open. She felt extremely ashamed when she thought of herself trapped in the backyard.
fine!
Fortunately, Pei Jingzhou scolded her and woke her up, and she transformed into who she is today.
Pei Jingzhou noticed the look on Yan Zhiyi's face, which was completely different from her past self. He was also happy: "It seems that you are doing well as a military doctor."
Yan Zhiyi smiled and said, "I'm still studying. Why are you here suddenly?"
"I'm here to quell the people's grievances." Pei Jingzhou said.
When Yan Zhiyi arrived in the border state, she realized that the soldiers and the common people here had misunderstood Pei Jingzhou. She tried to explain, but with little effect. However, if Pei Jingzhou came in person, the problem would definitely be solved.
She subconsciously looked back and asked, "Is the Crown Princess here too?"
"She is pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to come." If Jiang Zhaoyue was not pregnant, Pei Jingzhou would definitely bring her here.
Yan Zhiyi was surprised: "The Crown Princess is pregnant?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Calculating the time, the baby will be born in two or three months."
"It happened so quickly. The Crown Princess has grown so beautiful and has such a lovely personality. The child she gives birth to will definitely be good-looking, smart and lively." Although Yan Zhiyi had never hurt Jiang Zhaoyue, she was madly jealous.
Looking back on the past now, I just think that Jiang Zhaoyue was really straightforward and likable.
No wonder Pei Jingzhou loves her so much.
Pei Jingzhou really loved her. Just by talking to Yan Zhiyi for a few words about Jiang Zhaoyue, he missed her so much that his heart ached. He forced a smile and nodded: "I hope the child can be like her."
"Doctor Yan, please bandage me." Chen Xuanmo, who had been watching nearby, spoke up.
Yan Zhiyi glanced at Chen Xuanmo and said to Pei Jingzhou, "Your Highness, I'm going to get busy now."
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "I will also go and see the other wounded soldiers."
"yes."
Pei Jingzhou walked towards the military medical camp and suddenly found that several military doctors were idle, but Chen Xuanmo was waiting for Yan Zhiyi to bandage him. He couldn't help but look back.
Yan Zhiyi bandaged Chen Xuanmo carefully.
Chen Xuanmo's face, ears, and neck all turned red.
Pei Jingzhou had liked Jiang Zhaoyue for so long, so he naturally knew what Chen Xuanmo meant. He raised his lips and smiled, then went to comfort the wounded soldiers. Then he moved into the tent, listened to the generals talk about the war, looked at maps, conducted field investigations, reviewed the reasons for the defeat, and simulated the next war on a sand table.
Within a month, he led a group of soldiers to fight against Chiang Kai-shek's army and captured nearly a hundred of them.
The soldiers in the border states, who had suffered repeated defeats, suddenly gained confidence, and the rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was "collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country" were gradually fading.
Pei Jingzhou took the opportunity to explain to the soldiers, "I am the crown prince, and I own the entire Jin Dynasty. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for me to protect my homeland and defend my country safely than to betray my country? Why would I give up my own land and sell out my own people?"
If this had been said in the past, the soldiers would definitely not have believed it. However, after seeing how diligently His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been practicing martial arts, handling military affairs, assisting with border affairs, and personally caring for the wounded over the past month, most of them were willing to believe what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.
Pei Jingzhou did not expect to convince everyone at once. He just wanted everyone to regain their determination to defend their country, and he would prove himself with actions.
So he worked even harder, determined to completely conquer the Southern Jiang Kingdom.
The only time I could relax was when I read Jiang Zhaoyue's letters and wrote back to her.
After experiencing inner emptiness, Jiang Zhaoyue picked herself up again. In addition to taking care of her pregnancy, she followed Concubine Hui and others to learn how to manage the harem, chat, and get to know the female relatives in the capital.
The ladies who had been praising her at the annual banquet were now very quiet because of Pei Jingzhou's criticism.
On the other hand, Lady Zuoyangbo would either send her some jewelry, write letters to express her concern, or request to go to the palace to see her, and her enthusiasm was to the point of flattery.
It happened that Concubine Hui was holding a palace banquet, and Lady Zuoyangbo was also present, and she praised her in a few words.
She was very narcissistic, but she didn't like the praise from Lady Zuoyang. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Concubine Hui say, "Lady Zuoyang."
Upon hearing this, Lady Zuoyang looked towards Imperial Concubine Hui and said, "Yes, Imperial Concubine."
"Does Zuo Yangbo have a concubine?"
Lady Zuoyang thought that Concubine Hui was going to speak for her, so she said happily, "Of course there are. Don't all men have wives and concubines?"
"When Zuo Yangbo took a concubine, how did his wife feel?"
"Of course I am happy."
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Is that really the case?"
Mrs. Zuoyangbo was suddenly embarrassed.
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Concubine Hui still said with a smile.
Mrs. Zuoyangbo didn't know how to respond.
Concubine Hui looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Crown Princess, you are in a very heavy condition now. Besides taking a walk every day, the most important thing is to relax your mind. You must not keep everything to yourself. If you hurt the fetus, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor will surely be furious."
Concubine Hui always kept her words to herself. Jiang Zhaoyue knew that while Concubine Hui was helping him to reprimand Lady Zuoyang, she was also telling the other female members of the family what to say.
Let them put their thoughts aside and not dance in front of her. If they hurt her and the child, they will be in trouble.
She was touched and nodded: "Yes."
"In the future, don't accept any jewelry or gifts sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, lest it cause you to feel unwell, which would be a serious problem." Concubine Hui added.
Mrs. Zuoyangbo broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
"Madam Zuoyangbo." Concubine Hui suddenly called out.
Mrs. Zuo Yangbo was startled: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I was so busy talking to the Crown Princess that I neglected you. It's my fault." Imperial Concubine Hui said with a gentle and warm demeanor, "What did I say to you just now?"
