When Linglong returned, she helped Mu Chenshuang wash and change her clothes.
Linglong fastened the belt around Mu Chenshuang's waist. Because the fitted outfit was not as tight as the silk dress, the belt would be more constricting, and now the young lady's belly was slightly protruding.
"Miss, isn't this too tight? Will it affect your stomach?"
"It's alright, the force is not bad."
"The Marquis has summoned you to the training ground, Miss, and even asked you to change your clothes. He will definitely test you, Miss. You must be extra careful," Linglong said worriedly, thinking about how her young lady's belly was growing bigger every day, and that she would definitely be unable to hide it after six or seven months.
Mu Chenshuang comforted her, "Linglong, don't worry about me every day. I know what I'm doing and I'm not anxious at all, but you're so anxious every day. People who don't know the situation would think something has happened to you."
She knew Linglong was very worried about her, and no matter how much she said, she would probably still be anxious.
Linglong muttered, "I just couldn't help it, and now the Second Miss is back."
"Then you think your young lady is inferior to Mu Chunxi?" Mu Chenshuang asked in a feigned angry tone.
Linglong immediately denied it, "Of course not, Miss. You are a princess. Even if Miss Mu is outstanding, she cannot compare to you."
"Alright, Linglong, just do what you're supposed to do, don't worry about anything else."
Linglong nodded and said, "Miss, I understand."
"Good to know, don't look so gloomy in the future."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she tapped Linglong's head as a reminder.
After tidying up, Mu Chenshuang left with the guards.
When they arrived at the gate of the Marquis's residence, they encountered Mu Chunxi, who had changed into a dark blue outfit and had her long hair tied up high, giving her the air of a female knight-errant.
"Snowfall!"
When Mu Chunxi saw Mu Chenshuang, she took the initiative to greet her. According to etiquette, it would be very disrespectful for her to call Mu Chenshuang by her given name.
But she seemed quite amiable, and Lord Mu didn't say much about it.
Because the two are currently getting along in a friendly manner on the surface, Mu Chenshuang didn't pay much attention to this.
"Chunxi, are you going to the training ground too?"
Mu Chunxi nodded, "My father asked me to go there, probably to see the effects of my years of experience."
Mu Chenshuang responded calmly, "I'm quite curious too. Since you're asking, let's go together!"
"good."
Half an incense stick later.
The two arrived at the military training ground.
This is where soldiers in Kyoto usually train their physical fitness by riding horses and shooting arrows. Women rarely come here, but Mu Chenshuang and Mu Chunxi are different after all.
The guards led the two to the training ground.
At this moment, Lord Mu was supervising the soldiers' training on the high platform, accompanied by Shen Nanzhi. Now that he was reorganizing the Libei Army, he spent almost all his time here. The soldiers training below were a portion of the Libei Army.
"Even after so many years, the Libei Army's morale remains undiminished," Marquis Mu remarked, gazing down at the soldiers training below. His eyes lowered slightly, a somber expression settling over him.
Shen Nanzhi responded, "Indeed, the King of Libei is a brave general, and the soldiers he trains are naturally exceptionally brave."
Lord Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Nanzhi, saying in a heavy tone, "Nanzhi, now that you have control of the Libei Army, you must be careful and mindful of the situation."
Shen Nanzhi understood the meaning behind Lord Mu's words perfectly. "I know it in my heart, and I will pay more attention."
Lord Mu nodded and hummed in agreement, believing that Shen Nanzhi was capable of extricating himself from this power struggle.
