The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
40. Zhu Man Xie's Wedding Is Set
The officers walked out of the meeting room with their confident smiles. Everything that Lu Jing Yu said inside the meeting room had apparently given the confidence of the officers who had previously fallen after experiencing the multiple times of war with difficulty. They only managed to survive and still suffered a lot of losses. Many soldiers were wounded and also died in the war this time.
Eastern Chu had always had an unpredictable movement. Their war strategy was also always fickle and strange. And the most unexpected thing was that they had always managed to take advantage of the circumstances to continue suppressing the Shao warriors.
After being urged for the past half a month, despite the addition of the relief soldiers from the capital, they would still be outnumbered and most likely if this continued without any solution, they would lose in the end.
Their spirit is full now. Their confidence also increased. They went to prepare their men to fight against the Eastern Chu forces using the new strategy Lu Jing Yu had told them.
"Indeed Deserve to be the wife married by His Majesty King Rui. Not only beautiful but also capable." Slaahs atu officer just gave orders to his men.
"really. We are also lucky to meet the great Empress Rui." Those who have lived on the military base for many years do not know what happened in the capital all along. So they had no idea how bad Lu Jing Yu's image was out there. Right now they were simply praising Lu Jing Yu's prowess.
While Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi were busy facing the enemy, in the marriage capital Pei Qin Yang and Zhu Man Xie were finally set. And it is one week later calculated with the horoscope of both the bride and groom.
"Sister you are very lucky to be married to Prince Pei Qin Yang. I heard that the fourth prince is a handsome and gentle pyramid. Our brother is very lucky." Zhu Yu Yan, Zhu Man Xie's younger brother who was two years younger than him congratulated his older brother cheerfully.
"Yu Yan don't make fun of big brother like that." Zhu Man Xie immediately blushed. Like a young girl talking about her first love.
"I'm glad you can move on. The third prince of loss cannot marry the elder brother. It was because he had been framed by that unlucky girl just getting married. Otherwise, the fourth prince would definitely marry an older brother right?"
"Yu Yan don't talk like that if anyone else hears there will be a problem."
"Sister I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it that way."
"Have forgotten it. We better get home soon or grandpa's gonna punish us."
Zhu Yao Yan's. The old man who became the negligence of the Zhu family was still the most feared person in the residence. Not only in Zhu's residence, Zhu You Yan's influence in the palace was also not to be underestimated. No one was able to offend Zhu You Yan. Even Emperors. In the entire Shao empire, only retired emperors could offend him.
Currently in the Shao empire there is a struggle for the position of crown prince that has not been set. Competent princes vied for the position. And Zhu Yao Yan was one of the parties that all princes wanted to win over and even everyone wanted to curry favor with him. For any prince supported by him is likely the country is the most potential candidate for crown prince.
As for Minister Lu, he had always been neutral before, but currently one of the princes was his son-in-law, so it was already training which prince he would support.
Then after the marriage between Pei Qin Yang and Zhu Man Xie again made the capital turbulent. If the two were to get married instead Zhu You Yan would side with Pei Qin Yang? In addition to the granddaughter-in-law, Pei Qin Yang was also his outer granddaughter from his own daughter.
The turmoil in the capital has always had nothing to do with the border hundreds of kilometers away. Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu had not heard of the news. There is no right more important than defending the sovereignty of the border. So news that is unimportant and has nothing to do with them will never get to their ears.
It had been five days that Lu Jing Yu had been staying at the military base. And it was already late at night when Lu Jing Yu returned to her room. Which was also Pei Zhang Xi's room.
"You've worked hard today rest first." Pei Zhang Xi also returned with him. The rooms at the military base are not identical to those in the capital. And they had to share in a cramped room.
"Mm. I'll take a shower first." Lu Jing Yu was already used to bathing before going to bed.
"It's already night. The air is very cold. Don't catch a cold."
"alright. I'll ask Xiao Bei to make you some honey tea later."
"Thank you Your Majesty."
Pei Zhang Xi came out to look for Xiao Bei. But Xiao Bei was going to the bathroom. This was not the residence of King Rui's many servants. Everyone is basically serving themselves. There would usually be Mo Ting and Mo Han ready to serve Pei Zhang Xi. But ever since the intense assault from Eastern Chu, those two Pei Zhang Xi confidants were busy with their affairs. And there's no one around right now. So inevitably went to the kitchen to ask the cook to make some honey tea for Lu Jing Yu.
"I wonder what King Rui and his wife did once they entered into their room." One of the soldiers in the kitchen spoke to his friend.
"What else? They are married couples. What do you think they can't do?"
"But I often see them just returning to the midnight room. They are both very busy. I guess they won't have the strength to fight on the bed anymore. And also, the bed in this place is hard. Seeing the Empress able to last for so long was already amazing. If Empress Rui is a spoiled young lady, let alone be at home here. They wouldn't set foot in a place like this."
"This is the difference between marriage because of status and marriage because of deep love."
"I really want to see their display of affection in public. They usually look very cold to each other. Not like any other couple."
"How else. King Rui is very cold. I now feel sorry for the Empress."
"You're right. The empress was bright and cheerful like a feisty morning sun. As for King Rui..." The sentence was not finished when someone had it constructed from behind.
"Ehem.. do you have so much free time that you can talk about your boss so freely?"
A group of soldiers who were gossiping turned their heads in unison and saw Pei Zhang Xi's dark face.
"Sorry Your Majesty. We will resume our duties soon. Excuse me." A group of soldiers who had just been gossiping like women were now fleeing quickly as fast as rabbits that ran over the desert by day.
"Am I really that cold?"
