General Zhenyuan of Xiliang and King Cheng secretly colluded and joined forces to provoke a war, so it was impossible for him not to go to the battlefield.

When General Zhenyuan went to the battlefield, he would not leave King Cheng in the mansion. He would definitely take King Cheng to the Xiliang military camp to facilitate contact between King Cheng and the spies left in the Da Chu military camp, so that they could cooperate internally and externally to capture cities and territories.

Shen Wan also knew that Xie Jingyan would go and capture Cheng Wang personally, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Half a month later, news was received that General Zhenyuan of Xiliang was leading the army to the battle.

The next day after receiving the news, Xie Jingyan asked for permission to go to the border at the morning court, but the emperor did not agree, and neither did the officials.

The battlefield is no joke, swords and guns are merciless. It would be fine if Xie Jingyan was just an ordinary prince, but he is the crown prince. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, what will happen to the future of Da Chu?

The court has so many military generals, and it's not like no one is available. Prince Ling must go to the battlefield.

The emperor knew that Xie Jingyan was going to capture King Cheng, but King Cheng was hiding in Xiliang and could not be captured overnight. The emperor was even more afraid that Xie Jingyan would be eager to avenge his mother and do something risky.

However, no one could stop Xie Jingyan from doing what he decided to do. If he didn't get approval today, he would just ask for it again tomorrow. He would always be able to get his father's approval.

Besides, even if the emperor disagrees, can he not go to the border?

The emperor knew better than anyone that his son was not so obedient. So when Xie Jingyan asked for permission to go to the battlefield for the third time, the emperor nodded helplessly.

However, the emperor did not let Xie Jingyan leave immediately. At that time, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yan Mansion had already set the wedding date for Cheng Yi and Yan Yue. The emperor asked him to drink their wedding wine before going to the border.

It was just a few days late, so Xie Jingyan had no reason not to agree.

As soon as Xie Jingyan agreed, he went to see the emperor and mentioned that Du Cheng'an and Yan Qing'er's wedding date had also been set, which would be four days after Cheng Yi and Yan Yue's.

The emperor immediately changed his mind, "Why not just drink all their wedding wine before going? It won't cost you another three or five days."

that's it--

The day Xie Jingyan went to the battlefield was set on the day after Du Chengan and Yan Qing'er got married.

After getting the emperor's permission, Xie Jingyan left the palace. On his way back to Prince Ling's Mansion, he happened to meet Prince Yanping and Tang Ze and others who were patrolling the city.

Several people came over to say hello, and the Prince of Yanping asked, "Did the emperor agree to let you go to the border?"

"Ah."

"When are we leaving?" asked the Prince of Yanping.

Xie Jingyan glanced at Du Chengan and said, "After drinking his and Qing'er's wedding wine, we will set off."

The Prince of Yanping said, "I will go to the border with you."

Xie Jingyan laughed, "Will Prince Yanping agree?"

Prince Yanping smiled and said, "If you can convince the emperor to agree, why can't I convince my father?"

"I am coming too!"

Tang Ze and Lu Cheng said in unison.

Du Cheng'an was riding on horseback.

want to cry.

I always feel like he's a step slow in everything he does.

The engagement was slow, and the marriage was cut in line. Now that the wedding date has finally been set, it turns out that the Prince of Yanping and his family are going to the border with Prince Ling.

If he hadn't gotten married, his parents might have let him go, but he had just gotten married, so how could his parents agree? He also couldn't bear to marry Qing'er and then leave her to go to the border.

Xie Jingyan only spoke a few words to them before returning home. The Prince of Yanping, Tang Ze and Lu Cheng continued to patrol the city. Du Cheng'an rode on horseback, somewhat absent-minded.

Before he finished patrolling the street, Du Cheng'an said, "I have something to go back to the mansion first."

Without waiting for the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze to ask, Du Cheng'an rode away on his horse.

His wedding is imminent, and Duke Du's Mansion is busy preparing for his wedding banquet. Princess Huyang has been very busy these days. Du Cheng'an is her only biological child, and he didn't grow up by her side. Princess Huyang always feels guilty about him. Marriage is a major event in a lifetime, and it must be done to perfection. She doesn't feel at ease to let others do it, so she must do it herself.

In addition, I have been worried about the empress dowager's health these days, and I tend to have wild thoughts when I'm idle. I can't sleep all night. When I get busy, I fall asleep as soon as I'm tired, and I feel better than before.

As he was giving instructions to the steward, Du Cheng'an walked in and said, "Mom, I'm not getting married yet."

Princess Huyang's smile froze on her face.

Everyone in the room looked at him, and then at each other.

Does their young master not want to live anymore?

The woman he wants to marry is Prince Ling's cousin. The wedding date has been set and the wedding invitations are ready. They will be sent out the next day or the day after tomorrow. Everyone in the mansion is happily waiting for the Crown Prince's wife to come home, but the Crown Prince says he can't get married at this critical juncture. How can Prince Ling forgive him for bullying Miss Yan and the Yan family like this?

Princess Huyang asked, "What do you mean by not getting married yet?"

He was the one who requested the marriage, and he was the one who begged for the wedding date.

Not to mention that Prince Ling would beat him if he knew, Princess Huyang was almost unable to hold back at this moment.

Du Chengan said, "Prince Ling is going to the battlefield, Prince Yanping and Tang Ze are also going, and my son also wants to go to the battlefield."

"Wait until Xiliang withdraws its troops and my son returns from the battlefield before getting married."

Du Cheng'an has a superb skill in archery. Before he returned to his ancestral home, he was unwilling to be just a small hunter. He also wanted to go to the battlefield one day and make achievements. However, after joining the City Patrol Office, he suppressed this idea. He thought that he could not go to the battlefield as long as he had an official position. Now that the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze are going, he is also eager to go.

He will shoot his arrows into the chest of his enemies!

But would Princess Huyang agree to let him go to the battlefield?

Princess Huyang was worried even when Du Cheng'an left the capital, let alone going to the battlefield.

Princess Huyang refused without a second thought, "I don't care whether Prince Yanping and the others go to the battlefield or not, you stay in Kyoto and patrol the city."

A mother worries when her son is away from home, let alone when his son is going to a battlefield where he might die.

The disappearance of King Cheng and the serious illness of the Queen Mother were enough to worry her. Now she was worried all day long about her son going to the border. Isn't this going to cost her her life?

Du Cheng'an wanted to persuade him again, but Princess Huyang said angrily, "Patrolling the city is what you should do, go patrol the city!"

Du Cheng'an was taken away by the nanny.

Princess Huyang was so angry that her eyes turned red. When the prince consort came back to see her, he asked, "What happened?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he ran directly into the muzzle of Princess Huyang's gun. Princess Huyang said angrily, "Isn't it because you and your son are angry?!"

The eldest son-in-law felt that he was being blamed for his injustice. "Why is it that An'er and I are angry?"

He definitely didn't, and An'er certainly didn't.

Princess Huyang said with red eyes, "You sent An'er to the City Patrol Division. Now, he wants to postpone his wedding and go to the battlefield with Prince Yanping and his men!"

It turned out to be this.

The eldest son-in-law coaxed, "It's a good thing that An'er is willing to serve the country."

Princess Huyang glared at him, "The battlefield is so dangerous, and you still say it's a good thing?!"

The eldest son-in-law said, "An'er is our son. The men on the battlefield are also the sons of their parents. If they can go to the battlefield, why can't An'er?"

"If everyone thinks like you, won't there be no one guarding the country's borders?"

Princess Huyang was so choked by these two sentences that she couldn't say a word.

Princess Huyang was furious and said, "Go, both of you, go to the battlefield, and leave me alone in Kyoto!"
