After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

On the third day, Jiang Chi and Princess July came to pay their respects and offer tea to the Ningyuan Marquis and his wife. Princess July felt ashamed. The Ningyuan Marquis' wife was indeed a very easy person to get along with. She glanced at Jiang Chi coldly and said:

"My lord, there is no need to cover up for my son. He is used to being unruly. He should be taught a lesson for this matter. Instead, my lord has been implicated."

After that, the wife of Ningyuan Marquis handed the ancestral jade bracelet to Princess Qiyue and said, "Although this is not a very valuable bracelet, it is passed down from our ancestors, from generation to generation. It was originally a pair, and one was given to your sister-in-law Yuru, so this one should be given to the princess."

Princess Qiyue was flattered and said, "I just married into the mansion, this..."

Before Princess Qiyue finished speaking, Ningyuan Hou said, "Princess, please accept it. Your mother told me privately this morning that Princess Chang'an is a heroic woman, and that you have not received the love of your mother and father since you were young. She asked me not to treat you as a daughter-in-law, but to treat you as my own daughter."

When Princess Qiyue heard this, she felt warm and sad in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. Jiang Chi said, "Mother is going to treat you as her own daughter. This is a good thing. Keep it."

Princess July nodded, put the bracelet on her right wrist, bowed to the Ningyuan Marquis and his wife, and expressed her gratitude.

After having breakfast together, Jiang Chi and Princess July went to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, Qin Yan and Lin Luoling. This was agreed in advance and was considered a return visit.

The Ningyuan Marquis and his wife had prepared the return gifts early on. Most of them were things that Lin Luoling would use and need for giving birth to the prince. Although they were not expensive, some of them were made by the Ningyuan Marquis' wife herself. The thoughtfulness made the Empress Dowager and Qin Yan sigh again and again that the Ningyuan Marquis' wife was so thoughtful.

After lunch, the Empress Dowager closed the palace door and had a private conversation with Princess July for half an hour before Jiang Chi and Princess July returned to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

In the afternoon, Yun Xi came to see Qin Yan and said that Emperor De Shun was worried about Qin Yan and Princess July before his death. Now that everything is settled, he can return to the northern border to report to Emperor De Shun so that the spirit of Emperor De Shun can rest in peace.

He added: "I have served the late emperor since I was young. Without the late emperor, how could I have lived to this day? I feel uncomfortable leaving the late emperor alone in the northern border. Please issue an order to let me guard the northern border."

Qin Yan understood Yun Xi's words very clearly. He wanted to go to the northern border to guard the body of Emperor De Shun and fulfill his unfulfilled wish. Wasn't this also guarding the northern border for him?

Qin Yan personally helped Yun Xi up and said, "Okay!"

On that day, Qin Yan issued an edict, conferring the title of Marquis of Zhenbei on Yunxi, commanding 8,000 soldiers to guard the northern border, and he was not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict.

The eunuchs in the palace of Tianqi Kingdom, no matter how favored they were by the emperor, had never been given the title of marquis. Yun Xi held the imperial edict and kowtowed to Qin Yan repeatedly:

"I will never let you down. As long as I am still alive, I will protect the northern border from war."

After Yun Xi returned to the northern border, he left behind eight thousand soldiers and the rest followed Dou Tong back to the capital.

Qin Yan summoned Jiang Chi into the palace, signed a military order, made Dou Tong Jiang Chi's deputy general, and ordered 30,000 soldiers to attack the eight countries in the southern border.

The next day, before the imperial edict was issued, Princess July entered the palace with an angry face and held her red horse whip to find Qin Yan, "Cousin, why don't you make me a female general and let me go to war with Jiang Chi?"

She looked like she would fight Qin Yan if he didn't agree to let her follow Jiang Chi to the southern border.

Qin Yan smiled and said, "I didn't say that I won't let you go with Jiang Chi to the southern border, but whether Jiang Chi takes you with him or not is not up to me."

“Hmph…” Princess July crossed her arms, her eyes wide open as she said, “In the past, my mother was made a female general by my uncle, and she followed my father to the battlefield. Cousin, you are clearly looking down on me and deliberately bullying me. I’m going to complain to my cousin’s wife…”

Before she could finish her words, Princess July ran out of the Zhengde Hall in a huff. Qin Yan raised his hand to stop Princess July, but had to drop it. He shook his head helplessly and summoned the Minister of the Central Secretariat into the palace. He redrafted an edict, conferring the title of Duke of Zhennan on Jiang Chi, commanding an army of 30,000 to conquer the southern border, Dou Tong as Jiang Chi's left deputy general, and Princess July as General Anping, Jiang Chi's right deputy general.

Qin Yan, holding the drafted imperial edict, had just stepped into Lin Luoling's Fulu Palace when he heard Princess July crying and complaining, "Cousin-in-law must make the decision for me. How can my cousin be so cruel to me? I've been married for less than a month, and my cousin wants Jiang Chi to go to the southern border and won't let me go with him. He wants me to stay in the capital alone. I won't accept it, I won't accept it..."

Lin Luoling consoled him, "Don't worry, your cousin would never let you go with my brother to the southern border. I'm afraid my brother is worried about you, so he left you in the capital."

Standing outside the door, she saw Qin Yan's Xiang Jin and was about to report it, but then she saw Qin Yan waving at her, indicating that she didn't need to report it.

Qin Yan entered the palace holding the imperial edict and said, "Who said your cousin is cruel? I can see that he is pampering you. Since you want to be a female general, I will grant your wish. This is the imperial edict. Here, take a look.

If your husband disagrees with you joining the army to attack the southern border, you can go and cry to him instead of complaining to your cousin’s wife. If I am driven to the study tonight, your husband will have to come to the palace to play chess with me. Anyway, he will go to the southern border tomorrow. If you don’t feel sorry for him not being able to sleep all night, then I naturally don’t care.”

Princess July was completely focused on the imperial edict, and didn't take Qin Yan's words to heart at all. When she saw the imperial edict appointing her as General Anping and accompanying Jiang Chi to the southern border, her tear-stained face suddenly turned into a smile and she said:

"I know my cousin loves me. I will go back home to pack the things I need for the war. I won't beg for mercy from my cousin and his wife here."

Before she could finish her words, Princess July ran out of the main hall, leaving Qin Yan and Lin Luoling smiling at each other.

After returning home, Jiang Chi had no objection to Princess July joining the army to the southern border, but the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis refused it outright.

"The soldiers are all rough men. You can go by yourself. How can you let the princess go with you?"

Ning Yuanhou nudged his wife's arm. She rarely got angry and said, "Why are you nagging me? If we are going to go to the southern border, you should go. How can you let Jiang Chi and the princess go when they just got married?

Didn't you always say you were an invincible general? Why didn't you ask His Majesty for orders at this time?"

Seeing this, Jiang Chi pulled Princess July out of the house quietly, and returned to their courtyard to plan how to pack the things they would need for the expedition.

The Ningyuan Marquis and his wife argued behind closed doors for a while, and then his wife burst into tears. The Ningyuan Marquis had to coax her for a long time before she gave up.

The next day, Jiang Chi, Princess July, and Dou Tong set out for the southern border, and Qin Yan and Lin Luoling led all the officials to see them off.

Just as Jiang Chi got on the carriage and was about to go to the battle, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves. A soldier in armor stopped on horseback not far in front of Qin Yan, raised his military banner and reported:

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent military report from the Marquis of Zhenbei."
