Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“It’s nothing much. 1 heard there are female soldiers in the north, so I wanted to form a team of female soldiers too. That was why I went to Imperial Uncle to request this.
“It so happens that day was the day he gave me his reply.”
“Female soldiers, did the Emperor agree?”
“He did, but only ten people are allowed for the time being. We’ll see the effect after a year.”
“Can I partic.i.p.ate?”
Princess Mingyu looked at her in surprise after hearing that. She quickly shook her head and said, “Forget it. You should prepare your bridal dowry.
“As for the candidates, I want to choose them from the commoners. They work hard, have strong bodies, and have good endurance. They are easier to train than the delicate n.o.bles.”
The thing she was wary of was that she was afraid of getting involved in the fight for the throne, so she had to be very careful with the people she let join her squad.
Yang Wanning didn’t insist anymore after hearing that.
“Oh right, after you returned, did the mother and daughter make things difficult for you?” Mingyu asked.
“Not really. At least they won’t do that on the surface.”
“That’s good. Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone as arrogant as those Cuis. How can they blatantly mistreat their stepdaughter?”
As Mingyu said this, she thought of how Zhou Jiaqing had also caused trouble for Zhou Ying.
She remembered her kick at the banquet, turned to Zhou Ying, and asked, “Sister Zhou, do you know martial arts?”
“When I was in the countryside, I did learn some fist and foot skills for self-defense, but it can’t compare to real martial arts.” Zhou Ying replied.
“That’s not bad. At the very least, I can’t muster the strength of that kick.” Mingyu stood up and suggested, “Let’s have a spar.”
“You little girl, they are here to visit your grandmother. How can you fight during such a visit?
“If you really wanted to spar, just arrange another time.”
“Greetings, Imperial Mother. Why are you here?” Mingyu immediately stood up and approached her mother with a smile.
Zhou Ying and Yang Wanning looked at each other and immediately stood up to follow suit.
“Alright, alright. Take a seat.” Consort An called them to sit down while she walked to the head of the table.
She looked at Zhou Ying and asked, “Zhou Ying, right? Have you settled down in your new residence?”
“The preparations are almost complete. When the time comes, I would like to invite Consort An to our housewarming party.”
“Oh, when is it held?”
“It has yet to be decided, but because of the new year, we don’t plan to hold a big event. We’ll just invite a few close families to come to our house to get to know each other.”
“That’s right. I’m sure no one will hold a grand banquet this year.” Consort An nodded in agreement.
After that, she asked them about their hometown situation and Gu Chengrui’s medical skills.
Zhou Ying could naturally tell that she was worried about Gu Chengrui’s medical skills.
However, Zhou Ying knew Gu Chengrui’s skills could quickly control Madam Consort An’s condition with traditional medicine. Therefore, she comforted Consort An, saying, “As long as Madam Consort follows the doctor’s advice, she can suppress her illness in less than half a month.
“However, it would be difficult to recover completely.”
“That means that this kind of illness requires long-term medication?”
“Yes, if you can completely avoid eating meat and exercise more, recovery is possible.”
Consort An nodded silently.
Because Madam Consort An was old, she only went out if she had something to do, especially in the winter.
Therefore, moving around was tough for her, much less exercising.
After chatting for a while, Consort An left.
Mingyu and the other two didn’t continue chatting. Instead, they walked around the courtyard and returned to Madam Consort An’s room.
They did not expect Consort An to be waiting there already.
After a while, Gu Chengrui came out from the room.. Consort An immediately stood up and asked, “Chengrui, how is she now?”
