Chapter 251 If I Had Known This Would Happen, Why Did I Do It in the First Place?

Time passed day by day.

Yan Li traveled between the Ninth Prince's Mansion and the North Suburbs Military Camp every day, and gradually became one with the soldiers.

People can pretend for a day or two, but they can't pretend all the time.

Especially for something like training that requires hard work, it is even more impossible to do it just by forcing yourself.

Yan Li's performance in talent and perseverance has indeed been recognized by them.

If they had to obey her at first just because of the orders of their respective commanders, and later felt some pity for this princess because she was not squeamish, then half a month of training was enough for them to completely transform this pity into admiration.

Such a strong-willed woman does not need their pity. Even if she is very young, they will still give her the greatest finality and admiration.

During the days when Yan Li was busy with training, Jiang Yi was not idle either. She really felt a sense of pride these days.

The Jiang family had been asking people to talk to them, and Luo even told her in person that "there are no parents who are not good", asking her to put filial piety first and accumulate virtue for her daughter.

In response, Jiang Yi only said: "As the queen of Jin, I am accumulating virtue by letting the people of Jin live a good life. This virtue is enough to make my daughter rich and glorious for the rest of her life."

Luo was choked and her face turned red, and she couldn't say a word.

In addition to the Jiang family, the Xianwang Mansion and the concubines who were under house arrest also looked for opportunities to plead with Jiang Yi, especially Jiang Jingyue, who didn't know who bribed her, and sneaked out in the middle of the night and took a car all the way to the Guanyi to ask for an audience with Jiang Yi.

When Jiang Yi saw her, she was wearing a black cloak, like a shameful villain. After taking off the cloak, there were still scars on her face, which looked particularly miserable.

Of course, Jiang Jingyue looked pale and haggard, and cried miserably: "Aunt, please forgive me once, I really know I was wrong, please help us--"

"You don't have to beg me, I have always been cold-blooded." Jiang Yishang was indifferent to her tears, but sneered, "I have seen all kinds of tears over the years, sad, disguised, weak, and sympathetic, and I can see through them at a glance."

Jiang Jingyue knelt stiffly on the ground, holding her skirt tightly with both hands.

"Your tears look real, but it's a pity that they have nothing to do with me." Jiang Jingyue stood up and said casually, "The Jiang family has wronged me before, I can let them go, but I can't forgive them for abusing my daughter."

As he said that, he also condescended to pat Jiang Jingyue's face: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

"Aunt, I really know I was wrong--"

"Come here!" Jiang Yi ordered, and walked away without looking back, "Send the concubine of Prince Xian back to Prince Xian's mansion, and tell the guards outside the mansion that their defense is too lax and they can't even keep a weak woman. If the emperor knows, watch out for their heads."

Jiang Jingyue was dragged out by someone, and she said unwillingly: "Aunt! Aunt! Please--"

It's useless to beg anyone.

Jiang Yi stood in the courtyard, calmly and indifferently looking at Jiang Jingyue being dragged away, with no change in her expression, as if she was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

In fact, Jiang Jingyue was indeed a stranger to her.

When she was pregnant and returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Jingyue had just been born. After she gave birth to Yan Li, Jiang Jingyue was only a little over one year old.

After fourteen years of separation, no matter how many people say that blood is thicker than water, it is based on the premise that both parties value this blood relationship.

No one in the Jiang family can treat Yan Li well, how can she believe that blood is thicker than water?

"Mother." Yan Zheng walked over from under the eaves and saluted Jiang Yi, "I want to stay and protect my sister."m.

Jiang Yi turned to look at him: "Stay?"

Yan Zheng nodded, not much expression could be seen: "Mother needs to go back to preside over the government as soon as possible. If my sister doesn't go back with you for the time being, I will stay to protect her and go back with her when the time comes."

"No need." Jiang Yi shook his head slowly, "Your sister has someone to protect her."

Yan Zheng paused: "Mother, are you referring to the three thousand private soldiers?"

"In addition, there are masters arranged by Mu Cang." Jiang Yi said indifferently, "Mu Cang is very likely to protect her all the way back to Jin."

Yan Zheng was silent for a moment, his eyebrows slightly twisted: "Mother is really "Do you agree to my sister's marriage with the Ninth Prince of Mu?"

"They are already married, how can I object?" Jiang Yi glanced at him and asked indifferently, "Besides, the marriage relationship between Jin and Mu will be more conducive to the solidification of the alliance between the two countries and will benefit the people of both countries."

Yan Zheng thought about it and nodded slowly: "Yes."

"We will leave in three days." Jiang Yi made a decision, "You let the three of them prepare early."

"So anxious?"

Jiang Yi frowned: "We were delayed on the way here, and we can't stay in Mu for too long."

They left Jin in mid-March, and were delayed for some time because of other things on the way, otherwise they should have arrived at the end of March.

"Yes." Yan Zheng nodded in response, "but my sister..."

"What happened to Yan Li?"

"She has been staying in the military camp these days, living with three thousand private soldiers day and night." Yan Zheng frowned, "Isn't this bad for my sister's reputation?"

"Nothing is wrong." Jiang Yi was too lazy to explain to someone with a rigid mindset, "Go back and rest early."

Yan Zheng's expression was slightly stiff, and then he bowed and left: "Mother, go to rest early too."

Jiang Yi watched him leave, stood in the courtyard for a long time, and then turned back to his bedroom.

General Xuan picked extremely calm and reliable soldiers for Yan Li, and for various reasons, they were more loyal to the queen than ordinary soldiers.

On Yan Li's way back, Jiang Yi had made the best arrangements for her, and there was no need for any extra people to cause trouble.
