A few days after returning from the Forbidden Garden, Ying Dongjun ordered Lu Siniang to go to Taohua Village to bring twenty young and strong people.

In addition to these twenty people, there are two teenagers, Tao Chengnuo and Asi.

After seeing the person, Ying Dongjun couldn't help but feel silent.

Xiao Jixiang looked around and couldn't help but laugh.

The old patriarch Tao said before that the dead soldiers he trained were no different from ordinary farm men, but they were a little exaggerated.

These twenty young and strong men with their heads raised their chests had to do farm work, but also learn martial arts under the wind and frost and scorching sun. They all had their faces black and red, much rougher than the farm men. They were now wearing short brown cloth and standing in front of the princess on straw sandals.

Maybe I know that it is not easy to go back this trip. Everyone is carrying a huge bag on their backs. When they move, the bag will be jingling, as if they bring all the pots and pans at home.

Asi touched his nose and explained to them embarrassedly: "Princess, don't be surprised. My grandfather sometimes takes them to the mountains and forests for training. Everyone is used to bringing outfits when going out. Considering that he wants to stay in the Princess' Mansion for a long time, he brought him to change clothes and bedding when he came here, hoping to save some expenses for the Princess' Mansion."

Tao Chengnuo nodded aside.

Ying Dongjun smiled when he heard this, "I have ordered Zhou Jialing to arrange a residence for you, go down and settle down first, and have a full meal."

Zhou Yan quickly stood up and said, "Come with me."

The princess invited so many people to come at once, but Zhou Yan was much calmer than before.

Because now he has money and has the confidence when he has money, he feels that it is not a big problem to raise about twenty guards. After all, these guards are not like the boy of the Yu family, who have to wear clothes in Nishang Pavilion. Judging from their simple and honest appearance, they should be able to support them.

When Zhou Yan took the people down, Xiao Jixiang: Why don’t I prepare more ointments and apply them to their faces.

The ointment he gave to Yu Shisanlang before was very effective. Now Yu Shisanlang has much thinner skin and tender flesh than before!

Ying Dongjun glanced at him, "How can we judge people by their appearance so much? They came to the mansion to do things, not to compare beauty."

Xiao Jixiang:???

Isn’t his superiors like him or his subordinates have the greatest interests?

Ying Dongjun ignored him and Shi Shiran returned to the house.

Not long after, Huamian came.

Hua Mian: Princess, are those newcomers all guards in the mansion?

Ying Dongjun knew that Hua Mian would definitely come back to ask, and said casually: "Yes, when I entered the palace last time, I told my grandmother that the mansion needed to add people, and my grandmother agreed and gave me the money."

Hua Mian: Where did the princess find these people?

Ying Dongjun: "Where did you find someone, please ask Lu Siniang, where will I care about these things?"

Hua Mian: Actually, if the princess wants to hire someone, she can ask Madam Hua to help find her. She is better than these people...

Ying Dongjun asked sincerely: "Lu Siniang said that because of her poor family, these people are willing to come to work hard for me as long as they give me a full meal. Can the people Hua Mama finds for me so cheap? Then I can change all these people!"

Flower cotton:...

Hua Mian was silent for a moment and bowed and left.

Even if Hua Mian comes to Princess's Mansion by herself, there are considerable monthly payments every month. If the princess's Mansion is unwilling to give money, even if she has the face of Madam Hua, no one is willing to come.

Maybe because these twenty or so guards have too simple appearance and style, they look not much different from those who are willing to work hard for a meal outside, so no one doubts their origins.

Hua Mian observed these people for several days and found that the guards were washing clothes and drying quilts, and their hands and feet were very quick. While eating, they held the bowl and squatted on the ground, while flying chopsticks, while talking about who had a sow in the east end of the village who gave birth to more than a dozen babies. The beautiful Erya at the west end of the village actually married the ordinary carpenter in the neighboring village.

After listening to it a few more times, Hua Mian lost interest again.

The secret guards from Taojia Village tried hard to adapt to the life of the princess's mansion. On the other hand, Empress Dowager Xiao also acted frequently for the affairs of the imperial guards.

When Gu Feng got to Dali Temple, he insisted that the matter of giving the imperial guards medicine was a mistake he made by his competitive spirit, and he was not instructed by anyone.

After several trials, no new evidence appeared, and Song Ze accepted Gu Fengqi's testimony.

Gu Fengqi was sentenced to dismissal for his good attitude of pleading guilty and never even took a board.

This is a relatively light treatment, because it was just a dismissal and did not say that it would never be hired. As long as the Gu family still stands tall, Gu Feng will not be able to return to the court for long.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao did not intend to let Gu Fengqi return to the Imperial Army, but discussed with the Marquis of Jing'an, intending to appoint Gu Fengqi's cousin Gu Fengzhao's cavalry general to temporarily replace Gu Fengqi's position.

Gu Fengzhao, who was not qualified, was suddenly hit by a big pie. After being stunned, he was very excited.

After the eldest son of Gu Xian of Jing'an Marquis passed away, the position of prince should actually fall on the second son. However, the old marquis did not discuss with anyone and directly asked the title of prince for the eldest grandson Gu Fengqi. For so many years, the old marquis has planned everything for Gu Fengqi, but his attitude towards Gu Fengzhao, who is also his grandson, has long been dissatisfied with the second wife.

Unexpectedly, something happened to Gu Fengqi this time, and such a great benefit fell on the second house.

Unfortunately, only the second wife of the Gu family was happy.

Gu Xian, who was talking to Gu Fengqi in the study, looked not good-looking.

Gu Feng, who had just come out of Dali Temple, got up and knelt in front of Gu Xian, with a look of shame on his face, "The grandson is incompetent and has let down his grandfather's teachings."

Gu Xian looked at Gu Fengqi and sighed, but still reached out to help him, "Get up."

Gu Fengqi stood up silently, lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Xian said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault."

Perhaps it was because of grandfather's comfort, Gu Fengqi's slightly pale face finally recovered a little bloody color.

"Fortunately, the Empress Dowager left the position of General Feiqi Guard to Feng Zhao."

Unexpectedly, Gu Xian snorted and said, "Give Feng Zhao the position of General of the Flying Cavalry Guard. What kind of good intentions did you want to be the Empress Dowager?"

Gu Fengqi was stunned, "What does grandfather mean?"

Gu Xian said: "Feng Zhao is far inferior to you in terms of reputation and ability. How can he convince the public after going to the Flying Cavalry Guard? The result is just at the mercy of others. The Empress Dowager wants to take the opportunity to seize the Flying Cavalry Guard."

Gu Xian has been in the court for many years. Although he has been on the route of military generals, his cunning is not as shallow as that of civil officials.

Gu Fengqi was not really stupid either, and immediately understood what Gu Xian meant.

"Did grandfather plan to refuse?"

Gu Xian sneered, "Reject? There is no room for the Gu clan to refuse! Although the Gu clan members have been obedient over the years, it is because they are beneficial. If the Marquis' Mansion loses the Flying Cavalry Guard, do you believe that they will be able to rebel tomorrow?"
