Chapter 45 Progress
Things were progressing very smoothly. The half-grown boy, no matter whether he was studying the words of a sage or swords, swords and halberds, most of them had a passion for it.

Especially the two pampered little girls Meng Rongzhi and her sister Meng Rongya at the beginning, it is hard to shrink back.

As for their parents, no matter what they think in their hearts, it is difficult to refuse anything in the face of big right and wrong, especially Xu Shu also promised not to let these teenagers do dangerous things, it is nothing more than training themselves.

Living in a place like Chengyang County, it is not an incomprehensible behavior for children to grow up quickly. Even if there are a few grandparents who feel sorry for their grandchildren, they can only acquiesce.

And the most unpleasant thing was Meng Rongzhi - she put on eye drops and made promises in front of Xu Shu, she just wanted to do what her father and brother did.

However, Xu Shu logically handed over the things she was busy with these days to these young people - that is, to appease the emotions of the people, ensure the law and order of the county, and prepare for strategic materials.

She did not let go, and arranged Yang Luo, who was more familiar with county affairs, to supervise, and Zhou Xu to assist in order to better deploy the county officials. After all, who would dare not give face to the county magistrate?
Can……

This is too unenthusiastic!

Meng Rongzhi attended the logistics support mobilization meeting held by Xu Shu, set aside two ears to listen to Xu Shu's arrangements, but still looked at Xu Shu again and again, hoping that she would change her mind.

But Xu Shu didn't notice this at all. She was still concerned about the situation of the war, and hurriedly encouraged the group of boys and girls, and urged them to start working quickly.

Xu Shu is good at riding horses and has a certain foundation in riding and shooting. After coming to Taizhou, because the folk customs here are much more open than those in the capital, it is still a trend for women to wear Hufu while riding horses and hunting, and Xu Shu has followed suit.

She felt that not only would she not be held back by going to the battlefield, but she could even gain something.

It's a pity that it was stopped by Chen Yufeng:
"Your Highness, you don't need to come forward in person at all, it's too risky. Please ask Cheng Junhou to bring some parts to assist Captain Meng."

He is the head of the bodyguard assigned by Pei Peng after he opened the mansion. He has followed Pei Peng for more than ten years and also watched Xu Shu grow up. Although there is a difference in superiority and inferiority, he can still persuade a few words.

He came from a side branch of a small family, and he didn't get much resources by following the orthodox literati route, so he simply practiced martial arts. Because he was good-looking and his family background was not too bad, he became a small guard in the Imperial Army.

According to the system, the princess opened the mansion, and there were hundreds of eunuchs.

Pei Peng didn't want to choose those guards with too complicated forces behind them, and those well-connected children were also unwilling to burn Pei Peng's cold heart at that time, so they chose Chen Yufeng.

After going through several changes later, Chen Yufeng was gradually promoted to the leader who controlled all Pei Peng's guards.

Therefore, his abilities were gained through practical training, and he knew very well that all honor and disgrace depended on Pei Peng and his daughter. Not to mention that Chengyang County had not yet reached the most critical moment, even if it did, he would choose to protect Xu Shu. Leave instead of accompanying Xu Shu to the battlefield in person.

Xu Shu's persuasion failed several times.

Although the hundreds of troops raised by the Princess Mansion are not under the command of Chen Yufeng, and they belong entirely to the Princess Mansion and absolutely obey Xu Shu's orders, she does not want to bypass Chen Yufeng to do so.

Her mother said that subordinates who know that loyal words are harsh and want to advise them should treat them with sincerity.

She took a step back:
"Then let's take a team to visit Xiaoli Village. I don't know if the war has affected their livelihood. Many people in the village have not yet stored food. Besides, Xiaoli Village is on the east side, while the Hu people invaded from the northwest. border guards, we will not run into any danger when we go to Xiaoli Village."

This time Chen Yufeng did not stop him.

Xu Shu left half of her guards at the princess mansion, and brought half of them to follow, and asked Cheng Junhou to select a team of hundreds of brave and capable fighters, led by a village chief surnamed Feng. Go to Xiaoli Village.

Of course, Xu Shu didn't know at this time that she thought she would not encounter the dangerous Xiaoli Village, but instead she accidentally fulfilled her wish of "cutting Hu intestines and drinking Hu blood".

But in the capital thousands of miles away, Pei Peng didn't know that her daughter was about to be in danger.

She is participating in one banquet after another in the intoxicating warm wind of the bustling capital.

Princess Chengyang, who had been silent for several months, became a hotly discussed figure once again when she entered Beijing.

She actually won the trust of another emperor again.

This is simply an irrefutable fact - if he didn't trust her, how could Pei Wei accept the nobles and girls from the clan family who he didn't accept into the palace?

All these changes were only due to Pei Peng's entry into the palace.

Even those who asked Pei Peng for help never expected it to go so smoothly.

After all, it is a dynasty that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Even if the imperial power is gradually falling, people who can influence the thoughts of the king of a country still attract many people.

All kinds of exquisite invitations came pouring in like snowflakes. Pei Peng picked up many previously estranged relationships and also gained new friendships.

Then, at the flower viewing banquet held by the Wang family, she met Wang Shu, the confirmed future queen.

Pei Peng took Cheng Fei with him.

After Cheng Fei returned home, although she received unanimous care from her parents, siblings, she couldn't help experiencing the ancient marriage urging scene.

She couldn't get to the point of being dragged directly to meet the man, but it was hard for her to bear the horror story of "Xiaohua next door is about the same age as you and has a son".

Xiaohua from the neighbor's family is only 16 years old, and her son is born. In her era, the Women's Federation should be involved.

Cheng Fei was overwhelmed by the disturbance, so she took the initiative to come to Pei Peng to live with her.

And in Pei Peng's selfish heart, she really didn't want Cheng Fei to marry at this time, especially a family she didn't know and didn't control.

She simply asked Cheng Fei to stay.

The royal family hosted a grand banquet.

On the one hand, the daughter of the family was chosen to be the queen. Although it had been decided before, the imperial edict had just been issued, which finally made everyone in the Wang family feel at ease.

On the other hand, the handsome prince, the younger brother of the queen-to-be Wang Shu, also returned from traveling.

Although his travels were only under the protection of dozens of people, from the capital to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and then to his maternal grandfather's house to visit his relatives, among his peers who were studying hard, he still had seen the world.

After all the princes return to Beijing, they will formally enter the social arena, gain fame and respect, form a good relationship, and then with the help of the family and prospective brother-in-law, they will start to choose a dignified official position, until they rise step by step and rank among the three princes.

For these two purposes, the Wang family naturally wants to show off their own strength and outstanding juniors.

And Pei Peng would never refuse.

She is not that interested in princes, she has not yet entered the official career, everything is unknown, and it is not just that the Wang family can create a Sangong just by creating momentum.

But she was really curious about Wang Shu.

This is mainly because of her mother.
