In the remaining few days, Li Xiang was also making repeated preparations. The entire Tiance General's Mansion was in turmoil. The women in the mansion were also struggling, not knowing who should accompany Li Xiang south. When Miss Huaihua came out, everyone understood that no matter what these people's family background was, no matter what their requirements were, they were sent by the Crown Princess herself, so this time the trip south would definitely be Miss Huaihua's.
Just as the Crown Princess guessed, although Miss Huaihua does not have a prominent family background and does not have extraordinary capital, she came from the Eastern Palace. Based on this reason alone, many people in this mansion are surpassed. If anyone is not convinced, they can go to the Eastern Palace to argue, and let these people argue with their mother-in-law. I guess after you finish arguing, the Tiance General's Mansion will have no place to stand.
Perhaps the most depressed person among them is Cheng Luan. The women in the mansion gave birth to children one after another, but there was no movement in Cheng Luan's belly. Except for giving birth to a daughter in the early years, if she wants to keep her status now, she must have the next generation of the royal family.
Before, the others followed Li Xiang south, and Cheng Luan had no choice but to stay in Chang'an City to take care of her children, but unfortunately some things were not what she expected.
This time everything had been planned, and the child was already a little older, so he could be entrusted to his mother-in-law or his mother from his natal family. But unexpectedly, a girl named Huaihua came from the East Palace, and everything was set in stone.
Tomorrow Li Xiang will lead a part of the army to leave Chang'an City and head to Vietnam, so tonight the General Tiance's Mansion will hold a banquet to entertain all the officials and their families. The next time there is such an opportunity, we will probably have to wait for Li Xiang to come back.
Li Xiang was also a person with extremely meticulous observation skills. He found that although Cheng Luan had a smile on his face, there was a hint of sadness between his eyebrows. Thinking about what happened this time, he understood. Although Cheng Luan did not say it directly, Li Xiang could guess that the things he had prepared for many days were directly blocked by the East Palace. The irritation in his heart can be imagined. Now he can still put on a smile to entertain these people, which is already a very difficult thing. If it were those who were not so cunning, they would be unwilling to do anything at this moment.
After eating and drinking, these people did not drink together. Everyone knew that they must have something to say. No matter who they were, they had to explain a few things to their families before going to the front line. So after finishing their meal, these people hurriedly left the Tiance General's Mansion, leaving time for Li Xiang and his women.
Li Xiang looked at his children one by one, gave some instructions on what to do next, and then returned to Cheng Luan's yard. Because the others had to take care of their children, not many people wanted to go south with Li Xiang. They also knew that the eldest lady had already had such an idea, so they didn't follow her. Now they didn't expect that the East Palace would send someone, which was also a joke for the eldest lady.
A few days ago, tailors came to our house. They are among the best in the capital. They specially made several sets of southern clothes for the lady so that she would not be too hot when she went there. Unexpectedly, after everything was done here, an order from the East Palace changed everything. If you still want to go, it may not be a good idea. Disobeying elders is a serious crime in feudal society.
Especially in the imperial family, where no matter how small matters are, the people will take everything as a topic of conversation. You are supposed to educate the world, but if you can't even do this yourself, how can you educate the world? How can you expect the people to follow you?
"Everything is almost packed. I've packed up everything in this yard for you. If there are any left in other yards, you'll have to ask them for them in person. I can't get them for you."
When Cheng Luan saw Li Xiang coming in from outside, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words. No matter what happened in the past, this situation would never happen. This time, he was probably too disappointed. After all, he had been preparing for half a month. Who knew that the newcomer would replace the old one? Anyone would be unable to control their emotions.
Cheng Ying looked at her sister helplessly. The young lady's temper came out again. She had thought that after being the wife of General Tiance for such a long time, she should be able to control her temper well, but she didn't expect that it was just wishful thinking. Today, she finally exploded.
Li Xiang didn't care about this matter and asked the people below to go down first. Everyone knew that the two masters had something to say, so staying here as a light bulb would most likely cost them their lives, so these people left in a hurry.
"I'll take my leave."
Cheng Ying winked at her sister, and then left with these people. For Cheng Ying, she could see all this very clearly and adjust her emotions. This was because she had seen a lot, and she had seen a lot at home in the past few days.
Later, after arriving at the Eastern Palace, such things happened even more frequently. If she couldn't adjust herself properly, she would suffocate herself sooner or later. It was a pity that her sister had always done well, but she got into trouble the night before going to the battle.
"It's all right as long as you have everything you need. I don't have much in other people's yards either. I know Mother was wrong this time, but in my current position, I can't say much. Just be understanding."
Li Xiang didn't know how to comfort her about this matter. After all, Cheng Luan had been preparing for this for a long time, and Li Xiang had also made a promise. However, in this era, filial piety was the rule of the world. His mother could just send someone to overturn everything Li Xiang said. If you want to overthrow your mother, then probably your closest people will become alienated from you.
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Cheng Luan couldn't bear the grievance in her heart anymore and actually started to cry.
But thinking that her husband was going on an expedition tomorrow, she really couldn't bear to shed tears, so she wiped them away quickly to avoid being seen by others and causing trouble in the palace. She had already shown weakness and couldn't cause any more trouble.
