Chapter 135 General's Concubine 9
The old lady also hadn't slept all day. After learning about the emergency at the border, she has been frowning for the past few days.
Therefore, when her grandson was summoned to the palace today, the old lady knew what was going on.
"Madam, don't worry too much," Jiang Chunxi had been accompanying the old lady and had not yet returned. "The general is a lucky man. Even if he has to lead the troops to war again, he will definitely return safely."
"Alas, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. How can I not worry?" As she spoke, the old lady's eyes became red. "If Zhen'er is the same as his grandfather and father, then I..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh," Jiang Chunxi quickly interrupted the old lady, "Old lady, please don't scare yourself. I believe that the general will return safely."
"Yes! You are right, Zhen'er will definitely come back safely." As she spoke, the old lady looked outside anxiously, "It's already this hour, why hasn't Zhen'er come back yet?"
The old lady asked someone to guard the front yard and told her grandson to come to see her immediately when he returned.
"It should be soon!" Jiang Chunxi said, "Madam, you don't have to be so anxious. I believe the general will be back soon."
"Ah!" The old lady sighed again, then looked at Jiang Chunxi's stomach, "Have you felt any discomfort recently? For example, you want to vomit or eat something sour."
Jiang Chunxi's expression became depressed: "My pregnancy is not going well, I have disappointed the old lady."
"It's not that your belly is not doing well, it's that I'm too anxious." The old lady took Jiang Chunxi's hand and patted her hand comfortingly. "How long have you been taking care of Zhen'er? How could you get pregnant so soon? But if Zhen'er leads the troops to the battle this time, I don't know when he will return triumphantly."
"Alas!" The old lady sighed again, "I'm just scared! I'm afraid I won't live long enough to see my great-grandson."
"Old Madam, please don't say that," Jiang Chunxi said quickly, "You will live a long life. Not only will you have a great-grandson, but you will definitely have a great-great-grandson."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi's expression seemed to show that she had made some kind of determination. She then said in a serious tone, "Old Madam, let me accompany the general to the border! The general is training his troops and going to war, so it's naturally not appropriate for him to take me with him, but I can take the servants in the mansion and go to the border by myself!"
"I'm at the border. On the one hand, I can take care of the general's daily life so that the old lady can be more at ease. On the other hand, it's also to get pregnant so that the old lady can have a great-grandson as soon as possible."
"How can this be possible?" The old lady frowned. "It's cold and harsh at the border, and life is hard. How can a delicate woman like you adapt to the border?"
"I don't agree with what the old lady said. How can I be so delicate? I only had a good life after being sold to the general's mansion. Before I was sold to the general's mansion, I had suffered all kinds of hardships," Jiang Chunxi retorted. "Besides, aren't women here women? If women here can adapt to the hard life over there, then I can adapt to it too."
"Madam, please let me go to the border to take care of the general for you! I want you to have a great-grandson as soon as possible. If you don't let me go to the border, how can you have a great-grandson as soon as possible?"
The old lady was finally moved.
"Madam, the general is back." Just then Nanny Sun came in from outside and said:
Jiang Chunxi quickly stood up and stood beside the old lady properly.
After a while, Yue Zhen was seen walking in from outside.
"Grandma, it's already so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Yue Zhen looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "Aunt Jiang, you should go back first!"
He just happened to have something to discuss with his grandmother, so it was naturally inappropriate for Aunt Jiang to sit in on the conversation.
"Yes." Jiang Chunxi bowed respectfully to Yue Zhen and immediately left.
"You came out of the palace so late. I guess His Majesty wants you to lead the troops to the border, right?" The old lady looked at her grandson worriedly. "When I think about you going to the border, my grandmother is so worried..."
The old lady clutched her collar and cried in pain.
"Grandma, this isn't the first time I've led troops to fight at the border. You don't need to worry too much about me," Yue Zhen consoled her. "I promise you that I will come back safely."
"Zhen'er," the old lady grabbed her grandson's hand, "you must keep your word and come back safely. During your absence, I will be vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures, hoping that my grandson will be able to turn danger into safety and return safely and triumphantly."
"Yes, yes," Yue Zhen said firmly, "Even if it's just for grandma, I will definitely let myself return safely."
"Oh, by the way, grandma, there is something I want to discuss with you," Yue Zhen's face quickly became filled with guilt, "Yaozhu has been at the farm for a while, and I think she should know that she is wrong, so I want to bring her back. After all, I am on the expedition this time, and I don't know how long it will take for me to come back."
If possible, Yue Zhen did not want to upset his grandmother at this time, but the emperor only gave him a few days before he led his troops to the border. It was unknown how long he would take to come back.
So Yue Zhen had no choice but to be thick-skinned and ask his grandmother to agree to let Yaozhu return from the farm even though he knew she would be unhappy.
The old lady was naturally unhappy, and she let go of her grandson's hand and wiped her tears: "It's not impossible to let Yaozhu come back from the manor, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Grandma, you say." Yue Zhen did not agree immediately, but wanted to wait for his grandmother to finish speaking before making a decision.
"It's like this," the old lady said, "After you lead the troops to the battle, Grandmother will send Aunt Jiang to the border. On the one hand, there will be someone to take care of your daily life, so Grandmother can be more at ease. On the other hand, for the sake of having children, I hope Aunt Jiang can get pregnant as soon as possible when she goes to the border to take care of you."
Yue Zhen frowned and said, "Grandmother, I'm going to the border to fight. How can I let a concubine go with me?"
"Why not?" The old lady stared at her grandson and said, "Mrs. Jiang doesn't live with you in the military camp. You have your own mansion at the border to rest, so why can't you let Mrs. Jiang go to the border? Could it be that you want Liu Yaozhu to go to the border to take care of you? But the question is, is Liu Yaozhu willing? Can she give birth?"
"In short, if you don't agree to let Aunt Jiang go to the border to take care of you, then don't even think that Grandmother will agree to let Liu Yaozhu come back. She will continue to live in the manor for me. As long as I don't give in, that vicious woman will never be able to return to the general's mansion."
