Chapter 1159 [The Wrong Couple 20]
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, about half a year had passed. During this time, Zhaoyang, with his intelligence and unremitting efforts, successfully took full control of the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.
Due to the long stay in the capital, Aolong Fort also needs Shi Wuji to go back to take charge. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhaoyang decided to arrange Yan Yueyue and Su Huan'er to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue respectively, so as to better manage these two important departments. At the same time, she also specifically asked her third brother Zijun to take good care of them.
After everything was arranged, Zhaoyang and Shi Wuji set out on the journey back to Aolongbao. However, the emperor was very reluctant to see Zhaoyang go, and he earnestly hoped that Zhaoyang could return to the capital at least once a month to relieve his homesickness. Shi Wuji understood the emperor's feelings and immediately said that he would take Zhaoyang back to the capital with him.
After several days of trekking, Zhao Yang finally arrived at Ao Long Fort. As soon as he arrived at the fort, the wet nurse came up to him warmly and solemnly handed over the seal of the eldest lady and the account book of Ao Long Fort to Zhao Yang.
Faced with the trust and entrustment of the wet nurse, Zhao Yang said gratefully: "Wet nurse, I have just arrived and am not familiar with everything here. I will need your care in the future. Wet nurse, you know everything about Aolong Fort and are experienced. This is my maid Zixuan, who takes care of my daily life. So, I want Zixuan to learn with you, and when she is familiar with it, she can manage these affairs with you."
"You are a princess, and now you are the eldest lady of Aolong Castle. These should belong to you, but no one has taken care of them until now, so I took over and handled them for you." The wet nurse explained seriously.
Zhaoyang smiled slightly and said softly, "Nurse, you are too kind. This is not the imperial palace. You can call me Madam or Zhaoyang. You are the nurse of my husband and his family. You are my elder by nature."
The nurse was embarrassed when she heard this, and seemed a little at a loss. She stammered, "But, Princess, this..."
"Still calling me princess?" Zhaoyang asked angrily.
The nurse quickly changed her words: "Madam."
"Yes, that's right." Zhao Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "If you are free, can you take me around Aolong Castle?"
The nurse thought for a moment and replied, "Madam, this is my daughter Xiaoqing. Please let Xiaoqing accompany you."
Zhaoyang looked at Xiaoqing and saw that she was well-behaved and clever. He couldn't help but like her a little, so he said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Miss Xiaoqing."
Xiaoqing bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness, it's no trouble. Where would you like to go first? Xiaoqing will take you there right away."
"Xiaoqing, you can just call me Zhaoyang or Madam, just like a wet nurse. There's no need to stick to those red tapes. This is not the imperial palace, there aren't so many rules to follow." Zhaoyang said softly.
Xiaoqing nodded obediently after hearing this and said, "Okay, Madam."
"I'm not very familiar with this place, Xiaoqing, just take me around." Zhaoyang said with a smile.
"Okay, madam, then Xiaoqing will take you to the military training ground. It's very lively there!" Xiaoqing suggested enthusiastically.
So Xiaoqing led Zhaoyang and others to the training ground. As soon as they arrived at the training ground, they saw a group of soldiers practicing archery. The scene was spectacular. Zhaoyang couldn't help but feel excited, and her hands began to itch. She turned to Ziyuan beside her and said, "Ziyuan, get my arrows."
"Yes, Princess." Ziyuan responded quickly, and then like a magic trick, she produced a bow and arrow from nowhere and handed it to Zhaoyang.
This scene astonished Xiaoqing. She was secretly surprised that this maid had such magical powers. Not only could she conjure up a bow and arrow anytime and anywhere, but she also didn't see where she hid the bow and arrow just now. It was really strange.
Zhaoyang jumped lightly onto the platform, holding a bow and arrow. After she stood still, she picked up three arrows at random, and then pulled the bowstring seemingly casually. With three sounds of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", the three arrows flew out like meteors and hit the bull's eye in the distance.
"Good!" Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers cheered loudly and applauded.
Xiao Qing hurriedly explained: "This is the eldest lady of our Aolong Fort, and also Princess Zhaoyang!"
Hearing this, the soldiers knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "This general greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Zhao Yang smiled and responded, "Everyone, please stand up. Thank you for your hard work. However, I just observed your training and found that you are only practicing some basic content. I am afraid that the intensity of this training is not enough."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "How about this, I have decided to send Lin Yi to guide your training. I believe that under his leadership, your strength will definitely improve significantly."
However, the soldiers looked embarrassed and said one after another: "Your Highness, this is probably not appropriate..."
Seeing this, Zhao Yang quickly explained: "Your strength has reached a bottleneck stage, and Lin Yi has unique training methods and experience that can help you break through this bottleneck."
After hearing this, the soldiers hesitated for a moment, and finally responded in unison: "Okay, thank you, Princess!"
As night fell, Shi Wuji returned to the mansion. When he saw Zhaoyang, he smiled and asked, "I heard that your wife went to the military training ground today and sent a coach for them?"
Zhao Yang nodded and replied, "Yes, I think their training intensity is too low, so I want to help them work harder. And I am also a member of Aolong Fort, how can your men be worse than mine?"
After hearing this, Shi Wuji felt warm in his heart and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, my lady."
