Meng Zhuqing smiled bitterly: "Yes, I won't agree. Being a soldier is very hard, and you have to go to the battlefield when fighting. How could I agree?"

Tuoba Yao didn't say anything, but hugged his waist tightly and buried his face in his arms.

Meng Zhuqing wrapped her with one hand and gently stroked her long hair with the other. After a while, he said again: "Don't do this in the future."

"Um."

...

That night, An Jing specially asked Meng Zhuqing and Tuoba Yao to have supper with them.

At the dinner table, when she saw Meng Zhuqing picking dishes for Tuoba Yao from time to time and whispering to Tuoba Yao from time to time, Tuoba Yao also answered. Even Tuoba Yao would pick dishes for Meng Zhuqing occasionally. The way they got along was obviously no different from before. Then, An Jing knew that there was nothing wrong with Meng Zhuqing and Tuoba Yao, so she felt relieved.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past three days, neither An Jing nor Ye Zhi recruited female soldiers again.

On that day, An Jing did not recruit female soldiers. When it was almost dark, she returned to Prince Yi's mansion with Xiao Changyi. Before they could reach the main courtyard, they saw four maids in the palace standing at the gate of the main courtyard holding pianos, chess, picking up paintings, and listening to books.

As soon as the four maids saw them, they quickly came up and then knelt in front of them together: "Prince, Princess, I have something to ask for, so please, Princess, the princess, please forgive me."

Xiao Changyi had no expression on his face.

An Jing was intrigued: "Oh? Let's talk, what's the matter?"

The maids in the mansion are all innocent and well-known. She has lived in the royal palace for so long, but the maids have never asked her for anything. But today, there are still four of them. She is really curious.

Among the four maids, Yu Baoqin said, "I heard that the princess is responsible for the women's military affairs. I also want to join the army. I hope the prince and the princess will fulfill it."

"I hope the prince, the princess will fulfill his promise." Lieqi, picking up the paintings, and listening to the book immediately agreed.

Baoqin said again: "I know that my servants are humble, but I really want to join the army to serve in the West."

An Jing thought that the maids in the royal palace could have some skills in punching and kicking, and the maids had innocent lives, so they were sold to others as maids.

Although she doesn't get along with these maids often, the maids in the mansion have been carefully selected. If they have bad character, they can't stay in the royal palace for so long.

Thinking of this, An Jing was delighted and quickly looked at Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi understood and nodded slightly.

Then An Jing asked the four maids: "Why are you doing well? I remembered to join the army and serve the country?"

Lieqi whispered loudly: "The palace is full of upright and bloody people. After being influenced by the eyes, the servants are full of passion. Now it happened that women can join the army, so I came to ask the prince and the princess for help."

After pausing, Lieqi said again: "I know that my servants' request is too much. I am the maids of the royal palace and should do my duty well, rather than make extravagant requests. But I still want to come and ask the prince and the princess."

After pausing again, Lieqi said more loudly: "The princess once said that if you don't try to do something, you will never be able to do it. If you try to do it, even if you don't succeed, you will try your best and not regret it. I am trying now. Even if the prince and the princess fail to do it, all of them will have no regrets."
