After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 972 - 966: Military Merits



Inside the military tent, Su Jin sat on a stool drinking tea, while Xingxing helped her make the bed.

The tent was large, but simply furnished.

Even Xingxing had never stayed in such a simple place, let alone Su Jin.

There was nothing available, not even a bath barrel.

A soldier brought hot water and stopped at the door, calling out, "Princess, hot water is here."

Xingxing was opening a bundle, and upon hearing this, quickly went out to carry the water barrel inside.

Su Jin wiped down with hot water; she didn’t bring any women’s clothing, and was still wearing men’s wear.

After changing clothes, a familiar voice came from outside the tent curtain, "Is the Heir’s wife staying here?"

"Just in this tent," replied the soldier.

Su Jin was momentarily stunned.

Wasn’t that the voice of the Heir’s wife of Marquis Jing Country?

Su Jin moved towards the tent curtain, and Qin Hanhan’s voice came again, "Can I come in?"

"Please come in," Su Jin hurriedly replied.

The tent curtain lifted, and Qin Hanhan walked in.

Seeing her, Su Jin was extremely surprised, "Why are you also in the military camp?"

No one had told her about this.

Of course, Marquis Dongxiang was only concerned whether Su Jin was injured.

Knowing she was experiencing pregnancy discomfort, he let her rest in the tent, without telling her anything else.

Qin Hanhan held Su Jin’s hand, looked her over, and said, "You’ve become much thinner."

"The Emperor dispatched people who couldn’t find you, so I petitioned to leave the Capital City to look for you, though I’ve been at the border for quite some time, and you only arrived now," Qin Hanhan said.

This was a military camp, with men everywhere at a glance.

Although she and the maid helped as much as they could, there were many inconveniences.

Now that the Princess Consort Zhenbei also came, she had a companion and felt more at ease.

Qin Hanhan helped Su Jin sit down and said, "Knowing you might have trouble, I planned to go with them to find you, but they didn’t allow me."

"The military camp lacks so many things, so I went to the town to buy some items, knowing you’d come today; I just returned recently."

While speaking, Qin Hanhan instructed the maid, "Xueling, quickly ask people to bring everything in."

The maid Xueling answered.

After a while, the items were carried inside.

Yes.

Before bringing them in, some were carried out.

The simple bed was taken out, replaced with a large bed, along with a dressing table, desk, screen, bath barrel, and even an empty ancient shelf.

With the items set up, the tent appeared more presentable.

Su Jin looked at Qin Hanhan and said, "This is too well-equipped."

Qin Hanhan looked at the setup tent with satisfaction and smiled, "Ever since entering the military camp, I hadn’t gone out, was embarrassed to talk to the Great General about this matter for fear of causing trouble, but with your help today, I could buy everything I wanted."

"I bought two of each item."

As she spoke, voices from the maids outside could be heard, "Put it down gently, carefully."

Su Jin looked outside, seeing soldiers gently placing a large water tank down.

Su Jin was stunned.

Even bought a water tank?

Qin Hanhan said the water tank was a must, even though the military camp had a kitchen and didn’t lack hot water.

But where they lived was far from the kitchen.

She felt embarrassed asking soldiers to run back and forth, considering the military camp forbids women, and she already broke the rule.

With a water tank, they could boil the water themselves.

Knowing Su Jin was experiencing pregnancy discomfort, Qin Hanhan encouraged Su Jin to lie down and rest.

Su Jin was very tired but also very hungry.

Fortunately, food was soon sent over: four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, along with two bowls of rice.

Su Jin’s pregnancy made her picky with food, and those four dishes lacked any appealing quality.

Understanding the camp’s conditions, Su Jin chose to come prepared to endure hardships, but being pregnant had already affected her appetite, worsened by the pregnancy discomfort.

She ate half a bowl of rice and couldn’t eat anymore.

Qin Hanhan looked at her and said, "Is eating just this little enough?"

Su Jin said, "I’ll eat some more after I nap."

Seeing fatigue between her brows, Qin Hanhan said, "Then rest for now, and after you wake, I’ll come for you; our tents are quite close."

After Qin Hanhan left, Su Jin removed her clothes and lay down.

She finally got to the military camp, learned of Xie Jingchen’s whereabouts, relaxed, and became more tired.

This sleep was deep and long.

Eventually, Xingxing woke her up.

Although Su Jin was experiencing pregnancy discomfort, she wasn’t required to bed-rest completely.

Since the border began fighting, Su Jin had achieved numerous military accomplishments, each astonishing.

Aside from those, just purchasing wool from Beimo to help soldiers resist the winter cold is a major achievement.

And those telescopes, which were astonishing.

Su Jin arrived at the military camp, and whether for a welcome banquet or an accomplishments banquet, one ought to be held.

Marquis Dongxiang wouldn’t organize, but other Generals would disagree.

Thus, two banquets in one.

Qin Hanhan sent two sets of gowns she hadn’t worn before, and Su Jin put them on.

Entering the main tent, aside from Marquis Dongxiang, Old Prince, and the Prince remaining seated, everyone else stood to greet her.

Su Jin felt somewhat embarrassed; she nearly became a captive today.

In fact, she was indeed a captive, albeit for just two hours.

Su Jin smiled at them, greeted Old Prince and others, and then took her seat.

She sat at the same table as Qin Hanhan.

Military banquets differed from those in the Capital City.

Aside from her and the maids, there were no other women.

But drinking for entertainment was consistent.

One might perform a sword dance or show off martial arts.

In the Capital, they compared talents; at the border, they compared strength.

After three rounds of drinks, a General, slightly drunk, bravely requested a reward from Su Jin, "That telescope is a good thing, Princess, could you reward me with one?"

Once someone asked, others echoed.

Good things were desired by all.

When the telescope arrived at the border, Xie Jingchen had just suffered an incident, feeling sorrowful.

Su Jin sending the telescope eased some of the sorrow.

Initially, only two were sent.

Marquis Dongxiang had one, and Old Prince had another.

Others certainly didn’t have any.

Let alone having one, if they didn’t have great military merit, they wouldn’t even get a chance to see one.

Su Chong eagerly wanted one, tossed and turned at night unable to sleep, sneaking into the tent of Marquis Dongxiang to steal one and appreciate it with Prince NanAn.

However, he was almost mistaken for an assassin by Marquis Dongxiang due to darkness.

After being beaten up, Su Chong snatched it and ran away, spending the night studying it with Chu Shun and others, puzzled how it could see so far.

Next morning, the telescope was taken back by Marquis Dongxiang, and Su Chong and Chu Shun were punished to guard the city gate.

After several days, Su Jin had another batch sent over, totaling five.

One to the Prince, one to Marquis Jibei, and one shared by Su Chong and others.

The remaining was given to the city guards, whoever was responsible for guarding used it.

During that time, Generals vied for city guard duty; anyone who had used the telescope knew it was valuable, itching to have one.

Marquis Dongxiang looked at Su Jin and said, "Where did these telescopes come from?"

"I had them made," Su Jin replied.

"...."

Xingxing proudly said, "The first batch had three; Miss sent one to the Emperor and two to the Marquis."

In Miss’s heart, the Marquis weighs the heaviest.

But even so, Marquis Dongxiang was dissatisfied, "Such a good item, wasn’t it wasteful giving one to the Emperor?"

Su Jin, "...."

General, "...."

Although the comment is disrespectful, sure to anger the Emperor, it’s quite true.

The Emperor uses it to view scenery, nowhere near as practical for observing the enemy.

Su Jin’s mouth twitched.

Speaking of the Ninth Prince, if each had one, they might accuse her of squandering.

Xingxing dared not speak further.

Marquis Dongxiang then smiled and said, "Everyone sit down. Don’t tease my daughter for being thin-skinned. It’s hard for her, being younger, to favor some over others. How about trading military merit for them, fair and just."

A Great General said boldly, "Then give us a clear answer, how many heads for one telescope?"

"No need for high demands, just two hundred," Marquis Dongxiang smiled.

"...."

The General downed a cup of wine and said, "When we return to the battlefield, keep away from me so you won’t hinder my gathering of military merit!"
