"General Jia, the princess invites you."

When Jia Lian came out of the meeting hall, two maids from Princess Zhaoyang came to summon him.

Jia Lian nodded and followed her to Princess Zhaoyang's palace.

The interior of Ganning Pass is no better than the towns in the Central Plains. Both the roads and the surrounding buildings appear primitive, desolate and vast.

Throughout the pass, groups of soldiers patrolled at all times, showing the strict military discipline here.

Only being close to Princess Zhaoyang's palace does one feel a bit more peaceful about life.

It is said to be a palace, but in terms of solemnity and majesty, it is completely incomparable with the Tianjia Villa in Gyeonggi. It is just a huge official residence, which has been re-decorated both inside and outside to make it look more luxurious.

Walking to Princess Zhaoyang's bedroom, the four young and beautiful maids standing at the palace gate immediately bowed down. Two of them knelt at Jia Lian's feet.

Jia Lian was born in a public family, so he would not be unable to understand the etiquette here.

When the palace maid on the left carefully stretched out her hands, she didn't mean to embarrass herself and let her lift her feet, take off her official boots and put on a cloth shoe.

Then the palace maid on the right is the same.

The other two palace maids opened the door curtain at the right time, revealing the scene inside.

Although it is still the place where Princess Zhaoyang lived when she first visited Ganning Pass, the layout inside is completely new.

A lot of new furnishings have been added, and the decoration is brighter. At first glance, the floor is paved with silk, and the room is filled with fragrance. It looks very luxurious.

It can be seen that the living quality of Princess Zhaoyang has improved to a higher level compared to the last time.

Just like the etiquette of taking off boots at the door, Jia Lian remembered that the last time he came here, it was not so particular.

But if you think about Jia Lian carefully, it doesn't seem strange.

The last time Princess Zhaoyang just passed by this place, but this time, she will stay here for a long time until the order from above arrives. Moreover, the princess has suffered a lot this time. It is said that the master humiliates the minister and dies. Wu Shiwei and others will naturally

I want to serve with all my heart to make up for it.

As for having such a battle in such a bitter cold place, Jia Lian didn't think there was anything wrong.

Because this battle was not just for Princess Zhaoyang, but for the majesty of the entire Wei Kingdom.

A princess who sacrifices her life for her country naturally represents the glory and majesty of the entire country.

Otherwise, it would not be possible that since Princess Zhaoyang left the capital, in addition to the escorting officers and soldiers, there were nearly a thousand maids, eunuchs, and servants dedicated to taking care of her.

These people stay in the pass, and they are idle when they are idle. They might as well give orders to them, lest they cause trouble in their idleness.

Walking on the bright red carpet into Princess Zhaoyang's palace, a more beautiful maid came to guide her.

In the dormitory, everything was as Jia Lian expected. There were palace maids with fragrant clothes and beautiful figures everywhere.

When Jia Lian passed by them, in addition to saluting Yingying, they would also take the opportunity to steal a glance at Jia Lian. Of course, no one dared to do so openly, otherwise they would be severely punished by the nun.

"Your Majesty Jia Lian, please pay homage to the princess."

Entering the Nuan Pavilion, in front of an exquisite silk translucent screen, the palace maid who led her stood aside, and Jia Lian bowed to a vaguely visible woman above.

Although she is already his woman, she still has to do the hard work on the surface.

"Everyone else, please step aside."

Following Princess Zhaoyang's instructions, the other maids filed out, leaving only the two tall maids on both sides of the couch inside.

The two palace maids were not idle either. After the others retreated, they stepped forward and pulled open the screens in front of Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang from both sides.

Jia Lian did not expect that the screen embroidered with a complete landscape and duck scene was actually made of two screens.

As the middle of the screen opened, Princess Zhaoyang's solemn and beautiful figure, sitting sideways, was revealed in front of Jia Lian.

At this time, Princess Zhaoyang was completely dressed up.

She is wearing a gorgeous palace dress, her hair is raised high, and she has a phoenix crown on her head. Even her jade hands, which are stacked on her knees, have golden fingertips on her ring and little fingers for the first time. She is so solemn.

The dress, coupled with Princess Zhaoyang's tall, slender figure and fair skin, completely reveals the majesty and beauty of a Tianjia princess!

Even Jia Lian, who was already very familiar with Princess Zhaoyang, couldn't help but look bright at this moment and took a second look.

Perhaps when she saw Jia Lian's gaze, Princess Zhaoyang smiled slightly, lightly parted her lips and said, "This palace is able to escape safely thanks to the general who sacrificed his life to protect me. Zhaoyang has not thanked the general yet, so I invite the general to come and talk to me today."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and replied: "It is the duties of a minor official. I dare not act like a princess."

"hehe."

"General, why don't you come forward and talk?"

Princess Zhaoyang chuckled, raised her hand, and motioned for Jia Lian to come up.

Jia Lian frowned slightly and glanced around. The Nuan Pavilion here was not big. Apart from the two of him, there were only two palace maids standing beside them. After a closer look, Jia Lian could see that these two seemed to be the right ones.

It was the maid arranged by Princess Zhaoyang to attend his bath, and she must be her confidant. No wonder she was so casual.

However, Princess Zhaoyang was sitting sideways on the couch at this time, and there was no other stool seat in front of her.

Should he be allowed to come closer and look at her condescendingly while speaking?

still……

Jia Lian also discovered that although there were no seats, the couch in front of Princess Zhaoyang's knees, covered by the palace skirt, could accommodate people.

Jia Lian then came forward and decisively sat down on Princess Zhaoyang's knees.

Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang smiled even more in her eyes, "General, I have rescued you this time and even escorted you thousands of miles away. Such a great kindness, Zhaoyang will remember it in my heart."

I wanted to repay the general, but the general is already in a high position and has no shortage of official titles, wealth, and honor. Although I am a princess, I am afraid that I can't offer anything that can attract the general's attention.

However, I heard that this time the general left the capital with only a servant, so I am afraid that he will not be able to properly arrange and take care of the general's daily life.

It just so happens that I have a lot of servants here, how about I send the general as a gift?"

Speaking, Princess Zhaoyang waved her hand casually.

Immediately, one of the palace maids standing next to her walked forward gracefully under the envious eyes of the other person.

"General, let's see, maybe this person can catch the general's eye?" Princess Zhaoyang asked with a smile.

Jia Lian frowned and turned to look at Princess Zhaoyang.

As his woman, you actually take the initiative to give him women?

Seeing Princess Zhaoyang looking at him calmly, Jia Lian couldn't guess what she was thinking. However, he knew that Princess Zhaoyang was not Wang Xifeng, but a person who acted generously and with a gentleman's style.

This move is definitely not just to test him.

So Jia Lian turned around and glanced at the woman in front of him.

With her rosy face, sweeping brows, and tall, slender figure, she is indeed a rare beauty. Among the hundreds of maids serving Princess Zhaoyang, her beauty is also among the best.

But after Jia Lian looked at it twice, he still shook his head and said: "Thank you very much for the princess's kindness. However, this time I not only shoulder the duties of an envoy, but also command the officers and soldiers. It is really inconvenient to carry the beauty next to me. I can only accept the princess's thoughts with my heart."

Already."

Princess Zhaoyang said: "With the general's status and merits, it is only natural that there are people around to take care of me. What's more, I gave this beauty to the general. I don't expect others to say anything...

That's all, I know the general is a strict self-discipline, so I won't force him.

In this case, I will keep it for you first, and after returning to the capital, the general will take him back to the palace, so the general will have nothing to say."

Princess Zhaoyang seemed to want to give advice, but after seeing the displeasure on Jia Lian's face, she smiled like this.

Seeing Princess Zhaoyang's insistence, Jia Lian didn't want to argue with her, and just said: "Then thank you princess for the gift."

Anyway, the two mansions cover a vast area, so there is no need to worry about not being able to accommodate a maid.

Princess Zhaoyang felt funny in her heart when she saw Jia Lian's unhappy look.

You must know that each of the maids in the palace is carefully selected and sent to the palace to serve the nobles.

Although not all of them are as beautiful as flowers, at least none of them are ugly or have obvious physical flaws.

Therefore, other courtiers would regard it as a great honor and gift if they could be rewarded by nobles in the palace with a maid. But like Jia Lian, it was as if she forced Jia Lian to get it.

But she had already known that Jia Lian was not a womanizer.

On the day when Jia Lian was drunk, she specially asked her two most trusted and beautiful women to help each other take a bath. She wanted to take the opportunity to explore Jia Lian's character.

It would be fine to say that Jia Lian was really drunk and did not know what was going on. However, she already knew that Jia Lian was pretending to be drunk. Therefore, under such circumstances, Jia Lian still had no offense against the beautiful palace maid Qiu who was within easy reach, which shows his character.

After beckoning the woman to leave, Princess Zhaoyang looked at Jia Lian and asked softly: "Speaking of returning to the capital, I vaguely heard that the court seems to be interested in marrying Wala again?"

While speaking, Princess Zhaoyang turned her head and looked at Jia Lian quietly. Obviously, she seemed careless, but in fact she was very concerned.

Jia Lian pondered for a moment, not intending to hide it from him. After nodding, he briefly told Princess Zhaoyang about the negotiations between the two parties and the previous reprimanding of the ministers in the meeting hall.

After hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang was silent for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, I will never let you get married again."

After all, she was his woman. At this time, Jia Lian couldn't help but comfort her.

Princess Zhaoyang laughed: "I feel relieved after Erlang said this. Before, I was worried that Erlang would go along with the situation and kick me out of this trouble."

Although what Princess Zhaoyang said was playful, Jia Lian still looked unhappy and stared at the woman in front of him angrily.

What does it mean to kick her out of trouble?
