After being out for so long this time, he has been worried about Zhang Baihu and Bai Ruxue. As of now, except for some scattered teams around, these two main forces are the only ones left in the entire Donglin Kingdom.
troops, I heard that girl Xiang Hongyu say that Changqing City was besieged by Liang Jun not long ago, and the city was almost out of food. Fortunately, Mu Ying sent a batch of food and grass there in time, which alleviated the crisis in the city.
However, in order to snatch food and grass, Zhang Baihu led his troops out in full force and had a direct conflict with Liang Jun, resulting in heavy casualties. After Shao Yan heard the news, he could no longer hold back and wished he could fly over immediately.
Meet Zhang Baihu
Seeing him dazed there, Zheng Yuegui called out softly: "Brother Shao, are you okay?"
Shao Yan calmed down and said calmly: "No, it's okay, I just feel a little homesick."
"Oh" Zheng Yuegui also felt the same way. Although she had not been away from the palace for a long time, she still missed her relatives in the palace. She had only one purpose of joining the army this time, and that was to find Shao Yan. Now that she finally saw him, she felt very sad in her heart.
She was happy, but when she thought about getting married to the golden man in a few days, her mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
Seeing her face full of depression, Shao Yan could understand her complicated mood and said with relief: "Yuegui, you still want to be more open-minded about some things. This life of a person is not long or short.
Instead of being depressed about trivial things all day long, it’s better to live happily.”
Zheng Yuegui raised her reddish face, with tears looming in her eyes. She looked at Shao Yan lovingly, and said after a long time: "Brother Shao, I will get married to Jin Dingguo at the end of this month. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see you again.
You have to take care of yourself”
After Shao Yan heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, especially when he saw Zheng Yuegui's helpless expression. He didn't know how to speak for a while, other than nodding.
Zheng Yuegui looked at him with clear eyes and asked affectionately: "Brother Shao, are we still friends?"
Shao Yan nodded cheerfully. Zheng Yuegui then took off the earring from her ear, handed it to him, and said, "Keep this earring on you." At this point, she suddenly remembered something and her face turned slightly red.
, and quickly added: "Oh, please don't misunderstand, Yue Gui has no other meaning. Yue Gui was born in the palace since she was a child. It is rare to have a close friend like you, so this earring is regarded as our friendship."
"How can our friendship be replaced by an earring?" After saying that, Shao Yan took the earring, then leaned over her ear and put it on again for her. This move really shocked Zheng Yuegui.
, but saw that her pretty face was suddenly filled with red clouds, and the circles under her eyes were wet, like pear blossoms with rain, making people want to kiss them.
Shao Yan took her little hand and said affectionately: "Yuegui, I think you may have misunderstood me. I asked you to be more open-minded, not to accept everything. Do you know that? In our hometown
, freedom of love, freedom of marriage, women have the right to choose their own love, instead of blindly letting others decide their happiness like now."
"Is it possible? Is it really possible?"
"Yes, of course," Shao Yan said generously: "Men and women are born equal. Men can have three wives and four concubines. Why can't women choose their own happiness? I think this broken rule can be changed, otherwise
If so, I don’t know how many women in the world have been ruined because of this, it’s not fair.”
"Brother Shao's words moved Yuegui very much, and opened the eyes of all women in the world. It would be great if everyone in the world had such clear ideas as you." Zheng Yuegui's face gradually dimmed, and she sighed: "It's a pity.
In their view, women are inherently inferior. Compared with those hard-working women who live in romance, Yuegui is relatively lucky. At least she has a brother who loves me. What’s more important is that she still lets me know her in this life.
When she said this, her face was obviously much redder than before.
Shao Yan chuckled and said: "Yes, so don't be too pessimistic. Even if your royal brother doesn't understand you, don't you still have me? I will always stand silently behind you. As long as you dare to try, happiness will come."
I will always be by your side. Just say it when you need it, and I, Shaoyan, will stand up for you at any time. "Oh, why does this sound a bit ambiguous?
Seeing how advanced his thinking was, Zheng Yuegui couldn't help but think, Brother Shao is funny in conversation, but he doesn't sound like a Donglin person. Could it be that he is really a god sent by God to help me? The more she thought about it, the more interesting it became, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
…
Time passed quickly, and most of the morning had passed before I knew it. The two of them were sitting on their knees, chatting happily, while Xiang Hongyu was leaning against the tree boredly. The inner conflict and jealousy made
She peeled off the bark of several big trees in succession. Whenever she heard their laughter, her heart always felt sour, and the expression on her face was extremely melancholy.
At this time, Zhang Huaide came quietly behind her. He had already seen this girl's affection for Shao Yan, so he stepped forward to chat with her and said, "Princess, do you want me to go down and invite Master Shi to come over?"
Xiang Hongyu calmed down, raised his head, and said disdainfully: "He is now accompanied by a stunning beauty, so he won't listen to you."
Zhang Huaide chuckled and said: "Master Shi and the princess are close friends. We met by chance. Naturally, we have a lot to say. What I mean is that the princess is impatient to wait, so I can go and hurry them up."
"
"No need." Xiang Hongyu glanced at Shao Yan in the distance and said casually: "It's rare for the princess sister to come here, so let them have a good time together and let's not disturb them."
"Yes, I obey my orders." Zhang Huaide left respectfully. Every time Xiang Hongyu threw a piece of bark, he would stomp on it a few times, complaining in his heart, "Death Shaoyan, bad Shaoyan, if you have a beautiful woman, you won't care about me."
Bad guy, I will trample you to death, trample you to death...
After a brief exchange of greetings with Zheng Yuegui, Shao Yan stood up and came to the horse. However, Xiang Hongyu looked unhappy. However, Zheng Yuegui was present, so she could only force out a smile, and then sat on the horse.
They were about to part ways. She originally thought that Shao Yan would take the initiative to say something like "treasure", but she didn't know that the guy didn't even look at her. This made her very angry, so she glared at Shao Yan and said, "Hey, the guy named Shao
"This princess has helped you so much, you must show it."
Shao Yan was stunned for a moment. Although the girl's words surprised him, but thinking about it carefully, the girl was right. She had really paid a lot to help him during this period. It would be a bit awkward if she just slapped her butt and left.
He couldn't explain it, so he smiled lightly and said: "Then tell me, how do you want me to express it?"
"I -" Xiang Hongyu almost wanted to say, 'I want you to marry me', but with Zheng Yuegui nearby, she had to swallow this rude request, but she only said that out of anger just now. As for what
She didn't think about it carefully at all.
Seeing that this girl didn't say a word for a long time, Shao Yan couldn't help but worry, oh my god, is this girl asking me to marry her again? This kind of joke can't be made again. I finally regained my confidence in Yue Gui, you must not
"If you can't tell me, or you haven't thought about it well, then just don't say it. We have a long time to come, so let's save this expense for next time."
"Who wants your 'expense'?" Xiang Hongyu is the princess of the princess. She would be curious about any rare treasures she has never seen before. She said angrily: "Do you think money can buy everything?
?”
"Then what do you want?" Shao Yan rolled his eyes, but he saw that girl staring at him intently. Her eyes were very infatuated, with a "I won't marry you unless you" aura. Damn, it turns out that this girl
You really want me to be his guest. Shao Yan suddenly lost his temper and said quickly: "Except for the request you made before, we can discuss the rest."
"What you think is beautiful, I will let you fulfill your promise." Xiang Hongyu said calmly: "If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, you will never ask me to help you next time."
you"
If you don't want to help, then you won't help. Shao Yan is disgusted in his heart and can only put on a big smile on the surface, "Princess Princess, otherwise, I will think about the request you made before when I go back this time.
I’ll contact you by phone later, oh, no, I should contact you by letter, what do you think?”
Xiang Hongyu frowned slightly, snorted and said: "I know that you, a bad guy, can play tricks, that's all, just pretend that I have never met you before, go away, and don't let me see you again in the future.
you"
Zheng Yuegui couldn't guess the 'riddle' between them, so she immediately pulled Xiang Hongyu's sleeve and advised her not to be angry. Unexpectedly, Xiang Hongyu was angry and would not listen to anyone's dissuasion.
Shao Yan secretly sighed, this girl is really passionate and unrestrained when she is good, but once she loses her temper, she becomes violent and endless. Due to time constraints, he was too lazy to argue with this girl, so he said goodbye to Zheng Yuegui, and then
He turned around and left with Zhang Huaide and others.
After a long time, the anger on Xiang Hongyu's face gradually dissipated. Zheng Yuegui sat behind her and said with a slight smile: "Princess, are you still angry with Brother Shao?"
Xiang Hongyu turned around disapprovingly: "No way. I am a princess with a noble status. How can I get angry with a little general? If it spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Zheng Yuegui smiled sweetly: "You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I am a few years older than you. You can't hide your thoughts from me. I think you are probably in love with Brother Shao."
Xiang Hongyu's cheeks turned red, and she was about to deny it when Zheng Yuegui followed, "Hongyu, can I call you that?"
"Um"
Zheng Yuegui breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "We are both members of the royal family. You are much better than me. At least your father will not interfere with your marriage, but I am like a bird in a cage.
I can’t fly even if I want to.”
"Now I finally understand that once a person loses his freedom, it is actually a very terrible thing. Just like when I was with Brother Shao just now, I always felt that time was so short, and I longed for time to be in that moment.
Stop, but..." Zheng Yuegui shook her head with a sigh, and said softly: "Hongyu, Brother Shao is right, it is guiltless to like someone. You should take advantage of the fact that you are still free. If you have anything to say, please tell me.
Tell him early and don’t let yourself regret it in the future.”
Xiang Hongyu's heart pounded and she thought to herself, the princess sister is right. I have committed a heinous crime by letting Shao Yan go this time. If I am not sent back to the country in the future, I will be imprisoned by my father. If I don't take good care of it,
With this opportunity, I am afraid that I will never see Brother Shao again in the future. However, the princess obviously likes Brother Shao. How could she... If I do this, what will my sister Mu Ying think?..., No, no way.
, I can’t do this, I’d better let Brother Shao hate me more and let him completely forget about my little sister.
"Hongyu, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed." Zheng Yuegui couldn't help but be surprised as he didn't hear her voice for a long time.
"Oh, I was just thinking, princess sister likes Shao... that big bad guy so much, why don't you fight for yourself?"
Zheng Yuegui smiled helplessly: "Why don't I want to? But if I do this, more people will be hurt. I don't want to be an unhappy person, let alone a sinner."
As she said, the government of Nanliang Kingdom has always been controlled by the treacherous minister Wang Boyan, and the mediocre Zheng Kai is just a puppet. This marriage is caused by his weakness. If the marriage fails, he, the emperor, will
The throne may not be preserved at any time, and even the entire clan may face annihilation.
Xiang Hongyu was shocked: "Is it that serious? I don't believe that Wang Boyan can cover the sky with his hands."
"This is indeed the case. It is inconvenient for me to explain to you the stakes involved. In short, it is difficult to explain in one sentence."
"Hey, that only shows that your imperial brother is too incompetent. A majestic emperor doesn't even have this right. He is really cowardly to the extreme. He -" Xiang Hongyu was halfway through, and then realized that he was too outspoken.
He said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, sister princess, I -"
Zheng Yuegui shook her head: "Sister, there is no need to be nervous. Brother Huang is timid by nature. There is nothing we can do about it."
Xiang Hongyu smiled heartily and said: "Look at us, why are we talking about important matters of the court? Those are men's business. We don't care what they do. Sister, you don't have to worry. Fatty Jin has nothing to do with you."
They are not a good match, but your brother Shao, you two are a perfect match. I think brother Shao will definitely not leave you alone."
Hearing what Xiang Hongyu said, Zheng Yuegui was very satisfied. She suddenly realized and pursed her lips and said happily: "You girl, I was talking about your business, why did I come back again while talking?"
"What? Don't you like it, sister?" Xiang Hongyu said mischievously: "But from the look of my sister, I am afraid that I have already made a private decision with Brother Shao for life, haha..."
Zheng Yuegui was so ashamed, "You girl would actually make fun of me."
Xiang Hongyu chuckled. Seeing Zheng Yuegui's face turning red, she stopped talking. Then she waved her whip and shouted: "Princess, sit still..., drive——"
With a roar, the war horse suddenly started to have wind on all four hooves, carrying the two girls and ran straight forward. Zheng Yuegui pressed her face tightly against Xiang Hongyu's back, with a sweet smile on her lips...
