In fact, when I found no trace of Murong Qingfeng in the cottage, I breathed a big sigh of relief, but I still had a hanging heart. Now that I saw him safe and sound in front of me, my eyes suddenly became moist. After a night of hard work, I finally found a breakthrough.
, completely forgetting to wipe away tears in front of so many subordinates.
Murong Qingfeng got off his horse, walked to the bridge, and asked in surprise: "Why is the princess here?"
I didn't say anything and continued to wipe my tears. Ruan Qing snorted and said angrily: "It's not because of you, the Crown Prince. As soon as I heard that the Crown Prince had brought hundreds of people into the mountain to suppress bandits, the princess chased after her as soon as she threw away her chopsticks.
I waited in the cold wind for most of the night, and then I went up the mountain to search for the prince's whereabouts, but I couldn't find him. I worked all night in vain."
Murong Qingfeng was startled, and then hurriedly explained: "I did come here once before. Maybe this group of bandits knew that they had robbed the officials and they had already taken precautions. We were ambushed as soon as we arrived at the foot of the mountain, and there were heavy casualties. I
He fled to the outskirts of Beijing with the remaining people and asked his cousin for support. My cousin went to the palace overnight to meet the emperor. After getting the emperor's permission, he came back with the people from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing."
Behind him, a man in full armor jumped off his horse, cupped his fists at me and said, "General Shen Nanfeng, I have met Your Highness the Princess."
I looked at his facial features and looked familiar, as if I had met him at Princess Yuehua's Peach Blossom Poetry Party. It seemed that he came with his sister Shen Wanyao at that time. I sniffed, stopped my tears, and hugged my fists.
Etiquette: "General Shen Shen does not need to be polite."
While he was talking, the Zhenbei Army came down from the mountain one after another. Although they looked a little tired, they were still disciplined and orderly. Shen Nanfeng looked at them carefully and praised them: "He is indeed our most elite soldier in Yuechen. He has been here all night."
In a short time, Xiao Huangshan was completely wiped out."
No wonder the vigilance of these bandits was so low. When they just entered, they saw wine jars all over the floor in the courtyard, and they didn't even have time to put away the leftovers. They must have killed the people led by Murong Qingfeng before.
Individuals were on their backs, everyone's morale was high, they were having a feast, and they were all drunk. Only then did we take advantage of the situation, and we wiped them all out without any effort.
In modern times, it is common to stay up late and go to bed at three or four in the morning. Sometimes we stay up all night watching movies on weekends. However, since ancient times, we have followed the local customs and adapted to the routine of getting up early and going to bed early.
I was frightened and exhausted now. I yawned and said tiredly: "Since the prince is fine, Jinyue will take the people back."
Murong Qingfeng nodded, I took the reins and got on the horse. As soon as I took a step forward, I heard him say from behind: "Thank you so much, Princess."
.
After returning home, she didn't eat anything. She only drank a bowl of ginseng soup brought by Qiu Ju and poured it into the bed tent. She fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was already time to turn on the lamp. After washing up, Rong Qing went to bed.
After passing the meal, I was really hungry, so I had a delicious meal. However, I usually don’t stay up late, but occasionally I felt so uncomfortable all over after a night of such tossing. After finishing the dinner, I was too lazy to move, so I just
He leaned against the bedpost and listened to Aunt Rong's words.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Beijinghou came to the princess's mansion once and said that she wanted to thank me personally for saving my life. However, I was so sleepy that I didn't open my eyes even after Rong Qing called her several times. Mrs. Beijinghou did.
He didn't say much, he just left the gifts he brought and returned home with his maid and grandma.
The gift only had a brocade box, and Aunt Rong did not put it into storage. She moved it directly to my room. I took it and opened it. It was a palm-sized hand mirror. The material of the mirror was actually glass, although it did not have the mirror in the previous life.
So translucent and clear, but compared to the common bronze mirrors now, it is countless grades higher. I heard that it was a tribute from the overseas Persian country. There were only five mirrors in total. The emperor gave two mirrors to the queen and divided the others.
Of the three favored concubines, the queen kept one side for herself and gave the other side to her biological sister, Mrs. Beijinghou. Now it is in my hands again.
Everyone has a love for beauty, regardless of age. Mrs. Beijinghou was willing to give it away to someone as precious as a glass mirror. It was not in vain that I risked my life to go to Xiaohuang Mountain, but the emperor was unwilling to do so.
I went to stir up the affairs of the Zhenbei Army again, and then I was brought back to the capital and imprisoned in the princess's palace. Now I am leading the Zhenbei Army in a mighty manner to eradicate the imperial court that has not been able to eradicate it.
The small barren mountain has been leveled. On the surface, I must praise him, but secretly he is very itchy.
.
As I expected, the next morning, the emperor's chief steward, Eunuch Fu, came to the princess's mansion with an imperial edict and said that the princess of Jinyue County was smart, brave, unparalleled, and so flattering.
Then he gave me a bunch of rewards, and then tactfully hinted that I should follow him into the palace to express his gratitude.
I smiled understandingly, went back to my room, changed into orthodox clothes, and went into the palace with him.
When I arrived, the emperor had not yet gone to court. I waited boredly in the imperial study for more than half an hour before I saw the emperor walk in grandly surrounded by everyone.
"Jinyue has met the emperor, long live the emperor." I quickly stood up and saluted. He took a few steps forward, pulled me up kindly, and said with a smile: "Jinyue really impressed me, and I am becoming more and more like my father."
The wind is blowing."
If I were really as capable as my father, you would definitely get rid of him quickly. I lowered my head in fear and said calmly: "Jinyue acted so boldly, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Excuse me? What are you guilty of? I have asked Eunuch Fu to issue an imperial edict of praise. This was also proposed by the ministers in the morning. Could it be that I and the ministers are confused?" The emperor pretended to be serious.
, looked me around, then smiled suddenly and asked: "Is Jinyue 17 years old this year?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly had an ominous premonition. My face remained calm, and I replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, to be precise, I will turn seventeen next month, and Jinyue's birthday is relatively late."
"Oh, a girl is only fifteen years old, and you are not too young at this age." The emperor nodded clearly, with a look of charity and kindness on his face. He smiled and said: "Is there someone you like? If so,
You might as well say it and I will grant you a marriage."
This is so false, I naturally don’t believe it. If I fall in love with a certain prince, he will definitely not agree. With the strong backing of the Zhenbei Army, as long as this prince is not too useless, he will also seek to usurp the throne in the future.
It is a trivial matter. As the emperor, he will naturally not allow such a thing to happen. As for Murong Qingfeng, although Beijinghou is also very powerful, he is not a member of the royal family after all. It is not a big problem. The key is that Murong Qingfeng has already
His heart belongs to someone. If he is forcibly snatched away by imperial edict, the outcome is probably destined to be tragic. I would rather let time melt his heart little by little than block the way out directly.
I thought about it and said with a smile: "Not yet. If we do in the future, I will definitely ask the emperor to grant us a marriage."
After hearing the words, the emperor pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "Well, I will wait, but don't let me wait too long. My queen has been nagging me all day long to find a good place for you.
