"I thought that if Lord Li could pacify Nanzhao, he would surely return in triumph. Please think again, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"
Qin Yushuang looked at them and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew that these old foxes had finally listened to her advice, and it was not in vain that she had wasted so many words. This time, she finally stabilized them.
She nodded and said.
"Since all my dear friends have said so, then do as I wish."
"I obey the order," everyone replied in unison.
"And what Aiqing said just now is correct. After all, it is Li Aiqing's first time to lead troops in a war, and there may indeed be some problems in some aspects."
There was a sneer at the corner of Qin Yushuang's mouth.
"Let's let the princess and Li Aiqing go on the expedition together!"
Everyone looked at each other and were stunned on the spot.
This, this is a battlefield where life and death are at stake. His Majesty actually asked a princess to travel with a civil servant who had never been on the battlefield. This move left all the ministers confused.
…
The night is getting darker.
Li Yang stood by the window sill, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that Qin Yushuang summoned him, but it was not because of the news he had come back from.
Your Majesty just asked about the internal situation of Nanzhao Kingdom. She had no idea about the wolfish ambitions of those people.
Their goal was not only to pacify Nanzhao, but to annex the entire Nanzhao kingdom.
This battle is destined not to be easy.
"Boom!"
There was a knock on the door, and then a soldier walked in and knelt on one knee in front of Li Yang.
"The general will pay homage to Mr. Li."
"Get back on your feet, what's the matter?" Li Yang looked at the soldier, his brows furrowed.
"Master Li, the princess outside is asking to see you." The soldier bowed and said.
"Princess?"
Hearing this, Li Yang was stunned. After being assigned a position today, he left directly to order troops.
He didn't hear about Qin Yushuang's arrangements behind him, and he didn't know that there was a princess here until now.
No one except himself knew the secret that Qin Yushuang was a daughter. As for this princess who had never appeared before, he had not seen it and did not know what her temperament was.
"Master Li, do you want to see me?"
"See you!" Li Yang replied without hesitation.
He stepped out and as soon as he stepped out of the door, a gust of fragrant wind blew in his face.
"See you, Your Highness, Princess." Li Yang saluted with clasped fists.
The girl in front of her was wearing a white gauze skirt, with snow-white skin and stunning beauty. Her black and shiny hair was simply combed up, revealing a plump and fair forehead.
She was dressed in an aqua blue robe with a light green ribbon tied around her waist. She was fresh and refined, as delicate and lovely as a hibiscus emerging from water.
However, she looked at Li Yang with alienation.
"Master Li, no courtesy."
"Thank you princess."
Li Yang stood up straight, his eyes falling on her, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Shouldn't she stay in the palace with her royal brother? Why did you suddenly come to find yourself?
He thought in his heart and couldn't help but frown.
Qin Yuerou looked at Li Yang and pursed her thin pink lips: "This is my first time meeting Mr. Li. Qin Yuerou is very polite."
Li Yang calmed down his thoughts and returned the gift: "I have met Her Royal Highness."
"Master Li, you're welcome."
The two of them were speechless, standing quietly, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
After a long time, Li Yang couldn't bear it anymore and asked first, "The princess is here late at night. What advice can you give me?"
Qin Yuerou lowered her eyelashes, her eyelids covering the emotions in her eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Li, you misunderstood. Yuerou just wanted to come and see you in her spare time and give me something."
"Oh? The princess is so polite, Li is really scared."
Li Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his eyes full of scrutiny, but he was also secretly wary.
Qin Yuerou slightly curled her lips, turned around, picked up a wooden box from the maid's tray and handed it to Li Yang.
"Master Li, my father heard that Master Li was injured by a thief a few days ago. He ordered me to prepare the decoction for Master Li to replenish his body. I hope Master Li can recover as soon as possible."
Qin Yuerou's voice was soft and her eyes were bent like moon buds, bright and bright.
When Li Yang heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
This emperor was too stingy. He worked so hard to fight, and he didn't even mention the rewards. He only gave himself a bottle of decoction.
Li Yang cursed in his heart, but respectfully reached out and took it: "Thank you for your generous gift, Li."
"Um."
"Then, Mr. Li, Yuerou will take your leave. We can meet at the city gate tomorrow."
Qin Yuerou finished speaking with a smile, turned around and left with lotus steps.
"Eh? Wait, see you tomorrow?"
Hearing Qin Yuerou's words, Li Yang hurriedly called her.
Qin Yuerou stopped and looked back at him, blinking her bright eyes with an innocent and confused expression.
"Yes, doesn't Master Li know that I am traveling here with you?"
When Li Yang heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.
He really didn't expect that Qin Yushuang would send the princess to accompany him!
Seeing Li Yang stunned, Qin Yuerou asked again: "Master Li, don't you welcome me?"
Li Yang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, it's just...just..."
He just didn't expect that Qin Yushuang would send his sister to follow him.
If this spreads out, wouldn't it mean that he, Li Yang, covets her as a princess?
"Just what? Does Mr. Li not like Yue Rou?"
Li Yang shook his head violently: "No, no, absolutely not." He immediately explained: "Li is just afraid of wronging the princess."
"What's the grievance? You won't suffer any loss."
Li Yang: "..."
There seems to be something strange about this sentence, but I can't put it into words.
"Okay, Mr. Li, don't worry. Yuerou promises to stay in the military camp and never cause trouble." Qin Yuerou said with a smile.
Li Yang opened his mouth and finally nodded: "Okay."
"Then Mr. Li, I will take my leave first." Qin Yuerou said, turning around and walking out of the mansion.
Li Yang looked at Qin Yuerou's leaving figure, with a complex look in his eyes.
After Qin Yuerou left the General's Mansion, she took a carriage to the Nanling Prince's Mansion. Along the way, she lowered her head and leaned on the soft cushions, closing her eyes and meditating.
The carriage was moving forward slowly, then suddenly stopped, and the guards outside shouted loudly.
"Princess, we're here."
Qin Yuerou opened her eyes, slowly opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and walked inside.
"The slave joins the princess. The princess is a thousand years old."
When the gatekeeper of Mianlong Palace saw Qin Yuerou coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Pingshen." Qin Yuerou waved her hand.
"Princess, please come in." The young man said and led Qin Yuerou into the Sleeping Dragon Palace.
Qin Yuerou followed the boy for a while, and finally arrived outside a courtyard.
"Princess, this is your majesty's study." The servant stood up and spoke respectfully.
