The next day, it was his turn to be on duty.
Seeing Jiao Jiao coming out of the house, Yang Heguang approached him diligently: "Good morning, princess..."
Before he finished speaking, he was pushed by Jiao Jiao and staggered. After he stood up, he saw that the general who wielded a big tree as a spear wielder on the battlefield actually squatted down and carefully picked up a peach from where he had just landed. Petals, gently placed in the palm of your hand.
Yang Heguang felt very disillusioned. Is this still the bold and mighty Generalissimo who used one as ten?
Jiao Jiao didn't notice his disillusionment at all. She looked at the water tank in the corner of the courtyard and then at the ground, with a frown on her face, looking very embarrassed: "Wouldn't it be bad if it drifted with the water or crushed into mud?"
Yang Heguang was so shocked that he almost blurted out: "What kind of monster are you, what did you do to our marshal?"
Jiao Jiao turned her head and gave him a sidelong glance: "If you don't wake up, jump into the pond to wake up."
This look and tone definitely belong to the third princess.
Looking at the few peach blossoms placed on the window sill, feeling the spring breeze blowing on his face and making the petals fall, Yang Heguang suddenly thought of Pei Zheng's meaningful look yesterday.
In the next two days, Yang Heguang and the guards on duty were miserable. They were very cautious when patrolling, walking on thin ice for fear of accidentally stepping on falling petals.
What’s even more disillusioning is watching their majestic general transform into a sentimental little girl who is sad for spring and autumn, picking up flower petals all over the courtyard.
Yang Heguang really wanted to give his yesterday self a big mouth and give him any flowers!
The colleagues who were on duty together knew that the flowers were sent by him, and they resented him deeply and gave him a beating in private.
After that, Yang Heguang had a shadow on Hua and vowed never to let Hua appear in front of his marshal.
Time has entered July, Bai Di Kingdom has been divided into five counties, and the governance teams in each region have been gradually improved. They only need to wait for the last county governor to take office before they can return to Beijing.
On this day, it was Yang Heguang's turn to be on duty again.
Jiao Jiao went out to buy specialties and planned to bring them back to Beijing to give to Ji Yun. Not long after he left, he saw several little maids sitting in a pavilion by the roadside, rubbing purple flowers.
Yang Heguang jumped up, rushed forward, and snatched the flower from the maid's hand.
The little maids were all frightened and hurriedly knelt down to salute, hurriedly expressing that they were not lazy and that their work was done.
His bright eyebrows twitched, and he cursed, "Yang Heguang, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"
"not me……"
"A grown man like you is robbing impatiens. What's the matter, do you want to dye your nails too?"
As she spoke, she motioned for the little maids to stand up, and added: "Purple color highlights your temperament, skin color, and clothes. If you don't do it right, you will be ugly."
You can try the pink impatiens, which are tender and beautiful, or the red ones, which are gorgeous and show off your complexion. "
Yang Heguang was confused. Didn't the three princesses love the flowers? How could they watch them destroy them?
——
The tenth day of July is a good time to get married, break ground, and travel.
Jiao Jiao returned to the court with his army, and was warmly welcomed by the people along the way. It took him one month and arrived in Shangjing on August 12th.
Walking through the woods on the outskirts of Beijing, she saw a large crowd of people in the Jieguanting Pavilion in the distance. When she got closer and saw the leader clearly, she felt very disappointed.
After meeting with the welcoming officials and going through the process, she went straight to the palace amidst the thunderous shouts of "Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose" from the people, and finally saw the person she wanted to see at the palace gate.
Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a handsome figure, he stood in front of the palace gate. The sun shone on him, and his whole body seemed to melt into the light.
"Second brother!" She jumped off the horse and ran forward quickly.
Ji Yun looked at the figure that was flying towards him. He was in a daze for a moment. He thought of the way she walked around the verandah holding a long red lacquered carved box in the Zhujian Villa. She gradually reunited...
Jiao Jiao cheered and rushed over to hug his neck, rubbing his neck affectionately: "It's been more than a year, I miss you so much!"
It was originally a word of joy and excitement, but for some reason, the ending was unconsciously trembling.
For a moment, without hearing his answer, Jiao Jiao was a little confused. She raised her head and saw Ji Yun's eyelids drooping slightly, looking at her wordlessly. His eyes were like stars, with the sunlight shining in and glowing with amber luster.
His eyes were blurred and sad, seeming to be looking at her, but also seemed to be looking through her at something more distant.
The gaze was so gentle and affectionate, it was like hair being pulled from the tip of the heart, bringing with it a strange slight itch.
Hearing her call, Ji Yun blinked and seemed to have come back to his senses. He raised his arms to wrap his arms around her like a child and whispered, "Welcome home."
The voice was soft and low, as if he had awakened from the past.
Jiao Jiao felt a warm current pass through his heart. Suddenly, the flames of war and fighting, the blood and ferocity all disappeared as if in a dream, leaving only this cool embrace that was stable and real.
"Cough cough cough..."
The sound of Pei Zheng coughing almost out of breath came from behind, and then she remembered that this was in front of the palace gate, and she still had some procedures to go through.
He hurriedly withdrew from Ji Yun's arms, stood in front of the generals, and knelt down with them to worship the new king.
Ji Yun met with the senior generals in the Imperial Study Room, and said that they would meet at court tomorrow to discuss their merits and reward them. Then he sent all the generals back, leaving only Jiaojiao and Pei Zheng behind.
After they left, Pei Zheng still couldn't help complaining: "I know you are brothers and sisters, so I don't have to hug each other passionately in front of the palace. We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it feels like we have been apart for half a lifetime.
The third princess is now the generalissimo! You have to pay attention to your image. Tsk, tsk, you didn't see the expressions of those generals, their eyes were as wide as bells, as if they had seen a ghost.
Having seen her acting coquettishly, how could they associate her with the majestic marshal on the battlefield in the future? "
Jiao Jiao rolled his eyes: "I am a marshal and a woman. I kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield. Does it conflict with me being coquettish in front of my family?"
Pei Zheng: "There is no conflict, but the comparison is very disappointing."
"That's because they are narrow-minded. I can't treat myself as a man just for their feelings, right?"
"Uh..." Pei Zheng was speechless.
"I know the prejudices of the world. They believe that only men can be officials and ministers, and women should live dependent on men. In your subconscious, I, an alien, should also have the characteristics of a man.
But I am indeed a woman. I fulfill my duties as a marshal and enjoy being a woman, so don't treat me as a man. "
Pei Zheng was stunned: "This argument is quite novel."
"It's indeed a prejudice." Ji Yun thought of Yunhuang Island. Because he was a descendant of monks, there was no such big difference between men and women there. If a woman had the ability, she could also take charge of the affairs.
Seeing that they had something to talk about, Jiao Jiao said: "You guys are busy first. I will go back to Changxin Palace to pay my respects to Concubine Luo. Second brother, will you come after you are done?"
Ji Yun laughed: "Of course."
