Before Huo Jiao could finish her words, Su Qingyu immediately patted her cheek three times with her hand.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
"General Shen has rich combat experience, and your martial arts are also strong. The war will definitely be a success! You will also return safely and triumphantly!"
"I'm in the capital, waiting for you to come back and have a drink together!"
Huo Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard about drinking: "It's a deal!"
She put her arms around Su Qingyu's shoulders: "I heard that there are many fine wines in Jiangnan. How about waiting for me to come back and let's go and see the beautiful scenery and fine wines in Jiangnan?"
Su Qingyu's thoughts suddenly drifted away because of this sentence.
If she successfully uncovers the mysterious harpist from Prince Qi's residence and completes her mission, maybe she can go to Jiangnan in advance to wait for Huo Jiao, who knows...
"Qingyu! What are you doing? I've called you several times."
"Let me tell you, if you don't get some snacks, my seventh brother will be snatched away!"
Huo Jiao held Su Qingyu's hand a little harder, and gestured for her to follow her eyes.
Only then did Su Qingyu realize that Lu Yuncheng was standing with Qi Wang An, Wang Shangshu and Jiang Shangshu, talking to General Shen.
Jiang Lanyin, who was standing next to Jiang Shangshu, always looked at Lu Yuncheng with his watery eyes from time to time.
Shy and persistent.
The younger daughter is probably in love with Jiang Lanyin for the first time, right?
However, recalling the few times she and Jiang Lanyin met, Su Qingyu felt that Jiang Lanyin, a well-educated, gentle, kind and talented woman, must not bother to do such an act of stealing a husband. ...
"Still in a daze!"
Huo Jiao glared at Su Qingyu for several times: "I said you usually seem to be quite smart, but now people are planning on your husband, don't you notice at all?"
Su Qingyu calmly looked away and murmured: "What can be taken away should not belong to me."
"what are you saying?"
Su Qingyu said seriously: "I say, Doctor Xuanyuan is a bit old. Don't let the general give him too heavy tasks."
Huo Jiaohun waved her hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry! I won't send it to the old man unless it's a difficult or complicated disease! This is okay!"
After the sacrifice was completed, the rituals performed for the army were also done.
Shen Tuo got on his horse, his eyes as firm as sharp arrows.
As he shouted "get ready to go", all the soldiers got on their horses in unison.
Huo Jiao, who had been smiling playfully just now, suddenly looked serious.
She gently shook Su Qingyu's hand. Although she didn't speak, both of them understood that everything was unspoken.
The white cloak drew a beautiful arc in the air as Huo Jiao mounted her horse.
Looking at Huo Jiao who was as proud as the blazing sun on horseback, Su Qingyu suddenly understood at this moment that Huo Jiao was indeed not suitable for the small space in the backyard.
What she should go to is a vast and boundless place, where she can pursue her ideals and do everything she wants to do.
She believed that in the near future, she would be like Huo Jiao today.
Stay free and confident in your original intentions.
Watching the army disappear from sight little by little, and before the dust flying in the air settled, the officials who came to see them off began to walk into the city.
Su Qingyu turned around to go back when she saw Lu Yuncheng walking towards her.
Half a step behind him was Jiang Lanyin, who had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament.
The two of them talked from time to time, Lu Yuncheng's eyebrows were gentle, and Jiang Lanyin smiled from time to time.
Looking from a distance, it seems that the man and the woman are a perfect match.
Compared to her, the two people who were getting closer seemed more like a couple.
And she was the one who could be driven away at any time, just an outsider.
Just like old man Xuanyuan.
"Princess Ling, it will be the Lantern Festival in a few days. I wonder if Princess Ling can show her face and watch the lanterns together?"
Because of Jiang Lan's gentle and beautiful voice, even she, a woman, could not refuse such a sincere invitation.
"Since it is Miss Jiang who invites you, I am more than happy to do so."
After Su Qingyu gave Jiang Lanyin an answer, she turned to look at Lu Yuncheng, looking at him with a half-smile.
"I wonder if the prince would like to go with you that day?"
Lu Yuncheng pursed his lips and was about to answer when he heard Jiang Lanyin jokingly say:
"Just now, I asked Prince Ling the same question. His Highness Prince Ling said, if you go, he will go."
"I have always heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ling and Princess Ling's love is unusual. Today's meeting is indeed the case. It makes others envious."
It turned out that the two of them had a lively chat just now because they were enjoying the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
But she heard that viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival is a festival that has been passed down for the purpose of conveying friendship between lovers.
"Qingyu, I will send you back first."
Su Qingyu shook her head: "If you have something to do, just go and do it. I'll have the bright moon to see you off."
"If His Highness Prince Ling can trust me, I am willing to personally escort the princess back to the palace."
Lu Yuncheng looked at Su Qingyu and then at Jiang Lanyin.
"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Jiang."
Lu Yuncheng strode away, as if there was something urgent waiting to be dealt with.
Su Qingyu glanced behind her, and Mingyue nodded slightly towards her master.
Su Qingyu didn't expect to ride in the same carriage as Jiang Lanyin today.
But since she had this opportunity today, she could just take the opportunity to ask something that she had been curious about a long time ago.
"Did Princess Ling and His Highness Prince Ling know each other before they got married?"
But she didn't expect that before she could speak, Jiang Lanyin would start the topic first.
"Miss Jiang should have heard that before I married into Prince Ling's Mansion, I was kept in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion and never left."
"Of course, I have never met His Highness Prince Ling."
When saying this, Su Qingyu looked into Jiang Lanyin's eyes very seriously.
Seeing her eyes trembling slightly, she was inevitably surprised.
"I didn't expect that the princess and His Highness, who have only known each other for a few months, could make the prince swear not to take concubines for the sake of the princess. His Royal Highness Prince Ling is really sincere towards the princess."
Probably because as a boudoir woman, it was too rude to say such words, Jiang Lanyin looked at Su Qingyu with slightly apologetic eyes.
"With such a wonderful person as the princess, if I were His Highness Prince Ling, I would definitely be happy."
Su Qingyu smiled lightly.
"Miss Jiang, please stop being modest."
"You are such a talented, well-educated woman, and your appearance is one of the best in the world. As long as you are willing, I believe that the threshold of the Shangshu Mansion should be trampled by Xi Po who proposes marriage."
Su Qingyu took advantage of the situation and said, "However, I have always envied Miss Jiang."
Jiang Lanyin asked in confusion: "What are you envious of?"
"I envy you for being so good, I envy you for not being stuck in the backyard, and I envy you for having a family who is willing to support all your decisions."
Jiang Lanyin smiled shyly.
"Thanks to my family for condoning my nonsense. Otherwise, if an old girl like me stayed at home, I would be laughed at by others."
Su Qingyu couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
Seeing Jiang Lanyin looking at her awkwardly, she coughed to cover up her inappropriate behavior as a princess.
"What are you laughing at? A joke that you are not trapped in the backyard and have too much freedom? Or a joke that you have become better and better because Jiang Shangshu personally taught you?"
Su Qingyu said the same thing twice.
She just hoped that Jiang Lanyin would understand what she meant and not do anything she would regret.
This behavior has nothing to do with anything else, just because she hopes that Jiang Lanyin can be different from other women, not restricted, and can always live the way she wants.
As an outsider, she couldn't say too much after all.
"But do you know, Princess? In fact, I have never resisted getting married."
"I just haven't met anyone as good as him."
