Chapter 523 Enjoying a Feast While Watching General Shen

"General Shen had just returned from the army when he received a secret letter from the Emperor, ordering him to go and rescue people."

Unexpectedly, General Shen actually managed to rescue Princess Minghua.

Princess Ning, you don't know that General Shen is only 19 years old. A 19-year-old fourth-rank official is a very good position no matter where you are.

Unfortunately, their family was too chaotic; most families would never dare to marry their daughter into such a household.

Anyway, my parents said I can't go into the Shen family's house.

After Li Ying finished speaking, she sighed, her face full of regret.

Ning Bao raised an eyebrow. The 19-year-old General Weiyuan was indeed quite impressive.

Wang Xiaoyan suddenly looked at Ning Bao and Li Ying with a sly expression.

"Princess, Xiaoying, General Chen is returning to the capital tomorrow. Shall we go out and see him?"

Li Ying nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"Alright, alright, let's go together, Princess. I'll have my maid reserve a table at the restaurant with a view facing the street."

We'll watch General Shen's performance while we enjoy a grand feast.

Looking at the two enthusiastic girls in front of her, Ningbao couldn't help but nod.

Okay, let's go together tomorrow.

By the way, my name is Zhou Wanning.

From now on, you can just call me Wan Ning; it'll feel more friendly that way. Or maybe I should call you Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan? Is that alright?

"sure."

"That's absolutely amazing."

You two, a girl and a man, seemed to have hit it off immediately and chatted very enthusiastically. On the way back home, Ningbao was a little quiet.

Leng Wu looked at her master with concern.

"Master, why do you look unhappy?"

Are you feeling unwell? Should we call Master Sikang to take a look at you?

Ning Bao shook her head.

"No need, I'm fine."

I just miss home. I made some new friends today, but I also miss my old friends.

I wonder what Sister Lai Di and Sister Jia Yu are doing?

I wonder where my master and uncles are now? Are they in danger?

I wonder if Grandpa and Grandma are eating well? I hope they take good care of themselves and worry about me less each day.

At this moment, Ningbao was thinking about other people, and other people were also thinking about her.

.....................

Inside the Jade Linglong shopping mall in Pingchuan County, Mu Laidi and Lin Jiayu sat facing each other.

Lin Jiayu sat there sighing, her little face resting on her hand.

"Sigh! I wonder how Ningbao is doing?"

Without Ningbao around, I always feel like something's missing. Even our Chuyun Village feels much quieter.

Mu Laidi echoed,

"Yes, it's definitely much quieter without Ningbao."

My grandma is very strict with Chengrong now; she practically wants to go with him to the academy.

This was so that Chengrong could study hard and strive to go to the capital to take the imperial examination as soon as possible.

My grandma said she definitely wants to go with Chengrong when he goes to Beijing. I think she just misses Ningbao.

Sigh! I wonder when I'll be able to see Ningbao again?

Although writing letters is convenient now, it always feels like something's missing when you can't see the person in person...

In Chuyun Village, Mu Dasheng was tending to the fruit trees in the orchard behind the mountain when Li Guizhi saw the newly purchased saplings next to him and couldn't help but start nagging.

"This orchard is already full of trees, why did you buy so many saplings?"

I don't know why you've been so busy lately, always so busy, I wonder what you're so busy with?

Mu Dasheng's eyes widened.

"What are you busy with?"

All I wanted was to be busy so I could think about Ningbao less.
