Jun Zechen's stay in the frontier this time exceeded his original expectations.

In his previous life, he returned to the capital after repelling the barbarians, but in this life, he was ready to completely solve the problem of the barbarian invasion.

The monarchy deploys a huge number of troops outside the Great Wall every year. If the barbarians can be successfully dealt with, most of the soldiers who have been resisting the enemy outside the Great Wall can return to the court, and the soldiers can go back in turn every year thereafter.

In order to deal with these problems, Jun Zechen often went to the border between the Jun Kingdom and the barbarian territory for inspection.

That's why I would run into Ling Yue from time to time.

However, Ling Yue did deliberately avoid him as he requested, staying quite far away from him, yet still within his visible range.

Jun Zechen usually turns a blind eye.

In his previous life, Jun Zechen had guessed that Ling Yue had ulterior motives in approaching him.

When he was young, he yearned for all pure things, but later on, he was able to understand that he himself was the biggest inducement to other people's desires.

Because he represents the highest power of the monarchy.

Ling Yue approached him because of his identity and disguised herself, just for the sake of power.

After Jun Zechen figured it out, he felt nothing in his heart because he didn't care.

No one is without desires.

His liking for Ling Yue when he was young was only due to her simplicity and unrestrainedness. When she lost her only advantage, Jun Zechen not only stopped liking her, but even his guilt disappeared.

Yaoyao also disguised herself in the beginning to get him to open up, but it seemed very different.

The more he understood her, the more he depended on her. His joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were all controlled by her, and even Jun Zechen himself could not control it.

(Complaint: Brother Chen is fine. Some people in the God's Perspective were also deceived by Yaoyao and shed tears. You are not the only one.)

Recently, Jun Zechen has been able to see Ling Yue from time to time, which makes him more certain of his previous guess.

Ling Yue really approached him with a purpose.

Perhaps it is true that he yearns for the freedom outside the Great Wall, but it is also true that he is obsessed with the hustle and bustle and power of the capital.

Ling Yue clearly noticed that the prince had noticed her, but every time he ignored her completely as if he didn't see her.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Is the prince really as averse to women as the rumors say?

Today was her fifth time trying to meet the prince by chance, but the prince's heart was as hard as a rock and he remained unmoved.

Ling Yue was filled with helplessness. He raised the whip in his hand, swung it vigorously, and rode away on his horse.

When she returned home, General Ling happened to be there.

Because the prince came to the outside of the Great Wall to deploy troops, it became much easier to attack the barbarians. In the short term, the barbarians may not dare to invade again.

"Where did you go?"

General Ling asked in a deep voice when he saw his daughter returning.

"Out riding."

Ling Yue answered in a muffled voice, with a hint of stubbornness in his expression.

General Ling frowned.

"I know you've been asking about the prince recently, but the prince is not someone you can reach."

He is the illegitimate son of the Ling family, and Xiao Yue grew up outside the Great Wall, in places like the imperial palace. Even if Xiao Yue wanted to be the prince's concubine, His Majesty and the Queen might not agree.

"Dad, I just want to give it a try. If I don't try hard, how can I know I can't get it?"

Ling Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

"The prince should have set off for the capital long ago, but he has been studying the terrain outside the Great Wall in order to prevent the next invasion by the barbarians."

General Ling admired the prince from the bottom of his heart. He was a master of strategy, foresight and resourceful.

"The prince is now focusing on military affairs and has not paid attention to his children's personal affairs. All you are doing is in vain."

"In three months at the latest, the prince will return to the capital."

Ling Yue was surprised for a moment. He was going back to the capital, so she would never have another chance...

"I know that you have occasionally met the prince in the past few months. Since there is no result, you should give up and find an honest man outside the Great Wall to marry and have children."

General Ling had a serious expression on his face, his eyes full of concern.

After a pause, he slowly said, "Although your father is of low status in the capital, he is also a general in the frontier, and will not let you live a hard life after marriage."

General Ling sighed deeply and earnestly, feeling mixed emotions.

Knowing that his daughter was trying to marry into a wealthy and powerful family, he was not without a ripple in his heart.

He was born a bastard, and it would be difficult for him to cross the social class barrier in his life, let alone give his daughter the wealth and glory she longed for.

If his daughter could win the prince's favor on her own merits, or even marry into the royal family, General Ling would naturally be happy to see it.

However, he had seen all of his daughter's efforts over the past few months, but the prince remained indifferent, so there was no need to continue.

The prince's noble status is definitely not something they can reach.

If you cause the prince to be disgusted, it will be more harm than good.

Ling Yue slowly lowered her head, "Okay..."

She just didn't want to accept it. She was bullied a lot in the Ling family when she was a child. She always wanted to make those members of the Ling family who looked down on her regret it.

But as a woman, she had limited abilities and could only find ways to get close to a powerful man.

But now, the prince was extremely indifferent to her, and she could even clearly feel the disgust in his eyes.

She didn't attract him at all...

Capital city.

Before we knew it, nearly two years had passed since Jun Zechen went to the frontier, and Su Jingyao is now thirteen years old.

Over the past year or so, I have managed the relationship with the young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital quite well.

Chu Yinxue was the one who was most attached to her, and she would always be with her at every banquet.
