After exchanging pleasantries in the guest room, the meal was quickly prepared.

The General of the Northern Garrison looked at Su Muyao and grew more and more fond of her: "Yaoyao, do you have someone you like?"

Su Muyao looked at the lewd expression on the face of the General of the North and finally shook her head.

"I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry."

The General of the Northern Garrison nodded repeatedly: "Although he is still young, we can start looking at each other first."

My wife's family's son is quite handsome; why don't you two chat?

No sooner had he finished speaking than the General of the North saw his second and third sons arrive with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Everyone stood up to pay their respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, but Su Muyao remained motionless.

Long Yuan then sat down next to Su Muyao: "What are you saying, General Zhenbei?"

"Yaoyao and I are childhood sweethearts. Even if we were to be considered for a marriage, it wouldn't be up to your cousin, General."

Although Long Yuan didn't hear very clearly who the General Who Guards the North was referring to.

But it can only be their cousins, after all, their three sons are all so old, and the youngest son is already married.

The General of the Northern Garrison finally realized that the Crown Prince's two seemingly nonsensical statements were actually quite obvious.

In reality, he meant that Su Muyao and he were childhood sweethearts, and even if they were to be in a relationship, it would have to be him, not someone else. Tsk tsk tsk.

The old lady chuckled and said, "Try this pine flower mandarin fish. It's the best dish our cook makes. Everyone should try it."

"Mmm, this tastes really good."

Su Muyao nodded in agreement.

"Eat as much as you like. I'll have the cook write down the recipe and send it to your residence later."

The general's wife was truly grateful to the young princess, especially after hearing from her eldest son that the injuries were so severe that she was unlikely to survive.

Fortunately, the young princess had a miraculous medicine; otherwise, her family would probably be holding a funeral right now.

After the meal, the General of the North led Su Muyao and Long Yuan into his study.

He then took a box of gold ingots from his private treasury and handed it to Su Muyao.

"You little greedy devil, is this enough to pay for my medical treatment?"

Su Muyao smiled, her eyes crinkling. A whole small box of gold ingots, hehe, do you know how many there are?

"That's enough, thank you, General Zhenbei."

After chatting in the study, Su Muyao went back first.

The main reason is that this General Zhenbei keeps calling Yao Yao.

If I stayed any longer, I would feel embarrassed to take this small box of gold ingots back with me.

The General of Zhenbei watched as Su Muyao happily left with a small box of gold ingots before turning to look at Long Yuan.

"You like Yao Yao!"

The General of the North asked Long Yuan directly and with certainty.

"yes"

"But I can see clearly that Yao Yao is a rebellious and capable young girl."

"It would be your great fortune to marry Yao Yao, but you are a prince. What will you do with the harem in the future?"

The reason why the General of the North said such a thing was because he discovered it when he was chatting with Su Muyao.

This young girl is unruly and somewhat competitive; she would never be able to share a job with another man.

Long Yuan simply nodded: "I know all of this, and I have also told my father that I will not take any concubines in the future, only Yao Yao."

The General of the Northern Garrison shook his head as he looked at Long Yuan's resolute gaze.

"That's what we say now, but in the future you'll definitely have a lot of things beyond your control, unless you don't compete for that high position. But among the princes, only you are worthy of such a high position."

Enough, enough, it's too early to say all this now.

If you marry Yao Yao and treat her badly, Ben will be the first to object.

From now on, the General's Mansion will be Yao Yao's support. If you betray her, don't blame me for turning against you without mercy.

The General Who Guards the North has always remained neutral, indifferent to the intrigues and schemes among these princes and crown princes.

Previously, he felt that it was not so important to him which prince became the crown prince or the emperor in the future.

After all, no matter who becomes the crown prince, there are only loyal ministers of his generation.

No one would target him, especially since he has always been stationed in the North.

Unless someone is incredibly stupid.

The words spoken by the General Who Guards the North now imply that he is on the side of the Crown Prince.

Long Yuan naturally understood and nodded in agreement with the General of the North's meaning.

I had already thought it through two days ago when I was choosing my concubine.

If he were to end up with three wives and four concubines against his will, it would be more comfortable to give up the throne and wander the world with Yao Yao.

He had mentioned this matter to his mother, both openly and secretly. Although his mother didn't say anything, his expression showed that she was satisfied with his actions.

When Su Muyao returned home, she found Huanbao and Master Wu practicing martial arts in the courtyard!

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the two of them stopped what they were doing.

"Little sister, I'm participating in a martial arts tournament tomorrow. You absolutely must come and watch!"

Su Muyao then remembered that the martial arts competition held every three years at Linglongtai in the capital was taking place.

And it's tomorrow.

I heard that the top ten masters will be selected, and even the emperor will attend the ceremony.

But then I thought about it again and realized that something was wrong. Huanbao has only been practicing martial arts for a little over three years.

"Huanbao, if I remember correctly, you've only been practicing martial arts for about three years now."

Besides, you're still young; you can wait another three years!

Su Muyao didn't disbelieve her brother, but she felt that her brother had only been learning for a little over three years, and he definitely couldn't compare to those who had been practicing since childhood.

I heard that the top five will be rewarded, and the first place winner will be directly named the Martial Arts Champion.

In terms of rewards and the title of martial arts champion, no one will hold back.

When Huanbao heard her younger sister's words, she naturally knew that her worries were just that she still wanted to try.

For the past three years, I have been studying and practicing martial arts at the same time.

But he prefers martial arts to studying. He doesn't have his older brother's talent for studying, but he loves martial arts very much.

Although he is now a scholar, he clearly recognizes that he is still far inferior to his older brother.

My greatest admiration is for those great generals. I often fantasize about becoming a great general in the future and guarding a region.

"Little sister, I just want to try, win or lose, I just want to see how far I am from others in my three years of martial arts training?"

Moreover, if I am no match for them, I will naturally surrender.

Hehe, don't worry.

Su Muyao naturally knew her second brother's personality. He was always a sly one, so how could he let her suffer a loss?

Hearing his words put her mind at ease.

In order not to disturb Xibao's continued martial arts practice, he turned around and went to check on his two medicine shops, since he hadn't been there to take a look in so long.

I'm such a terrible boss.

I had just arrived at the shop when I met someone I really didn't want to see.

As soon as Er Ya saw that it was Su Muyao, she quickly walked over.

"Yaoyao, I want to come and buy some pills."

"Well, since you're here to buy pills, then ask the manager over there. I'm just here for a quick look and I'll be leaving soon."

Er Ya didn't react for a moment when she heard this. She thought the little princess would say to take whatever you like.

Especially since Liu Yu was with him.

Based on what Liu Yu had learned from his previous investigation, it was highly likely that Er Ya was indeed the young princess's older sister.

So he began to treat her politely.
