The girl's voice seemed to be buried deep in her memory, but as soon as Yun Qing heard it, she immediately remembered it.
This is Li Yunqing's younger sister—Li Yunshu!
Unlike Li Yunqing, Li Yunshu grew up on the border. Due to her family background, she had already mastered martial arts and was now helping her parents lead troops in battle on the border.
The border region doesn't have such outdated views on men and women. In this environment, strength is the most important factor. Li Yunshu was able to reach this position entirely because of her own abilities.
She had heard her parents tell stories about her older sister since she was a child, but she might not be able to see her for several years at a time, so she was always very excited when they met.
Upon hearing that Yun Qing had arrived, they quickly led their people from the city to welcome her.
Upon hearing the noise in the car, Yun Qing's eyes immediately lit up.
[Li Yunshu, she was a renowned female general in history, a true heroine who was no less capable than any man. If it weren't for the treacherous officials who created that horrific battle, she wouldn't have died so young! But now she's my sister!]
Yun Qingping and others deeply admire every female hero recorded in history. In a patriarchal society, they emerged like brilliant stars, setting an example for future generations and deserving to be remembered forever.
"My sister has arrived. Would Your Majesty like to come along and have a look?"
Yunqing asked politely.
Actually, it was probably herself who wanted to go. Xie Rang noticed the change in Yun Qing's expression and her inner thoughts, and nodded almost without much hesitation.
So Yun Qing lifted the curtain and went out, her movements visibly hurried. Xie Rang didn't seem to notice much and followed her out of the car.
Seeing her elder sister emerge, Li Yunshu finally stopped hiding her true feelings. She jumped off her horse and ran to Yun Qing, hugging her tightly. The spirited young woman changed her voice and began to whine, "Brother, I haven't seen you in so long! I've missed you so much!"
Since Li Yunshu became sensible, her parents no longer hid the truth from her and told her in full that Li Yunqing was disguised as a man. They just told her to keep it a secret, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble if it was exposed.
Li Yunshu understood the implications and feared being overheard, so even when they were close, she never used that inappropriate term of address.
Yun Qing found it hard to describe her current feelings. She also had parents in the modern world, but they passed away early, and she hadn't experienced the feeling of family affection for a long time. She couldn't help but cherish this warmth at this moment.
I miss you too.
This sound wasn't just spoken by her, but also by the girl who had already left. She wondered if Li Yunqing would travel to her modern world. If so, that would be wonderful.
Yunqing had no intention of taking over other people's lives and was always grateful for everything. Of course, she also hoped that Li Yunqing would be well.
Because of the difference between men and women, and out of concern for the eyes and ears of those around them, Li Yunshu couldn't hold him for too long. She quickly let go of his hand and stepped back. As she did so, she saw the young boy standing behind Yun Qing and exclaimed, "Brother, who is this...?"
"This is His Majesty the present."
For a moment, Yun Qing almost forgot about the existence of the little tyrant. Li Yunshu was one of the idols she had seen in her history textbooks, so how could she not be excited?
Upon hearing this, Li Yunshu immediately straightened up and gave a look to the people behind her, who then bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, we pay our respects."
Xie Rang wasn't familiar with them and had no intention of showing off in this place. He was most concerned about Li Yunshu, whose tutor had been muttering to him for so long that it was hard not to hear it.
"Stand up."
Xie Rang was quite approachable, and besides, Li Yunshu was the Grand Tutor's younger sister, so he had nothing to be bothered about. After saying this, he walked over and stood next to Yun Qing.
Everyone, including Li Yunshu, looked at the young emperor with curiosity. Of course, Li Yunshu was more curious. She wanted to see what kind of person he was that made her elder sister choose to stay in the capital to continue supporting her even after she almost lost her life.
"Grand Tutor, let's get in the carriage and continue our journey. We can talk again once we reach the city."
Unexpectedly, the young emperor behaved almost obediently in front of Yun Qing. Li Yun Shu frowned, looking as if she had seen a ghost. When she turned around and saw that the people behind her had similar expressions, she knew that everyone probably had similar thoughts.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Okay, then let's speed things up a bit. It's not good to get stuck halfway."
[This little tyrant doesn't care about his image at all; Yun Shu and the others' romanticized view of him has probably shattered completely.]
Li Yunshu was quick-witted. Although she was startled at first, she was now quite clever. In any case, all she cared about was her elder sister: "Your Majesty is right. We have already prepared a welcome banquet in the city. Tonight should be very lively!"
The situation on the border is relatively peaceful at the moment. Recently, the new type of gunpowder has been put into use in training, and the results are very gratifying. My parents thought of celebrating together, and everyone was happy.
I wonder if my elder sister has mentioned it to His Majesty.
Li Yunshu thought she would ask later.
After agreeing to leave, Yun Qing and Xie Rang got back into the carriage. This time, the atmosphere was noticeably more lively. With Li Yun Shu leading the way, the carriage sped up, and the clattering sound seemed to carry a sense of joy.
"This place is much better than I imagined."
Throughout history, writers have always described the desert as a place of hardship, but a closer look reveals a different kind of scenery. Thousands of years later, these places will become tourist destinations, and people will strive to maintain them; the changes that have taken place are simply unimaginable.
“It would be better if the Rouran were gone.” Xie Rang looked at the scenery outside the carriage. The setting sun and the lone wild goose were desolate and magnificent, but his heart was more peaceful than ever before. “When the border is peaceful, the people will be happy. This is the bright scene that everyone wants to see.”
He said these words from the bottom of his heart, perhaps also because of the long-term influence of Yun Qing, so he naturally poured out his heart.
After he finished speaking, not only Yun Qing, but even he himself was stunned.
"If Your Majesty wishes to see that vision, you must strive for it yourself. You are young now, and you have a long, long future ahead of you. There is no vision that cannot be achieved."
Yun Qing felt a surge of satisfaction. She gazed deeply at Xie Rang, a smile she couldn't hide between her brows, a sense of pride in her presence.
[From this perspective, it seems that, unbeknownst to many, the little tyrant had already developed the qualities of a wise ruler.]
