Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, the soldier lowered his head slightly, looked dejected for a moment, then quickly clenched his hands at his sides and said firmly, "That's why we need to prove ourselves even more, and we hope that Young Master Mo can accept us."
Just as he was about to kneel down, Mo Shisheng kicked him hard in the knees, forcing the soldier to stand up.
Mo Shisheng said calmly, "I have gold under my knees."
"That……"
"Run ten laps around that mountain."
Mo Shisheng spoke softly, pointing her slender, fair finger at the high mountain.
Upon hearing this, all eight of them turned to look at the mountain. Although a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, none of them said they couldn't complete it.
Mo Shisheng gave them a deep look before turning her gaze away. Finally, she led Lei Ming and the others away, heading towards the camp.
It was lunchtime, so Mo Shisheng told them to eat and then rest for half an hour before gathering again.
However, feeling uncomfortable from being soaked in sweat, Mo Shisheng went back to her tent to prepare hot water and wiped herself down.
After finishing lunch, she walked towards a river behind the house, remembering that the water there was very clear and perfect for washing her hair.
After washing her hair, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and gracefully climbed up a large tree, leaning lazily against it.
But Mo Shisheng never expected that Qi Yufeng would be sitting opposite the tree.
Qi Yufeng was looking at her with a half-smile, a hint of amusement in his long, narrow eyes. "Training is tiring."
"fine."
Mo Shisheng raised her hand and picked a large leaf to shield her face from the light, preparing to rest for a while.
The area under the tree was very shady, and the occasional breeze dispersed some of the heat, making it very comfortable.
Just as Mo Shi was about to drift off to sleep in comfort, he vaguely heard Qi Yufeng say, "Today is the day Mu Xiao is married off to the Southern Kingdom."
"..."
Hearing Qi Muxiao's name, Mo Shisheng's sleepiness dissipated a little, but she still didn't move, remaining in the same position sleeping on the thick tree trunk.
“She is my younger sister, born of the same mother. Since my father placed high hopes on me, hoping that I could become the crown prince and inherit the throne, I have learned many things that I could not have done at my age.”
At this point, Qi Yufeng chuckled softly, a faint smile that seemed to dissipate with a gust of wind. "Mu Xiao loves to cling to me, but I've never had time to play with her. Every time she comes to play happily, she's stopped at the door by my tutor. Through the window, I can only see her playing alone outside, so pitiful."
"As she grew older, Mu Xiao gradually stopped clinging to me. She went from an ignorant girl to the most beloved princess of Qi Kingdom. She had everything she wanted, but she never experienced warmth."
“After giving birth to Mu Xiao, my mother’s health deteriorated, making it impossible for her to accompany me. I don’t know when, but I discovered a secret: on every day when the Imperial Preceptor held the morning court session, Mu Xiao would wait outside the Zichen Palace, far away, hiding behind the stone lions.”
"She thought that only she knew what she was thinking, little did she know that I knew too. From that time on, Mu Xiao would deliberately inquire about where the Imperial Advisor went, and she would blush when the Imperial Advisor was mentioned."
"Until that victory celebration, everything changed..."
