A beautiful little girl dressed in cloth appeared on the mountain road near the imperial city.
Because she was still young, the little girl seemed to have walked quite a distance and could not walk any more, so she just found a flat stone and sat down on it as a chair.
A man passed by. In fact, this man had been secretly following the little girl for a long time. Seeing that she was only five or six years old and had no family members, he had bad intentions.
The man pretended to be kind and asked, "Where are you from, kid? Why are you alone?"
He thought that if the little girl was really separated from her family, he would pretend to help her find her parents and take her away.
The girl raised her face. She had two buns on her hair, and the neat bangs on her forehead made her look particularly cute. She had a pair of black and shiny eyes, a cherry-like mouth, and snow-white skin.
In terms of her dress, this girl is just ordinary, but in terms of her appearance, one can already foresee a stunning beauty in the future.
The girl stretched out her right hand. A jet-black bracelet was on her fair wrist. She fiddled with her bangs nonchalantly and said softly, "Uncle, my dad said there are a lot of bad guys out there. Don't talk to strangers."
Man: “…”
The man laughed dryly: "I'm just asking you out of kindness, what do you mean?"
The girl giggled and said, "You followed me all the way, and you asked when no one was around. How can that be out of kindness?"
This little girl is really sharp-tongued!
The man didn't expect to be discovered so early. He was so angry that he stopped pretending and stretched out his hand to pull her. The little girl glanced at him coldly and said, "Think it over carefully. If you dare to do it, you will break your arms and legs and you will bear the consequences yourself."
The little girl's face sank, with an innate majesty.
The man's legs trembled for no apparent reason, and he said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. You're just a yellow-haired girl. How can I be afraid of you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly covered his arm and screamed, and a line of blood quickly rolled down his hand.
The man rolled on the ground in pain. The girl stood up and said contemptuously, "You can't bear it just because your arm is broken? This is the result of your evil intentions."
The girl raised her hand, as fast as lightning, and tapped the man's body. The man couldn't move, and could only open his mouth and howl. The girl said, "Too noisy."
She was afraid of soiling her embroidered handkerchief, so she grabbed a handful of dirt and stuffed it into the man's mouth. She then took out a sharp dagger from her boots and said with a smile, "How about carving your crime on your face and sending you to the court?"
The man stared at her in horror. The cold dagger kept waving at his face. His eyes rolled back and he fainted out of fright.
“It’s really useless.”
The girl rolled her eyes to the sky and put away the dagger.
"An Jiu, thank you for your help just now!"
The girl put on a smile and looked at a rock not far away.
Two men came out from behind the rocks. One of them was handsome, radiant, and had a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes. The other was tall and straight, handsome, and looked 80% similar to the girl. Neither of them was the Anjiu dressed in black.
The girl immediately recognized the two and said in surprise, "Daddy!"
As soon as Ye An appeared, he stepped forward and took the little girl's hand to look at her carefully. After confirming that his precious daughter was fine, he covered his face and cried exaggeratedly, "Tiantian, you are so cruel to leave Daddy. Daddy is so sad, wuwuwu!"
Ye Lian was obviously used to his nonsense, and she saw through him at a glance: "Dad, speak properly, don't cry fakely."
Ye An had no dignity in front of his daughter. He said "Oh" indifferently, wiped his eyes without a single tear, and said, "It's too dangerous outside the palace. How can Tiantian leave the palace alone?"
Ye Lian, the little bully, said confidently, "Second brother, third brother, and fourth brother can all do it, so why can't I! And dad, I'm grown up now, stop calling me by my nickname!"
Ye An hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, Lian'er, be good and listen to your father. All three of them are wrong. Don't learn from them. You are a girl, don't run around everywhere."
Ye Lian snorted: "My father clearly taught me yesterday that men and women are equal and girls are not inferior to boys."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An said in a gentle voice: "Dad said the wrong thing just now, Dad admits his mistake. Dad meant that you are too young to leave the palace. Look, you have met a bad guy, it's too dangerous. If your father hadn't intervened in time, what would you have done?"
Ye Lian pouted: "With An Jiu's protection, there can be no danger. Even if Daddy doesn't take action, An Jiu will."
Ye An and Mu Ci placed secret guards around the children, so when they scattered, Ye An immediately received the news. Even if he didn't chase the other three cubs, Ye An was not particularly worried.
Among them, An Jiu is specifically responsible for the princess's safety. Ye Lian had long known that she was protected by a master, so she was not afraid to leave the palace alone.
Ye An taught his daughter. Mu Ci had never interrupted her. Now he said with a tone of condemnation: "With An Jiu, you are so confident? Do you know that if that man had martial arts skills, you would have been caught. Although An Jiu followed you, he was far away. When you were attacking people and holding a dagger, there were flaws everywhere. If the person hiding behind the rocks is also someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with him in time."
Ye An doted on Ye Lian very much and gave her almost everything she wanted, including learning martial arts with other princes since childhood. Oddly enough, all of his and Mu Ci's children loved martial arts, and Mu Ci taught them martial arts at an early age. In terms of aptitude, Crown Prince Ye Xi and Fourth Prince Ye Chen were the best, followed by Ye Lian. Ye Xi is the crown prince of the dynasty. When he grows up, he will have to take care of state affairs. He practices martial arts mostly for self-defense. Ye Lian, a girl, loves martial arts like her life. When she was very young, she pulled Ye Chen to practice swordplay and horse stance regardless of rain or shine. Her diligence made Ye An's old father burst into tears. Although she is often disrespectful to Ye An, she listens to Mu Ci.
As soon as Mu Ci opened his mouth, Ye Lian realized the danger that had just happened, and the arrogant little princess immediately wilted.
Ye An felt sorry for his daughter and winked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci coughed and continued, "However, you also have merits. When you were traveling, you changed your clothes in advance, you could detect that someone was following you and had bad intentions, and you knew that the bad guys you caught should be sent to the court. You did all these well, but remember not to put yourself in danger again in the future. If you find anything wrong, you should call An Jiu out to deal with it in time. Also, leaving the palace without permission and resorting to lynching are also wrong."
Ye Lian listened to Mu Ci's words, and after thinking carefully for a while, she said, "Dad, I've remembered everything. If I want to go out and play in the future, will you allow me to do so? They all said that you wouldn't agree."
"Who said that!" Ye An smiled and patted her hands. "Lian'er, if you want to go somewhere in the future, tell your father. No matter how busy we are, we will personally accompany you and take you to have fun. How about that?"
Ye Lian tilted her head and smiled slyly: "My second and third brothers told me... What Daddy said is true, how about we make a pinky promise?"
Heng'er and Ke'er, those two irresponsible guys! While Ye An was secretly criticizing the second and third bastards, he dragged Mu Ci and made a pinky promise with his daughter that they would not change their minds for a hundred years.
Ye An smiled and said, "Daughter, let's go home now."
"I haven't had enough fun yet!" Ye Lian shook her head proudly: "Didn't Daddy say that he would take me to play enough, and we just made a promise."
Ye An finally realized that he was being tricked by his daughter. However, his daughter was so smart that the old father was very happy. He rubbed her head and said, "Okay, since we promised you, we must do it. Where do you want to go, Lian'er?"
The little girl raised her head excitedly: "I'm going to crush Yu Luo flat!"
Ye An didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could a girl always say such things?
But Ye An would not blame his daughter for no reason, and asked curiously: "Why go to Yu Luo?"
Ye Lian snorted angrily, "Second brother has been talking about Daddy's amnesia these days. It was all Yu Luo's fault. Lian'er wants to avenge Daddy and crush Yu Luo to the ground!"
I see!
Ye An's heart suddenly warmed up. After exchanging a glance with Mu Ci, he squatted down and touched Ye Lian's head: "Thank you, Lian'er. But the person who did the bad things back then has been executed. Yu Luo has become Yuzhou and merged into the Great Wei. The people of Yu Luo are also the people of the Great Wei. Who do you want to seek revenge on?"
The fierce little princess blinked her eyes and kept silent.
Mu Ci wanted to teach her to face the reality: "Even if Yu Luo is still here and the enemy is alive, you are alone. What can you do even if you are a martial arts expert?"
The little princess pondered for a while, then her eyes lit up: "Then I will... learn how to lead troops and fight. I can protect my father and brothers, and I won't be afraid even if I have Yu Luo!"
She pulled at the corner of Mu Ci's clothes, her eyes full of desire: "I want to learn all these, can Daddy teach me?"
Mu Ci was slightly surprised. He looked at his daughter's face which was similar to his own and said, "It will be harder than learning martial arts. You will have to sleep in the open air. Can you handle it?"
Ye Lian's eyes sparkled, and she said in a clear voice, "I can handle it. Look, Daddy, I came out wearing cloth clothes and eating dry food, and I'm not feeling any discomfort!"
Mu Ci smiled and said, "It won't take one or two hours. It will take a long time, one month, two months, one year, two years, or even a lifetime. Can you do it?"
Ye Lian thought hard, wondering how long a lifetime was, and said, "Lian'er doesn't know, but Lian'er can try!"
Ye An picked her up, scratched her upturned nose, and said with a smile: "Little princess, do you want to be a general? There is no female general in Wei yet!"
Ye Lian asked loudly, "Daddy, can't a girl be a general?"
"Why not." Ye An smiled, "If my Lian'er wants to do something, daddy will definitely be the first to support her."
At this time, Ye Anshang didn't know that it was his conversation with Mu Ci that made the Wei Dynasty's first female general. Princess Ningguo Ye Lian was a legend in the army for a long time. The enemy troops lost their fighting spirit as soon as they heard this name.
She was good at riding and shooting, and was good at commanding troops. She made great military achievements for the Wei Dynasty. Not only that, she also created the first army that only accepted women, teaching women in the world martial arts to defend their country. Later, he participated in politics as a general and assisted two generations of emperors.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
At the moment, Ye Lian is just a little girl with great ambitions who has never suffered a bit of hardship. What Ye An has to worry about is just his little princess sneaking out for a stroll. He never thought that in a few years, he would have to worry about the princess ignoring her beautiful face and falling in love with armor. A few years later, he would have to worry about the princess refusing to get married. A few years later, he would have to worry about the princess asking for permission to go to war... A few years later, he would have to worry about the princess' safety on the battlefield.
Ye An's old father has been worried about his little boy all his life.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
There is something I'm really sorry about and want to tell you all, it's really hard to understand.
I have been thinking about Qiao Yunting's final destination these past two days. According to my plan, Qiao Yunting has thought things through, let them go, and left the palace. This is his way out. He and the prince, more importantly, the birth of the prince, eased the relationship between him and Mu Ci, and they settled down in the harem. When Qiao Yunting left, the prince was only seven or eight years old, still a child. There was no emotional line between Qiao and the prince. It was mainly because of Ye An. Qiao was worried about Xiao An's child.
Are there any little angels who feel pity and regret for Qiao Yunting?
I was also wondering, should Qiao Yunting, who has already let go, have a worthwhile future?
I am so conflicted. I am sorry to bother you all. I don't know what you think. Can you please leave me a message? If you think it is unnecessary, just pretend I didn't say anything. If it is necessary, just arrange it for him? It’s a side story anyway.
It’s definitely not Qiao Yunting and the prince!
