Chapter 154 The Angry Princess and the Rough General 9
Shen Beizhan only needed to pull lightly to pull this delicate person off his body.
But he didn't do that.
Cha Jiu continued, "Just now on the road, you said that I would remarry after you died in battle. But you were wrong. I told you a long time ago that I wanted to live a good life with you."
"If there are no children, we will adopt one."
"If you die in battle, I will set up a Buddhist temple with a constant stream of green lights, and when the child grows up, he will follow you."
Cha Jiu raised her eyes again, and her eyes, which were filled with moisture, were firm and unwavering: "Anyway, when I said I wanted to live a good life with you, it wasn't just a casual remark."
…
Shen Bei fled out of the tent.
Somewhere under his body, the pain had not yet subsided, and he was spotted by his subordinates in the camp.
The subordinate smiled meaningfully: "General, your passion is really strong."
"..." Shen Beizhan said impatiently: "Roll, roll, roll."
The subordinate walked a few steps away.
"Wait, I have something to ask you." Shen Beizhan called him back.
The subordinates came back obediently.
"How is your wife doing lately?"
Subordinates: ""
"Did she ever tell you what she would do if something happened to you on the battlefield?"
Subordinates: ""
Shen Beizhan coughed lightly: "That's not what I meant... I just want to ask, if you knew that the future was full of dangers and would end in death, would you still delay a woman's life?"
The current situation of military officers in the imperial court is not optimistic.
Factional struggles intensified, the trend of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs became serious, and military investment became weak.
In the entire court, the only family that could truly lead troops to fight without getting involved in any party faction was the Shen family.
Now, Shen Beizhan is the only one left in the Shen family. It is conceivable that he will be sent to the battlefield again and again until he dies on the battlefield.
This is why the Shen family was criticized by the party, but the emperor still valued and rewarded the Shen family, and even married his only princess to the childless Shen Beizhan.
The tremendous glory must be repaid by squeezing the last drop of blood from the Shen family.
Shen Beizhan knew his own ending.
The subordinate pondered, then asked: "Is this woman interested?"
Shen Beizhan hesitated: "...I think so."
Seeing how tightly she hugged me just now, I think she has
Subordinate: "What about this man?"
Shen Beizhan: “A little bit.”
It would be a lie to say that he had never been attracted to Cha Jiu.
The subordinate clapped his fists and said, "Then it's over. You and the princess love each other, so there's no need to be afraid. Just stay together happily."
Shen Beizhan: "...It's not me and the princess, it's a friend."
"Oh, my friend." The subordinate hugged Shen Beizhan's shoulders and said in a serious tone, "There is a saying that goes, if there are flowers to be picked, pick them quickly. Don't wait until all the flowers have fallen before you pluck the branches and make a fuss."
Shen Beizhan had a blank expression on his face: "Can you please read more books in your daily life? It's like picking flowers when they are ready..."
"It's all the same." The subordinate waved his hand: "The important thing is that the world is unpredictable. Don't give up the happiness you have now for the unknown future."
Shen Beizhan looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you talking so much about reason today?"
The subordinate scratched his head, also feeling strange: "Really? I also feel that my mind has suddenly become much clearer today!"
…
Shen Beizhan did not return to the tent, but the system kept reminding him that his favorability level was fluctuating between 30% and 40%.
Cha Jiu put on the half-opened clothes again: "Looks like I have to find an opportunity to use strong medicine directly. Do you have any medicine that can stimulate desire?"
System: "Yes, you want to force yourself on me."
Cha Jiu: "Since he is struggling, let's just create some ties to force him to move forward."
Maybe this method won’t work on Shen Beizhan when his favorability is low at the beginning.
But now his heart is shaken.
She had to find the right time.
On the evening of the first day of hunting, according to custom, a banquet is held in the camp to celebrate the good harvest.
The night sky was bright, the moon was high in the sky, a bonfire was blazing in the camp, the deerskin warriors were performing a sacrificial dance, and the ministers were sitting in their seats, toasting to each other and talking.
The emperor, sitting on the high throne, was wearing a bright yellow robe with dragon embroidery and sat majestically. Only when Chu Mengwan talked to him about funny things with a smile did his eyes become kind and gentle.
Chu Mengwan has won the emperor's favor. This is something all the noble ladies in the capital know, and it is also the reason why they are willing to make friends with her.
Shen Beizhan just kept his head down while eating meat and drinking, not daring to look at Cha Jiu beside him.
Cha Jiu said with a smile: "You just eat all by yourself and don't care about me at all"
Shen Beizhan said nothing, cut off a large piece of meat from the whole leg of lamb on the table and threw it into the tea bowl.
Cha Jiu looked at the piece of meat that was bigger than his face: "..."
However, Shen Beizhan quickly took the piece of meat away, picked up a knife and cut the meat into thin slices to make it easier for Cha Jiu to eat.
He has begun to get used to complaining about Cha Jiu's fastidiousness and then unconsciously adapting to her fastidiousness.
Sudden.
The painful neighing of a horse echoed through the sky.
Shen Beizhan looked up and his expression changed drastically.
It turned out that the banquet had come to the horse taming performance. The prince of Su presented a horse that was shiny black and had snow under its feet, and his followers tamed it in front of everyone.
This wild horse was whipped repeatedly until it was covered with scars, but it showed no fear of giving in.
Even the retainer who was good at training horses was nearly thrown off the ground several times.
Cha Jiu noticed that Shen Beizhan's face looked strange: "What's wrong with you?"
"This is my father's lost warhorse."
Shen Beizhan watched the horse being abused like this, his fists clenched and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
But he can't be a horse in public.
Prince Su and the Shen family have always been at odds. If Shen Beizhan asked for the lost warhorse, Prince Su would definitely order his retainers to kill the warhorse directly.
But if he didn't ask for it, the warhorse would be beaten to death because it refused to be tamed.
Cha Jiu leaned over to his ear and whispered, "I'll go get it back for you, but you have to agree to one condition, okay?"
Shen Beizhan had deep feelings for his father's warhorse, but at this moment he hesitated.
Without waiting for his reply, Cha Jiu walked directly to Prince Su and whispered a few words.
Prince Su was hesitant at first, but after hearing something, his face brightened up and he nodded repeatedly.
Shen Beizhan had a bad feeling. When Cha Jiu came back, he asked, "What did you promise him?"
Cha Jiu said: "Prince Su is good friends with Chu Mengwan, so I said I would kowtow to Chu Mengwan and ask him to give me the horse."
Shen Beizhan's face darkened, he grabbed Cha Jiu's wrist and shouted, "Don't go! I'd rather not have this warhorse than do such a thing!"
Cha Jiu stared at him and laughed, "I was just teasing you. I suggested that I lose to Chu Mengwan in the archery competition to save her face, and the prince agreed."
This horse was originally intended by Prince Su to be tamed and given to Chu Mengwan to make her happy.
But what could please his beloved cousin more than embarrassing Cha Jiu in public?
Of course Prince Suo agreed readily.
Shen Beizhan's face turned even darker: "What's the difference between this and just bowing your head and embarrassing yourself?"
On the other hand, Prince Su couldn't wait to send someone to tell Chu Mengwan the good news that Cha Jiu would participate in the competition.
After hearing this, Chu Mengwan smiled, raised her glass to toast the prince, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The maidservant beside her also whispered happily: "Princess Chenghui is not good at archery and has never dared to participate in the competition. She will be embarrassed in front of the emperor later."
