Luo Lingyu grieved and told Mrs. Luo about the quarrel between the two of them, hiding the details, and asked the elders for advice. Mrs. Luo suggested that Luo Lingyu go meet Lu Sanlang. For a man like Lu Sanlang who was so arrogant, it would be okay for a girl to please him... After Luo Lingyu prepared the meal, she was pushed out by the anxious Mrs. Luo.
…
Luo Lingyu felt ashamed and was afraid of being recognized, so she went out secretly and did not dare to walk on the right path. When she got off the car at the military camp, she was accompanied by only Lingyu, a maid. However, the military camp would not let them in, so Luo Lingyu and the maid wandered outside anxiously, carrying food boxes.
Luo Lingyu said nothing and watched Lingyu beg the guard.
Suddenly, I felt a burning gaze staring at me.
The girl turned her head and looked.
Outside the military camp, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder. General Wei Cong led his troops back to the camp. He was riding on a tall horse. He saw the beautiful girl below, who was as beautiful as morning dew. He took a deep breath and was stunned.
"The fairy has descended to earth..."
General Wei suddenly had an idea: I have never seen such a beautiful girl before. He dismounted, bowed and greeted her, laughing heartily: "...Could it be the princess?"
"Will Her Royal Highness Princess come to my Southern Kingdom to marry? Does it have to be His Majesty?"
The woman's dress was flying, and her waist was narrow. Behind her was the sound of soldiers training in the camp, and in front of her was the clear sky. Luo Lingyu stared at him with wide eyes.
General Wei shamelessly approached her and asked, "Princess, can you please look at me?"
Luo Lingyu: “…”
Chapter 95
This girl was not the princess from the northern country who came back with Lu Sanlang, but she was closely related to him—the girl from the Luo family was actually Lu Sanlang’s fiancée.
She was a woman who had an engagement certificate and had not yet broken off the engagement, but was still seduced by Lu Saburo.
Wei Cong, the general of Wei, asked his soldiers to investigate. After finding out what Luo Lingyu had done, he felt upset and even more depressed. He personally and attentively sent Luo Lingyu home. When she came back riding on a tall horse, Wei Cong's face was as black as a roof and he gritted his teeth - Lu Sanlang, it was Lu Sanlang again! The son of a noble family that he looked down upon could make a beauty like Luo Lingyu come all the way from here.
Why was Wei Cong's marriage so unhappy when they were both in the army?
Because he was promoted from a humble family by King Chen.
When children from poor families enter the society of the gentry, they want to stand out and improve their status, so they naturally marry someone higher up, and are unwilling to mix with poor people who are not as good as themselves. However, Wei Cong is conceited. He not only looks down on poor people who are not as good as himself, but also refuses to have a "wealth marriage" with the gentry he likes, no matter how much money he raises. General Wei is a good fighter, but his marriage is neither good nor bad, which makes him worry for no reason. Now that he has set his eyes on a princess from the north, he should have nothing to do with the environment of the south, where the gentry and the common people are clearly divided. He wants to be shameless and marry a beautiful princess - but he didn't expect that Luo Lingyu is also Lu Sanlang's.
Wei Cong was furious: With Lu Sanlang's looks, what kind of woman does he want? Why are all the beautiful women in the world staring at Lu Sanlang? Doesn't a man from another family need to marry?
Wei Cong was committed to digging into Lu Sanlang's corner.
Luo Lingyu was waiting for Lu Yun. She wanted Lu Yun to come and apologize to her, and she was anxious to tell her third cousin about Lu Erlang's dream. General Wei warmly invited Luo Lingyu to watch the military exercise in his camp, and Luo Lingyu agreed. Wei Cong was smart and played with Luo Lingyu for a day. Late at night, he specially set up a tent for Luo Lingyu in the army, saying - how can we let General Lu's family run around?
Luo Lingyu's beautiful eyes smiled, her cheeks stained with syrup: This general is really a playboy, he knows how to please girls. She hasn't even married Lu Sanlang yet, but General Wei said she is Lu Yun's family.
General Wei was satisfied and thought: Who said she was his fiancée? She is Lu Sanlang's cousin, so she is also Lu Sanlang's family.
With their own hidden agenda, the man was mighty and the woman was charming, and the relationship between General Wei and the daughter of the Luo family was particularly pleasant. When Lu Yun brought the real princess back, he saw General Wei and Luo Lingyu chatting and laughing happily. The general who always argued with Lu Sanlang and complained about Lu Yun's mother-in-law was now bending over and holding the reins, leading the horse all the way in the pony field, while Luo Lingyu, who looked tense and had a pretty face, sat on the horse.
Luo Lingyu was not good at these sports, and she had never ridden a horse before. When Wei Cong found out, he volunteered to teach her. At this moment, General Wei did not have the usual loud voice of banging the table and yelling. He spoke softly, holding back the sweat on his forehead. Wei Cong trotted and led the horse, constantly looking back at the girl on the horse, as if he was afraid that a loud voice would scare the girl: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll watch, the lady won't fall off..."
A young general blew a whistle and ran to General Wei to say a few words. The next moment, General Wei and Luo Lingyu, who was stretched on her horse, turned their heads and looked at Lu Sanlang, the woman beside Lu Sanlang, and the dozens of envoys from the Northern Kingdom who were following behind him.
When two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys. The envoys from the Northern Kingdom followed their princess and looked at the Southern Kingdom's camp with a critical eye. When they saw the configuration of the camp, their faces turned ugly, because the Southern Kingdom was much richer than the Northern Kingdom, and the weapons, armor, and war horses in the army were better than those in the Northern Kingdom. But when they saw that a great general actually taught a girl to ride a horse, the envoys smiled delicately: Oh, it's just as the famous scholar said, the people of the Southern Kingdom are extravagant, lazy, and only know how to enjoy themselves.
The army of the North is much stronger than that of the South.
The envoys watched in awe. The princess, who was wearing a veil beside Lu Yun, saw the graceful figure of the girl on the horse. She turned back and looked into Lu Yun's dark, narrowed eyes. The princess' heart sank and she felt heavy. Through the pearls and jade, the princess of the Northern Kingdom stared at Luo Lingyu, secretly comparing their beauty and figures. The princess of the Northern Kingdom considered herself a beauty and proudly wore a veil to prevent outsiders from looking at her...but she didn't expect to see such a woman in the military camp.
And Lu Saburo stared at him intently.
The Princess of the Northern Kingdom said in a deep voice: "The lamp that Lu Sanlang asked me for was for her? Is it because of her that you don't want to marry me?"
It is not necessary to marry the emperor of the Southern Kingdom to be called a marriage alliance. In this era, the status of the noble families is high, and the government of the world is controlled by the noble families. If you marry into a noble family and become a noble family wife, or enter the emperor's harem, it is hard to say which one is better.
