Lu Yun paused and looked at her sideways: "No."

Just as the princess was about to relax, she heard this Lu Saburo say, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't sacrifice my marriage to marry anyone else. I don't want to marry the princess. I have nothing to do with her. It's just that the princess and I are not meant to be together."

The Princess of the Northern Kingdom did not say anything, but she could hear that Lu Yun did not deny the matter of the lamp.

At that moment, she and Lu Yun stood outside the fence, watching the horses trotting over. General Wei reached out to help the delicate woman dismount. The woman had a full chest and a slender waist. She walked with General Wei, her steps were graceful and her posture was extremely graceful. Not only did the men in the army keep looking over, but even the Princess of the Northern Kingdom herself... couldn't help but lift the curtain she was wearing, revealing her appearance, and competing with this girl!

General Wei glanced at the Princess of the Northern Kingdom without caring. General Wei, who had been used to seeing beautiful women in the past two days, was very calm: Well, the princess is just so-so. Not as good as someone.

I am really jealous of Lu Saburo.

Lu Yun didn't say anything, just looked at Luo Lingyu's eyes and raised his eyebrows. Luo Lingyu looked at the princess beside him, and the princess looked at her with strange eyes. Luo Lingyu's mind stopped for a moment. As a woman, she could see the subtlety between this princess and Lu Sanlang at a glance. She was a little jealous and rolled her eyes at Lu Yun in her heart, thinking that it turned out to be another woman who was impressed by Lu Sanlang's charm.

Seeing Lu Yun lift his robe slightly and take a step forward as if to greet her, the Princess of the Northern Kingdom said, "Lu Sanlang, don't you say more good things about her in front of me? Aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of you and bully your sweetheart? Lu Sanlang's sincerity is no more than this."

Lu Yun turned around and slowly glanced at the princess with a stern face, and said with a smile: "If the princess can bully her, we will talk about it later."

The princess of the Northern Kingdom was stunned. When she was about to ask back, the gate of the military camp was opened. General Wei shouted loudly, pretending to be enthusiastic: "The Northern Kingdom delegation has arrived. What a great honor for our humble home—"

The situation between the two sides was open, and there was no more love between the two countries; every word and action was a national affair. The princess of the Northern Kingdom raised her eyes and looked solemnly at the military camp gates opening, the soldiers lined up, and the drums sounded. Amid the noise, the elegant Lu Yun went first and led the way. The people behind him did not move, and Lu Yun turned around and looked at him as if it was a routine matter.

The princess of the Northern Kingdom watched quietly, and slowly, her robe sleeves fluttered like feathers. She took a deep breath, raised her head and straightened her back, then she raised her feet and walked forward.

Lu Yun seemed to realize something, his eyelashes trembled, and he raised his eyes, looking seriously at the icy jade-like face of the Princess of the Northern Kingdom. But the Princess of the Northern Kingdom no longer paid attention to him, and the Northern Kingdom delegation behind her rushed in and followed the Princess's steps.

From this step, the princess will put aside her personal feelings and dedicate herself to the Northern Kingdom until her death. A new era will begin with this step. This new era and new story will be led by her.

Put aside personal feelings, sometimes, personal feelings are the interests of the country. Besides, isn't it better to marry the young, promising, talented and handsome Lu Saburo than to join the harem of an old man who is about to die?

There is not much difference between conquering the aristocratic families and conquering the imperial court of the Southern Kingdom.

That night, the Wei generals granted the envoys a visit to Nanyang, and the barracks were filled with drinking and toasting until dawn. Luo Lingyu was supposed to go back to the Luo family at night, but she saw that the princess would stay in the tent prepared for her in the barracks, and the princess' eyes kept falling on Lu Yun. Luo Lingyu decided to stay and take another look.

At the evening banquet, the rich food of the South Kingdom made the North Kingdom's envious after secretly comparing it. The South is rich, while the North is harsh... The North Kingdom has a strong military, so why do these drunken and dreaming nobles of the South occupy the best locations? Everyone was unhappy all night, and the North Kingdom's princess stared at Lu Yun.

Seeing Lu Yun walking around the field, he politely but vaguely made contact with the soldiers. Lu Sanlang's noble and arrogant demeanor as a child of an aristocratic family made it almost impossible for him to be approachable. Obviously, Lu Sanlang did not intend to force himself or be approachable. The Wei generals and soldiers opened a jar of wine, and everyone drank until their faces were red. Lu Yun came to the side and just drank a few glasses of wine out of courtesy, and no one said much.

General Wei waved his hands impatiently: "Go away! You can't drink like this, don't disturb us!"

Lu Yun took the opportunity to remind him: "General, can you get these Northern envoys drunk? Find out the reason from them and then tell me. I want to find a way to disrupt their evil ambitions."

When General Wei got drunk, he waved his hands casually. He sneered, despising Lu Yun for trying to play tricks on these northerners. But everyone has his own expertise, and General Wei never refused Lu Yun's face in such matters. Wei Cong stood up slowly holding the wine pot. He waved his arm and the drunken soldiers stood up with him and went to drink with the northern envoys.

Lu Yun returned to the banquet and took a seat next to Luo Lingyu. The girl looked at him with her chin in her hand, her eyes squinting slightly: "How much did you drink?"

Lu Yun was glad that she took the initiative to talk to him, and since the drunkards were busy drinking, no one was watching them, so he smiled and hooked his arm around her shoulders, trying to hold her in his arms. Lu Yun sniffed her hair and smiled, "I lied to them, I didn't drink much."

Luo Lingyu smiled and said, "So you know you can't drink."

When she reached out to push him away, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. Luo Lingyu glanced at them and saw that the princess lowered her head and drank with her sleeves covered, as if she didn't look at them. But whether she looked at them or not... Luo Lingyu didn't push Lu Yun away, but let him hold her obediently, letting him kiss her between her eyebrows affectionately.

Lu Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention my embarrassing things again!"

Luo Lingyu glared at him.

But he couldn't help but ask, "What did I do that night?"

As he spoke, he put his arm around her waist and felt the flesh and bones on her waist. He gradually lost his composure and his hand moved upwards. Lu Sanlang looked down and saw the dim lights and the girl's head lowered. Through her collar, he saw the snow-capped mountains winding up and down, with a thin layer of snow covering the light, hazy and vague, and hesitant to speak.
