It was Guangyao Armor, the unique armor of the Guangyao Battalion, completely different from the crimson infantry armor she had worn in the Subei Battalion. The brightly colored breastplate on the front was the origin of the "Guangyao" name. The entire suit was so finely crafted that even the slightest shine would reflect a dazzling silver light.
When she was in the capital before, she left in a hurry, so although she was appointed as a general, she did not even have time to take a closer look at the gift. She thought that in addition to the gold, there should also be armor that only a general can wear.
I just don't know if Tiancheng has armor specially prepared for women.
The ceremonial officer was obviously used to this kind of work. He knew what Xiao Nanhui was thinking from the moment he read his expression and smiled eagerly, "General, you have made great contributions. You deserve all this. These armors were newly made at the armory according to your size. You are welcome to try them on." He then raised his eyelids and glanced at Mo Chunhua, "Why don't you help me put on my armor?"
Xiao Nanhui was startled. How could she dare to order Mo Chunhua, this rouge tiger, around? She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, really no, I can do it myself..."
However, Mo Chunhua had already walked towards her with a dark face, and clamped Xiao Nanhui's arms with her hands like iron hooks, and the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"I will help you put on your armor, General. Please raise your arms."
After saying this, Mo Chunhua shut up. Although she looked reluctant, she didn't make things difficult for herself in the end.
Although she was used to being wild, she could still endure what she should endure after living with a concubine from a foreign clan. She couldn't go too far in front of the ceremonial officer. After all, the ceremonial officers were the most busy and loved to pass on messages. If anything inappropriate got to her father, given Yan Guang's temper, he would probably pack her up and send her back to Jizhou Prefecture on the spot.
Poor Xiao Nanhui had never been served by anyone since she could remember, so even the cooperation was very unfamiliar to her. Mo Chunhua's hands were extremely strong, and she was sweating all over after putting on this set of armor.
The ceremonial officer was not surprised at all. He took out a bronze mirror from somewhere and respectfully handed it to Xiao Nanhui.
"General, please correct your appearance."
The shiny bronze mirror reflected a familiar face, yet it seemed a little different from when she left the capital a few months ago. The lines at the corners of her mouth seemed firmer, and her eyes seemed brighter.
Perhaps her face hadn't changed at all, and it was only the armor she was wearing that had changed.
I put on iron armor to repay the king's kindness.
How she had longed to become a famous general one day and stand beside Xiao Jun with full legitimacy.
Now, she finally put on the armor, but it felt incredibly heavy. The tightly connected chains on the armor were like a tightening rope. Although it didn't press on her sternum, it made her feel a little breathless.
After fastening the last wrist armor, Mo Chunhua stepped back to take a look and exclaimed sincerely, "How majestic."
Xiao Nanhui snapped out of his thoughts and stole a glance at the young woman beside him. He felt a little amused and said in a serious tone, "Before, it was a matter of urgency, so I couldn't reveal my identity to you. But now it's different. Could it be that General Yan's daughter is so ignorant of etiquette that she wouldn't even greet me with a proper greeting?"
Mo Chunhua was stunned. She obviously didn't expect to be treated like this. She was ashamed and a little frightened. She bit her lip and then leaned forward to salute.
"My humble self is Mo Chunhua, nice to meet Xiao..."
Before the word "Sir" was uttered, Mo Chunhua heard an uncontrollable laugh.
She suddenly understood, looked up and glared at the laughing woman angrily, muttering in her native Southern Qiang dialect. Xiao Nanhui heard it all and knew it was not a good thing.
She said nothing, walked to the side and picked up the flat string, wanting to put it back on her back as before. When she raised her hand and touched the cold armor, she realized that this outfit probably didn't leave room for her weapon.
She had no choice but to hold the pingxian in her hand. The ceremonial officer saw this and said respectfully but without giving room for refusal, "Master Xiao, please put on your armor and proceed. It is not appropriate to carry weapons in the presence of the emperor."
Xiao Nanhui stood there for a moment in a daze, then lowered his head to blow away the black charcoal ash on the flat string and gently handed it to Mo Chunhua.
"Keep it for me for now, I'll come get it from you later."
After saying this, he no longer looked at the stunned expression on the girl's face, and quickly followed the ceremonial officer out of the tent.
