By lunchtime, Qin Yuan had finished writing and laid it out on the table to dry the ink.
Hongye and Cuiming have returned and washed their hands before setting out the meal.
With Lord Gu absent, the two of them and Qin Yuan divided the food as usual. Qin Yuan said, "Take some over to Shen Chang Le and say it's a reward for him. Don't say anything else."
Someone like Shen Changle could become the Great Sage simply by attaching a tail; he's incredibly clever.
Hongye nodded and said, "Okay."
Qin Yuan knew she wanted to get closer to Shen Changle, and smiled.
Not long after, Hongye returned. As soon as she sat down, she said, "Miss, Xiaohong told me that the Marquis's adopted son asked her to help write a letter, saying that he wanted to send a letter to the Marquis."
"oh?"
Qin Yuan raised her eyebrows, picked up a diamond-shaped piece of goose breast, dipped it in a sauce made with rice wine, and put it in her mouth.
With neat, white teeth, I gently bit into it. The chef had done an excellent job; it separated easily, and the rich flavor instantly filled my lips and tongue.
He also had the air of a effeminate scholar.
Do you remember that before the small victory of the Marquis of Dingbei in the north, there were frequent floods and droughts, and the court was able to fight again? Gu Jinghui also dared to enter the Central Plains again, but he only stopped at the border and disturbed the people.
Yu Wanzhe had already avoided it, so he dared to accept your courtesy.
But those who shouted the loudest in the court were those who advocated suppressing the military generals.
Yu Wan felt that he should shrink away and hide somewhere.
Princess Fuyun quickly stepped back and bowed, tilting her jade-like face upwards, and said in a deep voice, "Eighth Brother, he saved you when you were young, has he forgotten? You heard that Brother Qi was coming to the military camp, so you made a fuss to come and see your savior. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me, Eighth Brother. Brother Qi was only able to find a way because of your fuss. If you want to blame someone, blame it on you for being naughty."
We were just young boys in the northern frontier, barely making it to the end, so it was really suitable for us to associate too closely with the princes.
That's why I'm wasting my time worrying about this.
Even Lin Ziqi, who had not yet stepped down from his position as prime minister, said that Gu Jinghui was the one who would bring down the dynasty.
Moreover, the Crown Prince, born to the new Emperor, is physically strong, and many people say that the Crown Prince may live a long life.
King Qi chuckled badly and said, "That was Princess Fuyun. You were only old enough to remember things when your eighth brother went to the northern frontier. She insisted on coming along when she heard that you were coming to the military camp to see your eighth brother."
This is really troublesome.
Cuiming picked up where Hongye left off and asked, "What did he ask Xiaohong to write?"
Yu Wanzhe seems to be taking another step out of the capital. The young soldiers are fighting, and the civil officials have repeatedly submitted memorials to the court, saying that they want to suppress the military generals. The military pay has been cut, and seven or eight out of ten soldiers have been discharged from the army and returned to their fields.
...
That's a princess, you know.
Hongye said, "I don't know if the Pang family has any scholars. In any case, it's up to Yu Wan to figure that out."
King Qi laughed and said, "Eighth Brother, you really came to see him because of Eighth Sister-in-law's matter. Fu Yun, you're not being naughty and want to come along. Back then, he pulled you back from the Peach Blossom Pond next to the Jiaofang Palace, preventing you from falling into the pond. It was still chilly in spring, and there was no one around. You were a big child. If you had fallen, would you have survived? He deserves to be called a savior."
Hongye said, "Xiao Hong said that after listening to what Miss said, he plans to study hard and take the imperial examination in the future to show Miss. He said he promised the Marquis that he would study at the Imperial Academy."
Qin Yuan nodded to herself.
Lord Gu's face turned even paler, and he said patiently, "That's a military camp. Is it a place for women and children to come to? Is it a place for sightseeing? Logically speaking, he should have been asked to leave."
"The red goose that brings the wine is truly delightful," Qin Yuan murmured in praise.
The Marquis chuckled deeply, then picked up another eggplant with his chopsticks. The eggplant had been braised with pheasant, making it tender, flavorful, and perfect with rice.
Yu Wan, already burly with a full beard, looked like a little bear. His eyes were fixed on the person, truly like a clumsy bear eyeing its prey. The scholar glared at him angrily and asked, "What is he looking at?"
It turns out that Cheng Ge'er was the one who started the imperial examinations at the Imperial Academy.
Qin Yuan hurriedly swallowed the goose breast in her mouth and drank some water to avoid choking.
Shen Changle is suited to wade into muddy waters.
Yes, it must be said that Madam Gu's choice to abandon martial arts for literature was the right one.
Has the King of Qi's favorite taken a liking to the general again?
After listening to Princess Fuyun's words, Yu Wanzhe lowered his eyelids and gave the smiling Prince Qi a sharp look before saying indifferently, "That was an old matter from many years ago, and I haven't remembered it yet. I suppose it was just a small matter, a casual act. How could I be worthy of being called a savior? The princess must have kept it in her heart. Princess, you are of noble birth and noble status. How could you step into the military camp? You should go back with your brother as soon as possible. That place is more suitable for the princess."
My place is a small camp.
Yu Wanzhe frowned in confusion, but then I remembered and said, "That was just something that happened by chance. I often went in and out of the palace when I was a child. I saw the princess a few times when she was a child, but I don't remember it very well. I didn't expect her to be so young."
Is it even watchable? Look at how effeminate he is, is that acceptable?
Princess Fuyun's face lost its joy.
In later generations, Pang Cheng apparently became a military officer and served by Yu Wanzhe's side.
"It's a man?"
Princess Fuyun also said, "Eighth Brother, you are definitely causing trouble. You were just sitting for a while and then leaving. You should have thanked him in person for saving your life. No matter what, you are in the wrong."
It's exactly like a flood that engulfs you before you die.
The Marquis nodded and said, "Thinking about retreating is always a bad thing."
Inside the military tent, Qin Yuan frowned as she stared at the middle-aged scholar in an indigo robe standing beside the gentle and refined Prince Qi.
Lord Gu frowned, his sharp eyes sweeping over General Yu Wan before turning to Prince Qi, and asked in a heated voice, "What is he doing bringing other people to this important military camp?"
That princess was deeply favored by the emperor, and she and Prince Qi were born of the same mother, both born to the late emperor.
And the myna bird.
King Qi said helplessly, "You've already come all this way, and everyone who needs to know knows, but you haven't said what you should have said. Are you just taking on this title for nothing?"
Although the scholar was as handsome as the Prince of Qi, he was also quite good-looking, but he lacked any effeminate air. He spoke and acted like a man, with fair and smooth skin. His phoenix eyes were fixed on his general, their watery gaze seemingly filled with affection.
Yu Wanzhe's expression did not change, but he still insisted, "It would be better for Prince Qi to leave with the princess as soon as possible. It is really not a good place for them to stay."
Is the King of Qi a womanizer?
King Qi sighed, "Yes, she's grown so small. That eldest girl has known since she was little that he saved me, and she's always remembered it. Next time he returns to the capital with his troops, you even booked the Chunfeng Deyilou restaurant on Hengjie Xiaodao just to watch him enter the city."
However, if Gu Jinghui were to attack again, there would be no more capable young generals and soldiers to spare.
Qin Yuan: "..."
My savior.
Yu Wan was so shocked that she couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly covered her mouth again.
All of what I was thinking about is too far removed from you. You're just a sheltered young man; you can live a bad life however you want. You see the political situation perfectly, but you have no power to do anything about it. You're powerless to do anything about it.
