"You! You don't keep your word!"
"It's not convenient for you to go to the court." Lu Zhenzhi got on the horse brought by the soldiers. "Play by yourself, ride a horse, practice whipping. If that doesn't work, find a few of my soldiers to help you catch crickets."
"I'm not a child!"
Lu Zhenzhi stretched out his hand. Fu Tong'er thought that Jiu Ye had agreed, and she reached out excitedly, but the man pulled her closer and touched her head.
"Be good." Lu Zhenzhi said, and with a smile on his face, he rode away amidst Fu Tong'er's mumbling curses. Fu Tong'er hurried up to the observation deck and saw Lu Zhenzhi's horse galloping down the mountain. He suddenly stopped and waved in his direction.
Fu Tong'er didn't know why tears welled up in her eyes. As if the man was going to war and she was there to see him off, she raised her hand and wiped away her tears.
Lu Zhenzhi's eyesight was not bad. He could not help but laugh when he saw Fu Tong'er's affectionate expression from afar. The love of a little girl was indeed pure and touching. He even saw her raise her hand to wipe away her tears...
"Heh, little girl."
Lu Zhenzhi then pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and shouted, "Silly girl! I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Fu Tong'er quickly turned around, laughing and crying, leaning against the wooden railing, slightly sideways, and saw that Lu Zhenzhi had put down his hand and rode his horse down the mountain... She leaned on the railing again and looked out, and he was getting farther and farther away.
That afternoon, she watched the new recruits come and go, the patrols move about on the grasslands of the training grounds. Sometimes she would lie on the ground pulling weeds, sometimes she would ride in circles across the grasslands, and finally she would return to the commander's tent. She walked to Lu Zhenzhi's usual seat and sat down, and the feeling of being a commander came over her.
She imitated Lu Zhenzhi, straightening her back, spreading her legs firmly on the ground, and placing her hands on her knees. She said in a mellow voice: "Deputy General Xiao! Go and check this matter! Deputy General Xiao! What do you think about this? Military Advisor Xu..." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Puzhen walked into the tent and saw Fu Tong'er's appearance. She almost laughed out loud, but she held back and said:
"What is Miss Fu doing?"
Fu Tong'er hurriedly stood up and stammered, "I, that, nothing, I just, what are you doing here? The Ninth Master went to the palace and is not here."
The Ninth Master went to the palace? Didn’t the Second Prince make an appointment with him at the Flower Treasure Pavilion… Never mind, it’s not good for the little girl to know about that kind of place. If she gets into trouble with the master, wouldn’t he be the one who suffers? So he said:
"Uh, yes, I know. I came to ask Miss Fu something."
"Looking for me? What do you want from me?"
Xiao Pu said: "It's like this. I want to buy her a piece of jewelry, but I don't know what kind to buy. What if she doesn't like it and gets upset, so..."
"Qiao'er? As for jewelry, you've found the right person. So, Lieutenant General Xiao is planning to take me to the market?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not. No, absolutely not." Deputy General Xiao waved his hands repeatedly. "If Qiao'er knew I was walking around the street with another woman, strangling me to death would be the least of my worries."
"Then how can I choose for you? Wait, how are you going to reward me?"
Xiao Pu said, "I have brought three blueprints with me. Miss Fu, please choose one as a token of your gratitude."
Fu Tong'er thought for a long time and said, "Okay, bring it here."
Deputy General Xiao took out three blueprints from his lapel and placed them on the desk. Fu Tong'er saw "Jin Yu Fang" underneath the blueprints. This was a famous jewelry store in the imperial city.
"Three bracelets..." Fu Tong'er held up her chin. One was a blood jade cypress bracelet, one was a emerald green bracelet inlaid with gold and decorated with a flying phoenix, and one was a snow cloud silk white cold jade bracelet. "All three are very beautiful. How about giving them all to me?"
"That won't do! Qiao'er will accuse me of wasting money, and I'll get beaten up in the end."
Fu Tong'er chuckled: "Coward, then go with the one in the middle. Little Phoenix, looks good."
"Miss Fu, choose one too."
"No need. Just don't tell Master Jiu what you just saw, and don't give him any bad advice."
"...Okay...right." Xiao Pu collected the blueprint and asked, "Miss Fu, have you two made up?"
Fu Tong'er sighed: "I can't help it. Your Ninth Master cried and begged me to forgive him. I am a magnanimous person and forgave him."
