Seeing that she was finally no longer fixated on the wine jar, Ye Lingxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, listening to Li Chang'an rambling on about how he had grown up in the military camp to where he was now.
"That armor was incredibly heavy, but I had to wear it. Every day at cockcrow I would get up, put on the armor, and practice martial arts. My hands were covered in blisters, which eventually turned into calluses and stopped hurting."
"The battlefield is completely different from my previous martial arts training. I used to care about how to make my swordplay look better, but later it became about how to kill with one blow. Who cares about how it looks? When you're fighting, nobody cares about your swordplay posture."
“Back then, none of the men in the army camp truly respected me. I knew that if it weren’t for my status as a princess, they would have abandoned me on the march long ago. I refused to accept it.

The surrounding soldiers were stunned.
