"It's really adding to the frustration!"
Feng Beichuan rubbed his aching temples, then picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Even after finishing, he still felt the fire in his heart, so he had to pour another cup. He repeated this process until the whole pot of tea was empty.
"This fellow moved so quickly, his intentions are malicious, he's truly despicable!"
Feng Beichuan paced anxiously in the study. The mere mention of Ye Lingxiao's name made him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He was uneasy and racked his brains for a solution, fearing that the woman might accidentally fall into a trap and be kidnapped.
She actually went to great lengths to host a banquet for that guy. There will definitely be a lot of drinking at the banquet. No matter what, she is a woman. It is really inappropriate!
"Help! Help!"
Hearing the noise, the maid pushed open the door and timidly asked Feng Beichuan what his orders were. Feng Beichuan waved his hand and said, "Get out, get out. I didn't call you!"
The maidservant retreated inexplicably, and just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly saw a figure flash before her eyes, and a gentle breeze brushed her face—the study door was already closed!
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Cangyun bowed slightly, awaiting instructions.
Before Feng Beichuan could speak, a figure in red flashed in, and Cang Yun let out a scream, "You stepped on my foot!"
"cut."
Zhuque rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything more. There wasn't a trace of apology on her face. She lifted her foot and rubbed the sole of her shoe on the ground, as if she had just stepped on dog poop instead of a human foot.
"You two tell your men to prepare; we'll move out tonight!"
Where are we going this time?
Cang Yun looked on with anticipation, as if he wasn't the one who had just been grimacing and had his foot stepped on. He always loved to join in the fun, and now he was already rubbing his hands together, unable to contain himself.
"Go to Princess Chang'an's military camp!"
Feng Beichuan's eyes were unwavering. "The military camp is hosting a banquet tonight. Let's go and have a drink."
Cangyun almost choked on his own saliva. He had personally witnessed his prince being beaten up and slinking back home several times before. They had finally been at peace for a while, so why was he going to die again?
Zhuque's lips twitched involuntarily, but he didn't say anything. Cangyun wanted to dissuade him, but seeing his lord's fearless attitude, he thought that even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't matter, so he had no choice but to comply.
夜幕降临万籁皆静，摄政王府内却开始骚动，只要有苍云在，大家就不怕没有小道消息探听，下人们议论纷纷，无一不感慨摄政王的一片痴心，就算是挨揍也要求娶心爱女子。
In the military camp, the banquet arrived as scheduled. The surrounding area was brightly lit, and everyone was busy serving wine and dishes. Some soldiers with talents were preparing to entertain everyone, making it a wonderful occasion.
"Today is a joyous day for everyone. I, Old Sun, am not good at anything else, but I will first toast General Lingxiao!"
Deputy General Sun, with an imposing air, poured himself a large bowl of strong liquor and drank it all in one gulp without even blinking.
"I also respect General Lingxiao!"
Li Chang'an sat in the host's seat, poured a bowl of wine, and stood up. Ye Lingxiao also quickly stood up and picked up a wine bowl. All the soldiers below stood up, raised their wine cups, and drank heartily together.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Several soldiers beat drums and swords to cheer everyone on. When the mood was high, Li Chang'an stood up again, picked up a wine bowl, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, today I, Li Chang'an, once again pour wine to toast you all. I am grateful to you all for fighting alongside me to protect our country. The situation is very favorable to us now, and we will definitely win one victory after another!"
"We swear to follow General Chang'an to the death!"
"We swear to follow General Chang'an to the death!"
All the soldiers stood up, raised their arms and shouted together. Everyone was filled with passion and loyalty to their General Chang'an, because they had been through thick and thin together for years. General Chang'an had always regarded all his soldiers as family and brothers.
This scene touched Li Chang'an deeply, and her eyes welled up with tears. She secretly vowed that she would never let everyone down.
Ye Lingxiao stared intently at the woman before him. Her body seemed to radiate a dazzling light in the darkness, more dazzling than the stars in the sky. She held boundless ambition in her hands and her eyes sparkled with tenderness. She stood alone among all living beings, yet seemed untouched by this world.
Unparalleled in the world.
Ye Lingxiao's feelings were condensed into these four words. The sound of string and bamboo instruments rang out. One soldier played a melodious tune on a homemade ocarina, while another soldier composed a love song with freshly picked leaves.
The room was silent, thoughts swirled, and memories surfaced.
After a few bowls of wine, Li Chang'an became more talkative. Her cheeks were flushed, adding to her feminine charm.
"Ling Xiao, I'm so happy today, you know? I haven't had this much fun in a long time. It's all thanks to you. Come on, let me toast you!"
Li Chang'an tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp, then smacked his lips: "This wine is good, it's quite potent!"
"Chang'an, drink less and eat more vegetables."
Seeing Li Chang'an's somewhat erratic state, Ye Lingxiao couldn't help but worry. He moved the wine jar aside and served her some more food.
"Oh, I'm so happy! I'm warning you, don't you dare spoil my fun!"
Li Chang'an pointed at Ye Lingxiao, "Bring the wine back to me!"
"Just drinking is so boring. We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you have anything interesting to tell me?"
Ye Lingxiao subtly changed the subject, "I've told you everything I saw and heard outside today, so you can't deny it."
Li Chang'an thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "What interesting things could I possibly do here?"
"However, let me tell you about my past. When I first arrived at the military camp, I was not used to anything, so there are quite a few anecdotes."
