"Mission successfully completed, ah, finally I can rest..."
Cangyun stretched and nudged Zhuque beside him with his elbow: "It's my treat today, let's go to this restaurant and have a good meal!"
Zhuque nodded, but the expression on her face did not ease; instead, she looked somewhat heartbroken.
However, it was indeed true; she was still unable to extricate herself from the regret she felt over her few hidden weapons.
The Ice Soul Pearl that I painstakingly created has been wasted on an old dog today. What a waste!
The two entered the restaurant and went up to the second floor, where they saw Feng Beichuan still sitting by the railing, drinking tea and looking down with great interest.
Upon seeing Cangyun and Zhuque return, Feng Beichuan asked the waiter for a private room. After entering, he ordered many dishes and then asked Cangyun and Zhuque to wait while he went out.
After leaving the restaurant, Feng Beichuan immediately saw a group of people gathered around him, chattering excitedly. Looking further, he saw a woman trapped in the middle of them, unable to escape. A smile of pleasure appeared on Feng Beichuan's face.
Li Chang'an was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated by these people. He had only done something very ordinary, so why did they have to make such a big fuss?
Just because she had just saved the coachman from Bai Yuanshan, Li Chang'an's image in the hearts of these people instantly became glorious. A group of people surrounded her and kept praising her. Some people even brought up the rumors that had been circulating in the capital a while ago, and then everyone angrily cursed those who spread the rumors.
Thus, the rumors that had troubled him for so long were all disproven.
Li Chang'an sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She had already experienced what it meant for everyone to kick someone when they're down, and now she was experiencing what it meant for everyone to fawn over someone.
These people who can't distinguish right from wrong are easily swayed by their thoughts. I really don't know whether to say they are pitiful or pathetic.
"Your Highness, how have you been in the military camp all these years? Has it been very tough? Have you ever thought about leaving?"
Suddenly, someone stood up and asked Li Chang'an a question.
"Well, it was really tough at first, but I got used to it later. It's good to toughen yourself up..."
Unable to resist the expectant looks on the faces of those around him, Li Chang'an had no choice but to answer the questions honestly.
"You are, after all, a princess. You must be living a better life in the military camp than those soldiers, right?"
Then someone else stepped forward and asked a question out of curiosity.
"We are all the same. On the battlefield, we are comrades-in-arms who fight together. There is no distinction between men and women or between high and low status."
This is what Li Chang'an is most proud of, and it is what she believes she should do as a leader, and she has indeed done it.
This answer made the common people feel deep respect for their princess, and completely overturned all their previous negative views of Li Chang'an.
Their eldest princess is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also has no airs of a princess. She has also made outstanding military achievements, making her the undisputed guardian of their Sheng Nan Kingdom.
The men held Li Chang'an in high esteem, while the women silently regarded her as a role model they should learn from.
Who says women are inferior to men? Li Chang'an is the best proof.
Feng Beichuan stood silently at a distance, taking in everything. A touch of tenderness welled up in his heart, and his dark eyes gazed intently at the woman surrounded by the crowd, as if a single glance could last a lifetime.
She has always been like this, both in the past and now.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask how you manage to maintain such a good appearance while living a life of hardship in the military camp?"
At this moment, a young girl stepped forward, looking at Li Chang'an with starry eyes and admiration.
Judging from the woman's attire, she must be a young lady from a wealthy family.
Li Chang'an was speechless and chuckled at her question, not knowing how to answer it for a moment.
But the more this happened, the more curious everyone became about the question. Seeing that Li Chang'an didn't answer for a long time, several more women stood up and said that they also wanted to know Li Chang'an's secret to maintaining his youthful appearance.
Actually, it wasn't that Li Chang'an didn't want to answer this question, but rather that she genuinely didn't know how to answer it.
She really hadn't made any special effort to take care of her face. When she was in the military camp, she was busy training soldiers and studying tactics every day, so how could she have the time to focus on her face?
Moreover, Li Chang'an was very clear that the reason he was able to maintain this appearance was largely due to the system rewards he received while doing quick transmigration missions.
If it weren't for the rebirth reward and Jade Skin Pill given by the system, I probably wouldn't even be able to maintain my appearance now; I'd probably be a handful of ashes scattered somewhere long ago.
But she couldn't tell anyone these things. Not to mention whether others would believe her if she told them, even if they did, she would probably be seen as a monster. After all, she didn't originally belong to this world, and there were many things she couldn't explain.
"Your Highness, we are all women, so please just give us a hint, just a little bit, so that we can all learn from you!"
The girls' eyes were shining, their faces filled with eager anticipation, hoping they could become as beautiful and have as good skin as Li Chang'an.
"Well, I think the most important thing is mindset. If you're in a good mood, your complexion will naturally be better..."
Unable to refuse everyone's hospitality, Li Chang'an had no choice but to start spouting nonsense.
Even so, everyone pricked up their ears and listened intently, as if they were listening to the master's true words, and they were just short of taking notes with paper and pen.
"Besides these, is there anything else we need to be aware of? For example, do you have any special habits regarding your daily eating and drinking habits?"
When it comes to becoming more beautiful, these women are all incredibly diligent and eager to learn.
Li Chang'an felt somewhat helpless. She was annoyed by these people but couldn't lash out, so she had to rack her brains to figure out how to make up a story.
“I eat the same things as everyone else. In the military camp, I eat regular dry rations and drink vegetable soup. Occasionally, I’ll have some meat. Anyway, I’m not particular about these things.”
In the end, Li Chang'an still told the truth, but what she said was all beauty tips for those women. Some people even asked her what kind of dry food she ate and what kind of soup she drank.
Li Chang'an felt somewhat confused, but she still answered truthfully. In any case, she had already made her point, and whether these people believed her or would follow her advice was their own business.
