Several days passed as letters went back and forth between the two sides.
Yan Shiyue received the letter and felt relieved, knowing that his father's temper was finally over.
Then she wrote him back.
Maybe it was because she was skilled and courageous? Anyway, she had mastered the skill of reading and writing in the carriage without getting dizzy.
After finishing writing, I also attached the Q-version landscape paintings I had drawn along the way, which I had prepared long ago as a killer way to please others.
This is the scenery she painted along the way. The weather in April was neither too cold nor too hot, with spring flowers blooming everywhere and the scenery was picturesque. She painted wherever she went, and she was very careful, as she painted four people in each painting.
She, Emperor Ming Yan, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort.
Although none of the four people mentioned their names, they looked similar and one could recognize who they were at a glance. The way they got along was like three generations of a family, which was cute and warm.
This idea came to her mind when she was painting Deshan Garden for the Empress Dowager. She thought that it was inconvenient for the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort to travel around, so if she painted the scenery she saw, it would be like they were also there.
He pleased the three big guys at once and made his presence felt. Even Wei Bo couldn't help but say that this move was really awesome: "If Your Highness were a man, he would have many wives and concubines."
...
...
Yan·Fang Xin Zong·Huo Fan·Shi Yue said reservedly: "Not only at home, a handsome man like me must have a red flag flying at home and colorful flags flying outside."
Wei Bo: “…”
Although we occasionally talked and laughed in the car, as soon as we approached Xuzhou, we clearly felt the changes brought about by the war.
Everywhere there were people walking in a hurry with panicked looks on their faces. Many shops had only half their doors open, and there were also many convoys of cars hurrying out, obviously carrying their families and wanting to temporarily avoid the crowd.
Yan Shiyue had no intention of taking a ride, so she just rode her little Arabian horse and traveled day and night.
Seeing that they were still about two days' journey away from Xiao'anlan Pass, Yan Shiyue had just started on the road in the morning when he suddenly felt his feet trip. The horse rose up and leaped out, but he heard a muffled groan in his ears.
Yan Shiyue hurriedly reined in the horse.
The personal guards and Jiahe and several others quickly surrounded them.
When Yan Shiyue looked back, he saw that the person the horse had tripped over was actually a person. For some reason, he was lying on the road and was slowly getting up.
The guards stepped forward and asked, "Who is it?"
The man's face was covered in dust and his features could not be seen. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to answer, but he just staggered and then fainted.
Several people looked at each other and decided that they couldn't just abandon the man and walk away, so they temporarily dragged him up and put him on the carriage. After traveling for a while, they saw a clinic and sent him in for a check-up. It turned out that he had already suffered an external injury and had a fever, and then he was tripped by Yan Shiyue and had a rib broken.
Yan Shiyue really felt a little sorry.
Her riding skills were just fancy stuff, and although it was unintentional, she did hurt him.
Yan Shiyue quickly asked Wei Bo to pay the money. He originally wanted to entrust this man to the clinic, but the man woke up at some point and asked solemnly, "Are you going to Anlan Pass?"
Wei Bo evaded the question and said, "The silver left behind is enough to heal your wounds, and the rest is to make amends."
The man asked quickly, "Are you going to Anlan Pass?"
He struggled to kneel down: "Please take me with you! I am Wei Shen, my younger brother Wei Min is in the army of Anlan Pass. I heard about the large-scale attack on the border and wanted to go and see it. Who knew that something went wrong on the way... Please take me with you!"
Zhou Zhan was indeed Yan Chengyuan's personal soldier, and he had Yan Chengyuan's style of not recognizing any relatives. He said, "It is not convenient for us to bring outsiders. Lord Wei can go by himself after you have healed your wounds."
He waved his hand: "Go!"
Wei Shen didn't say anything else. He just knelt there silently and watched them leave.
After another day of walking, we finally arrived at Anlan Pass.
The commander of Xiao'anlan Pass is Guo Yang, the Duke of Dai, who is also a powerful veteran, but now he is almost 60 years old. The deputy commander is Yan Shiwei, who was born in the Prince An's Mansion, but he is not old enough to support a side.
The group was just about to reach Anlan Pass when they saw a group of people galloping towards them from afar, waving the Anlan Pass flag, obviously coming to greet them.
Yan Chengyuan and his group paused for a moment and waited. Those people quickly came up to them. The first person dismounted and saluted: "I am Huo Qijing, the last general, on the orders of General Yan, to come and greet the military supervisor."
Yan Shiyue took a breath in a very useless way.
There was only one thing in her mind... Mom, my A Jing is cooked! It's time to eat it!!
In the sunlight, Huo Qijing was dressed in armor, looking tall and straight. Although they had not seen each other for only a few months, it seemed as if they had not seen each other for several years.
All the youthfulness of a young man has faded from his face. His eyebrows are weathered, his expression is cold, steady, resolute, domineering and powerful, and he exudes an overwhelming sense of tough guy. He is so handsome!
At that moment, all her worries along the way turned into infatuation!
My little Ajing... no, my big Ajing, did you secretly supplement your hormones?
Yan Chengyuan knew that this was his future son-in-law, but he didn't have any extra expression or words, he just nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
Huo Qijing then turned towards Yan Shiyue.
Most people would probably choose to step forward and salute, as this is the "rule" between the ruler and his subjects.
A small number of people may choose not to look at what is inappropriate, which is based on the "etiquette" between couples who have not yet married.
But Huo Qijing is neither.
He just looked at her calmly, and when he met her shining eyes, he nodded slightly with a smile in his eyes, then followed Yan Chengyuan's order to "lead the way", turned around, mounted his horse, and went ahead.
After entering the military camp, Yan Chengyuan went to see the Duke of Dai himself, and Yan Shiyue was led to where the military families lived.
Along the way, I met many soldiers.
Some of them lit up their eyes when they saw her, and their eyes were like those of a hungry wolf. Some of them, probably because they saw her different status, backed off, and some even showed a little disdain.
No matter what, having a female relative come during a war is like having the word "adding trouble" written on your forehead, and no one will welcome it.
Yan Shiyue remained calm and just walked past.
A small courtyard was prepared for her. It was not very exquisite, but it was obviously much better than others.
The families of the Duke of Dai and several generals lived nearby.
However, in order to restrict military power, military generals would always leave their families in the capital when they went to war, so most of the people here were concubines or even maids. Logically speaking, women of higher rank did not need to be summoned.
But when the concubine of Duke Dai brought people to ask for an audience, Yan Shiyue met him immediately.
Although she was young, she was a royal princess and extremely favored by the emperor. She was a hot figure in the capital, let alone at the border, where all these people were trembling with fear.
But the advantage of being a superior is that it is very easy to win people's hearts. In a short while, she had a pleasant conversation with these people and quickly understood the current situation.
It is said that Huo Qijing made a contribution this time.
Because over the years, Xiao'anlan Pass has been peaceful and everyone usually just trains and conducts routine inspections.
One day, when Huo Qijing was out on patrol with his men, he first discovered something unusual and then reported it to Yan Shiwei. Yan Shiwei sent people to investigate and found that there was something unusual going on with Da Xi.
Yan's army attacked quickly, and although it caught them off guard, the other side had been planning for many days, and they were not seriously injured after the battle. In the past few days, there have been constant battles of both large and small sizes.
