Chapter 52: The Emperor Grants Marriage, What an Honor
One of the dark-faced men cursed and laughed.
"Liu San, do you think a soldier like you can order the boss lady around? If the general finds out, he will make you run drills around the tent."
Liu San glared and said, "I came to support Yu Niang's business. This is also the general's intention. How can the general blame me?"
Ji Qingwu took a closer look.
Several of them were dressed like soldiers, wearing black cross-collared long gowns, narrow trousers, bandages on their legs, and full-length boots on their feet.
Although he was not wearing leather armor, his sturdy body showed that he was a soldier.
Which general are they talking about?
It seems that this general and the proprietress have a close relationship.
Yu Niang was teased by them, but she was not annoyed. She smiled and said, "I haven't seen you all for a long time. I am grateful to you for coming to take care of the business."
Liu San winked and said, "General Yuchi has been busy with military affairs and training recently, so we also took some time to come here."
General Yuchi? The only general with this surname in the army is...
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows.
She looked at Yu Niang carefully. She had a beautiful face, delicate skin, and a charming smile. She was a pretty girl who was very popular with men.
After throwing a bunch of money on the table, Ji Qingwu got up and left.
After returning home, after some thought, he wrote a letter to the eldest princess to remind her to pay attention.
After all, today the princess had asked her how to get pregnant as soon as possible. If she waited until she was pregnant to learn about this...
Wouldn't that be heartbreaking?

Yuchi Lianping was busy for several days and stayed up late for several nights, and finally found time to return to the princess's mansion.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Princess Huachang sitting in front of the dressing table. Her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was as white as snow, and she still looked like an immortal.
Suddenly, all the fatigue in my body dissipated a lot.
However, Princess Huachang was holding a piece of letter paper in her hand, and her whole body seemed to be frozen in place.
He walked up to her, but she didn't even raise her head, let alone look at him.
I don’t know what she was thinking, she was so serious, Yuchi Lianping reached out to touch her chin.
He was slapped away mercilessly and forcefully.
Princess Huachang glanced at him.
This glance made Yuchi Lianping stand there in a daze.
It had been a long time since she had looked so disgusted.
It was so long that he had forgotten the fact that Zhao Tianhua, who was of noble birth, looked down on a rough man like him.
Princess Huachang's voice was cold: "Don't touch me with your dirty hands."
Yuchi Lianping curled his lips and said to her sarcastically, "I have touched every part of your body. Now you think it's dirty, isn't it a little too late?"
"Stay away from me."
Princess Huachang took a deep breath politely and didn't want to talk to him.
Yuchi Lianping subconsciously grabbed the front of his military uniform and bent down to smell it.
He had been in the military camp full of grown men these days and didn't notice any strange smell on his body. But as soon as he entered the fragrant room of the princess's mansion, he began to smell a bit of sweat.
"Yes, yes, Princess, you love cleanliness. I will go wash it right away."
Yuchi Lianping thought that Princess Huachang was unhappy about this matter, so he took off his crimson robe and went to the clean room to take a bath.
The princess spoke again in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to go."
"Then I won't wash it?"
Yuchi Lianping stepped back and asked her with a smile.
Princess Huachang raised her eyes, stared at him and said, "You are not allowed to enter my room anymore."
Yuchi Lianping frowned and said in disbelief, "It's my wife's room, why can't I enter?"
Princess Huachang crumpled the letter in her hand and said firmly, "Because I don't want to, and I don't want to be in the same room with you."
Yuchi Lianping clenched his fists. Which husband could tolerate being spoken to like that by his wife?
They got married out of necessity.
At that time, she was the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, and he was just a cavalry captain, so he was marrying up.
But based on his current military achievements, isn't he still worthy of her? !
Even if it was an ice cube, it would have melted after six years.
Yuchi Lianping was so angry that his chest heaved and his face turned ashen, as if he was about to go berserk at any moment.
Seeing his expression, Princess Huachang felt a little regretful. She should not have driven all the maids out. She should have kept a few of them to help her.
But how could a few women with thin arms and legs stop the angry general?
Princess Huachang gently picked up the golden hairpin on the dressing table with her other hand.
Yuchi Lianping didn't know what he was thinking, but as he thought about it, he calmed down.
He left a message: "Forget it, I will go to the clean room outside to wash."
Then, he opened the curtain and went out.
Seeing his tall figure leave, Princess Huachang loosened her hands, and there was a little sweat on the letter paper.
She folded the letter and put it back in the dressing box.
Yuchi Lianping was in the bathroom next door, with his legs apart, washing his body vigorously. One good thing about him was that he was good at self-comfort.
He is now a general of the first rank, and the eldest princess is of the first rank.
From the perspective of rank, there is still a level lower than her. He is indeed not worthy of her, and her attitude is understandable.
When he becomes the governor-general of the highest rank, we will see how he restores his power as a husband.
Also, I have kept the sparkling ice cube in my heart for so many years, so I don’t mind keeping it for a little longer.
He has a warm body and is not afraid of the cold, so keep him warm!

A few days later.
Ji Mansion, Wutong Garden.
Before this, Qiao had people find many medicinal herbs. Some of them grew fast and had already formed seeds. Lanzhi was accompanying Ji Qingwu at home to dry the herbs.
Chunhua walked into the courtyard in small steps and said, "Fifth Miss, the eldest lady asks you to go to the front yard."
Ji Qingwu put down the basket in his hand, and Lanzhi took a basin of clean water. She asked while washing her hands.
"Mother knows I'm drying herbs, but what's the matter?"
Chunhua said: "The eldest son returned home after the court session and seemed to have brought some news."
What news from the court could be related to her?
Ji Qingwu felt puzzled. She dried her hands and went to Anjuyuan. Ji Changlin was sitting in the house, talking to Qiao.
"Brother."
Ji Qingwu hadn't seen his elder brother for a while. He had been on a diplomatic mission to Southern Chu a while ago. He had just returned at night and went to the morning court to report.
Ji Changlin threw something to her and she quickly reached out to catch it. It felt heavy in her hand.
Qiao asked, "What is this?"
Ji Changlin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I brought some new things for my fifth sister to make her happy."
Even though he was not at home, he knew about Li Chengxun's affairs, and just now he blamed his grandmother and Mrs. Qiao for not being able to judge people well.
Qiao said, "You went to Nanchu for state affairs, and you still have time to collect some small things for Xiaowu."
Ji Qingwu opened the flowered cloth bag, which was filled with glass balls of various colors. The colors were clear and gorgeous, and looked very beautiful under the light.
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing her holding it in her hand and unable to let it go, Ji Changlin's smile became even more pronounced.
Qiao continued, "Changlin, tell Xiaowu about what's going on in the court."
Ji Changlin stopped laughing and said calmly, "The palace examination was held this morning, and Li Chengxun was chosen as the top scholar."
Ji Qingwu was not surprised.
Her grandfather and uncle both said that Li Chengxun was full of knowledge and had the talent to be the top scholar, which showed that they were not wrong.
Ji Changlin looked at his fifth sister's expression, frowned, and continued, "His Majesty also issued an edict to grant a marriage between Princess Qingyun and the new number one scholar."
It is such an honor for the emperor to grant me a marriage.
A man from a poor family became a member of the royal family by marrying a princess.
The glass ball in Ji Qingwu's hand fell to the ground and rolled to the door.
Ji Changlin said, "Tomorrow, the top three winners will go on a parade after thanking the emperor in court. After that, the palace will hold a Luming Banquet to entertain the ministers, and the women of each family will also go."
Qiao advised worriedly.
"Xiao Wu, why don't you just claim to be sick and not go tomorrow?"
