Inside the Qionghua Palace:
Lu Qingyuan sat on the couch, her eyes dull and red, obviously she had just cried.
Baozi, the personal maid, comforted her gently, "Princess, don't be sad. The Queen Mother only asked you to choose a husband, not to grant a marriage. This matter can still be discussed."
"My Queen Mother didn't want me to marry Shen Jiayan, and Shen Jiayan has been avoiding me. Now it seems that it was all my wishful thinking and stubborn persistence."
Lu Qingyuan's voice was cold, and she couldn't stop crying as she spoke.
"Princess," Baozi quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Lu Qingyuan's tears: "General Shen doesn't love you, but he doesn't dare."
"He dared to capture Urna alive single-handedly, so why doesn't he dare to come and ask for my hand in marriage?"
Urna is the leader of the Northern Wilderness.
He once led the barbarians in the northern wilderness to attack the border many times, and captured five cities in a row, causing the people to be displaced and suffer terribly.
When General Shen fought with Urna in the border area, he injured his legs and could no longer stand or walk.
When the army's morale was shaken, Shen Jiayan stood up.
He used all his strategies and took all the risks, and led 20,000 elite troops to force back Urna's 100,000-strong army.
Later, he even broke into the enemy camp alone, killed many leaders, and captured Urna alive.
Thus, the city was taken back, Beihuang admitted defeat, and Urna surrendered.
Shen Jiayan also became famous in one battle and was promoted to major general.
Why doesn't such a brave man dare to propose to her?
We had clearly agreed when we were young that I would marry her with three letters, six betrothals, and a sedan chair and a fine horse...
Baozi sighed softly: "General Shen looked at you with reluctance, admiration, and forbearance. He was just afraid that he would be trapped on the battlefield and unable to protect you for the rest of his life."
Lu Qingyuan didn't say anything, but her tears couldn't stop.
Baozi didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.
She brought the grapes from the table over and said, "Don't be sad, Princess. These grapes are sweet and sour and juicy. Please try them."
After saying that, she put down the plate, picked up a grape, peeled it and handed it to Lu Qingyuan's mouth.
Lu Qingyuan opened her mouth and the grape flesh slid into her mouth. The perfect sour and sweet taste surprised her: "This grape tastes so good!"
My mood instantly improved.
Baozi smiled and said, "It was delivered this morning, so it's fresh. If you like it, eat more!"
Lu Qingyuan shook her head: "No, I won't eat it anymore. Find a basket to put these grapes in, and let's go to Yongle Palace."
//
When Lu Qingyuan arrived at Yongle Palace, Shen Mingyue and Lu Hongxuan were competing in the courtyard.
Shen Mingyue held a long sword and Lu Hongxuan held a long spear.
The two men had firm eyes and their hands moved cleanly and neatly.
You attack, I block; I attack, you dodge...
After several rounds, Shen Mingyue was finally one step faster. She flipped sideways, held the hilt of the sword upside down, and pressed it against Lu Hongxuan's throat.
It flows smoothly and is completed in one go.
"Mother, you really don't give in to me at all!"
Lu Hongxuan dragged his voice and muttered in frustration.
Shen Mingyue stood up and smiled softly: "Who will give in to you on the battlefield? Practice more when you have time."
She threw the sword in her hand to Qiu He who was standing beside her and said, "Your eldest uncle was able to kill a black bear with his bare hands when he was seven years old. Although your second uncle is a little bit stupid, he was able to draw a bow at the age of seven and hit the target nine times out of ten."
When Lu Hongxuan heard this, he rubbed his hands and became interested: "When my uncles come back, I will definitely ask them for advice!"
"There are few people in this world as capable as your uncle. But the disciple is better than the master. If you are willing to learn, you may be even more powerful than your uncle in the future."
Lu Qingyuan said as she walked over.
"Aunt." Lu Hongxuan clasped his hands together and saluted Lu Qingyuan.
Lu Qingyuan raised the basket in her hand and said, "I brought some grapes here to quench your thirst."
Shen Mingyue said politely: "Thank you for thinking of us. Please come in and sit down."
Lu Qingyuan pretended to be aggrieved: "Sisiao-in-law, when did you become so distant from me? Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"
Shen Mingyue was too lazy to talk nonsense with her: "Why are you still acting? There are so many dramas."
Lu Qingyuan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
She walked over quickly, took Shen Mingyue's hand, and shook it coquettishly: "I heard that sister-in-law adopted a child? I came to see her and chat with her for a few private words."
"Qiqi is still sleeping. I'm afraid she hasn't woken up yet. But you can have lunch here. The kitchen made braised chicken wings and shrimp and tofu soup today."
"It seems my sister-in-law and I are really in tune with each other. She knew I was coming, and the food she prepared is all my favorite!"
"I also made puff pastry, it tastes delicious, you can try it."
"Then I'm in for a treat!"
The two women went into the house, talking and laughing.
Watching the two of them leave, Lu Hongxuan helplessly spread his hands and muttered softly: "Aunt is here to see Qiqi too? Why are so many people thinking about our Qiqi?"
Perhaps feeling Lu Qingyuan's concern, Su Qiqi woke up after a short while.
Hongye dressed her and carried her out.
Now she is half a year old, her little face is becoming more round and cute, and her eyes are full of spirit.
Lu Qingyuan looked at the tiny baby and felt her heart melt: "This baby is so cute! Even cuter than Hongxuan when he was a child!"
Lu Hongxuan, who was standing aside, was not angry at all. Instead, he was very proud: "Qiqi is my sister. As the saying goes, the disciple is better than the master. Of course, she is prettier than me!"
[The disciple surpasses the master... Can this be used in this way? ]
I don’t understand. I really don’t understand.
[By the way, this person before me is the famous Princess Lu Qingyuan? ]
