The soldiers were moved to tears, and many of them had not actually joined the army voluntarily.
However, military service is mandatory.
After all, who would willingly abandon their family to fight on the battlefield and risk their life?
They could only desperately try to survive on the battlefield, to fight for a future for themselves and their families.
The surviving soldiers were filled with emotion, for themselves and for their fallen comrades.
One moment they might be fighting alongside you, but the next they could be falling to the enemy's blade.
To die on the battlefield is nothing more than this.
Now that His Majesty is willing to give them some dignity, even those of them who are still alive are extremely relieved.
At least, there are no more worries.
There's no need to worry about dying on the battlefield while you fret about what will happen to your family.
No one objected to this, and instead, they sang praises and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
The Minister of Revenue is the only one who will suffer; she probably won't be able to keep the money in her pocket.
Nan Xiangrong hadn't expected His Majesty to think of these things, but she remembered that her initial goodwill stemmed from His Majesty's respect for the soldiers.
His Majesty is always so different from others, always thinking of others.
The celebration banquet finally came to a successful conclusion, and everyone was happy.
Both countries have just ended the war and need time to recuperate.
The Fifth Prince, on the other hand, wanted to leave the capital.
His wish had been fulfilled, and there was no point in staying here any longer; in fact, it only caused his father worry.
He also wanted to go out and see the scenery, lest he become confined to the inner quarters and narrow-minded.
He wanted to see scenery he had never seen in his previous life and walk roads he had never walked in his past life.
Wei Wangqing readily agreed.
She just felt that this fifth prince was really different. She remembered when she first met him after arriving in the capital, and he was like a completely different person.
When the Japanese officer learned of his son's idea, his first reaction was naturally to disagree.
How could he let his Yan'er go out alone?
How could he possibly let go? Chang Si had already left; he couldn't let Yan'er leave him too.
so……
"no."
“Father, I will only be a burden to you if I stay in the capital.”
"Yan'er, how could you say that? You will never be a burden to me!"
Wei Wuyan said sadly, "Father, just because you don't say it doesn't mean I really don't know what those people outside are saying about me."
He doesn't care, but that doesn't mean his father doesn't care either.
If he leaves, at least there will be less gossip.
The Japanese officer fell silent upon hearing this.
He simply couldn't ignore what people said about his Yan'er.
He was clearly not at fault, but those people always tend to blame men for the women's mistakes.
Even though divorce is a mutual decision, they only criticize the man.
Even though it was Wang Fengyue who died in bed, they would only point at the man and say, "Look, it was that man who failed to control his woman."
“Yan’er, your father…” the old lady said stiffly.
“Father, there’s no need to say any more. My mind is made up.”
"You... sigh." What else could he say? Parents can never win against their children.
"Be careful when you go out. Make sure you have enough men with you, and don't let anyone bully you."
"Father, rest assured, I'm already being kind by not bullying others, let alone letting others bully me," Wei Wuyan said with a smile.
The Japanese officer smiled upon hearing this, which lessened some of the sadness of parting.
However, I still had to give him some instructions: "Also, when you arrive at a new place, you must write to your father so that I know how you are doing and I can feel at ease."
"I will, Father. Don't worry, I'm all grown up now, I'm not a child anymore."
The Japanese officer finally couldn't hold back and shed two lines of tears.
In his eyes, Xiao Wu will always be a child.
"Yan'er, if you're tired, come home. Your father will always be here waiting for you."
"And your little eighth sister."
Wei Wuyan couldn't help but feel sad upon hearing this, knowing that his father would always be on his side.
"I will. After I leave, I'll have my eighth sister keep you company."
His decision back then was indeed the right one. With Xiao Ba around, at least his father wouldn't be too lonely.
The officer nodded.
In the end, I still can't bear to part with it.
On the day Wei Wuyan left the capital, looking back, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
He finally left this place that held countless joys and sorrows for him.
However, there were also people he cared about most and his home in this city.
So no matter how far he goes, he will eventually come back.
Actually, there was another reason for his departure this time, which he didn't tell his father.
That is to avoid Wang Fenglun.
The capital city is so small; it seems like he can run into her anywhere he goes.
They met more and more often, and their interactions became increasingly closer.
If this continues...
He was afraid that it would rise from the ashes.
But this simply won't work, they...
That's impossible.
No one will agree with them; everyone will despise them.
So he decided to avoid it.
Wei Wuyan seemed to have finally made a decision, and left without looking back.
When Wang Fenglun learned that the Fifth Prince had left the capital, he had already been gone for several days.
What followed was utter disbelief.
Why would he leave?
Does he really not want to see her?
Wang Fenglun was somewhat saddened.
Perhaps she needs to take some time to reflect.
Water chestnuts float on the green pond, duckweed floats on the water, and summer orioles sing a thousand songs among the roses.
