Jun Zechen's stay in the frontier this time exceeded his original expectations.
In his previous life, he returned to the capital after repelling the barbarians, but in this life, he was ready to completely solve the problem of barbarian invasion.
The monarchy deploys a large number of troops outside the Great Wall every year. If the barbarians can be successfully dealt with, most of the soldiers who have been resisting the enemy outside the Great Wall will be able to return to the court, and the soldiers will be able to return in turn every year thereafter.
In order to deal with these problems, Jun Zechen often went to the border between the Jun Kingdom and the barbarian territory for inspection.
Because of this, I would run into Ling Yue from time to time.
However, Ling Yue did deliberately avoid him as he requested, staying very far away from him, but still within his sight.
Jun Zechen usually turns a blind eye.
In his previous life, Jun Zechen had guessed that Ling Yue had ulterior motives in approaching him.
When he was young, he yearned for all pure things, but later on, he was able to understand that he himself was the biggest inducement to other people's desires.
Because he represents the highest power of the monarchy.
Ling Yue approached him because of his identity and disguised herself, simply because she wanted power.
After Jun Zechen figured it out, he felt nothing in his heart because he didn't care.
No one is without desires.
His liking for Ling Yue in his youth was solely due to her innocence and unrestrained nature. When she lost her only advantage, Jun Zechen not only stopped liking her, but even his guilt disappeared.
Yaoyao also initially disguised herself to get him to open up, but it seemed very different.
The more he understood her, the more he depended on her. His joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were completely controlled by her, and even Jun Zechen himself could not control it.
(Complaint: Brother Chen is fine. Some people in the God's Perspective were also deceived by Yaoyao and shed tears. You are not the only one.)
Recently, Jun Zechen has been able to see Ling Yue from time to time, which has made him more certain of his previous guess.
Ling Yue really approached him with a purpose.
Perhaps it is true that he longs for the freedom outside the Great Wall, but it is also true that he is obsessed with the hustle and bustle and power of the capital.
Ling Yue clearly noticed that the prince had noticed her, but every time he ignored her completely as if he didn't see her.
She couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Is the prince really as averse to women as the rumors say?
Today was the fifth time she had come here to try to meet the prince, but he was as stony as a rock and remained motionless.
Ling Yue was filled with helplessness. He raised the whip in his hand, swung it hard, and rode away.
When she returned home, General Ling happened to be there.
Because the prince came to the frontier to deploy troops, it became much easier to attack the barbarians. In the short term, the barbarians did not dare to invade again.
"Where did you go?"
General Ling asked in a deep voice when he saw his daughter returning.
"Out riding."
Ling Yue answered in a muffled voice, with a hint of stubbornness in her expression.
General Ling frowned.
"I know you've been asking about the prince recently, but the prince is not someone you can reach."
He was originally a bastard son of the Ling family, and Xiaoyue grew up in the frontier, in places like the imperial palace. Even if Xiaoyue wanted to be the prince's concubine, His Majesty and the Queen might not agree.
"Daddy, I just want to give it a try. If I haven't tried hard, how can I know I can't get it?"
Ling Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with stubbornness.
"The Crown Prince should have returned to the capital long ago, but he has been studying the terrain outside the Great Wall in order to prevent the next barbarian invasion."
General Ling admired the prince from the bottom of his heart. He was a strategic thinker, had a far-sighted vision, and was resourceful.
"The Crown Prince is currently focused on military affairs and has not paid attention to his children's personal affairs. All of your efforts are in vain."
"The prince will return to the capital in three months at the latest."
Ling Yue was surprised for a moment. He was going back to the capital, so she would never have another chance...
"I'm not unaware that you've been running into the Crown Prince from time to time these past few months. Since nothing's been working out, you should just give up and find an honest man outside the Great Wall to marry and have children with."
General Ling's face was solemn, his eyes full of concern.
After a pause, he slowly said, "Although your father has a low status in the capital, he is also a general in the frontier. I will not let you suffer after marriage."
General Ling sighed deeply, feeling mixed emotions.
Knowing that his daughter was trying to get close to a rich and powerful man, he was not without a trace of emotion.
He was born a bastard, and it would be difficult for him to cross the social ladder in his life, let alone give his daughter the wealth and glory she longed for.
If his daughter could win the favor of the prince on her own and even marry into the royal family, General Ling would naturally be happy to see it.
However, he had seen all of his daughter's efforts over the past few months, but the prince remained indifferent. There was no need to continue.
The prince's noble status is definitely not something they can reach.
If you cause the prince to be disgusted, it will be more harm than good.
Ling Yue slowly lowered her head, "Okay..."
She just wasn't willing to accept the fact that she was bullied by the Ling family when she was a child. She always wanted to make those Ling family members who looked down on her regret it.
But as a woman, she had limited abilities and could only find ways to get close to a powerful man.
But now, the prince was extremely indifferent to her, and she could even clearly feel the disgust in his eyes.
She doesn't attract him at all...
Capital city.
Before we knew it, nearly two years had passed since Jun Zechen went on the expedition to the frontier, and Su Jingyao was now thirteen years old.
Over the past year or so, I have managed to maintain a pretty good relationship with the young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital.
Chu Yinxue was the one who was most attached to her, and she would always be with her at every banquet.
