"Sister, please agree to my request. I will definitely protect my own safety and will not let you down."
Yan Fu led the army in person and actually ordered a boy who was only eleven years old to be the captain of the shooting sound for this battle. Although the ministers disagreed, they had no choice but to do what the emperor wanted since he was so determined to promote the Hua family. After all, he was just a captain of the shooting sound, so they couldn't disobey the emperor's will.
But Qiao Yu was different. The one going to fight on the battlefield and possibly die was her own brother, and it was also Mission 3. How could she agree?
"Even if the Huafu can't count on our scoundrel father, at worst, we still have our legitimate sister to support us. When will it be your turn to be a hero? This must be the emperor's intention, right? I'm going right away..."
Having said that, Qiao Yu planned to get up and go downstairs to find Yan Fu. No matter what, she would not let her precious baby take any risks.
Seeing this, Hua Bosheng no longer cared about the difference between the emperor and his subjects, and hurriedly stopped his elder sister:
"This was not the emperor's idea. It was Bosheng who asked the emperor to allow me to go."
"Don't even think about it! If I let you take the risk, Hua Bosheng would be worse off than tearing out the apple of your sister's eye. Ahem."
As soon as Qiao Yu got excited and became weak, he started coughing immediately, as if he would not stop until he coughed out his heart and lungs.
How could Hua Bosheng dare to refute her? He could only delay his response:
"It's all my fault. My elder sister Mo Yingbosheng has harmed her body. Can you please think about it again, Rongbosheng?"
Qiao Yu also knew that this adopted brother of his was a stubborn person. The fact that he took a step back showed that he had listened to what he said, so he did not press him any further.
At lunchtime, Qiao Yu didn't ask Hua Bosheng to have a simple meal. In the past, she would not have been stingy with the meal, but today was different.
Hua Bosheng didn't think much about it, just thought that he had annoyed his elder sister:
"Then I will take my leave first. Sister, please rest well. Mo Yingbosheng's matter is too worrying."
Seeing that her master was in a bad mood, Zhu Er stepped forward and asked tentatively:
"Is your Majesty ready to prepare the meal? Today the imperial chef has prepared your favorite candied lotus root."
Qiao Yu just glanced at the dish twice, looked away with a gloomy expression, and waved his hand weakly, apparently not planning to have lunch.
Zhu'er knew that her young lady would not eat well when she was in a bad mood. The one who made her mistress in a bad mood right now was none other than the Prince Huihui, whom her mistress cared about the most. The young lady was reluctant to anger the Prince, nor could she anger the Emperor, so she could only anger herself.
There was no other way, so Zhu'er could only send someone to invite the emperor, but before she could send anyone, Yan Fu arrived first:
"Long live the emperor."
Yan Fu came in and saw the servants bringing in the meal, and his brows furrowed unconsciously:
"Has the imperial concubine not eaten yet?"
The servants who were being questioned nodded in fear, fearing that the emperor would punish them for not taking good care of them. Fortunately, Yan Fu remembered that Qiao Yu did not like him to embarrass the people in her palace:
"Bring it down, and have the small kitchen prepare some of the concubine's favorite dishes and keep them warm."
"promise."
On normal days, Yan Fu would have personally brought the food in and coaxed the little ancestor to eat, but now the other party didn't even want to look at him.
Thinking of this, Yan Fu sighed helplessly and walked forward.
After the morning court session, Yan Fu received news that Prince Huihui had come to the palace to pay his respects. Presumably, he wanted to explain to Lan'er about accompanying him on the expedition, but he knew that no one could persuade Lan'er if she became stubborn, so he simply came in person.
Zhu'er was about to salute when she saw Yan Fu making a gesture for her to be quiet. Zhu'er immediately understood his intention. Although the young lady had requested not to see the emperor, now only the emperor could convince the young lady.
Yan Fu was about to knock on the door, but the woman's cold expression emerged in his mind. His outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and finally he retracted it.
Yu Yuanting, who had a keen eye, immediately waved to all the servants and asked them to follow him down. After all, the emperor and the concubine were in conflict, and the content of the conflict was not something that servants like them could listen to.
"Lan'er, although it was Prince Huihui who suggested accompanying the emperor on the expedition, my opinion is the same as his."
He was met with silence, and Yan Fu continued to speak:
"The Xue family... I can't stay. Duke Hua is a scoundrel. Lan'er, whether it's you, Hui Hui, or even the Hua family, needs a truly powerful support."
Qiao Yu in the room curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically, not at all moved by the man's consideration for her.
The Xue family, whose achievements surpass their master's, cannot stay, but Hui Hui, who will grow up and have military merits, can stay?
However, Yan Fu was sincere in explaining it to him so frankly.
"I can protect you for the rest of your life, and bring glory to the Xu Hua family. But Hui Hui is a man, he can't and doesn't need my protection. He definitely doesn't want my charity."
It was precisely because of this that Qiao Yu did not take the initiative to find Yan Fu and ask him to revoke his order. Although the imperial decree did not say that it could be revoked at will, Yan Fu would agree if he went to ask him because of his guilt towards him.
But Hua Bosheng is an independent person. Although Qiao Yu does everything for the mission, Hua Yunlan wants Hua Bosheng to be safe every year, so how can she just live in peace?
Moreover, letting Hua Bosheng accompany Yan Fu to the battlefield is not entirely without benefits. It can make Yan Fu, who is far away on the battlefield outside the border, feel at ease.
She was assured that she would not collude with Yan Qu in the capital, and if Hua Bosheng really did something, it would also help her future plans, but it was always a gamble that swords had no eyes.
Just when Yan Fu thought he couldn't persuade Qiao Yu, a voice finally rang out from inside the house:
"Your Majesty must return victorious and safe. I beg you to look after Bosheng instead of this useless sister of mine."
"Lan'er..."
Instantly, Yan Fu's heart felt like it was being kneaded by something, softening into a pool of spring water. He didn't know what Qiao Yu was really thinking, but he just thought that she was still concerned about him.
