Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C201
Shen Qing slowly said, “I owe Bi Zhenye a favor. It happened when he was young, but he doesn’t seem to remember it anymore. Naturally, apart from this, we have no other interactions. ”
Siyan said: “I’m afraid that I cannot support such a huge favor with regards to what happened when I was young. Little Qing, there is actually another reason behind this matter, there is no harm in telling you, but I hope you won’t tell Bi Zhenye, because no one knows what the result will be. ”
Outside the Imperial City, Bi Zhenye stood in the cold wind. The bone-piercing cold wind blew into his neck, causing him to be exceptionally clear-headed.
He had been raised to live like a prince. In the winter, he had a charcoal stove to go with him, and in the summer, the servants with umbrellas and fans came and went. He had never suffered a single bit.
His memories suddenly drifted back to a very, very long time ago. He vaguely remembered one year when he was a child, in the late afternoon of the same year. He had accompanied his father and mother to the palace for a banquet, but somehow, he was tricked into going to the imperial garden and becoming the target of someone else’s snowball fight.
On that day, when the cold snow had crawled down his neck, he was shivering from the cold. When the Palace Maid servants came to look for someone, and the children dispersed, he was drenched all over and almost wet his pants in fear.
He remembered seeing a girl by the roadside when he was being taken away by the court, and it was the girl who had tricked him into going to the royal garden.
The cold that day was much colder than the cold wind at that moment. Bi Zhenye shook his head and laughed.
At this moment, the palace door opened, and Palace Maid s clustered around Shen Qing as they walked over. The servants of the Duke Palaces immediately went up to welcome them, but she ordered everyone to withdraw, and walked straight towards Bi Zhenye.
Bi Zhenye was in a daze as he watched the elegant and gentle girl walk towards him. He remembered that the person who had tricked him into being a snow target back then seemed to be the Princess.
Shen Qing bowed slightly, and immediately saluted with her hands folded in front, only to hear her say: “I have tried my best with regards to Miss, I am extremely sorry, but it is not possible to disobey Imperial decree. “But there’s still some time before we get married. Young master Bi, let’s think of a way.”
Bi Zhenye was not disappointed, he had already forced his into a corner. He had only met Princess a few times, yet he had actually begged her to do such a difficult thing, or maybe… Bi Zhenye looked at Princess. Could it be that he just wanted to meet her?
In the palace, Shen Qing had only just left when the emperor came back from the Qingming Pavilion. She was originally just taking a break to play with her daughter.
After knowing that his cousin had come over, and hearing Siyan had explained her intentions for coming here, Xiang Run laughed: “Little Little Qing is the most kind-hearted and obedient girl, extremely similar to Second Sister. How could a girl like this harm others so much that she would become a target for others?”
Siyan laughed and asked, “At that time, why didn’t you remember about it when the Emperor was the same age?”
Xiang Run said: “When I was young, I was a bookworm. All I ever did was study.
Siyan shook her head. “Your Majesty’s life is truly boring.”
Xiang Run disapprovingly said: “This year, when it snows, you’ll accompany me to have a snowball fight?”
The empress knew in her heart that if they fought with Xiluo, they would definitely not be able to rest during the winter. Furthermore, they would be leaving very soon, and it was very likely that they would start a war right by the seaside.
For the first time in his life, the Emperor went to war with no chance of winning. However, this was in the Daqi, if one could not defeat those bandits that had landed here, the surrounding countries would definitely rejoice in the misfortune of others, and be ready to take action.
He had to win this battle no matter what.
The days passed one by one as Dong Ri’s footsteps grew more hurried. His Daqi stretched across a vast area and the northernmost area had already been covered with snow.
Finally, after ten days, they arrived at the coastal area. The weather here was warm and humid, and when Xiaowan went out, he even brought some winter clothes along with him.
General Wei brought his men to the ship to pick up the islanders. It was extremely difficult to persuade them to abandon their homestead fields and leave the island they were dependent on. However, once Xiluo attacked and occupied the island, they would turn into slaves, or even tainted women.
Wei Tengfei saw that he did not listen to his advice, and in the next few days he had been using force.
It was the first time for Xiaowan to see the sea in her life. She stepped on the soft sand with her bare feet, and the ocean waves pounced towards her ankles. She chased after the waves and ran, but was also chased by the waves.
Ling Chaofeng laughed: “Look at the sun, it’s tanned carefully.”
Xiaowan quivered and quickly covered her face. Although her family owned a “black shop”, she could not become a black woman.
She was so happy, but in reality, the beach had already been cordoned off. There were no signs of life, and all the fishermen had been ordered to go inland.
However, the shore was long, so where would the end come from? Ling Chaofeng sighed softly.
Such a peaceful and beautiful beach, once war broke out, would become a hell of slaughter.
On this evening, the ship that had departed finally returned. The ocean was even vaster than Xiaowan had imagined, and they had obviously seen the ship coming, but they had waited for a long time and had only gotten a little closer.
Seeing that the yellow sun was about to sink into the ocean, General Wei’s boat finally docked.
It was just that the people that the Xiaowan saw, had separated for less than a month, had darkened, thinned out, and even if they were dark, it was possible to tell that their expressions were not good. After seeing them, she concernedly asked: “General, are you tired?”
Wei Tengfei laughed bitterly: “I train in Chuanyu, and am a hundred times more tired than here. “I have been doing well these few days. On the first day, before I even got to the island, I vomited until my legs were weak. It was so embarrassing.”
Xiaowan realized that the people who disembarked from the boat were all walking in a strange manner. She understood this feeling;
On the other hand, the islanders who were brought back walked steadily. They were used to using the sea as their home, while the soldiers warmly supported them and carried their children’s luggage.
The soldiers were amazing. The people only knew that the Supreme Emperor loved war, but they didn’t know how strong his army was to defend the country.
After returning to the camp, Xiaowan went to the kitchen to help prepare a hearty meal for the general. Although returning home this time was short, she still learned how to cook from Uncle Biao every day. She only thought about going out with her husband in the future and how she could cook good food for him.
However, the army’s kitchen was a very important place, and people with nothing to do were not allowed to enter easily. Since Xiaowan was already familiar with the place along with the group, she was able to help them.
Some of the people who did not know Xiaowan looked at her curiously. When the Xiaowan heard them talking, she thought it was the general’s wife and laughed: “The general has a wife, the sun is about to rise from the west.”
Xiaowan laughed. She also didn’t understand, why would such a great hero like General Wei, with such a great appearance and a good temperament, not getting married even when he was in his thirties.
As expected, Wei Tengfei was used to eating dishes cooked by the Xiaowan. Two big bowls of rice went down immediately and asked the Xiaowan with interest, “Have the beaches been fun?
The Xiaowan answered them one by one and then asked about the situation on the island. When they understood what was going on, the soldiers outside the tent came to report that the capital was in a rush.
However, the truth was that the news had only come at this moment, and it could not be considered as urgent. The Empress had already left, and Prince Haas had also left with his fiancee.
Wei Tengfei stared at the secret letter in a daze, only to have the atmosphere return to normal again. Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan stood at the side and looked at each other, guessing what exactly happened that caused the general’s expression to change. Could it be that something happened to the Empress?
At the end of the year, the empress and Ling Chaofeng were both severely ill. At that time, Wei Tengfei had rushed to the capital to send his little sister off, but the empress had turned her attention to the heaven and earth, changing into a safer place at the most critical time.
Could it be that at this moment, the disease had taken a turn for the worse? The Xiaowan looked at his husband nervously. Ling Chaofeng shook his head and signaled her to be quiet.
“The Emperor and Empress have come to the seaside. They want to personally send Prince Haas out of the Daqi.” Wei Tengfei calmed down, and after speaking these words, he walked to the door and ordered the soldiers to call the deputy general and the local water master’s general over.
Xiaowan could not believe her ears. Did this mean that she also had the chance to see the Emperor and Empress? young lady’s heart was thumping. From just one moment in her life, she had become an unstoppable miracle.
“In the end, Prince Haas has asked the Emperor for your hand in marriage.” Wei Tengfei then said, “Prince Haas, you will leave the Daqi with your fiancee. The wedding has not been held yet, so you said that you will go to the Xiluo to hold the wedding ceremony again.”
Wei Tengfei’s eyes became red, and his expression became gloomy: “Xiaowan, you know that the Emperor chose Hanxi.”
“Why did you choose Hanxi?” Xiaowan was stunned, her heart thumped, as she completely understood everything. She asked in shock, “You chose to marry Hanxi? Could it be that Hanxi still asked the Emperor? ”
“Heh …” Wei Tengfei smiled bitterly, with a hint of anger, “She doesn’t believe me, would she send her to the Siping Mansion?”
Xiaowan suddenly understood something. After that, the few generals came to discuss how to receive and protect the Emperor. She and her husband left the room.
Ling Chaofeng smiled lightly: “You just noticed it?”
Ling Chaofeng had long known from the mountain village that he had loved Wei Tengfei and knew what it meant to be moved. Only then would he be able to experience it so keenly. Maybe the General Wei wanted to see how he would react after settling the issue with the Xiluo, but it was a pity that fortune was messing with people. In the blink of an eye, Hanxi had become the fiancee of Prince Haas.
“I suddenly hate that blue-eyed man, like a faerie.” The Xiaowan was angry, but also furious. “Hanxi is really stupid, I’ve advised her eight hundred times, how can she not understand? Mrs. Bi truly harms himself, causing his daughter to suffer for her. “
