After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

Su Qinchao wrote in his reply:

Princess, have you ever heard of any strange people or things? Or past lives or present lives? When Lan Yi and I were young, we both awakened to our past life memories in our dreams.

In our previous lives, we were both women and close friends. We had made an appointment to meet in the next life before we got married. However, we got married and ended up living in different places. We never had the chance to see each other again until we died.

I never thought that the promise made in the previous life would actually come true in this life! At first, I thought it was just a dream and didn’t take it seriously.

But since we met at Confucius Temple when I was 18, I realized at first sight that everything was true.

Although this statement is absurd, it is also what this humble subject says from the bottom of his heart. Ali has always been timid, and I hope Your Highness can properly place her. This humble subject will definitely repay the princess's kindness in the future.

After writing, he gently blew dry the ink and put it into the envelope. Then Su Qinchao sighed softly.

He didn't know whether Princess Yucheng would believe it after reading it. Maybe she would think he was talking nonsense. After hesitating for a while, he called Guanqi in and sent the letter.

"Do you believe it?" Princess Yucheng handed the letter to Lu Yong, the chief historian of the Princess's Mansion. This was the person she trusted the most and the one who had been with her the longest.

"You can't believe it completely, but you can't not believe it either." Lu Yong is also a book lover. He especially likes to read about strange people and strange things. As far as he knows, such things have actually happened more than once or twice among the people.

In the 20th year of the Zhenguan reign of the previous dynasty, there was a secret story of reincarnation in Wuling County, which was even recorded in the court newspaper. There were also two cases during the reign of Emperor Lizong.

Lu Yong told the princess what he knew and proposed:

"Lan Yi is in the princess's residence now. Why don't you send someone to observe her for a while? Over time, there will be clues."

"Yeah, that's right." It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so it's nice to use this matter to kill time. Su Qinchao still owes me a favor.

However, Princess Yucheng and Lu Yong did not expect that Lan Yi had been behaving herself since entering the princess's mansion.

Apart from occasionally going to the small kitchen to learn cooking skills from the dim sum chef, she was no different from other women.

Just then, the kitchen brought up a replica of the cake that Lan Yi had described.

Princess Yucheng found the dish very soft and sweet, so she ordered the kitchen to make another portion and send it to the palace so that the emperor could have a taste as well.

"Princess, does Lan Yi still need to be watched?" Lu Yong also picked up a cake. He didn't like sweets and felt that they were either too sweet or too greasy.

Today, seeing Princess Yucheng, who also doesn't like sweets, eat two pieces in a row, he couldn't help but take a piece to taste it. It was unexpectedly delicious, so he planned to pack a portion for his younger sister at home to try next day.

"Just keep an eye on it for now. Maybe it hasn't been long enough and he hasn't completely let down his guard yet."

"Yes!"

But more than half a year has passed and Lan Yi is still the same. Except for being a little taller and more handsome, there is no change at all.

"It seems that he is a coward." Princess Yucheng finally ordered people to stop watching. She shifted her gaze to the letters sent by Su Qinchao, rolled her eyes, changed her clothes and entered the palace.

No one knew what Princess Yucheng and the emperor talked about while sitting in the imperial study for a long time. All they knew was that in the evening, a fast horse galloped out of the princess's mansion and headed straight out of the capital towards the north.

Seven days later, at the Yanmen Pass camp, the commander's tent

"What? The higher-ups are transferring me to the Beijing Guard Camp?" Su Qinchao glanced at the transfer order in his hand, then looked at the almost full room of generals in confusion. They had never gathered so many people before.

"Although it's a lateral transfer, it's a promotion once you arrive at the foot of the imperial city." Guerrilla General Yuan Wu stroked his full beard.

To be honest, he was a little envious. Not only could he stay away from the wind, rain, and dew of the border and the endless wars of the Liao people, but he also had a ten-day break and could reunite with his family and enjoy family happiness.

However, not everyone can join the Beijing Guards, unless they have a strong background. People like him will most likely be sent to guard the border. Su Qinchao is really lucky to have married Princess Yucheng.

"That's what he said, but I've been in Yanmen Pass for almost four years!" He finally got his foothold and had his own people, so how could he leave?

"The transfer order has been issued, there is no room for maneuver~" General Xu Qingshan, who was standing beside him, seemed to see what he was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face:

"But you should be able to take your own soldiers with you. As for the others, it doesn't matter where they serve as soldiers."

"If that's the case, then that's all that matters."

After returning to his tent and telling Guanqi the sudden news and asking him to notify his personal soldiers to prepare for the aftermath, Su Qinchao picked up his pen to write a letter to Yunniang.

In the letter, he explained his current situation and asked her to stay in her hometown and take good care of her parents and not to come again.

His position was strange, and he didn't want to bring trouble to his family before he figured out the reason and got a firm foothold, so it would be better for them to stay safely in their hometown.

However, this transfer order is still beneficial to him, for example, Gao Zhili and Ali are in Kyoto.

...

Chang'an is still so beautiful in early summer. The bright sunshine shines on the lush woods and flowers in the fields. There are still laughing women washing clothes and children chasing butterflies by the stream.

Su Qinchao rode his horse slowly on the path outside Chang'an City. The city gate was obviously not far away, but he still wanted to stay here for a while.

It seemed to be around this time that he left Chang'an for Yanmen Pass. More than three years had passed, and he was back again. I wonder what was waiting for him.

"Young master, let's go!" Guanqi who was following him couldn't help but urge him. They had been traveling for a whole morning. He and his personal soldiers were already hungry. Now their stomachs were rumbling in unison, suggesting the empty city plan.

"Let's go!" Su Qin pulled the reins and drove the horse straight to the city gate.

That day they first found a stall at the foot of the city wall and rested for a while before leading the horses to Gao's mansion.

It seems that Chang'an City has not changed much in the past three years. People coming and going are intertwined among various small stalls, and it is still as lively as ever.

That night, after Su Qinchao and Gao Zhili finished their dinner, they took their wine to the rooftop and drank while enjoying the bustling night view of Chang'an. After two cups, Su Qinchao spoke:

"Brother Gao, do you know why I was transferred to the Beijing Guard Camp?" Gao Zhili has been promoted very quickly in the past two years and is now a sixth-rank Cheng Yilang.

"My father-in-law said that it might have been Princess Yucheng who proposed it." Ever since Princess Yucheng returned to the court, she has been doing things for Your Majesty that are beyond her ability.

But Su Qinchao obviously had nothing to do with those things, so his father-in-law was also very confused.

"So that's it." Although Su Qinchao didn't know what Princess Yucheng meant, he felt relieved when he knew it was Princess Yucheng who did it. It seemed that he could write a letter to Yunniang and ask her to send some silver to settle down in the house permanently.

However, the most he could do was to buy a house in the suburbs of Beijing. Although he had been an official for more than three years, he did not save much of his salary. He might even need to write to his parents and ask them to help him more.
