Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Zhao Junning took a sip of wine and said, "Because of my royal aunt! About twenty years ago, Guangping Hou should still be a general! My Bian State fought a great war with the Handan Chi people, and my royal aunt was the defending general! Originally, the royal aunt could come back alive in the last battle, but in order to let those young soldiers in the barracks come back alive, she guarded Xuyu Pass alone! How could a young girl in her jade-like age not be afraid to guard Xuyu Pass alone! So the royal grandfather has since forbidden us sisters to practice martial arts and not to get close to the battlefield! The royal grandfather allows us to travel everywhere and learn things that men can learn, but he never allows us to learn martial arts!"

After hearing this, Li Ziyan asked again: "Then why?"

Zhao Junning said, "Because I'm stubborn! My father sent me to Yunhua Mountain when I was almost five years old. He wanted me to learn medicine from Master Baicao, but I secretly watched them practice martial arts and I liked it from the bottom of my heart, so I practiced it. Later, I met Master Hongmei and practiced martial arts with both masters. When my father found out at first, he locked me up and didn't let me go out. But I was very successful in martial arts, so I climbed out the window and left home. It wasn't until I was old enough that my father compromised!"

Li Ziyan said: "When women are serious, we men are really no match for them!"

Zhao Junning added: "That's right! Why can men practice martial arts but women can't? Men can read and write to assist in state affairs, and so can women!"

Li Ziyan just listened to Zhao Junning talking like this!

After a long time, Mo Yu fell asleep sitting on the ground because of what Zhao Junning said! Zhao Junning was drunk and unconscious. He sat opposite Li Ziyan and said, "You said you are so beautiful, but I don't know if you are married! And how can you be the king of hell who kills people without blinking an eye when you are so beautiful! Hehehe, I actually have another identity. When I wear thick clothes, I am the Jade-faced Rakshasa, and when I wear light clothes, I am the Black-faced Divine Doctor! The black face is not my mask, but when I diagnose a disease, I only show my voice without showing my face. The jade face is the mask I wear when I kill people!"

After hearing this, Li Ziyan secretly said in his heart: "So you have such a secret!"

Zhao Junning stood up suddenly, walked to Li Ziyan's side, leaned over to his ear and said, "Am I more charming today than those ladies from wealthy families? Do you like it?"

Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning from the side and it seemed like she was about to kiss him, but in fact, Zhao Junning had fallen asleep on the ground! Li Ziyan shook his head as he looked at the situation, got up, helped Zhao Junning wake up Mo Yu!

Zhao Junning put her arm around Li Ziyan's neck. Li Ziyan had no choice but to hold Zhao Junning and stand up! Mo Yu rubbed his eyes and said after seeing clearly: "General, this..." Li Ziyan hushed: "Don't wake her up, pay the money!" After that, he carried Zhao Junning downstairs!

Mo Yu frowned and said, "She obviously treated us to a meal, but now we have to pay! This is a table full of delicious food! Waiter, pay the bill and give me some of the best meat to take away!" "Okay!"

On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Mo Yu followed Li Ziyan with food in his hand and said, "Master, let me take over! Don't get tired!"

Li Ziyan said, "When did I say I was tired? Is it appropriate for you to hold her? Men and women should not touch each other, so follow me carefully!"

Mo Yu scratched his head and said, "Sir, aren't you a man too?"

Li Ziyan looked at Mo Yu and said, "Stop talking!"

Mo Yu covered his mouth and motioned Li Ziyan to keep walking! The little beauty in his arms may have really walked for a long time. Li Ziyan's face was calm, and the little beauty's face in his arms was also rosy. Li Ziyan looked down and his heart was pounding! Zhao Junning, who was sleeping in Li Ziyan's arms, was also quiet like a kitten!

The imperial city was also bustling for a long time at night! When they arrived not far from the Prince's Mansion! It happened that Zhao Junhao and the Prince Zhao Nian and Meng Xiangning got off the carriage outside the Prince's Mansion! After Zhao Junhao and Meng Xiangning helped the drunk Zhao Nian get off the carriage!

Zhao Junhao turned around and saw Li Ziyan approaching. He took a closer look and saw that the person in his arms was Zhao Junning. He shouted, "Imperial sister?" Meng Xiangning looked at Li Ziyan and told the eunuch, "Help the prince go back and rest!" After that, Meng Xiangning walked towards Li Ziyan. When Li Ziyan saw Meng Xiangning, he bowed and said, "Crown Princess, I'm bringing Princess Junning back to you! She drank too much..."

Just as Zhao Junhao was about to take over Zhao Junning, Zhao Junning drunkenly jumped out of Li Ziyan's arms and said with a smile: "My son pays respect to my mother!"

Zhao Junhao hurried to support Zhao Junning! Meng Xiangning smiled and glanced at Zhao Junning and said to Li Ziyan: "Thank you, General Li. I am sorry to bother you because of my temper!" Li Ziyan smiled and said: "No trouble, the princess has a good temper!" Mo Yu muttered in a low voice: "What good temper! So fierce!"

Li Ziyan coughed and Mo Yu shut up! Zhao Junhao said in a tough tone: "My sister looks like Luoshen. It's inevitable that men have improper thoughts about my sister. Thank you, General Li, for sending my sister back to the mansion!" Meng Xiangning patted Zhao Junhao and said to Li Ziyan: "Don't be surprised if my son doesn't know etiquette! Why don't you come into the mansion for a cup of tea?"

Zhao Junning stood up again and took Li Ziyan's arm and said, "Okay, let's go into the mansion for some tea. I wonder what kind of good tea you have? Let's taste it together?" Li Ziyan said, "It's getting late today, I will come to visit you early tomorrow morning! The princess is very drunk, please go back to the mansion quickly!" Meng Xiangning looked at Zhao Junning and then at Li Ziyan and said, "Then I will entertain General Li well tomorrow!"

When Zhao Junhao helped Zhao Junning to leave, Zhao Junning turned around and tiptoed to kiss Li Ziyan on the cheek and said, "Lady Li is waiting for me to marry you!" Zhao Junhao couldn't bear to see his sister like this, so he helped Meng Xiangning back home first! Li Ziyan's heartbeat accelerated a little after being kissed! Mo Yu was stunned! Soon Li Ziyan came to his senses and bowed to Meng Xiangning before leaving!

Meng Xiangning smiled and said after seeing Li Ziyan leave, "What a perfect match! One is a fire-like passionate, bold and lively girl from the royal family, and the other is a cool, calm, gentle and considerate boy from the general family. I like such a son-in-law. One is enough! My daughter is amazing!"

Zhao Junhao helped Zhao Junning back to the dormitory, but before he could stand firmly, Zhao Junning vomited all over Zhao Junhao. Zhao Junhao was so angry that he said, "Why did you have to vomit now if you didn't vomit earlier or later? Why didn't you vomit all over Li Ziyan just now!" Zhao Junning said drunkenly, "Good wine, hehe!"

Licorice and Poria came in with water and hangover soup. Seeing Zhao Junhao's body, they were neither laughing nor not laughing. Zhao Junhao said, "Hurry up and wipe her and give her the hangover soup!" After saying that, he looked at the hem of her clothes and said, "My good sister vomited all over me!"

After saying that, he walked out with his skirt lifted! After wiping, he drank the hangover soup! Zhao Junning slept very well that night, changing her sleeping position countless times, which was completely different from the quietness in Li Ziyan's arms. The candlelight reflected on Zhao Junning's beautiful face, a girl of her marriage year!

Meanwhile, Li Ziyan, who had already returned to the general's residence, was grinning foolishly by the window inside the house! Even with the moonlight shining in, his smiling face could be seen from behind! Mo Yu looked at Li Ziyan and whispered, "Good things have happened to my general!" Li Ziyan turned around and sat on a stool, poured a cup of tea and drank it, saying, "Today's tea is very sweet!" Mo Yu looked at him and said, "General, you said yesterday that this tea was bitter and unpalatable, so you asked me to prepare some fresh flowers to make tea!" Li Ziyan looked at the water in the teacup and asked, "Really?... I'm used to it today!" Mo Yu didn't know what to say, so he bowed and said, "General, go to bed early!" Li Ziyan continued to smile and said, "Okay!" At this time, the candlelight in the house shone on Li Ziyan's face, and he was full of the aura of a young man in his dancing elephant years!

The next day, the sun rose in the east; Zhao Junning opened her eyes, stretched, sat up, rubbed her neck and said, "Why does my neck hurt so much!" Gancao came in with a basin of water and saw that Zhao Junning had woken up and asked, "Is the princess feeling unwell?" Zhao Junning shook her head and said, "No!"

He rubbed his head again and thought of his behavior last night. He immediately covered his face with shame. Gancao saw Zhao Junning's shyness and said, "Princess, you are so bold to be shy. There is no one else in the room!"

Fuling hurried over and said, "Princess, General Li is here! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are entertaining you and have ordered me to call you to have breakfast!"

Zhao Junning fell on the bed, covering her face and said, "Just tell mother that I'm not feeling well!" Gancao said, "Princess, why don't you go! Then just pretend that you don't remember what happened last night! Then General Li won't dare to do anything!" Zhao Junning thought for a moment and said, "That's right! You can't starve yourself!"

Zhao Junning put on some decent clothes and went! When they arrived at the front hall, everyone sat down. Zhao Junning bowed and sat down too! While eating, Meng Xiangning suddenly asked, "I wonder how old General Li is and whether he is married? My Junning is in her jasper year this year and has no marriage for the time being!"

Zhao Junning spat out the tea she had drunk when she heard this! Zhao Junhao laughed at the side! Meng Xiangning also asked: "I have always heard that the son of Marquis Guangping is a man of both civil and military talents and has an extraordinary appearance. When I saw him yesterday, it turned out that my Junning has been a man of both civil and military talents since she was a child, and her medical skills are also excellent. So-called a good woman matches a good man!"

Zhao Junning heard this and said, "Mother~" Zhao Nian pulled Meng Xiangning's sleeve and said, "You are too anxious!" Li Ziyan said, "I will be twenty in three years and I have no marriage yet. Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness!" Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan and smiled bitterly! Hearing Zhao Junhao laughing next to him, he hit his arm and said, "Still laughing!"

At noon, laughter continued in Manying Pavilion. A closer look revealed that it was Princess Yongling Zhao Junrong, Princess Pingling Zhao Junqin, Princess Anling Zhao Junxin, as well as Wang Xuan, daughter of Wang Luozhong, Qin Zhuoxi, daughter of Qin Wenzhao, and Yuan Xinghui, daughter of Yuan Song, the daughters of the ministers! Zhao Junrong said, "Today is a day for flower viewing, so don't be restrained, sisters!"

The sound of the zither started and Wang Xuan was dancing in the center. At this time, one woman was discussing with another woman, saying, "Sister Wang Xuan's phoenix dance is really beautiful. I thought Princess Feng Ling's dance was already very beautiful, but I didn't expect Sister Wang Xuan to dance even more beautifully!"

"Yes! Sister Wang Xuan dances more beautifully!" Yuan Xinghui heard it and sneered, "How can the original dancer be surpassed by the flip dancer!"

After Wang Xuan finished dancing, she looked at Yuan Xinghui and said, "Sister Xinghui, do you think my dancing is not good? What you two sisters said is right. Princess Feng Ling created this dance eight years ago. Why can't others surpass it now?"

The daughters of the ministers on the side said, "Yes, yes!" Zhao Junrong said, "It seems that Sister Wang Xuan thinks you can surpass my cousin Jun Ning?"

Wang Xuan was a little timid but still said confidently: "Princess Feng Ling hasn't danced this dance for eight years. It's easy to surpass her!"

Qin Zhuoxi said, "How narcissistic! How can you surpass Jun Ning's dancing skills?" Gao Xue, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, said, "Why can't others learn to surpass something that has not been picked up for a long time? Sister Wang Xuan's dancing is indeed far better than Princess Feng Ling's, isn't it? Today is to appreciate the flowers, not to review the dance. Besides, Princess Feng Ling hasn't come at this time today, what do you have to brag about!"

At this time, Zhao Junqin angrily scolded: "Gao Xue, how dare you talk about the princess?" Gao Xue then questioned: "Isn't Princess Pingling the most at odds with Princess Fengling? Are you also acting like sisters today?"

Zhao Junxin shouted angrily: "How dare you! This is disrespectful." Wang Xuan said: "So what?" "What? What do you want? You should be sent to Baili Si for trial for talking about the princess behind her back!" Zhao Junning said in a sharp voice; the daughters of the ministers who came over saluted him, including Wang Xuan and Gao Xue!

Zhao Junning walked up to Wang Xuan with a smile and said, "Sister Wang Xuan is really amazing. Her dancing skills are even better than mine. I respect her! She is not afraid of offending us in the palace. I admire her!" She then walked up to Gao Xue and said, "Sister Gao Xue is really likable. We sisters are not getting along, but you know I like her!"

He said loudly, "You all want to talk about me, but you say it openly. Why are you doing it behind my back now? I'm not used to it!" Yuan Xinghui and Qin Zhuoxi looked at each other and said, "It's time to watch!"

Zhao Junning suddenly looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Sister Wang Xuan, your grandfather was the prime minister, so what? You can never surpass us royal children. You can surpass us in dancing skills, but not in birth! Do you understand?" Wang Xuan was afraid of Zhao Junning and dared not speak. Gao Xue seemed to have changed into a different person and said, "Princess Fengling, we have been waiting for you since you came. Your dress looks really beautiful today!"

Zhao Junning couldn't stand the words of such two-faced people and said, "This princess can come whenever she wants. Shangshu Gao is a person I admire, so why is his daughter so annoying! She really hasn't learned the rules! Sister Gaoxue, don't you remember this princess's dress? This is the dress I was wearing when I was pushed into the dry well in the palace when I was four years old. Now I made the same dress, but the size has become bigger, so you forgot it?"

Gao Xue blushed and didn't dare to look at Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning then straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Let's go and enjoy the flowers! The butterflies we raised have been released!" Yuan Xinghui and Qin Zhuoxi walked to Zhao Junning, gave her a thumbs up and said: "Sure enough, only you dare to do this to them!" Zhao Junning raised his eyebrows!
