Started as a poor little girl

The next day, at dawn, when the first ray of morning light penetrated the gap in the curtains and gently fell on the warm bed, Li Lulu slowly woke up.

She opened her hazy eyes and her gaze happened to meet Wei Lingheng, who had already dressed and was ready to leave.

At this moment, Wei Lingheng's eyes revealed an unshakable determination.

He turned around without hesitation, as if he was ready to join the battlefield.

Li Lulu followed him out of the space silently, and the two of them carefully came to the door of their home.

It turned out that Wei Lingheng had tied the horses here last night.

Looking at everything in front of her, Li Lulu's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and tears gradually blurred her vision, but she tried hard not to let the sobs overflow from her throat, and just whispered:

"Wei Lingheng, you must come back. I will always be waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lingheng suddenly hugged Li Lulu tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

They snuggled up to each other, feeling each other's warmth and love.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and there were only the two of them left in the world.

Li Lulu tried hard to find words to express her deep concern for Wei Lingheng, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know how to start.

Just as she was hesitating, Wei Lingheng gently reached out his hand and gently covered her lips, with a faint smile on his face, and whispered to comfort her:

"Lulu, don't worry, everything will be fine. I promise I will come back to you safely."

After saying this, he left a passionate kiss on Li Lulu's forehead, then he mounted his horse and galloped off into the distance, his figure gradually moving further and further away until it disappeared into the boundless sky...

Since he had expressed his attitude so decisively, Li Lulu naturally had nothing to say.

So, she could only stand there silently, watching the figure go farther and farther away until it disappeared from her sight.

She watched him put on his neat and majestic military uniform with swift movements, put on his hard and cold helmet, and finally picked up his bulging bag and turned away.

At this moment, countless complex emotions surged into my heart, like an endless tide, but it is difficult to describe them in words.

She just stared blankly at his receding back, letting the tears in her eyes flow out uncontrollably, blurring the scene before her eyes.

However, Li Lulu did not let herself be immersed in sadness and worry for too long.

On the contrary, she kept repeating to herself in her heart, comforting herself:

"He will definitely be able to return safely! After all, he comes from a family of generals, has been through many battles and is very experienced. He will definitely be victorious and return with honor..."

Li Lulu still lives her life as usual, while Wei Lingheng resolutely goes to the border.

This year, Li Lulu's second brother married Chu Xinyue, and her eldest brother's child was born. It can be said that the family has double happiness.

As soon as Wei Lingheng arrived at the military camp, he encountered an enemy attack. He took on the responsibility and led his subordinates to fight bravely against the enemy.

He showed outstanding fighting talent since he was young, and his brave and fearless fighting spirit enabled him to achieve many great feats on the battlefield.

He is an expert swordsman and a master of archery, and can handle both close combat and ranged attacks with ease.

On the battlefield, Wei Lingheng always led the charge. His bravery and wisdom made the enemy tremble in fear. He had beheaded enemy generals several times, causing the enemy to be defeated.

His name on the battlefield was like thunder, shocking everyone.

The emperor praised Wei Lingheng's great military exploits and soon issued an edict: Wei Lingheng is a hero of our country. I am very proud of your military exploits. You have made an unprecedented contribution to the country. I specially confer you the title of king to honor your achievements.

Wei Lingheng took the imperial edict and expressed his gratitude, but a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart.

Wei Zhonglin was very proud of his grandson, thinking to himself, "He is worthy of being the grandson I personally raised!"

However, Wei Lingheng's worries surged into his heart like a tide.

He knew well the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, which was a battlefield of life and death.

He witnessed the loss of countless lives and knew that behind victory were endless sacrifices and pain.

Once upon a time, he was determined to protect his homeland, but in the torrent of war, he began to doubt whether his original intention was still as firm as before.

After two years of fierce fighting, the Kingdom of Dongli signed a peace agreement and surrendered, and sent their prince to marry as a token of friendship.

Wei Lingheng and Wei Zhonglin can finally embark on the journey home.

They passed by a secluded mountain village and happened to encounter bandits near the village who were harassing the villagers and looting their property.

When the villagers saw the army, they ran over as if they had found a life-saving straw, helplessly asking them for help, their eyes full of earnest hope that they could save the village.

Wei Lingheng did not hesitate at all, his sense of mission as a soldier burning in his heart.

He stepped forward resolutely and protected the village firmly like a guardian angel.

He led the soldiers to quickly build an indestructible line of defense, like a solid wall of steel.

They used their wisdom and courage to fight a thrilling battle with the bandits.

Wei Lingheng's swordsmanship was as fast as lightning. Every sword strike carried a fierce momentum, and killing the bandits was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

The bandits fell to the ground one after another under his sword, feeling unprecedented fear.

After a fierce battle, Wei Lingheng and his soldiers, like a steel Great Wall, successfully repelled the ferocious bandits like jackals, tigers and leopards, and defended the peace of the village, just like the arrival of the god of war.

The villagers were grateful to Wei Lingheng and worshipped him as a god, regarding him as the savior of the world.

However, Wei Lingheng modestly said: "I just did my duty as a soldier and fulfilled my responsibilities."

Without staying for too long, he continued on his journey back to Beijing.

In the capital, Li Lulu came on a business trip and was summoned by the Queen to the palace for a chat.

The Queen was overjoyed to learn that Li Lulu's fifteenth birthday would be in a few days. She made careful preparations and planned to hold a grand banquet in the hope of introducing her to the wives and daughters of dignitaries.

"Sister Yutong, no, absolutely not. We are common people and we don't accept this." Li Lulu waved her hands hurriedly and refused stubbornly. She has always been low-key and never relied on her status as the queen's sister to show off in public.

The queen pretended to be angry and said angrily: "That won't do. You are my Lu Yutong's sister, how can you be so shabby."

Lu Yutong dotes on Li Lulu and treats her like her own sister, and is happy to organize a banquet for her.

Seeing that she couldn't outdo the Queen, Li Lulu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the past few days, Li Lulu has been living in the palace, inseparable from Lu Yutong, eating and living together.

On the day of the banquet, the Queen sent Cuizhu to lead people to carefully dress up Li Lulu.

She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix-tail skirt. The hem of the skirt was as wide as waves and layered like folds. When she walked, she looked like a phoenix spreading its wings.

The gold and jade hairpin on her head sparkled brightly, and the pair of jade earrings hanging on her ears were as bright as stars.

Her eyes were as clear as water, sparkling with lively intelligence, making her beauty even more extraordinary.

The queen personally selected the dress for her, and she was very satisfied with the effect.

The queen took her hand and slowly walked into the imperial garden, the banquet venue.

As soon as Li Lulu and the Queen entered the venue, they attracted everyone's attention like a magnet, and countless people were captivated by her stunning beauty.

The banquet was filled with women, and the queen introduced Li Lulu's identity to everyone one by one with a smile.

Those noble ladies were envious and jealous, and secretly wondered how a peasant girl like her could become the Queen's sister.

"Oh! I really don't know if my sister is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After all, she is the Queen's adopted sister, so she must have some skills that she can show off."

A noble lady was very dissatisfied and she decided to make Li Lulu look bad in public so that she could feel better.

Li Lulu just tilted her head and looked at her, with a gentle smile in her eyes, without any sign of anger.

"Hmm...! Does being the Queen's sister have to have a special skill?"

The lady smiled jokingly, "Of course, if you don't believe me, ask everyone."

Cuizhu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She shouted, "How dare you insult Miss Lulu in front of the Queen."

The noble lady was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and took a few steps back. She didn't dare to offend Cuizhu, because Cuizhu was the head maid of the Queen, and the Queen was standing behind her.

"Sister Cuizhu, it's okay, let her speak." Li Lulu walked to Cuizhu, gently held her hand and patted it, signaling her not to panic.

Cuizhu understood that Miss Lulu knew what was going on and was naturally not afraid of others being rude to her.
