As the night fades away, the morning bell rings.

The towers of the imperial city are majestic and solemn under the sunlight.

On the city wall, Tang Zhao and hundreds of civil and military officials saw Xia Jie off.

The day had arrived for Xia Jie to go on his expedition.

Xia Jie was dressed in armor and riding a tall horse. He knelt solemnly to bid farewell to the emperor, but his eyes wandered over the city wall.

Will she come?

Xia Jie couldn't help but look forward to it secretly.

However, Xia Jie felt that she would not come because Her Highness usually slept until noon.

He smiled to himself, thinking of her appearance again.

Just as he looked away, he saw someone waving at him from the highest watchtower on the city wall.

Xia Jie admitted that he was a little surprised. After all, this highest watchtower was the place most strictly guarded by the Emperor's Yulin Army.

She really didn't expect that His Highness was there.

She actually came.

Xia Jie had very good eyesight. When he saw Xiaoyu in a white dress and black robe, he looked at her with warm eyes.

In my heart, General Xia is a hero.

Xia Jie suddenly thought of what she said and a smile appeared on his lips.

He set off amid the loud farewells, and walked further and further away.

In this battle, he must do his best to win.

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Xia Jie's departing back with a gentle look.

She yawned and looked a little sleepy.

In order to see Xia Jie off, she got up early, breaking her usual habit of sleeping until she woke up naturally.

Xiaoyu could go with Tang Zhao to see Xia Jie off in the center of the city wall.

But she really didn't want to wear that complicated dress and heavy ceremonial headdress.

So she chose the highest watchtower, which would allow her to see Xia Jie off without encountering those officials.

Her long hair was scattered softly, and she was wearing only the simplest dress, yet she was as lively and enchanting as a mountain elf or ghost.

Cuizhi put a cloak on her and lamented that the general's return might have to wait until the beginning of the new year or spring.

"It seems that the idea of ​​taking the general into the backyard has failed." Cuizhi thought to herself and sighed.

All the officials left the scene, but Tang Zhao stopped and looked silently towards the highest point.

My sister was graceful and lazily lying on the tower window, her ink-black long hair fluttering in the wind.

Tang Zhao smiled and was in a good mood.

He only looked for a moment and then had to leave with the officials.

But Xiaoyu didn't know that his younger brother saw him.

Tang Xiaoyu just said happily that it was rare for him to get up so early, so of course he wanted to go out for a walk.

The weather was very good and the sun was warm. Xiaoyu did not take a carriage, but chose to take a walk wearing a hat.

It's not a bad custom that women are not allowed to show their faces in public. The women here walk around freely and are not restrained.

Here, the status and restrictions on women are not as strict as in the ancient times we know.

Xiaoyu just felt that it was too sunny, so he wore a hat to block the sun.

She only brought Cuizhi and Chunke with her, and felt very comfortable.

"Master, it will be the beginning of autumn in two days. It will be the birthday of Lord Qiu." Cuizhi thought about it and said to Xiaoyu with a smile.

When going out, Cuizhi usually calls Xiaoyu master.

Even though we have Chun Ke, a peerless master, it's always better to be careful.

Xiaoyu naturally remembered, nodded and said, "Just in time to go shopping and see what to pick for A-Zhe."

Cuizhi smiled and thought to herself that Qiu Shijun still held a special position in His Highness' heart.

Xiaoyu recalled that in the original owner's memory, she would hang a golden leaf from a persimmon tree for Qiuzhe every year.

The original owner had neglected Qiuzhe in recent years and had been absent twice, but he couldn't forget this.

After all, Qiuzhe is her first man, and he is always different in her heart.

The three of them strolled around for a while and then slowly walked back. There were a lot of people gathered in front of them and it looked like there was a lot of excitement.

"What happened in front?" Xiaoyu playfully lifted the gauze curtain of her hat and looked in that direction.

"I can't see it either." Cuizhi stood on tiptoe, but couldn't see what was happening in front of her.

Seeing that there were too many people surrounding him, Chun Ke huddled close to Xiao Yu, fearing that something might happen.

Xiaoyu looked at Chunke and said with a smile: "Chunke, pick me up and let me see."

Chun Ke was stunned, but still did as he was told.

He easily held Xiaoyu's legs and lifted her up, sighing in his heart that Her Highness was too light.

It feels light, like a feather, and always feels unreal.

With a smile on his face, he was happy to serve His Highness.

Xiaoyu was lifted up and looked down at the whole place. Then he could see clearly that people were surrounding two teenagers who were fighting on the ground.

A young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in brocade clothes. Judging from the material and the jade pendant around his waist, he was a son of a wealthy family.

The other little boy who was beaten looked to be less than ten years old, very small, and wearing only ordinary clothes.

The young man in brocade clothes pinned the child down and beat him, cursing,

"You dumb bastard! Even if I beat you to death today, no one will care! I'll let you steal!"

It seemed that the child couldn't speak. Even after being beaten like that, he didn't talk back, but just made a helpless hissing sound from his throat.

Looks so pitiful.

"You are still young and don't learn your lesson. You stole other people's things. You deserve to be beaten."

"Yes."

When Xiaoyu heard the discussions of the people around her, she felt a little distressed and subconsciously pouted.

She patted Chun Ke and signaled her to put her down.

"He's a little mute, so pitiful." The little fish murmured.

This is not the Virgin Mary, this is not it.

Xiaoyu swears that she is not a saint!

It's that little mute who looks very small and pitiful, and looks like his younger brother.

She really looks like her brother when he was a child, so pitiful.

"Master, do you want to take care of it?" Cuizhi asked.

"Of course, with so many people surrounding us, what should we do if it causes congestion? It's very dangerous, so of course we have to take care of it!"

Xiaoyu spoke righteously.

Then he gave Chun Ke a look.

"Chun Ke, clear the way."

Chun Ke picked up the knife skillfully and stepped forward to push away the crowd.

Seeing that Chun Ke was not someone to be trifled with, the onlookers made way for him.

Xiaoyu walked into the crowd, came to the two children, and said in a dignified manner: "Stop."

The little mute on the ground was beaten so hard that blood was coming out of the corner of his mouth. His vision was a little blurry. Looking at the little fish that suddenly appeared, he wondered if he was dreaming.

He wondered if he was going to die.

It turns out that you can see fairies before you die.

He gasped for his last breath and tried to look more clearly, only to find that there was actually someone who would save him.

The person who saved him looked like a fairy.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" The young man in brocade clothes was annoyed when he saw someone stepping forward to stop him.

He pointed at the little fish and said unhappily.

"Get as far away from me as you can, you bitch."

Xiaoyu looked at the boy indifferently, swept a look of contempt over him, and just smiled calmly.

Du Weizi stepped forward immediately, his eyes and hands were very quick.

Cuizhi slapped the boy hard on the face and shouted, "You are so blind that you dare to scold our Highness!"

The young man was furious and was about to hit Cuizhi, but was stunned when he heard her words.

Your Highness?

The young man looked at Tang Xiaoyu and thought to himself that something was wrong.

In the entire imperial city, who else could be addressed as "Your Highness" except the eldest princess?

He looked at Xiaoyu in shock, remembering how he had been so blind as to dare to scold the princess!

It’s over, it’s over, I’ve hit a wall.

He quickly admitted his mistake and immediately knelt down to apologize to Xiaoyu.

"I am blind and have offended the princess. I hope Her Royal Highness will forgive me."

He said it fearfully, not at all as arrogant as before.

The little fish is intimidating without being angry, and there is contempt and majesty in his eyes.

Only then did everyone realize that this woman was actually the eldest princess.

They were very excited when they saw the living Bodhisattva appear in a low-key manner.

Finally I saw His Highness in person!
