The first time in history

Qian Mingduo nodded happily, and slowly turned his head, his eyes seemed to contain the tenderness of the entire universe, and gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing the fairy in her dream, he kissed Wang Zhaojun's pair of white jade feet. Under the candlelight, those feet looked even more crystal clear, like the most exquisite porcelain, or like a newly blooming lily, pure and flawless.

His lips were warm and soft, and every touch was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples. Wang Zhaojun's eyes flashed with surprise and emotion. She may have never thought that her feet could become such a precious treasure in Qian Mingduo's eyes. This love was so pure and so deep that people could not help but sigh that love could really transcend everything and make the ordinary extraordinary.

"Princess" Just then, a sharp voice came in, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Eunuch Xue, please speak up if you have anything to say." Wang Zhaojun wanted to move her feet away, but Qian Mingduo stopped her with his eyes.

"The general was seriously injured a few days ago, and the princess placed the general in the carriage and took good care of him. I think the princess must be very tired. Why don't you ask the general to return to the tent and let the old servant take care of him. The princess can also take a rest. Please give your instructions, princess."

Qian Mingduo was so angry that he was about to curse, but Wang Zhaojun quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "This is the eunuch in charge of the palace. We should not offend this person."

"Is he assigned to supervise us?" Qian Mingduo didn't know who this eunuch Xue was, so he asked softly.

"Xiaohong," Wang Zhaojun called softly, "please ask the general's attendants to come and ask the general to return to his tent to rest."

Wang Zhaojun reluctantly held onto Qian Mingduo's hand. "I only know that the emperor arranged for him to assist you and escort me. I can't say for sure whether he is here to supervise you. But... from what he said just now, it seems that he is here to supervise you."

Wang Zhaojun stroked Qian Mingduo's forehead and whispered, "Even if he supervises, he supervises me. He dare not supervise you, the General of Chariots and Cavalry."

"I can't bear to leave you." Qian Ming wanted to sit up, but the pain in his back prevented him from moving. He could only stretch out his hands to Wang Zhaojun and said, "Hug me again, okay?"

Wang Zhaojun leaned over, hugged Qian Mingduo in her arms, and sighed. She raised her head and kissed Qian Mingduo lightly, wanting to say something, but stopped herself. Her beautiful eyes were filled with nostalgia and reluctance.

When Qian Mingduo was carried out of the carriage, the eunuch Xue from the palace bowed and saluted, and said loudly to the attendants: "Be careful, the general is seriously injured, don't hurt him."

"Since you know that this general is seriously injured, why the hell are you torturing me like this?" Qian Mingduo stared at Eunuch Xue angrily. "The wound was slowly healing, and you tormented me like this, and a lot of blood will flow again." He sighed and slowly closed his eyes. "You piece of shit."

The confused eunuch Xue could never have imagined that Han Bing, who was usually very respectful to him, would suddenly scold him.

Originally, he did not want to disturb Han Bing, after all, Han Bing was healing in the princess's car. This way, he could avoid unnecessary trouble and have some free time.

However, before leaving Chang'an, the chief steward of the palace had specifically told him one thing: "Wang Zhaojun must be handed over to the Chanyu in perfect condition." It was this sentence that made Eunuch Xue feel uneasy and nervous.

When he saw Han Bing staying in Wang Zhaojun's car for the past few days, he couldn't help but worry, fearing that something unspeakable had happened between them...

In fact, he was also present when the doctor treated Han Bing that day, and he knew Han Bing's injuries very well. He knew that Han Bing was still alive, which was considered a life saved. For such a person, what kind of unspeakable things could he do?

Eunuch Xue glanced at the figure under the lamplight in the car, and said with a sigh in his heart: "I let you scold me. I have been guarding such a beautiful woman for several days, but nothing happened. You deserve it. Who made you injured like that? I guess you are not much different from us eunuchs now."

"Hmph!" Eunuch Xue turned and walked towards his tent.

At Wang Zhaojun's insistence, the team stayed there for two more days. She couldn't take care of Qian Mingduo all the time, nor could she stay in his big tent all the time. Every day, she only went to Qian Mingduo's big tent before breakfast and after dinner to visit this man who made her worry so much.

Every time there were people in the big tent, these soldiers who followed General Han Bing and fought on the battlefield for many years voluntarily divided into groups and waited by the general's side regardless of day or night. The flag bearer Li Zhong moved the bedding under the general's bed and never left.

Wang Zhaojun and Qian Mingduo missed each other and longed for some time alone to talk about their feelings. However, when faced with those loyal but unromantic soldiers, they found it difficult to ask them to leave.

Every time Wang Zhaojun came to visit, the two could only express their love and attachment to each other through their eyes. This unspoken tacit understanding made their emotions deeper and more restrained. Although they could not express it fully, they knew each other's feelings and let this deep affection flow silently in their hearts.

A month later, Qian Mingduo had completely recovered. The camel caravan had passed Wuyuan County (now Baotou City, Inner Mongolia) and traveled west to Linhe County, Shuofang County (now Linhe District, Bayannur, Inner Mongolia). This was the last sphere of influence of the Western Han regime in the northwest.

From here, heading west, passing through Yinshan Mountain from Gaoque, you will reach the exit of the desert - Jilu Pass. Wang Zhaojun will go out of the frontier from here, and this is the famous "Zhaojun Going Out of the Frontier" that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The team entered Linhe County in the evening. The Linhe County Magistrate was waiting at the South Gate early in the morning. He placed most of the people in the threshing ground in the southwest of the county.

He placed several eunuchs in the homes of two wealthy families in the county. Finally, he placed Wang Zhaojun and Qian Mingduo in a separate courtyard in his own county government office.

The county magistrate held a banquet in the back hall and invited his wife to accompany Wang Zhaojun. During the banquet, Qian Mingduo discussed with the county magistrate and decided to rest in Linhe for a few days.

Li Zhong had never left Qian Mingduo's side since he was injured. During the days he lived in the other courtyard, Li Zhong had been sleeping in the open air outside the window of Qian Mingduo's room.

Qian Mingduo scolded him several times, but the stubborn Li Zhong still slept outside the window faithfully. Even if there was a strong wind or a drizzle outside, he still stayed outside the window.

After a few days of rest and replenishment, the team will leave Linhe County early tomorrow morning.
