After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Chapter 246 Invitation

So the two of them, each holding a pot of wine, walked towards His Highness.

After coming to Xu Jinghuai and Yan Yunshu.

The two men saluted, then raised their glasses and began to toast.

After one round, the two men filled their glasses, began to salute again, and then continued to toast.

Xu Jinghuai naturally declined the second cup. He looked at the two of them and smiled.

"You two are both great contributors to this expedition. No need for formalities."

Having said that, he asked the eunuch to give the two of them seats in front of him.

After He Zhixiao sat down, he glanced at Yan Yunshu casually, and this glance seemed to pierce deeply into his heart.

It made her feel uncomfortable all over.

So beautiful, really so beautiful.

This is a delicate flower that is so beautiful that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

She felt like she was having trouble breathing.

Yan Yunshu, who didn't know that she was being compared to a delicate flower, looked closely at the two generals while sipping the tea in her hand.

Ruan Tingzhi was a man of few words. He was a young general, full of vigor and vitality, with a square face with distinct features, and he was extremely upright and awe-inspiring.

And what about He Zhixiao?

It was hard for Yan Yunshu to compare herself with the generals who went into battle to kill the enemy.

It's just because her temperament now seems very different from when she was paraded that day.

Although General He is still full of heroism and has the heroic spirit of returning from the border, Yan Yunshu somehow always feels that there is a pitiful and fragile look in her eyes that cannot be concealed.

It seems like it will break if pushed.

Yan Yunshu's expression paused, then she smiled again.

"Yun Shu, on behalf of the people of Tianze, thanks the two generals."

As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

Ruan Tingzhi had never seen such a stunning woman in his life. He was stunned for a moment, but then quickly reacted.

He quickly picked up his wine glass.

Seeing this, He Zhixiao gave a typical hearty smile.

Holding the wine glass, there is a casual air in his every move.

"Thank you for the compliment, young lady."

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Yan Yunshu smiled and took a sip of the wine in her glass.

Although he did not have the same grandeur as the two generals, he was also well-mannered and impeccable.

He Zhixiao was surprised to find that Yan Yunshu did not have the pretentiousness of that young woman.

A trace of disappointment arose in my heart.

At this time, singing and dancing began.

Suddenly, from somewhere, a soldier started to urge General He to perform a sword dance for everyone.

Then, all the soldiers in the hall started to make a fuss.

He Zhixiao blushed.

She just acted shy and secretly glanced at Xu Jinghuai.

The soldiers became more and more excited.

"General He, come one!"

There was a constant stream of booing.

He Zhixiao's shyness was even more obvious.

Sword dance is not difficult, but what is rare is that she is the only woman in the military camp, so her sword dance is unparalleled in the world.

She thinks she is unique and can conquer any man in the world.

Over the past few years, she often danced during the breaks between marches and camps.

But at that time, she only danced in front of the soldiers and never in front of His Highness.

Now, she wants to dance.

How could I not think about it?

The first soldier to start a commotion was also planned by her in advance.

Once His Highness returns to the palace, we will proceed according to the plan.

Although His Highness unexpectedly brought back a future Crown Princess, this was not related to her desire to win the heart of His Highness the Crown Prince.

There is no conflict.

It would be even better if the Crown Princess felt jealous and made things difficult for me.

It also highlights the artificiality and disgust of the hypocritical pretense of women in the boudoir.

"Your Highness..."

She began to ask for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and glanced at the excited soldiers, then, amid He Zhixiao's eager anticipation, looked at Yan Yunshu beside him.

He held her hand gently in his palm.

Her face was filled with a tenderness and tenderness that the world had never seen before.

"Would you like to see it?"

Everyone was surprised.

Yan Yunshu looked at the way He Zhixiao glanced at Xu Jinghuai from time to time, and the weird feeling that came with it when she first met He Zhixiao came back to her.

A woman's intuition is terrifying. The first impression she had made her know what He Zhixiao was thinking.

Yan Yunshu knew that Xu Jinghuai had now placed her in the position of Crown Princess.

From then on, she could no longer avoid the woman who had other thoughts about Xu Jinghuai, and she would have to face it herself.

If it were this case, I would have to be extremely cautious and put in all my efforts, and the road ahead would be so tiring.

She didn't want to tire herself anymore.

A slight smile played on her lips.

"Want to see."

The soldiers applauded.

I really didn't expect that the future Crown Princess would be so courageous and broad-minded.

Seeing Yan Yunshu responded that she wanted to see it, Xu Jinghuai agreed without hesitation.

He Zhixiao frowned slightly, stood up and took the soft sword handed to him by the eunuch.

Then began to dance.

The soldiers continued to praise her, but she felt more and more uncomfortable as she danced.

It was because His Highness still didn't even look at her.

Yan Yunshu looked at her, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Yan Yunshu.

It never moved away for a minute or a second.

And she was like an actor who performed specially for the future Crown Princess, allowing everyone to amuse herself together with her.

With jealousy and resentment in his heart, Jianwu lost his carefree spirit.

The lively and dashing posture was lost when the dance steps were exchanged.

The soldiers couldn't help whispering.

"That day in the camp, I saw General He's sword dance and was struck by his divine demeanor. But now, why do I feel that he's nothing special?"

"Maybe it's because of that bitter cold place, everything seems good to me."

"Yes, that's absolutely true."

After one stick of incense.

The sword dance ended, and He Zhixiao was covered in sweat.

She knew she had messed up the dance, but it didn't matter since His Highness hadn't even looked at it anyway.

She handed the sword back to the eunuch.

Only after obtaining His Highness's permission did he sit down again.

Yan Yunshu looked at her face, which was covered with sweat, and said with a smile, "General He, you have worked hard."

Before He Zhixiao could respond, Xu Jinghuai said, "Yunshu, do you want to see something else?"

Yan Yunshu thought for a moment and then looked at Xu Jinghuai's face.

Looking at his eyes filled with excessive tenderness.

So soft-hearted.

"think."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghuai replied, "What are you thinking about?"

Yan Yunshu was stunned.

What do you want to see? Is Xu Jinghuai teasing me again?

He blushed instantly.

Xu Jinghuai was still unsatisfied and wanted to say something else.

Then he heard the chief eunuch of the Weiyang Palace coming hurriedly.

"Your Highness, the Queen invites you."

When Xu Jinghuai heard that it was his mother who wanted to see him, he quickly stood up, but his hand was still tightly holding Yan Yunshu's.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Empress has asked Your Highness to go to Weiyang Palace in person. She said there is an urgent matter that needs to be discussed with Your Highness, and it will not take Your Highness too long."

Xu Jinghuai hesitated.

He looked at Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu looked at his clingy appearance and couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, please go quickly. I will wait for you here."

Xu Jinghuai looked at the guards around him and glanced at Yingfeng again.

This meant that Yan Yunshu would be temporarily handed over to them for close protection.

After doing all this, he stroked Yan Yunshu's hand again.

The reluctance to let go was so strong that even the eunuchs in Weiyang Palace could not bear to watch it anymore.

"Your Highness, it will only take a moment."

"Well, the king knows."

Even if it wasn't a moment, he could compress it into a moment.

But he just didn't want to leave Yan Yunshu for even a minute or a second.

This lasted for half an incense stick of time.
