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

"I never thought that the legendary General He would be so radiant and charming when he took off his military uniform and put on women's clothes."

"Yes, she is bright and beautiful, yet also has a heroic beauty that is rarely seen in women of Tianze."

"No wonder His Royal Highness, who has extremely high standards and never takes any woman in the world seriously, would actually fall in love with General He."

"Of course not. I heard from my father that General He has been by Your Highness's side almost day and night for the past year. In that bitter cold land, amidst mountains of swords and seas of blood, the two have shared joys and sorrows, going through life and death together. How could they not have developed an unforgettable bond?"

"Are you always by my side day and night?" This question was filled with ambiguous gossip.

The respondent didn't think much about it and replied, "Yeah! I heard that the battle at the front is urgent and the generals can hardly sleep day or night."

"That lonely man and woman..."

The answerer waved his hands quickly.

"Not really. The other generals are here too."

"Oh! I see! But that's all right. I guess His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has General He in his heart."

"My guess is that she is the only one."

"In that case, the Crown Princess must be General He!"

Everyone was talking here when they suddenly heard a report.

"Lord Wen of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate has arrived with his family."

The place suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the loyal and brave Marquis Wen walking into the venue with his family, all smiling.

He exchanged greetings with the guests one by one, and then sat down at the front of the guest area.

He Zhixiao stood up like everyone else and saluted the old Marquis Wen.

After sitting down, a barely perceptible smile could still be suppressed on his pretentious face.

She was still immersed in the discussion of everyone just now.

The love of His Highness that she never received was compensated through the mouths of the world, and she felt satisfied and proud in her heart.

So, although she heard it clearly and knew that they knew she heard it clearly, she never mentioned that it was all their speculation.

On the contrary, if it is revealed in the military camp, it will easily be misunderstood as shyness.

But today, this shyness is mixed with a hint of regret, grievance and sadness.

It’s a pity that the world doesn’t know that she saved the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the battlefield.

Feeling wronged and sad is usually pretended.

Now the marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yan Yunshu has been decided.

Moreover, if the wedding date of the two is really the tenth day of next month as the prince said, then it should be today after the coming-of-age ceremony.

It's time to grant the marriage certificate.

By then, there will definitely be a huge uproar here.

Then the grievance and sadness she shows now will be interpreted by the world in another way, which is what she wants to hear.

For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no choice but to marry Yan Yunshu.

That expression of fondness for Yan Yunshu was also a kind of helpless compromise.

For example, General He’s deep affection should not be let down. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider public opinion and not chill the hearts of the soldiers who fought bloody battles.

Thinking of this, He Zhixiao was moved by himself again.

There were even some redness in the eye sockets, as if all the fantasies had come true.

She fell in love with him and had forgotten when it started.

Or when we were children, a stunning glimpse in the vast crowd.

Or, when you see the crown on his head that symbolizes the supreme imperial power.

In short.

As long as it can be related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if it can only exist in word of mouth or in the novels that are popping up like bamboo shoots.

it is also fine.

She thought so.

The people behind her lowered their voices and continued their conversation, continuing with the previous topic.

"It's hard to say about the Crown Princess."

"Why?"

"How can one decide on a royal marriage on their own?" the speaker sighed. "Of course, many factors must be considered, and then the emperor will choose a candidate who is both beneficial and popular."

"Putting aside the interests, the one you say is the most popular among the people is our General He, isn't he? Looking across the entire Tianze, is there any other woman who can compare to General He's popularity among the people?"

"You also said that we should put aside interests. What if we are talking about interests?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense. Who is it?"

"There are two more. One is the daughter of the Queen's younger sister, Princess Fengling! The other is Yan Yunshu, the former daughter of the Prime Minister's family and now the granddaughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who has been engaged to the royal family since birth."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I believe you when you say Princess Fengling, but how is it possible for you to say the son of a criminal?"

"Brother, you don't know this. Although Yan Yunshu is the daughter of a traitor and it is difficult to clear her name even if she is removed from the family tree, her maternal grandfather..."

"I know the answer to this question!" someone interrupted.

"Her maternal grandfather is Lord Wen, a veteran of three dynasties!"

"Half guessed right!"

"Ah? What else?"

"Her grandmother, how could you forget? She was the first female general in the history of Tianze, and she was a first-rank general!"

"So what? Even if I was once a great general holding a tiger talisman, it has become a thing of the past."

"His father was a founding father of Tianze! His mother was the eldest princess of Fengyu, Tianze's eastern neighbor."

Everyone was shocked.

"Is this true?"

"Guarantee with your life!"

"Ah? How did you know such a cryptic thing?"

"I overheard this the other day while listening to my grandfather's idle chat. I can only say that this old lady is too low-key. After retiring and getting married, she not only declined the title of Duke bestowed by the Emperor, but also concealed her identity and devoted herself to taking care of her husband and children."

"I never thought there would be such a reason."

"The old lady looks extraordinary. I originally thought it was due to her years of leading troops in battle. I never imagined that one of her parents was a founding father and the other was the eldest princess of a neighboring country!"

"So, Yan Yunshu should also be on the list of Crown Princesses?"

"Of course it's possible, but the people don't approve. After all, he is the son of a criminal."

"It seems that it is very rare to have both."

"Yes, Yan Yunshu and General He, one has all the vested interests, and the other has all the people's support."

"Is there anyone who has both?"

"Yes, she is the Queen's younger sister and the Duke of Qi's only daughter, Princess Fengling!"

"But Duke Qi..."

"Hush... In short, no matter which of them it is, they can't get around the knot in His Highness' heart about General He."

When He Zhixiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As everyone was talking, they looked in the direction of the person who was speaking.

Duke Qi and Gu came in as the announcement was made.

The two of them sat down next to the Marquis's residence and exchanged pleasantries again.

Everyone who comes is an extraordinary guest.

Naturally, everyone did not dare to be negligent and did not dare to say a word about the idle discussions just now.

They all kept silent.
