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

The corners of Yan Yunshu's mouth twitched.

Not curious.

She already knew the whole story.

He just took the jade pendant and found Mo Nianci's whereabouts, and then told Xu Jinghuai about it. Xu Jinghuai helped Mo Nianci return to the Hansha Palace, and the war was eased from then on.

That's all.

As she thought about the cause and effect of this matter, she listened to Yan Yunyi talking incessantly beside her.

"I heard that this jade pendant was given to General He by Mo Nianci before the war, and he also told General He that he wanted to ease the war. So, when the war was at its climax, General He took the jade pendant to Xiangyang City. Through Mo Nianci's informant, he found Mo Nianci's whereabouts and then informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the matter. In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people to escort Mo Nianci all the way back to Hansha, which led to the final easing of the war... Sister, tell me if this is a coincidence or not, or if it's magical. What did General He do to deserve the gift of the jade pendant from the dignified Crown Prince of Hansha..."

Yan Yunshu listened and couldn't help but smile speechlessly.

"Where did you hear this, brother?"

"Of course I heard it from those gossipers in the teahouse. They spread it with such detail that I took it all seriously."

"Who did they hear that from?"

"Um...it seems so. The guards from the East Palace who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his personal expedition to the border said so."

Yan Yunshu almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Good job, Xu Jinghuai, you always give me surprises.

Seeing Yan Yunshu like this, Yan Yunyi thought that she didn't believe him.

He said anxiously, "Sister, please don't disbelieve me! Those guards were the ones who protected Your Highness closely at the border back then. They naturally know more."

"Oh."

Yan Yunshu took the handkerchief handed to her by Xiulian and wiped the tea stains from the corners of her lips.

Then he slowly handed the handkerchief back to Xiulian.

"Why doesn't my sister seem interested?" Yan Yunyi looked at Yan Yunshu in confusion, tilting his head. "Everyone's talking about how amazing General He is!"

A sneer of contempt appeared at the corner of Yan Yunshu's mouth.

"Brother, do you also think General He is amazing?"

"Of course not!" Yan Yunyi stood up suddenly, "There must be something fishy about this!"

"Oh."

"Sister, are you really not interested?"

Yan Yunyi looked at Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu smiled and said, "How could I not be interested? Of course I'm interested! If my brother hears any rumors these days, he must share them with Shu'er as soon as possible..."

After hearing this, Yan Yunyi finally left with satisfaction.

But after he left, the smile on Yan Yunshu's face still remained.

It turns out that after not seeing each other for the past two days, Xu Jinghuai has come up with another big move to show the world.

I wonder what He Zhixiao felt after seeing the notice issued by the East Palace?

……

He Mansion.

Lord He held his concubine's daughter He Zhixiao and sighed deeply, feeling full of emotion.

"I never thought that my Xiao'er would be so powerful and have earned such great military merits. My Xiao'er has a bright future, a bright future!"

He Zhixiao's biological mother was overjoyed. "Yes, Master, our Xiao'er is not only a great hero of Tianze, but also favored by the Prince of Hansha. She is a female general loved by two countries. There has never been such a woman since ancient times. Master, Xiao'er has made you proud."

"Well, it's a great honor." Lord He waved his hand, his face full of joy, "Starting tomorrow, hold a grand banquet and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the mansion."

He Zhixiao always had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Hearing this, I became anxious.

He quickly stopped her and said, "No need, no need."

"Oh! Xiao'er... Mother knows you are sensible and want to keep a low profile in everything, but Xiao'er, this matter concerns your father's reputation, so you can't keep a low profile!"

He Zhixiao's biological mother, Zhang, pulled He Zhixiao aside and whispered, "Xiao'er, don't be willful. This matter should be handled with great fanfare. Let everyone in the world know what kind of woman I am. Besides, your father wants to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We can take this opportunity to..."

As Zhang spoke, she quietly stretched out two fingers and made a gesture.

He Zhixiao understood instantly.

Is this a trick to make His Highness become involved in a fait accompli with me without knowing it?

But the content of today's notice clearly meant that Xu Jinghuai already knew the truth of the matter, and also knew that he had obtained the jade pendant by secretly intercepting Yan Yunshu's letter.

In this case, even if they had defended each other on the battlefield, risking their lives for each other, they would still be angry with each other, so how could they let him get what he wanted?

How could he attend the banquet to congratulate himself for his military achievements?

Isn't this ridiculous?

"Xiao'er, just listen to your mother. I will go and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lord He said this and ran towards the East Palace without waiting for He Zhixiao's response.

He Zhixiao was still distressed and panicked.

But then Zhang said, "If we can persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it means that Xiao'er holds a position in His Royal Highness's heart that no one can match!"

"Yes! That girl is the best candidate for the Crown Princess!"

The maidservant beside Zhang suddenly spoke.

These words made He Zhixiao's heart move.

She ran out of the house and looked at the carriage going away, her heart beating like thunder.

I am both nervous and looking forward to my father's return.

To the point that she was shaking violently and sweating all over.

Zhang held her hands and led her to sit on a carved pearwood chair in the corridor of the courtyard. She wiped the sweat from her face and asked the maid to bring her a cup of hot tea.

His face was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Xiao'er, mother knows that you have loved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since you were a child. Now that your wish is about to come true, why are you still so nervous?"

"I...I'm not nervous."

He Zhixiao tried desperately to control his trembling hands.

Unexpectedly, the hands shook even more severely.

Zhang, who knew nothing about this, continued to laugh and said, "I'm nervous now. What if Xiao'er becomes the Crown Princess or the Queen one day? What will we do then?"

I heard the words "Crown Princess" and "Empress".

An unprecedented wave of heat and a greedy desire for the imperial power and high position were stirred in He Zhixiao's heart.

Her eyes finally lit up.

My hands don't shake anymore.

She looked at Zhang firmly and said, "If His Royal Highness is really willing to attend the banquet, Mother will definitely make it happen for him and me."

Seeing that He Zhixiao had regained his composure.

Zhang was overjoyed. "Xiao'er doesn't have to worry about what mother is doing. Even if it's the Crown Prince who remains calm even when faced with a beautiful woman, mother can handle him."

He Zhixiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

In late autumn, although there is warm sunshine, the fragrant air is still mixed with coolness.

An autumn breeze blew the fallen leaves past.

She shuddered violently and quickly wrapped her clothes tightly around her.

Together with Zhang, we looked towards the mansion gate from afar.

"Your father just left, there's no rush."

Zhang ordered the servants to put a cloak on He Zhixiao, and then looked at He Zhixiao's eyes which were all red.

He couldn't help but say, "Xiao'er, you should change your style from time to time. Even if you like red, you should try the simple and elegant style."
