After Xu Zhao took back the Green Blood Moon Mask, he returned to his tent. Shen Yu had already packed up and left.

She looked around at everything in the tent. It was simply decorated, but everything necessary was prepared. It was low-key and not luxurious, which was enough under these difficult conditions.

She recalled Shen Yu's tent. The configuration of her tent was basically very similar to that of Shen Yu's tent, which seemed to be Shen Yu's special care for her.

If Shen Yu was more strict with her, he could have let her live in the same room with the cooks. You know, in the military camp, except for the general and those deputy generals, everyone else sleeps on a big bunk bed.

Being able to sleep in this single room now is indeed the best treatment Shen Yu has given her.

In order to repay Shen Yu, Xu Zhao naturally would not be stingy with his skills.

For several days in a row, Xu Zhao would go to the cafeteria to help. Sometimes, when he saw some ingredients, he would cook specially for Shen Yu and make him some dishes he had never eaten before.

Shen Yu had been eating delicacies from the palace since he was a child. Later, after he joined the army, the food was not as refined as before and he lived a life of simple meals. Now, after eating the dishes made by Xu Zhao, he found them novel.

Moreover, after eating such delicious food, Shen Yu felt that his sense of happiness had improved, and his boring daily life seemed to become lively.

The weather at the border was good, and for several days Xu Zhao saw the scene described in ancient poetry: "The smoke rises straight from the vast desert, and the sun sets over the long river."

The most primitive natural scenery is indeed beautiful, but there is too much pollution in modern society, and it is really difficult to see such beautiful scenery again.

It's a pity that this place is located on the frontier. After leaving the military camp, just a little further ahead, you will reach the border between the two countries. Shen Yu has repeatedly reminded us that the border between the two countries is very dangerous and not to step into it. Even though she can't ride a horse now, the seed of wanting to ride a horse here has been planted in her heart.

The night at the border is also beautiful, and the stars in the sky are brighter and clearer than those in the city.

Xu Zhao didn't expect that her journey through time and space would bring her such an unexpected gain.

She treated this time-travel journey as a vacation, a vacation away from city life, the Internet and mobile phones. Even though this kind of life became a little boring after too long, she began to miss the life of a slave at work.

Just like when I was studying, I wanted to study when I had holidays, and I wanted to have holidays when I was studying.

……

One day, Xu Zhao came to Shen Yu's tent to eat as usual.

Shen Yu finally asked the question in his heart, "Are you the legitimate daughter of your family? If so, why do you cook so many dishes?"

He had thought before that the daughter of a noble family would be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting and needlework would naturally be no problem, but she would probably only know a little about cooking.

"In our time, monogamy is practiced, and there's no longer any such thing as legitimate sons or daughters. I'm the only daughter in my family."

Xu Zhao thought since he was bored anyway, he might as well talk about his own life. "My father is a professor at a prestigious academy. He is a man of profound knowledge and has many students all over the world. My mother is a highly skilled doctor. Many patients have recovered after being treated by her. We are considered a family of scholars."

When she talked about her parents, her face was full of pride and honor.

After Xu Zhao's brainwashing, Shen Yu had completely accepted that in her era, women could leave home and do whatever they wanted. Anything men could do, women could do as well.

However, no one expected that in the future, men would no longer be allowed to have three wives and four concubines. In monogamous situations, all children born in wedlock would be considered legitimate, so this saying would no longer exist.

"But my parents were very busy with work, so I developed my independence from a young age and gradually learned to do laundry and cook. As I grew older, my parents became busier, so I took on a lot of the housework," Xu Zhao smiled. "Our family situation is quite interesting. My parents take care of the outside world, and I take care of the inside."

"Sometimes when I cook a lot of delicious food and watch them finish eating it, I feel very happy. That's how I feel. I think this is happiness, the happiness of being a family together."

After Shen Yu heard Xu Zhao's thoughts, his eyes darkened instantly.

He had once experienced the happiness of being together as a family, but unfortunately, he could no longer experience it.

Xu Zhao noticed Shen Yu's mood swings.

Considering his status as a member of an imperial family, he has no control over many things.

"Did I say anything to hurt you?"

Xu Zhao speaks very bluntly.

During the time they've been together, she felt that Shen Yu was a steady and dignified person. Apart from occasionally getting angry, she had never seen him in a low mood.

After a few days of getting along, Xu Zhao has completely mastered the way to get along with Shen Yu. When communicating with this person, you have to be direct.

Perhaps it was because of the contact during this period, Xu Zhao's ideas, which were different from those of ordinary people, always gave Shen Yu new ideas.

Shen Yu had already believed that Xu Zhao might really be from the future, and was also certain that she was not a spy. The two chatted without any scruples.

"I am my father's youngest son. My father and mother have been very kind to me. I have lived a life of luxury since I was a child. They protect me in every way, fearing that I would get hurt. From a young age, I have lived a life of luxury."

But it was precisely because of this kind of life and his father's favor for him that he finally chose to come to the border.

Although the initial days were really hard, he still managed to get through it.

"Perhaps you can read in history books that my father once considered deposing my brother as the Crown Prince and making me the heir apparent, second only to the emperor. However, since ancient times, the crown prince has been appointed according to the eldest son, and he is my brother. He has never done anything detrimental to the people or the country, so how could I compete with him for the crown prince position? So, at the age of fourteen, I came to the border. My brother stayed in the imperial court, doing his job, and I stayed here to protect this land for him."

"Even if you are far away from the palace, as long as you want to go back and write a letter, you can go back and reunite with your father, the emperor, and your mother, the empress."

Fourteen years old, for a modern person, is probably still in junior high school, but for Shen Yu, it means he has already started fighting on the battlefield.

"A year ago, not long after you and I first met, I received a letter from my mother saying that my father was critically ill. I rushed back to the imperial city at full speed. Perhaps it was the Moon Goddess' blessing that I saw my father for the last time, which was considered my filial duty. After my brother, the Crown Prince, ascended the throne, I accompanied him to bury my father in the imperial mausoleum, and then I rushed back to the border."

Only if he leaves will the Crown Prince be free from worries. If he stays in the imperial city, the Crown Prince will probably remember the experience of being almost deposed.

Only by staying away from the court, those court officials who once supported him would wholeheartedly assist his good brother who served the country and the people.
