With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Li Kui started reporting before he even walked into the house.

While running, he described vividly:

"Sir, Princess Mingyue is currently hiding in a small manor outside of Jingzhou City!"

"That manor is so hidden! If it weren't for my sharp nose, I would have almost missed it!"

When Lu Yan heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This little girl is quite good at hiding. Bring her back!"

Before Li Kui had a chance to rest, he received another order and left.

When we arrived at the manor, we found Princess Mingyue and Chen Qingwan drinking tea and chatting in the garden, looking very pleasant.

"Princess, please hurry back to Shannan Prefecture with me. My family is waiting anxiously!"

Li Kui advised earnestly.

Princess Mingyue waved her hand.

"No, no, I'm not going back! I want to stay here and develop Jingzhou with Sister Chen!"

Li Kui was stunned when he heard this.

"Develop Jingzhou? You're a princess of Beixiang Kingdom, and you're following us from Datong to develop Jingzhou. What kind of thing is that?"

"Would your father be furious if he knew?"

Chen Qingwan also smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. She gracefully put down the teacup and said softly:

"General Li, Princess Mingyue is our guest in Jingzhou. You should feel at home. There is no need to rush back."

Li Kui scratched his head, looked at Princess Mingyue, and then at Chen Qingwan, not knowing what to do.

He said awkwardly:

"Miss Chen, you may not know that my master is extremely worried, fearing that something bad might happen to the princess!"

Princess Mingyue snorted softly.

"Humph, who made him keep fighting with you guys? I can't stop him even if I try to persuade him!"

Li Kui scratched his head. "The fight is over! Your father has sent someone to Shannan Prefecture to pick you up!"

When Princess Mingyue heard this, her eyes lit up.

"It's over? Really?"

Li Kui patted his chest and assured, "Of course it's true! How could I lie to you?"

Princess Mingyue hesitated again.

"Then...then I won't go back either. It's fine here."

Li Kui was dumbfounded. "Really?"

"Really!" Princess Mingyue nodded affirmatively.

Li Kui slapped his thigh.

"That's great! I'll go back and tell you, sir, that you don't want to marry him!"

When Princess Mingyue heard the word "marriage", she immediately got furious.

"Marriage? With Lord Lu?"

"Yes!" Li Kui said as a matter of course.

"Your father sent people here this time to seek peace, and by the way, he also wants to marry our master."

After Princess Mingyue confirmed it, she felt as if she had heard the most beautiful music in the world.

She grabbed Li Kui's strong arm, and her excited little face was like a ripe apple, red and sparkling.

"Then I'll go back with you! I want a marriage!"

She shouted excitedly, her voice as clear as a silver bell, making Li Kui's eardrums buzz.

She didn't care about anything and was like a happy little rabbit.

Holding up her gorgeous skirt, she ran all the way towards the carriage.

She didn't even bother to take care of her luggage, which shows how strong her desire for marriage was!

That’s Lord Lu Yanlu!

Handsome, talented in both civil and military affairs, he is simply the prince charming in her dreams!

"Let's go! What are you standing there for? Take me to find my ideal husband!"

Princess Mingyue poked her little head out and urged Li Kui, who was still standing there in a daze, in an anxious tone.

There was a glimmer of anticipation in those big, watery eyes.

It seemed as if she had already seen the scene of herself and Lu Yan living happily together.

Li Kui was surprised by the princess's enthusiasm. It was the first time he saw such a proactive princess.

For a moment, I was unable to react.

He stood there blankly, like a wooden stake, until Princess Mingyue urged him again, and he finally woke up from his dream.

He quickly said "goodbye" to the elegant Chen Qingwan.

Then he jumped onto the carriage, raised the whip and whipped the horse's butt hard.

The horse felt pain and spread out its four hooves to gallop towards Shannan Prefecture.

Chen Qingwan stood there in a daze, the teacup in her hand tilted slightly.

A few drops of tea splashed onto her plain dress, but she was completely unaware.

Lu Yan, want to marry Princess Mingyue?

These words kept echoing in her mind, like a bolt of thunder that split the calm lake of her heart and stirred up a thousand waves.

Thinking back to when she first met Lu Yan, he was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic, and saved her from danger in the midst of chaos.

At that time, his eyes were determined and nothing could stop him from moving forward.

Later, when Jingzhou was initially settled, he took off his battle robe and put on a scholar's robe.

The cholera was wiped out in the midst of laughter and conversation, which made him look even more elegant and graceful.

She admired his talent and respected his ability, and before she knew it, she had fallen in love with him.

She thought that there was some kind of tacit understanding between them, an unspoken feeling.

She once fantasized that when the world was at peace, she would let go of everything.

She retired to the mountains with him and lived a pastoral life with men farming and women weaving.

But now, this sudden news shattered all her fantasies.

Marriage, what a cold word it is. It represents interests but not love.

Princess Mingyue is the princess of Beixiang Kingdom. She is of noble status and is the apple of everyone's eye.

And how could she, who had the whole world at her feet, compare with him?

She smiled bitterly. It turned out that all this was just her wishful thinking.

Lu Yan had never expressed any affection to her. It was she who was being too sentimental.

A breeze blew by, blowing off a few peach petals, which landed on her shoulders.

She slowly raised her head and looked in the direction where Princess Mingyue was leaving.

There was a hint of loneliness and unwillingness in his eyes.

And deep blessings.

Maybe this is fate.

……

After returning to Shannan Prefecture, Princess Mingyue went straight to Lu Yan's study as soon as she got off the carriage, without even notifying him.

"Master Lu! I want to marry you!"

Princess Mingyue stood at the door of the study and announced loudly.

Lu Yan was reviewing documents at his desk and was startled by the sudden sound.

The pen in my hand fell to the ground.

He raised his head and looked at Princess Mingyue, who was standing at the door with a threatening look on his face, with a confused look on his face.

Is this little girl out of her mind?

"Princess Mingyue, how can such a serious matter as marriage be treated as a joke?"

Lu Yan explained patiently.

"Besides, I already have a lover, so I cannot agree to the princess's request."

When Princess Mingyue heard this, her face immediately fell and her eyes turned red.

"You have a crush? Who is it? Which vixen dares to seduce my Lord Lu!"

She stamped her foot angrily, causing her gorgeous skirt to sway.

Lu Yan couldn't help but think of Chen Qingwan and suddenly laughed.

If Miss Chen heard someone say she was a vixen, wouldn't she be furious?

Princess Mingyue is really domineering.

"Cough cough,"

Lu Yan cleared his throat and tried hard to maintain a serious expression.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. My beloved is gentle and virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered. She is definitely not a vixen."
