Traveling through an ancient military camp: Bao'er's survival song

Emperor Liu Xu, now standing, looked at the mass of kneeling figures on the ground, a burning rage beneath his calm surface. He had summoned Wu Peng'en this time, intending for him to help him tease his beloved brother Luo. He had told Wu that the five rascals he had given Luo didn't even require Wu's intervention; the eldest daughter of the Wu family, raised in seclusion, had already managed to win them over. After all, Wu Suining was renowned for her intelligence and had never even passed the imperial examinations. However, Wu had embarrassed the emperor first, which made Liu Xu somewhat curious about this eldest daughter of the Wu family.

The emperor forced himself to calm down, coldly uttered "Get out" to the kneeling Wu Peng'en, and then sat down to pick up the memorials beside him and begin to review them.

After leaving the palace, Wu Peng'en calmed down and realized that her concern had clouded her judgment and that she had done something wrong.

Meanwhile, Wu Suining, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, was unaware that she was in danger of being forced to enter the palace. Looking at Uncle Sun, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, she frowned and asked, "General Peng was chasing you that day? Why are you only saying this now?"

After saying that, he shook his head again and asked Liu Guang to help Sun Bo up, saying, "You have never shown yourself to Peng Zizheng, so he must have recognized the wine gourd on your waist. Keep the wine gourd, and everything else will remain the same."

After Uncle Sun left, Wu Suining had Yinzhu take Uncle Sun's wine gourd with her and went out the door.

The two, mistress and servant, did not ride horses or sit in sedan chairs. Instead, they strolled leisurely, browsing jewelry and fabric shops, until they reached the entrance of an alley. Aunt Zhou, who was still chatting and eating melon seeds at the alley entrance, spotted them immediately and went to greet them from afar: "Oh, Miss Ning is here? Jiao Niang has been cooped up at home, so it's just in time for you. Oh dear, Little Yin Zhu, you've gotten so thin! Come, come, have some melon seeds, Aunt Zhou made them fresh, they smell like tea." Aunt Zhou grabbed Yin Zhu's hand and stuffed a bag of melon seeds into it.

Wu Suining smiled and chatted with Aunt Zhou for a while, then turned into the alley, saw the familiar black lacquered gate, pushed it open and went inside.

Inside the room, Luo Jiaoniang, who was trying on various floral hairpins in front of the mirror, twitched her ears and sensed a vibration frequency on the floor beneath her feet that was imperceptible to ordinary people. She recognized the footsteps of Wu Suining and her maid Yinzhu. She put down her hairpins and rushed out like a butterfly, her voice sweet and coquettish: "Ning'er, why did you take so long to come? Waaah, do you know I almost died a while ago!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Suining stopped talking about her own affairs and quickly helped Luo Jiaoniang up, checking her over as she asked, "What happened? Why didn't you send me a message about something so important!"

Luo Jiao curled her lips and gave a charming "humph," gently pinching Wu Suining's fair wrist to lead her into the room: "It's all because of that master that our senior brother found for us. He's a brute. He can scare a child to death with just one shout. He called us over but gave us a long face and yelled at me. Waaah, I was so scared that six of my seven souls left my body. Waaah."

Upon hearing that this was just about this matter, Wu Suining smiled helplessly, then poked and shook Luo Jiaoniang's head, who was pretending to be on the verge of tears, with her finger, and said, "So, do you want me to believe you or not?"

Luo Jiaoniang stamped her feet and said coquettishly again, "Of course I believe you!"

Wu Suining immediately slammed her fist on the table in anger: "That scoundrel Peng Zizheng dared to frighten my beloved wife! Don't let me see him again, or I'll beat him every time I see him!"

Yin Zhu, who was serving them, was so engrossed in watching the two young ladies perform that he was speechless and couldn't bear to watch.
