Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Chapter 96 The General's Intentions

Ye Li looked at her in disbelief. How could she know that she wasn't the original Ye Li?

Who is she?

Ye Li firmly wrote on the table: It's me.

The woman opposite her looked at her and then said:

"I have no ill intentions towards you, I'm just curious."

"It's okay if you don't want to admit it."

"Since we've met today, let me remind you again: if you want to live a long life, leave Tian Shu Kingdom."

Princess Mingzhu looked at her with a gaze that seemed to pierce through her, her eyes filled with pity:

"Go as far away as possible, disaster is coming here soon."

Ye Li didn't know why, but this princess insisted on reminding her to leave.

She sensed that the woman opposite her meant her no harm.

But she was too mysterious.

Even after getting off the carriage, Ye Li was still completely confused.

She looked at the exceptionally precious pearl necklace in her hand.

I was momentarily confused—why did I receive another gift?

As she stepped off the carriage, the princess gave her the gift around her neck and said:

"If you encounter difficulties and don't know where to go, head towards the grasslands."

"I am willing to form an alliance with you."

Ye Li alighted from the carriage, and after the maidservant bowed respectfully, she walked straight away.

It seems like I really just happened to be passing by.

The little beggar stepped forward, looked at the bright pearl in her hand, and said with sharp eyes:

"Is this what Princess Mingzhu gave you?"

“These days I’ve heard people on the street say that she owns a lot of jewelry and is the most favored princess of the grassland king.”

"And there are rumors that she has visited a pilgrimage temple."

Ye Li thought: Probably so, she really is a mysterious princess.

Ye Li had lost interest in shopping and decided to head home.

General's Mansion.

study.

Ru Feng had been watching the general for a long time, but the general hesitated to put pen to paper.

Seeing his restless appearance, Ru Feng took the initiative to ask:

"General, is something troubling you?"

Xiao Ziming, who was standing nearby, also noticed this and stepped forward:

"What troubles you, General? Please tell me."

After thinking for a long time, Mo Chen finally asked frankly:

“I have a friend who has recently had a conflict with his wife and doesn’t know how to resolve it.”

Zi Mo respectfully replied, "It is inappropriate for Zi Mo to pry into the affairs of other people's marriages."

Mo Chen could only say, "But he came to me, and I'm quite troubled."

Ru Feng asked, "What is troubling you?"

"His wife was so beautiful that she attracted the covetous eyes of others."

Ru Feng said, "That's easy. Just don't let this lady go out."

Mo Chen pondered for a moment and said:

"His wife was no ordinary young lady who stayed indoors all the time..."

Ye Li is now a Lady of the Imperial Decree, and if she insists on going out to play, even I cannot keep her confined at home.

Zi Mo was not as straightforward as Feng. After listening for a while, he knew roughly who the lady the general was talking about was.

Zi Mo said respectfully, "What the general said is indeed quite troublesome, but if it is like our lady, then it will be easy to handle."

Mo Chen gestured for him to continue.

"Madam is straightforward and magnanimous. Observing her usual conduct, one can tell that she is not concerned with trivial matters. If anyone covets our lady, she will surely be loyal to you, General."

Mo Chen listened and remained silent for a long time before asking.

"Do you think Li'er likes me now, or Mo Chen from before?"

Ru Feng was confused: "Whether it's a general or a general who has lost his memory due to poisoning, he's still a general! The lady is always with the general."

Zi Mo finally realized that the general was getting stuck on a rut.

"How about this, General? Have you ever heard of the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon?"

Zi Mo continued, "Lovers who make wishes at the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon will grow old together and be of one heart and mind. Why don't you take your wife to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon, General?"

Ru Feng said, "It just so happens that the court's opinion of the general has been quite good lately, so you can relax a bit!"

Mo Chen listened to everyone's opinions.

I thought to myself: It's worth going to take a look.

So when Ye Li returned, Mo Chen told her that he would take her to the temple the next day.

Ye Li readily agreed when she heard that they were going out to play.

Having money and free time to travel and enjoy life is a great pleasure!

The next day.

The weather was fine and sunny, perfect for an outing.

Mo Chen helped Ye Li into the carriage, and Ye Li immediately realized that this was a truly meticulously prepared event.

The carriage was filled with pastries that Ye Li loved.

On the way, Mo Chen even fanned her personally and asked her if she was hot.

Ye Li wasn't too particular; she was just excited about going out to play.

Strangely enough, Mo Chen wore matching outfits with her again today!

Since he woke up after being detoxified, he rarely asks her what she's wearing today.

But before she went out today, a maid asked her what color clothes she should wear so that the general could match them.

Ye Li was eating sweet potato pancakes in the car.

Could it be that Mo Chen has changed his nature?

Or did you remember something?

Mo Chen suddenly told her, "Don't move."

Then he leaned in close.

Ye Li was confused and froze.

Then Mo Chen wiped her lips.

"You have something on your face."

Ye Li suddenly remembered that Mo Chen used to eat on the street.

Then something got on my lips.

Unexpectedly, it's my turn now, but the roles we used to play have been reversed.

Thinking of this, I laughed.

In Mo Chen's eyes, the girl in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as white as snow.

Her appearance, without makeup or jewelry, was refreshingly sweet.

He felt his heart pounding faster and faster...

Seeing Mo Chen looking at her, Ye Li assumed he wanted some, and said generously, "Do you want some? There's more."

miss you.

but--

Mo Chen didn't reach for the sweet potato cake on the table, but instead took another bite from the one she had already bitten.

In an instant, their breaths mingled together, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Ye Li was momentarily shocked...

Isn't this an indirect kiss?

Is this Mo Chen after he grew up?

Only Mo Chen would act like that.

Only Mo Chen would enjoy making these little gestures...

Ye Li was momentarily puzzled.

She was staring at the half-eaten pancake, unsure whether to eat it or not.

Her face gradually turned red...

At that moment, the young general's magnetic voice rang in my ears: "You... don't want to eat?"

Ye Li was instantly startled and panicked, so she swallowed the remaining half of the pancake whole and stuffed it into her mouth.

She dared not look at him, glancing around everywhere, her mouth bulging out like a little hamster.

She pouted and nodded.

She was so nervous that she accidentally choked...

A soft cough was heard from inside the carriage.

Mo Chen immediately handed her water and pulled Ye Li into his arms.

He soothed her back and patted it gently.

In the past, when Mo Chen was naughty, Ye Li would pat him on the back.

But today it was Mo Chen who was taking care of her again...

Mo Chen noticed that she had stopped coughing.

He continued to hold Ye Li in his arms, showing no intention of putting her down.

Then, Mo Chen took out a delicate little box from his pocket.

“I noticed that you don’t usually wear jewelry, but you seem to like pearls.”

"This is the one I had someone find and have made into this ring."

Ye Li saw that inside the box was an exquisite pearl ring.

Next to the pearl is a landscape and cloud pattern forged in silver, along with fish and auspicious clouds.

To her surprise, there was no ring in the box.

It's a pair of matching rings!

Wedding rings...

The women's version features pearls, while the men's version only has a landscape and cloud pattern.

Mo Chen said to her:

"Do you like it? If not, I can have someone take it back and modify it."

Ye Li took out the pair of women's shoes inlaid with pearls.

The patterns on them are very exquisite, and the carvings are very beautiful.

The ring is consistent with the General's Mansion's consistent principle of being low-key; only a close look can reveal its mystery.

Mo Chen explained, "These are a pair. When you put them together, they will form a complete pattern."

Then, after he put the two rings together, Ye Li saw that the cloud and water patterns were indeed a painting, and one that she had painted before.

He actually made it into a pair of rings!

Because the mountains in the painting are cut out, the men's ring will have one corner protruding, while the women's ring will have one part recessed, so that the positions will not easily shift when they are put together.

What an exquisite pair of wedding rings.

It's full of ingenious design, with gemstones even inlaid in the inner circle.

One red and one blue.

It is embedded in the innermost part.

Ye Li felt that he must have put a lot of thought into these matching rings.

Mo Chen asked her:

"I don't know much about these things, but I'll do my best for you."

Ye Li liked it very much.

She couldn't help but smile, then blushed and nodded.

Mo Chen received an affirmative answer, which emboldened him.

A moment later, he took her hand and put the ring on her finger.

Their hands were intertwined.
