Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Upon hearing this, Hongling immediately wiped away the tears in her eyes and revealed a joyful expression.

He smiled at Li Tingting and said, "Yes, thank you, Miss."

Chunmei stepped forward with a giggle.

"Hongling, congratulations on being a couple from now on!"

"Hmph! You little rascal, all you ever do is act all mischievous and eccentric."

I'll find you a family to marry off someday.

Li Tingting threatened him, feigning anger.

Upon hearing this, Chunmei immediately became anxious and quickly sat down next to Li Tingting.

He grabbed her hand and pleaded, "No! Miss, I won't get married!"

"I'm your personal maid; I'll go wherever you go."

Hongling, however, beamed with joy and immediately clapped her hands in glee.

"Great! Great! Let her bully me all the time."

"Alright, you two girls, stop fooling around. Go and check on the affairs of the manor."

Li Tingting was getting a headache from the two of them and wanted to be alone for a while.

He then found an excuse to send them away, and Chunmei and Hongling obeyed and left.

But they continued to laugh and chatter on the way.

Sigh! People are really strange. When you're single...

She thinks about having a boyfriend and escaping singlehood all the time.

Now that they're all in couples, they've started to miss their single days.

Li Tingting watched Chunmei and the other woman's departing figures, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

He picked up a small pebble and threw it into the pond not far away with a "plop".

Water splashed everywhere, startling the fish and causing them to dart about in all directions.

A slight smile played on her lips as she recalled her first meeting with the Fifth Prince.

I can't forget the first time I met him, his deep gaze.

And then there was the defiant look on his face after she beat him up.

Thinking of this, a smile reappeared on Li Tingting's face.

But I also felt a pang of pity for him. Humph, what a fool.

Why are you so easily trusting? You believe everything Zhou Kuangfei says?

You deserve to get a beating from me!

She then stood up again and continued walking forward.

Following the bluestone bricks, you arrive at the garden, where a gentle breeze is blowing.

Amidst the fragrant aroma of flowers, a pink peach blossom was blown to the ground by a gentle breeze.

A strange sadness suddenly welled up in Li Tingting's heart.

As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever.

What if that scoundrel Fifth Prince treats me badly after I marry into the palace?

That day, the dog emperor made it very clear to her.

In the future, the fifth prince will inherit his throne, becoming the supreme ruler like the fifth prince.

And with such a handsome and dashing appearance, could he resist the temptation and not pursue a harem?

Even if the Fifth Prince didn't want to,

Wouldn't the women in the palace try every means to throw themselves into his arms?

Li Tingting slapped her head hard with her hand.

She cursed herself for being so foolish; no wonder people often say that women in love...

Their IQs are all the lowest.

Oh dear! What should I do? Li Tingting's face immediately fell.

He stamped his foot and walked out of the garden.

Unexpectedly, after walking only a few steps, they encountered a couple.

She looked nervous and hurried towards us, carrying her child.

The couple were servants in the general's mansion; the woman was cursing and swearing.

"You silly boy, how could you be so careless? If I hadn't accidentally gotten my clothes wet just now..."

When we went back and changed his clothes, we didn't even realize that my son had such a high fever.

I'm telling you, if my son were to... Miss, I...

"Okay, it's alright, go take your child to the doctor quickly!"

In ancient times, medical conditions were poor, and even a child's fever or cold could cause serious illness.

Adults would be extremely anxious, and Li Tingting understood how the two of them felt at that moment.

So they didn't pay much attention to it, and instead told them to go see a doctor as soon as possible.

"Yes, yes, Miss Xie, thank you!"

The couple, looking panicked, hurried along, carrying their feverish child.

Upon suddenly bumping into Li Tingting, he immediately panicked.

But after her instructions, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon, thanked her repeatedly, and left in a hurry.

After the two walked away, the man comforted the woman with a pained expression.

"My lady, please calm down! You don't know, he was perfectly fine at noon."

Who knew that while I was out busy this afternoon, he would get such a high fever.

"I don't care, if my son doesn't get better by tomorrow, you'll see how I deal with you."

The anxious woman, however, showed no appreciation whatsoever and walked ahead angrily.

Li Tingting watched their retreating figures, then shook her head and smiled.

The scene of her and the Fifth Prince at the bottom of the cliff that day flashed through her mind.

"Tingting, from the moment I met you..."

You have taken root in my heart, and I can't get rid of you.

Taking concubines, having three palaces and six courtyards—that's absolutely impossible!

From beginning to end, all I could think about was you.

My elder brother's actions have absolutely nothing to do with me.

As for the throne, it's dispensable to me.

As long as I have you by my side in this life, even if I live as an ordinary person, I will be content.

I swear to God, I will only love you in this life.

I will never let you suffer the slightest injustice. If you disobey, may you be struck by lightning!

Li Tingting's face flushed, and the corners of her mouth turned up. "Hmph! You'd better keep your word!"

Otherwise, even if you become emperor, I'll still beat you up!

Thinking of this, she perked up again and walked briskly into the house.

Li Tingting returned to the room, just as she picked up her teacup and took a small sip...

Before I could even put it down, I saw servants hurrying by outside the door.

His expression held a mixture of excitement and respect.

"Miss, great news! The Emperor has sent a palace eunuch to deliver your betrothal gifts!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingting was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise and shyness flashed in her eyes.

She quickly got up, straightened her clothes, and followed the servants briskly toward the gate of the mansion.

Before the mansion gate, a long and orderly procession stood.

Boxes of exquisite betrothal gifts gleamed in the sunlight.

Upon seeing Li Tingting emerge, the head eunuch hurried forward, beaming as he read out the imperial decree.

The gist is that the Emperor attaches great importance to this marriage.

The royal family bestowed generous betrothal gifts to express their sincerity.

After the reading was completed, Li Tingting bowed slightly in gratitude.

His gaze then fell upon the mountain of betrothal gifts.

The first thing that catches the eye is a set of gold ornaments with phoenix patterns.

The golden phoenix was so lifelike that every feather was meticulously crafted.

Inlaid with rubies, sapphires and dazzling pearls,

It gleams in the sunlight, as if it could take flight at any moment.

It is said that this phoenix ornament was crafted by the palace's top artisans over several months.

This symbolizes Li Tingting's future noble status in the palace.

Beside it are ten pieces of top-grade Shu brocade, with vibrant colors and a smooth, flowing texture.

The brocade is embroidered with auspicious patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, and a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

The needlework is exquisite and ingenious.

This type of Shu brocade, which is extremely rare and valuable in ordinary households, is now used as a betrothal gift.

There were as many as ten horses, demonstrating the wealth and power of the royal family.

Then look at that row of vermilion lacquered wooden boxes,

Once opened, it contained a dazzling array of jewelry.

There is a jade bracelet with excellent translucency, and the whole body is emerald green, as if it contains a pool of clear spring water;

There is a hairpin made of mutton-fat white jade, warm and delicate to the touch.

The hairpin head is also inlaid with a large luminous pearl.

It emits a soft light in the darkness;

There was also a pearl necklace, each pearl round and full.

They are uniform in size and have a warm, lustrous color; they are said to be top-quality specimens harvested from the depths of the South China Sea.

In addition to these, there are also rare spices.

Precious spices such as ambergris, agarwood, and sandalwood were packaged in exquisite glass bottles.

The fragrance is delicate and elegant, lingering in the air for a long time.

These spices are not only excellent for incense, but also symbols of status and taste.
