Bei Mo’s first snow came in the middle of the November
General Ze Yin chose this time to enter the Royal Residence, to report his retire of Bei Mo
“Why so sudden?” The Bei Mo King was no longer interested in adape at Ze Yin
Ze Yin replied, “The danger at the frontier has now passed, so Ze Yin should also fulfill his pro”
“No longer participating in military affairs so that you can acco nature unfold itself over the years, a of Bei Mo turned away, refusing to say anystill bear a grudge over the poisoning of Dong Lin’s two princes”
Ze Yin sighed heavily, lowering his voice “A women’s kindness should not interfere with national affairs anyway It’s not King’s fault”
“So it see can replace a good friend” The Bei Mo King had bitter smile as he nodded, “What else could I say? Oh well, oh well General Ze Yin, you may leave”
The Main General’s Residence in Bei Mo, in the n pulled away fro of Bei Mo had personally written
Ze Yin’s intentions in resigning had long been hinted within the residence as the crowd of servants had been with him for many years and were all fiercely loyal Wherever Ze Yin went, they would follow, so even when neas proved officially, the Residence was cal as they all packed their luggage the ready to leave Bei Yali
The snow continued to fall for seven days, no trace of stopping
The road to leave Bei Yali was snohite, while only a se wheels pressed against the snow, leaving two long tracks
One of the es in thehad her head lowered, looking at the baby in her ary, just like his father, who only slept after
A sweet smile formed at her lips as she put the baby on a tiny blanket, wrapping hi softly sneezed as she sat by the
“Asleep?” Ze Yinchild He was used to picking up swords and killing, but seeing this delicate, newborn baby, he could only think that he would hurt him whenever he tried to cuddle hi a father than his first ti on the battlefield
Yangfeng saw his expression and startled to chuckle softly, ether In a loving voice, she said, “Look at his nose and his little mouth He looks just like a little Ze Yin”
“His face looks like his mother’s” Ze Yin was joyous, “The son looks like the , it’s all thanks to you”
Yangfeng was stunned “Thanks to me?”
“It’s all thanks to you, otherwise, hoas I going to have such a cute son?”
“What are you saying?” Yangfeng was both angry and pleased Not wanting to wake the baby, she tugged at Ze Yin’s sleeve The two sat quietly on their seats, which were cushi+oned with thick fur Yangfeng lowered her voice, “Does Husband think I’m too stubborn?”
“Why would I?”
“Yangfeng forced Husband to leave his post as the Main General, even leaving Bei Yali to settle down elsewhere Yangfeng forced you to leave even though the snow hasn’t stopped, not tosaid that, that was far too stubborn of me”
Ze Yin laughed, his voice deep and soft, while his large, rough hand stroked Yangfeng’s face He asked, “Is there anyone else who could forceBei Yali was all your wish As it’s your wish, I would definitely do so, willingly” He paused, his voice softening “Besides, I know that you’re still feeling uneasy about what happened to Pingting Although the rewards froe each time”
At the ’s face turned sorrowful In a low voice, she said, “Yesterday night, I drea, not speaking I reached out to touch her, but she was like a shadow, so to think of a plan for Bei Mo”
“I know” Ze Yin pulled Yangfeng into his ar in his eyes “My country, Bei Mo, owes her deeply, yet they pushed all of the bla Lin’s two princes on her Ze Yin is far too ashamed to face her”
“She’s not willing to clear the ht “Ever since you searched up where Chu Beijie was living, I’ve already sent so her to clear up everything with Chu Beijie, that He Xia was the one who killed Chu Beijie’s two nephews But she hasn’t sent anything back to me”
“She should be under house arrest right now Could the letters we sent, weren’t delivered to her, but were collected by Chu Beijie’s people?”
Yangfeng shook her head, “Isn’t it better for Chu Beijie to see the He Xia right now, hly likely they still don’t knohat He Xia did I reckon Chu Beijie is too arrogant, that’s why he’s not stopping or peeking at Pingting’s letters I’ doesn’t plan to plead innocent?”
Ze Yin’s thick eyebrows creased, not understanding, “Since she knows that He Xia has changed, why is she still willing to be punished in place of him?”
Yangfeng see her position in Ze Yin’s arms, until she was able to hear her husband’s heartbeatchild not far away, as she sighed softly “Being disappointed in so knows this very well, that the moment she says the truth, He Xia will i Lin How is that any different fro him? Their friendshi+ps built over the past fifteen years won’t be broken so easily”
Yangfeng’s voice got softer and softer, as if her thoughts were eventi, “I’ to solve the s for her instead Sigh, just how can a man’s heart be tested?”
Ze Yin heard the sadness in her tone He was very worried that she’d get sick, as it hadn’t been ave birth and there were too ly, he assured her “Don’t think about it too h I’ve retired, it’s not like I don’t have any influence If Pingting has any needs, we can definitely help her”
“I hope that God will protect Pingting” Yangfeng pressed her hands together at her chest, praying
Ze Yin’s group of carriages advanced slowly on the snow-covered ground, while the sky was full of fireworks outside the Royal Residence of the country of Yun Chang
The Royal Residence was covered in red silk, while the owns, flowed in and out of the roo in all sorts of colourful desserts
The joyful sound of drums travelled frohbourhood, causing the peasants of Yun Chang to gather and discuss
“Princess is going to marry!”
“Heh, our Yun Chang finally has a prince consort?”
“There should’ve been a prince consort ages ago Although the Princess is pretty clever, but as a woht? It’s better to find a husband and settle down, giving birth to a son too”
“Hahaha, that makes sense”
“Having said that, our Princess has quite a good taste Ever since the King died, the nuh to trample down the Royal Residence’s doorThe Princess refused everyone, but chose this one”
“Yeah! Yeah! As expected of our Yun Chang’s Princess, to have such good taste With hier has to be afraid of Dong Lin’s Chu Beijie and Bei Mo’s Ze Yin! Hahaha, come, let’s cheer for the Princess and the Prince Consort with a little wine!”
The ushed freely out of their containers
Gui Changqing crossed through the crowds of butterfly-like rand courtier dress, towards a s in the western part of the Royal Residence
TheRoyal Residence, Luyi, happened to be standing at the entrance, while instructing two ift, Double Golden Phoenix Belt, sent a few days ago Also, go get some dry hawthorn and remember to place theets exactly ninety-nine slices of dry hawthorn Re this clear, today is an important day, if any of you dare ” She said this all in one breath and when she turned around, seeing Gui Changqing, she hurriedly smiled “Senior Official Gui, please co for a while, but Senior Official just hadn’t cooing to welcome My Lady
Gui Changqing s into the room
The sh outside was full of joyous music, here, it was all just unclear, residual sounds Reaching the curtains, she saw a thin figure sitting alone in front of the h them
Gui Changqing already heard Princess Yaotian’s familiar, crisp voice before she drew back the curtains “Please come in, Senior Official”
Gui Changqing pushed the curtains back, walking until she was standing in front of the mirror
The Princess in the lae a chain of pearls, that wouldn’t stop shaking, but none of this ht in her eyes
Princess Yaotian put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand, studying herself carefully in the bronze mirror She joked, softly, “Senior Official, has Yaotian dressed up prettily enough?”
Gui Changqing looked at her attentively, nodding “Absolutely stunning” There was a pause Then, as if there was soh “Princess is finally going to irl who liked to make all of the Residence’s maids run after her, until they were breathless, is soon to have a husband Time sure flies Is Princess happy?”
“Happy and worried at the same time” Yaotian looked at herself in thewas like reaching into a black hole There isn’t a way to tell whether what you pull out is a rare treasure, or a deadly snake Senior Official is the ’s Royal House If it hadn’t been for Senior Official’s help ever since Father died, I would’ve never been able to deal with national affairs I want to ask Senior Official a question, so please give me a truthful reply”
Gui Changqing replied in a distinct voice, “Go ahead, Princess”
“When I chose He Xia, the officials and peasants were happy but as Senior Official so worried about it for several days?”
Gui Changqing hadn’t thought that Princess Yaotian would ask such a thing and she looked a little stunned, only replying aftera son Princess is ruling the political court as a woman and everyone understands that whoever , who can do whatever they want to with Yun Chang That’s why I was constantly warning Princess to be careful when choosing a husband, not so to its destruction”
“He Xia is useless?”
“Though Princess is perceptive too He Xia is currently frae”
“Although his faood faraceful, not to mention his rare talents In this period where the prospect of war is constantly hanging around, like a cloud, warriors were the e at this ti But…” Gui Changqing shook her head, her voice soft, “He’s too powerful, too a to be easy to keep thisperiods of time”
Princess Yaotian lowered her head, thinking In a hesitant voice, she asked, “If so, why didn’t Senior Official tell me in the past? I would always consider Senior Official’s opinions”
“Even if I said so, would Princess’ decision be changed?” Gui Changqing sighed, “I’ve been serving for twenty years and have known Princess since birth How could I not see if Princess had already hardened her heart to iron, fir?”
Princess Yaotian sucked her lips, thinking, then s “As expected of Senior Official It’s true that I wouldn’t have changed my opinion From the moment He Xia stepped into the Royal Residence, I had already decided that I wouldn’t irl doesn’t want tocalled a hero? Not to mention that there are far too less heroes, even if you’re lucky to meet one, you don’t dare to hope for too much”
