Shen Qing slowly said, ”I owe Bi Zhenye a favor. It happened when he was young, but he doesn't seem to remember it anymore. Naturally, apart from this, we have no other interactions. ”
Siyan said: ”I'm afraid that I cannot support such a huge favor with regards to what happened when I was young. Little Qing, there is actually another reason behind this matter, there is no harm in telling you, but I hope you won't tell Bi Zhenye, because no one knows what the result will be. ”
Outside the Imperial City, Bi Zhenye stood in the cold wind. The bone-piercing cold wind blew into his neck, causing him to be exceptionally clear-headed.
He had been raised to live like a prince. In the winter, he had a charcoal stove to go with him, and in the summer, the servants with umbrellas and fans came and went. He had never suffered a single bit.
His memories suddenly drifted back to a very, very long time ago. He vaguely remembered one year when he was a child, in the late afternoon of the same year. He had accompanied his father and mother to the palace for a banquet, but somehow, he was tricked into going to the imperial garden and becoming the target of someone else's snowball fight.
On that day, when the cold snow had crawled down his neck, he was shivering from the cold. When the Palace Maid servants came to look for someone, and the children dispersed, he was drenched all over and almost wet his pants in fear.
He remembered seeing a girl by the roadside when he was being taken away by the court, and it was the girl who had tricked him into going to the royal garden.
The cold that day was much colder than the cold wind at that moment. Bi Zhenye shook his head and laughed.
At this moment, the palace door opened, and Palace Maid s clustered around Shen Qing as they walked over. The servants of the Duke Palaces immediately went up to welcome them, but she ordered everyone to withdraw, and walked straight towards Bi Zhenye.
Bi Zhenye was in a daze as he watched the elegant and gentle girl walk towards him. He remembered that the person who had tricked him into being a snow target back then seemed to be the Princess.
Shen Qing bowed slightly, and immediately saluted with her hands folded in front, only to hear her say: ”I have tried my best with regards to Miss, I am extremely sorry, but it is not possible to disobey Imperial decree. ”But there's still some time before we get married. Young master Bi, let's think of a way.”
Bi Zhenye was not disappointed, he had already forced his into a corner. He had only met Princess a few times, yet he had actually begged her to do such a difficult thing, or maybe... Bi Zhenye looked at Princess. Could it be that he just wanted to meet her?
In the palace, Shen Qing had only just left when the emperor came back from the Qingming Pavilion. She was originally just taking a break to play with her daughter.
After knowing that his cousin had come over, and hearing Siyan had explained her intentions for coming here, Xiang Run laughed: ”Little Little Qing is the most kind-hearted and obedient girl, extremely similar to Second Sister. How could a girl like this harm others so much that she would become a target for others?”
Siyan laughed and asked, ”At that time, why didn't you remember about it when the Emperor was the same age?”
Xiang Run said: ”When I was young, I was a bookworm. All I ever did was study.
Siyan shook her head. ”Your Majesty's life is truly boring.”
Xiang Run disapprovingly said: ”This year, when it snows, you'll accompany me to have a snowball fight?”
The empress knew in her heart that if they fought with Xiluo, they would definitely not be able to rest during the winter. Furthermore, they would be leaving very soon, and it was very likely that they would start a war right by the seaside.
For the first time in his life, the Emperor went to war with no chance of winning. However, this was in the Daqi, if one could not defeat those bandits that had landed here, the surrounding countries would definitely rejoice in the misfortune of others, and be ready to take action.
He had to win this battle no matter what.
The days passed one by one as Dong Ri's footsteps grew more hurried. His Daqi stretched across a vast area and the northernmost area had already been covered with snow.
Finally, after ten days, they arrived at the coastal area. The weather here was warm and humid, and when Xiaowan went out, he even brought some winter clothes along with him.
General Wei brought his men to the ship to pick up the islanders. It was extremely difficult to persuade them to abandon their homestead fields and leave the island they were dependent on. However, once Xiluo attacked and occupied the island, they would turn into slaves, or even tainted women.
Wei Tengfei saw that he did not listen to his advice, and in the next few days he had been using force.
It was the first time for Xiaowan to see the sea in her life. She stepped on the soft sand with her bare feet, and the ocean waves pounced towards her ankles. She chased after the waves and ran, but was also chased by the waves.
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”Look at the sun, it's tanned carefully.”
Xiaowan quivered and quickly covered her face. Although her family owned a ”black shop”, she could not become a black woman.
She was so happy, but in reality, the beach had already been cordoned off. There were no signs of life, and all the fishermen had been ordered to go inland.
