C38 Elder sister wants to be a concubine? (1/2)
's boots were already very old. She was in the army camp, so she knew that the imperial military expenditures were tight, so she was not willing to increase the burden on the Ninth Prince s. She never recklessly used a single coin for her personal use, and never changed any of her boots. However, when Yue Pengju returned, he only needed to take a look before noticing it.
She looked at her boots and liked it. Then she looked at the jade hairpin and liked it even more. She smiled again. ”Pengju, I don't need it in the military camp.”
He said in a low voice, ”I look good. I don't have any hairpins, so I bought one for you. Don't you like it?”
”I like it, I really like it.” She took it and placed it in her bosom before softly saying, ”Big sister will wear it to show you since we won't be fighting in the future.”
Yue Pengju whistled in joy.
The two siblings had dinner together. Yue Pengju saw that her Desk had a lot of paper, ink and brush. He picked up a piece of paper and asked her: ”All these years in the army, are you still studying and writing?”
”Yes.”
”I'll take a look at it.”
He nodded his head and sat down. Hua Rong was at his side writing the ink for him.
Years of dust and clothing,
Triton.
Good water, good mountains, not yet seen,
The horse's hooves urged him to take advantage of the bright moon.
This time, Hua Rong looked at it, it was a bold and unrestrained poem, the calligraphy was vigorous, filled with masculinity, and she liked it very much, she repeatedly said: ”Pengju, you're really good, you've already written better than elder sister.”
Suddenly, he took out a piece of paper from her bosom. It was wrapped very well, and when she folded it open, Hua Rong saw that the yellowing paper only had the word ”Yue Pengju” on it.
He wrote his name on the island in the same year. All these years, he had been collecting such a piece of paper.
”Elder sister, I have always been carrying the 'Sun Zi Ji' manual that you gave me. It has given me a lot of inspiration in several battles.”
She laughed. She never expected that the casual book she gave him would be used by him so skillfully, to such an extent.
She raised her brush and focused on thinking. ”Elder sister will write a few more words for you.”
Yue Pengju was very happy as he stood beside her, quietly watching her writing.
There was a knock on the door, but Sisters and Sisters did not hear it. The door was half open, the Ninth Prince pushed the door and entered, but seeing that the Sisters and Sisters was focused on writing, in a very intimate state, Xu Caizhi who was beside him could not help but cough lightly.
Seeing that it was Ninth Prince, Hua Rong immediately put down her brush, and the siblings bowed together: ”Greetings Ninth Prince.”
The Ninth Prince smiled: ”Pengju, you didn't go out with them to play?”
”This little one hasn't seen big sister for a long time, I'm a bit free right now, so I'm sparring with big sister over calligraphy.”
Ninth Prince laughed out loud. ”Good boy, let me see, have your calligraphy finally caught up to your sister?”
Yue Pengju respectfully handed it over and looked at it carefully. He raised his head and looked at it in shock, even more shocked than at his military prowess.
He was overjoyed and immediately said: ”Xu Caizhi, take this duke's complete set of brush, ink, and paper, and bestow it upon Yue Pengju.”
”Yes.” This little one will deliver it later. ”
Yue Pengju hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
At this time, Ninth Prince sat down, looked at this simple and crude house, and sighed: ”You two siblings follow this king, Pengju has repeatedly rendered meritorious service to the war, Hua Rong is a loyal guard, but this king has never heavily rewarded you. When the war stops, this king will definitely properly arrange everything for you two …”
”Your highness saved my life, and also relied on Your highness. This little girl has always been grateful for your kindness, so how could I dare to ask Your highness for a reward?”
”Hua Rong, quickly don't be so courteous, there will be a feast for the King in Japan tomorrow. Firstly, everyone should gather together.
”Thank you, Prince.”
Seeing that it was getting late, the Ninth Prince took his leave and Yue Pengju left as well.
In the past few days, Hua Rong had never been so lively before. After washing up and going to bed, she would not be able to sleep. With great difficulty, she closed her eyes, only to dream that the King Qin was holding him up like an eagle grabbing a chick, taking out a thick rope, wanting to strip him naked and tie him to a big tree. She struggled as much as she could to give herself a good kick. When she woke up, she realized that it was a nightmare.
She rolled to her feet, pulled on her clothes, and got out of bed. She went to the window and looked at the moonlight, cold and thin, as if it were an ominous season.
