After rebirth, the eldest princess dotes on her husband

"Chao'er, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar year. People are lighting lanterns and guessing lantern riddles on the streets, and praying to the gods. It's so lively. I'll take you to see it! You won't be able to see it if you're late!" Yu Zhi snatched the sword from her hand and threw it into Chang Li's arms, "Stop practicing swordsmanship, let's go out and play!"

Yu Zhi held her wrist and ran out of the princess's mansion. The wind created by her skirt blew up the flying snow on the ground. Under the gorgeous fireworks, Yu Zhi looked back at her and smiled at her, revealing two dimples at the corners of his lips, looking free and unrestrained.

"Let me go first, I can walk by myself."

Yu Zhi retracted his hand, "Yan State is attacking Yingguan. Tomorrow, I will lead the troops to Yingguan. If I fail to return victoriously, can you, for the sake of our many years of friendship, take care of my grandfather?"

"Yu Zhi, this is just a test. I believe in you. You will definitely return victorious. I will welcome you back."

Yu Zhi's eyes fell on her red lips, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he hugged Yun Shuyue all of a sudden, "Let me hold you for a while. If I can return triumphantly, can you..." break off the engagement with Lu Jinnian and marry me?

"Can it be anything?"

"I want to drink the wine you brewed yourself."

"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back. We won't leave until we're drunk."

"wait me back……"

"Bang...Pah..." Fireworks and firecrackers came from all directions.

"I like you!"

As the city was filled with noise as fireworks exploded, Yu Zhi expressed his feelings to the person in front of him.

"What?" Yun Shuyue covered her ears, "It's too noisy, I can't hear it clearly..."

Yu Zhi smiled and put his hands to his mouth in a trumpet shape, "I said, Yun Shuyue is a crybaby, a delicate girl!"

Yun Shuyue glared at him, grabbed the snow on the ground, rolled it into a snowball and threw it at him.

In the alley, Lu Jinnian watched this scene with the jealousy burning in his heart more and more intensely. Yu Zhi, I will make sure you never come back.

At dawn the next day, Yu Zhi led his troops to Yingguan.

"Your Highness, Prince Lu is here."

"Let him in and watch the tea."

"Chao'er, look what I brought you." Lu Jinnian held a mask in both hands, "Do you like it?"

Yun Shuyue took the mask and played with it for a while before putting it aside. "Why did you come here so early?"

"I got up early to see Yu Zhi off. Why didn't you see him off?"

"He will be back in two or three months at most. Why do you need me to send him off?" Yun Shuyue picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Lu Jinnian sat down next to her, "Do you trust Yu Zhi so much? What if he takes a very long time to come back?"

"He was taught by my grandparents. I believe in my grandparents, and I also believe in him."

Lu Jinnian held her hand and said, "Chao'er, is it time to put our marriage on the agenda?"

"It's not too late for us to get married after he returns with his troops."

Lu Jinnian's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "That's right. The three of us have such a good relationship. There's no reason for Yu Zhi not to be present when we get married."

Yun Shuyue pulled back her hand. "Yingguan is surrounded by mountains but the terrain is flat. It is not difficult to defend. The deputy general who went with us is also a veteran who has fought for many years. It will only take two or three months to capture it."

Lu Jinnian lowered his eyes. He could never come back and would stay there forever. This was the burial place that I had personally chosen for him.

Yun Shuyue waited and waited for three months, but she did not receive any news of Yu Zhi's return. Instead, she waited until he was killed in the battle of Yingguan and his entire army was wiped out.

"Grandfather, I want to bring him back..."

Lin Minglei shook his head. "His Majesty has issued an order that no one should act rashly. No one can go to Yingguan before a new general is selected. You should go back to the mansion first and don't act on impulse."

As soon as Yun Shuyue returned to the princess's mansion, she gathered a thousand elite soldiers, sneaked out of the city at night, and headed for Yingguan.

As soon as she left, Sun Zhengliang submitted a memorial to the court, asking Lu Jinnian to lead the troops to attack Yingguan.

Yu Zhi's body was tied with his hands and hung on the city wall. Yun Shuyue climbed up the city wall under the cover of night, cut the rope, stole his body, and brought him back to the military camp.

She never imagined that the night of the fifteenth would be the last time they would meet in this life.

"The young general sacrificed his life for the country. His death was a worthy one. Princess, please don't be too sad. It will hurt your body."

Yun Shuyue knelt in front of Yu Zhi's body, holding his already cold hand, "Changli, go to town and buy a coffin. Make sure it's spacious and put more mattresses on it, otherwise it will be uncomfortable for him to lie down. Changfeng, fetch some water and some clean clothes, so that he can pass away cleanly and respectfully."

Yun Shuyue staggered to her feet, took the needle and thread, and sutured his wound. Tears fell from her eyes, and she didn't even feel the needle piercing her fingertips.

"Yu Zhi! You are a liar! You lied to me..."

"Your Highness!" Chang Feng quickly supported her, "Quickly call the military doctor!"

Yun Shuyue fainted and lost consciousness. When she woke up, Lu Jinnian was sitting by her bed taking care of her.

"You're awake? Slow down," Lu Jinnian helped her sit up, "You have a high fever. The military doctor said you are depressed. Yu Zhi is dead. I know you feel bad, but you have to take care of yourself. Otherwise, how can he feel at ease?"

"Why are you here?"

Lu Jinnian scratched her nose and said, "How dare you ask? You left the capital without saying a word. His Majesty was furious when he found out and asked me to lead the troops to capture Yingguan. Chao'er, you have to go back to the capital. Believe me, I will take the head of the King of Yan and offer it to Yu Zhi, okay?"

Lu Jinnian hugged her and patted her back. "Separation and death are common. Don't be too sad. You still have me. I will always be with you. Look at you, your eyes are swollen like walnuts. Don't cry, it will hurt me. I have ordered someone to send Yu Zhi back to the capital first. You should go back earlier, so that His Majesty will not blame you and punish you again."

Yun Shuyue nodded, "Okay. You should be more careful too."

"I will. If I leave too, what will happen to my Chaoer?"

Yun Shuyue covered his mouth and said, "You must come back safely."

Lu Jinnian raised three fingers and chuckled, "I swear, I will return to Beijing safely."

Yun Shuyue returned to the capital, Yu Zhi had already been buried, Yun Min ordered her to be caned 80 times and recuperate in the mansion for three months. During this period, Lu Jinnian joined forces with the Yan generals he had bribed before, and the Yan city was broken. The Yan monarch was beheaded by Lu Jinnian. It was also because of this head that he successfully became the regent.

"Yu Zhi," Lu Jinnian held the wine in one hand and the head of the King of Yan in the other, and placed them in front of his grave, "Look what I brought. I avenged you and cut off his head to offer to you. Now that you are in the underworld, can you rest in peace?"

"I have good news to tell you. I am the regent now. You won't be able to drink the wine at Chao'er and I's wedding," Lu Jinnian uncorked the wine and poured it on the ground. "I was the winner between the two of us. Oh, by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. On the night of the 15th, you and Chao'er went to the lantern festival. I saw everything."

"But it doesn't matter. I will still marry her. We have been fighting overtly and covertly for so long, but she is still mine in the end. Just lie here and be quiet. I will come to see you when I have the chance."
