The General and the Princess

As the night gradually faded, Di Shengyue stood in front of the window and looked out the window. The sky was gray-blue, and a faint halo could be seen in the sky.

Di Shengyue quietly turned out of the window. She reached out quickly, and without disturbing anyone, she turned out the eldest princess's mansion.

It was Yin time when we arrived at the "Heming Teahouse", so Di Shengyue ordered a private room, sipping tea quietly and waiting.

This teahouse is under the command of the third prince.

Di Shengyue waited for about two sticks of incense, and the figure of the third prince Xiao Jinteng appeared in the "Heming Tea House".

Xiao Jinteng was tall and tall, wearing a dark Sichuan brocade jacket, with a black moiré rhinoceros belt tied around his waist, his hair combed very neatly, and a pair of apricot-like tiger eyes, which made him look a bit majestic.

There are quite a few princes in Xiao Kingdom, but few of them are valued by the emperor.

But now the most capable contenders for the throne are the third prince Xiao Jinteng and the fourth prince Xiao Shengrui.

The third prince is the son of the current empress, he is very fond of the emperor, but his temper is a little more public.

The fourth prince is the son of Concubine Huangwan.Concubine Wan is the daughter of Shang Shuling, with a strong background.The temperament of the fourth prince is also the same as that of Concubine Wan, very calm, the emperor values ​​this son very much.

The second prince Xiao Jin said that although Concubine Rou was born, Concubine Rou is the queen's dowry maid, her family background is not high, and she has no support from her mother's family behind her.Kong has beauty but no brains.Xiao Jinyan's temperament was very much like his mother's empress, she was superficial and dull, and the emperor looked down on this son very much.

Although the reserve position has not yet been determined, the DPRK and China have basically been divided into two factions.

The third prince Xiao Jinteng has mostly generals under his command, while the fourth prince Xiao Shengrui has mostly civil servants.

As soon as she became the eldest princess, the emperor promoted the former general Liu to be a general.

This General Liu belongs to Xiao Shengrui, that's why Xiao Jinteng is in such a hurry.

In her previous life, she just fell in love with the fourth prince Xiao Shengrui who didn't have many generals under his command, and General Liu was someone she knew better.Only then did he choose to meet with the fourth prince, and self-righteously analyzed the current situation of the court for Xiao Shengrui.

Just waiting to become a meritorious minister who supported Xiao Shengrui to the top.

Thinking about it now, what she thought in her previous life was really too simple.

Supporting a prince is nothing compared to holding power in one's own hands.

As Di Shengyue thought about it, a faint light flashed across her eyes.

"General Di, what a coincidence." Xiao Jinteng walked towards her.

"Your Highness is a smart person, so he naturally knows that this is not a chance encounter." Di Shengyue put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Xiao Jinteng.

A gleam appeared in Xiao Jinteng's eyes, and he sat down in front of Di Shengyue: "Since that's the case, I won't tell you anything. The general's brilliant achievements in planning thousands of miles on the battlefield are like thunder to my ears. You are really confused when you marry the eldest princess. I really feel sorry for the general."

Di Shengyue raised her eyebrows, Xiao Jinteng's words clearly meant to win her over.

"Father ordered General Di to marry, so General Di must be full of dissatisfaction. Doesn't General Di want to take back his military power?" When the word military power was mentioned, Xiao Jinteng tapped the table with his index finger hard, dying. Staring at Di Shengyue, trying to read something from her face.

It's just Di Shengyueyi's indifferent expression.

"Your Highness, what should I do?" Di Shengyue looked through the window at the quiet street below.

Xiao Jinteng said, "The general's talent shouldn't just be buried. My family is short of this counselor. What does the general think?"

When Di Shengyue heard this, she looked away.

Looking at Xiao Jinteng, he curled his lips into a smile: "Your Highness thinks that just being a counselor can make my heart move?"

Di Shengyue has an excellent complexion, with elegant features, bright eyes and white teeth.

Because of years of fighting, although her complexion is not as fair as that of ordinary women, her whole body exudes a heroic aura.

There is a different kind of demeanor when he smiles at this moment.

Xiao Jinteng was stunned for a moment, collected himself, and said: "I promise, general, that you will be restored to your position as general."

Di Shengyue played with the teacup in her hand and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Di Shengyue said: "General Liu is indeed capable, but he is too pedantic and always uses the same method of marching troops. Wei Guo is not so stupid now."

When Xiao Jinteng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

With Di Shengyue's words, he was not optimistic about General Liu.

If General Liu was defeated, the emperor would definitely want to change someone. Then, he could take the opportunity to recommend someone of his own.

As long as he wins this battle, he will be able to grasp more military power.

Thinking about it, Xiao Jinteng looked at Di Shengyue with a little more fiery eyes.

As expected of a great general, Di Shengyue figured out the mystery in just a few words.

"Then how do you think the general can win?" Xiao Jinteng asked.

"Then it depends on His Highness's sincerity." Di Shengyue put the teacup on the table, and the teacup collided with the table, making a crisp sound in the quiet space, "There is still more than a month until the end of this war, enough for Your Highness to plan. "

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Jingteng to answer, he left the teahouse.

An unremarkable carriage was parked not far from "Heming Tea House".

Di Shengyue glanced at it, then quickly looked away.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

She recognized the carriage. In her previous life, she and the fourth prince planned things in the carriage.

How could the fourth prince not care about her conspiracy with the third prince.

In her previous life, she was too impatient to let the fourth prince take advantage of her.

It's still early now, just plan slowly.

A ray of sunlight shines through the thick clouds.

Di Shengyue looked at the dimly bright sky, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

What she wanted was just the first step.

When I returned home, I thought that there was a shop in Beijing that was most famous for its peanut cakes.

Thinking of her own princess, Di Shengyue inadvertently revealed a gentle smile.

Because it took a lot of time to wait for the peanut cake to be made, it was already Chen Shi when Di Shengyue returned to the princess mansion.

Sitting in the main hall, Xiao Yinxue looked at her with a sullen face, with faint anger in her eyes: "Where did you go this morning?"

"What's wrong with the princess?" Di Shengyue felt that Xiao Yinxue's temper was weird.

She thought about it carefully, she didn't seem to have offended her.

"The general doesn't know, today is the day of 'returning the door'." Luo Xiang replied, "The general should enter the palace with the princess to meet the empress at Maoshi."

Di Shengyue was stunned, she really didn't know about this.

She had just returned from the battlefield, and she never cared about Xiao Yinxue in her previous life, how could she "return home" with her.

When she thought of Xiao Yinxue "going home" alone, facing the rumors in the palace, Di Shengyue felt a little distressed, it was her negligence.

When she was reborn, she only cared about her own affairs, and never had a good understanding of everything about Xiao Yinxue.

But fortunately, there are more opportunities to make up for it now.

"Princess, I was wrong, I was negligent." Di Shengyue stepped forward, raised the peanut cake in her hand, and said, "How about this cake as an apology?"

Xiao Yinxue's gaze softened a lot when she saw the pastries: "Did you go buy me pastries this morning?"

Di Shengyue nodded.

Xiao Yinxue took the oiled paper bag and put it on the table, with a faint smile in her eyes.

The corners of Di Shengyue's mouth were slightly raised, the princess's temper was actually very cute, her temper came and went quickly, she was very easy to coax.

Xiao Yinxue gently opened the oil-paper package.

When the line of sight touched the pastry inside, it suddenly became cold.

She stood up abruptly, put the greased paper bag heavily in Di Shengyue's hand, and said, "Hmph, keep it for yourself!"

Said angrily left the main hall.

Di Shengyue looked blankly at Xiao Yinxue's disappearing figure, so, what happened?

"General, princess..." You Tao said, "I'm allergic to peanuts."

Di Shengyue was slightly taken aback.

At lunch time, as soon as Xiao Yinxue appeared in the main hall, she saw Di Shengyue serving a bowl of cod fish tofu soup on the table.

The fish soup was boiled until it was thick and delicious, and bursts of fragrance penetrated into Xiao Yinxue's nose.

"You did it?" Xiao Yinxue asked with a bit of surprise in her eyes, her eyebrows raised lightly.

"It's an apology for the princess to wash her hands and make soup." Di Shengyue filled a bowl of soup for Xiao Yinxue with her own hands, bent her lips and said with a smile, "Princess, do you want to taste it?"

"I didn't know you could cook." Xiao Yinxue gave Di Shengyue a suspicious look, took the fish soup, and took a sip with her head down.

The delicious aroma of the fish soup occupies the lips and tongue, which is surprisingly delicious.

Xiao Yinxue's eyes lit up involuntarily, and she put another piece of fish into her mouth.

The soft, glutinous and fragrant fish melts in the mouth, and the aroma of the stewed soup makes people's index fingers move.

The taste turned out to be really good.

Xiao Yinxue subconsciously glanced at Di Shengyue, and found that she had been looking at her with a smile in her eyes: "I was careless before, I didn't know that the princess is allergic to peanuts, and today I specially made this cod fish tofu soup to apologize to the princess. How does the soup taste?"

She turned her head uncomfortably: "The taste, it's just okay."

Seeing her duplicity, Di Shengyue couldn't help but find it funny.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said pretending to be annoyed: "It seems that the cooking is still not very tasty, so don't eat it first, and wait for me to study it."

As Di Shengyue said, she reached out to take the bowl away.

Xiao Yinxue, however, put the bowl in front of her like she was protecting food, and said dissatisfied: "These are all made to make amends for the princess, you are not allowed to take them away!"

"Doesn't the princess not like it?" Di Shengyue's smile deepened.

It's really interesting to tease Xiao Yinxue.

"Hmph, seeing you have worked so hard, this princess reluctantly accepts it." Xiao Yinxue said arrogantly.

As if afraid of being snatched away by Di Shengyue again, he took another big mouthful of soup.

She seemed to be in a hurry, and the shallow soup stains were imprinted on the corners of her lips.

Seeing her cute look, Di Shengyue felt her heart soften.

She took out the handkerchief, gently wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth, and said with a doting smile: "Why are you acting like a child. Okay, okay, I won't grab it from you, I will leave it to you."

The two were so close that Xiao Yinxue could see Di Shengyue's deep eyes as soon as she raised her eyes. Those eyes full of warmth only reflected her shadow at the moment.

For some reason, Xiao Yinxue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Xiao Yinxue subconsciously avoided Di Shengyue's eyes, she lowered her head, picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup.

She scolded herself fiercely in her heart, what are you talking about!If she looks at you, you just look back!

Even though she was thinking this way, Xiao Yinxue still didn't raise her head.

Di Shengyue's eyes were too gentle, as if they wanted to suck her in.

Xiao Yinxue didn't have a big appetite, and after only two bowls of soup, she couldn't drink any more. She looked at the remaining soup on the table with some reluctance.

"If the princess likes it, how about I keep doing it for you from now on?" Di Shengyue said.

"Who, who likes it." Xiao Yinxue's cheeks blushed suddenly, making her already beautiful cheeks tender and glamorous, very good-looking.

"Yes, the princess doesn't like it." Di Shengyue looked at her deeply and said, "I like it."

"Hi...what do you like. Damn, you...why do you speak so shamelessly." Xiao Yinxue's cheeks flushed suddenly.

"I said that I like to cook for the princess. Where is the princess thinking?" Di Shengyue chuckled.

Realizing that she was thinking wrongly, Xiao Yinxue felt her cheeks suddenly become hot, and hurriedly changed the topic: "You Tao! You Tao! Why didn't you call someone to clean up the table."

Looking at Xiao Yinxue's appearance, Di Shengyue's smile deepened.

In the past, I only thought that the princess was unruly and willful, but now I find that her true nature is very cute.

Xiao Yinxue felt that Di Shengyue's gaze was too hot, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Princess, Eunuch Guo is here with the Queen Mother's order." Luo Xiang just appeared in the palace and reported.

"Then why don't you invite Eunuch Guo to come in!" Xiao Yinxue ordered Luoxiang as if seeing a savior.

As soon as Eunuch Guo saw Xiao Yinxue, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Our family is here to invite the princess and the general to meet the queen mother together."

"Emperor Grandmother has returned to the palace?" Xiao Yinxue had already mentioned the Empress Dowager, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in her eyes.

"The Empress Dowager misses the Eldest Princess very much. Didn't she send our family here to invite you as soon as she returned to the palace?" Eunuch Guo said, "The Eldest Princess please."

After hearing the words, the two soon followed Eunuch Guo into the palace.
