The General and the Princess

"Princess, I have nothing to do today, why don't you accompany me back to the General's Mansion?" After breakfast, Di Shengyue said to Xiao Yinxue, "Now you are the mistress of the General's Mansion."

Hearing the word "mistress", Xiao Yinxue's cheeks blushed a little, and said angrily, "Who cares to be the mistress of your general's mansion."

"I don't care about princesses, but I care about princesses." Di Shengyue looked at Xiao Yinxue and said.

Why did this guy like to say these love words so much recently?

Xiao Yinxue's cheeks were burning hot when Di Shengyue looked at her. Xiao Yinxue subconsciously avoided her gaze, got up from the chair, and said, "Then, what are you still doing, why don't you leave quickly."

The two packed up and got up to set off.

After driving for about an hour, the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion.

Xiao Yinxue entered the General's Mansion for the first time, and found that the General's Mansion was much simpler than she imagined.

Along the way, I didn't see a few servants.

Seeing the doubt in Xiao Yinxue's eyes, Di Shengyue explained: "I'm not in the general's mansion all the year round, and I don't need any servants, so I dismissed them all, leaving only a few loyal ones."

When the butler saw Di Shengyue, a peaceful smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"The old servant sees the lord, sees the princess." Uncle Liu bowed respectfully.

"Get up, Uncle Liu." Seeing this person, Di Shengyue's eyes softened all of a sudden.

Uncle Liu used to be my father's confidant. After my father passed away, I moved to the General's Mansion, and Uncle Liu followed him. He was safe and loyal.

"Seeing that the general is all right, this old slave is relieved." Uncle Liu looked at Di Shengyue with a very kind smile, then turned his head to look at the princess and said, "Princess and Your Excellency are really a match made in heaven."

Uncle Liu was very good at observing words and expressions, from the way Di Shengyue and Xiao Yinxue looked at each other, he could tell that their relationship was not bad.

When Xiao Yinxue heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

"My lord, Dongyuan has been packed, do you want to take the princess with you?"

Xiao Yinxue raised her eyebrows, secretly thinking that the housekeeper is also very clever.

As soon as she and Di Shengyue came out of the princess mansion, the butler had already prepared everything.

"En." Di Shengyue nodded.

Looking at Uncle Liu's back, Di Shengyue thought of Bi Jian in the Princess Mansion, and a deep thought appeared in her eyes.

Dongyuan is where the Di family's ancestral hall is located. Di Shengyue usually doesn't like to be followed, so the housekeeper and servants stay outside.

Xiao Yinxue also made You Tao and Luo Xiang wait at the gate of the courtyard.

The ancestral hall was cleaned spotlessly, and the spiritual tablets of the Di family were neatly placed on it, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

Di Shengyue walked up to Di Anshun's coffin, knelt down and kowtowed heavily, and said, "Father, this is the eldest princess Xiao Yinxue. She is the daughter-in-law of the Di family."

Xiao Yinxue listened, thinking that you are the wife I married back.

"Father," Di Shengyue stood up, took Xiao Yinxue's hand, interlocked her fingers, and said, "I have made up my mind to join hands with Xiao Yinxue for the rest of my life, until death."

Hearing this, Xiao Yinxue blushed slightly, and said coquettishly: "Whoever wants to join hands with you for the rest of his life is shameless."

"That's not what the princess said when she forcibly married me." Di Shengyue said with a light smile.

"Well, that was a moment of brain fever." Xiao Yinxue said firmly, but in Di Shengyue's teasing eyes, she couldn't say any more, she could only turn her head and hum softly.

"Well, now I beg the princess to join hands with me for the rest of my life. I wonder if the princess is willing?" Di Shengyue looked at Xiao Yinxue with seriousness in her eyes.

"The princess depends on your performance." Xiao Yinxue said, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly raised.

Afraid of being discovered by Di Shengyue, Xiao Yinxue turned her back.

The corners of Di Shengyue's mouth curled up, feeling that Xiao Yinxue in front of her was really cute.

Thinking of the business to be done today, Di Shengyue took out a small box from a secret compartment under the incense table.

Xiao Yinxue heard the sound behind her, turned around, and looked curiously at the box in Di Shengyue's hand.

Di Shengyue simply handed the box in her hand to Xiao Yinxue.

Xiao Yinxue took the box, opened it curiously, and found that there were a lot of bank notes in it, as well as the land deed and deed shop of the General's Mansion.

"Why did you take all these out?" Xiao Yinxue looked at Di Shengyue in surprise.

"Now you are the mistress of the General's Mansion, and you will naturally be in charge of everything in the General's Mansion." Di Shengyue said softly.

Xiao Yinxue was a little startled, she never expected that Di Shengyue would give her these things.

"Are you really assured of handing over these things to me? I just took a look at the number of land deeds for these shops." Xiao Yinxue looked at Di Shengyue.

"You and I are now a husband and wife. What's mine is yours, so why not let it go." Di Shengyue laughed.

"Since you have said so, then the princess will be reluctant to accept it." Thinking that Di Shengyue trusted herself so much, Xiao Yinxue's heart warmed, and her eyes were a little moist.

Then she looked away in embarrassment, closed the box, and accepted it.

As soon as the two of them left Dongyuan, Uncle Liu stepped forward to report, "My lord, someone from Di's residence is here."

"Di Mansion?" Di Shengyue raised her eyebrows.

"It's from the second bedroom." Uncle Liu replied, "It's been arranged in the side hall."

Speaking of the second room, Di Shengyue's eyes flashed with boredom.

The relationship between her and the second room is not close. When she married the princess, the second room gave her a hard push.

The Di family has been brave for generations, and has produced many talented generals.

Everyone in Dafang made great achievements in battle, but except for Di Shengyue, all of them died in battle.

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Di Anzhong, the master of the third room, also has a place in the court.

There is only this second wife, who is only sycophant and useless.

The master of the second bedroom, Di Guoan, relied on the name of the old general when he was young, and got a fifth-rank job in the court.

The salary is not high, but he gave birth to a son who is idle and obsessed with gambling and hangs around the place of fireworks all day long.

The originally wealthy family was completely wiped out by his son.

Di Anzhong was notoriously "pedantic and stubborn", and the second room couldn't get any favors every time he went there, so he could only come to the big room.

When Da Fang was still alive, although he looked down on this useless younger brother, seeing how pitiful they were, he helped them a lot.

Ever since Di Shengyue's father died in battle, Di Shengyue has never helped this group of bottomless pits.

Di Shengyue is very aware of Erfang's temperament of not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.

Xiao Yinxue also keenly caught this trace of boredom.

She also knew a lot about the second wife of the Di family, so she immediately became concerned.

When the two entered the side hall, Di Guoan's wife, Mrs. Li, had been waiting in the side hall for a long time. Her ineffective son, Di Shixian, and the patriarch of the Di family also came with her.

Di Shixian was salivating over the sapphire vase in the hall, thinking about how much money he could make by selling the vase.

Di Shengyue saw that the patriarch raised his brows slightly. Li Shi came back in a big way, and even the patriarch moved out.

Li's elder sister is the concubine of the patriarch, and the second room has a close relationship with the patriarch.

The patriarch is fair on the surface, but his heart has always been biased towards the second room.

It's not a good person, Di Shengyue thought.

Seeing Di Shengyue coming in, Mrs. Li came up and said dissatisfiedly: "Shengyue, the people in your house are really ignorant. Why do you use such poor tea for entertaining people? I sat with the patriarch for a long time Why don’t you even serve a plate of pastries? Can’t you look down on our Di family?”

"Presumptuous!" Before Di Shengyue could speak, Xiao Yinxue was the first to put on a cold face, and said to Mrs. Li, "Di Shengyue is the husband-in-law of this princess, you just called her name casually."

"It's just a son-in-law." Li muttered in his mouth.

"To despise this princess' husband-in-law is to despise this princess and the royal family." Xiao Yinxue's eyes became sharp all of a sudden.

Mrs. Li usually hangs around with Di Guoan, and usually uses the name of the General's Mansion to meet people who are polite. Where has he seen such an aura before, and he looked at the patriarch for help.

Just as the patriarch wanted to say a few words of reconciliation, Xiao Yinxue said sharply: "Contempt for the royal family, just for this one, this princess can sentence you to death."

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she knelt down in a hurry, and pulled Di Shixian along the way: "See Princess, see Master Di."

Xiao Yinxue nodded in satisfaction, and gave Di Shengyue a smug look.

Di Shengyue smiled, Xiao Yinxue was obviously standing out for herself.

How did she feel that Xiao Yinxue was arrogant and unreasonable? It was really a pearl in her hand without knowing it.
