The general said she doesn't take a wife

She stood outside the grand gate of the capital city, as if she had been in another world, and she also had the melancholy thoughts of being close to her hometown.

She led the horse, took a deep breath, and walked slowly towards the capital. At the city gate, she showed her badge as a general of the Eastern Region Army Camp. The guards guarding the city saluted her and then allowed her to enter the city.

After not returning for several years, she felt that the capital city was more prosperous than in previous years. The empress was a wise and benevolent monarch, who ruled the world with virtue, was loved by the people, and her name went down in history.

I don't know what happened to Xiaoyu.

And whether, still remember her.

She has been away for four years, and now Xiaoyu should be 15 years old, and she must have grown into a distinguished style, with a bit of demeanor of an empress.

Fang Yuzhu sighed, a little regretful that she missed the four New Year's Eves, and she had lost the opportunity to meet Xiaoyu, but she herself lost it.

Although she missed it, she didn't regret it. At least, these four years were meaningful to her. Her life was not wasted if she could serve the Empress as a dog and contribute to the peace of the people in the Eastern Region. .

She paced back to the maid's house, and the steward recognized her at a glance. The girl standing in front of the door was much more mature than the child many years ago, and her brows and eyes were a little more heroic, but her eyes were bright. , is still familiar.

"Polygonatum!"

The steward sighed, and then led Fang Yuzhu back to the mansion.

"I think you will find time to go to the palace to meet His Majesty when you come back this time."

Fang Yuzhu followed behind the steward, and when she heard the steward's words, she blinked, then lowered her eyes again, and said:

"I'll go after the scientific examination is over and the results are released."

She is no longer a servant girl in the mansion, but a young general with an official position. She no longer needs to call herself a servant girl, and it is justifiable to enter the palace to face the saint.

But she knew in her heart that she hadn't finished her work and hadn't met the requirements Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan had set for her at the beginning, so she didn't have the face to see Lin Aoxue.

The steward looked back at her, didn't say much, only said:

"Then arrange it yourself. The room you lived in a few days ago is still there, including some things you used before. If you don't need it, you can deal with it yourself."

Fang Yuzhu thanked the steward respectfully, and did not order him arrogantly just because his current status has changed.

She always remembers the kindness of the people in the woman-fu's house to her. Without their kind treatment, she could not imagine what her childhood would have been like in those few years.

"Isn't Mrs. Fu at the house?"

When Fang Yuzhu came back, the steward didn't take her to see the maid. She was curious, so she asked this question.

"Well, Mrs. Fu is traveling with the grassland envoy to leave Beijing again. I don't know when she will come back this time."

Fang Yuzhu had two smiles in his eyes when he heard this, and the maid and grassland queen were still the same.

The year she first came to the Nu Fu's house, the Queen of the Prairie asked the Empress to marry her, but the Fu rejected her and set a two-year term. Then, the Queen of the Prairie actually abdicated after two years and moved her family to the north. In the middle of nowhere, playing around with the female Fu, a couple of gods and immortals.

The Empress gave her Fu another position, and asked her to record all the sights worth visiting after she came back every year, and compile them into a book, so as to avoid the impeachment of the ministers in Beijing.

Every year, the female Fu stays in Beijing for roughly three to two months. At that time, the Queen of the Grassland will go to the mansion to eat and drink, and then she disappears.

So when Fang Yuzhu came, she was not surprised to hear that the maid was not at the house.

There was less than one month left for the scientific examination. During this month, Fang Yuzhu stayed at the Fu's house, studying hard, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he wrote it down with a pen, and then went to the bookstore to ask the husband himself.

Knowing that Fang Yuzhu came back from the frontier defense, he had also won a whole body of military merits. He was immediately amazed and passed on what he had learned.

Fang Yuzhu is serious and rigorous, and studies very hard. The butler of the house helps her take care of it and has signed up for Fang Yuzhu.

Another month later, Fang Yuzhu took part in the literary examination. The topics of the literary examination ranged from the way of governing the country to the way of governing the army. I handed in the test papers and left.

After the literary examination, there is the martial arts examination. There are not as many people participating in the martial arts examination as there are not as many people participating in the martial arts examination. Beijing Central has set up a martial arts examination arena with special scoring standards. Every time you win an extra game, you will get one point. admission.

Fang Yuzhu has practiced martial arts for six years and has been in the army for four years. Even though she is still young, she has rich combat experience and her combat skills are becoming mature. No one can beat her against all the enemies on the stage.

Although the martial arts exam was held after the literary exam, the rankings could be released on the same day, and Fang Yuzhu came out on top.

She applied for the martial arts examination as a woman and became the champion of martial arts, which caused a great uproar.

Ning Guo allowed women to be officials, and it was not uncommon for women to take part in the literary examination, but very few took part in the martial arts examination.

Fang Yuzhu participated in the martial arts at a young age as a woman and won the leader. This is the first time since the founding of Ningguo. In addition, Fang Yuzhu has military exploits in the Eastern Region and has been promoted to the position of general. There are rumors among the people that maybe Fang Yuzhu can become the leader. The second female general.

This incident caused a lot of uproar in the capital, and after a few days, the entire capital became even more ebullient when the Wen Kao results were announced.

But seeing No.1 on the list, there are three words written impressively: Fang Yuzhu.

Fang Yuzhu is only [-] years old, he is both civil and military champion, and is famous all over the world.

The number one scholar in civil and military affairs is about to enter the capital, although it is not the first time for Fang Yuzhu to enter the palace, this time, she still feels nervous. no.

She hasn't seen the Empress for four years. She was young and ignorant before, and she didn't pay attention to many things. Now that she has returned to the capital and won the Shuangkui, she can enter the palace to have an audience in a splendid manner, but she feels like Like a deer, jumping up and down.

The closer she got to the gate of the palace, the louder Fang Yuzhu's heartbeat became, vibrating in her ears, and the buzzing sound never stopped.

She kept thinking, if Lin Aoxue hadn't rescued her and Xiaoyu from the bullying little beggar in the disaster outside Yujiang City ten years ago, what would she be like today?

Not only her, but also Xiaoyu.

The favor they have received cannot be repaid, it is Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan who gave them a chance to live again.

Stepping into the palace, there is no fear and anxiety when she first came, and her anticipation has not diminished but increased. If she sees the Empress again, what will the Empress say to her, and whether she will be satisfied with her achievements today.

The road to Xuande Hall is very long, and Fang Yuzhu's steps become lighter as she moves forward. She gradually found her goal. After ten years of thinking, she has been wondering whether Lin Aoxue treats her like this for the sake of Small words.

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan worked hard, presumably to find someone to rely on for Xiaoyu. Fang Yuzhu will be able to enter the court in the future, and she is about the same age as Xiaoyu. She is the person who can most trust Xiaoyu. Sharing worries and solving problems, if Xiaoyu inherits the holy position in the future, Fang Yuzhu will be her brother and a capable minister on her way forward.

Fang Yuzhu felt that she seemed to have found the exact position, she thought to herself that this is what she wanted, and it was also the greatest favor that Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan could give her.

She thought in her heart that she thought she was a little greedy, but if possible, even if she was greedy, she would fight for it.

Because it can help small words.

Finally, Xuande Hall gradually became clear in front of Fang Yuzhu's eyes. Fang Yuzhu had never seen that magnificent palace in previous years.

In the past when Fang Yuzhu entered the palace, she only went to Yuyan Palace, and then left after staying overnight. Moreover, she went to the Imperial Study Room, other than that, she didn't know anything about it.

On the Xuande Hall, the courtiers were separated on both sides, from the first-rank officials to the fifth-rank ministers, and the small officials below the sixth rank, all stood on the square outside the hall.

Fang Yuzhu walked through the long corridor in front of the hall, and then stepped up the stone steps in front of the hall. After being summoned by the empress, she stepped into the Xuande Hall, kowtowed to the ground before the jade steps, and shouted loudly:

"Chen, Fang Yuzhu, I greet Your Majesty!"

Behind her, there were four other people, Tanhua, the second place in the Wen Kao and Wu Kao, they also knelt down with Fang Yuzhu and shouted long live to the Empress.

Sitting on the throne, Lin Aoxue had a look of relief in her eyes. Looking at the person under her seat, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Fang Yuzhu ten years ago.

At that time, Fang Yuzhu and Xiaoyu were surrounded by three little beggars. They were bullied but could not fight back. In the end, Lin Aoxue rescued the two of them and brought them back to the capital. In [-], the child who was like a bean at the beginning has grown up now.

Upright eighteen, in full bloom, and handsome in appearance, after going through the border customs, she is two points more heroic than ordinary girls, with a calm look between her brows, and she is ready for a big job.

Lin Aoxue smiled and said "flat body".

Afterwards, Lin Aoxue rewarded several famous persons on the list one by one, and then said to Fang Yuzhu:

"Yuzhu, after the next court, you come to the imperial study."

The officials were in an uproar, and Fang Yuzhu was also a little dazed, but she quickly suppressed the surprise in her eyes, bowed her head, and nodded in response:

"Yes."

After the court was over, Lin Aoxue took a step first, and Fang Yuzhu walked towards the imperial study room under the guidance of the palace staff after all the ministers left the Xuande Hall.

It was not the first time she walked the road leading to the Imperial Study Room, but it had never been like today, which made her very nervous.

She didn't know what Lin Aoxue was going to say to herself, and there seemed to be a part of her heart beating with thunder.

But she is not timid. After years of experience in the army, she has gathered courage and will not back down no matter what the situation is.

The road from Xuande Hall to Yushufang was not long, and Fang Yuzhu walked for about half an hour.

Standing outside the imperial study room, she bowed her fists and asked the people in the hall:

"Your Majesty, minister, please meet Fang Yuzhu."

"Come in."

Lin Aoxue's voice didn't change much from four years ago. Fang Yuzhu felt at ease. Hearing Lin Aoxue's words, she felt that her mood also calmed down. The tension dissipated. She took two steps forward, pushed open the door of the imperial study and walked away go in.

Just about to bow down, he heard Lin Aoxue say:

"No need to salute, there is a chair next to you, sit down and talk."

Fang Yuzhu blinked, doubts deepening in her heart, but she still walked to the chair beside her and sat down as she said, with her back straight and respectful.

"Tell me how you've been over the years."

Lin Aoxue took the initiative to ask about Fang Yuzhu's experience at the border.

Fang Yuzhu had already thought about this question when she came here, so she didn't hesitate to answer it. She briefly talked about her experience in the Eastern Region for the past few years, including several important battles. The injury was not mentioned.

After she finished speaking, Lin Aoxue looked up at her and said with a smile:

"I heard that the fire burned your arm and left a scar."

Fang Yuzhu's expression turned serious. She guessed that Lin Aoxue should know about the border situation, but she didn't expect her to know such details.

Fang Yuzhu wiped her injured arm subconsciously. As Lin Aoxue said, there was a palm-sized scar on the place where she was burned, and this scar became clearer and clearer as she got older. There is no intention of fading.

"Yes."

In the end, she only answered this one word.

Lin Aoxue looked at her, the smile in her eyes deepened, and she asked again:

"Do you regret it?"

After saying this, Fang Yuzhu immediately raised his head, the mournful look on his face disappeared without a trace, his eyes were firm, and he said bluntly:

"Return to His Majesty, minister, don't regret it!"

She said the word "no regrets" forcefully.

Lin Aoxue nodded appreciatively, and suddenly burst into laughter. She put down the pen in her hand, then got up and walked to Fang Yuzhu, when Fang Yuzhu was so nervous that her back was sweating, she suddenly said:

"Pull up your sleeves and show me the injury."

Fang Yuzhu's throat rolled, and she became more and more nervous, but Lin Aoxue's face was gentle, and the light in her eyes was extraordinarily gentle, which instantly dissolved the tension in her heart.

She thought of the care she had received since she was a child, and the insignificant tension disappeared in an instant.

Even though it's just a secret in her heart, she has always regarded Lin Aoxue as a close elder. As an elder, it doesn't matter if you take a look at her injuries.

Fang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled up his cuff, exposing the hideous scar on his left arm.

Lin Aoxue glanced at it, and thought about it, and then said:

"It's just a small injury, nothing happened."

After saying that, she thought in her heart, when Fang Yuzhu was settled, she would ask Yan'er to make some ointment for this child.

Fang Yuzhu was a little dazed.

Lin Aoxue laughed, then pointed to her face and said to Fang Yuzhu:

"Look at my face."

Fang Yuzhu raised her eyes in response, but saw nothing.

"Do you have any scars?"

"Your Majesty is unparalleled in beauty, where are the scars?"

Lin Aoxue laughed loudly, then reached out and rubbed Fang Yuzhu's head, and said with a smile:

"No, I used to have this kind of scar on my face, much worse than yours. A few years ago, I entered the palace as a courtier for the first time, took off the mask, and scared the former emperor. Jump."

Fang Yuzhu was stunned, although she didn't speak, but the expression in her eyes showed two points of disbelief.

Moreover, she didn't quite understand what Lin Aoxue meant when she said these things to her.

Lin Aoxue shook her head, and she didn't want Fang Yuzhu to believe it. She paced back to her seat, picked up the pen again, wrote and drew in a booklet, and said at the same time:

"Okay, it's okay, you go to Yuyan Palace to see Xiaoyu."

Fang Yuzhu felt a little puzzled, of course she was happy to see Xiaoyu as soon as she entered the palace, but she didn't understand Lin Aoxue's attitude towards her, she was not sure what Lin Aoxue's closeness meant.

The holy intention was hard to fathom, so Fang Yuzhu simply gave up thinking about it. She got up and bowed to Lin Aoxue to leave, then left the imperial study room and walked towards Yuyan Palace.

Yuyan Palace is still the same as before. The palace people clean it carefully every day, so the palace has always maintained a bright and beautiful appearance. Before Fang Yuzhu approached, he heard silver bell-like laughter coming from Yuyan Palace .

As soon as Fang Yuzhu stepped into Yuyan Palace, she saw a hydrangea rolling to her feet, and then a white-haired puppy rushed towards her, trying to catch the hydrangea under her feet.

"Little Bamboo!"

Fang Yuzhu frowned, she recognized the girl's voice, and heard the name that the girl called clearly, but a strange feeling arose in her heart.

This little bamboo... probably called this dog.

Why does it have the same name as hers?

She raised her head again, and saw a beautiful girl in palace attire running towards this side quickly, and then stopped ten steps away from Fang Yuzhu.

When Ning Queyu saw Fang Yuzhu, she was a little dazed, she didn't immediately recognize Fang Yuzhu's identity, but subconsciously felt that this person looked familiar and had a kind face.

She lifted the skirt of the palace dress slightly, stared at Fang Yuzhu in a daze, her lips and teeth moved, but she didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Minister Fang Yuzhu, pay my respects to Your Royal Highness the Princess!"

Fang Yuzhu was the first to come back to her senses, tried her best to conceal the tension in her heart, and then bowed down pretending to be calm, suppressing the turbulent thoughts, showing the same appearance as usual.

"Fang Yuzhu..."

Ning Queyu opened his mouth slightly and repeated it in a murmur.

The puppy called Little Bamboo came to Ning Queyu's feet with a hydrangea in its mouth, shaking its head and tail, as if asking for credit, but Ning Queyu didn't even bother to look at it, and took another two steps towards Fang Yuzhu .

Ning Queyu didn't let Fang Yuzhu get up, Fang Yuzhu kept bowing her body until a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in her field of vision, and she knew that Ning Queyu was standing in front of her at this moment.

"Are you really Fang Yuzhu?"

Ning Queyu put his hands behind his back, looked down at Fang Yuzhu, and asked again.

Fang Yuzhu's heart trembled, and she was inexplicably nervous. Fang Yuzhu, who had never been afraid of facing dozens of gangsters alone, felt palpitations at this moment.

She took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and replied respectfully:

"Yes, the humble minister is Fang Yuzhu."

"I heard that the emperor's list will be released today. I think you are the number one in the exam, Shuangkui?"

Ning Queyu still didn't let Fang Yuzhu get up, she felt that her waist was going to be stiff, but when she heard this sentence, Fang Yuzhu felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Today's Ning Queyu is different from previous years, very different. Same.

"Yes."

she answered again.

The little bamboo was noisy and dancing at Ning Queyu's feet, and Ning Queyu leaned over to hug the little bamboo, and the little bamboo's tail flicked happily.

"Four years of guarding the border, how hard is it?"

Ning Queyu didn't know why, but she didn't want to ask Fang Yuzhu to get up, but she always asked endless questions, each of which made Fang Yuzhu feel inexplicable, and she was a little confused, whether Ning Queyu was reminiscing with her, or Asking her for not returning for a long time.

She was lost and in pain.

"your Highness……"

Fang Yuzhu murmured.

"I'm asking you something!"

Ning Queyu's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of anger in her tone, which made Fang Yuzhu tremble all over, and the feeling of panic in her heart became more and more serious. She had no choice but to forcefully suppress her complicated and confused emotions, holding back the panic and pain in her heart, Open lips answer:

"Sharing worries for His Majesty, I don't feel hard work."

From an angle that Fang Yuzhu couldn't see, Ning Queyu had a bitter expression on her face, her eyes were already red, tears filled her eye sockets, and she was on the verge of falling.

She pursed her lips tightly, and her silver teeth were on her lips, biting her lower lip until it turned white.

She couldn't recognize Fang Yuzhu at all, but she resented in her heart that Fang Yuzhu had left without saying goodbye for four full years.
