The general's princess-to-be

It was already noon when Bai Junmo woke up, during which time Liu Huai also visited him several times, seeing that he was in a deep sleep, he didn't intend to call him, but thoughtfully lit his favorite incense, closed the door, and retreated out .

He knew Bai Junmo well, and knew that he had been like this since he was a child. Whenever there was something particularly unhappy or something difficult to solve, he would sleep with his head covered and ignore others. When he fell asleep, he could temporarily forget everything. When he woke up, his mood would change. It would be much better, so Liu Huaiyi simply ignored him and let him sleep in the dark.

In the hollowed-out gilt incense burner, the soothing incense that helps to sleep is burning, and the green smoke rushes out of the incense burner and slowly rises into the sky, and finally merges with the air bit by bit until nothing can be seen, only remaining in the air. There is a faint orchid fragrance that lingers for a long time.

The elegant and unique orchid fragrance is Bai Junmo's favorite flavor, and yesterday's boredom seems to be diluted a lot by this orchid fragrance. After moving his limbs that were a little stiff from sleeping, Bai Junmo felt that he hadn't slept so deeply in a long time, or , He hasn't been this bored for a long time.

After a simple grooming, he pushed open the lightly-covered door, and Liu Huaiyi was rushing over. Seeing that Bai Junmo had woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief but was a little nervous at the same time: "Wake up."

"Um"

"Go back quickly when you wake up, the palace sent someone over, saying they want you to go back?"

"What? Did you say what it was?"

Regarding the fact that someone from the palace asked him to go back, Bai Junmo's expression was reluctance, his brows were frowned, and he was more depressed than anyone who owed him millions.

Liu Huaiyi sighed helplessly, knowing that Bai Junmo didn't want to go back, every time the emperor and queen came to him, there must be no good things, either forced marriage or let him learn how to manage the government in advance, but these two things were the last thing Bai Junmo wanted to do Two things, but today may be different from any other time in the past.

"Someone brought a message, saying that the empress had fallen in Huilan Palace, and told you to go back quickly."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Bai Junmo said as he walked anxiously out of the courtyard, his words were full of worry for the queen and dissatisfaction with Liu Huaiyi's indiscriminate disregard of priorities.

"How is the queen mother now? What did the imperial doctor say? Is it serious?"

"You don't have to worry too much, I heard it's just a twisted waist, nothing serious"

Hearing what Liu Huaiyi said, my nervous heart eased a little, and my steps were slower than before, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's okay, didn't you say why?"

"It is said that the maid accidentally knocked over the water in the washbasin. Before we can deal with it in the future, the Empress slipped and fell down."

The brows that had been stretched just now were frowned again, and said displeasedly: "What about the maid?"

"I have been punished to Xinzheku...but..."

"But what?"

Liu Huaiyi sighed, and Bai Junmo realized that Liu Huaiyi was acting weird, he didn't think or say anything like before, he didn't seem to be the same as himself, he seemed to be thinking about something all the time.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, Bai Junmo looked sideways at Liu Huaiyi who was hesitating to speak, and asked curiously: "What's going on with you today, you're just chattering, what exactly do you want to say?"

Liu Huaiyi pursed her slightly dry lips, stared at Bai Junmo sympathetically and asked, "Did you sneak out of the palace again yesterday?"

"I......"

Bai Junmo remembered what happened last time. Because of the injury there, he stayed in Liu Huaiyi for three days. When he returned, the entire East Palace, dozens of maids and servants, were all punished by the emperor with heavy sticks. Painful for him, begged the emperor to spare him the punishment, but also issued an ultimatum, forbidding him to leave the palace privately.

"If you sneak out of the palace like this in the future, if you don't burn down my Wuyou Pavilion, the emperor will personally come and seal my Wuyou Pavilion."

"I... If he blocks it for you, I'll help you open another one bigger than this one. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of this, I'm just worried for you. The emperor and queen are so worried about your concubine marriage now, and you run to my place of fireworks so frequently. Time forces you to marry concubines and concubines, don't blame me."

"I... how could it be possible, you think that everyone likes men as much as you do, but I'm a good gentleman with good roots, so I don't have the habit of breaking my sleeves"

Liu Huaiyi pouted helplessly, squinted at Bai Junmo, who was blushing and awkward, and said angrily: "Don't be so absolute, everything in the world is possible, who knows if you will one day He suddenly changed his mind and went in the opposite direction.”

"You... let's see"

"Look and see"

Liu Huai also cursed in her heart, you have already slept with a man, who knows if you will suddenly feel comfortable being served by a man in the future, and you will really be with a man at that time.

Bai Junmo was speechless for a while, but when he thought about the princess concubine, he had a headache. It wasn't that he didn't want to accept concubines, but he really didn't like any of the beauties that the emperor and queen found for him. There is something missing about women, they are so vulgar and unlovable.

But if you ask Bai Junmo what he likes, he can't answer it himself. Liu Huai has also asked him many times, but in the end he only got one result, "I like it."

"Bai Junmo, what kind of woman do you like?"

"Didn't I tell you, I can do whatever I like."

"Heh~ I like it. You can't even tell what you like, so how can you find it? Is it possible that you really... like men?"

"Go away, stop talking nonsense, if I like men, I will marry you first and be my princess first."

The corner of Bai Junmo's mouth raised a playful smile, and Liu Huai, who was looking directly at him, was numb and had goosebumps all over his body: "You can put it down, I'm not interested in the princess, and I'm even less interested in you."

"Is that why you look down on me?"

"Well, I don't like it, I don't like it no matter how you look at it upside down, left, right, and vertical"

Bai Junmo sneered, and after a while, he suddenly said seriously: "You have moved out of the Shangshu Mansion by yourself for more than two years, have you ever met someone you like?"

The smile on Liu Huaiyi's face gradually became unnatural. Thinking about the two years of encounters, he couldn't help but feel that he was ridiculous. In this place of fireworks, how could he meet someone who treats him sincerely? They are just passers-by Forget it, Liu Huaiyi came here for him, who wasn't just because of his appearance.

I used to fantasize about finding someone with a white head, but after seeing a lot in the Wuyou Pavilion, I saw it and thought it through. Anyway, in the end, I have to obey my father's arrangement to marry a wife and have children, so as to open up branches and leaves for the Liu family. Even if you meet that person, so what if you can't stay with him for the rest of your life, then you give up this idea.

"Speaking of you! Why bring me up, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself, I see, if you don't hurry up, the emperor and queen may really make a decision for you and arrange a meeting for you." The candidate for the princess they fancy"

Liu Huai also hurriedly changed the topic, trying to hide the sadness in his heart, but from his dodging slightly drooping eyes, Bai Junmo still saw the flash of loneliness and helplessness in his eyes, and his nose was sore for a while. Friends who have played since childhood can one day find someone who treats him sincerely.

"they dare"

"Why don't they dare, they are the empresses of your father and mother, the orders of your parents and the words of matchmakers have never changed. Even if you were born in the royal family, you will not escape this fate. How can you allow yourself to decide the matter of marriage?"

As Liu Huai also said, an involuntary sadness flashed in his eyes. He was born in a family of officials and officials. They seemed to be well-clothed and chic, but who knew the helplessness behind this. Enjoying the splendor and wealth that ordinary people can't enjoy, but also bearing the unknown helplessness, their fate is not in their own hands at all, everyone will be a pawn of power and interests.

"The empress has an accident, the emperor can't find you, and the staff is in charge of the pavilion for thirty, and all the cronies and servants in your palace have been replaced. In the future, you may not have a chance to come out again."

"what?"

Bai Junmo's face was full of astonishment, and he looked at Liu Huaiyi in shock: "What you said is true?"

"When did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go back and have a look."

Liu Huaiyi's tone was firm, Bai Junmo knew that he would not lie to himself, let alone joke with him about this kind of thing, the expression on his face instantly disappeared without a trace.

Yue Qingchuan was lying on the bed feeling suffocated and uncomfortable. Tang Ze went to decoct him and hadn't come back yet. He got up out of boredom and walked out the door, wanting to breathe fresh air.

"General Moon"

Hearing someone calling him, Yue Qingchuan turned his head in surprise, and saw Wang Shu walking towards him, with a tray in his hand with a beautifully crafted soup cup.

"Is the son calling me?"

Yue Qingchuan pointed at himself incredulously, his face full of doubts, as if he had only met the young man in purple in front of him once.

"Is there a second month general here?"

Wang Shu smiled slightly, and raised the soup cup in his hand: "General Yue was injured and his body was weak. Wang Shu specially helped the general stew ginseng soup to replenish his body. I hope the general will accept it with a smile."

Yue Qingchuan was a little overwhelmed by the flattery, the whole person stood in place as if petrified, staring blankly at the attentive Wang Shu in front of him.

"This......"

"Why, the general hates Wang Shu?"

"No, no, no, I, Yue Qingchuan, He De He Neng, how can I bother you to cook soup for me personally, but I won't be rewarded for nothing, Yue Mou really dare not be it"

"As long as the general likes it, it doesn't matter if Wang Shu washes his hands and makes soup."

"what......"

Yue Qingchuan was a little dazed, always felt that the person in front of him had ulterior motives, but he really couldn't understand the reason, and subconsciously felt that it was better for him to stay away from this person.

"Well, Yuemou thanked you for your kindness. My body is strong. There is no need to waste these good things. You should take them back and drink them yourself!"

"I......"

Before Wang Shu could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting the conversation between the two and breaking the embarrassment between them.

"My son was kind enough to cook ginseng soup for General Yue himself. How could General Yue be so ignorant of good and evil and reject someone's good intentions?"

As Bai Junmo said, he stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the soup cup in Wang Shu's hand, and the fragrant ginseng soup overflowed instantly, making the mouth water and salivate.

"Well, it smells so good. I hope Mr. Shu is good at cooking. Why didn't I realize that you still have such good cooking skills. If you have a chance in the future, cook some for me, so that I can enjoy my food too, okay?"

Bai Junmo smiled warmly, looking at Wang Shu's eyes so soft that they could melt water, but for some reason, Wang Shu always felt that the person looking at those tender eyes was terrified.
