Great Tang princess

Chapter 523 Jian'an Prefecture

After Gong Renyou, governor of Jian'an Prefecture, heard the hurried report from his subordinates, he was puzzled at first.

What is the dignified princess of a country going to this borderland with nothing to do?Could it be a fake?The key is that I haven't received any notice from the court.

It stands to reason that the notification of a nobleman of the princess's level coming to the border should have arrived at least one month in advance. How can there be such a thing that this person has not been notified yet?

But when his subordinates said that the other party was holding a fish talisman, he couldn't sit still, and immediately got up and hurried towards the city gate.

Once the fish talisman is revealed, the nature of this will be different. If the military situation is delayed, then I will be unable to eat and walk away.

He followed his subordinates to the gate of the city in a hurry, and before he arrived, he saw the tall and bright red figure at a glance.

A woman with a conspicuous stature standing among a group of men is indeed very rare. Coupled with that hairstyle that can be called rebellious in this era, she is really too conspicuous.

In fact, now Wang Wuqiong has also started to imitate her appearance and wear ponytails, including female soldiers in the military camp and girls in schools basically have this hairstyle now.

But in the outside world, this hairstyle is still hard to see.

Even the foreign women on the prairie have braids one by one, not loose like hers.

Gong Renyou's attire was obviously different from the others. The armor on his body was much more gorgeous, the standard Mingguang armor.

Immediately after coming in front of him, he saluted: "Your Majesty, Gong Renyou, I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

"Gong Dudu is exempt from the ceremony." Li Yuechen raised his hand, "I am in a hurry this time, so the court notice has not arrived yet, please trouble the Dudu to send someone to bring the supplies..."

There is not much time now, and Li Yuechen didn't have time to be polite to him, so he immediately ordered him to bring the cannons and grenades on the ship.

Those materials are watched by special personnel, and people outside don't know the specific usage at all, so there is nothing to worry about.

Then Li Yuechen showed him the fish talisman: "In addition, I need to mobilize some troops here to go north with me to defend against foreign enemies..."

In fact, there are quite a few troops at the border, but considering that this time the national border will be pushed outwards and at the same time pay attention to management issues, so a lot of people are needed.

According to Li Yuechen's idea, bringing at least 100,000 people this time is enough for the follow-up work.

It may not take so many people to fight a war. After all, there are artillery and grenades, but once the border is pushed out, if the follow-up management cannot keep up, these nomads are very prone to riots.

In order to avoid such things from happening, so many people are needed to ensure that the land that has been conquered can be controlled by then.

At this time, the identity of Li Yuechen's princess was known. Gong Renyou immediately accepted the order and sent some to Yingkou to pick up the supplies. At the same time, he brought a roster for the princess to choose who would follow her north.

At the same time, the princess and others were also arranged in the post house, and they set off after everything was ready.

After staying on the boat for so long, he could finally take a bath with peace of mind. Li Yuechen immediately boiled water to take a bath that night.

This time I didn't bring Xiaohe here, so I left it to Wang Wuqiong to take care of her bathing.

……

There was a wooden barrel in the room, and Li Yuechen was lying in the water. The water vapor visible to the naked eye filled the surrounding air, making him look like a fairyland.

Wang Wuqiong carefully took the towel to help her scrub her body, looked at the hot kettle next to her from time to time, and made tea for her after it boiled.

Li Yuechen closed his eyes to enjoy, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, do you have a sweetheart now?"

This question stunned Wang Wuqiong, wondering why His Highness asked this suddenly, and after a few seconds of silence, he returned and said, "Return to Your Highness, there is no such thing at present."

"Then you have to hold on tighter." Li Yuechen smiled, "Speaking of which, you, like me, are 24 or [-] years old. If you don't look for it, this life will be over."

In this day and age, people get married early, and Wang Wuqiong, who is 24 or [-] years old and still unmarried, is already a leftover woman.

"Well, my subordinates don't have these ideas yet..."

"It's time to think about it." Li Yuechen said, "A person's energy is limited, and you will never be able to serve as my guard for the rest of your life. Now you are also an officer, and you will be promoted in the army in the future... It will be a long time, but if you still want to As a mother's wish, it's time to think about getting married."

If Wang Wuqiong really didn't want to get married, she definitely wouldn't say so.

But women in this era must have the idea of ​​being a mother because of the problem of traditional education.That being the case, it is better to have a baby early. In this day and age, it is quite dangerous for older mothers.

"Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness, but at this time..."

"In the future, the court ladies will also become a full-time army to protect the emperor. Although I have the idea to hand it over to you to lead, you have to understand that being the emperor's concubine may not be a good thing. Unless you can become a queen, a concubine will always be a concubine. .”

When Li Yuechen told her this, it was obvious that he really regarded her as a friend and did not want her to enter the harem to participate in those struggles.

After all, my mother is an exception. From a talented person to a queen, she has experienced many bloody and cruel struggles. It can even be said that besides her own superior ability, luck also played a large part.

"Your Highness, be careful, if people listen to your words, you will be in trouble!" Wang Wuqiong saw that her words were becoming more and more outrageous, so she hurriedly reminded her.

"It's okay, anyway, you have to think about what I said today." Li Yuechen smiled, "If you have the idea of ​​being a mother, it's better to do it as soon as possible."

"Yes, this subordinate remembers it!" Wang Wuqiong quickly agreed, for fear that the princess would say something outrageous again.

After that, neither of them continued to speak, and took a quiet bath.

Wang Wuqiong couldn't help sniffling, secretly said that it smells good.

Women who have reached a certain level of powerful families have been able to use various medicinal materials to take baths since they were young, so even if they don't wear a sachet, they will still emit a strange fragrance.

Li Yuechen was like this, perhaps because of his personal constitution, this scent was even more pronounced, usually as long as he was close to her, he could always smell a faint scent.

It wasn't obvious when she was young, but as she got older, many people around her had noticed it, except herself.

……

On the other side, in the room on the first floor, Liu Huang rested his hands behind his head, his eyes were wide open, obviously not asleep yet.

He couldn't help but wonder if he should find an opportunity to have a few more words with His Highness these few days...

In fact, many people in the military academy didn't know that although Liu Huang had several children now, he still didn't marry a wife, and those children were all born to concubines.

And the fact that she hasn't married a wife for so many years is because she can't forget Princess Li Yuechen.

When he was a child, he actually didn't have any special impression of the princess, he only knew that she had a noble status, learned from Ah Weng, and was regarded as his nominal junior sister.

But once, after she slapped her on the shoulder, the princess left an indelible impression on his heart.

This impression wasn't even good at first, he just simply felt that the princess was very strong, as a generation of dudes, he almost knelt down when he was slapped by a woman, thinking about it, he felt ashamed.

So at the beginning, he just wanted to practice martial arts well, and then when the time came, he challenged the princess to earn back the lost face.

But as he grew older, he also knew that this was completely impossible. This princess had already surpassed the category of "mortals", and she was definitely not something he could challenge.

Perhaps it was from that moment, when I carefully recalled the impressions of this princess in my heart over the years, that I suddenly discovered that her strength is not just about her strength.

She is good-looking, tall, and smart. She invents so many powerful things, and at the same time, she can make money, make wine, and manage the army well...

Thinking about it carefully, great strength may be the least worth mentioning advantage of her.

That is to say, from that moment on, Liu Huang could no longer tolerate other women in his heart.

But after all, he is old, and he also knows that if she is an ordinary princess, maybe he really has a chance. After all, he is also a famous general in the country, so it is still very easy to become a princess.

But she is not an ordinary princess, she is too important to the royal family, the emperor would never allow her to marry casually.

In this era when the matchmaker's words have legal effect, if the emperor refuses to let her marry, it is impossible for her to marry.

So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Huang will soon be 30 years old, and he is still a bachelor.

As for the concubine at home, to put it bluntly, it is a reproductive tool, and there is no love at all.

But he doesn't care, anyway, the princess is still unmarried at 25, isn't she?Even though he knew the hope was slim, Liu Huang still made up his mind that if the princess doesn't marry, he won't marry a wife for a day.

If one day the princess marries someone, but if that person is not worthy of her, then go and kill that person!
But if the princess never gets married, then she will not marry her for the rest of her life. Anyway, the bloodline is already there, so it won't affect the Liu family's flourishing.

If there is no son-in-law, it is not impossible for the eldest son to inherit the family business in the future... In this regard, Liu Huang sees it quite clearly.

But this is a secret in his heart, and he may never tell others in his life, let alone tell the princess.

Because he believed that with the princess's intelligence, he would definitely be able to see it. If he said it, it would only increase the embarrassment. If he transferred himself away, he would not even be able to see it in the future.

……

In fact, Li Yuechen can really see Liu Huang's thoughts. After all, he is a senior who has been with him since he was a child.

But Li Yuechen really didn't intend to say more, because what should be said has already been said, and at this age, the three views have been finalized, and it is definitely not something that he can change with a few words.

Anyway, Master's last wish was just to let the Liu family flourish. Now that they have several children, as for whether they have a wife... Li Yuechen doesn't want to worry about it anymore.

Anyway, in his own eyes, Liu Huang could be a senior brother, or even a buddy, but he definitely couldn't be a husband.

After all... For her, marrying a man... still can't accept it in her heart.
