Chapter 2090 Live up to His Highness’ High Expectations

The misunderstanding in my heart is a misunderstanding, but no one will pierce this layer of window paper, what if it is not the case?Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

After chatting with Duan Tiancheng, Shu Yong wandered away and he sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cold wind for a while. After a while, he got up and went to Yuning Pavilion.

Zhu Lingyu was leisurely reading the anecdotes that Rong Yi brought to her. They were all ancient legends from the Meng Kingdom. Whether they have any basis in reality remains to be considered, but they were written in such a magical and powerful way that it made her One cannot help but want to believe it.

Just when the rat spirit was caught stealing rice from the owner's house, Zhuyu came in and interrupted her thoughts.

"Madam, General Duan is here to see you."

Zhu Lingyu raised her eyebrows slightly. Why did he come to see her at this time?

I took a thin ginkgo leaf-shaped bookmark and stuck it in it. After closing the book, I got up and went to the outer room to meet him.

Duan Tiancheng came here under the influence of alcohol. After arriving here, he was a little dazed. Before he saw the princess, he felt a little regretful.

When he saw the princess coming out with a light gait and a calm expression, he swallowed slightly and moved his eyes downward, not meeting her clear eyes.

Zhu Lingyu sat down and raised her hand to indicate that he should sit down as well. Then she asked, "Why did you come to see me today?"

Duan Tiancheng clenched his fists and was asked. The words were clearly on his lips, but he couldn't say them out.

"Huh?" Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Lingyu frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion.

Duan Tiancheng said: "I... I just want to see my wife. She is doing well."

After hearing this, Zhu Lingyu confirmed that he was drunk, judging from his demeanor, his inability to speak, and the words he made up on the fly.

Without being angry, he just said: "As you can see, I am fine here. A few days ago, I went to my wife to ask for some story books, and she sent some. Before you came, I was reading inside."

Duan Tiancheng nodded, knowing that the princess would not have a bad life. If she had a bad life, he would be the first to find out.

"You came to me today not for this matter, right? You and I are as close as brothers. If you have something to say in front of me, you can speak out." Zhu Lingyu said this, hoping that he would relax and talk to her. .

Duan Tiancheng was no longer silent. He raised his head and glanced at the princess who looked like a goddess. His heart moved and his eyes flashed unconsciously. He said, "Manager Shu found me today. He is willing to give me a chance. Join the secret guard, but if so, I won’t be able to serve the princess all the time.”

Hearing this, Zhu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, looked at him for a long time, smiled and said: "This is a good thing, why are you so nervous? The meaning of reining in the affairs should be the meaning of the general. Since they intend to use you, It’s better than staying in this backyard.”

Duan Tiancheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he knew that the princess would react like this when she knew this, and she wouldn't care whether he was by her side or not.

When her mood plummeted, she heard her say again: "You shouldn't have been by my side all the time. I am no longer a princess, but you are still Duan Tiancheng. I now live in the backyard, with no worries about food and clothing, safe and sound, and there are people everywhere in the palace. Guard, nothing will happen to me. If you are only worried about this matter, then I will give you this confidence and you can do what you should do."

Duan Tiancheng remained silent, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.Zhu Lingyu was really happy. Even though they enjoyed very good treatment here, they knew better than anyone why they came here.The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and by marrying to Meng in this way, all opportunities and possibilities have been lost. In the future, you will be at the mercy of others, and there will no longer be any possibility of living for yourself.

Women are born like this, and they have to learn to be submissive and learn to live their lives in the courtyard of the four directions.

Zhu Lingyu lived like this before, and it is the same now. She knows exactly what it feels like to live such a dull day after day, so she feels sorry for Duan Tiancheng.

He shouldn't have been trapped here, with his life stopping until it became moldy and rotten. People like him should be gods on the battlefield and generals forever.

It's a pity that the Zhu State is too small to give him the opportunity to display his talents. Now that he has come as far as the Meng State, his identity has already strangled him by the throat. It hurts and there is nothing he can do.

Now, since there is such an opportunity, there is no need to let it go.

Zhu Lingyu knew in her heart that he had always protected her since she was a child and had never considered anything for herself. Now it was very difficult for him to make this choice. Even if he was intentional, he would not forget his mission. Forget the promises you made.

Then he said: "Go, Tiancheng, you shouldn't have wasted your time, just waiting for orders and following the prince. Your future will be brighter. No one wants to live this life in a mediocre way, and you are even less willing to live it. You should, I remember the way you shined when you were wearing armor, that’s how you should look.”

Duan Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then looked into her smiling eyes: "You... Your Highness, do you think so?"

Zhu Lingyu smiled: "Of course, you are the only one who still treats me as a princess. The State of Zhu is no longer here, but you and I were once people of the State of Zhu, and we still have the blood of the State of Zhu, no matter where we are. , I hope you can display your talents and let everyone see that even if Zhu Guo is gone, we are still here, and you, the former Zhu Guo general, are no worse than anyone else."

It is true that Zhu's past is a nightmare and there is nothing to miss, but after all, it is his mother country, and there will be some moments when he will miss it, just for the faith he once had in his heart.

The princess's words made his blood boil. She said that she wanted to see herself shining brightly. She also remembered the past. Did that mean that she had a place for herself in her heart.

Will one day, when he stands in front of her again, she will be unable to take her eyes away?
"Okay, the princess has said so, and I will definitely live up to your highness's high expectations."

"You can't let yourself down for all your hard work and forbearance over the years."

……

At night, Yu Heng came back. After drinking some wine, he was carried back by Hinayana. He happened to meet Qiu Xin who had finished dinner and was taking Ling Er, who was full, for a walk on the corridor.

When the two of them saw Hinayana and Yuheng coming back like this, Qiu Xin didn't react much, while Ling'er exaggeratedly covered her mouth and looked at Hinayana and Yuheng with shining eyes.

Huh!There are still scratches on Hinayana’s face!Ling'er discovered the important point and hurriedly pulled Qiu Xin away. She wanted to go back and tell her parents about such a big matter.

Awesome!Hinayana actually bullied Yu Heng!
Qiu Xin just thought she was here for fun, and let her pull her forward. She just nodded to Hinayana who looked embarrassed, and said hello.
