Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 58
Master Zong took the opportunity and said: "The Jinren are so cruel, the Ninth Prince must never fall into their trap again."

The Ninth Prince looked around, sat down first, and said in a loud voice: "Let's leave tomorrow, and meet with the troops of the kings from all walks of life to discuss the plan to expel the Jin soldiers!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to accept the order: "Obey! I will follow the prince to the death, drive out the golden soldiers, and revive the rivers and mountains."

The Nine Princes arranged the next military operations one by one. Seeing that Yue Pengju was not seriously injured, and knowing that he was very brave, he thought for a while and said, "Yue Pengju, you lead a vanguard to join King Qin's Sichuan-Shanxi Army and set off tomorrow. .”

The duty of a soldier is to be on the battlefield.Yue Pengju was overjoyed when he got the chance to use it again: "Observe."

He glanced at Hua Rong, and seeing Hua Rong looking at him, his face was full of joy.Also happy for him to get another chance.Hua Rong's heart moved, and he glanced at him, and the siblings immediately understood that Hua Rong wanted to fight to go to the battlefield with him.He nodded slightly, and was about to plead for his life, only to hear the Ninth Prince concerned: "Pengju, is the injury serious?"

"No problem."

"Very good. Yue Pengju, you loyally protected the lord, and rewarded you with a hundred taels of gold. In addition, Princess Wanwan was saved by you and was escorted by you all the way to escape safely. Now that the country is ruined and her family is dead, Wanwan has nowhere to go. Marry Wanwan to you, and at the same time reward a mansion in the west of the city as a wedding house. When the war slows down, this king will personally officiate the marriage for the two of you. You can just rest assured and lead the army, and Wanwan will stay in Zhizhou Mansion..."

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Hua Rong stood aside, stunned.

Yue Pengju was also so flustered that he didn't know what to say, so he just kept shaking his hands: "My lord, you absolutely must not..."

Ninth Prince was very surprised: "Why not?"

"The golden army is still alive, and if you dare not do anything, you will not be able to marry Princess Wanwan in the end!"

The people in the hall were all envious when they saw that the Ninth Prince had rewarded Yue Pengju so generously. It was obvious that Yue Pengju was responsible for saving him.Seeing his refusal, he thought he was being modest, Master Zong always regarded him as a disciple, and was very happy for him, immediately said: "Pengju, the prince loves you, you don't have to give in anymore..."

Yue Pengju was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "My lord atones for my crime, the villain dare not marry the princess..."

Seeing that he resolutely refused, the Ninth Prince wondered, "You are already married?"

"Never."

"Parents object?"

"The villain's parents are dead."

"Then why do you refuse? Could it be the princess who despises fleeing?"

"Don't dare. However, the villain must never marry the princess..."

The Ninth Prince turned his gaze to Hua Rong, and said with a smile: "Marriage is about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Yue Pengju has no parents, so the eldest sister is the mother, Hua Rong, you will be the master for your younger brother, how about it? "

The eldest sister is a mother!

Hua Rong was so shocked that he couldn't regain his senses, his head was buzzing, he didn't know whether such a marriage, which was so close to the dragon and the phoenix, would bring Yue Pengju a good thing or a bad thing.

She rolled her eyes in a panic, and saw the envious expressions of the people around her. She herself had lost her relatives for many years, and she never understood the ways of the world, and she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that she was panicked by being questioned, Yue Pengju couldn't help but want to answer for her, only to hear her slowly say: "Pengju is not my real brother, I dare not call myself an 'eldest sister', his affairs are up to him. Make up your mind. I can't interfere."

The Ninth Prince chuckled: "Okay! Yue Pengju, since your sister doesn't object, this matter is settled like this. You can go to the battlefield without worry, and your family will be taken care of..."

Sweat dripped from Yue Pengju's head: "Ninth Prince, please forgive me, I must never marry the princess..."

Mr. Zong was very impatient, this Yue Pengju really didn't know what to do, and pushed the rewards that came to him.He has always admired Yue Pengju, and wanted to keep this good marriage for him, and said loudly: "Yue Pengju, it's a very important time, so there is no need to refuse, the Ninth Prince loves you from the bottom of his heart, and I have a teacher-student friendship with you, count you My teacher, now, I will be the master for you and make this marriage. When the war slows down, I will choose another auspicious day to marry you..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could Yue Pengju say a word?He couldn't help looking at Hua Rong, but seeing her quietly backing away, under the candlelight, he couldn't see the expression clearly.

"Okay, that's it. It's getting late. Everyone, take a rest and set off tomorrow. Yue Pengju is injured. He needs to rest for a day and set off the day after tomorrow."

"Yes."

This is the boudoir of the former Zhizhou's daughter, and it was temporarily sorted out for Princess Wanwan's use.Wanwan hugged the thick brocade quilt and sat beside the coals, looking at the door uneasily.

After a long time, Mrs. Li opened the curtain and came in with a happy face, "Miss, I just heard good news."

"This is a mess, what good news will there be?"

"The Ninth Prince ordered you to be betrothed to Young Master Yue."

Wan Wan was surprised and said: "Really? What did Mr. Yue say?"

"Young Master Yue naturally declined a few words..."

Wan Wan blushed: "Why did he refuse?"

"The young man is thin-skinned, but he accepted it quickly. The young lady is both talented and beautiful. It is too late for Mr. Yue to like it." Seeing Wanwan's silence, Mrs. Li thought that the young lady disliked being lowly, and persuaded her: "If it was a peaceful age, the young lady You can marry a better marriage. Now that the war is in turmoil and the situation is precarious, you have to have a man like Mr. Yue to protect him. Besides, Mr. Yue is a good-looking talent with a reliable character, even the first-class son of the capital can't compare to him. He is humble at this time, and he will be promoted and used by the prince in the future, so he is afraid that he will not be able to be promoted to a noble? Miss, you should be wronged first..."

Wanwan shook her head and blushed: "I'm not wronged, the first time I saw Brother Yue, I liked him very much..."

Mrs. Li said happily: "Now, Miss has been settled for the rest of her life, which is considered a great fortune among misfortunes."

"Nurse, brother Yue will go to war the day after tomorrow?"

"correct."

"I want to see him."

"Let's go tomorrow, in the middle of the night, he was injured, so he went to rest early..."

"Because he was injured, I'm going to take a look..."

"It's true..." Li Shi laughed, "Miss, I'm confused. It used to be Mr. Yue, but now it's my uncle. My uncle is injured. Naturally, Miss should go and see."

"Nurse, you're laughing at me again."

A pot of charcoal was burning in the living room, and there was a crackling sound from time to time.

Sitting by the brazier, Hua Rong and Yue Pengju didn't know what to say for a moment.His arms and chest were wrapped with thick gauze, Hua Rong asked in a low voice: "Pengju, does it still hurt?"

He shook his head.

After a while, Hua Rong raised her head, seeing him looking at her all the time, she smiled, and wanted to congratulate him, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't speak, her heart seemed to be full of small gravels, crushing her Out of breath and panic, I have never felt such a strange feeling in my life, sadness, fear, anger, pain... all kinds of feelings are intertwined, but I can't say anything.

"elder sister……"

"Pengju!" She stabilized her mind. When her younger brother grows up, it's time for him to start a family and start a career, right?But, watching him marry someone else, why do you feel heartbroken?
She forced a smile and said: "You are injured, go to rest early, and you will go to war the day after tomorrow."

Yue Pengju didn't make a sound.

Neither of them mentioned the marriage gift from the Ninth Prince, Hua Rong avoided it on purpose, but Yue Pengju didn't know how to speak.

Someone knocked on the door, and then there was an extremely crisp voice: "Brother Yue..."

The door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind poured in. Wanwan was wearing a snow-white fur coat, with snow-skinned and flowery appearance, like an elf. Li Shi followed behind her, smiling all over her face.

"Brother Yue, Sister Hua, you are all here..."

"Ah."

Hua Rong replied with a strong smile, seeing that Wanwan had already sat down beside Yue Pengju: "Brother Yue, are you injured? Is it serious? Does it hurt?"

She spoke in a friendly tone, holding a pack of things in her hand: "This is a supper prepared by the chef of Zhizhou Prefecture. It doesn't taste very good. Later, I will make it for you myself. Brother Yue, are you hungry? Eat quickly Bar……"

Mrs. Li also said: "Young Master, you can try it, the lady specially brought it for you..."

Uncle?

Hua Rong's ear-piercing sound made her froze for a moment before she came to her senses, Pengju was indeed her "uncle".

She looked at Yue Pengju inadvertently, but seeing him blushing, she shook her head: "No, I'm not hungry. You guys go back first."

"Brother Yue, I will stay here to take care of you tonight..."

"Uncle, you need to eat more and take care of yourself as soon as possible. From now on, my young lady will be taken care of and protected by you, so I can relax..."

Because he was given a marriage, so the name is justified!
Hua Rong couldn't watch anymore, felt dizzy, and was eager to leave here.

"Pengju, I'm sleepy, let's go rest first."

"elder sister……"

Wanwan heard Yue Pengju call her, turned her head, and smiled sweetly: "Sister, you have worked hard, I will take care of Brother Yue tonight, you go to rest..."

"Okay, I'll leave Pengju to you. I'm leaving."

She turned around and left, Yue Pengju stood up: "Sister..."

She walked out without looking back, Wanwan looked at Yue Pengju unexpectedly: "Brother Yue, Sister Hua is tired, let's talk about things tomorrow..."

Yue Pengju watched Hua Rong's back disappear before turning his head: "I still have something to do, it's inconvenient here, princess, you go back first."

"Brother Yue, why are you called Princess? You should call me 'Wanwan'..."

"Yeah, Uncle, they used to be called 'Wanwan', but now they're different?"

"Don't dare! At that time, I didn't know the identity of the princess, but now, I don't dare to be presumptuous. Princess, please go back."

Wanwan saw that his attitude was cold, not as polite as before, and there seemed to be an anxious refusal in her eyes, she was taken aback for a moment, after all, she was a smart girl, although she felt wronged, she immediately pulled the wet nurse: " Let's go first..."

Mrs. Li was shrewd, he laughed and smoothed things over: "Then let's see my uncle tomorrow."

"No, I'm in good health, you don't need to come and see me!"

Mrs. Li didn't make a sound anymore, supported Wanwan and left.

Back in the bedroom, Wanwan frowned, sat at the table, rested her chin on her hand, and did not go to sleep.

Mrs. Li came to help her: "Miss, after traveling around for so long, I can finally sleep peacefully. Go and rest."

Wanwan felt a little uneasy: "Nurse, tell me, is Brother Yue not willing to marry me?"

Mrs. Li laughed: "My dear lady, you think too much. You are both talented and beautiful, and it is too late for Mr. Yue to be happy. Besides, this is a marriage bestowed by the prince..."

"But why do I think he likes Sister Hua?"

"Nonsense, Miss Hua is several years older than him, they are just siblings."

Wanwan hesitated and said: "They are not real siblings. I asked about it on the way. Sister Hua is only four years older than Brother Yue. She has a small appearance and looks four years younger than Brother Yue. Maybe..."
