"Princess? Why are you here?" Lu Yunzheng was a little surprised and glanced at Liu Qiaoer quickly.
Liu Qiaoer shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.
Princess Mingxin stepped forward tenderly and bowed to Lu Yunzheng: "Sir, I am in the capital. I heard that my father was not in good health, so I came here anxiously."
If the Queen Mother were still alive, she would never have allowed her to come to Mobei.
But now the intrigues in the capital have become more and more serious, and no one cares about her, so she ran away secretly.
Lu Yunzheng also quickly returned a salute to Princess Mingxin.
"Since you are here, please go inside. The general misses the princess very much."
Now that Princess Mingxin has arrived, Lu Yunzheng has to accompany her.
After all, without Princess Mingxin, General Zhenbei would not have been able to hand over the military power to Lu Yunzheng.
Even if Lu Yunzheng wanted to start as a small soldier, he would need someone to support him. With Princess Mingxin, he could at least take a shortcut.
In the past, Lu Yunzheng was a little lax about military power.
Ever since Du Zixu came and told Liu Qiaoer about the situation in the next three years, Lu Yunzheng became more determined in his goal.
Since the Crown Prince and the Third Prince do not serve the people when they are emperors, he might as well turn to support Zhao Ziyu, who at least is a good emperor who serves the people.
Although Lu Yunzheng is smart and talented, his biggest dream is not to be promoted to a higher position, but to be with Liu Qiaoer and live an ordinary life.
Whether he was helping his father overturn a verdict, passing the imperial examination, or becoming an official, he wanted to use his own strength to seek peace, tranquility and relative fairness, just like his father.
Who knew that fate would bring him to Mobei? Now that he is here, he has to make the best of it.
Although she knew that Lu Yunzheng might not come today, Liu Qiaoer was still waiting for him.
It was snowing heavily outside, but the house was warm and I didn't know how much time had passed.
Liu Qiaoer saw Lu Yunzheng's bamboo-like figure appear in her yard.
Liu Qiaoer was so happy that she ran over and said, "I thought you weren't coming tonight. How come General Zhenbei and Princess Mingxin didn't invite you to dinner?"
Heavy snow fell on Liu Qiaoer's face and body. Lu Yunzheng took off his cloak and put it on her.
Lu Yunzheng wiped the snow off her hair with his rough, warm hands and smiled gently.
"They were having a father-daughter reunion, and I, as an outsider, couldn't get a word in. I was just delayed by Du Zixu, who was planning to arrange a sneak attack on New Year's Eve."
The two of them talked as they walked into the house together. The room was warm and filled with the aroma of hot pot meat. Then they heard Lu Yunzheng's stomach growling with hunger.
Liu Qiaoer chuckled: "It's a good thing I waited for you, otherwise, you would have to go to bed hungry."
I added a piece of charcoal to the fire and some hot water to the pot, and soon the soup in the pot began to boil.
Add mutton, pork, tofu, bean curd sheets, and fish fillets.
The two of them sat facing each other, and Liu Qiaoer was warming a pot of fruit wine beside them.
The two talked and laughed, as if they had returned to the past.
From afar, Princess Mingxin saw this scene from the attic: a small courtyard and a simple and plain guest room.
Because of the charcoal fire, they opened the window and ate and drank face to face. It was an indescribable beauty and harmony.
And the man sitting inside was the husband that the Queen Mother had pointed out to her.
After many twists and turns, they were still tied together, and this time, Lu Yunzheng did not refuse.
After Princess Mingxin woke up, she had lost a lot of her memories. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she was happy that the result was what she wanted.
Her father's words echoed in her ears, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Daughter, as a woman, don't be so narrow-minded. Lu Yunzheng is the man you like and you chose him yourself. Even if he has a favorite woman, it's nothing more than that. In the end, you are still the legal wife."
"Although he doesn't like you now, after you get married and have children, his heart will naturally be with you."
Yes, among the nobles in the capital, every family has three wives and four concubines.
She couldn't use her own parents' standards to demand Lu Yunzheng.
Besides, Lu Yunzheng was not that outrageous. His heart and eyes were only focused on one woman, Liu Qiaoer.
Ehuang and Nuying are a famous story. If she continues to pick on Liu Qiaoer, I am afraid that the noble ladies in the capital will not sympathize with her. Instead, they will say that she is stingy and picks on a female doctor.
But Princess Mingxin knew very well that Liu Qiaoer was definitely not a simple female doctor.
If she wants Lu Yunzheng to accept her, she has to accept Liu Qiaoer. It really makes her feel depressed.
With a snap, the window was closed, and Princess Mingxin lay directly on the bed without even taking off her shoes.
The maidservant Dongzhi hurried forward to serve: "Princess, don't be angry. After two months of traveling, you finally came to the general's side. Now you have someone to rely on. The princess should take care of her body as soon as possible."
Little did people know that Princess Mingxin did not run away after living there for the rest of her life, and her health has been poor ever since.
General Zhenbei also advised Princess Mingxin today to give birth to a child for the Lu family to consolidate their position, but how can she give birth to a child when her body is not clean
Princess Mingxin lay down for a while and then sat up again.
"Go, tell Liu Qiao'er what I said. Since she is willing to keep the secret for me, she is the only one who can treat this disease. If anything happens to me, my father will not forgive her..."
In fact, Winter Solstice is not as cruel as Frost Descent. Like Chunxiao, she is a kind and honest girl.
Hearing Princess Mingxin's tone, he couldn't help but advise again: "Princess, you should just calm down. Since Miss Liu is the only one who knows about our affairs, why not wait until she cures the Princess's illness first?"
"Besides, Miss Liu saved the princess' life. If it weren't for her, the princess would have already..."
Unexpectedly, before Dongzhi could finish her words, she saw Princess Mingxin looking at her coldly.
"Are you my maid or hers? I don't care about a mere Liu Qiao'er. Go quickly and ask her to treat this princess..."
Dongzhi knew that there were some things that she, as a servant, could not say.
But when she arrived at the gate of Liu Qiaoer's yard and looked at the two people talking and laughing in the house, she really didn't want to disturb them.
Just when she was in trouble, Chunxiao came in with a pot of tea.
"Hey, Dongzhi, why are you here? It's so cold. Is there something wrong, Princess?"
Dongzhi seemed to have seen a savior: "Sister Chunxiao, the princess is weak. She is exhausted from the journey. In addition, it is really cold in Mobei. The princess feels a little uncomfortable. I would like to ask Miss Liu to take a look."
Chunxiao glanced at the two people drinking in the room and smiled.
"The eldest master and Miss Qiao'er haven't had dinner together for a long time. I believe they enjoyed the drink this time. Come with me."
Liu Qiaoer had indeed drunk almost enough. Although the fruit wine tasted good, it was still wine after all. She couldn't drink much, so she felt a little dizzy after a while.
The remaining wine was given to Lu Yunzheng.
Looking at the beauty under the lamp, Lu Yunzheng squinted his drunken eyes and felt that Liu Qiaoer was more beautiful and lovely.
Just as he was about to invite her to meet again tomorrow night, his eyes caught sight of Dongzhi and the smile on his face instantly froze.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have let her marry Pei Yuanhai. Pei Yuanshan has been exiled anyway, so he can't cause any big trouble."
