Let’s talk about Xiangzhou Camp.
After the Hua Rong siblings settled in Xiangzhou, Yue Pengju was quickly appointed to lead the troops in the war. Recently, he received an order to fight against a small group of Jin troops who came to attack.
Hua Rong found that he could only practice alone every day, and there was nothing else to do. Every day, the Ninth Prince arranged for people to deliver good food and vegetables, and also sent a lot of clothes, paper, ink, etc., and told him tactfully After all, she, a girl, is not suitable for being too public and fighting.
Hua Rong understood that although he took her in, he still had many concerns after all. The so-called Mu Guiying took command was just an excuse and could not be taken seriously. She thought that maybe her skills were not enough, but she did not complain impatiently. In addition to studying the art of war, I also practice martial arts diligently.
That evening, as soon as she walked out of the courtyard where she lived alone, she saw Xu Caizhi, the bodyguard of the Ninth Prince, coming in a hurry: "The prince has invited a girl."
She agreed and followed Xu Caizhi to the prince's tent.
The camp was very deserted. The Ninth Prince was not happy when he came, and there were no singing and dancing girls to cheer him up. He was the only one sitting on the desk, writing something slowly.
Hua Rong stood aside quietly and looked at it. She saw that although he was writing calmly, his expression was not peaceful. He must have something difficult in his heart. After a while, the Ninth Prince raised his head and handed the pen in his hand to her: " Just keep writing."
Hua Rong took the pen and saw that it was a piece of "Luo Shen Fu" written in cursive script. She didn't understand the meaning, so she just obeyed the order and picked up the pen to continue. Because it was a continuation, she imitated the handwriting of the Ninth Prince and waited until she finished. After finishing it, the Ninth Prince looked at it and saw that it was not much different from his own writing style. His face was filled with joy, and after a little modification, he made people put it away.
At this time, Hua Rong bowed and said, "What's important, Your Majesty?"
The Ninth Prince sighed: "The Jin people are approaching day by day, and I am afraid that the capital will not be protected."
Hua Rong said in surprise: "Isn't the capital heavily guarded? The troops from all walks of life are also coming. How can the capital not be protected?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head.
The two of them talked about the Jin soldiers marching south, and the court was in a hurry. The Ninth Prince felt that Hua Rong's views were beyond his expectation. It was only when she was taken in by the army alone, but now he realized that she was really special.
In such a state of mind, when I saw her sitting beside her, dignified and shining, her face was like a lotus and her eyebrows were like willows. She was extremely beautiful and a little heroic from Tsinghua University. After looking at her for a few more times, I felt short of breath and my heartbeat was beating.
Hua Rong saw that he looked weird and couldn't help but cough slightly.
The Ninth Prince woke up immediately.
Hua Rong asked something again, but when he saw that he was about to speak, he stopped asking. She has gone through many tribulations in the past few years and has seen the faces of the world. She should know what can and cannot be asked. She thinks to herself that she is not qualified to ask Jiu. Regarding the prince's affairs, he just bowed again: "Your Majesty, you have been working hard all day. Please take care of yourself. Hua Rong is leaving."
She was about to leave, but the Ninth Prince grabbed her by the wrist. Her face was slightly red. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince let her go immediately. He looked quite embarrassed and only held a stack of flower notes for her to enjoy: "Little The king had no other intention, he just remembered that he carried with him the golden note that his father had given him. The little king was too busy to appreciate it, so he might as well give it to the girl now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hua Rong accepted the reward and said goodbye. The Ninth Prince stared at her back as she walked away, but he felt that as time went by, her back became more graceful and beautiful. When the figure was no longer visible at all, he picked up the "Luo Shen Fu" he had put away and read it. Looking at it, I was very fascinated in my busy schedule, thinking that even if Luo Shen was alive, it would be nothing more than this.
Xu Caizhi, the attendant serving next to him, took a step forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not..."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"The prince is away from home all year round, and his precious body is strained. It is inconvenient not to have a close woman to take care of him. Miss Hua is both talented and beautiful. Now she is stationed in the camp in Xiangzhou to join the prince. Although she is a hero among women, she still has some inconveniences. She is not as good as the prince. It is justifiable to close the house..."
These words played into the hands of the Ninth Prince. When they met again this time, he was very surprised by Hua Rong's beauty. In addition, the two of them had a good temperament. He felt that there was no such a pleasant woman in his life. He was very willing to take Hua Rong into his house. Wanken. He walked for a few steps before saying, "Hua Rong is so talented and beautiful. It would be wrong for her to close the house hastily."
"It is a suitable career in the army. When the situation is stable, the prince will accept her as his concubine and give her a title. In this way, won't everyone be happy?"
"That's true. I just don't know what her intentions are."
"Her sister and brother were saved by the prince. They have long been deeply grateful to the prince. Otherwise, they would not have come to seek refuge with the prince. Think about it, she is a single woman and has never been married. She has come all the way to be with the prince. Wouldn't she be able to do that? The meaning of physical commitment?"
The Ninth Prince was so enlightened that he was overjoyed. Heroes save beauties, and beauties naturally love heroes. Otherwise, how could a woman not enjoy peace and happiness at home, but go to the battlefield to endure such hardships and hardships
Xu Caizhi had followed the Ninth Prince for many years and was loyal to him. Seeing the critical situation, the importance of the Ninth Prince became even more self-evident. The Ninth Prince originally had a royal concubine, Princess Xing, and two favored concubines. This concubine gave birth to him a son and five daughters. However, they were all in the deep palace. She was originally a rich and weak lady, so naturally she could not accompany him on the battlefield.
Working hard in the army, the Ninth Prince is in urgent need of family care. The best thing is to have a talented and beautiful woman by his side. In addition to taking care of his daily life, she can also protect his life when necessary. In this way, isn't it true that he has the best of both worlds? Qimei? But it is very difficult to choose such a candidate. Even if the resident military commander has a powerful daughter in his family, he is careless, illiterate, and not good-looking.
Therefore, once Hua Rong settled in Xiangzhou, Xu Caizhi came up with this idea. He also saw that the prince favored Hua Rong very much and gave him more clothes and books, which was different from treating other women. Therefore, he made it clear. topic, Hua Rong volunteered to be a matchmaker for the prince, but Hua Rong agreed as soon as he said it.
Hua Rong returned to the house and remembered that the Ninth Prince was in a weird mood today. He sighed and sent bookmarks. However, he remembered that the capital was in a hurry and thought that his parents, wife and children were all in the capital. It was only human to worry, so he just thought about how to do something. Practical things to repay his life-saving grace.
That night, I didn't sleep well for some reason. Some nightmares kept flashing before my eyes, making me confused. I got up very early in the morning and went for some morning exercise, and then I felt much better.
As soon as I returned to the house and had breakfast, I heard someone knocking on the door.
She went to open the door and saw Xu Caizhi standing outside the door holding a brocade box with a smile on his face.
"Master Xu, please come in."
Xu Caizhi went in and Hua Rong asked him to sit down, but he stood aside respectfully, his attitude was a little different from usual.
He put the brocade box on the table and took a look at Hua Rong. He saw that she had a rosy face and a fit body. She was graceful but also heroic, and beautiful but also perseverant. In addition to her ability to move forward at a hundred steps, even her appearance was actually better than that of the prince in the palace. His concubines were so beautiful that they were even more joyful. He said in his heart that they were heroes and beauties. There was no one more suitable for the prince than her in the world.
Hua Rong looked at the brocade box on the table and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"A little gift from the prince."
"I'm really sorry that I bothered you so much."
She opened the box and found two brocade clothes and some treasures inside. She felt very strange, why did the Ninth Prince give these things? She was about to refuse, but she saw Xu Caizhi bowing to the boss: "I have something to report..."
She hurriedly gave in and said, "Mr. Xu, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it directly."
Xu Caizhi stood up with a smile on his face: "Congratulations first, miss, congratulations miss..."
Where does joy come from
"The girl is both talented and beautiful, and has a handsome character. It is true that the prince admires the girl very much and has always regarded her as a confidant. The prince has been away for a long time, and his rich body has been damaged by many strains, and he has no family members to take care of him. His superiors and subordinates are very worried about him. , and also thinking that there should be suitable family members to take care of his daily life. It happened that the girl came to Xiangzhou, and she was an old friend of the prince. It was a deep connection and a match made in heaven. The prince planned to marry the girl some day, and when the situation stabilized, he would take the girl back to the palace as soon as possible. After meeting Princess Xing and the other two empresses, I formally awarded her the title of empress and congratulated the empress on her prosperity and wealth, which she will enjoy endlessly from now on... "
Hua Rong was stunned, unable to react for a moment, and didn't know what to say. It seemed that he didn't understand what Xu Caizhi meant.
"This is a gift from the prince, please accept it..."
Xu Caizhi handed her a jade pendant for binding. Because the conditions in the military camp were poor, Prince Ninth Prince took off the jade pendant he carried with him as a gift. Hua Rong had seen this jade pendant, and it was given to Prince Ninth Prince as a gift. He immediately understood that this was not a joke, but really what the Ninth Prince meant.
She did not accept the jade pendant, nor did she kneel down to thank her. Xu Caizhi was a little surprised and handed it over again: "Girl..."
Hua Rong took two steps back, but still didn't answer. This Xu Caizhi was here to be a matchmaker, asking the Ninth Prince to take her in as a concubine. She was scared and frightened at the same time. She came to Xiangzhou Camp not to get married. Come here. Besides, although she comes from a poor scholar's family, her parents have taught her since she was a child that she would rather be a commoner's wife than a rich man's concubine. Even if she is a prince, she will never marry her as a concubine.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned over and spoke incoherently: "Thank you very much, Lord Ninth Prince, for your love, but this little girl's humble body is really not good enough to match the prince..."
Hua Rong was an orphan who escaped and was rescued by the prince from pirates. Xu Caizhi knew this past very well and thought he was going to give her a fortune, which was a sure thing. Although she was a concubine, it was anything but ordinary. The concubine was the prince's side concubine. According to the rules, she was to choose a young lady in the local area. Due to the difficult conditions in the military camp and the prince's love, she was chosen. Unexpectedly, facing this great luck, she But he declined.
Xu Caizhi just thought she was a shy girl, and laughed and said: "Girl, it's time for a boy to get married and a girl to get married. The prince is one of the best, follow him, you will be rich and powerful for the rest of your life, and you will have support. Besides, the Ninth Prince will also He needs someone to take care of him, and the girl understands his feelings best, so she is the most suitable candidate."
Hua Rong said sternly: "If you want a little girl to be a bodyguard to protect the prince, you will never frown even if you go through fire and water, but if you want a little girl to marry the prince, you absolutely don't dare. A little girl has a meager body, so she doesn't dare to climb high. …”
When Xu Caizhi saw her resolute refusal, he was a little annoyed and secretly thought that this woman was ignorant. She was unmarried and came from a poor family. How could she put on such airs? What's more, this is a military camp. If the Ninth Prince hadn't favored her, would he really want her to join the army like Mulan
"Please think twice, girl. Not only did the prince save your life, but he also appreciates your talent. It can be said that you are in harmony..."
These words were both soft and hard, but Hua Rong still didn't let go at all: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. This little girl will never dare to climb high."
The Ninth Prince was outside the window. He came quietly to see Hua Rong, but when he heard her resolute refusal to marry, it was like a ladle of cold water poured down his head.
In the room, Hua Rong was still talking to Xu Caizhi, but he couldn't listen any more and quietly turned around and left.
