He knew that Yi Yue Pengju had such a bad temper that he would admit immediately if asked, and then the situation would be beyond control. He looked at Hua Rong inadvertently, but saw that she was still expressionless.
Although Hua Rong stood aside and tried to calm down, in fact, his heart was beating wildly and his breathing seemed to have stopped. The days of fighting with Yue Pengju were thrilling, but he lived a very happy life. But once he returned to Yingtian Mansion, he felt temporarily at peace. , but she was worried, not knowing how to face the Ninth Prince, Wanwan, and she didn’t know if Yue Peng would be able to resign and marry. Now that he really said it, she was even more scared, and she didn’t know whether the Ninth Prince would agree or not.
The Ninth Prince couldn't help but said: "Hua Rong, the eldest sister is a mother, what do you say?"
Hua Rong couldn't avoid it, so he just said loudly: "I completely respect Peng Ju's opinion! He is not happy with the sweetness of the forceful melon, so Hua Rong also boldly begged the prince to be lenient and allow him to resign."
Before everyone returned to the army, they heard passers-by exaggerate Hua Rong's story in the army in a magical and brilliant way, saying that she held high the banner, shot Zong Wang personally, and fought bloody battles with Jin Wushu. Everyone thought that the woman who was fighting on the battlefield was not The tigress should at least be strong and tall. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I see her standing at the back, with an erect figure. When she is quiet and quiet, she is like a flower on the water. Now when she opens her mouth, she is like a new oriole emerging from the valley, crisp and firm. The sound was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
Everyone didn't know whether they were siblings, and everyone secretly thought, this sister is so ignorant, how could she openly indulge her brother in regretting the marriage and ruin his bright future
The Ninth Prince did not expect that she would so clearly support Yue Pengju's repentance of the marriage. Now, his suspicions were confirmed, and he was even more displeased. He did not answer the question and only said: "Yue Pengju, your mentor, General Zongze, still protected you back then." Media, I still need to ask him about this matter."
When Yue Pengju saw that he was resisting and resisting, he could no longer care about it and said loudly: "I only ask for this reward! Please grant it to me, Your Majesty! I also know that this is a disobedient act. I just want to fight the enemy bravely in the future and apologize to Your Majesty and Teacher Zong."
His tone was firm and his attitude was resolute. The Ninth Prince had nothing to say anymore. In front of everyone, he promised first, and Hua Rong, the "eldest sister and mother", also wanted to regret the marriage. The two sides were attacking each other, so he had to say: "Okay, in that case , I will officially cancel your marriage to Princess Wanwan. However, as a punishment, even if you perform three major meritorious services, you will not receive any reward."
Everyone in the hall was surprised when they heard this. The Ninth Prince's move basically blocked Yue Peng's path to promotion and wealth. Who can guarantee that he can achieve more than three great achievements in his life? Everyone was puzzled, why did Yue Pengju regret his marriage to the princess like crazy and destroy his own future
Yue Pengju was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Yue Pengju saluted again before stepping aside. He quietly looked at Hua Rong, but saw a hint of joy in her eyes. They understood each other and were both elated.
The Ninth Prince looked at Hua Rong inadvertently, but when he saw the joy flashing through her eyes, he felt quite uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, everyone, how is the military situation now?"
Everyone discussed the military situation again, and Yue Pengju handed over his suggestions on establishing the Song Dynasty cavalry. The Ninth Prince looked at it, put it aside, and said that they would discuss it tomorrow.
Hua Rong returned to the room arranged for the female family members and was about to rest when she heard that the Ninth Prince was coming.
She quickly opened the door and saw the Ninth Prince walking in with Xu Caizhi with a smile on his face.
Because she was grateful to the Ninth Prince for allowing Yue Pengju to resign from the engagement, her attitude was extremely respectful: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"
"Rong'er, I just read a piece of advice submitted by Pengju, and I think it's very meaningful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
"This proposal to form a large-scale cavalry of the Song Dynasty is very feasible. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, in order to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Liao Kingdom, starting from Taizu, we have allocated a sum of money from taxation every year." The purpose of sealing the pile warehouses is to recruit warriors to lead the Northern Expedition one day. The Jin army invaded and looted more than 70 "sealing pile warehouses", but there was one largest hidden place that few people knew about. When the situation calms down a bit, , I will send someone to take it out..."
Seeing that he appreciated Pengju's advice, Hua Rong said happily: "Do you have the funds to recruit warriors now?"
"Wealthy gentry and noble families from all over the country have sent a lot of gold and silver, and it can last for a while."
“It couldn’t be better.”
"Rong'er, just stay and help me."
"Haha, Your Majesty, what can I do?"
"Being a cavalry instructor. You and your brother and sister have been fighting together these days. I believe you have become more experienced."
This coincides with Pengju's view.
"Rong'er, I received a secret report that Zong Han's army is coming to Yingtian. Currently, among the generals of the Song army, only Du Chong can fight with him. Therefore, at the third update tonight, Pengju will follow Du Chong. Lead the army to march..."
Hua Rong was very surprised. Although Du Chong commanded an army of 30,000 people, except for Yue Pengju's several thousand troops, most of his subordinates fled without a fight. Her tone could not conceal her disappointment: "Are you in such a hurry?"
"Rong'er, Du Chong is far-sighted, and Pengju is a rare good general who has grown up very quickly. I am not worried about him at all. Just stay in Yingtian Mansion and I will rely on you to train the cavalry of the Song Dynasty."
Hua Rong suddenly realized that he had been "trapped" - he could no longer fight with Peng Ju.
However, she couldn't find any loopholes and had no way to refute.
The Ninth Prince took a long breath and stood up: "Rong'er, I'm going to rest. You should rest early."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He walked a few steps and then turned back: "Rong'er, I took the Miss Wu family as my concubine that time just out of political necessity..."
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course this is what the prince should do."
The Ninth Prince saw that she showed no sign of sadness and didn't know what it was like. He sighed and walked out slowly.
It looked like it was already getting late. Yue Pengju would be leaving in two hours.
She was so upset that she didn't care about any taboos. She opened the door and went out to look for him. As soon as she went out, she saw Yue Pengju coming in a hurry, sweating profusely: "Sister, I was just coming to find you. I have to leave at midnight." …”
After the two of them entered the house and closed the door, Hua Rong asked, "Then when will you come back?"
"I'll come back as soon as I defeat this group of golden soldiers. Sister, won't you come with me?"
"The prince has ordered me to help train the recruited cavalry."
Yue Pengju was very surprised, and felt that this arrangement was reasonable on the surface, but he felt uneasy after all. He whispered: "Sister, you have to be more careful... I'm worried about the Ninth Prince..."
"The Ninth Prince has just accepted a new concubine, and I have clearly rejected him before. If he mentions this again, I will reject it too."
Yue Pengju was still worried, so he said, "Sister, no matter what happens, just deal with it first and don't come forward. Wait until I come back to deal with it..."
"The Ninth Prince is kind-hearted and would not force others."
"Sister, I'm afraid of any embarrassment to you. When I come back victorious this time, I'll marry you, okay?"
Hua Rong's face turned red. They had the same mind. They knew that although Pengju had a pure heart, he was thoughtful and worried about long nights and dreams, so this was considered an engagement. She nodded and said softly: "Okay, I Waiting for you, I will listen to you."
Hua Rong nestled in his arms, and for some reason, she liked being close to him more and more, liked being held by him, and liked his touch... Everything about him was so good. She raised her head and looked at his pulse. With eyes in his eyes, his breath was like orchid, and he said softly: "Pengju, you should take care of yourself when you are out there, and you can't get hurt..."
He said softly: "Yes, I will certainly do it. I will definitely take care of myself and marry my sister as soon as possible."
She blushed and looked forward to it. Pengju had officially resigned from the engagement, and she would soon become "Mrs. Yue". She would no longer be afraid of anyone, no matter what the King of Qin or the ferocious Jin Army. There is no need to be afraid.
Let him gallop on the battlefield and follow him to the ends of the world. Isn't this the greatest happiness for a woman
Early the next morning, Hua Rong got up, did morning exercises for a while, and came out after breakfast. She saw Wu Jinnu walking with a woman with a big belly in the garden next to her.
Due to the rush during the war, the Ninth Prince's family members all lived in the podium building in the garden area. There was only a parapet wall to separate them. Hua Rong also lived in a separate room outside because she was a woman.
Wu Jinnu also saw her, and Hua Rong couldn't avoid them when he saw them coming, so he bowed.
Wu Jinnu never showed up, and only served the Ninth Prince attentively. This was the first time Hua Rong had met her face to face alone in the daytime. But he saw that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a bright red Ruyi peony gauze shirt, middle upper Her posture, face and eyes all appear mature than her actual age.
The woman accompanying Wu Jinnu was extremely beautiful, in contrast to Wu Jinnu. Her name was Pan Yingying, who was originally a member of the Ninth Prince's family in the capital. Before the fall of Kaifeng, she went home to visit relatives, but she heard the news and did not go back. , so she escaped with her life. She was recently sent to Yingtian to join the Ninth Prince. She served the Ninth Prince much earlier than Wu Jinnu. It seems that she is already eight or nine months pregnant.
Although she has a humble status and only had the basic title of "Madam" in the Ninth Prince's Mansion before, Wu Jinnu knows very well that all the Ninth Prince's children have fallen into the hands of the Jin people, and no one has been spared. Now Pan Yingying is expecting a child, and the mother is more valuable than the child. The Ninth Prince must have a man who was more respected than her in his heart. Therefore, she was very polite to Pan Yingying and served her wholeheartedly, and Pan Yingying was already ranked first among the concubines.
But at this time, no one received any reward, and they were all called "Madam".
After Hua Rong learned Pan Yingying's identity, he was very surprised, and he was also very surprised by the Ninth Prince. At such a critical moment, it would be a great joy for him to have a concubine who was about to give birth to an heir for him.
Wu Jinnu was extremely enthusiastic: "Hua Rong, I have heard about your sister and brother's deeds in killing the Jin army. They are truly heroic women."
Pan Yingying glanced at her intently and saw that she was beautiful and elegant. It was hard to imagine that she was that powerful. She was just exaggerating. She used to have a low status in the palace, but now her mother has risen to the top because of her son. She is arrogant and arrogant, not as good as Wu Jinnu. Introverted and smart, he was very domineering. He chuckled and said, "Are you really that powerful?"
"There are rumors outside and they are exaggerated. Madams, please don't praise them falsely."
Pan Yingying secretly said, "Sure enough." Seeing her beautiful appearance, she was very dissatisfied.
Hua Rong didn't want to continue chatting with the two of them, so she made an excuse and left.
