Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao became interested in the princess sent by the Northern Zhou Dynasty to marry.
"You mean, Shang Wu is in Tokyo City now?" Ling Xiao looked very surprised.
"Yes." Ling Qingwan felt puzzled. "Do you know Princess Shangwu?"
"Just a wild woman." Ling Xiao curled his lips.
Ling Qingwan frowned.
Why would Ling Xiao call the princess of Northern Zhou a "wild woman"? The two must have had some experience together.
"I met Princess Shangwu once before on the battlefield. I had only heard that the fifth princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Shangwu, had a heroic character, like a man. But she actually went to the battlefield."
Ling Xiao saw Ling Qingwan's concerns and explained it to her.
So that's how it is. Ling Qingwan felt relieved.
But when Ling Xiao left, Ling Qingwan thought about what he had said again and felt very strange.
But she couldn't tell what was strange.
Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
On the second day, just as Ling Qingwan had expected, An Yi came to the general's mansion early and asked Ling Qingwan to watch the fun.
"Brother Ling Xiao!"
Ling Qingwan had told An Yi earlier that Ling Xiao had recovered his memory. The little girl was very happy to see him back.
Ling Xiao walked down the stairs and An Yi immediately came to greet him.
"Brother Lingxiao, when did you come back?" An Yi blinked and looked up to ask Lingxiao.
"I came back yesterday." Ling Xiao smiled gently.
After regaining his memory, Ling Xiao became as gentle as before and no longer as unreasonable as he was when he lost his memory.
"There is a martial arts competition at Boliangtai today. I knew you would come to find me to watch it, so I thought of telling you today." Ling Qingwan said with a smile.
Shen Chengzhou came out, An Yi greeted Shen Chengzhou, took Ling Xiao in front, and chatted with him.
The little girl was very sensible. Although she often complained about Ling Xiao, when she was in front of Ling Xiao, she never said a word of disapproval.
So, Shen Chengzhou brought the three juniors and went straight to Boliangtai.
Because Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao had won a victory, they were now famous figures in Dayue. When they arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Especially Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao, wherever they went, people came to chat with them.
Ling Qingwan didn't like interacting with others, and she and An Yi felt that they were at the back of the group.
"I've never seen these people treat General Shen so well before. Now that General Shen has made great contributions, they all come forward to greet him, as if they are very familiar with General Shen." An Yi sneered.
Ling Qingwan smiled.
They finally sat down, and Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao felt much more at ease.
An Yi disliked these flatteries, and so did Shen Chengzhou. He was willing to reply to them, but in fact, it was just a superficial effort.
Not long after they sat down, a guard brought in several plates of food.
"Miss Ling Er, these are some cakes that the Seventh Prince asked his subordinates to bring for you to eat as snacks for fun."
After saying that, the guard placed the plate on the table. When he opened it, it was filled with Ling Qingwan's favorite pastries.
"Oh my! I wonder if my brother Lingxiao and I can eat these." An Yi smacked her lips and said with a smile.
Ling Qingwan pinched a piece of cake and stuffed it into An Yi's mouth.
"If there's food to eat, just eat it. Why are you talking so much?"
An Yi finished the pastries handed to her by Ling Qingwan quickly like a little hamster.
Ling Qingwan and Ling Xiao found An Yi's appearance adorable and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"These two must be General Shen's grandchildren."
Suddenly, a voice came from above their heads. When they looked up, they saw a man with smiling eyes. They didn't know whether he was looking at Ling Qingwan or Ling Xiao.
This man is Manxing.
Next to him, Wei Xun stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Don't you see there are three people here? Why do I only see Brother Lingxiao and Wanwan? Do you take this princess seriously?" An Yi complained angrily.
"An Yi! Don't be rude." Wei Xun scolded her neither lightly nor harshly.
Although it was a scolding, apart from the fact that the voice was a little higher, there was no hint of accusation in it.
"My niece is still young and is spoiled. She doesn't know the rules. Please don't blame her, Your Highness." After saying this to Anyi, Wei Xun turned to look at Manxing.
Niece? It was the first time that Ling Qingwan heard Wei Xun call An Yi "niece" in front of so many people. She always found it very funny.
After all, An Yi is only three or four years younger than Wei Xun. Usually, An Yi always dares to be brother Wei Xun.
"The princess is quirky and very interesting. I like her so much that I can't blame her." Manxing looked at An Yi with a smile on his face.
An Yi got goose bumps all over her body.
Why is this Northern Zhou prince talking so much nonsense? He is clearly no different from Dengtu Zi.
"These two are indeed my grandchildren. Your Highness has good eyesight."
Seeing Manxing making fun of An Yi, Shen Chengzhou spoke up and calmly helped An Yi out of the predicament.
Ling Qingwan also subconsciously held An Yi's hand.
An Yi felt warm in her heart, and she pouted at Ling Qingwan, her eyes full of emotion.
Although the little girl was noisy, she knew right from wrong and who was good to her.
"I've heard before that General Shen has a granddaughter named Qingwan. She's stunningly beautiful and kind-hearted. Now that I see her today, it's true." Manxing looked at Ling Qingwan with a look of satisfaction on his face, and he was not stingy in expressing his approval of Ling Qingwan.
Although Ling Qingwan didn't like Manxing, she still stood up and returned the greeting to Manxing out of courtesy.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. Wanwan is the princess I personally selected. Naturally, she is superior to everyone else in both appearance and ability." Wei Xun's words not only declared his sovereignty, but also praised Ling Qingwan.
Man Xing didn't say much about Wei Xun's actions.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard cheers coming from all around. On the stands, a thin man wearing a mask faced a sturdy man, but he was not inferior to him at all.
The thin man knocked the man opposite him down with just a few moves.
For a moment, everyone present cheered.
"Shangwu?" Ling Xiao blurted out.
"Young General, do you know my Fifth Sister?" Man Xing was surprised, and then nodded as if he had suddenly realized something. "I remember now. Before, my Fifth Sister went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the young general fought with her."
It turned out that the thin man wearing a mask on the stage was Princess Shangwu.
Ling Qingwan stared at the stage closely.
"Shangwu! Stop messing around! Come down!" Manxing yelled towards the stage.
Shang Wu looked in the direction of the voice, took a few glances, and then went down obediently.
"My fifth sister has been a wild child since she was a child. She doesn't know any rules or etiquette. Please forgive me." Then, Manxing apologized to several people.
Ling Qingwan had no time to care about Manxing, her mind was now full of Qi Shangwu.
For some reason, Ling Qingwan's strange feeling became stronger when Ling Xiao blurted out Shang Wu's name.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shang Wu had already taken off her men's clothes and rushed in front of them.
