Chapter 118 The Princess' Knight (12)
The man's face was slightly solemn. "But I estimate that it will be after the hunt at the latest. The old man is concerned about his health. If he gets sick, it will cause trouble for others to fight for military power."
The girl in yellow nodded and said, "So, this is why Sister Qing asked everyone to come out tonight to see if there is any way to urge the Emperor to hand over the military token to Master Ba as soon as possible."
Zong Pu smiled, glanced at the woman in blue, and said, "I thought someone was using the name of a gathering to ask the Eighth Master out for a meeting. After all, the Eighth Master is newly married. If they were to ask him out privately..."
The blue-dressed woman was startled, while the yellow-dressed girl scolded her with a smile, "Sister Qing wants to date Master Ba, and she still needs to use us as an excuse? She told Master Ba to pass on a message, and Master Ba won't come to see her right away?"
Kou Zongpu raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Maybe Qing'er can't let go of this face. We all know that Qing'er is good to Master Ba, but I don't know why she has always refused to accept his affection."
The woman in blue glanced at him lightly and said, "Master Zong is still drunk from the wine he drank at the brothel a few days ago, and he is talking nonsense here."
The man laughed and said, "Qing'er, why do you care about him! He is unhappy because you invited everyone here tonight but didn't invite him, so he said some dirty words to hurt you. Don't forget, there is a person here who came uninvited. If he has the guts, go and say these words to Lao Ba, and see if Lao Ba will forgive him."
Xiao Zongpu was not angry, but smiled and said, "That's exactly what I'm unhappy about."
Everyone was at a loss for words. The woman in blue snorted coldly and said, "I heard that Lord Zong caught a cold, so I didn't let the secret guards notify you to go on this trip out of kindness. If I had known this would happen, I would never have shown you any mercy."
Zong Pu had been teasing intentionally or unintentionally, but at this moment, he was slightly startled. Soon, his face returned to his usual smile.
The girl in yellow glanced at him secretly.
At this time, the woman in green laughed and said, "That's strange. Since Qing'er didn't invite you, Master Zong must have the ability to predict the future, otherwise how would he know to come?"
"Qing'er didn't invite him, but Master Ba did. I guess he has something to tell him." Zong Pu said with a chuckle, then asked in confusion: "We've been here for quite a while, why hasn't he come yet?"
The woman in blue frowned slightly when she heard this. Everyone was also startled. King Rui was always very strict and measured in his work. If he couldn't come, he would definitely send someone to inform him. Even if there was something that delayed his coming, he would still send someone to inform him. But now, at least an hour has passed, and there is no movement at all.
After a few more hours, the blue-clothed woman closed her eyes heavily, stood up and said, "Since King Rui is not here, it is not easy for us to discuss anything. After all, there are many things that need his opinion. Let's go today. I apologize for letting you suffer from the cold night."
"Sister Qing, it's okay. Let's wait a little longer." The girl in yellow said softly.
Zong Pu joked, "You are willing to wait, but I may not. Madam's beautiful face has been frozen into nothingness."
The woman in green pretended to spit at him and said angrily, "Madam, I will wait."
The man groaned for a moment and said, "Jinghong must have something urgent to deal with so he can't come. Let's go first. I'll send someone to check it out."
As he spoke, he looked at Zong Pu with a faint smile on his lips, "You are right, you rascal. I just love my wife."
Zong Pu laughed softly.
The man continued, "Lao Zong, you send Xiaoyao back, and I will send someone else to escort Qing'er away."
Zong Pu said: "With Xiaoyao's kung fu, others may suffer at her hands. Besides, she looks like she will never get into trouble."

The yellow-dressed girl smiled coldly, "Come on, come on, come on, I won't bother you, Lord Qingzong of the Dali Temple, I can go by myself!"
Zong Pu hesitated for a moment, then walked up to her and said, "Since it is my master's order, I will spare you the trouble and send you there once today."
The girl in yellow turned her pretty face and was about to curse, but after thinking for a moment, she whispered, "Zong Pu, you send Sister Qing'er off."
The blue-dressed woman smiled and shook her head, "Master Zong, please send Xiaoyao away. My father and my wife will leave first. Qing will stay here for a while longer. Didn't my father say that the people inside the temple are his people, and the people outside the temple are the secret guards assigned to Qing by King Rui. I am very safe here, and there will be secret guards to see me off when I leave, so it won't be a problem."
The girl in yellow still felt something was wrong and wanted to say something, but Zong Pu glanced at the girl in blue and put his hand on her shoulder, "Let's go."
The girl in yellow was shocked and embarrassed, "Zong Pu, grandma is not married yet, take your claws away!"
The man and the woman in green smiled and nodded at the woman in blue, and walked out of the small archway first.
The blue-dressed woman put her hand on her forehead and listened to Zong Pu's voice gradually fading away. "Little one, don't worry. Although men and women should not touch each other, your elder brother Zong has never treated you as a woman."
"Zong Pu, go to hell—"
The girl's voice gradually faded away. She sat down on the stone bench again, reached out to pick up the cup she had just drunk from, and held it tightly.
The first time she asked him out, he broke his promise.
Even when faced with an emergency, she always handled it calmly. But at this moment, she suddenly felt irritated and even a little angry.
Prince Rui's Palace.
Qiaochu was lying on the bed. There was still a faint fragrance lingering from the place where the man had slept on the other side. She smiled gently and suddenly remembered something. She said, "Mr. Jing."
Jing Ping's voice soon came from the small couch outside the tent, "Jing Ping is not sleeping, Master Qiao has something to tell Jing Ping."
Qiaochu thanked him and continued his talk.
Jingping was stunned for a moment, then agreed.
He got up from the couch and did what she asked. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly remembered what happened many years ago and the story she had just told him. He hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Master, please forgive me for being so rude. What is the moral of the story you just told me?"

Thank you for reading. Dear friends, there will be another update later, you can read it tomorrow.
Chapter 119 The Princess' Knight (13)
"Why didn't the soldier stand there for one more day? He would have been within reach of success."
He couldn't help but say one more sentence.
The small lamp on the table, which had just been lit, illuminated the curtain.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed on the tent, and Qiaochu seemed to sit up, thinking about something.
The slender figure was moving slightly, and the long silk was moving slightly.
Jing Ping's face flushed, and he suddenly dared not look anymore. He sat back on the couch and closed his eyes. After a while, he heard the woman's voice coming softly. "I heard that this old story has many meanings. The most common saying is that if the soldier persists until the 100th day, the proud princess may regret it, but if he leaves on the 99th day, the princess will remember him for the rest of her life."
Jing Ping was stunned for a moment, and then his mind suddenly became clear.
Many years ago, his mother was a concubine of a wealthy family in Chaoge. Although she was born in a humble family, she was beautiful and intelligent, and was deeply favored and loved by his father. Later, his mother was framed by the eldest lady and was accused of having an affair with a farmhand in the mansion. Although his father was passionate, he loved the eldest lady the most, so he no longer believed in his mother, beat her severely to a disability, and drove the three of them out of the house.
His mother was also remarkable. Although she was kicked out of the house, she later met the emperor and Concubine Chang who were traveling incognito. With the help of Concubine Chang, she managed to find out the truth and clear her name.
His father loved his mother from the beginning, and tried to make amends in every way he could, but his mother did not go back. Instead, she lived in a nunnery and died soon after under the green lamp. Concubine Chang adopted them.
Before his mother died, she told him that if they went back to that family, he and Jingqing would die, because their father loved the eldest lady the most. Their father did not blame the eldest lady for this incident, and such incidents might happen again in the future.
Who can guarantee it
Only if she left there would their father remember her for the rest of his life.
He never understood—
Only then did he understand. Although the two stories were not the same.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "But, what does this have to do with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly shocked. There were some questions that he shouldn't have asked, but he actually asked too many questions!
Regardless of whether the master loves this woman or not, since he married her in a formal ceremony, she is also half the master of this palace. How can he casually ask her questions just because she seems to have no temper? Damn it!
He was a smart man, but at this moment he didn't know what to do, so he quickly stopped talking.
Sitting back on the couch, I heard Qiaochu whisper:
"Maybe it's related, maybe it's not. I don't know. Let's see what he thinks. I overstepped my bounds by telling your master such a story."
Jing Ping was stunned again. Her words were very vague, but he suddenly seemed to understand what she was thinking.
This slightly clearer, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Feitian Temple.
The girl in yellow followed Zong Pu out of the temple's backyard. She still felt uneasy and said, "I'd better go back and wait with Sister Qing."
Zong Pu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. She was startled and almost bumped into his back. She was about to scold him, but suddenly she was stunned. She pointed at the familiar man and woman behind the temple gate and said in a daze: "Master, Madam, didn't you leave?"
The two people were the woman and man in green. They smiled, and Zong Pu turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaoyao, they didn't leave because they were waiting for you."
The girl in yellow was startled, and the girl in green pulled her aside and whispered something in her ear.
Zong Pu put his hands behind his back and glanced at the man calmly.
"What did you mean?"
The man had known him for many years, so he was not afraid of his anger. He laughed and said, "Master Zong is here to question me, but unfortunately I don't know what you are talking about."
Zong Pu sneered and said, "Then I will remind you, why did you let Xiaoyao answer the question about me and my adoptive father going to have a drink? You know that she doesn't understand these power calculations. Do you think everyone is Qing'er and Lang Linling? Why embarrass her?"
The man looked back at him calmly and said softly, "Zong Pu, I know she doesn't understand, but I also know she wants to keep up with you, wants to discuss matters with you, and wants to get your recognition and appreciation."
"Forget about Concubine Lang. You shouldn't mention Qing'er too much! You and I know better than anyone else that she is the only woman Shangguan Jinghong has chosen. I know that you respect him as your master, and that you, Zong Pu, value him as your friend the most. So, you should be more cautious about Qing'er."
"Xiaoyao is a good girl, our favorite girl. So what if I help her? Zong Pu, you are the one who makes things difficult for her! If you don't like her, just tell her clearly and don't let her have any hope."
Zong Pu's face changed slightly, he closed his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the Eighth Master? Why hasn't he come yet? When the secret guard sent me the letter, he said that if I don't see him after a few cups of tea, I should wait for him at the temple gate in the backyard."
The man raised his lips, "Who knows if he and I got the same information as you, we can only wait."
Zong Pu frowned slightly, and his mind was confused. He smiled softly and said, "Could it be..."
It was so quiet everywhere that no one could hear the monks chanting in the evening class. It was late at night, probably almost four o'clock. Although he was newly married, the emperor only granted him three days of leave because there were many things in the court that needed his participation.
The woman in blue smiled coldly and reached out her hand to fiercely brush the tea set on the table.
It's the fourth watch, he won't come! The fifth watch is the morning court! He must be dreaming with his beautiful woman in his arms, he never wants to be like this
