C90

Far away, they saw an additional man standing in front of his big tent. He frowned, and said in a low voice: "Sai Mi is here?"

Sai Mi had already seen him and walked over with large strides to pay his respects. With lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, he respectfully said: "Greetings, Your Highness.

"Yes, is the Valley Master well?" Yulixiao nodded and asked.

"Very good, Valley Master asked the Prince how he is, and told him not to work too hard. He even wrote a few new prescriptions for the Prince to help him strengthen his body, and I've already given them to Miss."

"Don't call us misses, if we are all princes' men."

Yulixiao chuckled as he spoke. Yulixiao lifted his eyes to look at her. She was dressed in male attire, and his hair was all coiled up in his little green hat.

"Chen Yao dressed like a man, you look quite decent." Yulixiao looked at it for a moment, then pointed at Sai Mi and said: "Since he's here, we should still follow the rules of the army, don't run around randomly, ask randomly, listen randomly, and if anything goes wrong, we should punish him according to military law."

"Yes." Chen Yao and Sai Mi hurriedly bowed together.

"Yu Yan is here. Go and get her a set of men's attire as well." After Yulixiao finished explaining, he strode forward to look.

"Your Highness, I've prepared lunch …" Chen Yao chased a few steps as she said loudly.

"I'll bring Yu Yan back. Wait a moment." Without looking back, he walked away.

Chen Yao's face turned ugly, she turned and walked back into the tent.

"Miss …" Sai Mi worriedly looked at her and whispered, "Otherwise, tonight I will …"

"Alright, don't talk too much." Chen Yao swept a glance at him. Her voice was somewhat shrill, and it was obvious that she was forcefully suppressing her anger.

Sai Mi retreated to the side before lowering his head. He stood there steadily, like a wooden stake.

When Yulixiao found Yu Yan, she was washing her hands and face by the small well.

He had spent the night in the carriage and had not washed up yet. He dipped the handkerchief in water and carefully wiped his face and neck. Suddenly, he thought of the scene where he used the handkerchief to wipe her body.

Yulixiao frowned and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Yan trembled in fright, she turned her head, her beautiful eyes opened wide, the handkerchief was covering her mouth, she angrily said: "How can you give me that!"

"That's just Jin Cheng's joke. When will I ever give you that …" Yulixiao only felt a large flock of crows flying above her head, their faces as black as the burning logs at her feet.

"Only the prince knows." How could Yu Yan believe that? She stared at him, sarcastically.

The corner of Yulixiao's eyes twitched, and the corner of his lips curled up – I should give Jin Cheng a marriage, whose daughter is the fiercest? Was it the girl from General Shen's house who knew how to wield two guns, or was it the girl from General Wu who was able to lift an ox before General Wu?

"Your Highness, everyone is waiting for your Highness' birthday!" General Fan Yi strode over, clasping his fists in a joyful manner. His voice was loud enough to hurt one's ears.

When the guards standing not too far away heard this, they immediately bowed and kowtowed, congratulating him incessantly.

Yulixiao did not actually want everyone to know about today's birthday, but the soldiers beside him still remembered. It was hard to refuse a favor, so he just let Yu Yan go back first. They were all tough guys. It was inevitable that they would be impudent when they drank.

Returning to the front of the tent by himself, he saw an unfamiliar man standing next to the tent. His face was dark, his eyes were bright, and his nose was hooked. A pair of silver earrings were attached to his ears.

New guards? Was he here to watch her? She looked at him once more and walked in slowly.

Chen Yao sat alone at the table, holding a bowl of tea and drinking it.

Seeing that she had returned, Chen Yao stood up with a smile and said gently: "I've been waiting for you.

Yu Yan was actually hungry, but was worried that Chen Yao would do something to her, but she only hesitated for a moment, then casually sat down, picked up her chopsticks and knocked them all on the table, then smiled: "Please do as you wish.

"Yes, Your Highness quite likes it too." Chen Yao also sat down, and said very naturally.

Yu Yan knew that Yulixiao was the one who took care of his daily life, so these things that were extremely close to him had to be done by his trusted aides. This was not the first time Chen Yao had flaunted his intimate relationship with her in front of her. Yu Yan smiled, grabbed some chopsticks, chewed on them, and nodded lightly as she praised: "As expected, it's delicious."

The smile in Chen Yao's eyes grew wider. She lightly rolled up her sleeves and personally picked up two other dishes for Yu Yan as she said gently: "Big sister should eat more. Big sister's body has always been weak.

"How can I thank Madame for being so kind to me?" Yu Yan looked up at her, the corner of her mouth slightly raised. Listening to her flattery, with some coldness, she didn't want to get too close to Chen Yao at all.

"What are you thanking me for? We're all sisters." Chen Yao's smile was still thick, she held up the wine pot and poured her a cup of wine, "This wine was brewed by Mingyue, she knows how to brew wine, the Duke often praised her."

When he pushed the white porcelain cup over, the wine that was slightly pale yellow in color lightly swirled in the cup. Yu Yan and Chen Yao looked at each other for a moment, laughed, and said softly: "I drank too much yesterday, and still have a headache, I will drink some tea."

"Sure." Chen Yao did not advise her, and kept the cup, and took a sip herself.

The food was stuffy, and the good thing was that the dishes tasted good, Chen Yao was too lazy to pretend to be elegant, eating two full bowls, replenishing the energy that she had expended.

Chen Yao was in charge of military doctors, after eating, she would go and do things.

Yu Yan could not fall asleep, and since sshe had no book to read, he came out to see. It was still the same guards outside the tent. Could it be Chen Yao's men?

She casually walked around the large tent while being ignored by the guards, allowing her to wander around freely. She did not know where Yulixiao was drinking at the moment, whether he had a beautiful lady accompanying him or not.

Far away, he saw Chen Yao surrounded by soldiers, asking her to treat her wounds and start medicine. When someone walked away from Yu Yan, they quietly praised Chen Yao's medical skills, and she was also gentle and beautiful, truly a good wife to the Duke.

Good wife? Yu Yan muttered these three words, and slowly walked towards the distant camp.

She was a bit depressed. In all honesty, she was the only wife that was given to her. However, she had never shown herself in front of everyone, never been acknowledged by him, and had instead been raised up for him to enjoy.

The smoke of the cooking fires was rising in front of them and they were almost to the kitchen. The makeshift stove made of stone bricks was lined up one by one. There were huge iron pots propped up on the stove. All the men were working hard, and the woman's figure couldn't be seen.

The brave troops were divided into three groups of six, the army, the city, and the city guards. They were divided into six groups: chariot soldiers, cavalry soldiers, crossbow soldiers, gunpowder soldiers, foremen, kitchen workers, and personal guards.

There were too many people, so the cooking didn't stop. As soon as lunch was over, he had to hurry up and prepare dinner.

She lifted her eyebrows and turned around, only to hear a loud shout from behind her. Her arm came into contact with something hard, and as that person yelled, he quickly threw himself towards the bamboo Luo that was flying away. Gray powder suddenly spilled out and was blown away by the wind, causing people to be unable to open their eyes, scattering everywhere.

Yu Yan wiped her face, and her palm turned white. Buckwheat flour!

"Oh my god, who are you? Don't you have eyes? " The little soldier in the green cloth apron was so anxious that his face turned red. He cursed and quickly kneeled on the ground. He carefully picked up the buckwheat powder with both hands and put it back into his large bowl.

"I'm sorry." Yu Yan also quickly squatted down and helped him place the flour into the wok.

"Do you know how tight the food supply is, and how terrible the food supply is?" The little soldier looked as if he was about to cry. His thin hands quickly pulled at the ground, but once the flour fell into the ground, it became dirty. It was impossible for him to scoop it all up.

"What's the matter with you?" A loud roar came from the top of their heads. They seemed to be little commanders. They were not wearing any armor and were wearing gray pants. They had a big and thick belt around their waist and held a big knife in their hands.

The soldier shook his head and picked up the flour even faster. "I'll get it ready right away."

"Sorry, I bumped into him." Yu Yan hurriedly explained to the little commander.

"He's a man, it's his fault that he can't hold onto a basket of food. How can he fight? "How do we kill enemies?" The little commander shouted.

The kitchen man looked at Yu Yan and said with a bitter face: "Yes, this subordinate knows his wrongs, and asks the household manager to punish him."

"It's better than you! You ruined a hundred people's dinner! I also don't allow you to not eat for a hundred days. Listen carefully, don't allow him to eat for three days, let me do the work for you. After he finished berating her, he looked at Yu Yan and asked, "Which camp's whore are you from, who allowed you to run around?"

"Hmm?" Yu Yan was just infuriated by his unreasonable punishment, and seeing that he called her a soldier prostitute, she stood up. Just as she was about to reveal her identity, she saw that the man in front of Yulixiao's tent was turning around and walking back. She withdrew her words from her lips, smiled, and said calmly: "I am a girl beside Madam Chen Yao."

Upon hearing Chen Yao's name, the little commander's expression immediately became respectful. She took a step back and clasped her hands together, bowing to her seriously, and said loudly: "So it's Madam's lady."

The corner of Yu Yan's mouth twitched. Chen Yao's prestige in the military was this huge! The little girls beside him could also receive their honorifics!

"This little brother was indeed hit by me. I will apologize to Lady Chen Yao and the Duke, and you should not punish him for not eating for three days. I might as well punish him with not eating tonight, and even more so with him diligently practicing martial arts. Don't be so thin anymore. " Yu Yan forced a smile and begged for mercy on behalf of the little soldier.

The little commander hesitated for a moment and said, "We could never have agreed to that. In the army, wasting food is a big crime. At least twenty-nine lashes and at most a hundred lashes. I only slightly punish him."

"I know, but I'm the one who's wasting food." Yu Yan squatted down, her hands moved on the ground, and said gently: "Let me do all of this first, don't let the wind blow you away too quickly."

"Alright, for the sake of Madam Chen Yao, quickly clean up the mess with this lady. If you dare be this careless again, I won't be polite." The little commander roared at the soldier before walking away in large strides.
