In the Residence of Prince Rong.
The maidservant ran over with a letter in his hand. He called out nervously, "Esteemed wangfei, esteemed wangfei …" He ran towards the back garden where Shang Yiqing was, shouting.
Shang Yiqing was drying herself carefully with a few herbs in her hand. When she heard Little Ru running over, she glanced at her unhappily and asked slowly, "What's the matter that makes you so nervous? Slow down. "
"Royal Consort … "Esteemed wangfei …" Little Ru was already out of breath from running. She held the letter high in her hands and said, "Royal Consort …" Look... "Prince, he …"
When Shang Yiqing saw the letter, her eyes lit up. She quickly snatched the letter from Little Ru and asked, "Is it from the king?" Why didn't you say so earlier? "Let me take a look." He then hurriedly opened the letter and skimmed through it. She revealed a happy smile and said to Little Ru, "Your highness said that he won this time's first battle. He won the battle!"
"Esteemed wangfei, will the prince be back soon?" Little Ru Tian asked innocently.
She rolled his eyes at Lil 'Ru, but Shang Yiqing was both angry and amused at the same time. "How can a war happen that quickly? Even if it is, it would probably take at least one to two months." At this point, Shang Yiqing's eyes dimmed. Ever since Fang Zinan left, she had been worrying about his safety. Although he was happy to receive the good news, she didn't see anyone else.
Lil 'Ru saw the worry in Shang Yiqing's heart and teased her, "Princess, the prince has won a great battle and will be back soon. You don't have to worry too much about him."
"I haven't thought about it that much." Then, he carefully folded the letter and placed it inside an envelope. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if Ying Ying has received any news yet, but I need to go to the Xiao manor to tell her the good news right now." He lifted his leg and walked out.
"Royal Consort … "Esteemed wangfei …" Little Ru hastily chased after him and chased after him. "The prince said that he wasn't at home and told you not to run around."
"Lil 'Ru, hurry up and prepare my horse, don't be so long-winded." Shang Yiqing could not suppress her excitement. She wanted to share the joy and joy in her heart with Ying Ying.
As soon as the horse was out of the palace, its rider, like an arrow released from a bow, was on the street. After making a turn, they arrived at the Xiao manor. As they were rushing forward, they suddenly saw a horse charging at them. The man on the horse was also extremely fast. The two of them were unable to react in time and almost collided with each other. Shang Yiqing was still in a panicked state as she pulled on the reins, her horse's hooves raised high in the air. She almost fell off her horse. That person also hastily reined in his reins and barely managed to stand still. Her mount hissed and kept circling around.
When she saw that it was King Xuan, Shang Yiqing was shocked and frightened. Her face was cold, but she did not say a word.
"So it's Imperial Concubine Rong …" King Xuan seemed very calm as he smiled and asked, "Where is the wangfei going?"
"It's none of your business where I'm going. Hurry up and get out of the way." Ever since Ying Ying's incident, Shang Yiqing did not have a good impression of King Xuan.
Duke Xuan smiled faintly as he glanced over and asked, "Has Imperial Concubine Rong gone to find Lady Ying Ying?"
"Why should I tell you where I'm going?" She only hated that King Xuan was standing in front of him. Shang Yiqing turned her horse around, preparing to go around him.
King Xuan didn't stop her. He only said, "It's been so long since I've seen Ying Ying. Please allow esteemed wangfei to greet her on behalf of this king."
Shang Yiqing grunted and ignored her to return to the Xiao manor. King Xuan stared at Shang Yiqing as she entered the Xiao manor. He then walked forward, looking back reluctantly. In his heart, he had never intended to give up on Ying Ying. Even if the empress hadn't agreed, he hadn't changed his mind.
Shang Yiqing entered the Xiao manor and hurried to find Ying Ying.
Upon hearing that Shang Yiqing had arrived, Ying Ying rushed forward as well. She didn't make it to the court until three to five o'clock, but saw Shang Yiqing rushing over in a panic. When she saw her, she said, "Yingying, did you know that Fang Zinan won the battle?"
"It's true!" Ying Ying beamed with joy, not knowing whether to nod her head or shake it. "I haven't received my Big Brother's letter, did they really win the battle? This is great. "
"I received a letter from Fang Zinan, so I came over quickly to tell you." Shang Yiqing couldn't help but step forward and hold Ying Ying's hand.
Ying Ying nodded her head repeatedly. "This news is really good. I was originally worried about this matter …" Let's go into the room and talk. " Then, he pulled Shang Yiqing into the room.
As soon as Shang Yiqing sat down, she couldn't help but sigh even though she was still smiling.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about how long the battle between them will last. The journey to Dongyu is a long one, so I'm a bit worried." These days, Shang Yiqing had suffered greatly from lovesick feelings. She had never known that missing a person could sink deep into one's bones, and she would never be able to forget it.
Ying Ying pursed her lips and gave her a gentle smile. "Are you thinking of Big Brother Fang?"
Shang Yiqing said stubbornly, "I don't have any."
"Then why do you sigh?"
"I am only thinking of Big Brother Xiao. Swords don't grow eyes in a battlefield, so I'm afraid that Big Brother Xiao will be in danger."
Hearing Shang Yiqing's words, Ying Ying smiled again and said deliberately, "Don't worry, my big brother has been through hundreds of battles. What kind of things haven't she experienced? Furthermore, she won the battle this time. There shouldn't be a problem …" "If you're worried about Big Brother Fang, then just say so. Why are you trying to take advantage of my big brother?"
"Hua!" Shang Yiqing's face turned red as she frowned, "You could even tell that, why did you expose me?"
"I'm not like you. You obviously like me from the bottom of your heart, but yet you're unwilling to say it." Ying Ying looked at her teasingly and sighed. "You obviously like Big Brother Fang so much, so why must you deny it?"
Having been exposed, Shang Yiqing's face grew even redder, as if two red clouds had been cast over her head. She stammered, "Yingying, if you saw through it, why did you insist on breaking it?"
"Weren't you always straightforward? "Why don't you admit it?" Ying Ying teased her again. "I like it when big brother Fang is always so magnanimous, but you're still so timid. You don't look like you at all."
"You still said …" And I've already fallen out with you! " Shang Yiqing acted as if she wanted to hit Ying Ying, who jumped and jumped away laughing, causing a ruckus between the two of them.
After the ruckus and laughter were over, Ying Ying sighed. "This is the first time the emperor has sent Big Brother Fang to the battlefield. He's too weak, so I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."
Shang Yiqing replied calmly, "It doesn't matter. Men fighting in the battlefield is a natural thing, he should be able to handle it."
"Although I said that, I still feel a little worried …" Ying Ying revealed a worried look.
Shang Yiqing looked at her, smiled, and raised her voice, "Yingying, the ones fighting in the battlefield right now are Fang Zinan and Brother Xiao. You should be worried about your brother, right? Have you regained your passion for Prince Rong? "
"Don't misunderstand …" Ying Ying anxiously waved her hands, "That's not what I meant. My big brother has gone through hundreds of battles, all large and small, but this is the first time that Prince Rong has been on the battlefield, and everyone is very concerned about this, so this battle can only be won, it can't be lost! "
"I know what you're worried about. I was just joking." Seeing that Ying Ying was truly worried, Shang Guiqing tried to persuade her with a smile.
