Then there was the Xiangzhou Base Camp.
After the Hua Rong siblings settled down in Xiangzhou, Yue Pengju was quickly appointed to lead the troops to war. Recently, they received an order to fight a small group of Golden Army s who had come to launch a sneak attack.
Hua Rong realized that she could only train by herself everyday, and she had nothing else to do. Everyday, Ninth Prince would arrange for people to bring over good food and vegetables, as well as quite a bit of clothes, paper and ink. She tactfully told Yue Yang that it was not appropriate for a girl to show her face, and fight and kill each other.
One evening, just as she was about to walk out of her courtyard, she saw Ninth Prince's guard, Xu Caizhi, rushing over in a hurry, "Your Highness has invited me to meet you."
She agreed and followed Xu Caizhi to the Prince's camp.
The tent was extremely cold and cheerless, the Ninth Prince did not like to change his expression, nor did he have any songbird to cheer him on. He was the only person sitting on the Desk, slowly writing something down.
Hua Rong stood quietly at the side as she watched. Even though he had put down her brush, her expression was unsettled, and it was likely that there was something difficult going on. After a long while, Ninth Prince raised his head, and gave the pen to her: "You can continue."
Hua Rong took the pen and looked at it, and it was written with the words "Grass Letter Luo Shen Fu". She did not understand what she meant, but she did as she was told. Because it was a continuation, she imitated Ninth Prince's handwriting. When she finished writing it, Ninth Prince looked at it and saw that it was not much different from his own writing. Her face revealed a happy expression.
At this time, Hua Rong bowed and asked, "Your Highness, what do you need?"
The Ninth Prince sighed, "The Golden Man is closing in on us day by day.
Hua Rong was shocked: "Aren't the capital's military units heavily guarded? All sorts of teams from the Wing Wang are rushing over, how can we not protect the capital? "
Ninth Prince shook his head.
The two of them talked about how the gold soldier was heading south to the capital in a panic. The Ninth Prince felt that Hua Rong's views and opinions were out of her expectations and initially thought that she was taking in the army, but now she realised that she was different.
With such a state of mind, he could see that she was sitting by the side with a dignified air, her starry eyes were shining, and it made her seem like she was facing Liu Rumei. Her beauty was unparalleled, but also carried a bit of a valiant air.
Seeing that he looked weird, Hua Rong could not help but cough lightly.
Ninth Prince immediately woke up.
Hua Rong asked something else. Seeing that he wanted to say something but hesitated, she decided not to,. She had experienced all kinds of calamities in the past few years, so she had never seen anyone else's face before. She knew that she had nothing to ask, and thus did not have the qualifications to ask about matters of the Ninth Prince. She only bowed once, "Your highness has been working hard all day, please take care.
She was about to leave when she was pulled by the Ninth Prince by the wrist, causing her to blush slightly, but fortunately, the Ninth Prince immediately let her go, her expression becoming rather awkward. She only took out a stack of Stationery for her to enjoy, "Little Wang, don't have any other intentions, you only remember to bring along the gold letter that the Father bestowed upon you back then.
"Thank you, Prince."
Hua Rong took the rewards and took her leave. Ninth Prince stared at her leaving figure, but after getting along with her for a long time, her figure became even more graceful and beautiful. He waited until that figure disappeared completely before he picked up the and looked at it with a longing expression. He thought to himself, "Even if Goddess Luo was still alive, it wouldn't be this bad."
The attendant Xu Caizhi then took a step forward and said softly: "My prince, I have something that I don't know if I should say …"
"Feel free to speak."
"Your highness has been out all year round, and has suffered many injuries due to his wealth and noble body. It would also be inconvenient for you to not have a close female companion to take care of him. The Miss Hua is talented and beautiful, and now that the Xiangzhou Base Camp is stationed in front of the Duke, although she is a woman, she is still a hero, but there is still some inconvenience, why not the Prince take her in, if that is the case, it would be reasonable … "
This reunion, he had been amazed by Hua Rong's beauty. Adding the fact that the two of them had a similar personality, he had never in his life seen such a lovable woman, so he was naturally willing to take Hua Rong in. He took a few steps before he said: "With how talented Hua Rong is, it would be unfair for her to take care of the house in such a hasty manner."
"It is appropriate to do so in the military. When the situation is stable and the Prince takes her in as his lateral consort, doesn't that mean that he is giving her a name and giving her a position would make everyone happy? "
"That's true. I wonder what she thinks? "
"Her brother the Prince has been saved, and he has already been deeply grateful to the Prince. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to seek help from the Prince. Think about it, as a single woman who has never been married and has come all the way to the prince's side, doesn't that mean that she has the intention to repay him with her body? "
The Ninth Prince was enlightened, he was overjoyed. A hero saving a beauty, a beauty would naturally love to be a hero, if not, how could there be a woman who would not enjoy the blessings at home, and instead go to the battlefield to take the hardships and hardships of the battlefield?
As a result, the moment Hua Rong took up residence in the Xiangzhou, Xu Caizhi immediately had this thought. And seeing that the Duke really liked Hua Rong, giving him more clothes and books, compared to other girls, would naturally be different. Therefore, he raised the topic, and volunteered to be the matchmaker for the Duke. He only said that Hua Rong was willing to do it.
Hua Rong went back to her room, remembering that Ninth Prince's thoughts were weird today, as she sighed and sent him bookmarks. But when she thought about how her parents, wife and children were both in the capital, she felt that it was natural to be worried. She only thought of how to do some practical things to repay the favor of saving her life.
For some reason, he had not been able to sleep soundly that night. Nightmares were always drifting before his eyes, and he was in a daze. He woke up very early in the morning and went for his morning practice. Only then did he feel much better.
Just as he returned to his room and finished his breakfast, he heard someone knocking on his door.
She went to open the door, only to see Xu Caizhi standing outside with a embroidered box in his hands, his face full of smiles.
"Lord Xu, please come in."
Xu Caizhi walked in and Hua Rong invited him to sit. However, he was respectfully standing at the side and his attitude was a little different than usual.
He placed the embroidered box on the table and glanced at Hua Rong, only to see that her face was rosy, she had a strong figure, there was no lack of heroic spirit in her elegance, there was resolution to her beauty, other than the ability to pierce through trees with 100 steps, her appearance was even more beautiful than the concubines in the palace, she was happy, and in her heart, she called herself a hero, a beauty, there was no one else more suitable to be the Prince.
Hua Rong looked at the embroidered box on the table and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"A little gift from the prince."
"Sorry for the trouble, Your Highness."
She opened the box. Inside were two pieces of silk clothing, as well as some treasures. He was confused, what was Ninth Prince doing giving these things to him? Just as she was about to reject, Xu Caizhi bowed to her and said, "This humble one has something to report …"
She quickly gave way to him. "Sir Xu, it's alright if you have something to say."
Only then did Xu Caizhi stand up, and with a face full of smiles, he said, "Congratulations, Lady He Xi …"
Where did it come from?
"Lady, you have both talent and appearance. You are a very handsome person. To be honest, your highness has always admired you and has always been a close friend to you. His Royal Highness had been out for a long time, and his noble body had suffered many injuries. He had no family to take care of. The servants and servants were very worried for him, and they all considered that there should be a suitable family to take care of him. It can be said that her relationship is deep, and the heavens are on her side. The Prince intends to choose a day to marry the Lady, and once the situation is stable, he will immediately bring the Lady back to the palace. Seeing the Princess Xing and the other two Empress s, he will officially bestow upon the Empress his rank, and congratulate the Empress on becoming rich and prosperous, and reap endless benefits from now on. "
Hua Rong stared blankly, she could not react in a moment, and she did not know what to say, as if she did not understand what Xu Caizhi meant.
"This is a gift from the prince, please accept it …"
Xu Caizhi gave her a piece of jade. Because he was in the army camp, his conditions were simple, so he gave her the jade he brought with him as a gift. Hua Rong had seen this jade pendant before, and as the possession of the Ninth Prince, he immediately understood that this was not a joke, but really what the Ninth Prince meant.
She did not receive the jade pendant, nor did she kneel down and express her gratitude. Surprised, Xu Caizhi passed it over again.
Hua Rong retreated two steps, but still did not accept. This Xu Caizhi came to be the matchmaker, wanting the Ninth Prince to take over his house and become the concubinage. He was afraid and afraid at the same time. He himself had not come to Xiangzhou Base Camp to marry anyone. Furthermore, even though she came from an Elementary Scholar's family, his parents had taught her that he was better off as a concubine than a rich concubine. Even if he were a noble prince, he would absolutely not marry his.
She was terrified, quickly prostrating himself, and spoke incoherently: "Thank you, Ninth Prince, for your love, but my humble body is truly insufficient to match up with Your Highness …"
In order to save the orphan girl, as well as the prince saving her from the pirates, Xu Caizhi was well aware of his past. According to the rules, she had to be selected from the most wealthy girls in the kingdom. Because the conditions of the army camp was very difficult, as well as because of the love of the king, she was ordered to serve as the princess' concubine. She hadn't thought that she would be so lucky as to refuse this flight of hers.
Xu Caizhi only thought of her as a girl who was shy and laughed: "Miss, a man should marry his daughter. A dragon and phoenix among princes should follow him. Furthermore, the Ninth Prince needs someone to take care of her. This lady understands his intentions the best, and considered him as the most suitable candidate. "
Hua Rong said with a stern expression: "If you want me to be your bodyguard and protect Your Highness, I won't frown even if I have to go through thick and thin. But to marry Your Highness is something that I absolutely don't dare do.
Seeing that she had firmly rejected him, Xu Caizhi was a little annoyed. He thought to himself, how could she put on airs like this, that she was unmarried and came from the Humble Class? Moreover, this was a military camp. If it weren't for the Ninth Prince's love, could it be that he really wanted her to join the army?
"Miss, please reconsider. Not only has the prince saved your life, he also appreciates your talent. It can be said that you're very harmonious …"
This was already being both soft and hard, but Hua Rong still did not loosen her mouth, "Thank you for your love, your highness, I definitely do not dare to reach you."
Ninth Prince was just outside the window. He originally wanted to come and take a look at Hua Rong, but hearing how determined she was to reject the marriage, he felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his head.
Inside the house, Hua Rong and Xu Caizhi were still replying to each other, but he could not listen to any more of it.
