He knew that with Yue Pengju's reckless personality, as long as he asked, he would immediately admit it. At that time, he would not be able to handle it. He inadvertently looked at Hua Rong again, but saw that she was still expressionless.
Although Hua Rong stood at the side and tried her best to remain calm, her heart was thumping wildly, and her breathing seemed to have stopped. In the days of war with Yue Pengju, even though it was soul-stirring, they had lived a happy life. However, when they returned to the Ying Tian Palace, although it was only temporary, they were on tenterhooks, not knowing how to face the Ninth Prince, Wan Wan, and whether or not Yue Pengju's marriage would work. Now that he had said it out loud, she was even more afraid. It was unknown if the Ninth Prince was willing or not.
Ninth Prince could not hold it in and asked again: "Hua Rong, eldest sister is my mother, what do you say?"
Hua Rong had no way of dodging and could only speak loudly: "I completely respect Pengju's opinion! Since he doesn't want to, Hua Rong has the guts to ask the Duke to let him off the hook and allow him to end the engagement. "
Before everyone had returned to the army, they had heard the story of Hua Rong's situation in the army described magically and brilliantly by the passersby, saying that she had lifted up the Banner high into the air, and shot and injured Zong Wang, battling Jin Wushu bloody. Everyone had thought that the woman fighting on the battlefield was not a tigress, but at the very least, was strong and tall. Now that she had personally witnessed it, she was standing at the very back of the group. Her figure was beautiful like jade, and when she opened her mouth, it was as if a new bird had come out of the valley. She was firm and crisp, and although her voice was not loud, everyone could hear her clearly.
The crowd didn't know that the two of them were not related to each other by blood, so they all thought to themselves, "This older sister has never underestimated her younger brother. How could he openly allow his younger brother to break the engagement and ruin his great future?"
The Ninth Prince did not expect her to support Yue Pengju in reneging on the marriage so blatantly and clearly. This time, he finally had a plan in his heart, and was even more unhappy. He did not continue the conversation and only said: "Yue Pengju, your benefactor, Old General Zong Ze, was there a need to ask him about this matter."
Yue Pengju saw that he was trying to shirk from his responsibilities, and could no longer be bothered with it, saying loudly, "end only wishes for this reward! Please grant me your wish, Your Highness! end also knows that he has acted unscrupulously, and only hopes to bravely kill the enemy in the future and ask for forgiveness from the Prince and Teacher Zong. "
His tone was firm and his attitude firm. Ninth Prince no longer had anything else to say and under everyone's gaze, he promised Hua Rong that he would break the engagement with "eldest sister as mother" first and had no choice but to say: "Alright, since that's the case, this king will officially cancel your marriage with Wan Wan. However, as a punishment, you will not be rewarded in the slightest, even if you've made three more great meritorious deeds. "
Hearing that, everyone was surprised, the actions of the Ninth Prince, had obstructed Yue Pengju from getting rich, who would dare guarantee that they would not be able to accomplish anything great three times in their lives? All of them were confused, why did Yue Pengju want to break his engagement with the Princess like crazy to ruin his own future?
Yue Pengju was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness for your kindness."
Yue Pengju bowed again before retreating to the side. He quietly looked at Hua Rong, but saw the happiness in her eyes, the two of them understood each other, and were extremely happy.
Ninth Prince also looked at Hua Rong unintentionally, but when he saw the happiness in her eyes flash past, he felt upset and coughed lightly: "Alright, everybody, how is the military situation now?"
Everyone discussed about the military details again, and Yue Pengju gave his advice on the establishment of the Da Song. Ninth Prince looked, placed it to the side, and explained to them that they would discuss it again the next day.
Hua Rong returned to the room prepared for the female disciples. Just as she was about to rest, she reported to the Ninth Prince.
She quickly opened the door and saw Ninth Prince walking in with Xu Caizhi, all smiles.
Because she was grateful that the Ninth Prince had allowed Yue Pengju to reject the marriage, her attitude became abnormally respectful: "Your Highness, is there something you need?"
"Rong Er, I just saw the piece of advice that Peng Ju handed to me, and I feel that it's very meaningful."
"Many thanks to the prince for his consideration."
"The proposal to form the Da Song's cavalry on a large scale is very feasible. Ever since the founding of the Da Song, in order to take back the sixteen prefectures of Yan Yun from the Liaoning, every year, my Da Song would take out a sum of money from the taxes and deposit it into the 'pile sealing bank' in order to one day recruit warriors to lead troops to the north. The Golden Army invaded and plundered all 70 odd pile sealing bank s. However, there was a large hidden area that was hard to find. "When the situation slows down, I'll send someone to retrieve it …"
Hua Rong saw that he was impressed by the suggestion of Peng Quan, and said happily: "Then at present, do you have any funds to recruit warriors?"
"The rich and powerful families from all over have sent over a lot of gold and silver, which can still be maintained for a period of time."
"It can't be better."
"Rong Er, you stay and help me."
"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, what can I do?"
"To become a cavalry teaching head. For the past few days when you and your brother have fought together, I believe you have more experience. "
This coincided with Peng Gao's point of view.
"Rong Er, I received a secret report that Zong Han's army was heading towards Ying Tian. Currently, among the generals of the Song Jun, only Du Chong's team was still able to fight him.
Hua Rong was very surprised. Although Du Chong had led thirty thousand troops, other than Yue Pengju's few thousand men, practically all of them had fled without fighting. Her tone could not hide his disappointment. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Rong Er, Du Chong is shrewd and farsighted, Pengju is a rare good general, his growth is very fast, I am not worried about him at all. You should stay in the Ying Tian Palace, my Da Song's cavalry training will depend on you. "
Hua Rong suddenly realized that she had already been "trapped" — she could no longer go up on the battlefield together with Penga.
However, she was unable to find any flaws and was utterly unable to refute him.
Ninth Prince let out a long breath and stood up: "Rong Er, I'm going to rest, you should rest early too."
"Thank you, Prince."
He took a few steps before turning his head again, "Rong Er, the reason why I took Miss Wu as my concubine that time was only because of a political need …"
She was stunned for a moment before smiling, "Your highness should naturally be like this."
Seeing that she did not have any sorrowful intentions, the Ninth Prince gave a long sigh and slowly walked out.
Looking at the time, it was already late. Yue Pengju was about to leave in four hours,
She opened the door and went out to find him. Just as he walked out of the door, he saw Yue Pengju rushing over with a head full of sweat: "Big sister, I was just about to come find you, I was just about to leave in the middle of the night …"
After the two entered the room and closed the door, Hua Rong then asked: "When are you coming back?"
"Wait until this gold soldier is repelled, then we will return. Elder sister, you're not coming with me? "
"The Prince has ordered me to help train the recruits."
Yue Pengju was very surprised, and felt that this arrangement was reasonable on the surface, but his heart was still uneasy. He said in a low voice: "Big Sister, you have to be more careful … I'm worried about the Ninth Prince … "
"Ninth Prince just admitted a new wife, and I clearly rejected him before. If he brings up this matter again, I will also reject him. "
In his heart, Yue Pengju was still very worried, he only said, "Elder sister, no matter what happened, you have to first take care of it, and don't come out, wait for me to come back and deal with it …"
"The Ninth Prince is kind and kind, I don't think it would force others."
"Elder sister, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed. When we get back from this victory, I'll marry you, okay? "
Hua Rong's face flushed red. Both of them had the same thoughts, knowing that even though Peng Ju had the heart of a virgin, she was thoughtful and worried that she would cause trouble, so they had already arranged a marriage. She nodded and said gently, "Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll listen to you."
He was so overjoyed that he could not help lowering his head and kissing her on the cheek. Once his lips touched her smooth cheek, he could not help but lower them and very quickly press them against her soft lips.
Like a bee tasting pollen, that wonderful taste flowed through her young body for the first time, and she desperately wanted more. He hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply as if she were his own teacher. After a while, he let go of her and gently said, "Elder sister, you have to take care of yourself when I'm not around. After this battle, I will come back to pick you up and get married right away. Only when we get married can we truly be together and never be separated. "
Hua Rong nestled in his embrace. Somehow, she liked getting closer to him, liked being hugged by him, liked his caresses, liked his kisses … Everything about him was so good. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. She breathed out like an orchid as she said in a soft voice, "Pengju, you have to take care of yourself outside, you can't get hurt a little bit …"
He gently replied, "Yes, I will. I definitely will." I will take care of my health and marry my sister as soon as possible. "
Her face was flushed red, she was filled with anticipation. Pengju had already officially quit the marriage, and she would soon become a "Madame Yue". Then he would no longer have to fear anyone, no matter what kind of King Qin they were, he no longer had to be afraid of them.
To follow him on the battlefield, to follow him to the ends of the earth, wasn't this a woman's greatest happiness?
The next morning, Hua Rong woke up to practice for a while and came out to eat breakfast. On the side of the garden, Wu Jinnu was accompanying a woman with a big belly walking around.
Due to the haste of the war, the Ninth Prince's families lived in the gardens. It was only separated by a female wall, and because Hua Rong was also a woman, she lived in a separate room.
Wu Jinnu also saw her, so when Hua Rong saw the two of them approaching, she could not avoid them and bowed to them.
Wu Jinnu normally did not show himself, and only served the Ninth Prince meticulously. This was the first time Hua Rong met her face to face in broad daylight. She was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed in a red, peony muslin dress. Her appearance was above average, and her face and eyes looked much more mature than her actual age.
The lady that Wu Jinnu accompanied was exceptionally beautiful. Compared to Wu Jinnu, she was called Pan Yingying, and was the original family member of the Ninth Prince in the capital. Before the fall of the open seal, when she went home to visit her family, she heard the news and did not go back. She was sent to meet up with the Ninth Prince recently. She had served the Ninth Prince far before Wu Jinnu. From the looks of it, she was already eight to nine months pregnant.
Although her status was low and she only had the basic title of "Madam" in the Ninth Prince's Manor before, Wu Jinnu knew that all of the children of the Ninth Prince had already fallen into the hands of the Golden Man and none of them were spared. Therefore, she was very polite to Pan Yingying and waited on him wholeheartedly. Pan Yingying was already the leader of the imperial concubines.
But at this moment, no one had received any rewards and they were all addressed as "Madam".
When Hua Rong found out about Pan Yingying's identity, she was very surprised, but also pleasantly surprised for the Ninth Prince. At such a critical juncture, having a concubine about to give birth to his son was a joyous event for him.
Wu Jinnu said in an exceptionally passionate manner: "Hua Rong, I have already heard about the deeds of you siblings killing off Golden Army, you truly are a heroic hero."
Pan Yingying looked at her for a bit. Seeing her elegant and refined look, it was hard to imagine how powerful she was. She used to have a low position in the Duke Palaces, but now that her mother asked her to rise to the top, she became even more arrogant and proud. She was not as smart and reserved as Wu Jinnu and had an overbearing attitude.
"Rumor has it that it's an exaggeration. You two ladies need not praise it too highly."
Pan Yingying secretly thought, "As expected." Seeing her beautiful appearance, she found her quite unpleasant to look at.
Hua Rong was not willing to continue chatting with the two anymore, so she found an excuse and took her leave.
