Duan Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded at Old General Wu.
"Old General Wu stood up, leaning on his walking stick, and couldn't help but sigh. Yun Fei, as a court official, naturally should stand up for the court and for the people. Only in this way could it be considered as having a clear conscience. Wu Shan is still young, if he doesn't understand this principle, you should naturally urge him on from time to time. We must not let him lose his sense of propriety in front of the greater good. "
As Old General Wu spoke, Duan Yunfei, who was standing behind him, slightly bent down and respectfully bowed. Thank you for your teachings. Your granddaughter has remembered it. "
Duan Yunfei stretched out her hand to touch the sword that Old General Wu had gifted her. She couldn't help but feel emotional in her heart, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. The words that Old General Wu had warned her that day still echoed in her mind, and she didn't dare to forget it even for a moment.
As Duan Yunfei was lost in thought, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside, "General Wu is back! General Wu is back!"
After hearing this news, Duan Yunfei came back to reality and quickly called for someone to come over and ask: "What happened just now? Where is General Wu now? "
Seeing Duan Yunfei's anxious face, Xiao Yang hurriedly said to her, "Princess, I just received news that General Wu has already entered the city and is currently below the city walls receiving worship from the citizens. Many people within the palace, upon hearing this news, all hurried over to welcome General Wu. "
Xiao Yang excitedly chatted with Duan Yunfei, and for a moment, Duan Yunfei was actually a little nervous. It had been a long time since sshe had seen Wu Shan, and he didn't know what she had experienced in the past few months in the southwest.
Just as Duan Yunfei was hesitating on what to do, she raised her head and saw Mu Chuyang swaggering into the entrance of the Red Luan Courtyard.
Mu Chuyang glanced at Duan Yunfei, and actually couldn't resist laughing out loud. He raised his head to size up Duan Yunfei, then shook his head and said: "Today is the day General Wu Shan returns to the capital, and everyone in the capital anxiously went to pay their respects to General Wu, to actually create such an empty scene in the capital. I thought that since the Thirteenth Princess is always concerned about General Wu, if he knew about this, he would definitely go and visit General Wu. I never thought that Thirteenth Princess was still hesitating in the palace. "
As Mu Chuyang spoke, he sized Duan Yunfei up from head to toe. After pausing for a while, he continued to speak to Duan Yunfei, "Looks like the deep affection between brother and sister today is also fake."
Duan Yunfei had long expected him to speak in such a manner, and was angry in his heart. Instead, she turned to look at Mu Chuyang, and laughed: "Young Prince Mu and Cousin Wu Shan have always had a good relationship, and now that cousin Wu Shan has returned to the imperial court, aren't you blabbering nonsense with me here in Red Luan Courtyard? Seems like Young Prince Mu is not truly sincere towards cousin Wu Shan."
"You …" Mu Chuyang stretched out his hand and pointed at Duan Yunfei.
However, before he could finish his words, Duan Yunfei interrupted him, looked at him and continued: "Since that's the case, when I see cousin Wu Shan later, I must properly remind him to be careful in making friends, and not be friends with someone who doesn't seem to be on the same side as him."
Without waiting for Mu Chuyang to speak, Duan Yunfei walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing that he had no other choice, Mu Chuyang hurried to catch up and followed Duan Yunfei out of the palace gate.
Just as Duan Yunfei walked to the palace gate, she raised her head and met the eyes of Wu Shan, who was about to enter the palace.
Wu Shan was startled for a moment, but after that, he quickly walked towards Duan Yunfei and bowed respectfully towards him, then said to Duan Yunfei with a face full of smiles: "Greetings elder sister. We have parted for a few months, and today we are extremely happy, I wonder how elder sister has been?"
"It's dark." Duan Yunfei stood in front of Wu Shan, seriously sizing him up, and continued to speak while facing him. If Grandpa or that old man saw it, his heart would definitely ache. "
Wu Shan looked valiant and formidable in his military uniform, without explaining anything, he only smiled at Duan Yunfei, then lowered his head to size himself up before speaking: "Going out on a march, your days will definitely not be as comfortable as your home. It was only natural to be a bit thinner. Grandfather will definitely understand. "
Wu Shan said while looking up and smiling at Duan Yunfei, just like the young master before.
Duan Yunfei's eyes flickered, and looked at Wu Shan unblinkingly. In the end, she couldn't resist extending her hand and patting his shoulder. She smiled and said, "Welcome back."
Wu Shan did not speak, and only nodded heavily. The expression in his eyes became even deeper and steadier. As Duan Yunfei looked at his eyes, she couldn't help but think in her heart: The current Wu Shan is no longer that ignorant child from back then. He had really grown up and become a general.
As Duan Yunfei and Wu Shan were talking, Mu Chuyang who was standing at the side finally could not hold it in and coughed twice.
Wu Shan just realised that the person beside Duan Yunfei was Young Prince Mu Mu Chuyang.
"Congratulations General Wu Shan for his triumphant return. It has been tough on you for the past four months." Mu Chuyang cupped his hands towards Wu Shan, and said with a dignified tone.
Only then did Wu Shan turn his head back, and he smiled as he hurriedly bowed to Mu Chuyang, and intentionally teased Mu Chuyang: "So it's Young Prince Mu who has come. Young Prince Mu has personally come to greet me at the city gate. I thank Young Prince Mu. "
Hearing Wu Shan's words, Mu Chuyang felt that something was off, and couldn't help but frown.
Without waiting for Mu Chuyang to react, Duan Yunfei hurriedly said to Wu Shan and Mu Chuyang: "Alright, it's getting late, royal father is still waiting for us inside the palace, we should hurry and enter."
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Mu Chuyang and Wu Shan both nodded, and then walked towards the palace gate.
At this time, Yuwen Di was sitting on the roof of the hall, waiting for him to present himself.
"Quickly go and see where Wu Shan has gone to, why have you not entered the palace yet?" Yuwen Di waited for a long time, but he still could not see Wu Shan. He could not help but feel anxious, and waved towards Eunuch Ming, sending him off to quickly take a look.
"Your Majesty, don't be in such a hurry. Perhaps we met with the celebration of the commoners at the entrance of the palace, which was why we were delayed. This servant will go down to take a look. " Eunuch Ming said as he prepared to leave. However, before he even reached the entrance, Wu Shan's voice came from outside the palace.
