Gan Yuxuan suddenly stretched out his arm and pulled Helian Manqiu into his embrace. A wisp of a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Helian Manqiu with a slightly mocking expression.

"You are injured, so it is inconvenient for you to move. But do you want this grandpa to personally bathe you?"

Her delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and Helian Manqiu gave Gan Yuxuan a flirtatious look. Her heart was beating fast. It wasn't because she had a big face, nor was it because she didn't know how to be shy. As a person of the 21st century, she still hadn't experienced being close to a man.

This was the first time that she was so intimate with a man. Helian Manqiu's heart was filled with anxiety.

Forcefully suppressing his unease, his lips slightly pursed into a smile, as he waited to see what expression Gan Zhixuan would have.

"My lord, this general does not dare to work for my lord. Please, my lord, go on a patrol."

No matter how leatherless she was, it was impossible for her to have Gan Yuxuan wait on her while she bathed, allowing him to see her naked body.

"Oh, I didn't see anything just now, but you saw me so clearly. There's almost no place on my body that you can't touch. So this is how you owe me."

Helian Manqiu silently supported her forehead. She had seen many men and had also seen many men with a black stomach. There was not a single one who could catch up to this man.

"Fine, I'll let you off today. I'll go out and see Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da. I want to know, how do you want to apologize to me?"

"Then let's keep it for now. My Lord, please forgive them."

She could only helplessly say that this person had grabbed her pigtails and refused to let go. He only knew that he was using the military region's generals to threaten her. To her dismay, she had to be threatened by this thick-skinned man.

Gan Yuxuan released his arm, glanced at Helian Manqiu darkly, then turned around and walked out.

Letting out a long sigh of relief, Helian Manqiu took off her clothes and entered the wooden basin to bathe. Not daring to touch the water because of her injuries, she placed one of her legs on the edge of the wooden basin. He finally had time to bathe in the chaos of the past few days.

She did not dare to stay any longer. She washed off the sweat and blood on her body, bandaged her wound, picked up the clothes that the Blue Luan had brought, and put them on.

The clothes were obviously a bit too big for her. A piece of clothes could be used as a dress for her, so she had no choice but to temporarily deal with it. The original clothes were all torn to shreds and full of blood stains.

Fifteen years old. Today was the day she would be fifteen, until she turned fifteen.

Ye Zichen smiled wryly. Fifteen years old was extremely important to the girls of this era.

The coming of age ceremony was a coming-of-age ceremony for the young ladies of the Great Hengdynasty in the Central Plains. It was commonly known as the 'above' and 'above'.

For many years, women had been required to undergo the rite of passage when they reached adulthood, held at the age of fifteen. When a woman reaches the age of fifteen, she must perform the Growing Ceremony. She coiled her hair braid around her head and stuck it in a hairpin to show that she was no longer a girl or a child.

The coming of age ceremony was a coming-of-age ceremony for the girls of the Great Hengkong Empire. Just like the coronation ceremony for the men, it was also a ceremony for the adults. It was similar to the coronation ceremony for the girls.

His mother was the host for the ceremony. Three days before the Jubilee Ceremony, when the previous day's guests arrived, the guest selected the most virtuous and courteous of the married women to serve as the guests. "

Growing old is a hairpin, and the way you do it is very beautiful. It's a coming-of-age ceremony specially designed for girls, with long hair and a hairpin. The hairpin is carefully combed into a beautiful bun.

The father of the adult, the adult, and the father of the adult. The father of the adult, the one who performed the ceremony, and the one who presided over the ceremony. It is better for the principal guest to choose a female teacher who is a combination of virtue and talent. One of the admirers, chosen by the guest of honor, is a woman. One of them was the master's assistant.

Arrange the site, place the mats, and help the guests to wash. As for the three deacons, they were the ones who would assist the honored guests, and it was also appropriate for them to be female. Three trays of hair, hairpins, and hairpins were placed on the south end of the site from west to east.

Three trays were arranged on top of them, and a deacon was guarding them. The musician played the music alone, and the crowd was divided.

For the first three days, he had to stay away from guests for the rest of the day. As a guest of honor, select a married woman's virtuous and courteous person. Write your resignation on a piece of paper and send someone to deliver it three days before the ceremony.

The coming of age ceremony was the most important ceremony for a girl in the imperial court. It was also the most important ceremony for a lady of nobility. For girls from ordinary families, even if they were fifteen years old, they would still have to invite relatives to attend. No matter how small or simple it was, it could not be wasted.

From her memories, Helian Manqiu found some memories regarding the wedding ceremony. The original Helian Manqiu was almost fifteen years old, but for this young girl, it was obviously very important. She had been looking forward to it, but she hadn't expected it.

With a bitter smile, he put on the loose clothes and wrapped them around his chest so that no one could see her identity.

She lay down on the bed and began to sweat profusely from her body. At this moment, she was actually full of energy. He touched his forehead and the fever left him. His mind also cleared up. Pulling the fox fur coat over his body, he felt a slight chill even in the summer night outside the barrier.

"Qing Yu, have you stopped yet?"

Gan Zhixuan's voice came from outside the tent. It was low, melodious, and slightly cold.

"Master, please come in."

After replying, she slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the tent. Someone lifted the curtain of the tent, and Gan Zhixuan walked in with large strides. The people behind him quickly tidied up the interior of the tent.

Gan Yuxuan held something in his hand as he walked over to the bed and looked down at her.

"Master, it's time to rest. Please rest."

Knowing that she had almost not slept for two days and two nights, Helian Manqiu smiled. She did not know why this man was so anxious.

She wouldn't think too much of herself, thinking how good Gan Yixuan was to her.

Gan Yuxuan placed two sets of clothes beside the bed. "These are the two clothes that I had the Blue Luan make for you. Wear first."

"Thank you, my lord."

Helian Manqiu lifted her hand to take a look at her clothes. She placed them beside the pillow and shrunk her body inside, giving up more than half of the felt space for Gan Yuxuan.

Sitting on the bed was a temporary bed made of several layers of felt, placed on the floor. Gan Yuxuan stretched out his hand to untie his clothes and prepared to undress.

Helian Manqiu sat up slightly. Her hands were wrapped behind her back as she smiled at him. "How can I work for the Lord? Let me wait upon the Lord to put on his loose clothes."

Her fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, reached into his clothes.

"Take a rest. This grandpa doesn't need you to be so attentive right now."

Gan Yuxuan pushed away Helian Manqiu's hand and gently pulled her hair up to his head. Then, he stuck in a white jade hairpin made out of mutton fat. Helian Manqiu's heart couldn't help but move. She watched as Gan Jianxuan took off his clothes and threw them to the side. Then, he took off his boots and laid beside her, closed his eyes.

"Thank you, Lord, for remembering what day it is."

Her delicate body neared Gan Jianxuan, and she really wanted to reach out and embrace his waist. She turned her head to look at his cold and calm face, and her gaze stayed on his face for a long time.

Still too much alike.

Perhaps, she had never taken a good look at that person's face. It wasn't that she didn't want to, it was that she didn't have the chance to see it clearly. In his memory, there was only a blurry face. It was the first time he saw Gan Zhixuan's face, and only then did he feel such clarity and proximity to him.

It looked very similar, but she wasn't sure. It had to be that person's face, and she couldn't be sure that Gan Yuxuan was that person.

Only those eyes that were like cold stars on a cold winter night were so similar. They were similarly sharp and ruthless, as deep and mysterious as this person's eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Gan Yuxuan asked without opening his eyes. He could feel Helian Manqiu looking at him.

"Master is so beautiful."

He snuggled into Gan Jianxuan's bosom and unrestrainedly wrapped his arms around Gan Jianxuan's waist. "My Lord, I'm cold."

Gan Yuxuan stretched out his arms, embraced Helian Manqiu's slender waist, and covered her with the fox fur coat. "Go to sleep. Even though I can't really give you a salute during your prime, I can still replace it with a gift from your brother. "

Helian Manqiu was silent for a moment before she replied, "My Lord, you've troubled me. I presume my brother is unwilling."

"Since he has replaced you in your place, it is unavoidable. Helian Shan's only daughter, however, cannot fail to give him her age gift. Just leave it at that."

"It all depends on Master's arrangements."

Closing her eyes, she said lightly. She understood what he meant. Helian Manqiu was the only daughter of Helian Shan, the daughter of a military general.

Gan Yuxuan had taken over the military state, so no one would say anything because of this. They would definitely do their best to arrange things with dignity, so that no one would be able to say anything.

"Since you have come to this age of thirty, it is time to discuss marriage and fix it."

These words made Helian Manqiu want to vomit blood. She leaned her head against Gan Xianxuan's shoulder and knitted her eyebrows, "Marriage? "Heavens, is this how it should be?"

"Helian Shan died in battle. How could you just give him up? Even if Master didn't bring up the marriage, someone would still bring it up. However, if you choose as soon as possible, you would have more options. If there is any meaning in waiting for you up there, then you will have no choice. "

"The lord up there is saying that the old man will interfere?"

"How could it not be? When you go back, the imperial edict will definitely come. A military state guard general's position is too low."

"What would the old guy seal on me?"

"You want to know?"

"This position is pretty good right now. I just want to stay by my lord's side. My lord probably won't let me leave."

"Once the imperial edict is given, who would dare to disobey?"

He didn't seem to put it too much into his heart, but Helian Manqiu knew that he cared about this matter. She suddenly thought of He Zhe's words. If Gan Yuxuan hadn't known that she was a woman and held her weakness, the military region's generals' life in his hands, would he have been afraid of suspecting her?

"This humble general is my lord's man. My lord, my lord, my lord remembers that my lord has never married before. How could it be possible for my sister to be betrothed to my lord?"
