The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife - Chapter 158

She stood outside the magnificent capital city gate, as if from a lifetime, and also had the sadness of being close to the nostalgia.

She led the horse, took a deep breath, and walked slowly to the capital. At the city gate, she showed her waist badge as a general of the Eastern Region Barracks. The guards guarding the city gave her a military salute and then allowed her to enter the city.

After not returning for several years, she felt that the capital was more prosperous than in previous years.

I don’t know what happened to Xiaoyu.

And whether, still remember her.

Four years after she left, Xiaoyu should be fifteen years old now. She must have come out with outstanding demeanor, and can have the demeanor of a female emperor and queen.

Fang Yuzhu let out a long sigh, regretting that she had missed the four Chinese New Year festivals. She could have had the opportunity to meet Xiaoyu, but she had lost it herself.

Although she missed it, she does not regret it. At least, these four years are meaningful to her. She can serve the queen and contribute to the peace of the people of the Eastern Region. Her life is not in vain. .

She paced back to the woman’s house, and the steward recognized her at a glance. The girl standing in front of the door was much more mature than the child many years ago. , is still familiar.

“Yuzhu!”

The steward sighed, and then led Fang Yuzhu back to the house.

“When you come back this time, I think you need to make time to go to the palace to meet your majesty.”

Fang Yuzhu followed behind the steward, and when she heard the steward speak, she blinked, then lowered her eyes and said:

“I’ll go after the exam is over and the rankings are released.”

She is no longer a servant girl in the house, but a young general with an official position. She no longer has to call herself a slave and a maid, and she has become justifiable when she enters the palace.

But she knew in her heart that her work had not been done, and that she had not met the requirements that Lin Aoxue and Yunyan had set for her at the beginning, so she had no face to see Lin Aoxue.

The steward looked back at her and said nothing, only:

“Then you arrange it yourself. The house you lived in a few days ago is still there, including some things you used before. If you don’t need it, you can deal with it yourself.”

Fang Yuzhu respectfully thanked the steward, but did not give orders because of his current status.

She always remembered the kindness given to her by the people in the woman’s house. Without their kindness, she couldn’t imagine what her childhood years would have been like.

“Is Lady Fu not at the mansion?”

When Fang Yuzhu came back, the steward didn’t take her to see the nurse, she was curious and asked this question.

“Well, Mrs. Fu has come to Lijing with the grassland again. I don’t know when I will be back this time.”

Fang Yuzhu had a smile in his eyes when he heard the words, and the maid and the queen of the grassland were still the same.

The year when she first came to the woman’s mansion, the Queen of the Prairie asked the Empress to marry her, but was rejected by the woman, who set a two-year period. Then the Queen of the Prairie really abdicated after two years and moved her family to the north. In the realm, with the two goddess and the female Fu, they traveled around.

The queen gave her another position, and asked her to record all the sights worth visiting after returning from the trip every year, and compile it into a book, avoiding the impeachment of the ministers in Beijing.

Every year, the female Fu stays in Beijing for only three or two months. At that time, the Queen of the Prairie will come to the house to eat and drink, and then she will not know where to go.

Therefore, when Fang Yuzhu came, she was not surprised to hear that the lady was not at the mansion.

With less than a month left until the scientific examination, Fang Yuzhu stayed in the Fufu’s house this month, studying hard, and if he didn’t understand, he wrote it down with a pen, and then went to the bookstore to ask Mr.

When the master knew that Fang Yuzhu had returned from the garrison, he had also obtained a military service, and was immediately amazed, so he taught him what he had learned.

Fang Yuzhu is serious and rigorous, and she studies very hard. The housekeeper helps her manage and has signed up for Fang Yuzhu.

Another month later, Fang Yuzhu participated in the literary test. The subjects of the literary test ranged from the way of governing the country to the way of governing the army. Fang Yuzhu had ravines in his chest, and his literary thoughts were flowing. Leave the exam paper early.

After the literary test is over, there is a martial arts test. There are not as many people participating in the martial arts test as the literary test. Beijing has set up a martial arts arena with special scoring standards. bit admission.

Fang Yuzhu has practiced martial arts for six years and has been in the army for four years. Even though she is still young, she has rich combat experience and mature combat skills. No one on stage can defeat her.

Although the martial arts test was held after the literary test, the rankings were released on the same day, and Fang Yuzhu came out on top.

She applied for the martial arts exam as a woman and became the champion of martial arts, causing an uproar.

Ning Guo allowed a woman to be an official, and it was not uncommon for women to take the literary exam, but very few took part in the martial arts.

Fang Yuzhu participated in the martial arts competition as a woman at the age of 18 and won the leader. This is the first time since the founding of Ning Kingdom. In addition, Fang Yuzhu has military exploits in the Eastern Region and has been promoted to the position of general. There are rumors among the people that maybe Fang Yuzhu can become the second female general.

This incident caused a lot of uproar in the capital, and after a few days, when the literary exam was released, the whole capital was even more excited.

But seeing the first place on the list, three words were written: Fang Yuzhu.

Fang Yuzhu was only eighteen years old, and he was both a civil and military leader, and he was famous all over the world.

The champion of civil and military affairs is about to enter the capital. Although Fang Yuzhu is not entering the palace for the first time, this time, she is still nervous. no.

She hadn’t seen the Empress for four years. She used to be young and ignorant and didn’t pay attention to many things. Now that she has returned to the capital, she has won the Shuangkui again, and she can enter the palace to see her beautifully, but she feels as if she is skeptical. Like a little deer, thumping.

The closer she got to the gate of the palace, the louder Fang Yuzhu’s heartbeat became, and it vibrated in her ears, buzzing non-stop.

She has always been thinking, if there was no disaster outside Yujiang City ten years ago, and Lin Aoxue hadn’t rescued her and Xiaoyu from the bullying little beggar, what would she be like today?

Not only her, but also Xiaoyu.

The favor they received was unreturnable, and it was Lin Aoxue and Yunyan who gave them a chance to live again.

Stepping into the palace, there was no Ai Ai, fear and anxiety as she first came, and her expectations increased rather than reduced. If she saw the Empress again, what would the Empress say to her, and would she be satisfied with what she had accomplished today.

The road to Xuande Hall is very long. Fang Yuzhu’s steps become more brisk as she walks forward. She gradually found her goal. After thinking for a long time for ten years, she has been thinking about whether Lin Aoxue did this to her for the sake of it. Small words.

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan are well-intentioned, presumably to find a support for Xiaoyu. Fang Yuzhu can enter the court in the future, and she is similar to Xiaoyu. She is the person who can win Xiaoyu’s trust. She has talent and can help Xiaoyu. Sharing worries and solving problems, if Xiaoyu inherits the holy position in the future, Fang Yuzhu will be her siblings and become a capable minister on her way forward.

Fang Yuzhu felt that she had found an accurate position. She thought that this was what she wanted, and it was also the greatest favor Lin Aoxue and Yunyan could give her.

She thought to herself, thinking that she was a little greedy, but if possible, even if she was greedy, she would fight for it.

Because it can help with small words.

Finally, the Xuande Hall gradually became clear in front of Fang Yuzhu’s eyes. That magnificent hall was something Fang Yuzhu had never seen before.

Before Fang Yuzhu entered the palace, she only went to Yuyan Palace, and then left after one night. Furthermore, she went to the Imperial Study Room. She didn’t know anything about other places.

On the Xuande Hall, the ministers were divided on both sides, from the first-rank officials to the fifth-rank ministers, and the sixth-rank and lower minor officials, all stood on the square outside the hall.

Fang Yuzhu walked through the promenade in front of the hall and stepped up from the side of the stone steps in front of the hall. She was summoned by the Empress. She stepped into the Xuande Hall, bowed her head before the jade steps, and shouted loudly:

“My minister, Fang Yuzhu, meet Your Majesty!”

Behind her, there were four other people, who were the top two candidates in the Wen Kao and Wu Kao. They also knelt down with Fang Yuzhu and shouted long live to the Empress.

Lin Aoxue sat on the throne with a look of relief in his eyes. Looking at the person under the seat, he couldn’t help but recall the scene when he first met Fang Yuzhu ten years ago.

At that time, Fang Yuzhu and Xiao Yu were surrounded by three little beggars. They were bullied but could not fight back. In the end, Lin Aoxue rescued them and brought them back to the capital. Years, the little child who was like a bean at the time has grown up now.

Eighteen upright, splendid, and looks good-looking. After passing through the border, she is two points more heroic than ordinary girls. Between her eyebrows, her expression is calm, and she can be worthy of a big job.

Lin Aoxue smiled and said “flat body”.

Lin Aoxue then rewarded several famous people on the list one by one, and then said to Yuzhu:

“Yuzhu, after you go down to court, come to the imperial study.”

The ministers were in an uproar, Fang Yuzhu was also a little stunned, but she quickly restrained the surprise in her eyes, bowed her head, nodded and replied:

“Yes.”

After the court dispersed, Lin Aoxue took the first step, Fang Yuzhu went to the imperial study under the guidance of the palace servants after all the ministers had left the Xuande Hall.

This is not the first time she has walked the road to the imperial study, but there has never been a time like today that has made her very nervous.

She didn’t know what Lin Aoxue was going to say to herself, and there seemed to be a thunderous drum in her heart.

But she is not timid. After years of training in the army, she has gathered courage and will not back down no matter what the situation is.

The road from Xuande Hall to the Imperial Study Room was not long, Fang Yuzhu walked for about half an hour.

She stood outside the imperial study, clasped her fists and bowed, and asked the people in the hall:

“Your Majesty, my minister, please see Fang Yuzhu.”

“Come in.”

Lin Aoxue’s voice didn’t change much from four years ago. Fang Yuzhu felt a little at ease. Hearing Lin Aoxue’s words, she felt that her mood also calmed down and her nervousness dissipated. She took two steps forward and pushed open the door of the imperial study. go in.

Just as he was about to bow down, he heard Lin Aoxue say:

“No need to salute, there is a chair next to you, sit down and talk.”

Fang Yuzhu blinked, her doubts deepened, but she still followed her words and walked to a chair beside her and sat down with her back straight and her expression respectful.

“Tell me how you’ve been through the years.”

Lin Aoxue took the initiative to speak and asked about Fang Yuzhu’s experience at the border.

Fang Yuzhu had already thought about this question when she came here, so she didn’t stumble in answering it. She briefly described her experience in the Eastern Regions over the past few years, including several important battles. injury was not mentioned.

After she finished speaking, Lin Aoxue looked up at her and said with a smile:

“I heard that the fire burned your arm and left a scar.”

Fang Yuzhu’s face became solemn. She guessed that Lin Aoxue should have some knowledge of the situation at the border, but she did not expect her to know so much.

Fang Yuzhu subconsciously rubbed a hand on her injured arm. Indeed, as Lin Aoxue said, a scar the size of a palm was left on the place where she was burnt, and this scar became clearer and clearer as she got older. Not meant to fade away.

“Yes.”

In the end, she only answered this one word.

Lin Aoxue looked at her, the smile in her eyes deepened, and she asked again:

“Do you regret it?”

After these words fell, Fang Yuzhu immediately raised his head, the sad expression on his face disappeared without a trace, his eyes were firm, and he said bluntly:

“If you go back to your majesty, my minister, don’t regret it!”

No regrets, she said it sonorously and forcefully.

Lin Aoxue nodded in appreciation, and suddenly laughed. She put down the pen in her hand, then got up and walked in front of Fang Yuzhu. When Fang Yuzhu was sweating nervously, she suddenly said:

“Pick up your sleeves and show me the injury.”

Fang Yuzhu’s throat rolled, and she became more and more nervous, but Lin Aoxue’s face was soft, and the divine light in her eyes was extraordinarily gentle, which instantly dissolved the tension in her heart.

She remembered the care she had received since she was a child, and the insignificant nervousness disappeared all of a sudden.

Even though it was just a secret in her own heart, she had always regarded Lin Aoxue as a close elder. Since she was an elder, it didn’t matter if she looked at her injury.

Fang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled up his cuff to reveal the hideous scar on his left arm.

Lin Aoxue glanced at it, thinking about it, and then said:

“It’s just a small injury, nothing to do.”

After saying that, she thought to herself, when Fang Yuzhu was settled, she would ask Yan’er to make some ointments for the child to use.

Fang Yuzhu was a little stunned.

Lin Aoxue laughed, then pointed at his face and said to Yuzhu:

“Look at my face.”

Fang Yuzhu raised his eyes in response, but saw nothing.

“Are there any scars?”

“Your Majesty is unparalleled, where are the scars?”

Lin Aoxue laughed loudly, then reached out to rub Fang Yuzhu’s head, and said with a smile:

“No, I used to have scars like this on my face, and it’s much more powerful than yours. A few years ago, I entered the palace as a courtier for the first time, took off my mask, and scared the emperor of the previous dynasty. Jump.”

Fang Yuzhu was stunned. Although she didn’t speak, the look in her eyes showed two points of disbelief.

Moreover, she didn’t quite understand what Lin Aoxue meant to her.

Lin Aoxue shook her head and did not ask Fang Yuzhu to believe it. She paced back to her seat, picked up the pen again, wrote and drew on a book, and said at the same time:

“Okay, it’s okay, you go to Yuyan Palace to see Xiaoyu.”

Fang Yuzhu felt a little confused. Of course she was happy that she could see Xiao Yu as soon as she entered the palace, but she didn’t understand Lin Aoxue’s attitude towards her, and she wasn’t sure what Lin Aoxue’s closeness meant.

The holy meaning was hard to fathom, so Fang Yuzhu simply didn’t think about it. She got up and bowed to Lin Aoxue to leave, then left the imperial study and walked towards the Yuyan Palace.

The Yuyan Palace is still the same as before. The people in the palace clean it carefully every day, so the palace has always maintained a bright and beautiful appearance. Before Fang Yuzhu approached, he heard a silver bell-like laughter from the Yuyan Palace. .

Fang Yuzhu stepped into the Yuyan Palace, and saw a hydrangea rolling to her feet, and then a white-haired puppy rushed towards her, posing to capture the hydrangea under her feet.

“Little Bamboo!”

Fang Yuzhu frowned. She recognized the girl’s voice and heard the name of the girl, but a strange feeling rose in her heart.

This little bamboo… should be calling this dog.

Why is it the same as her name?

She raised her head again, and saw a beautiful girl in a palace costume running quickly towards this side, and then stopped ten paces away from Fang Yuzhu.

Ning Queyu saw Fang Yuzhu, she was a little stunned, she didn’t recognize Fang Yuzhu’s identity the first time, only subconsciously felt that this person was familiar and kind.

She slightly lifted the skirt of the palace dress and stared at Fang Yuzhu blankly, her lips and teeth moved, but she didn’t make a sound for a long time.

“My minister, Yuzhu, greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!”

It was Fang Yuzhu who was the first to return to her senses, trying her best to hide her inner nervousness, and then pretended to be calm and bowed down, suppressing her turbulent thoughts, and showing her normal appearance.

“Fang Yuzhu…”

Ning Que opened his mouth slightly and murmured again.

The puppy called Little Bamboo was holding a hydrangea, shaking its head and moving its tail to the feet of Ning Queyu, as if asking for credit, but Ning Queyu didn’t even bother to look at it, and took two steps towards Fang Yuzhu again. .

Ning Queyu didn’t let Fang Yuzhu get up, Fang Yuzhu kept hunched over until a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in her field of vision, she knew that Ning Queyu was standing in front of her at the moment.

“Are you really Fang Yuzhu?”

Ning Queyu put his hands behind his back, looked down at Fang Yuzhu, and asked another question.

Fang Yuzhu’s heart trembled, and he was inexplicably nervous. Fang Yuzhu, who was never afraid of facing dozens of gangsters alone, felt two palpitations at this moment.

She took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and replied respectfully:

“Yes, Wei Chen is Fang Yuzhu.”

“I heard that the Imperial Ranking was released today. I think you are the champion of the exam, Shuangkui?”

Ning Queyu still didn’t let Fang Yuzhu get up. She felt that her waist was about to freeze, but hearing this sentence, Fang Yuzhu felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Today’s Ning Queyu is different from previous years, very different. Same.

“Yes.”

She answered again.

Little Bamboo was making noise and jumping at Ning Queyu’s feet, Ning Queyu leaned over and hugged Little Bamboo up, and Little Bamboo’s tail flicked happily.

“For four years, is it hard work?”

For some reason, Ning Queyu didn’t want to ask Fang Yuzhu to get up, but she always had endless questions, each of which made Fang Yuzhu feel inexplicable. She was scolding her for not returning for a long time.

She was lost and in pain.

“your Highness……”

Fang Yuzhu murmured.

“Ben Gong is asking you something!”

Ning Queyu’s voice suddenly rose up, with a hint of anger in her tone, which made Fang Yuzhu tremble. Lips answered:

“To share your worries for Your Majesty, I don’t think it’s hard work.”

From the angle that Fang Yuzhu could not see, Ning Queyu had a bitter expression on her face, her eyes were already red, and tears filled her eyes, shaky.

She pursed her lips tightly, silver teeth clasped on her lips, biting her lower lip white.

She couldn’t recognize Fang Yuzhu, but she resented that Fang Yuzhu left without saying goodbye, and it took four full years since she left.
