Chapter 160 Female General (16)
Chapter 160 Female General (16)
Shi Yue wondered whether she could intimidate the surrounding vassal states if she worked harder and strengthened her military.
So that they dare not invade again and dare not have any rebellious thoughts.
If things are stable for a long time, perhaps there will be fewer women who are called princesses but are actually hostages and travel long distances away from home.
Or maybe the princesses who come here to marry into the royal family can relax a little.
There is no need to worry about what you will do or whether your life will be in danger if the two countries become enemies.
Only strength can bring peace, and only peace can reduce sacrifice and suffering.
So she thought.
But he didn't know that those in power in the capital had another plan.
Princess Yinghua's fate was determined the moment she took her first step into the Shang Dynasty.
But Shi Yue realized it too late.
In the long journey of life, the most difficult thing to understand is the human heart.
Among human hearts, the most despicable is the heart of men.
"In this case, I will trouble you, General Shi."
The princess bowed her head.
Shi Yue and Gao Ting led the way and the marriage team set off.
The border is remote and the road is long and bumpy.
With Shi Yueting's skills and physical strength, he could reach the destination in just ten days by riding at full speed.
But the princess's body was too precious to withstand the bumps.
So this time was stretched to one month.
"Why did His Majesty send you and me to escort the princess to the capital?"
They should have set off earlier. If it weren't for this incident, they would have finished their report and started their return journey.
Shi Yue glanced at the man riding horse next to her. She knew what he meant, but was too lazy to answer.
She didn't think that the emperor asked her to escort him just to make her care.
"The position of queen has been vacant until now. Princess Yinghua has entered the palace and will be the only one in charge of the harem. Although she is only a concubine, this status is not bad."
Gao Ting didn't care about her reaction and continued talking.
"It seems that His Majesty still values Dongyuan very much."
Dongyuan lacked other things, but not money. The princess brought so many things with her that it was really enviable.
It would not be a waste of talent to have these two generals personally escort them.
"We can live in peace for a few years."
If the two sides can maintain such friendly relations for a long time, they will not be surrounded by enemies and suffer from panic at the border.
Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return in ten years.
If one doesn't want to die on the battlefield, who wouldn't want to enjoy a peaceful and stable life?
He glanced at the woman standing next to him like a poplar and secretly grinned.
On the day when there is no war, having her company is enough.
What a pity, these were all his extravagant wishes.
It seemed as if he had never been in her eyes, and her beating heart had never been flustered for him for a moment.
It has been a year since that person left.
He did not seek to erase all traces of that man, but just wondered if he could open up a small piece of fertile land for him.
Plant the seeds of hope and wait for them to take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit.
"General," a maid ran up from behind the team.
"The princess asked me to come and ask you if I can play chess with her."
The maidservant nodded timidly, not daring to look directly into Shi Yue Duoduo's eyes.
In her heart, General Shi was truly remarkable and not someone they could offend at will.
Shi Yue didn't expect this kind of request. She thought that except her, no one else in this group could get into the princess's carriage.
Nodding, I was about to agree, "Okay..."
"Hey, now that you're gone, I'm bored all alone."
Gao Ting didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, but he wanted to fight for this. He grabbed her saddle and wouldn't let her go.
"Let go of me, General."
He raised the whip in his hand and poked his clenched hands.
Once, twice.
Hey, don't let go.
"I haven't played for a long time. Are you itching?"
If you don't listen to me nicely, you're asking for a beating.
"Are you going to beat me for her?"
He looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief, as if saying, "You are a fickle woman."
One after another, they always want to beat him up because of others. Isn't he easy to bully?
Shi Yue held his forehead with his hand. This kid started again.
From the time I knew him, he was a reckless person. I thought he would change for the better when he got older. But he became even more reckless.
"Hit you? Haha, that's too light."
She turned her horse's head, leaned forward, and whispered, "If you don't let me go, I will advise the emperor to arrange a marriage for our General Gao."
She smiled slyly, "Doesn't An Yue also have the intention of marrying? How about recommending you to go?"
Anyue Kingdom is the most unusual country in the world today.
This country respects women and has reversed yin and yang.
Women can be kings, women can be officials, and women can marry.
It's just that the country is too small and not very civilized, so it is not taken seriously by other countries and is just treated as anecdotes.
Therefore, it did not cause any huge waves.
Men from the Central Plains like Gao Ting are the most popular among the women there.
"absurd!"
Gao Ting reacted strongly, "I am a general. The border needs me. How can you ask me to make peace and marry a princess?"
He felt extremely ashamed when he spoke it out.
Shi Yue was surprised, "Didn't you say that there would be no wars to fight in the future and we would have to live in peace for a few years?"
"If we are lucky and the sea is peaceful and the river is calm, we generals will have no place to use our skills."
"It just so happens that I want you to play your part and contribute to the country."
Give him a brotherly pat on the shoulder and say, "Try hard, you might be able to achieve something great."
Gao Ting's face became darker and darker.
Shi Yue understood him very well, but just a few words made him so angry that he fell backwards.
There was no time to care about her behavior of going to play with the princess.
"Princess."
She stood outside the carriage and whispered to the people inside.
"General Shi, come in."
Shi Yue got in the car.
The space inside the car is very large, and the decorative ornaments exude luxury and opulence everywhere.
"General, you only play these with me when I feel wronged. The journey is long and boring, so I want to find someone to talk to."
Although Yinghua was a princess, she was also a canary raised deep in the palace and had never left the palace.
Not to mention such a far place.
Therefore, I also underestimated the difficulty of traveling long distances.
Compared to the panic and reluctance when I first set out on the journey, now all that’s left is the boring and tedious hardship.
I couldn't help it, so I sent my personal maid to ask.
I originally thought that a heroine like Shi Yue would not bother to accompany her in doing these useless things to kill time.
I didn't expect that she would actually come.
"Princess, there is no need to say that. It is my duty to relieve your boredom."
Shi Yue was of course happy. Compared to a group of stinky men, she naturally liked the beautiful and elegant Princess more.
The princess felt very happy after hearing her words.
"If General Shi were a man, I can't imagine how many women would fall in love with you."
She is handsome, easy-going, and most importantly, her caring and humorous words.
It's irresistible.
Shi Yue laughed in response. She didn't want to be a man.
Being a woman is too hard, and she needs to pave the way for them as a woman, so as to guide more women to step out of the boudoir in the future.
