"General Chu, Sixth Highness, presumably our Highness has been waiting in a hurry, so let's come in first." The guard said respectfully.

So the two followed the guard into the courtyard and walked to the hall.

After entering the hall, Chu Nanyue saw Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang sitting on the seat at a glance.

Because of the invasion of time, the eldest princess's hair has turned gray, but her eyes are very clear. Between her eyebrows and eyes, she was a rare beauty in the world when she was young.

And her expression is not angry but mighty, because of old age, the corners of her eyes are naturally covered with fine lines, and there is more love, but through this old man's kindness, she faintly shows her fierceness back then.

"At the end, I will see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang." Chu Nanyue stepped forward and saluted.

"Auntie, grandchildren have come to see you." Tanglin Shuo also said loudly.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang looked at the two of them with a smile: "Get up!" ”

Seeing the two of them get up, she hurriedly instructed her maids to pour tea.

"Shuo'er, you kid hasn't been here for a long time, have you forgotten my aunt and grandmother?" Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang pretended to be angry.

Tanglin Shuo hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare this grandson?" It's been a busy few months. If the grandson is really so idle, he is really willing to visit his aunt and grandmother every day. ”

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang was coaxed by him to laugh: "You are still like this." Although he is so mature and stable in front of outsiders, he is still a child in front of me. ”

Chu Nanyue laughed with their ancestors and grandchildren, and the hall was full of a warm atmosphere between family members.

Chu Nanyue was envious in her heart, and she heard Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang start to ask about her, and said, "General Chu, I heard that you have been in the army with Shuo'er for a year, and it is not that he is in the barracks, have you embarrassed my aunt and grandmother?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, although Her Royal Highness the Sixth has little experience in the military camp, he is willing to study and study. Although the last general did not pay much attention to him, he also knew that he was a wise and steady man. Chu Nanyue thought for a while before replying.

"That's fine." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang smiled, "But it's funny, although you haven't paid much attention to him." He often mentions you in his letters. ”

In the barracks for a year, there were very few letters from Tanglin Shuo, and the person mentioned in the barracks was only one Chu Nanyue.

Among the emperor's several princes, the eldest princess of Xunyang loves Dongling Shuo's temperament the most. When Tanglin Shuo was a child, she often took him into the house to play.

Because Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang cares most about the prince of Dongling Shuo, she naturally wrote down Chu Nanyue, who is often mentioned.

Chu Nanyue heard it vaguely and didn't understand what it meant, but Donglin Shuo took the lead in stopping and said, "Grandmother, you don't have to talk about me, the main thing today is to let General Chu come to see you." ”

The eldest princess of Xunyang also nodded, and turned to Chu Nanyue and asked, "Do you still like the pair of golden steps I gave you to ask Shuo'er to give you?" Why didn't you wear it? ”

"I like it very much, but I should cherish good things, and even more so of the things you gave me, Your Highness." Chu Nanyue replied. "Actually, when I came to see His Highness today, I hesitated, and then I chose to see His Highness in my usual clothes, so I didn't wear it."

"That's good, General Chu, I didn't misread you." The eldest princess of Xunyang appreciated.

When she first learned that Chu Nanyue was a woman, she went deep into the military camp like her, and when she marched to fight, she had a sense of sympathy.

Chu Nanyue was slightly stunned, and heard the eldest princess of Xunyang say: "If you are an ordinary person, when you come to see me, you can't wait to wear gold and silver, and you will be extremely rich." But I've always liked people to see me as I am. General Chu, it's true that I gave you Jin Buyao, and now that I see you dressed up so neatly and neatly, it's true that I like it in my heart. ”

The words of the eldest princess of Xunyang made Chu Nanyue's heart warm.

"Your Highness, it is really an honor to be able to compliment you. In fact, when I was in the barracks many years ago, I wanted to see you, and now I finally got my wish, but I am full of emotion. Chu Nanyue said with emotion.

"Where did you hear that?" The eldest princess of Xunyang asked.

"It was heard in the barracks. Your Highness is like a myth, even though you have retired many years ago, the old people in the army still remember you. Chu Nanyue recalled. When they were not marching and fighting, they often talked about you during their breaks, and I had heard of the countless battles you had led. ”

It is precisely because of this that the eldest princess of Xunyang has become a kind of reverence in Chu Nanyue's heart.

"General Chu, you must know that because of the long time, these things will be added to the vinegar, and even deify me." The eldest princess of Xunyang did not have the slightest arrogance, but calmly analyzed.

"Because it helps to appease the morale of the military, there will naturally be some myths. But everything also has its roots. Chu Nanyue said, "However, at the end of today, I will have the honor to meet His Highness, and I will find that His Highness is also an ordinary person, but I feel even more respectable." ”

"Where does that start?" The eldest princess of Xunyang became interested and couldn't help asking.

"People who are usually deified often lose even their normal feelings with deification. But today, when I see the deep love between His Highness and the Sixth Highness, I know that although His Highness is decisive in the battlefield, he is also tender. Chu Nanyue said earnestly and sincerely.

Those of them who have been on the battlefield for a long time are accustomed to seeing life and death. And seeing too much about life and death, it's easy to look down on everything.

The family members around you may have been the original intention and help in the past, but unconsciously, some people will also be cold-hearted, and in the end, they will lose that enthusiasm for anyone.

But the first time she saw the eldest princess of Xunyang, she knew that even if she had been on the battlefield for several years, she still retained a clean corner of her heart.

That warmth belongs to the family.

"General Chu, you are the same as me." The eldest princess of Xunyang said, "But don't be sad, the warmth should indeed be kept, but it should only be reserved for those who are worthy." You still have a long way to go, but what kind of life you will have in the future? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your enlightenment." Chu Nanyue said gratefully.

Hearing the words of the eldest princess of Xunyang, Chu Nanyue, who had always been extremely calm, had the corners of her eyes slightly moist.

It turned out that the eldest princess of Xunyang even understood this matter. She did have that warmth for the Chu family.

On the battlefield, she is a victorious general who terrifies the enemy. Her hands were stained with blood.

But at that time, there was always a hope in her heart, and she thought about it over and over again.

She wants to return to the Chu family alive and see the relatives she has been worried about.

But as the eldest princess of Xunyang said, it's not worth it.

And Chu Nanyue himself should have found out a long time ago.

When she sent a letter to the Chu family and asked about the situation of her family, she was disappointed when she only got a few perfunctory words.

Every time the letter sent by the Chu family was extremely brief, only asking about victory or defeat and military exploits.

Fortunately, I was able to wake up through a rebirth, so those painful memories of my past life became another reminder of luck.
