Bai Qi went down to the court, and returned to the Imperial Palace with a heavy heart.

"Your Highness, are you still worried about the border patrol"? Manager Kou asked, offering a cup of lotus seed tea.

"Hmm...", Bai Qi took a sip of tea and said: "Now the treasury is not full, and the food and armament of the four battalions are particularly reluctant, and the patrol border defense is a little powerless."

"Your Highness, why don't you just reject the general's request"?

"How to dismiss it, what General Nangong said is reasonable, besides, the border military affairs are very important, and they have not been inspected for many years, don't you see that the generals in the court agree very much"?

"Then why don't you talk to the high priest and let him persuade the general."

"Still don't... Let me think about it again, but the three Nangong princes will go together, I don't know if I can let Feng Yi or Feng Yuan go with me?"

"Does Your Highness mean to cultivate affection between the princess and the three princes"?

"Let's make a decision, I approved Nangong Yuan's invitation, and it is time to distribute the winter food, so let Nangong Yuan take it with him", Bai Qi thought about it and suddenly frowned and said: "It's just, Nangong Yuan, will he agree to let the princess go with him?"

In the Division, Yan Ziyue saw that Nangong Yu did not come, and wondered if there was something else.

"What's wrong, Ziyue"? Bu Ziyan touched Yan Ziyue, who was stunned.

"It's okay", Yan Ziyue smiled slightly.

Bu Ziyan glanced at Nangong Yu's empty seat, and then he knew, and said with a smile: "Is it because of Nangong Yu?"

Yan Ziyue did not deny it, raised her good-looking eyebrows, and signaled to listen to the class first and talk about it after class.

After class, Yan Ziyue hurriedly packed up her books and prepared to leave.

"Ziyue, where are you going? What about the Master's class in a moment"?

"I'll go see Nangong Pardon, if the master asks, just say that I'm not feeling well and go back first", Yan Ziyue said and turned to leave, Bu Ziyan looked at it and smiled indifferently: "Does Ziyue also understand her own thoughts?"

Yan Ziyue came to the General's Mansion, and when Steward Zhou opened the door, he knew that the other party was Yan Ziyue, and his face was a little bored.

"I'm looking for Nangong pardon, is he at home"?

"My little son is sick and recuperating, and it is inconvenient to see guests, Princess Ziyue, please go back!"

Yan Ziyue looked at Steward Zhou, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a resolute face, thinking that the housekeeper who dared not let the princess enter the door was afraid that this was the only one, worthy of being a person from the General's Mansion, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Maybe he wants to see me, why don't you report it, is this the hospitality of the General's Mansion?"

Steward Zhou never thought that this princess was quite difficult, and she was very sharp-toothed, seeing that she was neatly dressed and came on horseback, but she did not regard herself as noble and arrogant, and she was not annoyed in the face of her own drive, and suddenly felt that it was quite pleasing to the eye, so he opened the door and let her enter the mansion, leading her to wait in the hall.

Steward Zhou ordered someone to serve tea, and then went to the backyard, but unfortunately met Mrs. Wei, and told Yan Ziyue about coming to the house. Mrs. Wei didn't have to tell Nangong for the time being, and asked Steward Zhou to lead Yan Ziyue to Huafang.

Yan Ziyue followed Steward Zhou around several corridors, and she felt that she couldn't figure out the direction.

"Steward Zhou, who are you taking me to meet?" Yan Ziyue stopped and asked.

Steward Zhou glanced at Yan Ziyue, thinking that this girl was very alert, and she actually saw it.

"Princess Ziyue, our lady wants to see you."

"Is it Nangong Yu's mother"?

"Princess Ziyue is really smart, exactly."

"Oh... Let's go".

Steward Zhou brought Yan Ziyue to the flower shop, and saw that Mrs. Wei was bending down to take care of the flowers and plants: "Madam, Princess Ziyue has arrived."

Mrs. Wei turned around and smiled gently at Yan Ziyue, and put down the silver scissors in her hand.

"Steward Zhou, you go down first."

"Yes...", Steward Zhou turned to leave.

"Princess Ziyue, come and sit", Mrs. Wei beckoned Yan Ziyue over.

"Yue'er has seen Madame", Yan Ziyue nodded slightly.

The two sat down under a grapevine trellis, and the maidservant immediately served flower tea.

"Princess Ziyue, the last time we met was in the Temple of the Dead, we haven't seen each other in the past few years, and our outings have become more and more marked."

Yan Ziyue found out that the people in the General's Mansion didn't take the royal power and wealth in their eyes, no wonder the three children of the Nangong family were so arrogant, but they were still respectful and orderly, and treated people well.

"Madame, what are you looking for me?" Yan Ziyue doesn't like to beat around the bush, and it doesn't seem to be necessary.

"Princess Ziyue, it's reckless, no wonder Yu'er likes it"!

Yan Ziyue didn't answer, quietly drank tea, and waited for Mrs. Wei to continue.

"Princess Ziyue, what do you think of our pardon?"

Yan Ziyue could hear the meaning of the words, glanced at Mrs. Wei, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to answer directly, so she said frankly: "I like Nangong pardon very much."

Mrs. Wei didn't expect Yan Ziyue to answer so straightforwardly, but she was a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Wei felt that chatting with Yan Ziyue was very labor-saving, and she didn't have to worry too much, it was better to go straight, so she rearranged what she wanted to say.

"Princess Ziyue, thank you for accompanying Yu'er when you were in the Temple of the Dead."

Yan Ziyue could see that Mrs. Wei was sincerely thanking, so she replied: "Nangong Yu has always been with me."

Mrs. Wei smiled slightly when she heard this, feeling that Yan Ziyue was very understanding, and felt even more relaxed.

"Princess Ziyue, how much do you know about the Nangong family?"

"I don't know much, but if you look at General Nangong, you know that the Nangong family is not only a martial arts family, but more importantly, the status and responsibilities of the men of the Nangong family are different from those of ordinary people in Huofeng, so Nangong pardon is no exception, right?"

Mrs. Wei felt that she couldn't dislike Yan Ziyue anymore, she was smart and kind, independent and confident, if it weren't for the identity of the princess, she would like to accept her as her goddaughter, and she would be happy to marry Yu'er in the future.

"Princess Ziyue, you're right. Yu'er is in the Nangong family, so he has the responsibility to accept and bear everything in the Nangong family. Nangong has been a military general for generations, and has always regarded men as the bloodline of the family inheritance, every man of the Nangong family must remember the family motto of the Nangong family, and be an indomitable man who can only marry in and not marry out. When Yu'er was a child, he was weak and weak, he didn't like to dance with knives and sticks, he loved to read, and accompanied me to raise flowers and grass, and I always felt that he had given birth to the wrong boy, and I was troubled for a long time. Later, the general agreed to the marriage with King Kang, and when he told me about it, I was quite surprised, but the general was at ease with the general's consideration. Later, Yu'er went to the Temple of Death with you, and it was six years to go, I don't know how Yu'er spent these six years, I didn't fulfill the responsibility of being a mother, and when I saw him again, he was no longer the quiet Yu'er in my impression, I saw the kind of breath that Nangong Jia'er should have for the first time when I looked at him, and I don't know whether to be happy or worried. When he came back, I was so happy, and I wanted to do my best to make up for the lack of maternal love that he had lacked over the years, but I found that he was no longer needed, and that he had become a powerful man like his father, and not only that, but the courage and wisdom he showed everywhere not only surprised me, but also shocked his father. The general liked Yu'er more and more, and found that he not only had the talent to be a general, but also the strategy of leading the troops, and his martial arts were good, even above his father. All these made the general have high hopes for him, wanting Yu'er to become a better man than himself and earn higher glory for the Nangong family. Therefore, the general does not allow Yu'er to be too close to you, and does not want him to waste his ambition to become a hero because of the love of children, especially because of your repeated outrageous things and disobeying the general, which makes the general very angry, so that he forces Yu'er not to associate with you again. However, my pardon is so stubborn and unwilling to live or die, so he was used by the general, and now he is lying down to recuperate", Mrs. Wei paused when she said this, and then said: "Princess Ziyue, I am telling you this as a mother, in order to ask if you can think more about pardon, I know that I am very selfish and cruel to you, but I think I should do it."

Yan Ziyue really didn't expect Nangong Yu to endure so much for herself, she was moved and distressed, and she was even more firm in her feelings for Nangong Yu, he Nangong Yu didn't flinch no matter what, so naturally he couldn't be weak.

"Madam, you don't want me to promise not to have anything to do with Nangong Yu again, do you? If yes, then I'm sorry, I can't. If not, I thank you, ma'am. However, I will consider persuading Nangong to disobey General Nangong all the time, but, as for the matter between me and Nangong Pardon, I don't like anyone to interfere, not even General Nangong."

Mrs. Wei didn't expect Yan Ziyue to say such a thing, she couldn't react for a while, she reacted for a long time, and she didn't know what to say, she heard the meaning of Yan Ziyue's last sentence very clearly, she and Yu'er's affairs are their own decisions, no one is allowed to interfere, such courage and determination really do not lose the general at all.

"Madam, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to see Nangong Pardon", Yan Ziyue felt that her mind was also a little confused, and it was time to sort it out, whether it was Nangong Pardon or for herself, she needed to think about it, but she didn't regret what she said just now.

Mrs. Wei had no reason to stay, so she followed Yan Ziyue.

Yan Ziyue saw that Mrs. Wei did not stop her, so she turned around and left, leaving the General's Mansion and going back directly to King Kang's Mansion.

Nangong Yu learned the news of Yan Ziyue's coming to the General's Mansion from the little attendant who gave him medicine, regardless of the injuries on his body, he chased him out after getting dressed, and met Steward Zhou, saying that Yan Ziyue had left, he couldn't believe it, and looked outside the General's Mansion for a long time.

"Steward Zhou, Yue'er came to see me, right, why didn't you bring her to me?"

"Xiao Shizi, Madame asked me to take Princess Ziyue to see her in Huafang."

"Then why did you leave"?

"This...", Steward Zhou couldn't answer.

"I'm going to find my mother", Nangong Yu threw down a sentence and ran to the flower shop, the wound on his back was cracked and bleeding and stained his clothes red, and he didn't care.

Steward Zhou looked at it, so he had to shake his head silently, and called the little attendant to come over and said, "Go and ask the doctor to come, I'm afraid the injury on the back of the little world will be rebandaged in a while."

"Yes...", the little attendant hurriedly ran out of the mansion.
