Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

He Shulan and the prince changed into clothes worn by common people and left behind the maids and servants around them.

When we arrived at the busy street, it was completely dark. Lanterns were hung on the shops on both sides, illuminating the capital city in the darkness.

More and more people were coming and going on the street, and the prince stood beside He Shulan to block the crowd for her.

Walking to the front, vendors from all over the place kept shouting, and He Shulan bought a lot of snacks.

A lot of people gathered on the riverside near the lake, and the cheers were endless, which attracted He Shulan's attention.

He Shulan walked over and stood behind the crowd. She saw someone writing calligraphy in the middle of the pavilion.

She immediately became interested, but there were too many people standing in front of her and she couldn't squeeze in.

Seeing this, the prince used his tall and burly body to push through the crowd and pulled He Shulan to the front.

He Shulan asked, "How does this competition proceed?"

All the people here are scholars, and they are all well-known in the capital: "We are holding a calligraphy competition. Whoever wins can take away this set of four treasures of the study made of ink bamboo."

The four treasures of the study made of black bamboo are very rare, and even the emperor in the palace may not be able to get them.

He Shulan was very satisfied with the prize: "I'll try it too."

At this time, the people around laughed, laughing at He Shulan's overestimation of her own abilities: "Miss, I advise you not to participate in the competition, otherwise you will be embarrassed."

He Shulan didn't really care: "It's just a competition. If I lose, I lose. Besides, I believe in myself."

The prince unconditionally supported He Shulan, picked up the brush on the table and handed it to He Shulan: "I believe in you too."

He Shulan took the brush and waved her arms vigorously. The word "狂" (crazy) appeared on the white paper in front of her.

The handwriting is sloppy, but sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an edge.

"Good words."

There was loud applause all around.

He Shulan put down the pen in her hand and looked at the people around her proudly.

The prince shook his head when he saw her playful look.

He Shulan took the prize and walked out of the pavilion.

"Your calligraphy looks like it was written by a boy, strong and powerful, yet arrogant and sloppy."

He Shulan glanced at the prince who was speaking and said, "I learned calligraphy from my grandfather, and I also learned the handwriting from him. I didn't expect to win the competition today."

"You are quite good. Not only can you write in regular script, but you can also write in cursive script."

He Shulan blushed when the prince praised her: "Please don't praise me anymore. I will feel embarrassed if you praise me again."

At this time, the crowd was in turmoil. Some people ran and shouted: "The Hu people have broken into the capital. Everyone, run!"

The prince's face changed drastically. This was not the frontier. How could the Hu people break into the capital? Moreover, the Hu people were brutal and would kill anyone they saw.

Now was not the time to think about these things. He held He Shulan in his arms, stood on the steps nearby, and directed the people on the street: "Don't panic, run into the alley, so that the people on horseback can't cut you down."

When the people heard the prince's words, they all ran into the alley.

The prince saw the Hu people on horseback. They were wearing common people's clothes and had shaved their beards clean.

It was hard to tell whether they were Hu people or civilians from the capital, no wonder they were able to deceive the soldiers guarding the city gates.

The prince pulled He Shulan and ran forward.

He Shulan panted and said, "It's still a long way from here to the Prince's Mansion. If we run like this, we will definitely not be able to outrun the four legs of a horse."

The prince wanted to kill the enemy, but he was worried about He Shulan. He saw some people hiding in a restaurant not far away.

He took He Shulan by the hand and ran into the restaurant: "You hide here with these people. Don't open the door if anyone knocks. I will go to the government office to find Prince Ning and catch the Hu people who broke into the capital."

This was the first time He Shulan faced this situation, and she was very scared, but she knew that she couldn't hold the prince back at this time: "Okay, be careful and don't get hurt."

The prince looked at He Shulan deeply, left the restaurant, and walked along the path to the government office.

Seeing Prince Ning sitting there leisurely drinking tea, he said: "You are still in the mood to drink tea, something happened in the capital, you should lead the soldiers and come with me to catch the Hu people."

Prince Ning's face changed drastically: "What did you say? The Hu people from the border came to the capital. How did they get in? Moreover, the border is so far away from the capital. What do they want to do in the capital?"

"Now is not the time to ask these questions. They are slaughtering the people of the capital. Hurry up and lead the soldiers with me to rescue them."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ning did not delay and immediately led his soldiers and followed the Prince to the streets of the capital.

Seeing the Hu people holding up their swords, Prince Ning shouted, "You are so bold! Not only did you cause trouble in the border areas, you actually broke into the capital."

The prince said nothing, pulled the bow in his hand, and shot the Hu man with the sharp arrow.

Each of them led his soldiers to fight in the streets of the capital. The sound of weapons clashing and shouting was endless.

The Hu people broke into the capital city, intending to launch a surprise attack, grab what they wanted and leave, but they did not expect to encounter soldiers.

After a fierce battle, many Hu people died and gradually they could not resist the prince's cavalry.

The leader of the Hu people ordered the rest of the people to flee quickly.

The Prince of Jun and Prince Ning led their soldiers in pursuit.

The Hu people were chased and fled in all directions.

……

The people hiding in the restaurant and He Shulan sat on the ground, listening to the sound of horse hooves and swords outside, holding their breath.

The time spent here was extremely difficult. He Shulan was very worried about the prince and wondered how he was doing now.

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open forcefully.

The man standing at the door was tall and had a murderous look in his eyes. Although he was holding the clothes of a citizen of the capital, he was definitely not a citizen of the capital.

At this time, everyone didn't know each other, didn't know who the other person was, and didn't dare to move around.

The Hu man standing at the door looked at the people of Beijing in the restaurant hall with an evil smile on his face.

They were being chased by the soldiers and could not escape from the capital, so they could capture these civilians as hostages and use them to leave the capital.

With a wave of his hand, the Hu soldiers standing behind him realized that their leader had caught him, and stepped forward to capture the people of the capital who were hiding in the hall of the restaurant.

The people were frightened and screamed and struggled hard.

The Hu man raised his sword impatiently and said, "If you continue to make a scene, I will chop off your heads."

The people present were so frightened that they dared not make a sound. They could only shed tears silently and followed the Hu people out obediently. Among them were many children and unmarried girls.

He Shulan was also arrested. She hid in the crowd, not daring to make a sound or reveal her identity. She was glad that she could go out today and change out of her luxurious clothes.
