"Where did you come from, you little beggar? Go away and don't block our business here."

The smaller version of Yan Yan took a broken bowl and went to the inn to ask for something to eat, but was driven out by the waiter.

In years of famine, the ground was littered with starving people.

Yan Yan originally had no parents, and his master said that he was placed at the gate of the Taoist temple.

The master felt sorry for him and took him into the Taoist temple to feed him.

But the master later fell ill and passed away. The abbot was a black-hearted person. Because Yan Yan was young and couldn't do much work but still had to eat, he drove him out.

Yan Yan begged all the way. He didn't know where he was going. He just felt that this place was very prosperous, like a paradise on earth. There were some kind-hearted people who took pity on him and gave him food, sometimes like today.

He thought he would be hungry today, so he curled up and found a sheltered place to rest.

Suddenly, someone shouted for help. It was a girl. Her way was blocked by two adults who looked fierce and ferocious.

Yan Yan wanted to sit back and do nothing because he was just a child and couldn't help her.

But the master's teachings always echoed in his ears. Unable to get over the hurdle of conscience, Yan Yan still supported his frail body and stood in front of the girl.

The girl was extremely beautiful, wearing a blue emerald veil, a pleated skirt with a flower-sprinkled mist of green grass, and a light blue emerald veil. Her shoulders were cut into waistlines, her skin was as white as cream, and her breath was as faint as orchids. She bent her slender waist and took small steps, showing her fair wrists in the veil. Her eyes were full of spring water and her hair was slanted with a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin.

She looked at the little boy who was about the same height as her but thinner than her and suddenly appeared in front of her, and pulled at his clothes.

"You'd better leave me alone. You can't beat them."

Yan Yan stubbornly stood in front and refused to move.

"That's better than just sitting back and doing nothing."

When the two big men saw that the person standing in front of them was a skinny and dirty little beggar, they burst into laughter.

"You bastard, do you think you can stop us?"

Xu Qingyue looked at Yan Yan, whose legs were shaking, and whispered:

"Don't be afraid. Let's try to delay the time. Someone who is protecting me will come to rescue us soon."

Yan Yan immediately saw hope, and he trembled as he spoke:

"Who asked you two grown men to bully a girl? It's a disgrace to men."

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in our business. This girl owes a debt and won't pay it back. Can't we just take it ourselves?"

Yan Yan was a little hesitant after hearing this. He thought she was the one being bullied, but he didn't expect that she would actually owe debts and not pay them back. She seemed to be very rich.

Seeing that he had begun to believe her a little, Xu Qingyue stamped her feet in anger.

"Don't believe them. I don't owe them any money. They just wanted to rob me because I was dressed well!"

Yan Yan looked at the girl, then looked at the two big men, and stood in front of the girl again.

"Even if she really owes you money, you should have discussed it properly. This is not right. It's really inappropriate."

At this time, the guards who followed Xu Qingyue out of the palace to protect her finally found her. They quickly drew their swords and surrounded the two strong men.

A little girl who looked younger than Xu Qingyue ran over, hugged Xu Qingyue and burst into tears.

"elder sister!!!!!!!!"

"I was so scared. I thought you were going to get lost. The emperor would chop me up when I get back."

Xu Qingyue was worried that the girl would spit her snot onto the green shirt she had just changed into, so she quickly pushed her away.

"Qinse, are you worried about me or your head, huh?"

The little girl called Qinse bowed in grievance.

"Of course I'm worried about my sister."

After saying that, he helped Xu Qingyue into the carriage.

Xu Qingyue lifted the cloth from the window, looked at Yan Yan with a sweet smile, and invited:

"Young man, do you want to come with me to visit my house?"

Yan Yan instantly understood that the identity of the person in front of him was vastly different from his own. His master said that saving people was to make himself feel at ease and he did not ask for anything in return, so he shook his head and refused.

Xu Qingyue gave Qinse a look, and Qinse asked the coachman to drive.

Yan Yan thought she would just leave without even saying thank you, but unexpectedly, one of the guards following her immediately grabbed him onto a horse and galloped away with him.

When he arrived at the princess' bedroom in the imperial palace, Yan Yan was still confused.

He couldn't understand why she had already refused him, and yet she just kidnapped him without saying anything. It was really rude.

Xu Qingyue changed into a red dress, walked out of the room and sat in the main seat.

"Young man, I should thank you and invite you to the palace for tea, but I have something to deal with and I am worried that we won't meet again, so I have to ask you to come with me first."

"Qinse, hurry up and serve tea to the young hero."

Yan Yan sat in his seat, not daring to look around. He only dared to stare at his tea bowl. He was worried that if he broke something, he would not be able to afford the compensation even if he sold himself.

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I am a humble person, and it is my honor to be able to help you occasionally."

Xu Qingyue looked at the little beggar, a child younger than herself. Although he was also afraid at the time, he still stood in front of her resolutely. Seeing that he was dressed in simple clothes, she frowned and asked:

"Do you have anywhere to go?"

Yan Yan answered obediently:

"No, I was originally raised by my master in a Taoist temple, but later the temple master kicked me out, so I had to beg for a living."

As he spoke, Yan Yan's stomach growled and his face turned red instantly.

Xu Qingyue chuckled and quickly told Qinse to prepare the meal.

"In that case, if you don't mind, how about you stay in my palace? I happen to be in need of a personal guard."

"So you have a place to stay, and it is not my charity. You receive a monthly salary, and I will not hold you hostage."

Yan Yan thought about it and decided that if this was the case, it would be fine. At least he wouldn’t have to wander around. In this way, he still owed her.

"I thank the princess for her kindness, but I cannot accept gifts without merit. I ask the princess to allow me to learn martial arts from her guards. After I become an apprentice, I can protect the princess and then I can receive a monthly salary."

Xu Qingyue nodded.

"That's right."

From then on, she called him little Taoist priest.

Later, he protected her closely and went wherever she went.

Later, she could stand on her own and became a mighty female general, and he became her shadow. She protected the people and he protected her.

Yan Yan didn't know when she had the first change of heart. Was it on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony?

Or the day when she was out and he was the only one serving her, and she blushed and asked him to prepare a menstrual belt for her?

Or was it the day when the emperor showed her a prince consort?

He only knew that he seemed to be crazy for daring to covet Her Royal Highness the Princess, the one he respected the most.

Ever since he had been with her, he had realized how fascinating she was, and her appearance was her least noteworthy advantage.

She is eloquent and eloquent, and can leave the dialect officials speechless.

She was smart and powerful, and all the generals in the city were impressed by her.
