Rebirth: I Farm in Hell to Live a Lifelong Life

Chapter 92: Little Taoist Priest, can you marry me?

The most important thing is that she cares about the people and worries about the country and the people.

With great ability comes great responsibility, and she seems to be busy every day.

She said that her father knew how to use people well and he believed in her ability, so he entrusted important matters to her. She should live up to his trust and the people.

If he followed her at first because of survival, he followed her later because of his deep respect for her.

However, a gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried and worried.

Because Her Royal Highness the Princess was too dazzling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt a sense of crisis, and he began to target Xu Qingyue intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Xu Qingyue knew that her brother was narrow-minded, she had no time to care about him. At that time, natural disasters occurred frequently, with heavy rains in the south and droughts in the north. The people were suffering, and the neighboring countries were eyeing them covetously. It was a situation of internal and external troubles.

Xu Qingyue was so busy that she had no time to rest every day and she had lost a lot of weight.

Qinse felt very distressed when she saw Xu Qingyue rubbing her temple while sitting in front of her desk.

"Sister, it's late, you should take a rest. We can deal with these tomorrow."

Xu Qingyue put down the pen in her hand and closed her eyes.

"Qinse, you also know that these things cannot be delayed. If I deal with them sooner, there is a chance that one, several, or more people will survive."

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Qinse ran to the door angrily and vented her anger on Yan Yan.

"You are such an idiot, you don't even know how to persuade the princess. She has endured for five days. If she continues like this, her body will collapse."

Yan Yan saw Xu Qingyue's behavior and felt pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade her and could only worry. He also felt that Qinse was right to call him a fool.

"Miss Qinse, go and persuade the princess more. Maybe she will listen."

"If the princess had listened, she wouldn't have endured until now."

Qinse has followed Xu Qingyue since she was a child. Xu Qingyue treats her as her own sister, so she knows Xu Qingyue's personality very well.

She knew Xu Qingyue's stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat, and she also knew her sense of responsibility.

"Why don't you go and persuade her? Standing here like a log all day, how can you help the princess?"

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to trip up the Princess at every turn, and you're just going to sit back and do nothing?"

Yan Yan moved his mouth but still stood there motionless. He had no right to persuade her.

Qinse poked Yan Yan's wooden head in disappointment.

"Everyone in the Princess's Mansion knows what you are thinking. Are you willing to watch someone else appear by the princess' side one day without fighting for anything?"

Yan Yan lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse:

"What do I have in mind? Miss Qinse is joking. It is my honor to serve the princess."

The harp and the zither still chatter:

"Then who do you think is worthy of the princess in this world, Master Zhang from the General's Mansion or Master Li from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Yan Yan frowned. Young Master Zhang from the General's Mansion was not good-looking and was also a lustful man. Although Young Master Li from the Prime Minister's Mansion had good character, he was too feminine. The princess could beat him half to death with just one hand. That was not appropriate.

Thinking about the fact that there was not a single young man of marriageable age in the imperial city who was worthy of the princess, for some reason a hint of joy flashed through his heart.

Yan Yan clenched his fists and tried to calm himself down.

"The Emperor will definitely find a suitable candidate. This is not something you and I can worry about."

"Qinser."

The princess's voice came from the inner room, and Qinse quickly responded. Before leaving, she did not forget to spit at Yan Yan and cursed in a low voice:

"coward."

But that night, after Xu Qingyue fell asleep, Yan Yan hid in the tree in front of the house and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He was somewhat unwilling, he wanted to have the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Her Royal Highness the Princess, rather than following behind her and being her shadow.

After thinking about it all night, he became more determined in his inner thoughts. Even if she disagreed, he was willing to share the burden with her. Since she wanted to protect the country, he would do it for her.

The next day, Yan Yan knelt in front of Xu Qingyue.

"Your Highness, I beg you to give me a chance to join the army."

Xu Qingyue raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He used to be indifferent, but now he has desires?

"What do you do in the army?"

"Defend the home and the country!"

"Little Taoist priest, wouldn't it be nice for you to be my bodyguard?"

"I want to share the princess' worries!"

Behind Xu Qingyue, a hint of surprise flashed across Qinse's face. She thought Yan Yan would be the same this time as before, but she didn't expect that he would actually muster up the courage this time.

Xu Qingyue sighed, stood up and helped him up.

"You are by my side to share my worries. Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from a battle in history?"

"Little Taoist priest, I don't want to lose you."

Yan Yan is worthy of being the guard following Xu Qingyue, and he is just as stubborn as her.

"I will be careful in everything. Princess, thank you for allowing me to start from the bottom."

Xu Qingyue knew that she couldn't persuade him, nor could she stop him from pursuing his ambitions, so she just asked:

"How many years will it take to come back?"

"I will definitely be back in three years."

"it is good!"

Xu Qingyue didn't know why, but she just felt that her heart was a little empty. Looking at the familiar face, she felt as if she had never understood him.

Qinse brought the wine glass, and Xu Qingyue personally poured wine for Yan Yan.

"Drink this glass of wine, and take care of yourself. If you don't come back in three years, I will go to the battlefield to capture you myself!"

Yan Yan was away for three years. In just three years, he was successfully promoted from an unknown person to General of the Central Army, becoming the youngest General of the Central Army at that time.

Only he knows the twists and turns and pains involved, but it's all worth it.

But Yan Yan was still a little unsatisfied. He felt that the status of General of the Household was not worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess. He decided to work hard for another two years to become a general before going back.

When Yan Yan finished a day's training and returned to the tent, he found an unexpected person sitting inside.

Her lotus sleeves fluttered, her feathered clothes danced, she was as delicate as a spring flower and as charming as the autumn moon.

The person he had been thinking about day and night was now standing in front of him.

Yan Yan immediately knelt down and saluted.

"I am here to meet you, Your Highness the Princess."

Xu Qingyue looked at the man in front of her. He was darker, stronger, had a long beard that he hadn't shaved, and looked sloppy. But Xu Qingyue thought he was good-looking in every way.

"Little Taoist priest, you didn't keep your promise, so I came to arrest you."

Yan Yan felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry. Men don't shed tears easily. He didn't even cry when he was nearly assassinated. But her words made his eyes red.

"I have failed in my duty. Please punish me, Princess."

Xu Qingyue paced back and forth, fanning herself with a fan.

"What should I punish you with?"

"I heard that Zhonglangjiang is good at grilling fish, so I'll punish you by asking you to grill one for me."

"I obey!"

The two of them sat in front of the fire, with the zither and the se serving beside them.

The firelight shone on her face, making her look cold and gentle.

"Little Taoist priest, my father said that I have reached the age to get married, but I don't want to get married. Will you marry me?"
