Yan Yan held his breath nervously, not daring to move. He could only hear his own heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

"Princess, are you joking?"

However, Yan Yan immediately realized that the princess was unwilling to marry anyone else, so she chose him as a suitable candidate, not because he was the only one, but just because he was suitable.

A trace of sadness flashed through his heart, and he smiled bitterly to comfort himself. Even if she didn't love him, she had chosen him as her first choice, right? If he agreed, he could stand by her side with a clear conscience.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xu Qingyue thought he disagreed.

"I'm not joking. My position in the capital is now in jeopardy. My brother sees me as a thorn in his side. Rather than staying in the capital, I'd rather marry you and go to the frontier."

"Besides, you don't have to worry about losing your position as Zhonglang Jiang."

"I am willing."

Yan Yan interrupted Xu Qingyue before she finished speaking. Xu Qingyue thought she had misheard.

"What did you say?"

Yan Yan looked into her eyes and answered word by word:

"I am willing."

Xu Qingyue only felt that the calm lake of her heart was stirred up, her face flushed, as if all the blood in her body was concentrated on her face.

She subconsciously stepped back, her face flushed, and her long eyelashes slowly drooped, but her eyes were shining with a strange light, smiling, with a determined look on her face.

"You don't need to worry about losing your position as Lieutenant General. I will tell my father that I will no longer be involved in government affairs, so you can continue to fight in the army."

"I will set up the princess's residence here, and I will take care of all the affairs in your residence in the future..."

Yan Yan smiled and shook his head. He said gently:

"Princess, you have worked hard for a long time. Now let me take care of the rest."

"I've already said that I want to share the princess' worries."

Xu Qingyue was stunned for a moment. Did he have such thoughts? Then was it right or wrong for her to come to him?

Will this hurt him?

"If you don't want to, I can think of other ways."

The one who responded to him was Yan Yan's slightly trembling voice:

"I am very happy that the princess thought of me first. I am so happy."

Two months later, the General proposed to marry the princess. With a ten-mile-long wedding dress, the princess followed her husband to the border.

A year later, the General of the Central Army was awarded the title of General of the Cavalry for his meritorious service in defeating the enemy.

After Xu Qingyue arrived at the border, she had nothing to do at home every day. Yan Yan would arrange everything for her or ask Qinse to do it.

Xu Qingyue finally had some quiet time.

One day, she saw several white flowers with a fragrant smell in the yard. She was very happy and asked the servants what flowers they were. The servants replied that they were jasmine flowers.

Xu Qingyue found a flower slave to teach her how to grow jasmine.

When Yan Yan returned home, what he saw was Xu Qingyue working in the field with a hoe.

As soon as she saw Yan Yan, Xu Qingyue's eyes sparkled and she waved at him.

"Little Taoist priest, come and see, are the flowers I planted good?"

Maybe it was because it was her first time farming, Xu Qingyue wanted to plant the flowers in rows, but the hoe seemed to not listen to her and was always crooked, so the flowers were not planted in a row.

"Sister, you are awesome. The flowers you planted are so beautiful. Are your hands tired?"

Since getting married, Xu Qingyue no longer let him call her princess because he was younger than her, so she asked her to call her sister.

The two of them no longer had the distance between them as before and became much closer. Yan Yan was also very nice to her. To outsiders, they seemed the closest thing to each other. However, only people within the mansion knew that the general and the princess did not sleep together.

Yan Yan took Xu Qingyue's hand and looked at her red palm. He felt so distressed that he asked the doctor to prescribe medicine immediately.

Xu Qingyue also frowned.

"I haven't practiced martial arts for just a few months, and you've become so squeamish?"

"This won't work, little Taoist priest. I will go to your camp for training tomorrow."

Yan Yan would never refuse her words, but he still tried to test her:

"Why don't you wait until your hand is healed before going."

Xu Qingyue pulled her hand back, put her hands on her hips, and stamped her feet, showing a bit of the temperament of a willful princess.

"No, I'm going tomorrow!"

Yan Yan had no choice but to make the arrangements, and at the same time packed up the zither and threw it into the military camp.

When Xu Qingyue and Qinse first entered the military camp, everyone thought they were looking for Yan Yan, so they kindly showed them the way.

"Your Highness, General Yan is training his troops."

Xu Qingyue nodded and said to the soldier leading the way:

"Are there any soldiers taking a break?"

The soldier replied:

"Reporting to the princess, the soldiers led by General Wei are now resting."

"Okay, take me there."

The soldier was stunned. Huh? General Wei? Aren't you here to see the General of the Cavalry?

But he still obediently led the princess to General Wei's training ground.

As soon as General Wei saw Xu Qingyue, he knew why she came. He had heard about it from Yan Yan early in the morning. In his opinion, Yan Yan doted on the princess too much and would never allow a woman to come for training.

Although he had heard of Her Royal Highness the Princess competing in martial arts before, he felt that it was just a gift from those sycophantic people in the capital to the royal family. What ability could a woman have?

"See Your Highness the Princess."

"No need to be polite, soldiers."

Xu Qingyue wore casual clothes today to facilitate training. She turned and looked at General Wei.

"I am sorry to bother you today, General."

General Wei waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't dare."

After that, General Wei pointed to the weakest soldier and ordered:

"You! Take the princess out for some exercise and be careful with her precious body. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"

Just as the soldier was about to take action, he was stopped by Xu Qingyue, who looked at General Wei.

"General, you may have misunderstood. Today, I am here to challenge your battalion."

"Princess, this is not good."

"No problem. You can challenge my maid one-on-one first. The one who beats her can come and fight me."

"Fair fight, stop when it's enough."

General Wei's repeated attempts to dissuade them failed, so he had no choice but to give the order. He thought it would be a good idea to teach these two ignorant women a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the first soldier who came on the stage was kicked off the stage by Qinse in just two breaths.

The soldier held his stomach and said unconvincedly:

"You won unfairly. I'm not ready yet."

Qinse hooked her finger at him.

"Then I'll give you another chance."

This time the soldier did not underestimate the enemy. He moved his shoulders, got into a horse stance, and shouted fiercely:

"Come on! Ah~"

This time it was even faster and he was kicked away in a moment.

The audience burst into laughter.

Some people are still laughing at the soldier.

"Can you do it? You were kicked away by a woman."

So this soldier was chosen to go on stage luckily. He did not let his guard down, but he did not think Qinse had much ability.

So, this brother held on a little longer, and after five moves he also flew off the stage.

The soldiers were in an uproar. They knew the man's skills, and no one in the audience underestimated the enemy.
