My Princess Has Been Reborn

After playing outside with Qi Yang all day, and then sending him to the palace gate, when Lu Qipei returned to Lu Mansion, it was almost dark.

There are two lanterns hanging outside the unattractive gate, and there are dim lights falling down, casting only a faint halo, illuminating everything hazyly, but revealing an inexplicable warmth.

Since A Yu's death, Lu Qipei no longer has anyone around to take care of him, and he always likes to be alone when he goes out.At this moment, she came back with brisk steps, and knocked on the door knocker by herself when she reached the gate.

The sound of "kuang kuang" was heard far away in the night, and the door was quickly opened from the inside.

Lu Qipei was about to go in, when he raised his eyes inadvertently, but was surprised to find that the person who opened the door for her was not the concierge - the person who opened the door was Qi Bo, and every time Qi Bo waited for her at the gate, he always had something to do, and most likely not Good thing!

With this kind of cognition, the moment he saw Qi Bo, Lu Qipei's originally good mood suddenly sank.

Qi Bo opened the door, invited Lu Qipei in, closed the door himself, and walked into the mansion with Lu Qipei.He was two steps behind Lu Qipei, before he reached the front of the hall, he opened his mouth: "Master, you seem to be in a good mood today?"

Hearing this, Lu Qipei kept walking, but he pursed his lips slightly, and replied: "It's okay." It's not good just seeing you.

Qi Bo didn't seem to care about her answer, and he continued on his own: "Young Master must have seen the book in the study. Your marriage with Princess Qi Yang is not far away. I hope you will think twice about where to go."

Lu Qipei finally stopped when she heard this. She turned her head to look at Qi Bo, her pure black eyes were full of sarcasm: "What does Qi Bo mean by this? You also have a share in the marriage between me and the princess." Credit? Regret it now, and want me to renege on the marriage?"

Qi Bo was taken aback by what he said, but then he felt joy in his heart - he guessed right, Lu Qipei has always been a smart person, as long as she is given a few clues, she can piece together the truth of the matter.But now that she can say such a thing, it is obvious that she has already guessed something, and she is quite confident.

It doesn't matter if you guess it, you can be scruples if you guess it, and you can restrain yourself if you guess it.

Qi Bo thought like this, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He replied calmly: "The marriage was granted by the imperial decree, and repenting of the marriage and resisting the decree is a serious crime. The old slave dare not think like this, let alone burden the young master."

Lu Qipei was noncommittal to his words, turned around and walked forward, as if he didn't want to continue this topic.

Seeing this, Qi Bo couldn't help frowning.He wanted Lu Qipei to take advantage of Princess Qi Yang, and after watching the two get along, he also vaguely noticed the ambiguity between the two.But for Qi Bo, he doesn't really believe how deep the friendship between the two women can be, let alone the natural opposing positions between the two.

In Qi Bo's mind, Lu Qipei is a smart person, and when she understands her status and situation, she will definitely learn to restrain herself.And even if she can't learn to restrain herself, she will at least have a grudge when thinking of the identities and positions of the two of them.

In this way, things are kept within a controllable range.

But now it seems that things are far beyond his control, and Lu Qipei's attitude towards Qi Yang is not what he thought at all... If she is trapped in the love of her children, what will they do?There is no other young master who may let them choose!

When Qi Bo thought of this, his heart sank a little.Fortunately, at this moment, the young man who was walking in front suddenly spoke, with a cool voice: "I know what Qi Bo is worried about, but I have my own sense of proportion, and your worries are unnecessary."

Lu Qipei seldom talked to Qibo like this, she was gentle, completely different from Lu Qicheng's sharp-edged.It should be said that such a young master is better for the old servant who has been in power for many years, but at this moment when Qi Bo heard Lu Qipei say this, he didn't feel angry at being offended, but he was relieved and slightly relieved.

Of course, if Qi Bo knew Lu Qipei's so-called sense of propriety, he would have no sense of propriety when facing Qi Yang.The so-called secrecy means that there is no secret in front of Qi Yang.I'm afraid I can vomit blood on the spot.

But fortunately, he didn't know, so in the end he watched Lu Qipei leave with gratified eyes.

Qi Bo's reminder seemed to be a prelude. After that, the calm was gone for a while, and the atmosphere in the whole capital suddenly became tense.

The reason was that one morning at the end of September, a battle report came in a hurry from the Northland.The messenger who delivered the letter had a white cloth tied on his head, which made people have a bad feeling. In fact, he brought a shocking news—General Ji, who had been guarding northern Xinjiang for decades, died in battle!

Now the battle in northern Xinjiang involves nearly a million soldiers, Liang and Rong each occupy half of the game, and Liang Guo's army is undoubtedly led by General Ji who has guarded northern Xinjiang for many years.As the coach, he is in charge of the battle situation, and nearly 50 Liang troops are at his disposal.But now that the coach is dead, let alone the blow to morale, what is more important is who will take over and dispatch the 50 soldiers and horses?

It's not that the Ji family has no successors. If General Ji dies normally, the heirs he has trained can take over the power of his subordinates smoothly.But the situation is different now. In addition to the original 20 soldiers and horses in northern Xinjiang, the emperor successively dispatched nearly 30 soldiers and horses to the border after the war. These 30 soldiers and horses originally had their own commanders. .

General Ji had a high prestige in the army. Even if the reinforcements came scattered, he was able to arrange them properly and dispatch them like his fingers.But it's different if it's another person. The younger generation of Ji's family doesn't have the means of prestige like him.

In addition, General Ji died suddenly, and there was no government order to appoint a new commander in chief, so the command of the northern border war situation suddenly became chaotic.

The prince's face turned dark after reading the battle report sent later, and his sword eyebrows were frowned tightly: "The third brother is in the northern border at this time, and he is the prince and the supervisor of the army. If he stands up to lead the situation, it should be Those who can suppress people..."

It wasn't that the crown prince deliberately spoke bad things about him in front of the emperor while the third prince was away, but what he said was all the truth.If he is not the third prince but him who is going to supervise the army in northern Xinjiang this time, he will definitely stand up immediately, even if he knows nothing about military affairs, sitting in the commander-in-chief position can calm down the army's heart, and then he will listen to it Remonstrance is waiting for the new appointment of the court.

Of course the emperor understood this truth better, so his face would only be darker than the prince's.He didn't even wait for the prince to finish speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, that coward, what else can I expect from him?!"

The prince was silent for a moment when he heard the words, but still bowed and begged for orders: "Father, my son, please go to the northern border."

The latest battle report from Northern Xinjiang has not been sent back, but as far as the previous situation is concerned, it is really not good.The generals did their own thing, and the soldiers went on a rampage. In just a few days, they lost two more cities, and even the situation that General Ji had managed to stabilize before was ruined.

At this time, it is no longer enough to send a general in command to the northern border at will, but more importantly, there must be a person with sufficient status to calm the hearts of the army.The so-called royal conquest is the most useful means at this time.It is conceivable that the emperor would not go to northern Xinjiang, so taking a step back, it is the best choice for the prince, the prince, to go to northern Xinjiang to stabilize the morale of the army.

But the emperor hesitated when he heard the prince's plea, and said after a long while: "This is not urgent, let the commander discuss it first."

The emperor obviously valued the prince much more than the third prince, so that under such a situation, he still didn't want him to risk his life.But no matter how the high-ranking people in the palace made decisions, when the news of the death of General Ji spread throughout the capital, panic spread.

In the late autumn at the end of September, the weather was already turning cold, and the autumn rains for several days in a row made the sky dark and hazy, just like the mood of everyone in Beijing at the moment, making people feel depressing at a glance.

Lu Qipei stood on the porch with his hands behind his back, looked up at the drizzle falling outside, and finally couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Even General Ji was killed in battle, does he really want to lead the Rongdi soldiers to the capital..."

The autumn rain fell, knocking her murmuring voice down in the wind and rain, and no one else heard it except herself.

On the other side of the palace, Qi Yang rushed to the East Palace despite the autumn rain.As soon as he entered the gate of the front hall, he hurried up to the prince without caring about the wetness of his skirt, and asked, "I heard, brother emperor, you want to ask for orders to go to northern Xinjiang?"

The crown prince raised his head from the official document, facing Qi Yang with a rare frown and seriousness: "I don't need the imperial sister to ask about this matter."

Seeing him like this, Qi Yang knew that his trip to the northern border could not be changed.But looking at the worried but still high-spirited prince in front of her, and thinking about the crippled man in her memory, how could she remain unmoved?

Raising his hand and grabbing the prince's sleeve, Qi Yang rarely leaked his emotions: "Brother Emperor, the battlefield is dangerous, why don't you go?"

The prince met her gaze, and his stern and hard face softened a bit after all, but the decision he made was undeniable: "No." After answering firmly, he said again: "Northern Xinjiang needs someone to stabilize the morale of the army. Father can't go, so he can only go alone."

Qi Yang fell silent when he heard the words, and suddenly felt powerless.

But immediately, this powerlessness turned into resentment, resentment towards Xie Yuan, the chief culprit of the current situation.

Seeing her biting her lip and saying nothing, the prince couldn't hold on to her final coldness.He raised his hand and touched Qi Yang's head like when he was a child, and comforted her in a soft tone: "Just stay behind to stabilize the morale of the army, there will be no danger, don't worry."

Qi Yang wanted to say, in your previous life, you just went to Northern Xinjiang for a cutscene, and you came back with a limp in the end.The current situation in Northern Xinjiang is not comparable to that of previous lives. Do you have to leave your life in Northern Xinjiang? !

However, Qi Yang couldn't say these words, and she couldn't even accuse the prince of going to a dangerous place regardless of his own safety.So in the end she just bit her lips tightly, and said: "Brother Huang, go here and bring more guards. Especially on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and the hidden guards have no time to stop the rescue. It is better to use personal guards."

Hearing her exhortation, the prince finally couldn't help laughing: "Understood, just relax."

After laughing, he thought of something, and the prince took out a wooden box from the hidden compartment at the side and handed it to Qi Yang: "Your wedding is coming soon, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to go here in time to marry you, so I will give you the congratulatory gift first."
