Chapter 66 Maybe this is his retribution!
He returned to General Weiyuan's mansion with a gloomy look on his face. General Weiyuan, who was already heartbroken about the loss of many treasures, sent people to the warehouse to get things, and he also called his wife, who had a strong temper.
After much trouble, he managed to convince his wife that he had no debts and no mistresses, and that he only wanted to present these treasures to the fifth princess to appease the resentment of Emperor Xuanwu and the princess.
General Weiyuan returned to the palace, only to find that the study was late again.
To be precise, it was the Fifth Princess who was late for the class.
Because Master Ye wanted to see her about something.
General Weiyuan: “…”
He was just standing in the eldest prince's camp and slightly delayed the time for the fifth princess to be conferred the title. It was not a crime that would wrath upon God and man!
As for that! !
I sat outside the study room in a cowardly manner and waited for two incense sticks.
After waiting for a long time, Yun Shu finally came out. At this moment, General Weiyuan was so excited that he even forgot that he was still sitting on the steps behind the pillar.
Turn around and pounce:
"Your Highness, wait!"
"Who?!"
Yun Shu had just come out of the study room and took two steps without any precautions. Suddenly, she saw a half-man-high black shadow suddenly appear. She was so startled that she subconsciously raised her foot and kicked:
"Someone is coming!!"
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"Your Highness!"
Hearing Yun Shu's exclamation, Ye Qing'an, who was still in the room, and Tingxue, who was waiting for her to come out for dinner, immediately ran over.
Then I saw a tall and burly bearded man lying on the ground with his face covered with blood from his nose.
As for Yun Shu, he squatted beside her with a guilty look on his face, and cautiously stretched out his finger and poked the man twice:
"Are you okay?"
"General Weiyuan?"
Ye Qingan recognized the bearded man's identity and was shocked:
"What's going on?"
"Neither do I……"
Yun Shu was about to say that she didn't know much either, but she suddenly stopped talking:
"You just said he was General Weiyuan?"
"General Weiyuan, Lu Jingkun."
Ye Qingan nodded.
"Any questions?"
Yun Shu: “No…”
Great General Weiyuan!
Isn’t this the big prince’s party that was killed by the prince in the original book?
Speaking of which, she had taken so much trouble to set traps all over the autumn hunt, not only to save the prince, but more importantly, General Weiyuan, who caused a series of unfavorable events to Tiansheng after his death.
However, it is impossible for General Weiyuan himself to know about this!
How did he suddenly appear in this place?
And he seemed to have called her just now? ?
"General Lu."
Yun Shu reached out and poked him twice again:
"Do you... need me to call a doctor for you?"
“…No need to bother.”
Lu Jingkun wiped the blood from his nose sadly.
This is all retribution!
He slowly got up, picked up the bag of treasures that he had put aside earlier, and handed it to Yun Shu.
Lu Jingkun tore off his sleeves and stuffed his nose with them, and said in a muffled voice:
"These are my apology and thank you gifts to the princess."
"Apology and thank you?"
Yun Shu unwrapped the package and was dazzled by the two huge gems on the golden hairpin at first sight.
Then there was a moment of uneasiness——
How much wrong must this person have done to her to deserve such an expensive gift of apology?
Lu Jingkun continued in a muffled voice:
"I heard that the princess knew that many horses in the army had to retire early every year due to worn hoofs. She felt very sad. So she spent a lot of effort and concentrated on research, and finally made a magical item like horseshoes. As a military commander, I am extremely grateful to Your Highness."
Yun Shu: “?”
Didn’t she say yesterday that she would give this credit to her grandfather?
It would be fine if my grandfather didn't want her, but why did he help her brag?
When did she feel so sorry for it and spend so much time and effort on research?
She didn't dare to respond!
The hand holding the small package silently stretched forward. Yun Shu, who felt guilty after being praised, was just about to return it when he felt that the thing was a little hot.
Then I heard Lu Jingkun continue:
"Your Majesty originally intended to allocate a fief to Your Highness today, with a fief of several thousand households.
But I thought that there were still 10,000 retired war horses in Beixiang that I hadn’t gotten yet, so I spoke out to stop them.”
Yun Shu: “…”
Oh, so her source of income was cut off, so she brought these things to make up for it.
No wonder!
He stretched out his hand a little and then decisively withdrew it.
Lu Jingkun, who didn't notice her little movements, continued to speak:
“Although I have temporarily stopped this matter, I also know that with your ability, you will be awarded a title sooner or later.
Because His Highness's ability is indeed obvious to all!
I came here today, not only to express my gratitude and to apologize, but also to hope that Your Highness could learn more about military affairs and create more magical objects like horseshoes that can help the army in times of crisis!"
"General Lu overestimates me!"
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, she ended up with another person who came to her for a job.
Yun Shu refused without even thinking:
"I was just lucky to have found the horseshoe by accident. I can't help you with anything else!"
"Your Highness, you haven't even heard what I said yet, how do you know that I can't help?"
In order to meet Yun Shu and talk about this, Lu Jingkun gave away treasures and got kicked.
After all the effort, he definitely doesn't want to just give up.
Seeing Yun Shu walking towards the dining hall, he quickly followed beside her, chattering about the current situation in the army:
“Your Highness, you may not know that since you have never been to a military camp, not only are the horses easily injured, the weapons are also easily injured, and the people are even more easily injured!
Over here...
...In addition, various weather problems are also a big trouble.
Spring and autumn are fine, but in summer, if someone gets hurt, the wound will fester easily.
As for winter, it was even more difficult. If the soldiers wore too much, they would be unable to move flexibly. If they wore too little, they would shiver with cold…
Oh, and…”
Yun Shu: “…”
There are so many problems in the army. Is it reasonable for him to rely on a thirteen-year-old princess for all of them?
Isn’t he from the Crown Prince’s camp?
Go find the eldest prince!
I ate my lunch expressionlessly while listening to General Weiyuan chanting in a strange outfit.
For the first time in his life, Yun Shu hoped that the break would end soon.
She just wanted to sit in the study and listen to Master Ye’s lectures.
"…Your Highness, have you remembered everything I said?"
Yun Shu: “…”
Lu Jingkun insisted: "Your Highness?"
Yun Shu: "Hmm..."
So stop reading it!
The devilish sound was ringing in her ears, and she almost heard the echo of Lu Jingkun in her mind! !
