He Yan still remembered that at that time on the hunting grounds, they were all teenagers. When they suddenly saw such a beautiful young girl, they were naturally attracted to her. It seemed to be Lin Shuanghe. He even said, "Such a beautiful girl. If I say that she is worthy of being the number one beauty in Shuo City, no one would object, right?"
"No objection, no objection!"
"I didn't think that with Imperial Censor Shen's bad temper, his daughter would be so beautiful."
Imperial Censor Shen was an upright and sharp person. He dared to speak frankly in front of Emperor Wen Xuan. Normally, he was very strict. If anyone in the court made a slight mistake, he would report it. However, when the previous Emperor was alive, he had praised Imperial Censor Shen for his Da Wei character. The current Empress Dowager also liked him very much. His position was stable and could not be shaken. His colleagues in the court could only stay away from him. The more his colleagues isolated Imperial Censor Shen, the more Emperor Wen Xuan felt that Imperial Censor Shen was pitiful and upright. He was a clear stream among the officials, so he was especially tolerant of him.
With such a bad temper as Shi Tou as a father, his daughter was born with a completely different beauty. If an old man was not easy to get close to, his temper would be strange and harsh. If an elegant girl was not easy to get close to, it would be cold and otherworldly.
He Yan still remembered that although Shen Muxue was a girl and was not very old at the time, when the hunting ended and the Xiao Jue came out to receive the Emperor's reward, the cloak fell to the ground. Originally, it should have been picked up by one of his servants, but that fairy-like Eldest Young Miss Shen walked forward herself, held the cloak, and handed it to Xiao Jue on the horse.
The group of teenagers was shocked. Someone said sourly, "It's over, it's over. We were talking excitedly here, but this girl took a fancy to brother Huaijin."
"Why does this girl like brother Huaijin so much? At least leave us some face. "
Lin Shuanghe waved his fan and sighed, "Naturally, it's because this Eldest Miss Shen is also someone who looks at faces."
He Yan also followed the crowd's gaze and saw that the young man on the horse was unruly and dissolute, while the lady below the horse was reserved and elegant. Just based on their appearance alone, they could be called an immortal couple. They were very compatible.
She silently lowered her head and looked at her empty hands that had not caught a single prey. She sighed silently in her heart. Outstanding people should be together with outstanding people. The only thing she could do was to stand far away and watch others in high spirits.
"Brother He?" Chu Zhao's voice pulled He Yan back from his thoughts.
He Yan regained his senses and asked, "But Miss Shen came all the way to Liangzhou. Will Censor Shen agree?"
Imperial Censor Shen only had one son and one daughter. Compared to his strictness towards his eldest son, he was much more doting towards his youngest daughter. Shen Muxue looked well-behaved and well-mannered. Although He Yan did not think that it was an unforgivable sin for a woman to go to the military camp, in the eyes of most people, it was a betrayal. As an imperial censor, how could Censor Shen allow his daughter to act so recklessly?
"Miss Shen is determined to leave. Censor Shen can't change her mind. Besides, "Chu Zhao smiled," Speaking of which, when General Xiao was still alive, he had a close relationship with the Shen family. Censor Shen and General Xiao were good friends. After the Xiao family's incident, Censor Shen also helped a lot. Military Governor Xiao is young and promising. Censor Shen trusts him, and … "He paused," I'm afraid that he also has some thoughts of becoming in-laws with the Xiao family. "
He Yan's heart skipped a beat and unconsciously retorted, "How is that possible?"
Chu Zhao looked at her as if he didn't understand He Yan's reaction, "Why is it impossible?"
"… The Governor usually doesn't get close to women," He Yan pretended to be indifferent, "He only cares about military affairs. From what I see, he doesn't have much contact with Shen Muxue. "
Xiao Jue was cold to everyone, and she never treated Shen Muxue well.
"A He, you're a girl," Chu Zhao smiled, "You don't understand men's thoughts. If there's such an excellent and gentle girl who doesn't say anything every day and silently accompanies him on his campaigns, even a cold-hearted person will be moved. Being moved will turn into pity, pity will turn into love. Since Governor Xiao didn't chase her away, it was because he felt pity for her. "
He Yan pursed her lips and didn't speak. She only felt that Chu Zhao's words were not pleasant to hear.
"If it were you, would you also change from pity to love?" He Yan asked.
Chu Zhao froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."
"Then why wouldn't you?"
Chu Zhao looked at her, a trace of a smile in his eyes, "I don't like gentle girls."
"I like girls who are lively and lively."
He Yan glanced at him and didn't speak. It was hard to imagine that such a gentle and quiet person like Chu Zhao would actually like lively and lively girls.
The room was right in front of them. Chu Zhao smiled, "I'll leave you here. Rest early tonight, you still have day training tomorrow. "
He Yan nodded, thanked him, and entered the room.
The door was closed today. He didn't know if Xiao Jue was asleep or not. If it were any other day, He Yan would probably knock on the door and pick the lock to say a few words. However, today, she wasn't in the mood. After washing up, she lay on the bed and thought about what Chu Zhao said just now. She couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Xiao Jue and Shen Muxue?
She didn't think so at first, but after hearing what Chu Zhao said tonight, she suddenly realized that there were some things she had overlooked. Why was there only one female doctor in the Liang Province Guard, Shen Muxue? She had heard Shen Han call Shen Muxue "Miss Shen." Those military instructors were not only grateful to Shen Muxue, but also respected her. So it was because of this.
Imperial Censor Shen's daughter, General Xiao's son. Their family backgrounds were similar, their appearances were similar, and even their fathers were good friends.
He Yan turned over and faced the wall. He thought bitterly that they really were a good match.
The next day, it was day training again.
With the experience of the first day, he was much more familiar on the second day. The day training in the Nan Fu Army didn't have a two-person unit. Since there were no battles, it was peaceful. In addition, the Nan Fu Army mostly trained in troop formations. He Yan was already familiar with troop formations. He could keep up with the changes in troop formations and never be a burden. This made Tian Lang feel a little surprised.
"How is it?" Shen Han looked at He Yan in the troop formation and asked Tian Lang, "Is this kid okay?" Although He Yan was now a member of the Nan Fu Army, he was still a member of the Liang Province Guard. Shen Han was very concerned about him. Moreover, this kid had a close relationship with Xiao Jue. Shen Han thought that he should always pay attention to He Yan.
Tian Lang said, "His aptitude isn't bad."
Shen Han was amused. When He Yan had just arrived at the Liang Province Guard, Xiao Jue had personally judged him to be lacking in aptitude. At that time, none of the military instructors thought highly of He Yan. They thought that He Yan would be forced to be a vanguard soldier sooner or later. They didn't expect that He Yan would go the furthest now. As expected, no one could say for sure what happened on the battlefield.
The other military instructors also came over. Currently, the recruits of the Liang Province Guard were resting. The Nan Fu Army didn't have much time to rest, so they came over to see how He Yan was adapting.
"He didn't embarrass the Liang Province Guard!" Liang Ping was very proud. He even pretended to be modest as he said, "Deputy Chief Tian, please teach this kid more in the future! Don't worry about our reputation. Teach him a lesson when you need to! "
Tian Lang was speechless.
Ma Damei smiled and said, "Deputy Chief Tian, this young man learns very quickly. It's not that the Liang Province Guard is boasting. If you teach him more, he'll definitely surprise you often in the future. "
Tian Lang was speechless. To him, He Yan was just a recruit with decent aptitude who happened to be trusted by Xiao Jue. However, in terms of skill, there were too many outstanding people in the Nan Fu Army. There was no need to mention the Nine Flags Battalion. It was just that the Liang Province Guard was located in a remote area. It wasn't easy for them to find someone like this. They worshipped him like a Bodhisattva. Their foresight was still limited.
While they were talking, a woman in a moon-white dress walked over from afar. There was only one woman in the Liang Province Guard. Everyone greeted her, "Miss Shen."
Shen Muxue walked over.
She put down the basket in her hands and said, "I picked some medicinal herbs. I've already washed and dried them. I'll have to trouble the military instructors to boil these herbs into a medicinal concoction. It's the turn of spring and summer, so each soldier can drink a spoonful to ward off the cold. "
Shen Han hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Shen." He turned around and ordered someone to take the basket away. He immediately went to boil the medicinal concoction.
Shen Muxue wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, she looked at the soldiers who were training below the training field. Her gaze fell on the small and thin figure in the group.
He Yan was mixed in with them. Although he wasn't very eye-catching, it was impossible for people to ignore him. In the past few years, she had followed Xiao Jue to many different places and met many different people. There were so many recruits coming and going, but only this one left a deep impression on her. Like the nimble wind, he was completely different from the people around him.
That box of hand ointment … it was clearly just a box of ordinary ointment. She rarely liked things, so showing her desire was just a matter of convenience for Xiao Jue. However, Xiao Jue stopped her. Not long after, she found this ointment in He Yan's hands.
Xiao Jue rejected her because of He Yan?
For a very capable youth who might become a trusted aide in the future, it was natural for her to take care of him a little more. Shen Muxue understood. However, even if Xiao Jue trusted her trusted aides, Chi Wu and Fei Nu, she wouldn't be so meticulous. It was as if … as if she was treating a girl. Thinking about it this way, Shen Muxue felt that Xiao Jue treated He Yan a little too well. This was obviously Cheng Lisu's house. After Cheng Lisu left, He Yan didn't move out. For a recruit to live next to the Right Army's commander-in-chief, it was a little strange. Towards He Yan, Xiao Jue didn't show any signs of rejection. She even acquiesced to many of his actions.
It was this little bit of indulgence that made Shen Muxue feel uneasy.
It was probably because a woman's mind was very meticulous and her intuition was very accurate. This time, after Xiao Jue and He Yan came back, Shen Muxue felt that something was wrong.
She didn't want to leave now and wanted to stay in the martial arts arena for a little longer. She said, "I boiled some in advance. You can drink it first. The medicine barrel is not far away. I'll have to trouble the instructors to find a young man to come with me to get it. "
Shen Han said, "It's not worth Miss Shen's trouble. I'll go with you." After he finished speaking, he informed everyone and walked away with Shen Muxue.
Looking at Shen Muxue's departing figure, Liang Ping sighed, "Miss Shen is so kind and beautiful. How can there be such a perfect woman in the world? If I can marry her, even if I die, it'll be worth it. "
"I think you're dreaming." On the other side, an instructor heard this and mocked him, "Miss Shen is someone an ordinary person like you can dream of. You have to know that there are so many talented young men in the imperial court who don't even look at them. Why would she look at a small instructor like you? "
"Instructor, what's wrong?" Liang Ping was unconvinced, "Since Miss Shen is willing to put down her status and come to a place like Liangzhou, she doesn't look down on us rough people and even boiled medicine for us to drink. It's obvious that she doesn't mind the poor and loves the rich. She's a noble and kind person. This kind of person only looks at people's character." He muttered in a low voice, "My character is very good. What if I …..?"
Ma Damei couldn't listen anymore, "She didn't put down her status for you."
"That's right, Old Shen. She did it for Military Governor Xiao. What do you have to compare yourself with Military Governor Xiao? Are you as handsome as Military Governor Xiao? Are you as good as Military Governor Xiao in martial arts? Or do you have a family background, talent, elegance, and strategy? You're not as good as her in every aspect, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly here. If I, Miss Shen, heard your impudent words, I would've already asked my servants to beat you to death with a stick to save you from ruining her reputation. "
Liang Ping, "….. Are you still my brothers?"
As he spoke, he heard a piercing voice, "Instructor!"
Everyone looked over and saw that the Nan Fu soldiers were resting. He Yan immediately saw the instructors standing on the stage and came over to greet them. Perhaps it was because he wasn't considered a member of the Liang Province Guards anymore and his superior had become Tian Lang, so He Yan treated his former instructors more like friends. She flipped onto the stage and walked to the center of the crowd. She greeted them one by one, then asked with a smile, "What were you guys talking about just now? It's so lively."
"We were talking about a toad among us, fantasizing about eating swan meat." One of the instructors giggled as he replied.
He Yan asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"We were talking about Doctor Shen," Ma Damei explained with a smile, "We were saying that Doctor Shen's status is noble, her character is noble, and everyone loves her."
He Yan was startled. Then, someone who didn't know the difference between life and death came closer and said mysteriously to He Yan, "Brother He, do you know what Doctor Shen's background is?"
If this was before last night, He Yan would've been surprised. However, after learning about Shen Muxue's identity from Chu Zhao, he didn't find it strange anymore. That person wasn't someone who could keep secrets. Before He Yan could speak, he said, "Doctor Shen is the current young miss of the Imperial Censor's residence! If it wasn't for Military Governor Xiao, why would someone of such noble status travel thousands of miles? If I had such a beautiful person to treat me like this, I would definitely only treat her well in my entire life! "
He Yan wondered if she had been fighting with the name Shen Muxue recently. One by one, why did they all line up to stab her in the heart?
"What you're saying isn't reliable," Liang Ping refused to admit defeat and stubbornly insisted, "If Military Governor Xiao really likes Miss Shen, why hasn't he said anything until now? I'm a man, I know best. If a man likes a woman, it's impossible for him to hide it. If he can hide it, he won't like her that much. The world is so big, why would Miss Shen hang herself on one tree? It's better to open your eyes wide and look at the people around you. Who knows, maybe fate is right next to you. "
"Liang Ping, you're really sick, and seriously sick. I think Doctor Shen should give you some medicine to look at your eyes. What's wrong with your brain? How can you say such shameless things? "
Everyone was making a ruckus. Tian Lang quietly took a step to the side. He didn't want to participate in the gossip about his superior. If he was caught, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
He Yan also wanted to slip away. He didn't want to listen to these heart-wrenching words, but the crowd refused to let her go. One of the instructors patted her shoulder and said, "Brother He, why aren't you saying anything? You're also one of us. Why don't you say something? Isn't Doctor Shen and Military Governor Xiao a match made in heaven? Isn't Old Shen overestimating herself? "
He Yan: "…"
Everyone looked at her eagerly, as if this comment of hers was very important.
He Yan braced herself. Her heart was full of unwillingness, and she forced a smile and said, "… Yes, Miss Shen is a socialite and beautiful, as dazzling as the spring. Military Governor Xiao is like jade and gold, handsome and handsome. They're a match made in heaven. "
As soon as she said that, she felt so wronged that it almost overflowed. She thought to herself, who did she offend? It's fine if other people poke at her heart, but she still had to poke at herself.
"What about their identities? Aren't their identities very compatible? "
He Yan: "… Yes, the Commander in Chief of the Right Corps and Miss Censor are people of the same world. They have nothing to do with us. "
"Brother He, you're now very trusted by the Commander in Chief. Who knows, when the Commander in Chief gets married, he might even invite you to attend the ceremony. This is something worth celebrating. Shouldn't you start saving money now and prepare a wedding gift? "
He Yan firmly painted the face of the person who spoke in his mind. He gritted his teeth in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and indifferent. "Of course. This is a good thing worth celebrating. It's necessary to prepare a big gift."
Everyone roared with laughter and actually started to give He Yan suggestions. When Xiao Jue and Shen Muxue got married, what should they prepare as a gift. Unexpectedly, no one noticed He Yan's stiff expression.
"Are you all very free?" A cold voice sounded behind them.
Everyone turned around to look. Unknowingly, Xiao Jue had arrived. Behind her was Shen Muxue and Shen Han, who was carrying a medicine bucket.
Knowing that they were caught gossiping about their superior's private affairs, everyone was so scared that they kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to say a word. They still had a trace of hope in their hearts that Xiao Jue probably did not hear much. Otherwise, based on his temperament, he would have stopped them the moment he heard it. Now that he said it, it was possible that he had just arrived.
Xiao Jue walked forward. His dark blue brocade robe accentuated his jade-like complexion, his appearance as handsome as the moon. However, his voice was also cold. Although his words were directed at the crowd, his eyes were fixed on He Yan, his gaze as sharp and deep as a blade.
"You all have the time to gossip here? I see that you all are doing very well in your daily training?"
The instructors immediately turned into quails. No one dared to speak. Tian Lang's heart was greatly comforted. Fortunately, he was discerning and did not associate himself with this group of motley crew. See, didn't he get caught? Immediately, he stood even straighter proudly, showing that he was different from the others.
Shen Han was also complaining incessantly in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Liang Ping and Shen Muxue to go get the medicine bucket together. When he and Shen Muxue came back, they saw Xiao Jue walking towards the martial arts arena. The three of them came together. When they arrived, they saw everyone asking He Yan if Xiao Jue and Shen Muxue were compatible.
The person who asked this question was definitely harboring evil intentions! How could they ask He Yan to answer this kind of question? Wasn't this stabbing a knife into his heart? Before he could see clearly which genius asked this question, he heard He Yan's answer without hesitation.
"… Yes, Miss Shen is a socialite and beautiful. She is as dazzling as the spring. Military Governor Xiao is as beautiful as jade and as handsome as gold. They are a match made in heaven. "
Shen Han could immediately feel the chilliness emanating from the people around him. He carefully sneaked a glance at Xiao Jue. His expression was ugly, as if his wife had been snatched away.
Shen Han beat his chest and stamped his feet in his heart. Why did he always have to encounter such embarrassing situations? He had been honest and cautious all his life and had never done anything bad. Why was it so difficult?
He Yan looked at Xiao Jue. The young military governor was looking at him expressionlessly. A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth. "As a recruit, you are hanging out with the instructor. Since you are so energetic, it seems like your daily training is not enough. "
He turned to Tian Lang and said indifferently, "He Yan's daily training can be doubled."
Tian Lang: "… Yes."
Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Why aren't you going?"
He Yan looked at him and said, "Yes." He turned and jumped off the stage and walked towards the group.
She could feel that Xiao Jue was dissatisfied with her. But … shouldn't she be the one who was angrier? He Yan joined the group and picked up his spear again. His gaze fell on the figure on the stage. Shen Muxue stood beside him. The jade-like beauty was a match made in heaven.
He Yan lowered his head.
The instructors present were all punished one by one and left dejectedly. Before they left, they were warned that if anyone dared to speak nonsense in the Liang Province Guard, they would pack up their bags and go back home.
Tian Lang had already used the excuse of having to drill the troop formation to slip away. Only Shen Han and Shen Muxue, who wished they could become decorations, were left on the training field.
Shen Muxue stood behind Xiao Jue and looked at his tall and straight back. An indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.
Just now, she and Shen Han had walked here and heard that someone had brought her and Xiao Jue together to talk. Other than feeling embarrassed and angry, she was actually happy.
She liked hearing these things. She liked hearing her name and Xiao Jue's name being tied together. It was as if this could prove her relationship with Xiao Jue. It also hinted that she was a special person to Xiao Jue. So when she heard He Yan say this, Shen Muxue was very happy.
But when she raised her head and saw Xiao Jue's cold gaze, she was stunned.
She didn't dare to say that she completely understood Xiao Jue, but she still understood this man's emotions. He didn't like to hear people say this. It was completely different from how happy he was. Xiao Jue was even a little angry.
Why would someone be angry when they heard this? There was only one reason. The person who heard it didn't like him at all.
Xiao Jue didn't like him.
Shen Muxue's expression darkened. In his sadness, there was also some doubt. If he didn't like it, he could ignore it. But this kind of anger was still a little unexpected. Xiao Jue was a person who didn't show his emotions. He didn't care about many things.
He cared a lot. Why?
