Seeing Han Yunxi's curiosity, Long Fei Ye's smile deepened. Long Fei Ye placed all the military tokens into the brocade box, then handed it to Han Yunxi. "You!"
"Me?" Han Yunxi hadn't recovered from the shock yet and only caught the box reflexively.
"I was planning to wait two or three years until Northern Li had stabilized before handing over military affairs to you. Now it looks like I can give it to you." Long Fei Ye smiled.
Only then did Han Yunxi realize that Long Feiye had been planning to give her the command medallion!
"Me?"
It had to be said that Han Yunxi was both surprised and nervous. Military affairs were the greatest guarantee of a country's stability!
"What are you afraid of?" Long Fei Ye arched a brow.
"Aren't you afraid that Baili Yuanlong will come to bother you every day?" Han Yunxi countered. They'd just found a suitable way to deal with Northern Li, but Long Fei Ye was simply stirring up trouble.
If news of this got out, wouldn't all of Cloud Realm Continent explode?
Baili Yuanlong had been in charge of distributing disaster relief supplies and had handled matters fairly. Long Fei Ye hadn't been able to do anything to him, so Baili Yuanlong had returned a few days ago.
Long Fei Ye said seriously, "I want to tell the world that I'm not partial to East Qin or Western Qin. I'm only partial to you, the mistress of Cloud Realm Continent!"
Northern Li still involved the interests of the Di Clan's Ning Family. Now that the Ning Family had retreated, Han Yunxi wouldn't hand Northern Li's military power to the Ning Family in the future. He was doing this to tell the world that Han Yunxi wasn't just the princess of Western Qin, but also his woman, Long Fei Ye's woman, the future mistress of Cloud Realm Continent. The greatest power behind Han Yunxi wasn't the Di Clan, but him! Han Yunxi's power was shared with him.
He wanted to see who dared to question his authority.
There was no need for Long Fei Ye to explain further. The words "mistress" told Han Yunxi everything.
Han Yunxi was really surprised and pleasantly surprised.
In truth, she had always wanted to rule the country together with Long Fei Ye. She had many modern ideas that might not be suitable for Cloud Realm's situation, but they could still be used as reference and revised.
However, she would not rashly ask for an official position, because she knew that this was still a society where men were above men. Women were not suitable to be involved in politics. She could talk freely with Long Fei Ye about how to govern the country and how to manage the army in private, but she could not sit with him in the imperial study room, facing civil and military officials, discussing together.
Who would have thought that Long Fei Ye would be so magnanimous and confident that he would allow her to step out and participate in politics!
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye, not knowing what to say.
"Why? Do you agree?" Long Fei Ye frowned at her.
"No!" Han Yunxi denied inside. She held the brocade box with both hands and said seriously, "I've agreed. You have no room for regret! Also, you are not allowed to give out these command medallions. When the day comes for the reward, I'll personally deliver them to Baili Yuanlong and the others! "
Han Yunxi said as she picked out the command medallion and put it in her sleeve. "I'll accept this one!"
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi's rare adorableness and couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but wonder if he had a daughter, would she be even cuter than Han Yunxi now?
Remembering that Rui 'er was only six months old, Long Fei Ye couldn't bear to see him like this. There was still a long way to go, he could wait.
Han Yunxi was in a good mood and got up lazily. Mu Ling 'er, who hadn't dared to speak all this time, quickly got up as well.
Heavens, seeing Long Fei Ye spoil her sister was simply too scary! Although Long Fei Ye looked especially good when he smiled, … it was still very scary in her eyes.
She had long wanted to leave, but didn't dare to interrupt them. She could only quietly stand aside and pretend to be air.
"Ling 'er, I'm going out for a stroll. Do you want to come?" Han Yunxi asked. She had almost forgotten how long it had been since she left Yunning Palace.
"Do you want to take Rui 'er out?" Mu Ling' er quickly asked.
"He's sleeping right now. No need," Han Yunxi replied.
"Then I won't go. I'll go watch over Rui 'er and wait for him to wake up!" Mu Ling' er smiled. She didn't even realize how ugly her smile was.
A complicated look flickered past Han Yunxi's eyes. She knew that there had to be something between Mu Ling 'er and Jin Zi that she didn't know about.
But since Jin Zi wasn't going back to Wintercrow Country and had declared in front of her and Long Fei Ye that he wouldn't marry Mu Ling 'er. Mu Ling 'er shouldn't be in any danger anymore. As for what had happened between them, she didn't want to ask. Feelings were too complicated. She rejoiced in the fact that she and Long Fei Ye liked each other by coincidence.
"Find a few more people to accompany them. Be careful," Long Fei Ye instructed in a low voice.
"Alright." Han Yunxi replied seriously, but her heart was helpless. Who else in Cloud Realm Continent could hurt her besides Long Fei Ye?
She was planning to pick out some fabric from the cloth shop to make some new clothes for Long Fei Ye and Rui 'er. Although Zhao mama took care of their meals and clothing, she still had to take care of them as a wife and mother.
As soon as Han Yunxi left, Long Fei Ye instructed the Shadow Guard in a low voice, "Go to Kangan Private Bank and tell Manager Luo that this crown prince wants to take over all of Cloud Realm Continent's wineries."
The Shadow Guard couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, there's little grain left after the war. The wineries' business isn't doing well!" With so little grain, how could they use it to make wine? As a result, the wineries' costs were high and their business was even worse.
Long Fei Ye turned to look, and the Shadow Guard realized he'd spoken out of turn. He quickly accepted his orders and withdrew.
Long Fei Ye didn't interrupt the wine business because he wanted to force Ning Cheng out! It wouldn't be too late to find out more about the wineries first! Since he dared to stand him up, he'd like to see if Ning Cheng would come looking for him if he couldn't get a drink!
With Ning Cheng's pickiness about the quality of wine and his drinking capacity, he'd be satisfied regardless of whether it was a farmhouse's brew or a small tavern. If Ning Cheng wanted to drink, he'd definitely go to a big winery.
Now that the official business was over, he had to settle his personal matters before leaving …
Mu Ling 'er followed Han Yunxi out of the study. They walked together for a while before parting ways. Han Yunxi walked out of the palace, but Mu Ling 'er didn't accompany Rui' er. Instead, she went to the back of the mountain.
After leaving for more than three months, she found that she wasn't as sad as before when she stood under the thorny tree at the top of the mountain again. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of intimacy. It was as if no matter how restless her heart was, it all calmed down when she came here.
Jinzi, I broke the contract. I'm sorry.
Qi Big Brother, you should know that Ling 'er is free again!
But Ling 'er won't chase you all over the world like before. Knowing you're still in this world and looking at the same sky and moon as me is enough to satisfy Ling' er!
Mu Ling 'er stayed in the little hut by the thorny tree for a few days.
She decided to go back to Medical City and revive the Mu Clan! Not for the sake of the clan's reputation or profits, but for the sake of doing what she was best at and most fond of. During this trip to Northern Li, she'd discovered many problems with the ingredients. If Gu Beiyue hadn't stopped her and asked her to privately discuss the changes with Medicine City's people, she would've spread the news long ago and made a big fuss!
She was going to revive the Mu Clan and personally teach a bunch of disciples to supervise every bag of medicine sent out by Medicine City!
Mu Ling 'er went down the mountain to say goodbye to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi when she ran into a letter from Medical City.
Chu Xifeng handed a letter to His Highness with a smile. "Miss Ling 'er, you came at the right time. Doctor Gu sent you a letter too."
"Ling 'er has one too?" Han Yunxi was curious. What kind of private matter couldn't be put together in one letter? Why split it into two? But when Long Fei Ye opened the letter, he saw that it was a wedding invitation.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
Mu Ling 'er quickly opened her own letter and pulled out an identical one.
"Eldest Young Miss Qin!" Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er exclaimed at the same time.
Although they knew that Gu Beiyue and Eldest Young Miss Qin were going to marry, they never expected it to happen so soon. Gu Beiyue had just returned to Medical City. Could it be that he brought forward the engagement as soon as he got back? And then immediately got married?
"What's the rush? Is he afraid that he won't be able to find a wife? "Han Yunxi was a little angry at Gu Beiyue's sloppiness!
For one thing, the Qin Clan wouldn't have the guts to betroth Eldest Young Miss Qin to another man since they'd already sent someone to talk about marriage.
For another, Long Fei Ye was going to proclaim himself emperor and found a new country soon. Then Gu Beiyue would definitely be rewarded and conferred a title. Couldn't he settle down first, and then think about marriage? Long Fei Ye had asked him to be the Grand Tutor, but he hadn't even replied yet.
Even the cool-headed Long Feiye revealed a look of surprise. He quickly opened up the wedding invitation and looked at the date. It was the end of the month, so there were only a dozen or so days left. It was only enough time for them to rush from Yunning to Medical City.
"Big sis, I still think that Doctor Gu's being forced into marriage!" Mu Ling 'er couldn't help but speak up.
Han Yunxi didn't care much before, but now she couldn't stay calm. She glanced at Long Fei Ye and said seriously, "Let's get ready and set off. We should at least meet Eldest Young Miss Qin before the wedding, right?"
"No one can force him. I'd like to meet him." Long Fei Ye smiled helplessly. He was indeed curious about this marriage. However, he was more concerned about whether Gu Beiyue would be the Grand Tutor or not.
Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er left first, but Long Fei Ye stayed for two or three days to deal with the matters at hand. Before winter, he should pay respects to his parents, ancestors, and return to his family. Then, he had to establish a new country.
This winter, he still couldn't accompany Han Yunxi to the Jiangnan plum sea to spend the winter. Perhaps, he had to wait until Rui 'er could walk.
Gu and Ning Cheng didn't receive an invitation. It wasn't that Gu Beiyue didn't want to invite them, but that he couldn't find anyone. However, news of Gu Beiyue's wedding quickly spread throughout Cloud Realm. Naturally, it reached Gu and Ning Cheng's ears as well.
As for whether or not the two of them would appear at Gu Beiyue's wedding, that was unknown.
At this moment, Gu Beiyue was walking alone in the longest corridor of the medical academy. The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire back courtyard and making everything seem even quieter. It was just like Gu Beiyue's tall and thin figure, his snow-white robes and gentle face.
He was as bright as the moon, as silent as a shadow. When he smiled, even the moon in the sky seemed to soften.
Amidst the silence, the little thing jumped out of his sleeve and grabbed his sleeve as if it was swinging on a swing. It flipped over and grabbed his sleeve, climbed all the way to his shoulder, and squatted down.
He walked further and further away, turning his head from time to time to press his cheek against Lil Thing. The man and beast formed a world of their own.
Where was Gu Beiyue going?
