"Brother-in-law must have a lot to say to Big Sister after such a long journey. This Little Sister will not disturb Big Sister any longer." Princess Yu Zhang giggled and quickly left with the other princesses.
With a red face, Princess Changle glared fiercely at Princess Yuzhang.
The princesses were not afraid at all and left with giggles. When they were far away, Princess Gao Yang reluctantly turned back to look at the short-haired Meton. She suddenly felt that Meton's hairstyle was a hundred times better than the long hair accessories that men usually wore.
Although Princess Gao Yang appeared very obedient in front of Li Shimin, she was very rebellious in her heart. Meton's unconventional hairstyle made Princess Gao Yang feel like she had found a bosom friend.
However, when she saw Princess Changle standing beside Meton, Princess Gao Yang could only bury this feeling in the bottom of her heart and leave with the other princesses.
When Princess Gao Yang returned to her palace, a palace maid immediately welcomed her with a joyful face. "Reporting to the Princess, Young Master Zhangsun sent people to deliver a lot of silk and satin, as well as Suzhou's rouge and face powder. Every one of them is a rare and exquisite product."
Hearing this, Princess Gao Yang frowned and abruptly slapped the palace maid's face.
"Princess!" The palace maid's eyes were filled with tears as she looked pitifully at Princess Gao Yang.
Princess Gao Yang coldly snorted and looked at the silk and satin. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. What she needed was not these vulgar things. What she wanted was a man who would bring her on adventures to see the world's most magnificent sights, the world's most interesting sights, and the most touching words of love. In return, she would give him an unconditional love and pledge to follow him to death.
"Imperial Father, why are you so cruel?" Princess Gao Yang sobbed as she plunged into her bedroom.
Li Shimin had decreed the world that men and women should be willing to marry, but he had ignored her. Logically speaking, as long as she declared that she didn't like Zhangsun Chong, the marriage would naturally be canceled!
However, the imperial family had already broken off the engagement with Zhangsun Chong once. If she broke off the engagement again, Zhangsun Chong would definitely become the biggest joke in the world. In this way, she, Gao Yang, would offend the Zhangsun family, Empress Zhangsun, and Imperial Father.
Princess Gao Yang was able to stand in the harem because of Empress Zhangsun's nurturing and Li Shimin's love. If she lost these, she would have nothing. Even if she married someone else, who would dare to offend the Zhangsun Family for her?
In this way, all the women in the world would have the opportunity to choose their own marriage. Only she, Princess Gao Yang, would not have this opportunity. And in this world, there would be no man like Meton who would have the courage and ability to save a princess' marriage.
Immediately, Princess Gao Yang felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world. All sorts of resentment couldn't help but surge into her heart.
Leaving aside Princess Gao Yang's self-reproach, in Changle Palace, Meton and Princess Changle were reunited after a long time. Naturally, they had a lot to talk about. At this moment, even Liu E tactfully retreated.
"At that time, Fu Yun's Tuyuhun had 300,000 cavalry. It could be said that they were insufferably arrogant. They covered the sky and covered the earth as they charged toward the Tang Army's position. …"
Princess Changle looked at Meton's pretty face and immediately became worried. Meton changed the topic and said, "In the blink of an eye, this general waved his hand and countless gunpowder bombs flew out from the army, directly extinguishing the Tuyuhun's arrogance …"
Princess Changle immediately looked at Meton with a look of worship. She didn't know that the 'countless' Meton was talking about were merely ten gunpowder bombs. Perhaps in front of his beloved, Meton's IQ, who was unparalleled in arithmetic, directly fell to zero.
Meton continued to brag without blushing or skipping a beat, "Just as the two armies were about to fight, the sky suddenly darkened. Coincidentally, this general pinched his fingers and calculated that it was the time of the Heavenly Dog's eclipse. At this moment, day and night were reversed, and yin and yang were reversed. The Tuyuhun immediately panicked, thinking that it was the descent of divine punishment."
"At this time, this general waved his flag, and fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield. The Tuyuhun panicked and collapsed. When the Heavenly Dog's eclipse ended, the Tuyuhun's corpses were strewn all over the field. Our victory was already decided …" Meton said proudly.
"Wow!" Princess Changle suddenly exclaimed. Although she hadn't seen the fireworks, she could imagine how magnificent and thrilling the scene would be based on Meton's description.
Meton took the opportunity to hold Princess Changle's slender hand. Princess Changle's face turned red, but she didn't break away. Instead, she clasped Meton's fingers tightly. Meton received a response and immediately felt relieved.
"After Fu Yun was defeated, he set fire to the grassland, causing the warhorses to lack pasture. He wanted to force our army to retreat. However, he underestimated our army of the Tang dynasty. He immediately divided his army into two groups, brought enough rations, and overcame many difficulties. One group chased after the Tuyuhun from the south and the other from the north.
Meton explained the army's strategy and divided his army into two groups. As the Tuyuhun broke through one strategic location after another, Princess Changle's strategic location also fell one after another.
"At that time, it was snowing in the middle of summer. The entire army was short of water. There was ice, snow …" When Meton talked about the snow and the entire army was short of water, his mouth instantly became dry when he saw the snow.
"Fu Yun fled in a panic. The army chased after him for thousands of miles, crossing mountains and ridges along the way. It was full of difficulties …"
Meton's plan to cross the mountains and ridges was also full of difficulties. Fortunately, they overcame all the difficulties and finally took the high ground.
"In the end, Fu Yun fled into the vast sea. This general personally led a thousand cavalry and chased after him into the vast desert. The scorching sun was high in the sky, and it was like being roasted on fire. It was a burning pain …"
"Ah!"
Meton suddenly felt a burning pain from the two groups of his army and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Liu E's voice immediately came from outside the hall.
"It's nothing. This general scalded himself by drinking tea." Meton resentfully withdrew his two groups of troops. He couldn't help but feel regretful. He returned victorious from the Western Expedition, but this time, the army was defeated like a landslide.
Princess Changle quickly tidied her clothes and said with a red face, "It's nothing, Liu E!"
"Princess, this servant is just outside the hall. If there's anything, you can call for me." Liu E said loudly. Meton clearly heard the warning in her voice.
Meton couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly with a resentful look on his face.
"Silly! What's the hurry! "Princess Changle said softly. She took the initiative to lean over and leaned her head on Meton's chest.
This time, Meton wasn't impatient. Instead, he gently hugged Princess Changle and a feeling of happiness arose spontaneously.
Meton suddenly thought of something and said bitterly, "I've been fined half a year's salary by His Majesty again. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the money for the betrothal gift this time."
Princess Changle giggled when she heard that and said coquettishly, "It's all because you promised to earn money to get married."
Meton was immediately unconvinced and said, "It's not like you don't know this general's ability. This bit of money can't stump me. Back then, Tubo's envoy, Lu Dongzan, placed a thousand fine horses and ten thousand taels of gold in front of me. I didn't even look at it."
Princess Changle was immediately moved. This was the reason why she had fallen in love with Moton. Noblemen loved money, but they earned it in a proper way. Moton had never earned a single sum of money without a clear conscience. In a soft voice, she said, "Frozen opened a few more stores this summer. The Red Cross Society is already on the right track. There is no need to continue investing.
Meton didn't wait for Princess Changle to finish and said firmly, "I'm the famous God of Wealth in Chang 'an City. How can I use your money? Don't worry, this money can't stump me. When you're sixteen, you can wait to marry into the Mo family!"
"Who wants to marry you!" Princess Changle said shyly.
Meton teased, "Who was the one who wanted to pay for it just now? … "
"You're still talking …" Princess Changle flew into a rage out of humiliation. Meton not only experienced the pain of being scorched by the sun when he chased her into the desert, but he was also defeated and directly kicked out of the door.
Ignoring Liu E's scrutinizing and warning gaze, Meton took a deep breath and stepped out of the palace with his head held high. He was ready to start his ambitious business of making money.
As long as Li Er didn't cause trouble, there should be, probably, maybe, no problems!
