Yu Zongzhengs current official position could only be filled with his mother’s chast.i.ty and his daughter, who was the Eldest Princess.
He had no virtue and could not cultivate his body. Furthermore, he could not manage his family. How could she improve in the court officials? How could she govern the country and bring peace to the world?
To men, starting a family was a sign of maturity. It was a manifestation of responsibility. Even if Yu Youyao did not consider this matter, the Imperial Court would still urge King Yue Fei to get married as soon as possible.
Yu Youyao did not know what to say for a moment.
Auntie Xu knew that she was a little confused and comforted her. ‘Putting aside these external factors, do you plan to make King Yue Fei wait for you for another three years? Are you really muddle-headed, or are you pretending to be muddle-headed? You’ve been in love with King Yue Fei for so long. Don’t you really know what he’s thinking?”
He appeared in Yu Youyao’s mind again. He kissed her hair lovingly and said gently and restrainedly, “When you reach adulthood, we’ll get married, okay?!”
She looked reproachful. “Auntie, why are you saying that? Marriage is a matter of parents’ orders and matchmaking. As a woman, why should I think about this?”
Auntie Xu laughed. “What a little monster.”
If a daughter was satisfied with the marriage, it was naturally because marriage was a big matter. It was the order of her parents and the matchmaker’s decision. Everything depended on her elders.
If she did not agree, it would mean that the daughter was lacking in talent and morals. She would feel ashamed of her inferiority and would not be worthy of a certain young master’s talent. She was afraid that she would embarra.s.s her family and let down her elders.
If this person wasn’t King Yue Fei, let’s see if she could still say this.
Yu Youyao was furious. Her face was so red that it was about to bleed. She couldn’t help but stomp her feet. “Auntie, you’re annoying. I don’t want to talk to you!’
As she spoke, she turned around.
Auntie Xu held back her laughter. “Then I’ll leave!’ Yu Youyao endured it and did not turn around.
“I’m really leaving!” Auntie Xu pretended to leave.
“Auntie.” Yu Youyao panicked and quickly turned around. She moved closer to Auntie Xu and held her arm, tilting her head on her shoulder. “Auntie, don’t tease me. I’ve lost my mother since I was young. As my elder, I can’t disrespect my Grandmother, so she couldn’t teach me. Auntie is the one who taught me me everything in the room. Auntie is doing this for my own good and hopes that I can make plans for my marriage early.”
Auntie Xu had taken on the responsibility of a mother to her. She provided the upbringing that a mother should provide her daughter, such as the love between men and women, the way of husband and wife, and even the matters of the boudoir.
These were things that only a mother could teach her daughter.
Otherwise, why would people say that a bereaved eldest daughter was uneducated?!
Without a mother, no matter how well-mannered and meticulously raised a child was, there would always be some aspects that were lacking. Auntie Xu made up for this.
Her Eldest Aunt had also taught her a little, even more than Auntie Xu. However, there were many things that Auntie Xu had imperceptibly taught bit by bit from her life. This was something that her Eldest Aunt could not replace.
Auntie Xu stroked her back. “Yes, marriage is the greatest turning point in a girl’s family’s life. When a girl gets married, she has to understand marriage, She can’t marry in a daze. Even if that person is King Yue Fei, you have to know that a sensible person can pretend to be stupid, but a stupid person can only be a stupid ghost.”
“Yes, I understand.” Yu Youyao quickly nodded. “Auntie, I’ll sleep with you tonight, okay!’
Auntie Xu teased, “That’s good too. In the blink of an eye, you’ll be at the age to talk about marriage. It’s time to teach you how to interact as husband and wife, lest you make a mistake.”
Yu Youyao was so embarra.s.sed that her face burned. She quickly hid in Auntie Xu’s arms, just like when she was young. She was like a little piglet, nudging the ground while in Auntie Xu e s arms, making Auntie Xu laugh.
At this moment, Yin Huaixi had just led a team of heavy cavalry and fought an intense battle with the Di army. With the number of people and equipment of both sides being equal, the You army relied on their agile and varied formations, as well as the tactical cooperation of the soldiers to annihilate more than 2,000 people from the Di army with very few casualties.
The You army quickly cleaned up the battlefield and counted the supplies. Before the Di army’s reinforcements arrived, they quickly brought a large number of supplies and used the complicated terrain of the gra.s.sland to escape into the depths of the gra.s.sland, disappearing.
When Zamo He personally rushed over with his troops, all he saw was a tragic battlefield. There were more than 2,000 heavy-armored cavalry, equipped with the best heavy armor, swords, and warhorses. He had spent countless days and nights and countless efforts to train them into a trump card, but they were killed until not a single piece of armor was left.
He was heartbroken and disappointed.
For a moment, he almost had the thought that King Yue Fei of the Great Zhou was invincible.
The soldiers who had come to support them looked at the ground full of broken limbs and bones. Even the fearless Northern Barbarian army could not help but look terrified. They thought about how in the year or so since the war between the two sides, the Di army had repeatedly lost soldiers and generals. They were almost guaranteed to lose every battle.
Yin Huaixi leaned against a large rock and slowly untied a black towel from his left arm, solemnly stuffing it into his arms.
General An Yuan saw everything and couldn’t help but pat his shoulder. He teased, “Good fellow, you’ve finally seen the light.”
Yin Huaixi used to be in the capital and was protected by Old Madam Yu. He also had a relationship with her. After Old Madam Yu pa.s.sed away, Yu Youyao had to observe mourning for her grandmother for three years. He also tied a black scarf on his arm for three years. Yin Huaixi took off the black scarf, which meant that Yu Youyao’s mourning period was over.
Yin Huaixi’s lips curled up as he nodded. Then, he said, “In this battle, we annihilated a heavy cavalry unit of Zamo He’s, causing his strength to be greatly reduced. We can stop for a few days. We’ll rest here for the night first and set off back to the camp tomorrow morning.”
Although the heavy cavalry were good at long-range expeditions, they had been wandering in the gra.s.sland for more than a month. It was time to return to the camp to reorganize.
General An Yuan chuckled and smiled very wretchedly. “l understand, I understand. You and Eldest Princess Shaoyi have been separated for more than half a year. Her mourning period is over. I think it’s time for her coming-of-age ceremony. Your marriage should be prepared as soon as possible. It’ll take at least half a year for the three books and six etiquettes to be prepared. When we defeat the Di army, you’ll be able to wear a wedding robe and directly be a groom.”
His voice was not low at all. When the soldiers heard this, they joined in. “That’s right. Your Highness, quickly marry the Eldest Princess so that we can call her the Princess Consort. You don’t know how awkward it is for us to call her the Eldest Princess…
“When the time comes, we’ll follow you to welcome the bride. I guarantee that the marriage will be glorious and imposing…”
“The Eldest Princess is such a good person. His Highness is really lucky…”
Yin Huaixi’s heart skipped a beat. Yu Youyao’s frowns and smiles appeared in his mind, and his heart skipped a beat. However, as the commander-in-chief, he also knew that now was not the time to talk about love. After laughing, he still had to do what he had to do..
