In the Northern General’s mansion…

Princess Jin was eating at the same table as Duan Huai’s stepmother, Qin s.h.i.+, in the reception hall. Duan Huai was on the opposite side. Duan Huai’s wives and concubines were not at the same table as Duan Huai, but at another table.

Originally, Princess Jin planned to return to Jingyue in the morning.

She had been in Changyu for a few days, but she had come because she had something to do.

Jingyue had sold a batch of horses to the imperial court, and the imperial court had arranged for the horses to be given to the Northern Army. However, there was something wrong with the horses. Therefore, she had personally come over and brought people to care for the horses.

After a few days, their investigation was complete. It was not that there was a problem with the horses, but that the soldiers who raised the horses had given the horses bad fodder to eat.

Since she had found out that it had nothing to do with Jingyue, she immediately planned to go back. However, Duan Huai’s stepmother, Qin s.h.i.+, had heard that she had come to Jingyue, so she set up a banquet and invited her to join them for a meal.

General Duan Huai was upright, righteous, brave, and resourceful. Her father usually admired him. Plus, the Northern Battlefront Army was in Changyu, so it wasn’t far from Jingyue. These years, the two families had been in contact with each other. Now that the Qin family was hosting a banquet, she had to come, so she agreed to attend the banquet.

She was staying at the posthouse. Duan Huai would pa.s.s by the posthouse when he was on his way home from the military camp. Coincidentally, Duan Huai was also planning to go home for lunch today, so they b.u.mped into each other at the entrance of the posthouse. Hence, the two of them went out together for a meal.

The two of them were riding their horses, but there were too many people on the street, so they dismounted and walked alongside their horses.

Since walking was slower than riding a horse, they arrived at Duan Huai’s residence at a later time.

After the meal, they went to the pavilion near the lake to have tea.

After chatting and laughing together, Princess Jin decided to leave.

Qin s.h.i.+, Duan Huai, and the others sent Princess Jin to the gate.

It was not until Princess Jin rode her horse through the wide road that Qin s.h.i.+, Duan Huai, and the others turned around and went back in. After they entered, Qin s.h.i.+ asked Duan Huai’s wife and concubines to leave. Then, she tiptoed, hugged Duan Huai’s neck, and pressed herself against him. She smiled sweetly and said, “If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have had the chance to take that walk with her. Tell me, how do you plan to thank me?”

She knew that Duan Huai liked Princess Jin.

Qin s.h.i.+ was only a few years older than Duan Huai, and she had taken good care of herself throughout the years. Although she was getting old, she still had her charm. Moreover, when she married Duan Huai’s father as his second wife, she was very beautiful for someone her age. Few women could compare to her. Duan Huai was even younger and full of vigor at that time. That was why he could not control himself and did that ridiculous thing.

However, it had been so many years, and Duan Huai had been tempered on the battlefield and in the military camp. He was no longer like how he used to be. Duan Huai scowled and pulled her off his body. “Don’t ever do such things in the future!”

He was very happy to be able to walk on the streets with Princess Jin today, but he was even more afraid that Princess Jin would discover his feelings.

Princess Jin had always addressed him like a brother and never had any other intentions. If she knew that he had such feelings for her, Princess Jin would not personally come to Changyu in the future. It would be difficult for him to even see her again.

The day he realized that he liked Princess Jin was the day he realized that it would never be possible between him and Princess Jin. Therefore, he never had any extravagant hopes, and he was never disappointed.

As soon as she left the entrance of the Northern General’s mansion, Princess Jin casually rode back to the Courier Station.

However, just as she turned the corner, something suddenly flew towards her from the alley. She immediately grabbed it with one hand. She was not in a hurry to see what she had caught. Instead, she immediately looked into the alley to see who had thrown it.
