Chapter One:
The roaring bonfire dyed the new moon red and warmed the slightly cool night at the end of summer.
In the square in front of the camp, soldiers in armor were eating and drinking heartily, their faces beaming with joy.
The Western Rong invaded the border, and the King of Ying led his troops to resist the enemy. Now he has returned victorious, and his army is stationed ten miles west of the capital. He is waiting for the emperor to personally lead the civil and military officials to welcome him back to the city tomorrow. Afterwards, he will be promoted and rewarded.
After several rounds of drinks, Prince Chu Yao of Ying, who was sitting at the head of the table, got up and left his seat.
"Go and invite her over." With that ambiguous remark, Chu Yao turned and went into the felt tent.
In a small, unremarkable felt tent in the northeast corner of the camp, Jun Wushuang was about to go to bed when she heard a guard relay Chu Yao's summons. She hurriedly jumped out of bed, slipped on her men's black boots with half-cotton lining, and rushed out.
Going to Chu Yao's camp in the middle of the night was against etiquette, but she needed his help and had no choice but to obey.
Why was he looking for her? Could it be that news had come from the capital?
Chu Yao said he believed her and would help her, but Jun Wushuang still felt uneasy. They were supposed to be engaged, but they had never met. In terms of their relationship, they were barely better than strangers. Why should Chu Yao believe her after just a few words and be willing to go to great lengths to clear her name?
Whether it's true or false, Chu Yao is the only person she can rely on now.
The commander's tent was indeed different; it was more than three times larger than the one Jun Wushuang lived in, and its furnishings were more luxurious and complete.
However, I didn't see anyone...
"Your Highness, are you there?" Jun Wushuang called out in confusion.
Chu Yao walked gracefully out from behind the four-panel screen inlaid with mother-of-pearl and depicting plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums. He had removed his armor and was wearing only a plain white undergarment made of Songjiang cotton, the front of which was wide open, revealing his well-defined chest.
The ground was covered with leather, footsteps were silent, and everything happened without warning.
Jun Wushuang abruptly turned around, her face flushed red, her ears burning, so embarrassed she wanted to run away immediately. But her stubborn nature prevented her from admitting defeat, and she forced herself to ask, "What brings Your Highness here?"
Where do you plan to stay after returning to Beijing?
Jun Wushuang could not answer.
She had a home, but now she can't go back.
Should we continue following Chu Yao?
Even if he didn't object, she found it difficult to shamelessly ask him to do so.
"It's not advisable for you to go back to the Marquis of Runan's residence for the time being." As if knowing her thoughts, Chu Yao spoke up at the right time, "Why don't you stay at the Prince of Ying's residence for the time being?"
"Thank you, Your Highness," Jun Wushuang said gratefully.
"To express gratitude verbally while speaking with one's back turned, is there any manners
