Right in time, Jiang Suizhou heard Lou Yue’s laughter beside him.

“I’ve made Your Highness laugh. That is this General’s youngest daughter. Her name’s Wajun, ” he introduced.

Jiang Suizhou sighed softly deep inside.

Sure enough, it’s her.

But somehow, instead of relaxing, he felt his chest tightening with an inexplicable stuffiness and discomfort that made his breathing a little disordered.

Perhaps it was because… When he heard that name, he immediately remembered that Huo Wujiu always appeared along with her in the history books.

For Huo Wujiu, Jiang Suizhou was living proof that Huo Wujiu had humiliated him. He was a stain in his life that could never be ignored. But Lou Wanjun… She and he were a rare romantic and soul-stirring divine couple in the historical records.

Jiang Suizhou’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on Lou Wanjun.

To be fair, the lady was most assuredly beautiful. She must have taken after her mother. Unlike Lou Yue, who was big and tall, she had pretty and heroic eyebrows and eyes, with the peculiar unique exquisiteness of a woman.

She wasn’t raised in the boudoir, so her skin wasn’t fair. It was a light wheat color tanned under the sun. This in turn made her beauty show a healthy spirit and a sprinkle of tenacity.

Her demeanor, in particular, exuded a kind of wanton and recklessness of someone raised on the battlefield. This kind of temperament bore quite a resemblance to Huo Wujiu’s. He believed that if the two were to stand in one place, they would certainly be extremely eye-catching.

Jiang Suizhou struggled to avert his eyes.

… What’s wrong with me?

From the start, his current thoughts were merely pipe dreams, and he knew it. Huo Wujiu had his own life track and would meet the people he should meet. He, on the other hand, was just an ordinary person who somehow transmigrated from the future and sought to cling to him in troubled times.

Yet now, the person Huo Wujiu should meet had arrived, but he was not at all happy.

Jiang Suizhou knew he shouldn’t think so, but he couldn’t suppress his discomfort.

He had never experienced this kind of discomfort before. He felt extremely tormented, but he didn’t know who he was competing with. He was just reluctant to retreat.

A few moments later, he smiled gently and reluctantly said, “Sure enough, a tiger father will never beget a dog son. General Lou’s daughter is also a rare heroine.”

Lou Yue was oblivious and didn’t notice anything amiss with him. He waved his hand and replied, “What heroine? It’s all because my wife passed away early, so she grew up wild in the military camp. She’s now around eighteen, but others can’t even tell! My return to the capital this time is also for this. I must detain this girl in Lin’an properly so she can learn some female skills like embroidery, chess, calligraphy and painting. That way, she’ll at least look like a girl.”

He accompanied his speech with laughter, then added, “I also ask Your Highness to please take care of her. If there are any unmarried noble gentlemen or young talents in the capital, I am not too picky…”

Jiang Suizhou replied with a forced smile.

He wanted to tell Lou Yue not to worry because her fate was here; that there was no need to match her with someone else. But when he opened his mouth, he could not make a sound. Meanwhile, Meng Qianshan, who was next to him, noticed his anomaly and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

“Your Highness?”

Jiang Suizhou bowed his head and smiled, allowing Meng Qianshan to support him. He then pushed the boat along with the current, “This Prince is in poor health. I’ve embarrassed myself, General.”

Lou Yue waved his hands again and again: “It’s alright, it’s alright! It will take a while to organize the soldiers. If Your Highness isn’t feeling well, you can go and rest!”

Jiang Suizhou nodded with a faint smile, and Meng Qianshan helped him leave.

While he admitted he was being delusional, his heart also collapsed. He couldn’t even manage to face Miss Lou.

He truly embodied the heart of a dove occupying a magpie’s nest.

On the other side, a steed neighing resounded. The woman in armor removed her foot from the stirrup and dismounted. She clapped her hands and handed the reins to the guard next to her.

She then walked towards Lou Yue, then wondered, “Huh? Father, why did that gentleman leave just now?”

As she spoke, she also shot a few glances in the direction of Jiang Suizhou’s carriage.

“He’s good looking, but why did he look unhappy? Is he your enemy in court, Father?”

Lou Yue gritted his teeth, raised his hand and poked a finger on her forehead.

“What are you talking about! He’s just feeling unwell and went back to rest!” After speaking, he did not forget to warn her, “Don’t you hit on him, hmm? He’s a cut sleeve.”

Lou Wanjun laughed and replied, “What are you thinking? He’s just handsome. Am I not allowed to praise him?”

“Who are you trying to compliment! You don’t look like a girl!” Lou Yue was exasperated at her failure to meet his expectations. “You’d better watch your words! The capital is not like the barracks where you can spout whatever you want to say! If you speak so indiscreetly, how are you going to…”

“Find a husband!” Lou Wanjun interrupted him and provided what he was going to say next. “I know, I know. My ears are getting calluses.”

Lou Yue glared at her in a fury: “Don’t take your father’s words as a joke!”

Lou Wanjun scoffed. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder casually, retorting perfunctorily.

“Got it, got it. I’m not taking it as a joke.” She smiled breezily, not taking him seriously at all. Even the last of her words fluttered buoyantly upwards, like a wild goose feather streaking across the desert sky.

“Alright, make haste. Don’t let that little lordling wait for a long time.”
