Chapter 153 Similar Past with the Female General
After General You finished speaking, he bowed with both hands and said, "The people and clothes have been delivered, so I will take my leave first!"
Luo Ying smiled and said to General You: "Okay, thank you for your trip!"
General You looked up at Shi Juyi who was standing beside Luo Ying, and said meaningfully, "Princess, can I have a chat with General Shi? We two brothers haven't talked for a long time!"
Luo Ying glanced at Shi Juyi and said, "Juyi, you two haven't seen each other for a long time! Let's have a good chat!"
Shi Juyi bowed with both hands and left with General You. Shi Juyi and General You walked side by side on the road to the military camp. Both of them were silent. Shi Juyi broke the silence and asked in a low voice: "Did His Highness... ask you to find me?"
General You was stunned when he heard his words, and hurriedly explained: "No, I just want to talk to you. From your tone... you are not really like His Highness expected... you like the prince's wife?"
Shi Juyi sighed and said, "It's not that I like it..."
General You asked in confusion: "What is that?"
Shi Juyi said suppressedly: "I think it's not just that I like her...I think I'm in love with her!"
General You was horrified and said in horror: "You are so bold! How dare you...?"
Shi Juyi said suppressedly, "I know. If it weren't for the fact that she is His Highness's woman, I would have wanted to take her away a long time ago! When you brought General Xiao here today, I knew that His Highness began to distrust me and was unwilling to let me stay by her side. He said that he and General Xiao would take care of her just because he didn't want the princess to worry about it. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to transfer me away, right?"
He raised his eyes and looked at General You sincerely. General You said awkwardly: "You guessed it all. That's exactly what Your Highness meant!"
Shi Juyi felt an excruciating pain in his heart. He covered his chest and said with great suffocation, "I had guessed that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"
Seeing his painful expression, General You couldn't help but stop and patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, back when we were in His Highness's Yuchen Palace, didn't you remind me not to think about His Highness's women? Why did you... Hey... Why are you so messed up?"
Shi Juyi sighed and said, "I guess I fell in love with her the first time I saw her in Yuchen Palace, but it wasn't that strong at that time. As I spent more time with her and got to know her better, I became fascinated by her and couldn't help myself!"
He patted General You on the shoulder and said, "If it were you, you wouldn't be able to escape."
General You's heart sank when he heard his words, and he couldn't help but say, "No wonder His Highness loves her so much that his entire personality has changed, and he worries every day that she will be snatched away by someone else! No wonder Prince Yu and His Highness almost went to war over the Crown Princess. You were always warned by His Highness not to cross the line, yet you still fell so deeply in love with her, not to mention that it was a two-way love! If the person I loved was like the Crown Princess, so likable, I would definitely hide her and not let other men have the opportunity to touch her!"
General You paused for a moment and asked Shi Juyi seriously, "So what's your plan?"
Hearing his words, Shi Juyi felt his heart was instantly hollowed out. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know either. I just want to stay quietly by her side and don't want to go anywhere!"
General You held his hand with one hand, patted his arm with the other hand and said, "Brother, I will keep the fact that you fell in love with the princess a secret. You should cherish the remaining time with her! But you must be careful to control your emotions! Don't let the princess find out!"
Shi Juyi nodded sadly.
In Luo Ying's camp, Luo Ying stood up and looked Xiao Qingxiu up and down, and said playfully: "If General You hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that you were a girl!"
Xiao Qingxiu bowed with both hands and said in a suppressed tone: "Marshal, we poor children have no choice. My father has been weak and sick for many years. I have no brothers, only a young brother. If I hadn't joined the army in my father's place, he would have died in the barracks long ago!"
Luo Ying's eyes instantly turned red when he heard her words. He walked up to her and hugged her tightly, saying, "Good, you are such a filial and good child!"
After a while, she let go of Xiao Qingxiu and asked gently, "What's your name?"
Xiao Qingxiu bowed with both hands and said, "Marshal, I am Xiao Qingxiu."
Luo Ying patted her arm and said, "Okay, from now on you can call me Ying Shuai, and I will call you Qing Xiu!"
Xiao Qingxiu nodded, Luo Ying looked at her and continued, "What is filial piety? Facing poor parents, giving money is filial piety, facing lonely parents, accompanying them is filial piety, facing sick parents, taking care of them is filial piety, facing nagging parents, listening to them is filial piety, facing bad-tempered parents, understanding them is filial piety. When the hard days are over, they are old, and when the good days begin, they are ready to go again. Filial piety should be performed early, not until dusk, and love should not wait, and filial piety should not be late."
Luo Ying raised his head, his thoughts drifting far away, and he said to himself: "In my real world, my father is also a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken. In the past, my brother was seriously ill and bedridden, and he used up all the money in the family.
A man, in order to take care of his wife and children, support the burden of the entire family and solve the problem of food and clothing. Although he is a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken, he sets up a stall on the street and works from dawn to dusk just to make sure his family has enough food and clothing.
Because he was too honest, he was often bullied. The one time I remember most clearly was when my father’s stall was overturned by the urban management. I was only eight or nine years old at that time. I hugged the legs of those urban management uncles and begged them not to smash our stall. But not only did they not stop, they smashed and destroyed things even more crazily. I will never forget that shameful moment in my life!
My father stopped me from asking them for help. He pulled me behind him and said, "Don't ask them for help. It's useless!" In the chaotic scene, he grabbed my arms and said seriously, "The weak are not worthy of sympathy. Only by working hard to make yourself stronger can you avoid being bullied!"
Because of what he said, I never think of myself as a girl. I work very hard. If others work one point, I will work ten points. If that doesn’t work, I will work a hundred points.”
She looked at Hua Qingxiu and said word by word: "Because we are children from poor families, we have no way out. We can only rush forward and force ourselves to become a safe haven for our parents and an umbrella for them in the wind and rain! We have similar past experiences, so I can especially empathize with your filial piety!"
Hua Qingxiu collapsed after hearing what Luo Ying said. She lay on Luo Ying and cried bitterly: "I have served in the army for so many years in place of my father, disguised as a man without being discovered. No one has ever understood my pain. Which girl doesn't love red makeup and military uniforms? Which girl doesn't want to be a treasure that is touched and cherished by others? Which girl would like to stay in the army like this, unable to tell whether she is male or female? I hope people can forget that I am a woman, and only hope they remember that I am a female general!"
