Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 54 A Lifetime of Glory and Peace (23)

"I knew it wasn't true when I heard the rumors in the capital that Princess Rong'an was indulging in the Delightful Pavilion. I just didn't expect that Princess Rong'an would actually go to the border, where there are only men. It's amazing that she can endure such hardship."

As she spoke, she secretly observed his expression, and when she saw a slight look of disgust on his face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess Rong'an is truly a woman who rivals any man. If it were you, Nangong..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nangong Yu interrupted her, his eyes filled with impatience, "Only a promiscuous woman like her would go to the military camp so brazenly. All that talk about women being just as capable as men is just an excuse for her chaotic life. Do you really think what the Emperor said is true? A woman like Gu Rong'an couldn't possibly have that kind of ability. In my opinion, the matter at the Delightful Pavilion might not be false either. Flies don't land on eggs without cracks; if she hadn't done it, why would anyone talk about her?"

Nangong Yu was unaware of the true meaning behind his eyes when he spoke of Gu Rong'an.

She picked up a piece of cold rice cake and handed it over, saying with a touch of comfort, "Nangong, a princess is a princess after all, and this is not something we can talk about in private."

Nangong Yu scoffed, "Princess?" He looked at Hong Zhaodi, his deep eyes filled with mockery and smugness, "She's a princess now, but who knows if she'll be in the future."

Hong Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat. She had some guesses, but dared not say them aloud. "Nangong, what... what do you mean by that?"

He patted her head and pulled her into his arms.

A magnetic voice rang in her ears, "Zhao Di, you don't need to know these things. You just need to know that no matter how difficult the future may be, I will ensure you have a worry-free life and make you the most honorable person in the world."

The most prestigious... Her eyes lit up. The most prestigious position was that very spot.

If what Nangong said is true, then these noble ladies of the capital will no longer dare to look down on her. She will also make Gu Rong'an, who bullied her before, taste the same bitterness.

Shen Yunsheng was beautiful; even dressed in men's clothes, he was still a pretty young man. Many women watching from the sidelines couldn't help but throw their handkerchiefs and sachets at him.

Shen Yun... accepts all comers, and even occasionally throws a flirty wink and blows a kiss.

Li Xuan was completely stunned by this move.

Most of the soldiers following behind were still young, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but lower their heads and take a closer look; even their earlobes were red.

……

Gu Changjin was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a face as white as jade and dark circles under his eyes.

Shen Yun walked ahead, thinking to herself, "Could it be that the Emperor was provoked by her last time, so he's been proving his strength while she's gone, which is why he's so weak? I'll have the imperial chef make him some pork kidney soup later; you are what you eat to replenish your body."

He was thinking about something improper, but he didn't show it on his face at all. "Thanks to the protection of my royal brother, Rong An has successfully completed the task assigned by my royal brother. Only then did I dare to come back to see my royal brother. The barbarians have surrendered, and the Great Wei will have no more enemies."

Gu Changjin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she was unharmed, but the clothes she was wearing made him uneasy again. The clothes didn't look right, nor did they seem newly made, so the most likely candidate was Li Xuan's. Could it be that after spending this time together, Rong An had fallen for Li Xuan? Li Xuan...

After thinking for a long time, Gu Changjin still couldn't figure out what Li Xuan was wrong with. He could only mutter that Li Xuan was already so old and still not engaged. It must be because he had a hidden illness or some strange quirk. He was not a suitable candidate. He must talk to Rong An about it later.

In fact, Li Xuan was the same age as him.

As usual, he spoke in official jargon, mentioning the previous time and his promotion, and Li Xuan kept grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing this, Gu Changjin gave him another superficial label.

It was half an hour later when all the rewards for the soldiers were prepared. He coughed and parted his lips slightly, "Li Xuan, you have not returned to the Li residence for a long time. You must be longing for home. In that case, I will not keep you any longer. You may go back now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun decided to leave together.

"stop."

They both turned back.

"Rong'an, please stay here. I have some things to discuss with you."

Shen Yun frowned, but did not refute. She simply turned to Li Xuan and said, "You wait for me outside. You are not allowed to leave on your own."

Li Xuan glanced at her, then dejectedly said, "Yes."

After he left, Gu Changjin came down from his seat and walked up to her. Just as Shen Yun thought he was about to say something, "Bang!" Shen Yun covered her head, her face full of anger. This bastard probably wanted to die.

2345 quickly said, "Host, calm down. This is just a brother's affectionate caress towards his sister."

Damn it, even a caress feels like she's having her skull opened.

Having finally suppressed his anger, Shen Yun forced a smile and asked, "What is Your Majesty doing?"

Gu Changjin said coldly, "You still dare to ask me what I'm doing? You stole my dragon robe and tiger tally to the border. What should be the punishment for that?"

"Gah..." "Brother, listen to me, this was just an accident. Besides, there are always some bumps on the road to success. As for this little detail, there's no need to worry about it."

"Besides, Your Majesty, don't you think Rong An took down the barbarians to atone for his sins?"

"Ha, according to you, I should not only not reprimand you, but should reward you?"

"That's not necessary. However, if Your Majesty really wants to reward Rong An, then please bestow the sword behind Your Majesty upon Rong An."

Gu Changjin had hoped to evoke her sense of shame, since in his memory his younger sister was someone who cared a lot about her reputation, but now she had become shameless.

"Putting all that aside for now, what do you think of Li Xuan as a person?"

Shen Yun stroked his chin, his face full of admiration, "Very good, handsome and capable."

Gu Changjin frowned, his eyes filled with tension. "Rong An, Li Xuan isn't as simple as he seems on the surface." Although he felt a little embarrassed about betraying his brother, he was determined to face the consequences.

"Could it be that he doesn't like women?" This is troublesome. If Li Xuan likes men, then he can't be introduced to Rouhuan. Wait, he likes men? Gu Changjin looks so nervous... the two of them...

Gu Changjin shook his head with a dark face, "No, no, what I mean is, if Li Xuanruo is really as good as you say, then why is there still no marriage contract? There must be something wrong here."

These words were quite subtle. Shen Yun looked up in surprise, "Brother, you're so old, why don't you have a woman by your side?"
