Hmm, so thats how it is. So the guy he picked up ca to the capital from the east, huh.
Yang muttered as she sipped her tea. It was dinner ti and they were inside the dining hall. Yui i imdiately reported to her as soon as she returned from the Inner City.
If its the east, then that ans hes a person who ca from the battlefield in the provincial borders?
Yang asked Yui i, who then replied with another question after taking a sip of her own tea that Yang brewed for her.
Li Yong also said that there are a lot of people who lost their mories on the battlefield. Is the eastern region really riddled with war all the ti?
Yui i grew up in the borderlands which was far too remote and totally detached from bloody affairs.
That region was surrounded by desert, and the people who were still capable of attacking them even after crossing that severe desert were non-existent.
Thats the reason why Yui i couldnt grasp the reality of war.
When Yang heard her query, she looked like she was deep in thought.
Hmm, lets see, its probably more accurate to describe it as a never-ending skirmish instead of a war. Actually, no troops were dispatched for war, so its not a real war, I guess.
I get it now.
Yui i then nodded at her explanation.
The commoners would gauge the possibility of war based on whether theres a generalship dedicated to it, apparently.
And right now, the only current general was General Li.
War was also a common the in the Chinese dramas that she watched in her previous life.
There was no lack of triggers of war, be it Internal dissension in the country or dispute with foreign kingdoms.
Based on that premise, it seed that it really wasnt a war, because they didnt hear any news or rumors about mass recruitnt in the Hundred Blossom Palace, and it also seed that the state of war with Xuzhou was also at a standstill. Thus, it was possible to think that the war had abated.
In that case, then this empire is at peace right now?
Yui i thought, but Yang continued on.
Still, that guy is as soft-hearted as ever.
Yang sighed, slightly exasperated.
When Ming accidentally witnessed His Majestys sneaking out, His Majesty probably took advantage of that soft-hearted nature of his and forced him to go along with him. He really couldnt easily change his nature, huh, just like you.
Yang glanced at Yui i while saying that.
Yui i pouted when she was told that she was similar to Ming, but there was sothing that captured her interest.
Is that why His Majesty the Emperor treasured Lord Ming?
Yang ran her mouth, and the revelation that would be taken as disrespectful words by anyone who heard them made Yui i unwittingly ask.
Yang replied with Thats right.
Who on earth would willingly accompany sobody when sneaking out? His head will fly if sothing happened to His Majesty, you know? If its , Ill definitely pretend not to notice anything scurry out of the way if I chance on sothing like that.
Yang said those words with gusto, while Yui i inwardly thought that it was probably true.
If it was soone like Li Yong whose whole family served the crown prince, then it was probably different, but in Mings case, he was just soone who ca from another place outside the capital, working away from ho. He didnt have any connection with the Emperor from the start.
Loyalty wasnt ingrained to such a person.
Oh, so Ming wasnt soone who could leave things alone.
Yui i felt that Ming was indeed quite similar to her, so her opinion of him rose a bit once again.
That should be set aside for now.
Yui i got so hong dou tang a sweet soup made of red mung beans for dessert.
It was similar to the sweet red bean soup of Japan, but this one was more lightly flavored.
The weather had been remarkably cold recently, and this red bean soup that ward them up was really delicious.
Mmmfffmm, so happy.
Yui is cheeks relaxed with every spoonful of the hong dou tong.
Yang watched her as she also ate the sa thing, and for a brief mont, both of them were engrossed with huffing and puffing, blowing on the soup as they ate.
Oh, by the way.
Yang abruptly said.
Xiao i, theres sothing I want to discuss with you about work. The cleaning of the unpopular places is already behind schedule. Are you willing to go there?
