Chapter Three: Yuan Nan'er
Jiang Lie was stunned for a while and nodded: "Caomin Jiang Lie has seen Princess Mu Mu!"
"Tell you that my name is Yuan Nan'er. Just call me Nan'er from southeast, west and north. There is no need to say a princess at a time." Yuan Nan'er always kept a smile.
"Then don't call me a young man." Jiang Lie's cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
Yuan Nan'er raised her eyebrows: "I heard from Senior Jiang Luo that your nickname is Heili? Can I call you Lie or A Lie?"
"Of course." Jiang Lie smiled.
"Lie, if you hadn't helped you, I wouldn't have imagined what I would be like now... The Earl Sect is indeed an actor. Hong Sanjin, I almost thought that his conscience had found his transformation from evil, but I didn't expect that he would release a hidden weapon beyond everyone's expectations... And General Zhu and the others dared not pursue him rashly, so they let him run away." Yuan Nan'er sighed.
Jiang Lie touched the wound on his lower abdomen and smiled bitterly: "It's not worth mentioning. Hong Sanjin not only wore a mask on his face, but even the words he said were acting..."
Yuan Nan'er frowned slightly: "You fainted last night and I was frightened by the fact that the imperial doctor didn't let me in all night. I was very worried. Fortunately, the hidden weapon was not poisoned and only injured the flesh. It should be cured in half a month. These days, you will be well prepared in the royal palace and give instructions if you have any requests."
Jiang Lie bowed and said, "I am so ashamed that I am so hurtful."
Yuan Nan'er waved her hand: "You gave me my life. I don't know how to repay my kindness yet. Why are you ashamed of?"
In this way, the two of them chatted back and forth in this room for a long time, and suddenly Jiang Lie's stomach made a dull "gurgling" sound.
"I haven't eaten for so long, so I'm hungry. I'll have someone to bring you breakfast." Yuan Nan'er covered her mouth and smiled, and walked to the door and said loudly, "Yingmei, bring breakfast to Young Master Jiang!"
The morning light became more and more warm and warm. After a while, a pretty maid came into the door with a plate. She was in danger with Yuan Nan'er last night, and her name was Yingmei.
Yingmei put the plate on a small table beside the bed and respectfully gave Jiang Lie a big gift: "Please ask Young Master Jiang to have a meal. I am also very grateful to Young Master Jiang for saving his life!"
"You are injured, so just eat some porridge. It's not that Prince Gang's mansion has no good ingredients. When your injury is healed, you will treat you with delicacies." Yuan Nan'er picked up the exquisite porcelain bowl and stared at Jiang Lie, "Do it yourself or do it yourself or feed you?"
Jiang Lie's heart suddenly felt relieved, and his cheeks flushed again, and he didn't know where to put his eyes: "I didn't hurt my hands, so how could I bother His Highness the Princess?"
In fact, the rice in this world and in this era tasted almost no different from that in the socialist era. This was the first time Jiang Lie ate after traveling through time. He ate with relish and chatted with Yuan Nan'er and Yingmei while eating, and learned more information in just a few words.
It turns out that Yuan Nan'er is the niece of the current emperor, Emperor Shangyi Zhong Yuan Liaochen. Although he was not born by the emperor, he was awarded the title of "Princess Mumu" by the emperor. He is the only daughter of all princes who can be called princess. As for Yuan Nan'er's father, he is the emperor's younger brother Prince Gang, whose name is Yuan Liaohong.
At the same time, Yuan Liaohong was the commander of the Royal Lion City Army as Zhu Bi mentioned, the commander of the Divine Lion Army. After winning the victory and triumphant success after seven years of fierce battle with Liji Kingdom in northern Xinjiang 18 years ago, he made great achievements and was promoted to the commander of the Lion City Army. He held heavy troops and managed the public security of the Quanshen Lion City. Then Zhu Bi was the general of the Lion City Armor Army under Yuan Liaohong.
Twenty-five years ago, Yuan Liaohong married a famous talented woman in Shenshi City. She was a perfect match for heaven. However, the plan could never keep up with the changes. As soon as he finished worshiping the world, war came from the northern border - the Liji army captured Huoshan, and moved south with the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. More than ten counties in the north of Shishi were captured, and the national safety was urgent.
Before he could enter the bridal chamber, Yuan Liaohong hurried to the Ministry of War to learn more. After accepting the military order, he rectified the troops with lightning speed and rushed north to save the country overnight. Who would have thought that the battle would last for seven years. Yuan Liaohong fought hard on the frontier for seven years, but his wife stayed alone in the empty room for seven years.
Yuan Liaohong led the Shi Ben Army of that year to recover all the lost territory, drove foreign enemies to the north of Mount Huo, and returned to the south with triumphant success. The outstanding military achievements and the generous rewards were not what Yuan Liaohong cared about at that time. He was more concerned about his wife whom he had been thinking about day and night. After all, he almost turned the most enviable princess in the country into the most miserable living widow.
The husband left home without revealing the red veil. How many women could endure each other? Since Yuan Liaohong's farewell, his wife has prayed day and night, prayed for victory, peace, and prayed for triumph. Three years later, the war was still difficult to resolve, and some people proposed marriage again. She only responded, "How can a husband remarry when he is alive?"
In the past seven years, he lived like a year, but his beauty was still exhausted. Finally, he went home.
Yuan Liaohong was moved, ashamed and helpless about his wife's empty room for seven years. The couple had not seen each other for seven years, and seemed to have thousands of words, but they didn't know where to start, so they had to make up for the late wedding night... After ten months, they had a difficult childbirth.
When Yuan Nan'er mentioned this, her expression was gloomy. Jiang Lie probably expected it in his heart.
At that time, the four imperial physicians and four midwives were helpless and could only make a difficult decision from "protecting the big and the small".
"Save the princess's life, otherwise I will take your head off!" Yuan Liaohong shouted with red eyes.
Yuan Liaohong was filled with guilt for his wife, and he didn't want her to let go of her. He decided to save his wife's life, so that the child who was pregnant for ten months could not be kept.
"Your Highness... I talk to the child every day, I can feel his aura and his cuteness... He should see the world..." Princess Gang grabbed Yuan Liaohong's blood-red hand weakly, "You said that during the war... you look at the south every night, and you said you 'Looking south for seven years, and you will eventually return to the south'... No matter whether the child is a man or a woman, just call Nan'er... This is my...the last wish..."
Jiang Lie's eyes couldn't help but feel wet: "Then... you survived..."
Yuan Nan'er had to nod her head lightly.
After Prince Gang died of dying childbirth, the people near Prince Gang's mansion often talked about it, and they all said such things—
"I finally gave birth to a daughter. How worth it!"
"I have been living a life of a total of seven years. My husband has finally returned and has been pregnant for half a year. It turns out that it is difficult for a woman to have no talent!"
"Prince Gang must have thought that he would be able to give birth to a little prince at that time. Not only did his wife disappear, but he was also just a few daughters. I think this daughter's body is weak, so she may not be able to live for how long."
...
Regardless of the crowd's discussion, Yuan Liaohong personally tried his best to raise his daughter. Emperor Yuan Liaochen also cared for his niece and awarded heavy rewards from time to time, and sent many famous teachers to Yuan Nan'er's tutor.
Before she could finish her life, Yuan Nan'er knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays. However, her father did not teach her martial arts only, and did not even dare to reveal her own defense moves. She only called Wentian from the Lion City Army to protect Yuan Nan'er's personal safety at any time.
Now, Yuan Nan'er is 18 years old. After losing his wife, Yuan Liaohong still felt guilty and never took a concubine again. He became an old widower in his fifties.
Jiang Lieyuan only knew that Yuan Nan'er was charming. After eating a bowl of porridge, he realized that he had such a miserable life experience.
At this time, a strong man with a dark face knocked on the door lightly, then walked in and bowed, "The princess asked the princess to go to the bedroom."
This person was Wentian, the guard beside Yuan Nan'er last night.
Yuan Nan'er stroked her long hair: "Yingmei serves Young Master Jiang well." After that, she walked out of the door with Wentian.
After Yingmei saw Yuan Nan'er away, she frowned and sighed.
Jiang Lie didn't know why Yingmei sighed, so he asked the reason.
"The princess will be in trouble now... I am afraid that my servants will suffer." Yingmei said in a low voice.
This sentence "There are many dangers and few good things" really shocked Jiang Lie. He didn't know what Yuan Liaohong would do to Yuan Nan'er, so he asked again the reason.
"The prince does not allow the princess to go out alone at night, but last night when the prince went to General Xu's mansion to drink, the princess insisted on pulling me and Wentian out for a walk on the street. This sneaking encounters disaster. Can the prince not blame the prince..." Yingmei said and shook her head.
Jiang Lie naturally couldn't bear it, so he looked around: "Please help me bring the clothes, I'll go see if I can plead with you, I can't let your princess suffer."
Yingmei said in amazement: "Can the young man get up?"
