The Cui Family Army is returning to the capital.
The common folks push and shove each other, lining the streets to welcome them. Everyone is craning their necks, waiting. The chatter never ceases.
"General Cui is brave and skilled in combat, protecting our Da Qi's territory, driving back the barbarian enemies. Yet, this time he has fallen ill. It's said that the situation was extremely perilous, and it's a great fortune that he didn't get an arm chopped off."
"They say Young General Cui is as flawless as jade and as upright as pine trees, most handsome and extraordinary. No wonder Princess You Ning has taken a liking to him. Who knows what he really looks like."
"Why bring her up all of a sudden? Eldest Young Master Cui is already married; he even took great risks to marry Miss Qiao initially."
Inside the private room of First-tier Sky, Miss Qiao leans gracefully by the window, her beautiful eyes reflecting a gentle smile.
Eventually, the crowd begins to stir.
