Chapter 78 - "The Dragon-loving King Ye"

Hua Luo walked over to Lan Ruofeng and said, "Ruofeng..."
Even though it was just a very ordinary tone, the two light words made Lan Ruofeng instinctively take two steps back, and his body collided with the flower rack behind him, making a loud noise.
Just by this action, Hualuo understood something subtly, and stopped talking to Lan Ruofeng, turning around to leave.
When she reached the front gate of the general's mansion, Zhanxing finally asked, "A Luo, what happened just now with Lan Ruofeng? Were you frightened?"
"Rain in love but umbrella covers, sun in love but shade blocks. Wind comes to close the door, Ye Gong loves the Dragon King."
"Hua Luo felt emotional and did not say much, said to Zhan Xing, 'Let's go.'"
Zhanxing hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Hualuo.
After going back, Hualuo handed a pen to Zhanxing and said, "Zhanxing, please write a letter for me."
"What kind of letter? You tell me."
Zhanxing took the pen.
"This letter is written to Han Ling, asking him to formally exempt the official document and recruit Lan Ruofeng into the army. The training direction is intermediate swordsman, and he will be aware of it."
"What? Are you planning to directly take Blue Ruofeng away? His mother will cry and scream, will she agree?"
"After this incident, I believe she won't dare to question my decision anymore," said Hualuo confidently.
"What about Lan Ruofeng himself? You should know that he is thinking about you day and night. But instead, you transferred him away from the capital city."
"The so-called infatuation is nothing but fleeting youthful sentiment. Although it is beautiful, it cannot withstand any scrutiny or tests. It's like a moon reflected in water, an illusion that disappears like smoke."
"As long as he leaves the capital and doesn't have as many opportunities to see me, after a couple of years, I'll be carefree like a gentle breeze and clear like the clouds. Looking back at all the things happening now, I'll just take them as a joke."
"Oh, A Luo, I didn't expect you to be so insightful. You talk as if you mean it. Could it be that you have loved before?"
Hua Luo shook her head and said, "No."
"Then how did you manage to do it like an experienced person?"
Zhan Xing chatted with Hua Luo while writing.
Hua Luo blinked her eyes, and two very obvious horizontal creases were adorned with delicate diamond chips, making her facial features exquisite, her skin fair, and her appearance charming.
"Because I have carefully observed the various aspects of the world."
Zhanxing pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and set down the pen in her hand. "I'm done writing, A Luo. Take a look."
Faluona took the letter and checked it, finding no problems. She then stamped it with her prince seal and said, "Okay, go ahead and deliver the letter."
Han Ling acted quickly, and three days later the general's mansion received the official notice of employment.
When General Blue read the official document, his wife's face turned miserable and she completely broke down: "Oh my God, why, why are there so many men in Tianqi Kingdom and yet the military camp has appointed us, Ruofeng. General, please think of a solution, think of a solution!"
The general's wife shaking Blue General's sleeve desperately, but Blue General couldn't stand the general's wife anymore and pushed her away.
"Are you still fooling around? Isn't the trouble you caused last time enough? It's a good thing that General Han took a liking to Ruofeng. I suggest you make some arrangements and send Blue Ruofeng to the military camp in three days."
"Why?"
The general's wife covered her chest and teary-eyed said, "I only have one son. I gave birth to him with great effort over a decade ago. I don't ask for him to achieve anything, I only hope for his safety and smoothness. Now he has to be sent to the military camp, just to be sent to the battlefield to die in the future?"
"I must go."
General Lan looked at his son and said, "General Han implied in his letter that this is the intention of Prince Crown, and we cannot oppose it."
"General Han is also a direct subordinate of Prince Crown. You have already offended Prince Crown from the previous incident. Now you cannot go against his intentions, so there is no room for negotiation on this matter."
After General Lan heard about Hua Luo's refusal to come down from the stage while his wife was naked, he was restless and could not have peace of mind. He also deeply reflected on his previous tolerance and indulgence towards his wife's tantrums.
Lan Ruofeng said on the side: "Mother, you don't need to say anymore, I am willing to go to the military camp."
Seeing her husband and son's unanimous attitude, the general's wife knew that there was no way to change the situation, and even if she didn't want to, she could only cry helplessly on the side.
Blue Ruofeng remained silent for a moment and suddenly said to General Blue, "Dad, are you saying that Sister Hua personally greeted the military camp and went against the regulations to recruit me? Does that mean Sister Hua hopes that I will become a great general like you in the future?"
"It must be like this. I remember telling her that I was a little interested in going to the military camp. I didn't expect her to remember it after so long. Sister Hua is really good to me!"
"Silly child..."
General Lan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He had mentioned to the Empress several times about the marriage between Lan Ruofeng and Hualuo, but the Empress had never given a clear response.
Before the official document arrived, he may not have understood what the female emperor meant. Now that the official document has arrived, there is no doubt in his mind. This is clearly the female emperor's way of indirectly rejecting him.
But he couldn't bear to tell his son the truth, so he let Lan Ruofeng hold onto a glimmer of hope and be happy in poverty.
Lan Ruofeng said firmly, "Yes, when I get to the military camp, I will work hard and strive to become a great general like Dad! I will come back in glory."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lan Ruofeng's departure time has arrived.
In front of the gates of the capital city
The general's wife cried for three days, and now she lies in bed unable to get up. She is being taken care of by a doctor, so she didn't come to see him off.
The autumn wind is bleak, General Blue patted Blue Ruofeng's shoulder with a serious expression and reminded him, "Ruofeng, the military camp is not as comfortable as home with good food, fun, and games. From now on, you have to get up and train before dawn every day, and stand guard at night. You'll be wearing heavy armor and eating simple meals."
"But joining the army is a path you chose for yourself, so show the courage of a man and persevere no matter how difficult the conditions may be. Don't disgrace your father, understand?"
"I understand, Father."
Blue Ruofeng answered while looking into the distance.
General Blue asked, "Ruofeng, what are you looking at?"
Blue Ruofeng seemed distracted, "Father, before we leave, there's something else I need to do."
"You, this child, why didn't you speak earlier or later? Why do you say it at this time? What's the matter?" General Lan asked.
"I... I want to see Miss Hua again."
"Prince? It's not up to you to see the prince whenever you want. Be obedient, don't mess around, just go quickly."
At this critical moment, Huaruo personally instructed to bring Lan Ruofeng to the military camp, making it clear that she had no feelings for Lan Ruofeng. It was all just a misunderstanding on his part. What could happen when they meet again?
"But I really want to see Sister Hua, otherwise I won't be at ease going to the military camp."
With this thought in mind, Lan Ruofeng handed the burden to a servant of the General's Mansion, and turned around to run frantically.
General Lan stretched out his hand towards the back of Blue Ruofeng and shouted, "Where are you going, Ruofeng?"
Blue Ruofeng turned his head back while running and said, "I'm going to see Sister Hua."
At this moment, Hua Luo is in the Eastern Palace.
Fuling walked in and reported, "Your Highness, the young master Lan from the General's Residence came running and gasping, saying that he wants to see you."
"Lan Ruofeng? He should be on his way to the military camp at this time,"
Hualuo heard the gasping sound and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, let him come in."
