"I don't know what kind of woman that Ren Anle is. How dare she speak wildly in the courtroom. Your Highness, I heard that Ren Anle entered the palace a few days ago, have you seen her?" The young lady from the Marquis of Anyuan's residence obeyed the princess's wishes and calmly brought the focus to the person who is now the most widely rumoured in the Imperial capital.
For half a month, rumours of a female bandit from Jinan had been rife. His Majesty's decree to transfer her to the Da Lisi had not yet been issued. Ren Anle is carrying the rank of third-ranking military general, so they were not in a position to invite her to the capital's noble woman banquet, so they had to ask Princess Shaohua about it.
When she said this, most of the noble women stretched their necks to look at the princess. Shaohua saw the curious look of the woman and laughed, "What else could she be? At most, she is just a girl. I don't think she'll turn into a manly man if she's used to being on the battlefield!"
This is because she's thinking that Ren Anle is too rude to be on the stage.
The young ladies in the tent were so smart that with a single teasing remark they understood that Ren Anle was not in the eyes of the favoured princess of the dynasty and they all stopped talking about her.
As the ladies in the tent laughing and talking a fast horse came from the far side of the paddock, raising the dust in the sky with its powerful aura. The sound of the horse's roar drew the attention of the people in the tents on either side, all of whom raised their eyes to look at the visitor.
The young man man on the horse was about fourteen years old, handsome and elegant dressed in light white riding clothes. Coming from afar with a seemingly luxurious appearance, causing the young ladies in the tent to stare at him with shame.
He was followed by dozen horses, most of the young men on them looking downcast.
"Wen Shou gong zi is back and I'm sure it's him again for today's top prize." Qi Yuesheng stretched her neck to look out, her clear voice popping out in one smooth motion.
[ gong zi - is a term used to name for the son of an official; son of nobility; your son, a form of endearment ]
"That's for sure. Since three years ago, no one in the younger generation of the family's children has been able to surpass Wen Shuo gong zi in riding skills. "Chiming voices of agreement rose and fell, words of appreciation.
"Wen Shuo is very good. The royal brother rarely values people, but he really love him dearly." Shaohua glanced at the young man who had galloped to the middle of the tent and was about to dismount and felt a bit emotional.
As the crown listened, they strongly agreed with Princess Shaohua that the rise of Wen Shuo gong zi in the imperial capital of Dajing was indeed an insurmountable legend.
For no apparent reason that the fact that he was raised by the Crown Prince himself and was the only one of his subjects to have grown up in the Eastern Palace.
Eigh years ago, when the Crown Prince was on a trip to the palace, he was ambushed by assassin from the Northern Qin Dynasty and his whereabouts were unknown. Emperor Jianing was furious and blocked the capital and order a search of the city. Three days later the guard found the crown prince who was seriously injured and unconscious with the toddler who was guarding him in a beggar's den. They did not dare to handle them themselves, so they brought the child back with them to await the Emperor's decision.
