The three of them said in unison.
Yuan Yuhan's face darkened, and the temperature around him dropped. He would never allow anyone with ill intentions to covet that position. Even if he didn't take that position himself, he wouldn't give those with ulterior motives any chance!
Mu Fengqie took a rest in the military camp. When Bei Moxue heard the news, she came to wait outside Jing Xunce's tent. During her days in the military camp, she had learned that Jing Xunce had a wife. She had secretly intercepted that letter. Now she was determined to see what that woman looked like.
"Why are you here?" Jing Xunce was slightly surprised to see Bei Moxue when he came out of the tent.
Bei Moxue pouted, filled with jealousy. "Is the woman in the tent your wife?"
"Yes. So what?"
"Nothing. I'm just a bit excited that there's a woman in the military camp suddenly. Can I go in and have a look at her?" Bei Moxue asked tentatively.
During the long time she had spent with him in the military camp, Bei Moxue had not only fallen in love with his looks but also with the man himself. She had never met a man as outstanding as him, so she had made up her mind from the bottom of her heart to marry him. Who would have thought that he was already married? However, she wouldn't give up her pursuit of marrying him.
After some thought, Jing Xunce nodded. "She's resting now. Don't disturb her. Come back after she wakes up."
In this military camp full of men, Mu Fengqie only had Zhu Fei, another woman, by her side, so she must feel lonely. Although Bei Moxue had a fiery personality, she was also humorous and could keep Mu Fengqie company.
Bei Moxue was unhappy but didn't show it. She forced a smile and said, "Sure. When she wakes up, send someone to let me know."
"Okay." Jing Xunce replied coldly.
The war with the Beiming Kingdom had ended, and the two countries were now negotiating peace. They still had to stay in the military camp until everything was settled. If they returned to the capital and the enemy army went back on their words, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Bei Moxue had been very quiet recently. He always felt that she seemed to have given up the idea of running away.
When Mu Fengqie woke up again, it was already noon the next day. After the long journey, she had hardly had a good sleep. Coupled with the fact that pregnant women tend to be sleepy, she had slept until late in the morning.
Seeing Jiang Yanqin, Mu Fengqie rubbed her heavy head. "Where is he? What time is it?"
"He seems to have something to attend to in the military camp. I don't know exactly where he went. It's noon now. Do you feel better after sleeping?" Jiang Yanqin asked with concern.
Mu Fengqie nodded and was unexpectedly gentle with him. "Much better. Thank you for your hard work these days. If it weren't for you protecting me, I might not be here now."
Originally, she had thought that Jiang Yanqin was just a cynical hooligan, but these days had made her look at him in a new light. She didn't expect that he could be so considerate when taking care of others.
"Why are you being so polite to me? Aren't we friends now? It's what we people in the Jianghu are good at to go through fire and water for our friends. Don't be too touched, or I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me!"
Jiang Yanqin deliberately put on his usual cynical look to make Mu Fengqie laugh. Mu Fengqie rolled her eyes at him and pouted. "You can rest assured on this point. I'll never fall in love with you in this lifetime. Turn left when you go out. Don't expect me to see you off!"
"Do you have to be so heartless? I got up early in the morning to take care of you. I should at least get some credit for my hard work, right? You heartless woman!" Jiang Yanqin pouted and acted coquettishly.
His coquettish look wasn't as greasy as expected. Instead, it was a bit humorous and funny, making Mu Fengqie burst out laughing.
"You still haven't got your act together. What kind of girl would dare to marry you?" Mu Fengqie rolled her eyes while laughing.
When Bei Moxue came in, she saw this scene. The woman sitting on the couch had a gentle smile on her face. The sunlight shining on her face made her look even more gentle, and even Bei Moxue was stunned.
She boasted that her appearance was among the best in the Beiming Kingdom, but she didn't expect to be outshone by the woman in front of her. She immediately felt a sense of crisis.
Mu Fengqie originally thought it was Jing Xunce, but when she saw the face clearly, she was also slightly surprised. There was actually a woman in the military camp? Could this woman be the captured Seventh Princess?
"You must be the vice-general's wife. I'm Bei Moxue, the Seventh Princess of the Beiming Kingdom. Nice to meet you. How are you?" Bei Moxue asked as if nothing had happened.
Mu Fengqie didn't have a clear feeling about this Seventh Princess. She didn't like her very much, nor did she dislike her. It was just that the princess's enthusiasm surprised her, but she still responded politely.
"I've met the Seventh Princess. Did the Seventh Princess go to the wrong place?" Mu Fengqie asked puzzledly.
The Seventh Princess walked in so casually. This was Jing Xunce's tent. Didn't the Seventh Princess even knock on the door before entering a man's tent?
Bei Moxue walked forward and familiarly took her hand. "I'm here to see you. You know there are only men in this military camp. I'm so bored being the only woman here. I'm fifteen this year. How old are you?"
"I'm sixteen, a bit older than the princess." Mu Fengqie replied politely.
She could understand Bei Moxue's feelings. A woman in a military camp full of men must be uncomfortable, especially since she was a princess. She must have suffered a lot of grievances in this military camp.
However, Mu Fengqie couldn't like this overly enthusiastic princess in front of her. Although she seemed as straightforward as Shen Yiru, Mu Fengqie still felt that the Seventh Princess's scheming might not be as simple as it seemed.
"Since you're older than me, I'll call you sister. Why did sister suddenly come to the military camp? The military discipline is strict. Did the emperor send sister here?"
Bei Moxue hit the nail on the head, leaving Mu Fengqie speechless. She really hadn't informed the emperor and had just lied that she was sick to take a leave. The military discipline was strict, and not just anyone could come. Bei Moxue was exactly taking advantage of this to embarrass Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie sized up Bei Moxue. Seeing that she still had a smiling face, she put down her doubts. "It's really due to some special reasons. I'll tell the emperor the truth when I return to the imperial city."
"I see. I heard that sister was injured. Are you feeling better? It's better to lie down and rest when you're injured. Sister, let me help you lie down and rest."
After saying that, Bei Moxue didn't wait for Mu Fengqie's consent and reached out to help her. Mu Fengqie was unhappy but didn't stop her. She was really tired, and lying down to rest would be great.
Bei Moxue accidentally touched Mu Fengqie's slightly bulging belly. She stood still on the spot, and her face turned pale.
