Across Time And Space 27 The Candidates 2

Looking at the way Mingyue acted, Princess Lingchen let out a chuckle. Then she placed her wrist on her small pillow. Mingyue put three fingers on Lingchen's wrist and closed her eyes to feel her pulse.

Her shoulder relaxed when she was sure that the Princess's health was good. The Princess's maidservant entered the room and presented her with the usual medicine. Mingyue watched the princess drank her medication, and then, she gave her some candied orange peel to get rid of the bitterness in her mouth.

"Captain Yang Yun won't be returning to the training camp so soon," Princess Lingchen said. She glanced at her cousin to look at her expression.

Mingyue looked at her with her eyes wide. "What do you mean?"

Princess Lingchen took the teacup on her side table and drank a few sips to wet her throat. Then, she took a handkerchief and dabbed her mouth. Her movement was slow and graceful.

"Do you remember when I said that my parents are planning to hold a banquet and invite a few bachelors from neighboring countries?" she said, slowly.

Mingyue nodded. It was not too long ago that Princess Lingchen had told her that His Majesty thinks it's time for the princess to get married.

"His Majesty had set a date for the banquet," The Princess spoke grimly. "It will be held in next spring. His Majesty wanted them to join the spring hunt."

Mingyue's looked at the princess and saw that the grim on her face has faded, and instead her lips curved into a wide smile.

"His Majesty sent General Pei to the northern border for a year. Do you know what this means?"

She knew that although both General Pei and her elder brother were both generals, the two of them did not have the same rank. General Pei might be older by a few years, but Jiang Xiao Xian ranked higher than General Pei.

Mingyue shook her head. She dare not guess His Majesty intention.

"General Jiang Xiao Xian will be in charge of the security for the guests during this banquet. He will continue to stay in the capital for preparation along with his men. It means, His Majesty would not be sending him back to the northern border anytime soon. It seems like Captain Yang Yun will be beside you until after your wedding."

Mingyue lowered her gaze again. The tip of her ears felt hot.

Originally, Yang Yun was supposed to have a week break from camp after the wedding, and then he will return to the northern border, but it looks like he will be staying in the capital for a while longer after their ceremony. The thought of spending more time with him made her heart bloom with happiness.
