Chapter 90 A Perfect Match
The tent was really smashed into a mess just as she expected. Princess Yuan Shu was throwing a tantrum like a mad woman. The two maids she brought with her stood far away and did not dare to come over, probably because they were afraid of being implicated and frightened by the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in. When they saw who it was clearly - especially that the person was held by Fu Chen's waist, they became even more furious, and their long nails almost poked her face.
"What are you doing here? Who let you in?"
Liu Zhong outside: Of course I’m here to mess things up!
In his heart, he secretly encouraged Tang Ying, hoping that she would be successful and rescue Lord Fu from the clutches of the Ninth Princess as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Faced with Princess Yuan Shu, who was pursuing love wholeheartedly but was arranged into a miserable arranged marriage and turned into a shrew to cause trouble for Fu Chen, Tang Ying did not want to confront her head-on: "I'm going out now, right now!" She fully demonstrated her good quality of being able to bend and stretch, raised her hands in surrender, turned around and was about to walk out.
Liu Zhong stamped his feet anxiously: No... Lord Tang, please don’t give up as soon as you get on the court!
He stood at the door ready to push Tang Ying in at any time. He was determined to find a good helper for the commander-in-chief even if it meant being beaten black and blue by Tang Ying. He didn't want her to admit defeat as soon as she got on the field.
Inside the tent, Master Fu, who had allowed the Ninth Princess to smash things without blinking, loosened his hand around Tang Ying's waist and grabbed her hand instead, speaking gently, "Yingying, where are you going? You need to take a nap after dinner, and you are still weak. Don't wander around, or you will complain of a headache again."
Tang Ying's hairs stood up in alert: "..."Sir, what do you want to do?
Liu Zhong was so happy outside the tent that he almost jumped three feet high: Sir, you are so smart!
Princess Yuan Shu pointed at Tang Ying and yelled at her, almost blowing the roof of the tent off. She screamed, " Yingying? You actually called her Yingying?! Fu Chen, how could you do this to me? How am I worse than her?"
Tang Ying raised her hands to admit defeat: "I didn't ask him to scream." Princess, you have to believe me, I didn't want to do that either.
"Shut up!" Yuan Shu got angry when she saw her. She wished she would disappear from her sight immediately. What's more, it was obvious that she was just showing off.
Tang Ying probably knew how annoying high-wattage light bulbs were. She wanted to slip away, but Master Fu's hand was like a pair of iron pliers, holding her wrist tightly. She didn't have the ability of a gecko to break off its tail to survive, so she was very cowardly in front of the confused Ninth Princess: "Okay, I won't say anything. Princess, you say it."
"Fu Chen, you say! You must give me an explanation today!" Princess Yuan Shu's sharp voice echoed in the tent. Liu Zhong, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping in the corner, scratched his ears and secretly sighed that Lord Fu was so well-mannered today that he did not walk away and let the Ninth Princess throw a tantrum.
Lord Fu turned a deaf ear to Princess Yuan Shu's anger, turned over the stool that Yuan Shu had kicked over, wiped off the non-existent dust on it, and "considerately" helped Tang Ying sit down: "Yingying, sit down. Don't get tired if you are not feeling well."
Only Tang Ying could feel the irresistible force from Lord Fu's arms on her shoulders.
Tang Ying rolled her eyes and sat down resignedly.
"Fu Chen, you tell me..." The Ninth Princess woke up early in the morning and heard that her father had betrothed her to the Crown Prince of Nanyue. She almost fainted and ran to Imperial Concubine Wan, crying and making a fuss. Instead, she was scolded by Imperial Concubine Wan: "You don't have the ability to ask Fu Chen to ask your father for marriage. Didn't I, as a mother, help you?"
The Ninth Princess was speechless because of her own mother. She rushed to the camp of the Forbidden Cavalry Division with anger to settle the score with Fu Chen.
Fu Chen's mocking eyes swept through the tent: "How does the Ninth Princess feel that she is inferior to her?" Without waiting for Yuan Shu to answer, he gave the answer: "It has been less than a quarter of an hour since the princess came, and my tent has become so messy that there is no place to stay. However, Yingying has lived in my tent for these days and it has not affected my daily life at all. What do you think, princess?"
Yuan Shu felt as if there was a raging fire burning in her chest, and as soon as she opened her mouth, a fireball would burst out. Her voice was tightened into a sharp straight line, piercing people's eardrums and hurting them: "She lives with you? You two live and eat together?"
"Ninth Princess, you misunderstood!" Tang Ying felt that the literal meaning of the words "eat and live together" was very consistent with how she and Lord Fu had been getting along in the past few days. However, they ate at the same table and one slept on the bed while the other slept on the floor, which was very different from the connotation of Yuan Shu's words.
"Bitch!" Yuan Shu felt that the girl in front of her was laughing at her. She strode over and was about to slap Tang Ying in the face, but Fu Chen grabbed her wrist. The young and handsome man had an icy coldness between his eyebrows. When he opened his mouth, it seemed as if he could scrape snow particles from his mouth and hit her face painfully: "Princess, please respect yourself! I'm afraid that His Majesty does not agree with your evaluation of Yingying. I don't mind passing on a message!"
Princess Yuan Shu has been obsessed with Fu Chen for a long time. In the past, he treated all women equally, which easily gave her the illusion that Fu Chen was just indifferent to love between men and women and was not targeting her. However, his intimate attitude towards Tang Ying shattered her fantasy. She threw a hysterical fuss, but in his eyes, how was she any different from a shrew?
He even went to complain to his father in order to protect Tang Ying. Princess Yuan Shu felt as if her breath was stuck in her chest and she was about to faint from anger. She took two steps back, holding onto the table and gasping for breath: "Fu Chen, you have such a cruel heart!" Countless vicious thoughts swirled in her mind, and she wished she could tear the couple into pieces.
"You'd better pray to the Buddha for protection every morning and evening, and don't fall into my hands!" She said these harsh words, covered her face and ran away crying, with the maid behind her hurriedly following.
Only Tang Ying and Fu Chen were left in the tent, one sitting and one standing.
"Sir, you are being a bit unkind." Tang Ying crossed her legs, looking like she was going to ask for an explanation. "Logically, you have helped me, so I shouldn't be so petty. But let's be honest. If someone dares to cause trouble for you and asks me to be a forward, I will definitely do my best. But since you have a romantic relationship with the Ninth Princess, it's not a good idea to use me as a shield, right?"
Fu Chen lowered his head, frowning, his eyes misty, as if hiding a myriad of worries, and asked softly: "Has Yingying never used me as a shield?"
"Uh..." Tang Ying: "Sir, are you a bit vindictive?"
Fu Chen said frankly: "Yes, I am particularly fond of holding grudges." A smile appeared on his face, dispersing the mist in his eyes, as if the clouds had been cleared to reveal the sun, spreading golden light everywhere, making people dare not look directly at his smiling face.
Tang Ying's eyes drifted away, and she whispered, "You smile so brightly, aren't you afraid of attracting crime?"
Fu Chen had amazing hearing, so he naturally heard her muttering. The smile on his face suddenly deepened. He rubbed her head and laughed out loud.
Tang Ying stabbed him with her eyes, but unfortunately Master Fu didn't seem to care about her cold face at all. He even pulled her and said, "We have to go back to Beijing tomorrow. Why don't I take you out to play today while we have nothing to do?"
"Didn't the master just tell me that I was not feeling well and shouldn't stand for a long time, and that I should take a nap after dinner? I won't go." Tang Ying seemed to be glued to the stool and refused to move, thinking in her heart: Why should you let me sit when you want and leave when you want?
Master Fu seemed to find her temper particularly amusing, and he actually grabbed her waist and lifted her up, whispering in her ear: "If you are not afraid of embarrassment, I will carry you out. Liu Zhongke is still outside."
Tang Ying gritted her teeth: Liu Zhong is a bastard!
"Put me down!" She rushed out of Fu Chen's tent with the wind under her feet, and ran after the man who was ten steps away: "Master Liu, wait a minute!"
Liu Zhong ran away when he heard Lord Fu say that he wanted to take Tang Ying out for some fun, but unfortunately he was still a step too slow and fell into Tang Ying's sight.
He was not afraid of losing face. He had lost face in front of Tang Ying anyway. He said as he ran, "Master Tang, you are not in good health. Please don't walk so fast."
Tang Ying sneered: "Master Liu, please stay. I still have something to discuss with you."
Liu Zhong hurriedly asked Fu Chen who came out from behind for help: "Sir, Tang Ying was not ready to go in just now. It was I who pushed her from behind and pushed her in. Sir, you can't just stand by and watch her die!"
Master Fu touched his nose, as if he couldn't hear his subordinate's call for help. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early. There's no need to rush into the mountains now. Let's practice martial arts first, just as a warm-up."
Liu Zhong almost cried: "Sir..." You are destroying the bridge after crossing it!
Fu Chen whistled and the Feng tribe members who remained in the barracks rushed out. Upon hearing Fu Chen's proposal, they winked at each other and asked each other secretly.
——Has Commander Liu made the adults angry again?
——I don’t know, but he must be looking for a fight because he is itching for trouble!
——Brothers, do you want to place a bet?
Liu Zhong was trapped in the circle of people and felt that the price of listening to Master Fu was a bit high. He quickly thought of a way to get two people to take the blame: "Hu Bin, Yao Shun, didn't you two say a few days ago that you wanted to find someone to spar with? Now is the right opportunity, come over quickly."
Hu Bin and Yao Shun left Beijing for a mission half a year ago, and returned from other places the day before the winter hunt. They were busy taking turns these days and didn't hear much gossip. They hadn't had a chance to see Tang Ying's skills. Facing the thin girl standing opposite, they always felt that Liu Zhong was joking: "Sir, it's not fair to compete with a little girl. How about you go first?"
Liu Zhong: "Let's go together!"
Hu Bin and Yao Shun were stunned by Lord Liu's shamelessness: "Let's...go together?" Lord, are you sane?
Liu Zhong: "How about you two go first?"
The other members of the Forbidden Cavalry Division had been defeated by the little beggar last time. Later, they learned that the little beggar was Tang Ying in disguise. They felt very upset and wanted to see other brothers get beaten up. They gave Hu Bin and Yao Shun some bad advice: "Why don't you go up first, and if you feel tired, you can all go up together?"
The tall and strong Hu Bin: "...Are you really going to hit me?" I heard that the little girl was an orphan left behind by Marshal Tang, so you guys better not bully her.
Until Master Fu said, "Since it's just a competition, don't worry too much."
Hu Bin stood opposite Tang Ying, gestured to start and tried to explain in a gentle voice: "I will stop at the limit. If you feel tired, just shout."
Tang Ying: “…” The Forbidden Cavalry Division had never seen such a talkative colleague.
She clasped her fists and said, "Brother, fists and feet have no eyes, let's not hold back." She took the lead and kicked Hu Bin in the ribs...
Within a cup of tea, Hu Bin was defeated by Tang Ying first. The tall and strong man was knocked to the ground by her, and before he knew why he fell, Yao Shun was also defeated by her. At least he could still stand, but his posture was not good. He hunched his back and held his stomach, and it was suspected that his intestines were broken by the little girl.
Tang Ying defeated two people in a row and hooked her finger at Liu Zhong: "Master Liu, it's your turn."
Liu Zhong wanted to run away with a sad face, but the wall of people around them surrounded them, and a few conscienceless people had already made a bet in a low voice: "I bet ten taels that Lord Liu loses!"
"I bet twenty taels that Lord Liu loses!"
"Hey, if everyone bets on Tang Ying, it's unlikely that she will win, right?"
Liu Zhong: “…”
Liu Zhong wanted to cry.
见色忘了下属的傅大人抱臂看戏，等他挨了唐姑娘一顿臭揍之后，傅大人路过他的时候还轻飘飘说：“刘大人既然这么爱看戏，不如去把戏台子打扫干净了。”
Stage?
Liu Zhong's leg was aching and he suspected that he had been broken by the little girl. His head was swollen like a pig's head and it was difficult for him to see people. His mind was also dizzy. It was not until Lord Fu and Tang Ying rode away side by side, with Fu Yingjun wagging his tail behind them, that he came to his senses.
It seems that Lord Fu was resentful of him for eavesdropping, so he allowed Tang Ying to beat him and asked him to clean his own tent?
Liu Zhong: “…” Be careful next time you eavesdrop!
The young men from the Forbidden Cavalry Division who didn’t catch Tang Ying beating someone up last time and were watching the whole process this time were terrified: “…” The little girl that Lord Fu likes is so fierce!
He is cruel and ruthless, and he and the adults are really...a perfect match!
