The Invincible Sixth Prince

"That's the main house and the prince's study. Next to it is the East Corridor Courtyard. Madam Zi and Madam Miaoyin should live in the East Corridor Courtyard."

"There's a corridor over there that leads to the backyard..."

"This palace wasn't this big before. It was slightly expanded last year..."

While Yu Shizhong was walking with Zhuoma to the backyard, he carefully introduced the layout of the palace to Zhuoma.

"Pfft..."

Looking at his serious look, Zhuoma couldn't help laughing out loud.

"what happened?"

Yu Shizhong looked at Zhuoma who suddenly laughed, confused.

What's so funny about this?

Have you ever said anything funny?

"General Yu, are you really going to introduce the palace to me?"

Zhuoma couldn't help but ask, "Do you still think I will always live in the palace?"

"Ah...this..."

Yu Shizhong smiled awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Yun Zheng is not here.

Otherwise, Yun Zheng would definitely kick Yu Shizhong.

Seeing that Yu Shizhong was still not very enlightened, Zhuoma took the initiative to ask: "How old is General Yu this year?"

Yu Shizhong answered seriously: "I will be 31 in a while."

"what?"

Zhuoma was slightly surprised. "I heard from the prince that General Yu is still unmarried? This... is really rare!"

Yu Shizhong is a general of the Northern Army!

It sounds incredible that a person is still unmarried at the age of 31.

"Ashamed to say that."

Yu Shizhong smiled embarrassedly, "I joined the army when I was thirteen years old and stayed in the Northern Army for many years. Later, we encountered the Battle of Shuobei. After the defeat in that battle, many of our brothers died in Shuobei. After the Battle of Shuobei ended, we were disheartened and followed Brother Du to leave Shuobei and go to the Imperial City to make a living..."

Yu Shizhong told Zhuoma about his situation in detail.

During those years in the imperial city, they could have settled down and established a home.

But at that time they were all very decadent and didn't think about this at all.

Until he met Yun Zheng, and followed Yun Zheng back to Shuobei.

There were wars in Shuobei year after year after that, and he had no time to think about starting a family.

"What about your parents?"

Zhuoma asked.

Yu Shizhong sighed, "My parents were infected with the plague when I was thirteen years old, and both died..."

He originally had an older brother.

His elder brother is in the Northern Army.

After his parents passed away, his eldest brother brought him into the Northern Army.

But he was young at that time and could only help with things like feeding the horses. He didn't get much military pay, just food to eat.

But unfortunately, his eldest brother also died in the Battle of Shuobei that year.

It was precisely because he was a lonely man that he followed Zuo Ren and Du Guiyuan, who were also lonely men, to the imperial city to make a living.

Talking about his life experience, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but look gloomy.

Zhuoma apologized: "I'm sorry, the prince didn't tell me about your situation..."

"It's okay. It's been many years." Yu Shizhong shook his head gently. "If I hadn't let it go, I wouldn't have followed His Highness to Shuobei..."

"That's good." Zhuoma chuckled and said with emotion: "No wonder General Yu is so powerful, it turns out that you joined the army at the age of thirteen."

"It's not me who is awesome, it's your Highness who is awesome." Yu Shizhong smiled modestly, "We are all your Highness's disciples. Your Highness taught us a lot about fighting."

"Really?" Zhuoma was surprised and asked curiously, "Why do you all call the prince His Highness? I heard General Shen and Lord Zhang call him that too."

"It's a habit!"

Yu Shizhong smiled again, "People who are familiar with His Highness are used to calling him that."

"So that's how it is!" Zhuoma smiled in sudden realization, tilted her head, and gave Yu Shizhong a mischievous smile, "General Yu, don't you have anything to ask me?"

While speaking, Zhuoma winked at Yu Shizhong.

Zhuoma's question stumped Yu Shizhong.

Yu Shizhong lowered his brows and thought for a while, then said seriously: "Ms. Zhuoma, I am a rough man and I won't beat around the bush when I speak..."

"General Yu is not a rough man."

Zhuoma shook her head and smiled, "During this journey, I have heard the prince tell me a lot about you leading the army to fight. In Zhuoma's opinion, General Yu is a general who is both wise and brave!"

Hearing Zhuoma's affirmation of him, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Yu Shizhong was silent for a moment, then suddenly he became determined and looked at Zhuoma seriously, "Then... Miss Zhuoma, are you willing to marry me?"

"what?"

Zhuoma widened her eyes in surprise.

Is General Yu so direct?

This is completely different from how he was just now!

……

"agreed?"

Listening to Yu Shizhong reporting the "results" to him, Yun Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up with gossip, "How did you talk to her?"

Looking at Yu Shizhong’s previous performance, he thought Yu Shizhong would be a fool in this matter!

He was still thinking about asking Yu Shizhong to take Zhuoma for a good tour around Shuofang City tomorrow so that they could get to know each other better.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shizhong and Zhuoma fell in love so quickly.

Shen Luoyan also had a curious look on her face, and the gossip in her eyes was no less intense than Yun Zheng's.

Yu Shizhong chuckled and told them everything he had talked about with Zhuoma.

After hearing what Yu Shizhong said, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You are really amazing. You just chatted about such a few things and then asked directly if she was willing to marry you."

"This is probably what it means when fools have good fortune!" Yun Zheng teased.

Not bad!

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

It was worth it that I had been with Zhuoma for so long.

Yu Shizhong smiled embarrassedly, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"It's time for you to start a family."

Yun Zheng waved his hand and said seriously, "There are probably spies in Xiqu operating here. Zhuoma's identity is quite sensitive. If Sangjie knew that she married you, your father-in-law would be in danger! After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will help you two to settle the marriage. After we solve the problem of Xiqu, I will give you a grand wedding."

"I will finally understand!"

Yu Shizhong nodded heavily.

"Alright, stop getting in my way." Yun Zheng waved his hand with a smile, "Go and accompany Zhuoma!"

"and many more!"

Shen Luoyan called Yu Shizhong and took out a silver note and handed it to him, "Take Zhuoma to the city tomorrow and buy some things for her."

"no, I'm fine……"

Yu Shizhong quickly shook his head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I also have some silver on me."

"How much silver can you carry with you?"

Shen Luoyan glared at Yu Shizhong and said, "Zhuoma is a princess after all. What can you buy with the little money you have on you?"

"The princess is right!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, urging: "Hurry up and take it! Don't embarrass me!"

Yu Shizhong hesitated for a moment before taking the banknote handed over by Shen Luoyan, "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Princess!"

He really didn't have much money on him.

If he really wanted to buy something decent, the money he had was far from enough.

"Okay, get out of here."

Yun Zheng waved his hand impatiently.

Yu Shizhong smiled, bowed and took his leave.

As soon as Yu Shizhong left, Yun Zheng looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile on his face, "Not bad! You are still very thoughtful now!"

"That is!"

Shen Luoyan smiled proudly, "Didn't you say that you have never eaten pork, but you have never seen a pig run?"

She has now begun to help manage all the big and small affairs in the mansion.

This is something that people understand about the world.

"I'm going to tell Zi'er that you called her a pig."

"No! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Unless you tonight... hey, you know!"

"Bah! You look so dead..."
