Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 246 Mid-Autumn Festival Chapter

Hongying was persuaded by the prize of ten jars of wine and dragged Songnian onto the stage.

When Song Nian was pulled onto the stage by Hong Ying, the audience erupted in cheers.

Women in Dongqin, though they value virtue and gentleness, are not so reserved. It is not uncommon for unmarried couples to meet, divorce, and widows to remarry.

Just like when Wang Xianrong returned home and Min Siyue got divorced, although there was some discussion in Qin Du, that was all.

Therefore, even though the two are currently pulling and tugging at each other, the crowd is just making a good-natured fuss.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What are you laughing at!" Song Nian cursed, pointing at the loudest ones who were jeering, "You, you, you, and you, I'll definitely have to settle things with you another day."

"You're saying I'm in charge? You're not really going to lose, are you? It would be so embarrassing if you lost!"

"That's right!"

"You know nothing!" Song Nian almost rolled his eyes. "What's so embarrassing? The worst thing for a man is not having a wife! You know that?!"

Everyone laughed again.

"I know, I know."

"Command the Spirits and Wisdom!"

Seeing Song Nian chatting with the people below the stage, Hong Ying thought he was talking too much and reached out to pinch his ear: "What are you chatting about? Are you going to fight or not?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Of course we'll fight!"

Qin Yizhen was overjoyed, finding the two quite interesting. She reached out and poked Cheng Yan's arm: "Aren't they quite interesting?"

"That's true." Cheng Yan was also taken aback by the two of them, but as a military officer, he knew that many of his soldiers had wives who were like tigresses at home, so he accepted it very quickly.

Moreover, he even felt that women with this kind of temperament were better than gentle and soft-spoken women. After all, military generals like them had to go to the battlefield, and if their wives couldn't stand up for themselves, they might be bullied at home.

Even worse, they might die on the battlefield, and if their wives couldn't support them, they might be eaten alive.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yan looked at Qin Yizhen.

She now frequently visits the Imperial Study to be by Empress Dowager Cheng's side. Having gained more experience, her temperament has improved considerably compared to her previous gentle and cautious nature. She has developed her own principles in her actions and can quickly analyze what is most beneficial to her, and she can be decisive when necessary.

In addition, he also taught her how to manage her personal guards and the Pingxi Marquis's residence...

That's fine.

Even without him by her side, she should be able to live a good life; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace even in death.

"Cheng Yan".

Cheng Yan snapped out of his daze and saw that she was staring at him.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Yizhen inexplicably felt that his expression was a little strange.

"It's nothing, I just think Hongying's personality is quite good."

"Huh?!" Qin Yizhen was stunned, pointing at Hongying on the stage who was already beating Song Nian, her expression strange, "Is her personality good?"

“It’s really good; no one can bully her.” Seeing her confusion, Cheng Yan brought up He Lan Dian, “Do you know why the Third Young Master He wanted to marry Miss Zhao?”

Upon hearing his explanation, Qin Yizhen immediately understood.

He Lan Dian was an illegitimate son, and a mediocre one at that. Over the years, he had always been careful in his conduct within the He family, and he could only endure any grievances he suffered.

His marriage to Zhao Rufang was not out of romantic love, but rather a result of weighing the pros and cons. He hoped that his wife would not have to live as cautiously as he did, and that his children would not have to be subservient.

Similarly, in this unstable world, it's not necessarily a bad thing for a woman to be a bit fierce and domineering; at least she can protect herself.

Qin Yizhen's smile faded: "When will the world be at peace?"

"almost."

Soon. Once they conquer Western Liang, Southern Qi will no longer be a major problem. And once they occupy Southern Qi, Northern Wei will also be no major problem.

Now, the fate of the Eastern Qin and Western Liang hangs in the balance of power.

Meanwhile, Xiliang has been at a disadvantage in the power struggle between the two countries in recent years. If it weren't for the fact that the ruler of Dongqin is still young and there are frequent internal conflicts, forcing them to cease hostilities in order to stabilize the situation, they would have already started fighting.

Once these battles are over, Eastern Qin will enjoy eternal peace.

We must win.

Cheng Yan held Qin Yizhen's hand and gestured for her to look at the stands: "That idiot Song Nian is just playing with people."

"Really? Really?" Qin Yizhen blinked, unable to tell.

The man and woman on stage were exchanging blows, their fighting style flashy and seemingly evenly matched, with Song Nian occasionally getting punched or kicked.

"He..."

Qin Yizhen covered her ears, indicating that she didn't want to listen: "Don't contradict him. I just said that as long as I can't tell, it means he didn't give it to me."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Songnian and Hongying fought for seven or eight rounds on the field. Finally, after two quarters of an hour, Songnian was kicked off the stage by Hongying and lost the match.

As Song Nian lay on the ground, he clutched his chest, his hand trembling as he pointed at the stage: "You're so... strong..."

Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

Qin Yizhen: "......"

"Has he really fainted?"

Could things really have gone wrong?

"It's nothing." Cheng Yan coughed heavily and said, "Song Nian, you've gone a bit overboard."

Song Nian suddenly opened his eyes, then sprang to his feet with a quick somersault, and continued laughing and joking, "How was it? Did I act well? Hahaha!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I just thought you were going to die."

"Go away, who's gone? Be careful, or I'll have a go at you tomorrow."

"No need for tomorrow, come now, how about it?"

“Okay!” Song Nian immediately agreed.

Although those who know him well know that he let Hongying win, it is still a loss of prestige for him, as the commander of the personal guards of the Marquis of Pingxi, to lose to a woman like this.

He needs to win a few matches to establish his authority, lest these brats start to disobey him.

Unlike Songnian and Hongying's fancy fighting style, these people fought with almost every punch landing hard, barbaric and fierce, using ruthless methods.

Qin Yizhen watched for a while, then felt her heart pounding and covered her eyes several times, unable to look.

Cheng Yan felt that things had gone a bit too far, so he let them fight twice and then dispersed, telling them that if they wanted to fight, they could go to the martial arts arena the next day.

As the sun set further west, the sunset painted half the sky with its glow, and the world gradually became shrouded in twilight. A full moon quietly climbed into the sky, silently watching over the world.

Having heard that there was excitement at the Marquis of Pingxi's residence, several military officers came to join in the fun.

They were all generals under Cheng Yan's command, and they came to his door with their wives and children.

"Haha, it's so lively here, Lord Marquis. We've come to join in the fun and have a drink."

"What's a cup? If you want to drink, bring me a bowl. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
