Chapter 32: General Hua Luoshuang:
-Imperial Capital.
-The General's Mansion.
As the empire's chief general, Hua Jintian usually stayed in the capital to guard it. His sister, Hua Luoshuang, was the empire's top General. Typically, she would be stationed at the empire's borders.
Among the empire's top ten powerhouses, General Hua Jintian ranked second, while General Hua Luoshuang ranked sixth. These siblings were the pillars of the empire. The Hua family was renowned as a family of generals, and their mansion was naturally vast and grand.
Today, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, who had always preferred martial attire over feminine clothing, had returned!
In response to Ling Ye's call, she returned immediately.
From childhood, this young lady had always been strong and domineering. Her formidable strength and unique status made those around her fearful. She was a genuine haughty young lady!
It was only after she developed feelings for the current emperor that she slowly began to change.
(In the General's Mansion, the main hall)
At this moment, both General Hua Jintian and Hua Luoshuang were present. However, neither of them had gone to the palace immediately.
Hua Jintian looked at his sister with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
Hua Luoshuang, dressed in silver-white battle armor with a high ponytail, indeed exuded heroic vigor. Combined with her stunning appearance, she possessed an indescribable charm. But Hua Jintian was still not satisfied. He felt it was inappropriate for her to meet Ling Ye dressed like this.
"Sister! What are we waiting for?" The fierce Hua Luoshuang in silver-white battle armor asked. Since they were ready, they should set off immediately. The emperor was waiting in the palace.
Hua Jintian squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "How long has it been since you last saw His Majesty?"
"Um... about a year?" Hua Luoshuang thought for a moment.
Yes, she usually guarded the empire's borders and rarely had the chance to meet Ling Ye. She had long sworn to guard the empire for Ling Ye, the man she admired, loving and supporting him in this way.
"A year, a whole year! Do you miss His Majesty?" Hua Jintian asked seriously.
Hearing this, Hua Luoshuang blushed.
This shy expression on such a formidable General made her even more enchanting. Only when talking about Ling Ye did she show such an expression.
"If you miss His Majesty, he certainly misses you too!" Hua Jintian continued.
Hearing this, the blush on Hua Luoshuang's face deepened.
Did the emperor also miss her?
She had been infatuated with Ling Ye since her youth but knew she might not qualify to be his woman.
Therefore, she silently supported him in her way.
She couldn't be sure if Ling Ye had feelings for her but she hoped he did.
If he missed her, she would be very happy, though also shy. After all, she had zero experience in relationships.
"You haven't seen each other for a year. His Majesty misses you, and you miss him!" Hua Jintian continued, "So, you're going to see him dressed like this? Can't you wear something nicer?"
Yes, that was his dissatisfaction.
Meeting after a year, and she dressed like this?
It didn't seem ladylike at all...
"What's wrong with this?" Hua Luoshuang frowned. This was her style.
"Of course, there's a problem! Change into a dress!" Hua Jintian suggested. "Can't you look more ladylike? His Majesty is considering taking a concubine; you should seize this opportunity!"
"This..." Hua Luoshuang was speechless.
Her dear brother had such thoughts?
She thought she looked good like this.
"I don't have any dresses. I'll dress like this. If His Majesty likes me, he'll like me no matter what I wear. If he doesn't, what use is changing into a dress?" Hua Luoshuang stated her opinion. That was her belief!
"Can't you give it a try? Since you like His Majesty, you should make an effort!" Hua Jintian shook his head helplessly.
This girl, although she liked His Majesty from a young age, wasn't good at expressing it or nurturing this affection. She only knew how to silently guard the empire for him.
"Sister, His Majesty is considering taking a concubine, but he doesn't seem to have a specific choice for the empress. You need to seize this opportunity!" Hua Jintian advised. "You must secure the position of empress! First impressions after a long separation are important! Dress beautifully to increase His Majesty's affection for you!"
"You, a girl, need me to teach you these things. I'm..." Hua Jintian felt speechless.
As a battle-hardened general, he was rough around the edges. Yet, here he was, giving advice on matters of love!
