The moon's soft light now shone in the sky of the royal garden. The sweet scent of jasmine flowers wafted through the air. Ming Yue is wearing her most expensive silk dress and jewelry today. There is only one person in her eyes now: General Lin Huisen.
While Lin Huisen was walking through the garden alone, Ming Yue happened to come across him. She gently shook her hand in a fan and gave a charming smile.
"General Lin, alone in the garden at this time of night? Maybe you are thinking of some beauty?" Ming Yue said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
Lin Huisen stopped. That familiar Playboy smile returned to his face, but his eyes were cold. "Princess Ming Yue, if there is a beauty in the garden tonight, it is definitely you. I am truly lucky."
Ming Yue felt like his magic was working. She came a little closer and gently touched Lin Huisen's hand. "General, we all know how rude Ming Yi is. She doesn't understand anything except that sword. But a man also needs peace of mind, right? I think you really understand me."
Lin Huisen removed his hand very politely. He said with that gentle smile,
"Princess, you are beautiful; there is no doubt about that. But I am a warrior; strength is more attractive to me than peace. Ming Yi's sword may be sharp, but its edge is truly unmistakable. I need to conquer that debt."
Ming Yue's smile was so contagious. Lin Huisen gave him a sharp look and said,
"Princess, it's late at night. You should definitely go back to the palace. Goodbye."
The general slowly walked away. Ming Yue stood there, burning with jealousy and humiliation. She realized that Lin Huisen had created a special place for Ming Yi in his heart, which she could not easily break.
From a distance, Zhang Linghe (the general's younger brother) watched the entire scene from behind a tree. There was deep love for Ming Yue and a little pain in his eyes. He knew that the one Ming Yue was chasing wasn't his, but he couldn't help but love Ming Yue.
Linghe was not involved in state politics, so he didn't understand political maneuvers. He likes to live like a normal person. He doesn't like such a luxurious life. Love is very precious to him. He learned to fight from his brother, but he doesn't go into battle.
He loves the princess very much. So he sits in the garden to watch the princess. Sometimes he talks to the princess. Talking to the princess makes him feel better. But the princess doesn't love him. She wants to marry Lin Huisen because she wants power more than love.
On the other hand, Lin Huisen has no attraction to her. Even though he flirts, he doesn't seem to care about her. So she feels very humiliated and upset. Then she tells everything to Linghe.
