The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 690 Like her

The cut was like a ferocious mouth, constantly oozing blood, instantly dyeing the bandage red.

Seeing this, Nier quickly picked up the bandage and pressed it tightly against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding that was gushing out like a fountain.

However, the blood was like a flood that could not be stopped.

Nier was extremely anxious. She pressed the bandage tightly with her hands and said to the general, "I'll go get some medicine. You just press here first, okay?"

At this moment, the princess who had been observing silently from the side suddenly said, "Let me help him hold it down."

General Li looked at the princess in surprise. "You've always hated blood and gore since you were little. You get terrified when you see it."

"One time I was holding a pigeon that had been shot by an arrow, and you were yelling at me to take it away. Now you're not even blinking, and you're even touching it."

The princess said proudly, "Yes, I learned it all from Ni'er. She is my benefactor."

After hearing this, General Li couldn't help but feel a little surprised at Wanwan's thoughts.

He asked, "After all, you are a royal family, you don't have to do these things."

However, the princess shook her head firmly and said, "That's not the way to say it. Although I'm a princess and have been treated as the apple of the Queen Mother and His Majesty's eye since childhood, enjoying all the splendor and wealth, this doesn't mean I can shirk my responsibilities."

"I want to do something practical for the people, not just be a figurehead. Therefore, it is very necessary for me to acquire more survival skills, understand the sufferings of the people, and interact with people from all walks of life."

The princess paused, then continued, "Besides, who says women can't achieve great things? Although I'm a woman, I also have great ambitions and aspirations."

"Before, I might have just had this idea, but since meeting Ni'er, I have become more determined."

"Her courage and perseverance have greatly inspired me and given me the courage to try many things I wanted to do but didn't dare to do before."

The bandage was already red, and the princess pressed the wound even harder, trying to slow down the bleeding.

"When you return to the capital this time, you must earn military merit for Ni'er. She deserves honor and reward."

The princess hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned her head and glanced out the window cautiously to confirm that Nier was not nearby.

She was secretly delighted, this was a rare opportunity!

After taking a deep breath, the princess finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Um... do you like her or not?"

General Li had his eyes closed because of the pain in his body, but after hearing the princess's question, he slowly opened his eyes.

"I..." General Li was about to answer, but was interrupted anxiously by the princess.

"Wait, tell me first, are those rumors about you in the capital true?"

The princess' voice trembled slightly with excitement.

General Li was a little confused for a moment. He really couldn't remember which rumor about himself the princess was referring to.

After all, he heard too many rumors on a daily basis, and most of them were ridiculous and absurd.

"What rumor?" General Li asked puzzledly.

The princess's face instantly turned a little shy. She lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered, "It's...it's just a rumor about that."

General Li suddenly understood what the princess meant.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"You are an unmarried woman, yet you can ask such a question. It seems that you are willing to do anything for Ni'er." General Li teased.

The princess's face turned red, anger surged in her heart, and she unconsciously increased the strength of her hands.

"Hurry up and tell me!" There was a hint of anger in the princess' voice.

General Li took a deep breath, as if he had used up all his strength, and let out a "hiss" sound.

"Of course it is...it's no problem, I assure you."

The princess felt relieved at the sight, but she continued to ask, "Do you like her?"

General Li frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "With our status, how can we even talk about whether we like each other or not? Matters of marriage have always been decided by His Majesty."

His voice was a little low, and then he sighed and continued, "I have military merits, and His Majesty has always been wary of me."

"If I were to use my military achievements to ask for her, His Majesty would probably think I was blackmailing him, which would only bring us more trouble."

General Li's gaze was fixed on the distance, as if he was recalling the past.

He was well aware of the cruelty and complexity of court struggles, and that any carelessness could lead to fatal disaster.

"Besides, the position of princess has always been reserved for those ladies from high-ranking families. With her status, even being a concubine would be a bit of a stretch."

"And Ni'er has a strong character. How could she be willing to be inferior to someone and become a concubine?"

There was a hint of helplessness in General Li's words.

After hearing these words, the princess couldn't help but frown, as if she had heard the hidden meaning in them.

She looked at him thoughtfully. After a moment's silence, she slowly said, "Oh? So you seem to have a crush on her. If that's the case, why don't you take action? If you like someone, you should pursue them bravely instead of hesitating here."

Although the princess' tone was gentle, the blame in it was obvious, "Since you like her, then quickly find a way to improve her status."

"She once saved my life, and the Queen Mother is very fond of her. With these two connections, plus her own excellence, those who want to marry her will probably be fighting for it."

The princess sighed softly and continued, "As far as I know, there are so many people asking about her that I can't even count them on one hand."

"Besides, Ni'er is about to reach marriage age, and with her military achievements, His Majesty might even personally arrange a marriage for her. Don't regret not seizing this opportunity then."

When General Li heard what the princess said, his heart tightened. He realized that this matter could not be delayed any longer and must be planned as soon as possible.

He originally thought he could take it slow, but now it seems that time is running out and he can no longer hesitate.

"Well, I have my own decision." General Li answered firmly, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Just then, Nier came over with medicine.

As soon as she entered the room, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

When Ni'er's eyes met General Li's, she suddenly found that his eyes seemed to reveal a feeling of reluctance to leave her.
