16 Years old.
On the first day Shen Qingwu sat behind the bead curtain, he deposed the three-dynasty old prime minister.
The 18-year-old general Xiao Che knelt in front of the palace, raised his head and asked her: Where is the Queen Mother's sword hidden?
She walked past him without looking back.
Later, he killed all over the northern border for her, bringing back the tiger talisman, military exploits, and the loyalty of a hundred thousand cavalry.
She stood on the tower to collect the letter of surrender from Nanchu, turned to him and said: Thank you for your hard work, general.
He had been waiting for four years for these three words.

Zhu Pi only has two words: No.
She walked up to him with the memorial and took the initiative to look up at him for the first time.
