Xiao Ran walked around impatiently for him to see. She had been holding it in at home for so long and was really frustrated.

“Why don’t I pull up my pants for you to see?” As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Chang’an coughed repeatedly.

The Emperor gritted his teeth. Look at how precious you are to that stinky chef.

Pfft, I don’t care!

“There’s no need. I understand.”

Xiao Ran knelt on one knee. “Your Majesty, I request to lead troops to support

the border!”

The Emperor was not at ease. “You’ve just recovered. Don’t you need to rest again?”

Xiao Ran glared at him. “Why am I resting? Can those bastard Xiongnu wait?

Other than me, can you find a reliable commander?

This was really a soul interrogation. It was not that Great Xia could not find any other good generals other than Xiao Ran, but after the battle of the Southern Barbarians, the generals that Great Xia had nurtured after recuperating for several years were simply not enough.

“Guards, send the decree to confer Xiao Ran as Great General. Give her a tiger talisman and lead the troops to repel the Xiongnu!”

Xiao Ran accepted the order. Then, she tossed the Tiger Talisman and smiled.

“Is it enough for Your Majesty to repel Xiongnu?”

The Emperor:… He knew that Third Prince’s style was a little familiar… When the soldiers in the Imperial Capital set off, the commoners were filled with emotions when they heard the identity of the person leading the troops. All these years, Great Xia had been unable to completely suppress Xiongnu. Wasn’t this because it was difficult to find a good general? Ever since General Xiao was injured, how long had Great Xia been aggrieved?

However, wasn’t the general unable to ride a horse with her injuries? Could it be that she was going in a carriage? A general who couldn’t go into battle to kill the enemy could only be a military advisor, right? Was this feasible?

Amidst their doubts and worries, the majestic army arrived. The originally noisy streets of the Imperial Capital instantly fell silent. They looked at the heroic figure of the person in the lead and saw her familiar face and the famous red tassel spear on her back. They actually had the urge to cry.

“General Xiao! General Xiao! General Xiao!”

Xiao Ran smiled and waved her hand. “Everyone, wait. The soldiers and I will teach those shameless bandits a lesson. You guys eat and drink well. Wait for the news of my triumphant return.”

Some people said that Xiao Ran was too arrogant, but the commoners felt that she had the right to be proud.

After the army left, the commoners remembered. “Eh? Didn’t they say that General Xiao injured her leg and can’t ride a horse anymore?”

In the palace, the Emperor was also talking to Eunuch De about this topic. “His medical skills are outstanding. It’s rare for him to still care about the common people and become a military doctor without caring about his gains and losses. We really should let those useless people in the Imperial Hospital take a look and learn from him!”

“Your Majesty, the Empress said that she’s not feeling well. Do you want to take a look?”

The Emperor smacked his lips. “If she’s not feeling well, look for the imperial physician. What’s the use of looking for me?”

The Empress, who received a response, was so angry that she smashed it again. Halfway through, she saw a palace maid loitering outside the door. “Get in here!”

The palace maid knelt on the ground with a plop. “Your Highness, Noble Consort Ji requests an audience!”

The Empress took a deep breath. “Why is she here?

The palace maid trembled. “I-I don’t know…”

The Empress snorted and stepped on the back of her hand. The palace maid was in pain, but she only dared to remain kneeling on the ground and did not dare to move.

Before seeing Noble Consort Ji, the Empress first tidied up her appearance. After meeting her, she looked affectionate again.

Noble Consort Ji asked, “Is everything alright with the Crown Prince at the border?”

The Empress covered her mouth and smiled. “Look at you. Those who don’t know better would think that you’re the Crown Prince’s biological mother.” Noble Consort Ji bent her knees. “I misspoke. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.” The Empress helped her up helplessly. “Look at what you’re saying, Sister. It’s a good thing that you’re fated with the Crown Prince. I can’t even beg for it.” After saying that, she let out a long sigh.

“I wonder if my son will feel relieved if he finds out that we all miss him so much.”

Noble Consort Ji panicked when she heard that. “He suffered there?

The Empress pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. “It’s not considered suffering…” She held Noble Consort Ji’s hand and spoke for a full four hours. She only stopped when Noble Consort Ji left angrily.

The trusted nanny carefully brought over hot water to wipe her face. “Your Highness, this is a good move. It’s best to let her speak.

The Empress sneered. “I’m looking forward to Third Prince’s reaction when he finds out that his biological mother stood up for the Crown Prince.”

On the other side, Noble Consort Ji took a shower as usual after returning to the palace. After scrubbing her entire body clean, she changed into new clothes and started copying books as usual. The palace maid took her old clothes and was about to wash them when she heard Noble Consort say without looking up,

“Burn it.”

The palace maid was puzzled. While hesitating, she was pulled away by the in charge of the palace. “She told you to burn it. Why are you standing there foolishly?”

The little palace maid was new. She held the soft and beautiful clothes in her hand and asked, “Isn’t this a pity? Our lady isn’t such an extravagant person.

Why?”

The palace maid in charge, who was a senior, took the clothes from her hand. -You and I can’t have any doubts about what’s going on in the palace. Do whatever Mistress tells you to do. If you don’t understand, or if anyone asks, just say that His Majesty has rewarded her with new materials and Her Highness won’t be able to wear them all.”

Ah, but didn’t this make people think that the Noble Consort was arrogant because of her favor?

However, this time, the little palace maid cleverly shut her mouth. “Yes, I understand.”

“We’re benefiting from the Third Prince, right? I heard that His Highness repelled the Xiongnu people, so His Majesty specially rewarded our lady!” The palace maid in charge couldn’t help but sigh again. “Let me teach you another principle. In our palace, especially in front of the Noble Consort, don’t mention the Third Prince.”

The little palace maid did not understand, but her experience told her that she should not say anything at this moment. “Yes, thank you for your guidance.” It was rumored in the palace that the Third Prince had contributed greatly in repelling Xiongnu. His Majesty was very pleased and rewarded Noble Consort Ji quite a bit, but the Noble Consort didn’t seem very happy. It was said that she even burned a perfectly fine fabric. In just a few days, this matter became known that Noble Consort Ji was dissatisfied with His Majesty for rewarding the Third Prince but didn’t mention the Crown Prince. She deliberately burned something to vent her anger. Then, it became known that Noble Consort Ji felt that His Majesty’s reward for the Third Prince was too little and was dissatisfied…

The little palace maid finally saw the power of the rumors in the palace. From then on, she became even more careful with her words and actions.

Although the Yan Family felt uneasy about Xiao Ran entering the military camp again, she had returned so suddenly and left so quickly that it was too late for them to interfere.

Shen Congjun had perfectly completed the mission given by His Majesty. What followed was continuous impeachment every day. He felt as if he had become a scoundrel who was bewitching his master, but he did not panic at all.

Even Premier Shen admired his son’s unchanging attitude. He could not help but think highly of him. Shen Congjun waved his fan proudly. “Xiaoxiao once said that the more ostentatious the foreshadowing in the early stages, the more painful it would be to be slapped in the face later.

Although he did not understand much, it was not difficult to see the smugness on his son’s face. Premier Shen threw a broom at him.. “Why are you fanning yourself when it’s autumn? Speak in human language!
