"You Changwei probably won't be attracted to any man for a while. As for Yun Feiyang, she probably doesn't have much choice in who she wants to marry. If that's the case, why should she worry about it? It's better to just have fun day by day, isn't it?"

"Indeed, if I were Yun Feiyang, I would probably do the same and control my heart. I would never be tempted by anyone in this life, not even my husband." Mi Qingxue sighed lightly.

"If you want to be a good mistress of a family, then you must not be tempted. Otherwise, it will only make you uncomfortable..."

"But it's okay. She has a free and easy personality and should have figured this out a long time ago."

"Ah."

……

The carriage rumbled into the palace.

Qin Yan first took Mi Qingxue to her Qingliu Palace to change clothes.

Although she now lives in the princess's mansion outside the palace, Emperor Xia still keeps the Qingliu Palace for her. After all, she is not married yet, so there is naturally a place for her in the palace.

Of course, it is also because no one wants to live in Qingliu Palace.

Who doesn’t know that the Queen doesn’t like the former Concubine Liu?

People in the palace were very taboo about anything having to do with Concubine Liu.

Haven’t you seen that Concubine Liu’s biological daughter, the Second Princess, now lives in the Queen’s Kunxiang Palace instead of Qingliu Palace?

So, since no one is willing to live here, Emperor Xia might as well just keep this place for Qin Yan.

In an instant, a few palace maids came to clean the place and they were still working here.

"I have met His Highness."

When Qin Yan and the other person entered Qingliu Palace, a palace maid who was sweeping the floor hurriedly saluted them.

Qin Yan waved his hand: "I need to change my clothes now, you can continue with your work."

After saying that, he directly pulled Mi Qingxue into the room he often entered.

Nothing has changed much here.

Almost all the things in the princess's mansion outside the palace are new.

Not many things from the palace were taken out.

The first reason is that they were afraid that the Queen would use this as an excuse to make trouble, like saying things from the palace cannot be taken out and so on.

The second reason was that she was not short of money, and she wanted to replace many things with new ones that would better suit the layout of her princess residence. Some of the things in this palace were left by her mother, so she could just leave them here.

Constantly changing places is bad for those things.

It would be troublesome if it was accidentally bumped during transportation.

Qin Yan took Mi Qingxue to change her clothes. As soon as they changed, Nuanle came over.

"Your Highness."

Nuanle smiled and said, "I knew that once you returned to the palace, you would definitely come back to our place first."

Qin Yan nodded: "You came at the right time. Please help us comb our hair into a bun. I am not very good at this."

She had originally planned to just tie it up, but Nuanle happened to come, so she saved them from embarrassment.

"Yes."

……

Zhaoqing Palace.

There are actually many palaces in the imperial palace used for holding banquets. For example, the Zhaoqing Palace is a place used to hold banquets to celebrate the return of military generals.

Emperor Xia had already arranged everything.

Everyone went straight into the palace from the city gate and arrived at the Zhaoqing Palace.

Everyone took their seats.

Qin Rong and other princesses, princes and others were already waiting in Zhaoqing Palace.

As soon as Emperor Xia returned with his men, he could announce the start of the celebration banquet.

"This time, General Yue has really made a great contribution! Therefore, I have decided..."

Emperor Xia looked at Yue Yangrui and said directly: "From today on, you will be the second-rank General Feiyun, in charge of 500,000 troops in the northwest."

As soon as these words fell, the faces of countless people on the spot changed.

Especially Ling Yuancheng.

His face instantly became extremely ugly.

If Yue Yangrui became a general of the second rank, wouldn't he, once the youngest general of the Great Xia Kingdom, become a joke?

If he remembered correctly, Yue Yangrui was younger than him, right?

However, at this moment, he couldn't directly object.

Ye Liuwei's face didn't look very good either.

This Yue Yangrui looks like just a young boy. Why should he overshadow Ling Yuancheng? If that is the case, then if I really marry Ling Yuancheng in the future, won’t I still not be able to become someone that is truly envied by everyone?

Qin Rong was somewhat surprised. She glanced at Concubine Shu who was sitting next to her, and her eyes were full of admiration for Yue Yangrui.

She really didn't expect that this young General Yue would be so outstanding in appearance.

Moreover, it is obvious that my father still thinks highly of him.

This is really...

She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and she didn't know whether this young General Yue would be interested in her...

The third princess, Qin Zhan, did not react much. She just sat there like a transparent person.

Yue Zhengxian frowned, and before Yue Yangrui could express his gratitude, he stepped out and objected, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bad idea? Yangrui is still young, how can he be worthy of a second-rank official position?"

"Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let him take charge of the 500,000-man Northwest Army?"

"Oh? What's inappropriate?" Emperor Xia's gaze fell lightly on Yue Zhengxian.

The corners of his lips rose slightly.

"It seems that the main credit for this battle is owed to General Yue. Although Lord Yue is by my side, you have never intervened. I know all this."

"Or do you think I don't know this?"

Yue Zhengxian was slightly stunned, his face changed drastically in an instant, and he fell to his knees on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, please understand! I, your humble servant, really have no intention of claiming Yang Rui's credit! Really not!"

"Yes, yes, you didn't. But whether you really didn't have it or you are just pretending, I am afraid that you, Lord Yue, are the only one who knows these things best." Emperor Xia's voice was indifferent, his expression was also indifferent, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

However, when his gaze fell on Yue Yangrui not far away again, his gentleness and warmth returned.

"Since Lord Yue has no intention of stealing the credit, then my reward will be accepted by General Yue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Yue Yangrui stood up from his seat, knelt on one knee in the hall, and accepted the reward.

Yue Zhengxian tilted his head to look at his son, the smile on his face seemed a bit fake.

"Rui'er, since you have received such a generous reward from His Majesty, you must serve the court well in the future!"

He deliberately emphasized the last two words "imperial court".

It seemed to be reminding Yue Yangrui something.

Yue Yangrui smiled at him, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Father is right. Yang Rui has always taken it as his duty to serve the country since he was born. Therefore, no matter whether Your Majesty rewards him or not, he will definitely serve the Xia Kingdom."

He turned around, looked at Emperor Xia, and said respectfully: "I will serve you with all my heart and soul until my death!"
