Prince Qi had been gone for three years. For a mother, nothing was more painful than that. After all, Prince Qi was now Consort Zhen’s only hope.

"Hehe, I'm not making this up—it's what the master said!" Xiao Huan dodged Fei Yue'er's pinching fingers. "You wretched girl! Stop it!" Fei Yue'er's face turned even redder, burning with embarrassment. Matters between men and women had always been too shameful for her to discuss. Xiao Huan teased, "Miss, I'm not joking. You and Prince Qi are the same age—you should have been married long ago. It's only because the master pampers you and worries about your health that he hasn't arranged anything. But…

Fei Yue'er frowned slightly. Having studied history since childhood, she was well aware of the humiliations inflicted by foreign invasions. Though a woman, she shared the same fervent hope for her nation’s strength as any man. Regardless of whether she would marry into Prince Qi’s household, Pan Yu’s slanderous words…

TN: Subscribe my Patreon for advanced chapter at patreon.com/caleredhair. General Luo Quan was walking toward Fei Ji’s residence, a newspaper from Qingzhou in hand. Unlike before, the price of this issue had actually gone down instead of up. Luo Quan still vividly remembered what the merchant selling it had said: "Though I am a merchant, I am first a citizen of Great Yu. How can I care only for profit at a time of national celebration?" As he walked, Luo Quan couldn’t help but reflect—Xiao…
