The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

"The Emperor has arrived!" When everyone heard that the Emperor had arrived, they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"

When the emperor saw that everyone was kneeling on the ground, he asked everyone to get up quickly. Today was Madam Fan’s birthday banquet, and Madam Fan would be the host, so there was no need to be polite.

Lou Yunsi found the emperor's voice familiar, but she had never seen him before, so she thought it must be in another world. Emperors were all like this, with a loud voice. She just kept her head down and didn't dare to look up, for fear that if she offended the emperor, her entire clan would be executed.

When the emperor saw Mrs. Fan, he presented her with a gift. Mrs. Fan felt honored to see the emperor coming and was extremely happy.

In order to avoid everyone coming into contact with the emperor and not hurting him, Fan Ziren held a banquet in his own villa so that the emperor could avoid the crowd and drink freely in Fan Ziren's villa. The emperor was the supreme ruler and could not afford to make any mistakes.

The emperor immediately praised Fan Ziren for his thoughtfulness. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Old Lady Fan, the emperor followed Fan Ziren to his villa. Fan Ziren followed him. The emperor couldn't wait to ask, "Where is your Sixth Lady? Why didn't I see you introduce her just now? I really want to see what kind of girl can attract the attention of Mr. Fan."

Fan Ziren was suddenly asked about Lou Yunsi, and he was a little shy. He said, "She was just in the front hall. Today, she gave my mother some pickled kumquats that she made herself. My mother was very happy and praised her for her hard work."

When the emperor heard about pickled kumquats, he asked curiously, "Pickled kumquats, made by yourself? What is it?"

Fan Ziren replied: "Pickled kumquats have the effects of regulating qi, relieving cough, resolving phlegm, and helping digestion."

The emperor exclaimed in admiration: "Mrs. Fan's wife actually sent such a special gift. It is indeed unique and has won the heart of Mr. Fan."

Fan Ziren nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

After everyone knelt down to pay homage to the emperor, Lou Yunsi discovered that Auntie, Lou Yunpiao and Hu Lijing were actually talking about something. Lou Yunsi had a bad feeling and thought to herself that these three people were not related at all, so how could they know each other?

Hu Lijing asked her maid Xiaoya to keep an eye on the emperor's movements and find a good time to expose Lou Yunsi's true identity.

The maid Xiaoya reported that Fan Ziren had accompanied the emperor to Fan Ziren's villa, where a banquet was held. Hu Lijing saw this as a good opportunity, so she brought the maid Xiaoya, Aunt Lou Yunsi, and Lou Yunpiao to Fan Ziren's villa.

The officers and soldiers, Fan Ziren's subordinates, and servants were all guarding the door to protect the emperor's safety. If they forced their way in, they would only be dragged away as traitors.

Hu Lijing was thinking about how to get in when a soldier saw four women wandering not far away and walked over. The soldier was dressed differently from the others, so he might be a soldier with an official position. Maybe they could start with him, Hu Lijing said.

The soldier stepped forward and asked, "Who are you four? The Emperor and General Fan are having dinner inside. No one is allowed to approach."

Hu Lijing said gently: "Brother soldier, I am Fan Ziren's childhood playmate, and she is my maid." She pointed to the maid Xiaoya beside her.

Hu Lijing pointed at Aunt Lou Yunsi and Lou Yunpiao and said, "Do you know who these two are? They are the mother and sister of General Fan Ziren's Sixth Wife. We want to see the general and the emperor for something. We would like to ask the officers and soldiers to inform them that we are here. General Fan and the emperor will definitely receive us."

The officers and soldiers saw that Hu Lijing and Lou Yunpiao were both beauties, dressed richly, and must be from wealthy families. They did not dare to offend them, but they could not let them in casually either.

Seeing this, Lou Yunpiao hurriedly said to the officer in front of her in a coquettish tone: "Brother officer, please go and help pass the message! I feel a little dizzy standing here. If I faint, my sister, the general's sixth wife, will blame you."

After saying that, Lou Yunpiao took out a silk scarf and wiped it on her face and neck, exuding the charm of a young girl.

Sure enough, when the officer and soldier saw Lou Yunsi's actions, he almost drooled, but he held back because he was shouldering the responsibility of protecting the emperor.

The officer and soldier thought about whether he should go and report it. If the emperor and the general were not there, then he would let them leave quickly. If he let them in, they would be grateful to him, and it would be worth it to get the approval of the beauty.

So the eldest officer went in and reported to the emperor that he had just seen the general's childhood sweetheart, her maidservant, and the general's sixth wife's aunt and second sister waiting at the door, and they wanted to see him.

The emperor thought: The second sister of the general's sixth wife, I remember Lou Yunsi was the eldest daughter of the Lou family, and her sister was the second daughter of the Lou family. Didn't the officer report it wrong? Didn't he say that the sister was the general's sixth wife? How did it get mixed up in the blink of an eye? Could it be...

The emperor was worried about one thing. Could it be that the general's sixth wife was Lou Yunsi? When the emperor heard what the soldiers said, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Fan Ziren saw that the emperor seemed to be severely shocked by what the soldiers said, so he shouted at them, "Didn't I say that no one can come in and disturb the emperor when he is here? Do you want to lose your heads?"

When the officers and soldiers heard the general's words, they immediately knelt down. After the emperor came to his senses, he decided to find out who Fan Ziren's sixth wife was.

So the emperor asked the soldiers to bring a few people in. The soldier stood up quickly and went out to tell Hu Lijing and the others. Hu Lijing was overjoyed to hear that they could go in.

Hu Lijing thought to herself: It seems that Brother Ziren is very nice to me and allowed us to come in.

After entering Fan Ziren's villa, the officers and soldiers brought the four women before the emperor. Hu Lijing, the maid Xiaoya, Lou Yunsi's aunt, and Lou Yunpiao all knelt down when they saw the emperor. They had never seen the emperor and didn't know what he looked like.

When Lou Yunpiao knelt in the front hall, she secretly glanced at the emperor. His handsome appearance was comparable to Fan Ziren. She was very excited and thought it would be nice if she could become the emperor's concubine.

When the emperor asked the four people to stand up, Lou Yunpiao even winked at him. Perhaps the emperor had seen countless beauties and didn't pay much attention to such pretty girls like Lou Yunpiao and Hu Lijing.

The emperor kept looking at Hu Lijing and Lou Yunpiao, and then asked, "Who is the second sister of the general's sixth wife?"

Lou Yunpiao thought: Oh no, the opportunity has come, could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to me? Her excited heart and trembling hands.

Lou Yunpiao stepped forward and said gently, "Your Majesty, it's me. My sister Lou Yunsi is the sixth wife of General Fan Ziren."

The emperor couldn't believe what he heard. The voice belonged to Lou Yunpiao, the second sister who bullied Lou Yunsi. He was hiding in the closet at the time and still remembered this somewhat harsh voice.

The emperor tried his best to suppress his fluctuating emotions. He couldn't believe that Lou Yunsi had married Fan Ziren and became Fan Ziren's sixth wife.

Lou Yunsi is General Fan Ziren's sixth wife? Isn't Fan Ziren's sixth wife Lou Yunpiao? How did it become Lou Yunsi?

The emperor continued to ask, "I heard in the palace that the sixth wife of Fan Qing's family is you, Lou Yunpiao!"

Fan Ziren also quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, the people in the palace are wrong. The sixth wife I married is the eldest daughter of the Lou family, Lou Yunsi."

When the emperor heard Lou Yunsi's name, it was like a bolt from the blue.
