The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. His Majesty actually appointed Si Yan as a female official, and a female official in front of the emperor, and of the first rank. This status was the same as that of the Prime Minister and Lord Situ!

No! This imperial court lady is not even as good as the prime minister. She can report anything directly to the emperor.

Whether in the history of Daxuan or Jiuzhou, it was unheard of for a woman to become a first-rank imperial court lady.

Moreover, Si Zhengxuan was already a first-rank Si Tu, and Si Yan became a first-rank female official. The father and daughter were officials in the same dynasty, and of the same first rank. This was a first in history.

Si Zhengxuan, Prince Yong, Ling Mohan and others were also full of surprise. They knew that this girl was capable, but they did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly appoint her as a first-rank female official.

Si Yan bowed solemnly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I, Si Yan, thank you for your great grace. Long live Your Majesty!"

The girl's voice resounded throughout the hall, echoing and shaking people's hearts.

Si Yan was waiting for this moment. As a first-rank female official in front of the emperor, she would have a lot to do.

Not only Xin Rui's eyes almost popped out, but even Si Zhengxuan's eyes widened as well.

The Imperial Noble Consort was filled with disbelief. This girl must have drugged the old emperor.

Ling Mohan's eyes were full of fighting spirit. This girl became a first-rank female official in the blink of an eye, which showed how capable she was.

He recalled her words again, "I want the General's Mansion to rise again and prosper! I want you to climb higher and higher, to reach the sky!"

Yes! He should work harder.

Otherwise, the distance between him and her will only grow farther and farther. They grew up together, and no matter where she goes in the future, she can't abandon him!

Yan Longyi's eyes were full of pride, she was indeed his Ah Yan!

She had already started paving the way for today, and now that Emperor Daxuan had appointed her as a first-rank female official in front of the emperor, it was only natural.

With the trust and support of Emperor Daxuan, Ayan will be able to do whatever he wants in Daxuan in the future.

"Your Majesty Daxuan, I will not surrender!"

Di Hao had Chi Lei's body carried away, staring at Si Yan with red eyes.

The emperor looked displeased. "I accept defeat! If the warriors of Beimang Country can't even defeat a woman from Daxuan, they shouldn't have come to challenge us."

Di Hao took a deep breath and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Chi Lei once killed a fully grown tiger from my Beimang Kingdom with his bare hands. If Miss Si can also kill a tiger with her bare hands, I will be convinced."

Prince An Qi Guangan stood up and said, "Special envoy of the Northern Mang Kingdom, this Shangjing City is not the Northern Mang Kingdom. There are no tigers here."

"Yes!" Di Hao raised his lips and said, "This time when I came to the capital, I brought a fierce tiger with me. If Miss Si can kill this tiger, I will acknowledge your ability."

Prince An said coldly, "You said to kill a tiger and we'll kill it? What do you think my Daxuan court is? Is it your Beimang Kingdom's Colosseum?"

Di Hao sneered, "Miss Si, is it possible that you don't have the real ability to fight a tiger?"

Si Yan looked at the exasperated Di Hao and said, "I'm afraid you won't dare!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Si Yan said coldly, "If King Hao dares to use the five border cities of Beimang Kingdom as a bet, I will kill the tigers you brought with you."

Di Hao: ...

Prince An's palms were covered in cold sweat. Was this girl really going to fight the tiger?

The tigers in Beimang Country are over ten feet long. They can bite off a person's head with one bite and kill someone with one slap. This is no joke.

Seeing Di Hao's hesitation, Prince An quickly said, "If Prince Hao doesn't dare, let's drop the matter."

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Di Hao retorted, "Which five cities does Miss Si want?"

Si Yan didn't even look at the map and reported directly: "We need five cities: Yushui City, Jinwu City, Wuliang City, Baiyuan City, and Qingsong City."

When Yan Longyi heard these five places, their locations appeared in his mind. These were the five cities in Daxuan that were easiest to control in the territory of Beimang Kingdom.

These five cities are not only close to Daxuan, but also close to Yan State. In these places, it is easy for the two countries to unite to fight against Beimang State.

Di Hao curled his lips and sneered. This woman really knew how to choose places. They were all close to Mount Wujiu, close to Daxuan and Yan State.

"No problem." Di Hao agreed readily. It's not like she asked for it, so they would give it to her?

Si Yan turned to look at the emperor. "Your Majesty, please give me pen and ink, as well as a map of the border between the two countries. Mark and circle the cities. King Hao will write a contract stating that these five cities are the stakes. If I kill the tiger King Hao brought, King Hao will give these five cities to Daxuan. This contract needs King Hao's signature."

Di Hao couldn't help but look gloomy. This woman thought a lot.

"Signing and signing is unnecessary, right? My words are as good as gold, and I will keep them."

Si Yan said calmly, "Since your word is as firm as gold, why should you be afraid of signing? If Prince Hao doesn't want to sign, then let's drop the matter."

The emperor, sitting high up in the throne, couldn't help but speak out: "Yes! This is no small matter. King Hao said that I should go to Daxuan to fight the tiger, so I should fight the tiger. What kind of place is Daxuan? If King Hao doesn't sign and seal, then forget about fighting the tiger."

Di Hao sneered, they were just setting up obstacles to prevent Si Yan from killing the tiger.

They thought he would not agree, so they made this request.

He insisted on agreeing today because he didn't believe Si Yan could kill the tiger.

He said Chi Lei could beat a tiger with his bare hands just to provoke Si Yan to challenge him. In fact, Chi Lei could not kill a tiger with his bare hands.

Di Hao replied, "Okay, I'll sign this agreement. If you can kill this tiger, my Beimang Kingdom will give you these five cities."

He is not the emperor of Beimang Kingdom, so his words don’t count!

Di Hao wrote down the contract and signed it on the spot.

Si Yan took the silk he had written on, looked at it, and said with a smile: "No problem, but let me be frank. If Beimang Country doesn't give you these five cities, King Hao will never be able to return to Beimang Country in his lifetime. King Hao will be held hostage in Daxuan."

Di Hao's face was gloomy: "Miss Si, you should defeat this tiger first."

Prince An frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this tiger is hurting people. Everyone is in the hall. I'm afraid it's too dangerous..."

"Move to the training ground." Emperor Daxuan ordered.

There is a martial arts training ground in the Daxuan Palace where the emperor would test the martial arts of the imperial guards on weekdays. The training ground is surrounded by iron fences to prevent tigers from hurting people.

A group of people moved to the martial arts training ground in a mighty procession. The imperial guards held shields and spears and surrounded the iron fence to prevent the tiger from escaping.

An iron cage with wheels was pushed up, covered with a layer of black cloth. When the black cloth was lifted, a tiger with a bloody mouth opened and roared at everyone.

"Roar--"

Everyone felt a tremor in the air and looked up, only to see that the tiger was over ten feet long, strong and extremely ferocious. Just one look at it was enough to make people feel terrified.

Si Zhengxuan felt his breathing sink, Yan Longyi's expression became nervous, and Prince Yong frowned unconsciously.

At this moment, Eunuch Gu walked up to Si Yan in small steps and said, "Miss Si, His Majesty said that it doesn't matter if we can't defeat the tiger, but you must not be in any harm..."

Si Yan turned around and said to Eunuch Gu, "Eunuch Gu, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Gu Yuan sighed lightly. Seeing that Si Yan had made up his mind, he could only go back and report to the emperor.
