The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

The palace banquet continued as usual, but everyone still remembered what the Emperor of Chu said, and everyone was a little absent-minded.

Lord Luo secretly looked at the face of the Emperor of Chu, then looked towards Lord Duan's mansion, wondering what His Majesty meant.

Originally, he thought that when he came back this time, he would be promoted to a captain, which would be good enough, and maybe he could even be promoted to a captain.

But General, he really hadn't thought about it.

Even Lord Rob, who was familiar with the battlefield, thought so, let alone others.

I don’t understand why Duan Jiazi became a young general after disappearing for three years.

And why did he suddenly appear at the palace banquet, and behind His Majesty?

There was also the matter of the assassin at the palace banquet. Why did he know about it? To be more precise, how did His Majesty know about it?

They had many questions in their minds and no one could explain them, so they could only wait there anxiously.

No wonder the Emperor of Chu, who was originally planning to travel in person, suddenly changed his mind.

Thinking of this, the expressions of the princes, in particular, changed drastically.

The emperor is old, but he is not useless. In this palace, and even in the entire capital, their every move is under the emperor's eyes.

Now the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince became extremely honest. The Second Prince and the Fifth Prince, who were originally drunk, were now much more sober.

Is it easy to be a general? Of course not. Some soldiers, no matter how much hardship they endure, find it difficult to become a general.

This is unfair to them. Kang Ge'er is where he is today only because he is luckier. He was lucky to be born in the Earl's Mansion, and he was born with endless wealth and glory for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, he met some people who were scheming for him, including his grandmother, father, fourth uncle, Chu Qinling, His Majesty, and the Queen.

With so many powerful people standing behind him, some roads are destined to be much smoother.

Some people may say that if they were in their place, they would also be successful.

Of course, this is possible.

However, Kang Ge'er's success today is also closely related to himself. He has escaped from the jaws of death so many times. In addition to his solid foundation and keen intuition, he has also had good luck.

The world is inherently unfair.

Kang Ge'er is now like an important chess piece on the chessboard, being pushed to a more important position step by step by the chess player.

"Your Majesty, that boy just scared me. I told him to find a good place to hide. Why did he hide behind your chair?"

The queen patted her chest, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

When did the Emperor of Chu know that Kang Ge'er had hidden himself? It was after he sat down that he heard a faint rustling sound behind him, and then Kang Ge'er's voice calling him softly.

At that time, the officials' wives had not come in yet, and the queen had gone to the other side.

"Your Majesty, I'll hide it here. Is that okay with you?"

Kang Ge'er sat cross-legged behind the dragon throne, hiding himself well. The Emperor of Chu stood up and looked around calmly.

"You know how to find a place."

Kang Ge'er laughed foolishly, gnashing his teeth.

In the middle of the night, they received news that someone had mixed in with the team to assassinate the Emperor of Chu, so they immediately set out back to the capital to tell the Emperor of Chu.

They were the people the Emperor of Chu met in the morning.

At that time, the King of Chu sent secret guards to watch secretly, and also ambushed many people in hidden places around him.

Kang Ge'er was sitting there doing nothing, but the Emperor of Chu assigned him a task.

"If you can kill the assassin, I will reward you with something good."

Kang Ge'er asked what good things they were, but the Emperor of Chu said it was a secret.

Don’t be a fool when you have good things, so Kang Ge’er found a place closest to the Emperor of Chu and provided him with close protection.

But he didn't expect that this good thing was actually the title of a general.

He had never officially led troops to the battlefield. Apart from leading Han Yang, Bai Yi and others, he had also called on those soldiers in times of crisis.

Kang Ge'er doesn't feel that he is unworthy, but he always feels that he is missing an opportunity, not being "nameless and without substance" like he is now.

The Emperor of Chu had promised Duan Jingzong at the beginning that if Kang Ge'er returned safely, he would be the youngest general of the Great Chu.

As the supreme ruler of this country, he has great power to grant official positions and merits.

However, the Emperor of Chu was not such a person, but that did not mean he did not have the power.

Whoever he says is a general is a general, and whoever he says is a princess is a princess.

The title of a small general is given to him.

Besides, Kang Ge'er is not a good-for-nothing, nor is he a show-off.

The Emperor of Chu remembered all the news sent back over the years, as well as the news from the battlefield, and his deeds of leading the remaining soldiers out of the siege despite being imprisoned.

As long as Kang Ge'er continues to move forward and supports Xiao Liu together...

The Emperor of Chu had already thought of all this. He supported Kang Ge'er not only because he had high hopes for him, but more importantly, he wanted to give Xiaoliu a capable right-hand man.

But the queen, the other mastermind behind the scenes, thought differently.

Her painstaking planning paid off. She only had to wait for the next war to break out. Kang Ge'er would make great achievements on the battlefield and solidify his title as a young general, and her plan would be halfway accomplished.

No matter what, the Duan family must move up.

Even if he is a waste, Queen Zhu will help him to rise.

Fortunately, this child is still reassuring.

Queen Zhu was in a very good mood and drank a lot of fruit wine. The Emperor of Chu saw this and tried to persuade her.

"Your Majesty, I am so happy."

The Emperor of Chu felt warm in his heart as he looked at his wife, to whom he owed so much. Even after so many years, she still stood by him as always.

The King of Chu thought that the Queen was happy for him and for the great Chu State because of the grand scene she saw today.

In fact, the queen also had this idea, but it was more of her own little thoughts.

"My Lady, please drink less. Your body is just right and you shouldn't drink too much."

Concubine Ning was sitting on the other side of the Emperor of Chu. She saw that the children who used to come to her palace often had grown up. She thought of Ling'er and him when they were little, and she was so happy that she drank a little too much.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I won't drink anymore."

Concubine Ning drank two sips of fruit wine and felt a little hot. When the Emperor of Chu saw this, he ordered someone to bring her some sweet dew.

When the other concubines saw this, they felt a little resentful, thinking that His Majesty had become more and more partial in recent years.

Apart from the Queen and Concubine Ning, His Majesty has never cared about anyone else in the palace.

Sometimes I would go to the small palaces to sit for a while, but now it is difficult to go to other places more than a few times a month.

The talent show was stopped last year and there were no new concubines.

Concubine Ning was also a person who knew how to please others. She won over the younger concubines very well and sometimes invited them to the palace to play. His Majesty was always impressed by them and would reward them from time to time.
