I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

After Feng Zhaoyun left the palace gate, Bai Yun walked very slowly but came in a hurry. There were no soldiers guarding Feng Zhaoyun.

The people saw Feng Zhaoyun dressed in extraordinary clothes and riding a white horse. Some people in the crowd recognized Feng Zhaoyun and shouted loudly to support the War King. In a moment, the streets on both sides were filled with people.

Jiuyi quickly rode forward to protect his master. Some of the people who were well-informed knew that this was the War King's triumphant return from suppressing bandits in the south, so they shouted her name loudly on both sides, "Your Highness the War King! Your Highness the War King!"

People quickly poured in from all directions, and Feng Zhaoyun was immediately surrounded. There were too many people, and Bai Yun walked even slower in the middle.

But Feng Zhaoyun's face was expressionless, he just looked ahead.

At this moment, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and dark clouds were approaching. Jiuyi stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, the document room is ahead. Why don't we go in and take shelter from the rain first?"

Feng Zhaoyun nodded, and the two of them arrived at the Wenshu Pavilion, supported by the people on both sides.

When the shopkeeper of Wenshuge heard that it was His Royal Highness the King of War, he hurried out to greet her and ushered her in.

Feng Zhaoyun went up to the second floor and suddenly remembered that this was where he first met Qingyue. Memories flooded his mind, and Feng Zhaoyun stood in the corridor and did not continue upstairs...

The shopkeeper looked confused and was about to ask, but was stopped by Jiuyi and had to step aside.

After a while, Feng Zhaoyun came to his senses and walked towards the second floor.

After entering the room, the waiter served some tea and snacks and then left.

Feng Zhaoyun looked out the window and sighed softly, "Jiuyi, is it too late?"

I didn’t know how to respond at the time of 9-11, so I remained silent.

"Do you think...will he hate me?" Feng Zhaoyun's eyes were blank. "I told him to wait for me to come back and that I would marry him. But for Yun Jin, I left him. In the end, I failed to save Yun Jin, nor did I protect Qing Yue."

Jiuyi knew his master was sad, "Master...you are about to get married to His Majesty Nangong, so don't think about these things."

Feng Zhaoyun looked out the window without saying a word.

The sound of rain outside the window gradually subsided. Feng Zhaoyun stood up and left the office. When he returned to the palace, the housekeeper and his men were already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Feng Zhaoyun, everyone knelt and came forward to greet him.

After returning to her main courtyard, Feng Zhaoyun ordered someone to help her take a bath and change her clothes. She lazily wore only her concubine's inner clothes and sat on the soft couch by the window.

She asked someone to bring paper and pen and put them on the small table. After thinking for a while, she finally put pen to paper.

After finishing the letter, he gave it to Jiuyi and said, "Send this letter to Yue Country. This one is for Nangong Shang. For the other one...find a way to secretly send it to Nangong Liuying's mansion and give it to Qingyue. I must get his reply personally."

Jiuyi took the envelope and stepped back.

..........

Two days had passed, and the Queen had not summoned Feng Zhaoyun.

The gate of the imperial city was very lively today. Everyone heard that the War King had returned triumphantly, but those who had seen Feng Zhaoyun said that the War King had already returned to the capital, and it was the Duke and several generals who had returned now.

Since Feng Zhaoyun was not there, Duke Feng rode his horse in the main seat, followed by Lieutenant General Xue and General Xiao Siying.

Not all the troops entered the city, only some of His Royal Highness the War King's personal soldiers followed into the imperial city. The only mansion in the imperial city that could be equipped with troops was the War King's.

The people on both sides cheered loudly, but Duke Feng had no intention of enjoying the people's support at the moment. He was worried about Feng Yunjin being abducted to Yan State.

Perhaps the one who enjoyed it the most in the team was Xiao Siying. Xiao Siying was already beautiful and very heroic, and had already charmed many young men from official families.

This time when he returns to Beijing, the door of the Xiao family will surely be trampled by those who come to propose marriage.

After entering the city, everyone immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor. At this time, officials were already waiting in the palace hall.

Duke Feng brought Vice General Xue and Xiao Siying into the palace. The three of them knelt and bowed, "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

The empress sat at the head of the table, clad in her royal robes, looking very majestic, yet she nodded with a smile on her face, "My dear, please stand up."

The three of them thanked him and stood up. Duke Feng looked towards Feng Zhaoyun's position, but saw no one there.

At this moment, a eunuch entered the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Zhan is waiting outside the palace."

The Queen's expression was indifferent. "Let her in!"

Feng Zhaoyun was wearing a dark blue official uniform at this time. He stepped into the main hall. All the officials hurriedly turned around and bowed their heads, not daring to be negligent.

Feng Zhaoyun changed his usual rebellious demeanor and respectfully stepped forward, kneeling down to greet him. "Your Majesty."

The Queen was stunned. What was going on? "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Zhaoyun did not go to where he usually sat, but stood in the middle of the main hall.

The Empress said, "I have read the document on the suppression of bandits in the southern region. Yun'er, you can tell me."

Feng Zhaoyun stepped forward with a bow, "Your Majesty, this time, Prince Feng made the greatest contribution to the southern bandit suppression. While in Weicheng, he wiped out hundreds of bandit dens in a short period of time. However, he tragically disappeared while pursuing the bandit leader and has not been heard from since. Duke Feng also led his troops to protect the safety of the people in the southern cities, protecting them from persecution by the bandits. He ultimately assisted the king in completely wiping out the bandits and capturing their leader, Master Niu. Because Master Niu and his men stubbornly resisted and refused to confess, I had no choice but to execute them all in Weicheng. This time, the southern bandits have been completely wiped out."

The Queen was delighted upon hearing this. "Excellent! I've read the report that Prince Zhan has only been in Wei City for three days and has already wiped out all the bandits. His contribution is immense! I'm truly pleased."

All the officials were amazed. This War King was indeed very powerful. He had wiped out all the bandits in just a few days. But this... he actually killed the criminals first without permission before reporting. He wondered if His Majesty would blame him.

The Empress said, "I hereby declare that General Feng is missing. I am deeply saddened and have appointed him a First-Class General. Duke Feng will be awarded a thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the generals will be promoted one rank and awarded a hundred taels of silver."

Several people stepped forward to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Duke Feng was only rewarded with silver, but never received any promotion. Everyone knew it was because he was a man. In our dynasty, how could a man hold a higher official position than a woman?

The officials were puzzled as to why His Royal Highness the King of War was not given any reward.

Feng Zhaoyun was standing in the middle at this time. Seeing that the empress did not reward him, his face was calm and his expression was not disturbed.

General Xiao Yushan came out at this time. It had only been a few months, but she already had many white hairs in her hair.

Xiao Yushan: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has worked hard and made great contributions in this battle. He has completely wiped out the bandits and deserves a reward."

The Empress smiled. Xiao Yushan seemed quite protective of Yun'er. "War Prince Feng Zhaoyun! With his noble character and military achievements, he is truly a role model for all the other princesses. I wish to confer the title of Crown Princess. The enthronement ceremony will be held in three days. Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"

When these words came out, all the officials in the court were shocked and began to discuss with each other.

The three princesses' allies stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are still in good health. We, your humble servants, do not think it is necessary to hasten the enthronement of the Crown Princess. Although His Royal Highness the Prince of War has won great military honors, he has repeatedly acted without prior approval, defying the laws of our dynasty and acting recklessly. Your Majesty, please reconsider the matter concerning the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yushan angrily pointed his finger at the official, "Sir Li, conferring the title of Crown Princess will ensure the stability of the country, and you dared to stop it! What are your intentions?"

Lord Li panicked after hearing this, "General Xiao, I am a censor, and I am only speaking the truth."

Xiao Siying became anxious upon hearing this. She naturally stood on His Highness' side, kneeling down and clasping her fists. "Your Majesty, that bandit leader, Niu Ye, committed numerous crimes and was extremely rampant. She refused to confess her guilt at the scene. We were all present at the time, so her death was truly well deserved. If Your Highness had not killed her, I would have beheaded her with a single blow."

These words only added to the chaos, and showed that the War King was acting recklessly, even his own generals disobeying orders.

Xiao Yushan quickly signaled his niece to shut up and whispered, "Be mindful of your words and actions in front of His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess's followers quickly stepped forward and continued to make a fuss about it. "His Royal Highness the War Prince usually acts very domineeringly. Xiao Siying is his subordinate, yet he is so arrogant, speaking wildly in the palace! He disregards the law and orders, and there's no guarantee he's not influenced by His Royal Highness the War Prince. Your Majesty, please postpone the appointment of the Crown Princess."

Several censors stepped forward and said, "I second the motion!"

After hearing this, Xiao Siying's face flushed with anger. Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves to start a quarrel, Deputy General Xue suddenly grabbed his sleeve and quickly stopped him in a low voice, "Idiot! Don't cause trouble for His Highness. This is in the main hall."

The Queen looked at the kneeling people and knew that they wanted to support her daughter Feng Yaoxue. Even if Yun'er was still rampant, she tacitly approved of it, so she continued, "What about you?"

Xiao Yushan took the lead and knelt down. "I believe that His Royal Highness, the Prince of War, is a man of noble character and a role model for all the princesses. Although he executed them twice before reporting to the emperor, it is understandable. The first time, Governor Yang repeatedly attempted to assassinate His Royal Highness, defying the emperor's authority. If he was not executed, His Royal Highness's safety would be in jeopardy. The second time, the bandit leader was rampant. Executing him on the spot would calm the people's anger and stabilize their hearts. I believe that His Royal Highness, the Prince of War, is the best candidate for the Crown Princess."

The other officials stepped out and said, "We second this motion."

The only ones who didn't kneel at this time were Prime Minister Jiang and his group and Duke Feng. Prime Minister Jiang looked at Feng Zhaoyun and was really afraid. Seeing so many people, he knelt as well.

The Queen's lips curled slightly, it seemed that more than half of the court already supported Yun'er. "Since that is the case, Prince Zhan Feng Zhaoyun is to be named Crown Princess. The enthronement ceremony will be held in three days. No further discussion is allowed."

Everyone: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The officials also realized that His Majesty was determined to confer the title of War King. Feng Yaoxue hadn't been seen for a long time, and it was inevitable that she would not be in the court at this critical moment.

Feng Zhaoyun remained silent from beginning to end. After hearing the news of the canonization, he simply bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

She finally understood that in this era, without power and influence, one could only be at the mercy of others and could not protect the people around him. If one day she allowed someone else to ascend the throne, she and the people around her would surely suffer misfortune.

She originally just wanted to be a leisurely princess and enjoy the life of a princess, but she was repeatedly assassinated and almost lost her life. She lost her power and could not even protect the people around her.

Seeing her so sensible, the Queen nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's all for today. Let's adjourn the court."

Zhou Fuhai came out and shouted, "Withdraw from the court!"

Everyone kowtowed and sent the Queen off respectfully.
