Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Sirong held her forehead and asked weakly, "Who did you beat up?"

"Hehe, the nephew of Concubine Yu."

Si Rong pointed her finger at him speechlessly: "Why are you provoking him for no reason? He's the only child in their family, and he's been spoiled like a lawless child. Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?"

Concubine Yu's brother is the Prime Minister Yu of the current dynasty, who holds great power and is the only son in the family.

Muchen spread his hands and said, "I can't do anything about it. This is what happened. That bastard Yu Zehao humiliated me in the street, and then he got physical with me while we were arguing."

Thinking of something, Mu Chen rummaged through his pockets for a long time and took out an envelope: "Here, my appointment letter. I'm here to supervise you now."

Sirong took it and opened the sealed envelope. It was indeed a letter of appointment - military supervisor.

"Were you banished here?"

"Yes, my cousin the Crown Prince pleaded for mercy, so the Emperor sent me here."

Sirong held the appointment letter and looked at Muchen with amusement.

"The Emperor must have thought that our two families had become enemies after the breakup of the engagement."

"That's right. I guess that old guy is thinking that. Otherwise, he would never agree to let me come. I guess he also thought I could come over and trip you up or something.

But let me correct you, our two families haven't broken off the engagement." Muchen threw the paperweight back on the table and looked at Sirong very seriously.

Sirong was stunned for a moment. "No, I can't. When I went to deliver the engagement token, my uncle and aunt said they respected my choice and that it was up to us to decide, right?"

"So, you returned my token, and did I return it to you?"

"Uh~ I left in a hurry, and I thought my aunt would return the keepsake to my mother later."

They were in a hurry to rush to the northern border at that time, but the cancellation of the engagement was caused by Sijia's failure to keep the promise, so Sirong must go in person to apologize. She thought that the subsequent matters would naturally be handled by Aunt Mu and her mother.

The Great Qi Dynasty still attaches great importance to a woman's chastity. If Sirong wanted to take charge of the Zhenbei Army, she had to be prepared to face rumors.

If she eats and sleeps with men on the battlefield, how can she maintain her reputation? Naturally, the marriage with the Yong'an Duke's Mansion must be cancelled.

Rather than waiting until rumors are flying around and then being broken off, it is better to break off the engagement on your own initiative, so as not to bring trouble to the Duke's Mansion. After all, the two families have always had a good relationship.

Mu Chen propped his chin with his right hand and said with a forced smile: "Is there a possibility that the "we" they said "let us choose for ourselves" also has another me inside it?"

As he spoke, he took out a pair of jade pendants from his waist and waved them in front of Sirong.

It was a pair of double-ring jade pendants, the very token of their engagement. The design was exquisite, with a large ring enclosing a smaller one, allowing them to be worn separately or together.

"I won't return the tokens to you. It's safer to keep both of them with me."

Sirong raised her eyebrows and looked at him, waiting for what to say next.

Muchen felt guilty when she looked at him, and he no longer concealed it: "We broke off the engagement. My cousin got wind of it in advance. The Prime Minister was taking action against the imperial examinations. I was in charge of this matter as a humble minister, so I found an excuse to have a fight with his son, and was demoted here."

The political situation has been turbulent in recent years. As the old emperor's health has deteriorated, some people can no longer bear it.

His Majesty the current Emperor has six sons, four of whom are adult princes. The Crown Prince is the second oldest and the legitimate son of the Empress.

The eldest prince, Prince An, has foreign ancestry, his pupils are of different colors, and his mother is a princess who was married off to a foreign country.

The third prince, Prince Kang, was born to Consort Liang in the palace. He was born with a leg disease and had difficulty walking. He was obsessed with calligraphy and painting every day.

The fourth prince, Prince Ning, was born to a palace maid of low status and died of illness shortly after giving birth. From a young age, Prince Ning was deprived of his mother's protection and love, suffering neglect and bullying. His survival in the harem was a miracle.

The other two princes are not yet adults. The fifth prince is six years old this year and is the son of the most favored Concubine Yu. The sixth prince is two years old and his mother is Concubine Yue, who comes from a family of military generals.

The old emperor is no longer in his prime, and his several princes are also ready to make a move.

Who wouldn't be tempted by the throne? If you were a commoner, you wouldn't dream of it, but as a grown prince, it's only a step away. No matter how much advantage you have, you'll feel that if you fight for it, it might be yours.

After all, the prince is not liked by the emperor, and the queen's family is powerful. The old emperor became emperor with the help of the power of the queen's mother's family.

After ascending the throne, he was constrained in every way. He was unable to deal with the Queen's mother's family, which made him very upset.

If you love a house, you love everyone in it; if you hate a house, you hate everyone in it too. Therefore, the prince has not been liked by the emperor since he was a child.

The queen's mother's family is none other than the Yong'an Duke's Mansion.

However, the queen is clear-headed and always knows what she wants. It can be said that a woman who is not obsessed with love is invincible in whatever she wants.

In history, how many families gave up everything to help the emperor ascend the throne, but ended up with the good bow hidden and the running dog cooked.

However, after the emperor ascended the throne, the queen managed to save her family and even made her son the crown prince.

Even if the emperor disliked her, what could he do? He couldn't get rid of her. What she wanted was the position of the mother of a country, the safety of her family, the health of her son, and finally, the throne of empress dowager to enjoy her old age.

All that love and romance, get away from me.

"It's a good thing you're here. I don't have to arrange for someone to deliver it to the capital." Then he handed him the soap recipe.

The masters of large families would not do business themselves, but usually leave it to their servants.

Sirong was thinking about who would be the most suitable person to take on. After her father fell into a coma, her mother's main focus was on him, and if she was given the responsibility, she would probably be too busy to handle it.

These prescriptions will bring huge benefits and must be handed over to people you can trust.

Rather than saying that Muchen is Sirong’s fiancé, it would be better to say that he is Sirong’s best friend.

The two of them have been getting into trouble together since they were young. The Duke and his wife chose Sirong as their daughter-in-law. Some of them thought that the two families were well-matched, and some also thought that Sirong could control Muchen.

Sirong's situation was even simpler. Before her father had the accident, although he was more indulgent towards her than other daughters, she also knew that she had to get married when she reached age.

Rather than marrying a bookworm she didn't know who found fault with her and set rules for her every day, it would be better to marry into the Mu family. Aunt Mu was very open-minded, and Mu Chen didn't dare to act rudely with her because he couldn't beat her with force.

Moreover, the two families have always had a good personal relationship, so it is okay to give the recipe to Muchen.

Although Muchen appears to be a dandy young man in front of others, these are actually all illusions. As the old emperor's fear of the Yong'an Mansion grows, Muchen and his brother Muyang have hidden their edge.

The eldest brother Mu Yang needs to inherit the title of Duke in the future, so he cannot have any big stains, so he has established a dull personality. Mu Chen, on the other hand, is uneducated and carefree.
