After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Liuzhu bowed her head respectfully and replied, "Princess, His Majesty and Prince Chong'an and his wife have gone to Xuanzheng Hall."

Hearing this, Fu Anle nodded slightly. After thinking for a moment, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said, "Let's go! Let's join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Liuzhu frowned slightly and tried to dissuade him, "Princess, His Majesty and the others may be discussing important matters right now. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to go there now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Anle playfully turned her head to look at Liu Zhu, blinked, and asked, "What do you think of my performance at the banquet today?"

Liuzhu was shocked and recalled the thrilling scene at today's banquet.

If Princess Chong'an had not intervened today, the princess would have been whipped as well.

But today, the princess offended the grand elder of Qingyun Sect because of Prince Chong'an, and the emperor was not displeased at all. I think he was very happy that the princess could help Prince Chong'an.

In fact, since the princess returned to the palace from Prince Chong'an's Mansion last time, her attitude towards Prince Chong'an has changed drastically.

Liuzhu knew very well why the princess had changed so much, but no one else knew.

Especially after what happened today, I believe the harem will also know the changes in the princess.

Liuzhu suppressed her thoughts and replied respectfully, "The princess performed very well today. You are smart and brave. You are admirable."

Upon hearing this, Fu Anle chuckled, her face filled with pride, and said proudly, "Since this princess has performed so well today, shouldn't I ask my father for a reward?"

Liuzhu's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she asked in surprise, "Princess, what reward do you want from His Majesty?"

Fu Anle smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret~"

After saying this, she turned around and strode towards the Xuanzheng Hall. Seeing this, Liuzhu quickly called for the palace maids to follow her.

The atmosphere in Xuanzheng Hall was solemn.

Fu Ming sat upright in the main seat, looking at Jiang Yun with deep eyes, and asked, "I didn't know that Lord Jiang had such extraordinary means."

Before Jiang Yun could reply, Fu Xuanyu spoke first, his tone filled with urgency: "Father, Ayun did this for me. If you are angry, just punish me."

Fu Ming seemed not to hear what Fu Xuanyu said and just stared at Jiang Yun.

Fu Ming seemed not to hear what Fu Xuanyu said and continued to stare at Jiang Yun.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun stepped forward, bowed, and said frankly, "Your Majesty, I did not intend to hide anything from you. I was forced to punish them today."

Fu Ming was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Do you know what consequences our Qifeng Nation will face if we offend the Qingyun Sect?"

Jiang Yun nodded, his expression firm: "I know it clearly in my heart."

"Then how dare you be so rude?" Fu Ming's tone was filled with blame.

Jiang Yun looked up at Fu Ming, a playful smile playing on his lips. He said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Black Turtle Kingdom has already begun to raise an army, and the soon-to-be-appointed prince of the Crouching Tiger Kingdom has always advocated for expanding the territory. Regardless of whether we offend the Qingyun Sect today, our Qifeng Kingdom will face attacks from both the Crouching Tiger and the Black Turtle Kingdoms."

Furthermore, over the past decade, our country has been plagued by droughts and floods, leaving the treasury empty and our military inadequate. If we were to offer our treasury to the Qingyun Sect in exchange for protection, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to supply our army with food. That would truly put our Qifeng Nation on the brink of disaster!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ming's expression became more serious.

How could he not know what Jiang Yun said?

But faced with this dilemma, he couldn't find a way out for a while.

Whether it is to empty the national treasury and offer it to Qingyun Sect, or to offend Qingyun Sect, Qifeng Kingdom will face the destruction of the country and a dead end.

Fu Ming sighed, "Yes! You are right, but if we offend Qingyun Sect today, Qifeng Nation will be dead in a year. If we can offer it to Qingyun Sect, Qifeng Nation may still have a chance of survival."

Jiang Yun nodded, "Yes! But what if I say that within this year, we can build an army for Qifeng Nation that is as powerful as Qingyun Sect? Then, whether it's Xuangui Nation, Wohu Nation, or Qingyun Sect, our Qifeng Nation will no longer have to fear them."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ming stood up in shock, his eyes widened, and asked, "What?"

He stared at Jiang Yun blankly and asked, "Are you serious?"

Fu Xuanyu also listened to Jiang Yun's words nervously, his eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Yun nodded confidently and said, "Seriously!"

Fu Ming thought of the extraordinary strength that Jiang Yun had just demonstrated, and immediately believed what Jiang Yun said.

He immediately sat back down and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! Good, very good!"

Seeing this, Fu Xuanyu said, "Father, if you want Ayun to reorganize and train the soldiers, you must give Ayun an official title to prevent the soldiers from disobeying you."

Fu Ming nodded and looked at Jiang Yun with a look of satisfaction. "Don't worry, Yun'er. I'm not that pedantic. How about appointing you as the Grand Commander?"

Governor?

That is an official position that can be in charge of the soldiers of the whole country and can dispatch any soldiers at will. It is the highest official rank among military officers.

No one had ever held this position before, and everyone tacitly agreed that this position was nominal, but now it was conferred on Jiang Yun.

Fu Xuanyu could already imagine the shock the whole country felt after hearing the news.

He couldn't help but curl his lips, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Jiang Yun was also very satisfied with this official position. She immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "I am willing! Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fu Ming nodded and immediately summoned Jinzhong into the palace to draft an edict and announce it to the world.

Just at this time, Fu Anle brought Liuzhu and others to the outside of Xuanzheng Hall.

When Fu Anle arrived, Jinzhong was reading the imperial edict aloud in the hall.

She stood outside the door, stunned as she listened.

After Jinzhong finished reading, she turned to look at Liuzhu beside her and asked, "Did I hear correctly? Did the emperor appoint my sister-in-law as the Grand Commander?"

Liuzhu also nodded in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise.

Fu Anle suddenly laughed softly, his eyes filled with stars, and said, "Well done! Really well done!"

She instructed the eunuch beside her, "Go and tell them that the princess wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch bowed and went into the hall to report.

Fu Ming heard the eunuch's announcement and raised his eyebrows, asking, "Why is she here?"

The young eunuch said respectfully, "I don't know. The princess only said she wanted to see His Majesty."

Fu Ming glanced at Fu Xuanyu, and his expression softened instantly when he thought of how Chang Ning had defended Fu Xuanyu in the palace today. "Summon her into the palace!"

The young eunuch bowed and accepted the order, then walked out of the hall in small steps.

Fu Ming then looked at Fu Xuanyu and Jiang Yun and said, "Changning has indeed changed a lot since he came out of confinement. I think he is willing to be close to you now. I just hope that you and your sister can get along well."
