Bai Can nodded and followed the young eunuch to the palace.

Yun Hua held a banquet in the palace to reward meritorious soldiers. The banquet was very grand, and the former court and the harem were all present.

Bai Can's seat was still the first one on Yun Hua's right.

Winter had already arrived, so everyone had a small copper pot on their table. Winter was perfect for hot pot meals. The banquet was naturally filled with singing and dancing, and Bai Can enjoyed the feast while enjoying himself.

You can't tell at all that he is the famous and powerful general.

"Your Majesty, we are tired of watching the same singing and dancing at banquets every year. Today we want to reward the meritorious soldiers and have fun with the people. Why don't we let the sisters show off their talents and entertain the soldiers?" The Queen suggested.

"Since the Queen has made such a suggestion, why not let her take the lead?" Yun Hua looked at the Queen.

"I'm not very good at anything else, but my father has praised my calligraphy." The Queen wasn't shy and immediately had a desk with writing brushes and ink set up.

The four characters "勇冠三军" are written in a flowing and graceful manner. The Queen's calligraphy is indeed good.

"Okay, General Bai deserves these four words." Yun Hua looked at Ye Long with great joy.

"Today, all officials can bring their families, and both men and women can come forward to show off. A few days ago, I got a wolf-hair brush, so let's use it as a prize." Yun Hua said this, and everyone else began to be eager to try.

"I happen to have a gentleman's inkstone, which I would like to add as a lucky charm. What do you think, Your Majesty?" The Queen looked at Yun Hua.

"The Queen is willing to give up her love, it all depends on who is so lucky today."

With the Emperor and Empress offering a prize, more and more people, regardless of their motivations, stepped forward to demonstrate their talents. Even Bai Can was mesmerized by Concubine Zhao's sword dance, deeming it the best of the show.

Everyone's praise made Concubine Zhao very proud.

"The sword dance of the imperial concubine is truly amazing, but the beauty of the dance lacks the sharpness of the sword. I have heard that General Bai, with a sword, can raise dust and kill the enemy soldiers. He can take the enemy general's head among thousands of soldiers. I wonder if I have the honor to witness it with my own eyes." The person who spoke was wearing a lake blue imperial concubine's palace dress. She had a beautiful face and a gentle temperament.

"This is Empress Defei, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. She has been in the palace for less than a month." The young eunuch beside her introduced her to Bai Can in time.

Bai Can turned his head to look at Yun Hua.

"Your Majesty also wants to see it?"

"I don't want to!" Yun Hua said immediately. This Defei usually looks very smart and clever. If you saw it with your own eyes, how could Bai Can kill him in public?

Yun Hua's words had just fallen.

"Swish~" a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a chopstick passed through the neck of Concubine De and pierced into the tree trunk in the distance, with the whole chopstick embedded in it.

A bloody mark appeared on Concubine De's neck, but her skin was not broken.

"General, what do you mean?" The feeling of being on the verge of death made Concubine De tremble all over. She raised her trembling hand and pointed at Bai Can, questioning him harshly.

"Isn't that what Her Majesty wants to see? Perhaps the chopsticks can appear between Her Majesty's eyebrows?" Bai Can asked sincerely.

"Your Majesty." Concubine De was about to complain to Yun Hua.

"Since Concubine De behaved improperly in front of the emperor, her title will be stripped off, she will be demoted to a beauty, moved to a side hall of Youhe Palace, and confined to her house for three months to serve as a warning to others." Yun Hua gave the order directly.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine De couldn't believe that the Emperor was actually standing on Bai Can's side!

Bai Can glanced at Yun Hua lightly. This man's judgment of others was getting worse every year.

"!" Yun Hua was shocked by what he saw. Is he still not satisfied?

"What do you think, General Bai?" Yun Hua asked.

"The affairs of the harem are the emperor's family affairs. I am not in a position to say much." This was the first time that Bai Can met this Defei. Her words were inexplicable. He didn't know who instigated her or if she had other purposes. These would be investigated later.

As for how the emperor would deal with her, she was the emperor's woman, and as an outsider, there was no need for her to say anything.

After this incident, no one came forward to show off.

Today, I will tell you all that General Bai Can is in the Emperor's heart. One of the Four Concubines can be dismissed at will. Because Bai Can is a woman, there has been speculation in the imperial court and harem about whether the Emperor is going to take her into the harem.

Can the emperor really feel at ease if he doesn't take such a powerful person into the harem?

While everyone was watching, Bai Can went to guard the border!

Yun Hua was a good emperor. He knew his responsibilities and would never indulge in petty love affairs. Furthermore, Bai Can was such a person that using petty love affairs to bind her would only backfire. The harem didn't lack a woman, but the Yun Kingdom couldn't do without General Bai Can!

The fate of Li Country caused the surrounding countries to give up their thoughts. Although there was only one Bai Can, they also had their own ulterior motives. How could they sacrifice themselves to hold Bai Can back and benefit other countries? Therefore, with Bai Can's protection, Yun Country ushered in a period of peaceful development.

The Queen and Concubine Shu gave birth to princes one after another, ensuring the succession of the country. The Yun Kingdom developed steadily under Yun Hua's governance.

Bai Can even proposed to establish a military academy. Yun State has Bai Can, but it cannot have only Bai Can.

A military academy directly under the royal family, Yun Hua is the principal and Bai Can is in charge of the management.

When the first batch of military academy students graduated, the Yun Kingdom began to conquer all directions.

It took ten years to sweep away the eight countries, and the entire Central Plains continent came under the control of Yun Kingdom.

Bai Can returned the military power and concentrated on being an instructor at the military academy.

On New Year’s Eve, Bai Can entered the palace to attend the banquet.

"Teacher." The eldest prince and the second prince have grown up. Yun Hua has asked Bai Can to teach them since they were six years old.

Yun Hua was delighted to see them both grow up to be so elegant and graceful. He couldn't help but admire his own discerning eye. The little beggar struggling to make a living in a dilapidated temple was now the God of War of the Yun Kingdom. It could be said that she had helped build this vast kingdom.

As the territory of Yun Kingdom expanded, Yun Hua was busy with government affairs and rarely stepped into the harem. Eighteen years later, in addition to the eldest prince and the second prince, he now had two princes and three princesses.

The Third Prince was ten years old, and the Fourth Prince was just six. The Eldest Princess was twelve, and the Second and Third Princesses were twins, eight years old. The First and Second Princes had precedent.

When the prince and princess turned six, Yun Hua sent them to Bai Can for instruction.

Today Bai Can went to the palace for a banquet, and the four princes and three princesses came forward to pay their respects to Bai Can.

In this world, apart from the emperor and their mother, only Bai Can could accept their gifts so calmly. Bai Can was in a good mood when he saw several disciples.

Because of Bai Can's achievements, Bai Shouli got Yun Hua's permission last year to retire to the mountains and marry a hunter's daughter. Last month, Bai Can's nephew and niece were born, and the Bai family's incense continued.

In the early years, some people always thought that Yun Hua had other intentions towards Bai Can, but more than ten years later, Bai Can led his men to conquer this vast territory.

Others kept petitioning, fearing that Bai Can's achievements would overshadow his own. As a result, Bai Can immediately surrendered his military power.

As the military academy became more and more famous, everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie. This time, without waiting for them to write a petition, Bai Can was about to resign. Now, how could Yun Hua let Bai Can go on without any care? He directly investigated those who were planning to make a small move and write a petition.

Confiscation of property and exile also enriched the national treasury.

As Yun Hua sent the princes and princesses to Bai Can for instruction, no one dared to provoke Bai Can anymore.

Therefore, Bai Can lived a very comfortable life.

No one bothered her anymore when she attended palace banquets.

And tonight's palace banquet is a warm-up for next year's talent show.

The girls were particularly enthusiastic in showing off their talents tonight. After all, next year's talent show was mainly to decide on the candidates for the first and second prince's wives.

The Emperor, in his prime, had not yet chosen a crown prince, but the eldest prince was the legitimate son of the Empress, a man of refined talent, both civil and military, who had entered the court this year, acting with composure and a good sense of proportion. The Emperor had praised him several times.

The Second Prince was also a man of great stature and a modest gentleman. Even if he could not ascend to the throne in the future, he would still be an excellent husband candidate in the hearts of many women.

"What do you think, Can?" Yun Hua looked at Bai Can, who was yawning out of boredom, chuckled, and then asked.

"I have a very good understanding of music, so I really can't give you any good suggestions." Bai Can said bluntly.

"But I did stumble upon a few strange things."

"Tell me, what could possibly be considered a strange thing?"
