After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

The arrival of Chen Futu delighted Zhang Liang and the generals. Qin Liangyu also quickly stood up, her eyes filled with joy. However, when she saw Xuanyuan Rong, who was following Chen Futu with his hair tied up in a woman's bun, her smile froze on her face.

Li Xiuning subtly tugged at her hand, and she finally snapped out of her daze, forcing a smile as she greeted Xuan Yuanrong.

Xuanyuan Rong bit his lip and stepped forward to bow, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

Qin Liangyu nodded and transmitted her voice to Chen Futu, saying, "Your Majesty is in high spirits. While we are fighting to the death in the Western Regions, you are enjoying yourself so much in the rear that you have forgotten all about home, haven't you?"

"Um, well... honey, can we have a meeting first?"

Chen Futu felt a little embarrassed in front of Qin Liangyu; he didn't want to be humiliated in front of so many people.

"Alright, I hope Your Majesty will give me an explanation later."

Qin Liangyu referred to herself as "your subject" at this moment, clearly indicating that she was angry.

Every dynasty has its own rules. As the empress, Chen Futu could have any woman he liked, but only with her consent. Now, Chen Futu had taken Xuan Yuanrong without a word, which undoubtedly showed that he did not respect her as the empress.

She wasn't the type of woman to be jealous or quarrelsome, but she still respected the rules, so a thorn remained in her side.

The war meeting continued, but Zhang Liang, sensing the tense atmosphere, took over the chairmanship from Qin Liangyu.

Chen Futu remained silent throughout, standing beside Qin Liangyu and secretly observing her expression. He saw that she had a stern face and her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

Chen Futu carefully tried to hook her finger, but she dodged it.

After the war meeting ended, Zhang Liang gave a signal, and the generals all ran away in a panic. Dian Wei was about to say something when Luo Wushuang dragged him out of the tent, and Xuan Yuanrong was also pulled away by Li Xiuning.

Soon only Chen Futu and Qin Liangyu remained in the tent. The latter sat by the commander's desk, looking at the map without saying a word. Chen Futu said sullenly, "Wife, are you really angry?"

"Your Majesty is the ruler of Lizhou, how dare I overstep my bounds?"

"Well, I admit I couldn't control myself."

"You were quite honest this time. Tell me more about it."

"All right……"

Chen Futu solemnly explained the current situation of the Xuanyuan family.

Upon hearing this, Qin Liangyu raised her eyes and said, "The Xuanyuan family is certainly acting out of righteousness. I can understand that the clan has lost its sage and wants descendants of the Dragon Emperor's blood to support the clan. But if they want the bloodline, why don't they come to me on their own initiative? Is this a sign that they look down on me?"

"I just made a mistake that any man would make."

Chen Futu's frankness bordered on shamelessness, and his words made Qin Liangyu want to grind her teeth to pieces. "Get out of here!"

The sound startled Zhang Liang and the others who were eavesdropping outside, causing them to shrink back. The generals all grimaced, wanting to laugh but daring not to.

Your Majesty is good in every way, except that you lack self-control.

Moreover, His Majesty seems to be a bit afraid of his wife, but that's fine too, at least there's someone who can keep him in check.

"No, no, no, honey, don't be angry."

Chen Futu scurried around to Qin Liangyu's back, smiling and massaging her shoulders. "Wife, I have no intention of taking Xuanyuan Rong into the palace, nor is it appropriate. She just wants to support the Xuanyuan family. I am doing this out of a sense of justice."

"you……"

Qin Liangyu was so angry she laughed. Of course, she knew that the Holy Emperor loved her the most. No matter how domineering he was outside, he was always gentle in front of her. And how come she never noticed before that His Majesty was so shameless?

For the rest of the time, Chen Futu stayed by his side, serving him tea and water and coaxing him, like a persistent leech.

Qin Liangyu had no choice but to calm down.

Zhang Liang, who was outside, heard that the noise inside the tent had gradually subsided, and quickly signaled the generals who were craning their necks to listen to the wall to disperse and go about their business.

Dian Wei didn't want to leave, claiming he wanted to protect the Emperor's safety, but Luo Wushuang grabbed his ear and dragged him away.

"His Majesty needs your protection? You idiot."

"Although I can't beat His Majesty, I am his personal bodyguard... Ouch, my wife, be gentle, my ear is going to fall off."

Dian Wei and his wife were also quite pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Liang said to Zhao Yun, who was wiping his spear, "General Zhao, do you have a girl you fancy? You can ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage later."

Zhao Yun said, "The country is not yet settled, how can I start a family? I have no plans to marry at the moment."

"General Zhao is a man of great talent. After Lizhou is unified, we can ask Her Majesty the Empress to help you with your fortune telling."

Zhang Liang held Zhao Yun in high regard; among the generals of the Great Xia, few were as steady and reliable as Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun did not refuse upon hearing this, and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly bumped into a girl carrying candied hawthorns.

Chen Ranran was dazed from the impact. She looked up at the imposing general, then her eyes widened. "You're Zhao Yun?"

Zhao Yun clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Indeed."

Wow, you really are Zhao Yun!

Chen Ranran clenched her fists excitedly, leaned forward, and her eyes sparkled.

During this period, after Chen Yuling took everyone to tour the capital, she brought Chen Ranran, who worked in the imperial court, to the Western Regions. Fortunately, Chen Ranran gave the court some regulations and suggestions for building academies.

She had barely arrived in the Western Regions when she ran into Zhao Yun; how could she not be excited?

Just as Zhao Yun was about to speak again, Chen Ranran immediately pulled an awkward move. She grabbed Zhao Yun's spear and waved it around haphazardly, muttering, "With unwavering loyalty, I quell the chaos of the world; with this spear in hand, I will secure the realm!"

This scene left the departing generals frozen in place, so embarrassed they wanted to dig their toes out two miles deep.

Even Chen Yuling, who was standing next to Huo Qubing, covered her face, unable to bear to look.

What surprised everyone the most was that Zhao Yun seriously helped Chen Ranran adjust her stance with the spear, saying, "Raise your wrist a little higher, straighten your waist and hips, sharpen your eyes... Hmm, that's about right."

Cao Zhen was wiping his knife not far away, grinning from ear to ear.

Zhao Yun, this taciturn man, actually has such an exaggerated side.

Xiao Bai, munching on a steamed bun, pouted and said, "Tch, these two are even dumber than me. I'll just keep eating!"

Li Xiuning also remarked with emotion, "It seems General Zhao's marriage is no longer a worry."

In the following time, Chen Ranran followed Zhao Yun to learn spear techniques.

Anyone with eyes could see that her request to learn spear techniques was a pretense; she had her eye on Zhao Yun.

Inside the tent, Chen Futu also sensed what was happening outside, but he was too lazy to care; his soft, gentle wife was still the best.

the next morning.

Chen Futu did not send Qin Liangyu to the battlefield, but instead held her hand and toured the various military camps.

At this moment, all the armies had already set off, and Chen Ranran followed Zhao Yun to the battlefield without saying a word.

"She forgets her old love as soon as she finds a new one. How come I didn't know Ranran was the type to forget her lover for the sake of beauty?"

Hua Hua squatted at the camp entrance, ranting and raving, while Xiao Bai ignored her and kept pulling buns out of the magical cauldron and stuffing them into his mouth, saying, "I'm still eating!"
