The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Xiao Yuxi was so startled that she hurriedly went to find someone to come over.

The eldest sister had just dismissed the servants; she needed to find them.

Mu Yunshang grabbed the little girl's hand and pulled her back.

"do not go."

She doesn't look right in the way others are seeing her.

Little Yu Xi cried out in distress, "Big sister, you're bleeding!"

Looking at her clothes with a slight sheen of blood, Mu Yunshang felt that she must have treated her wounds many times before.

But upon closer reflection, it had never happened before.

From childhood to adulthood, she diligently studied music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and learned about female virtues and precepts. In Yunnan, when they got injured in fights, they would avoid her. How could she have ever bandaged someone's wounds?

Mu Yunshang straightened up, leaning against the artificial hill, and took the little girl's hand, "Go change your clothes first."

As Xiao Yuxi walked, she looked at her older sister with concern.

Mu Yunshang pulled Xiao Yuxi around the crowd and entered the side courtyard through the side gate.

"Why doesn't big sister want anyone to see her? Is someone trying to harm her?" Xiao Yuxi carefully clutched the corner of her older sister's dress, looking very worried.

"No," Mu Yunshang said, untying her clothes and re-wrapping the cloth. "The imperial physicians are waiting at the palace banquet. If the maids see us, it will surely cause a panic. It's better to treat this simply and call the imperial physicians after the banquet."

Xiao Yuxi stared intently at the sword wound on her older sister's chest. "If Aunt knew that my older sister was hiding her injury from the imperial physician, she would be very sad."

"Big sister, please don't hold back your tears, okay?" Xiao Yuxi silently wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "Shall we call the imperial physician over?"

Mu Yunshang changed her clothes and wiped away the little girl's tears.

"The bleeding has stopped, don't cry. Big sister will take you to see the koi, okay?"

This should be halfway through the palace banquet, so there's no need to go back now.

“Okay.” Xiao Yuxi held her older sister’s hand and followed closely behind, occasionally looking up to check on her.

The Imperial Garden was quiet and still, presumably because the banquet was still in progress.

"Big sister, is Yan Fei still bullying you?"

Yu Xi also saw Consort Yan at the palace banquet today, but Consort Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, just sat quietly.

“As I said before, in your eyes, that’s not bullying. She’s quite pitiful in this palace.” Mu Yunshang smiled and taught Xixi to scatter fish food into the small pond.

Xie Yaochuan sat in the tree. When the prince of Nasha Kingdom was having a banquet, he made an excuse to leave the palace banquet. He was still a general in Nasha Kingdom, and he didn't want to be bothered for no reason, so he simply hid away.

I never expected that the little girl from the Mu family would also be brought out.

But the girl next to her, she called her "big sister"?

Although he had never met the eldest daughter of the Mu family, as the Empress, she shouldn't be dressed like this on such a day, right?

Strangely enough, he grew up with Mu Yunchao and often visited the Mu family. He even met all the maids in the Mu family. But every time he went to the Mu family, the eldest daughter was always busy. Even until she got married, he still didn't know what this most talented woman in the capital looked like.

According to Yun Chao, his sister looks very much like him.

Xie Yaochuan looked at the girl with the gentle smile and curved eyebrows, and then thought about Mu Yunchao's appearance.

Ok……

Such a delicate face, and an air of scholarly refinement about her.

It's definitely not the eldest daughter of the Mu family.

I wonder which family's daughter she is that the little girl is so close to.

Mu Yunshang raised her head in confusion and looked around. She had a feeling that someone was watching her.

Remembering what the maid had said yesterday about two people dying tragically in the Mu family, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

All was quiet, and the night was dark and windy—a perfect opportunity to strike.

Today could actually be called a moon-viewing banquet, but the moon is obscured by clouds and fog, and it's unclear when the fog will clear.

Given the Empress Dowager's temperament, she might really have to wait until very late.

Xie Yaochuan was startled by her gaze, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to leave and return to the palace banquet.

This girl looks quite young, probably an unmarried young woman. If someone sees him here, it will be bad for her reputation, so it's best to avoid running into him.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the Fifth Prince of Nasha presenting gifts to the Emperor.

The fifth prince of Nasha said with a smile, "Nasha Kingdom still intends to befriend Yue Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned extremely cold.

If they truly intended to befriend the Yue Kingdom, they wouldn't have harmed the Empress Dowager and Empress.

Everyone knows the truth, but we still need to maintain a facade.

"Actually, our country has another idea for coming to the Moon Kingdom this time." The Fifth Prince of Nasha smiled and looked at the emperor sitting on the high place.

"Nasha intends to establish a marriage alliance with the Yue Kingdom and forge lasting friendship. I wonder what the Emperor of the Yue Kingdom thinks?"

The Emperor frowned. In the past life, the marriage alliance was a last resort. In this life, the Yue Kingdom has gained the upper hand. How dare they still bring up the marriage alliance?

That's really hilarious.

"I think this matter is inappropriate."

The Fifth Prince of Nasha was taken aback by the rejection. He thought this emperor was an easy target, just like before, but it turned out he had changed. It must have been the Mu family who taught him this.

The Fifth Prince of Nasha smiled without any concern, “Your Majesty has misunderstood. What Nasha means is that Nasha will present Your Majesty with Nasha’s most beautiful treasures, and Your Majesty will then bestow upon a princess to marry into Nasha’s family.”

Mu Yunnan slammed his cup on the table. "Fifth Prince, are you really dreaming? After so many defeats, you still want the princess of Yue Kingdom? Have you been drinking too much and gotten drunk?"

“General Mu is as hot-tempered as ever. War between two countries is exhausting and costly. No matter how much the Yue Kingdom wins, the number of casualties will only increase. This time, Nasha is willing to seek peace, but General Mu is so aggressive. Isn’t it possible that the peace talks between the two countries are affecting General Mu’s career?” The seventh prince of Nasha, sitting to the side, spoke with a sly smile, like an old fox.

Mu Yunnan suddenly stood up, "Nonsense!"

"Oh, I almost forgot, General Mu is a woman. If she misses the opportunity to fight between the two countries, she may really not have a chance to become a general and will have to obediently go back to get married and raise children."

Mu Yunchao stood up and directly stopped Yunnan's rage, "Even if Yunnan weren't a general now, the Mu family wouldn't force her to marry. She was born for the battlefield, she has freedom, and she has the right to choose."

The Emperor also spoke with a cold laugh, "I have witnessed General Mu's achievements. Even if the two countries are at peace, she is still the Grand General of the Moon Kingdom. Whether she wants a career or to protect the land and people of the Moon Kingdom, I know better than your Sand Kingdom."
