Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

The woman before me exuded an air of nobility; she must be the daughter of some nobleman.

She asked Ye Li, "Which family's daughter are you?"

Ye Li was unable to speak, a fact known to the people in the palace. Therefore, the eunuch who led her into the palace said:

"Oh my, this is the newly appointed general's wife. This is her first time attending a palace banquet."

The woman in red asked curiously, "Mo Chen's wife? I've never heard of General Mo Chen marrying a noblewoman from a high-ranking family. Have you heard about it?"

The women beside the woman in red also shook their heads.

"Wasn't the general assassinated recently?"

The eunuch smiled obsequiously and said, "You esteemed guests, you may not know this, but this lady was rescued by the general on the way. Later, the general was injured, and His Majesty, in his benevolence, bestowed this marriage upon the two of them to bring good fortune..."

The eunuch glanced at Ye Li, then respectfully lowered his head again. If Ye Li hadn't seen the smirk on his lips, she might have really thought he was voluntarily explaining things to her...

"This lady is truly blessed. She has been mute since childhood and cannot speak. It was this assassination attempt that turned out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing her to marry the general..."

Ye Li couldn't speak, but the eunuch calmly continued, though his explanation essentially revealed Ye Li's predicament...

The woman in red was surprised: "You're mute?"

Ye Li looked at her calmly and nodded.

"Hahahahaha..." The woman in red laughed wildly, mocking him without a care in the world.

"You're actually mute... My father said that Mo Chen's hand is probably crippled. He was originally a very good husband candidate, but now that he's disabled, it's just a temporary cover-up..."

"I didn't expect that as soon as he found out he was disabled, he would rush to grab someone to marry. You two, one mute and one disabled, are actually quite a good match."

Ye Li was slightly moved as she listened to the woman's unrestrained sarcasm. She gleaned a piece of information from this woman.

Someone was watching them; at least they knew that Mo Chen's hand was temporarily injured.

Fortunately, Mo Chen wasn't invited today.

I was trying to keep it a secret, but now that it's really happening, there's no way to hide it anymore...

The woman in red looked at her with a mocking gaze: "Hey, little mute, do you know that Mo Chen used to be the dream lover of many young ladies? You really hit the jackpot by marrying him."

"Someone as thin as you probably wouldn't want to marry you..."

"Thinking about it this way, they really are a good match, hahaha."

The woman in red spoke arrogantly, and the women around her fawned over her, speaking ill of Ye Li.

Ye Li couldn't understand it. Were the nobles really so full and bored that they had nothing better to do?

Did they come here specifically to mock themselves?

Ye Li didn't want to pay attention, but just as the eunuch was urging her to hurry up and pay her respects to the Empress, she was about to leave when Annie, whom she was holding, woke up. She looked at the colorful sphere opposite her and said:

"Stop making so much noise, you bunch of gossipy women! If you keep making noise, I'll scratch all your faces!"

The cat Annie's voice was incomprehensible to others, so all the women saw was a head suddenly popping out from the fabric that had been hoarded in Ye Li's arms!

It meowed.

They were startled, but then they looked closer and their eyes lit up!

Such a rare golden tiger!

Ordinary golden tigers have short fur, but this one looks like a lion with long fur! Moreover, it has a ring of long white fur around its neck, like it's wearing a scarf, which is truly rare!

Previously, Ye Li was holding the kitten Annie, whose head was buried in her arms, so everyone assumed that she was holding a hand warmer and wanted to present it to the Empress.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be an extremely rare living creature!

After meowing loudly at them, the kitten Annie leaped up and jumped over them, startling the women so much that they scattered and retreated...

Because they were very fat, they had difficulty walking. In the chaos, the woman in red in front fell and landed directly on her follower behind her...

The women who followed him were being held down, crying out, "Ouch! Ouch!" The group, which had been arrogant and domineering, could now only rely on the maids beside them to help them up.

Extremely embarrassed.

Annie the kitten didn't actually rush up and scratch their faces. Instead, after landing, she pretended to be fierce and meowed a few times to scare them.

Then he turned around and climbed up Ye Li's arm and onto Ye Li's shoulder.

She stood on Ye Li's shoulder, like a guardian dog!

Ye Li felt that although she couldn't speak, it wasn't bad.

She didn't want to waste her breath on these idle people, and she wasn't afraid of offending anyone by not apologizing.

Who told her to be mute?

She smiled at the nobles, didn't bother with the formalities, turned around deftly, and followed the eunuch away.

The remaining woman in red and her entourage all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Amazing!

Is there really someone in this world who can tame a golden tiger?!
