Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Hearing the little beggar's heartfelt blessings, Ye Li was speechless with emotion.

Mo Chen, surprisingly, agreed. He not only responded with an "Mm," but also nodded.

Ye Li looked at him with a surprised expression.

Why are you nodding? You're not Little Mo Chen!

Ye Li dared not harbor any such thoughts...

After all, my body is too thin for a country that values ​​plumpness as beauty, and it doesn't fit the aesthetic standards of men in this country...

But the next moment, Mo Chen, right in front of the little beggar, took her hand and walked out of the alley.

Even after getting into the carriage, Ye Li was still a little dazed.

She looked at Mo Chen, whose striking features and handsome appearance were truly remarkable.

No problem.

Today he wore a dark blue robe, as composed as ever.

No problem, this is the original Mo Chen.

The grown-up general never makes a conscious effort to match her clothes.

The hairband she gave him was never seen Ye Li use again after he woke up that day.

Too……

He's forgotten all of that.

He probably won't remember that he made this for him...

While Ye Li was lost in thought, Mo Chen secretly watched her and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn't upset.

I took her hand without permission, thinking she would be unhappy.

Mo Chen felt the soft, yielding texture in his hands, as if he were kneading cotton.

Once you start kneading, you get hooked...

The carriage had just arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion when Mo Chen helped Ye Li out of the carriage.

Immediately, someone reported that the envoy from the Northern Chen Kingdom had delivered a letter.

Mo Chen looked displeased and asked, "What is it?"

"Invite the general and his wife to the post station to discuss chess."

Since Ye Li made a name for herself at the Emperor Emeritus's birthday banquet, she has received many more such invitations.

Official daughters and envoys from various countries sent invitations, but Ye Li refused to participate in any of them.

However, the invitation from Beichen Kingdom clearly had no other purpose than this.

Ye Li looked at Mo Chen, nodded, and said, "Go."

The two then continued on their way to the post station.

On the way, they unexpectedly ran into Big Beard Ah Kui.

Big Beard A-Kui is now nominally Mo Chen's sworn brother. Hearing that they were going to the post station for an appointment, he was very interested and wanted to go with them.

"Brother, you are highly skilled in martial arts, and your wife is also a great cook. You are so lucky!"

Since losing his tiger, A-Kui has been hunting and exchanging his prey for silver in various antique shops in the Tian Shu Kingdom.

The noblewomen of Tian Shu Kingdom all liked clothes made of animal hides, so he made quite a bit of money during this period.

However, they have never encountered a tiger of the same quality as the one from the royal hunting grounds.

His eyes lit up when he saw the cat next to Ye Li:

"Sister-in-law, you actually managed to hunt such a fine golden tiger?"

He reached out to pet the kitten Annie, but Annie didn't like strangers.

It bared its teeth and hissed at the big beard.

Ye Li gently lifted the cat's head, stroked it, and thought to herself, "Be polite. He's not a bad person."

Anne said impatiently, "I knew I shouldn't have come with you. I would have stayed home and played by myself."

Ye Li was quite surprised that Annie had already made Mo Chen's general's mansion her own home.

The bearded Ah Kui was even more shocked: "You can actually tame such a beast?! That's unbelievable!"

"These small animals are much harder to tame than horses!"

Big Beard A-Kui was from the Kingdom of Tianlang, so he was naturally familiar with hunting.

However, he never kept pets. Once he caught one, he would either kill it or raise it to adulthood before killing it. But judging from how his siblings got along, it was clear that he had successfully tamed the golden tiger.

He was greatly shocked and felt that he was right not to oppose the Tian Shu Kingdom.

Now, by making this mission, not only can I bring back a waterwheel, but I might also be able to learn a thing or two about how to tame a golden tiger.

Ye Li didn't want to talk much, because Annie's arrival with her was truly unexpected.

She placed the kitten in Mo Chen's arms, then gestured to the bearded A Kui that he had made it.

—Anyway, Mo Chen is already quite formidable in front of the other envoys, so adding a beast taming skill wouldn't be excessive.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ah Kui, the bearded general of the Sirius Kingdom who was known as a fierce general, stammered and said:

"If I have the chance, could I also tame one?"

His eyes lit up as he gazed longingly at Annie: "This golden tiger is so beautiful, I want to have one too."

He solemnly promised, "I'll pay whatever it takes if I can catch it, and I'll catch fish for her every day to cook meat for her!"

Ye Li thought that the bearded Ah Kui was mighty and strong, but she didn't expect him to have such a girlish heart.

Haha, what tough guy could resist a kitten?

Ye Li laughed happily, her clear voice mixed with a girl's low voice, which was quite unique.

Mo Chen rarely heard her make a sound because he could read lips; they usually communicated silently.

But now she smiles radiantly at the bearded Ah Kui.

In an instant, an indescribable feeling welled up inside me...

He suddenly blocked the bearded man's view, standing in front of Ye Li and taking the kitten back to her.

He calmly said:

"The child wants to eat, please feed him a little."

That's really misleading!

Ye Li felt as if she had been struck by lightning...

There's an outsider here, isn't what you said a bit too...?

They've become completely unscrupulous...

Annie, on the other hand, was direct and straightforward:

"Okay, Master, I want some dried fish, one more!"

……

Fortunately, they arrived at the post station at that moment, and Ye Li quickly got out of the car as if there were wild beasts inside.

When she entered the post station, she was dazzled by the bright gold and silver!

This time it really blew my eyes out!

Because the courtyard was filled with lots of gold!

It gleamed golden in the sunlight, radiating an alluring color.

Clearly, even the bearded Ah Kui had never seen so much gold before; he was stunned when he entered.

"Your Beichen Kingdom is so rich? Are you still short of people?"

……

Big Beard, you're way too honest!

Seeing the bravery of the general of Tian Shu Kingdom, they wanted to become sworn brothers.

Seeing that the emperor of Beichen Kingdom is so wealthy, does he even want to abandon his nationality?!

Su Zhelan was not surprised at all. He twirled his folding fan, covered his mouth, and smiled.

"I have long admired General A-Kui of the Tianlang Kingdom, for his unparalleled bravery and quick wit. If the general is willing to part with the customs and traditions of the Tianlang Kingdom, the Beichen Kingdom would naturally welcome him with open arms."

"only……"

Su Zhelan became serious and said firmly:

"This gift is for my wife; I'm afraid the general will be disappointed."

Ye Li had been admiring the pile of gold for a long time since she first saw it.

If I had a camera, I'd love to take a picture and hang it above my bed.

That's so amazing!

Gold!

But when she heard Su Zelan say it was a gift for the lady.

But I felt that this guy was definitely up to something again.

They have different identities and positions, and today they came with Mo Chen. They received gifts, but should they accept them themselves or on behalf of Mo Chen?

The outside world will assume it's the latter, and rumors of treason might even surface the next day.

Su Zhelan, that guy, always has a smile on his face while setting traps for others.

……

Ye Li's eyes darted around, then she walked behind Mo Chen, her eyes sparkling, and silently said:

"We'll start cooking now, and then we'll sell the recipes later!"

Mo Chen relayed Ye Li's words. Su Zhelan seemed to have been prepared, and when she had a servant take her to the kitchen,

The entire space was filled to the brim with ingredients—goodness, this looks like they're preparing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!

Since she was fully equipped, Ye Li didn't hold back at all.

They prepared a variety of dishes in one go, including braised eel with black bean sauce, deep-fried oysters, braised pork belly with taro, and a roast suckling pig platter.

Su Zhelan, who had been waiting leisurely, finally got to eat Ye Li's exquisite and delicious dishes.

He thought the previous ones were already delicious, but this time the ingredients were fresher and of higher quality, so the taste was even better.

Big Beard A-Kui also liked it very much. He didn't expect that he could get a free meal with him when he was just passing by. He praised him repeatedly.

After eating his fill, Su Zhelan thought that as long as he paid with gold, it would be his reward.

But I never expected this.

Ye Li surprisingly proposed that they sign a contract.
