After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

"Lord Chen, what do you think of this matter?" Emperor Huayao asked Chen Yizhi.

He was a high-ranking general in the court. Although the Huayao Kingdom was peaceful and prosperous and had not been on the battlefield for a long time, they were all quite idle.

But now, the Huayao Kingdom needs their help.

"Your Majesty, as a general, it is my duty to travel far, but I have been unwell recently and am truly unable to do so..."

Emperor Huayao looked at General Xiao: "General Xiao, ever since the situation in Huayao Kingdom stabilized, you have been taking sick leave and haven't even attended court. Have you recovered now?"

General Xiao looked at Emperor Hua Yao with a sorrowful expression and said, "Your Majesty, I...I haven't fully recovered yet..."

Unable to find a suitable reason, he could only make one up.

"cough……"

After he finished speaking, he coughed loudly.

The Emperor then looked at General Zhao: "General Zhao, since they are all in poor health, your health should be alright, right?"

Among these generals, General Zhao is also one of the younger ones.

General Zhao quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. My health is also poor, and I really cannot travel any further!"

Since none of them are going, I naturally won't go either.

If they say they're not feeling well, then you have to say you're not feeling well too.

Emperor Hua Yao looked at them and shook his head in disappointment.

"None of you are in good health. Should I have a royal physician examine you?"

Let's see what kind of illnesses they all have!

The stability of the Huayao Kingdom has led to complacency among its generals, which is definitely not a good thing for the Huayao Emperor.

Regardless of whether a country is strong or weak, it must always be prepared to go to the battlefield at any time!

“Nonsense…” Shi Miaomiao’s childish voice suddenly resounded throughout the Chaoyun Palace.

Why is this tiny baby making such a loud noise?

Because she used an amplification note!

These ministers spoke with great force, and her voice was too soft and childish; she would be drowned out by them.

"Little princess..." Upon hearing the voice, the ministers turned around and saw the little baby walking into the main hall.

Fu Chengshi, who had been standing at the back, remained silent the whole time, but when he saw that Miaomiao had arrived, he became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

“Little Princess…” Fu Chengshi grinned and waved to Shi Miaomiao.

“Father Fu…” Shi Miaomiao grinned at him, “Father Fu, how are you?”

"Good, good, good." Hearing this "Father," Fu Chengshi couldn't stop smiling.

Emperor Hua Yao felt extremely uncomfortable watching Fu Chengshi making underhanded moves below.

They're trying to kidnap his daughter again!

That old man is really dishonest. I didn't ask him anything earlier because I thought he was too old to make things difficult for him.

Now look what's happened! They're actually trying to curry favor with his daughter right in front of him!

"Lord Fu, it seems you have something to say?" Emperor Huayao directly addressed Fu Chengshi.

Fu Chengshi stepped forward and said directly to Emperor Huayao, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say!"

He has the desire to go to the battlefield, but fighting those lowly soldiers is meaningless. When it comes to fighting against other countries, he will definitely be the first to charge forward.

"Go down!" Emperor Hua Yao waved his hand and said.

Emperor Huayao looked at the several generals in their prime in the main hall, all of whom had reasons not to go to Nanzhou to suppress the bandits.

The remaining few were a few young men, including the crown prince, whom he couldn't bear to push in front of him every time.

Otherwise, what use are these generals?

Seeing that Shi Miaomiao had arrived, his agitation subsided somewhat.

“Father, since that’s the case, then I will lead the troops to Nanzhou!” Shi Youzhi stepped forward.

He didn't want to put Emperor Huayao in a difficult position.

It was clear that these generals were making excuses, but they had no reason to refute them, and it was not appropriate to force them to.

However, he felt a pang of sadness; his journey to Nanzhou would likely take quite some time, and his marriage to Xue'er...

"How can you let my Crown Prince go? That means Sister Xue'er's marriage with him will have to wait!"

"They've already been through so much together, how can we let them separate again? What if something happens..."

"These shameless fellows, each as strong as an ox, are hiding in the mansion having a good time, always putting my brother, the Crown Prince, in front of them!"

"Your Majesty, I request permission to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to Nanzhou!" Si Lingchen stepped forward and announced loudly.

Si Pei'an also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Father!" Si Lingchen felt this was inappropriate.

Wan'er is about to get married, and there are still things to take care of at home. At this time, her father cannot leave the Si residence.

He can handle all the affairs of the court by himself!

"National affairs are of utmost importance; family matters can be put aside for now!" Si Pei'an waved his hand and said.

Seeing Si Pei'an's determination, Emperor Hua Yao felt both saddened and gratified. He was gratified that they both prioritized the affairs of the country.

Sadly, when things happen in the court, it's always him, his son, and the Crown Prince who are at the forefront, which is something he doesn't want to see.

Moreover, he couldn't let Si Pei'an go at a time like this.

His daughter's marriage was also very important; he couldn't delay her any longer!

"Lord Si is truly righteous!" Chen Yizhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gave Si Pei'an a thumbs up.

"The Si family father and son are both extremely loyal to the court; they have truly lived up to the Emperor's expectations!" General Xiao praised.

The implication is: The Emperor is cultivating you so that you can be at the forefront.

"Your Highness's dedication to the people is truly moving. It's a pity I'm unwell; otherwise, I would definitely accompany Your Highness!"

"That's right, what a pity!" General Zhao sighed, looking quite regretful.

But who doesn't know that they're secretly overjoyed?

"A bunch of shameless bastards!" Fu Chengshi and Feng Pingliang, standing behind, cursed inwardly at the same time.

Back in the day, when they were young like these guys, they were still fighting on the battlefield.

Now, they're all making excuses not to go?

If they weren't so young and old that they couldn't endure the hardships of traveling through the terrain of Nanzhou, they would have been at the forefront.

Why do they need to pretend to be so sympathetic and praise this person who gets things done?

"Shameless bastard! You cower at home like a coward while I, your crown prince, go and charge into battle!"

Doesn't your conscience hurt?!

This time, the Si family father and son, as well as the Crown Prince, are not allowed to leave the capital.

"Just wait and see if I slap you in the face!"

She walked up to Chen Yizhi, looked him up and down, and couldn't tell that he was sick at all.

“Ni said she was unwell, but you took three concubines in just one month, and they are all pregnant with your children. Is that what you call being unwell?”

"..." Chen Yizhi was dumbfounded on the spot, and looked at Shi Miaomiao with an embarrassed expression, saying, "This..."

He wanted to deny it, but the way everyone was looking at him left him no room to say a word.

"Is that so!" Emperor Huayao immediately retorted.

It seems his beloved daughter has brought him melons again.

that's nice!

It's been so long since I've had any gossip!
