Perhaps it was the reassuring scent emanating from her second senior brother that made her sleep so well that night. After a refreshing breakfast, she begged him to take her out for a stroll. It had been almost four years since she transmigrated, yet she had never properly explored the city. Having heard that Xuanyuan Kingdom was the most economically prosperous of the five kingdoms, she certainly couldn't miss the opportunity.

However, the second senior brother said he needed to discuss the martial arts tournament with Master, so he assigned the covetous fourth and fifth senior brothers to go shopping. Although she couldn't go shopping with her most beloved person, it didn't matter who she went shopping with, as long as they could afford to pay. After all, she was penniless.

A few days ago, she thought that it wasn't good to always rely on the six people. Although they all loved her, it felt unreliable for a 21st-century woman who had been independent since childhood and had struggled in society. The world is vast, and a woman's own career is always right. As for what to do, she needed to investigate further.

The weather was fine, the temperature of early summer was neither hot nor cold, and the sun shone warmly on her body, making her feel indescribably comfortable. The two protectors on her left and right were also handsome men who were pleasing to the eye. Qin Yuechan felt a surge of joy in her heart. How wonderful life could be!

No sooner had they stepped out of the Regent's Palace than they were stunned by a carriage stopped at the foot of the steps. Although the two-horse carriage didn't appear particularly luxurious, the materials used revealed that only the wealthy and powerful could afford such things. The fourth senior brother fawned over and lifted the curtain, saying, "Junior sister, please get in the carriage!"

Sunlight shone on his handsome, almost otherworldly face, gleaming with a golden light. She glanced at him weakly and said, "Brother, if we can't go shopping, can we still go shopping by carriage?" Truly a royal product, she didn't have to do anything for herself.

She reached out and took the arm of her fifth senior brother, who was standing beside her, pulling him forward while calling out, "Fourth senior brother, you take the carriage, I'll go with fifth senior brother." She noticed that Zhao Yelin's dark face had turned crimson, so she moved even closer, his arm almost touching her softness, and his body almost stiffened.

Upon hearing this, the fourth senior brother threw down the curtain and ran. But suddenly, a person darted out from under the carriage, full of youthful vigor and a fierce demeanor. It was none other than the youngest senior brother! He quickly caught up with her, took her hand, pouted with a face full of grievance, and blinked his big eyes like an abandoned little animal. "Junior sister, why didn't you take me with you when you came out to play?"

Qin Yuechan didn't even blink. "Master said he needed to talk to you, that's why I didn't call you." Seeing his face suddenly darken, she figured Master really did have an appointment with him, so she tugged at his sleeve to change the subject, "Why were you hiding under the car just now?"

The mischievous laugh made the junior brother a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and chuckled, saying, "I was afraid those two would do something bad to you in the carriage, so I came here to protect you!"

"Uh..." Her face flushed red, and she suspiciously looked her fourth senior brother up and down. Although what her junior brother said might not be entirely true, her fourth senior brother had been looking like a hungry wolf with green eyes since yesterday, as if he wanted to devour her whole. Today, he arranged a carriage for her to go shopping. It would be strange if he didn't have something to do with it!

The fourth senior brother frowned and punched the youngest senior brother, loudly correcting him, "Don't talk nonsense! I arranged the carriage because I was worried that the junior sister's body couldn't handle it. I didn't expect you to be so full of bad ideas at such a young age." As he spoke, he raised his fist to hit her again, but she stopped him, saying, "If you want to fight, go back to the other side. You may not care about losing face, but I do!"

As he spoke, he forcefully pulled his fifth senior brother to walk ahead. The fourth and youngest senior brothers, seeing that they couldn't let their fifth brother reap the benefits, immediately formed a united front and caught up with him.

Qin Yuechan frowned, and without turning her head, coldly said, "Stay five meters away from me!"

"Junior Sister..." the two pleaded.

She ignored them. With three handsome men like that walking with her, wouldn't the girls' eyes devour her? She glanced at the tall Zhao Yelin, thinking that honest men like him were more reliable. Seeing his handsome face flushed and looking quite cute, she leaned closer and asked in a sweet voice, "Fifth Senior Brother, have you missed me in the three years we haven't seen each other?"

Zhao Yelin had spent years in the military, surrounded by burly men. Three years ago at Sanqing Mountain, his junior sister only had eyes for his second senior brother. Even though he longed for her, he could never bring himself to utter those sweet words. Now, his soft and delicate junior sister was smiling and looking at him with a smile, and his heart was pounding wildly, his breath almost stopping...

Seeing his embarrassment, Qin Yuechan, having developed a penchant for teasing, lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Senior brother, if you don't like me, you don't have to force yourself..."

The soft, sweet voice was like a thunderclap to Zhao Yelin's ears. He wanted to hug her immediately and tell her his deep affection, but he frowned and his square face turned red. He stammered, "Junior sister, I, of course I like you."

Her voice was so soft! She pretended to wipe away imaginary tears from the corner of her eye, "Senior brother, why bother coaxing me? If you really can't bear it, just leave... I, sob sob..."

Seeing that she was crying, the honest and straightforward Zhao Yelin couldn't withstand this onslaught. He stood there helplessly, and with one last burst of courage, he grabbed her thin shoulders and said loudly, "I like you! I've liked you from the first moment I saw you!"

He already had a loud voice, and when he shouted like that, everyone around looked over. They saw a tall man coaxing his sweetheart, and the little girl's face, which looked up when she heard him, was so beautiful that even a celestial maiden couldn't be more beautiful. Looking at the man, although he had thick eyebrows and big eyes and looked imposing, and his body was as strong as an ox, he paled in comparison to the beautiful little girl.

The elderly women passing by kindly went up to advise him, "Young man, you are so lucky to have married such a beautiful woman. You mustn't upset her!"

Zhao Yelin's face flushed even more, and he hurriedly agreed with the old lady. Qin Yuechan did not expect such a big reaction. She touched her ears, which were sore from his yelling, and walked forward with a sweet feeling in her heart, linking her arm with his.

"Senior brother, why do you have to shout so loudly?"

"..."

Seeing that she seemed to be crying, the sixth senior brother, who was walking behind, took a step forward, but was stopped by the fourth senior brother, who glared at him contemptuously, "You little brat, what do you know? Don't go and join in the fun!" He had seen it all clearly just now; the junior sister's fleeting smugness could not escape his eyes. Thinking about it, he felt a little resentful. The fifth senior brother never competed or fought for anything, so why did he always get the junior sister's favor?

The cries of vendors echoed along the streets, and shops lined both sides of the wide road. Some small vendors set up stalls to sell inexpensive and high-quality trinkets. What was remarkable was that the large shops did not seem to mind that the vendors were occupying their storefronts. After all, there were several different grades of the same product, and those who could afford high-end goods would certainly not go to the small stalls, and vice versa.

What surprised Qin Yuechan the most was that there wasn't a single beggar on the road. Even the poorest pedestrians wore clean hemp clothes, with very few patches. Upon inquiring, she learned that this was because after her senior brother took power, he promoted economic development and completely abandoned the old-fashioned low status of merchants in society. In addition, he established free schools and charitable institutions in the capital, not only providing free accommodation for the unemployed but also teaching them skills to make a living. As a result, Xuanyuan Kingdom, on the basis of its already strong military, also developed its economy rapidly, making the other four kingdoms look up to it.

When the fourth senior brother spoke these words, he showed none of his usual hostility towards the eldest senior brother. Instead, he spoke about the matter objectively and with the demeanor of an admirer. His peach blossom eyes shone brightly, filled with enthusiasm for the country and its people.

Qin Yuechan knew that he was the most favored prince of the White Tiger Kingdom, and that he would likely be the one to inherit the great cause in the future. Just thinking about him wearing a dragon robe embroidered with golden dragons and sitting in a high position looking down on the world made her smile with pride. This was her senior brother, how could she not be proud? But at the same time, she also had to face another problem.

The eldest brother is now second only to the emperor and will soon ascend the throne. The second brother is the crown prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes emperor. The third brother inherited the Ling family, the richest family in the world, and controls the economic lifeline of five kingdoms. The fourth brother is not worth mentioning. The fifth brother is the son of a duke in the White Tiger Kingdom and is now the Grand General of the State. As for the youngest brother, although he is the youngest under the emperor of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, he is very intelligent. Even if he cannot become emperor, he will at least be a prince of a kingdom and hold a very high position. She has not forgotten the current emperor of the Black Tortoise Kingdom, Qin Muhan.

Each and every one of them is a ruler of the world, a dragon among men. When they look down upon the world one day, will they still be content with only her as their woman? Even if they suppress their grievances, their families and countries will never allow it. At that time, she will be a wicked concubine who brings chaos to the world, and everyone will have the right to kill her...

Just as he was thinking, a loud shout from ahead snapped him back to reality. Looking up, he saw a bustling crowd at the entrance of the restaurant, with people surrounding the area on the street. Only a curse could be heard, mixed with the sound of a girl crying.

As they drew closer, a gruff voice rang out, "You vicious people! You poisoned my brothers to death! And you still deny it! I'll take you and your daughter to court!"

At this moment, an old voice trembled with anger: "Young Marquis, you, you can't just wish for my daughter and me! So many people in the restaurant ate there and were fine, how come he was the only one poisoned? Besides, we have no past grudges or recent enemies, why would you poison him!"

Qin Yuechan was short, and there were many people in front of her, so she couldn't see what was going on inside. Helpless, she took advantage of her small size and slipped in like a little mudfish. The three tall and strong men followed.

Suddenly, the view opened up, revealing an old man and a young girl kneeling on the ground. The girl wore a light yellow waist-length ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and her smooth black hair was tied into a cloud-like bun, which was somewhat disheveled from the earlier tugging, and her headdress was nowhere to be seen. The old man was in his fifties and was well-dressed; he was probably the owner of the restaurant. In front of them was a burly man in brocade robes, who was pointing at the father and daughter and cursing them. Several henchmen were with him. The wooden plank on the ground was covered with a white cloth, and judging from the outline underneath, it should be a person.

She frowned and asked the man next to her, "Uncle, what's going on?"

The uncle turned around and saw a woman who was incredibly beautiful. Even though he didn't want to talk about it, he blurted it out like beans spilling out.

It turned out that the man in brocade robes was the heir of the Marquis of Dongchuan in the Xuanyuan Kingdom. He routinely abused his power in the capital, relying on his father's close relationship with the Regent. Although he dared not act too outrageously under the Regent's rule, he resorted to various despicable methods to achieve his goal of bullying men and women. The restaurant owner had a beautiful daughter named Huo Xiang, whom the young Marquis of Dongchuan had taken a liking to and tried to force her to become his concubine. However, the restaurant owner, Huo Zhengqi, was fiercely protective of his daughter, and after several failed attempts to force her, this incident occurred.

After thanking her, Qin Yuechan narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly as she looked at the arrogant young marquis in the arena. She was about to speak when her fourth senior brother grabbed her slender waist from behind and whispered in her ear in an ambiguous tone, "Junior sister, do you want to intervene in this matter?"
