Ziyue slept soundly without any dreams, and when she woke up it was almost 5:15 PM.

"Someone is coming."

Then, the palace maids filed out.

With the help of palace maids, she changed into a bright red chiffon dress embroidered with gold thread. Her jet-black hair was tied up with a ruby ​​hairpin, and a red crystal on her forehead made her skin look like jade. Every move she made was beautiful and flamboyant.

The red gauze dress made the beauty resemble a blazing flame, seemingly capable of scorching everything, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at her.

Otherwise, it would be as if looking at it for too long would burn your eyes.

Although her attire was not particularly glamorous, just very simple, it still left the palace maids attending her in a daze and amazed.

Ziyue walked out of the palace, where Eunuch Xu was already waiting.

Eunuch Xu was an old servant who had served the emperor for many years. Only the empress, the crown prince, and Ziyue could persuade this powerful eunuch in the palace to come over in person.

"Oh my, Princess Anle of this humble family is becoming more and more stunningly beautiful. If she went out, how many handsome young men in our Jingli Kingdom would she captivate?" Eunuch Xu's teasing voice rang out.

"Please stop teasing me, Eunuch Xu. How have you been these past few years? Did your uncle send you here to give you some instructions?"

The original owner of this body could be said to have been raised by Eunuch Xu, who had always been kind and loving to her.

The only people who could earn a smile from this Eunuch Xu, besides the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince, were the original owner of this body.

“Your Highness, thank you for your concern. I am doing well lately, but I was worried about Your Highness guarding the frontier alone. Now that Your Highness is back, I can eat two more bowls of rice at every meal. His Majesty has ordered me to come and fetch Your Highness to the Hall of Mental Cultivation so that you may go to the banquet with His Majesty.”

With a smile on his face, Eunuch Xu quickly answered.

"Haha, that's great! It's worth it for Anle to be able to eat those two extra bowls of rice. Let's go now, don't keep your uncle waiting."

"Yes. His Majesty has prepared a phoenix carriage for the princess, which is waiting outside. Princess, please."

Eunuch Xu bowed in acknowledgment.

Ziyue walked at the front and immediately saw the six phoenix carriages waiting outside the palace, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

It should be noted that the Empress rides in a nine-phoenix carriage, while the princesses in the palace ride in a four-phoenix carriage, and Qing Ziyue can ride in a six-phoenix carriage. This gives a glimpse into the extent of her favor!

The Imperial Garden, the venue for tonight's banquet for the generals, was already filled with civil and military officials who had brought their wives. The crowd dispersed to various places, chatting and laughing.

In Jingli Kingdom, the separation of men and women is not strict. Both men and women can go out together, eat, chat, and talk about anything and everything in a harmonious atmosphere.

Of course, the person they talked about the most at this banquet was Princess Anle, who was also the new generation of female war goddess of their Jingli Kingdom, General Qing Ziyue.

"His Majesty has arrived, Princess Anle has arrived."

Upon the announcement by the palace attendant at the door, everyone at the banquet stopped talking and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Welcome Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Welcome Princess Anle! Long live the Princess!"

"Hahahaha." The first sound that came was the emperor's hearty laughter.

"My beloved ministers, please rise. Today, I am overjoyed that my Princess Anle has returned safely. You may all drink to your hearts' content and not be shy."

As he spoke, he led Ziyue to the front and sat down on the throne.

The Emperor and Empress sat at the head of the table. The first seat to the Emperor's left was occupied by the Crown Prince, and the first seat to the Empress's left was occupied by Ziyue.

Below her were the other princesses, which shows Princess Anle's position in the emperor's heart.

The other princesses were both envious and jealous of Ziyue, but what could they do? They had all been used to it since they were little.

It should be noted that Princess Anle was granted the title "Anle" and a fiefdom from birth, and was cherished by the Emperor and Empress, a privilege that none of the other princesses received.

Moreover, Ziyue is no longer just an ordinary princess; she is now Jingli's new generation of female war goddess and a female general in charge of military power. They can only watch silently as she receives many privileges that exceed the norm, and dare not do anything about it.

The ministers looked at Princess Anle, who had come with His Majesty. They knew that this was a privilege even the Crown Prince did not receive, which showed just how much His Majesty doted on Princess Anle.

After the officials rose, they all congratulated the emperor and praised General Qing for his youthful talent, saying that he was a blessing to the country and a boon to the people...

The young men and women from the other ministers' families who had followed were utterly amazed by Princess Anle, who wore a simple red gauze dress and had a red gemstone between her eyebrows, radiating a fiery passion.

Countless young men have lost their hearts to Ziyue today.

Even many noble ladies, young women, and young misses looked at the young general with longing and admiration, who, despite his young age, already held military power, commanded troops like a god on the battlefield, and was feared by all nations.

Compared to the young masters, these young ladies looked at Ziyue with even more fervent eyes. After all, Princess Anle was their role model and their idol.

I finally met my idol again today! Ahhh, I'm so excited and happy!!! It would have been even better if I could have spoken to Princess Anle up close!!!

At this moment, Ziyue listened to the ministers' flattery one after another, but her heart remained unmoved.

However, this was the first time she had ever realized how eloquent these ministers were. They showered her with compliments, each one unique and different, subtly flattering the emperor while praising her.

She was truly impressed by their skill in using those words, one after another.

Ziyue looked around listlessly and suddenly noticed a handsome young man sitting among the ministers.

"A gentleman of noble character, refined and polished, like jade being cut and polished," this was Ziyue's first impression of him, and it also gave her a very intuitive understanding of this saying.

While most of the ministers were showering him with compliments, Ziyue noticed that he was the only one sitting upright in his seat, drinking alone, which set him apart from the others.

-

At this banquet, the emperor issued an edict, bestowing upon Ziyue the title of "Princess Anle" and also granting her the title of "Grand General of the State," which was the original title of her father. She inherited the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and became the new Duke of Dingguo.

Then the other deputy generals, as well as some other meritorious soldiers, were also rewarded according to their merits.

At the palace banquet, Ziyue paid no attention to the stares of others, remaining as still as a mountain, eating and drinking as she pleased.

However, compared to the food, the wine at the palace banquet was much more fragrant and had a lingering aftertaste, which led Ziyue to drink quite a bit.

Not to mention Ziyue herself, she has plenty of ways to drink without getting drunk, even after drinking a thousand cups of wine. Even the original owner of this body, who had spent so many years on the border with the soldiers, had a very good tolerance for alcohol.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ziyue made an excuse to sneak away.
