Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

After their marriage, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao were inseparable and deeply in love. Every morning before Xiao Yichen went to court, Su Yao would carefully tidy his court robes and remind him of the various matters that needed to be handled in court.

"Yichen, the new tax reform will be discussed in court today. You must remain calm and composed, and do not fall into the trap of those old ministers," Su Yao said softly while smoothing out the wrinkles on Xiao Yichen's clothes.

Xiao Yichen held Su Yao's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my wife, I know what I'm doing. As for you, if you feel bored at home, you can ask a maid to accompany you for a walk. However, although the situation is more stable now, we still need to be careful."

Su Yao nodded in agreement: "I know, you don't need to worry about me, just focus on the affairs of the court."

After Xiao Yichen left, Su Yao took charge of the household affairs. Although she came from an ordinary background, she was exceptionally intelligent and managed the household in an orderly manner. The servants all respected this gentle and kind mistress.

However, the peaceful days did not last long, as news of war suddenly broke out on the border. The enemy amassed a large army and frequently raided the border, burning, killing, and looting, causing immense suffering to the people. Upon learning the news, Xiao Yichen was deeply worried. He knew that as a subject, it was his duty to protect his country.

"Su Yao, the situation on the border is critical. I would like to request permission from the Emperor to lead an expedition," Xiao Yichen said to Su Yao with a solemn expression.

Su Yao's heart tightened, and her face showed worry: "I understand your responsibility, but the battlefield is dangerous, how can I not worry? But if you make a decision, I will fully support you."

"Madam is very understanding and righteous, but I don't know when she will return. Everything at home will have to be entrusted to you." Xiao Yichen gently embraced Su Yao, his words full of reluctance.

A few days later, Xiao Yichen led his army to the frontier. Su Yao stood at the city gate, watching the departing troops, tears blurring her vision.

On the frontier, Xiao Yichen led his soldiers in fierce battles, always at the forefront. He was resourceful and clever, repeatedly foiling enemy schemes and repelling their attacks. However, the enemy's advance was overwhelming, and the war reached a stalemate.

While in the capital, Su Yao thought of Xiao Yichen every day. Although she couldn't be on the battlefield in person, she wanted to do her part. So, she organized the noblewomen in the capital to sew clothes and collect supplies for the soldiers at the front. She also personally brought herbal medicine to the military camp to comfort the wounded soldiers.

"Soldiers, you are fighting bravely on the front lines to protect our country. These herbs and supplies are a token of our appreciation. We hope you will return victorious soon." Su Yao's gentle yet firm voice rang out in the military camp, greatly inspiring the soldiers and boosting their morale.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yichen received a letter from Su Yao and the items she sent, filling him with gratitude and warmth. He knew he couldn't let Su Yao down and was determined to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and return safely.

In a crucial battle, Xiao Yichen cleverly lured the enemy deep into his territory, then, together with his ambushed soldiers, routed them, achieving a major victory. After this battle, the enemy was severely weakened and retreated back into their own country, temporarily restoring peace to the border.

Xiao Yichen returned in triumph, his military exploits a stark contrast to the overwhelming welcome from the people of the capital. Su Yao stood amidst the crowd, her eyes brimming with pride and joy. The moment Xiao Yichen saw Su Yao, he dismounted and strode towards her, embracing her tightly as if trying to merge her into his own body.

"Su Yao, I'm back." Xiao Yichen's voice was a little hoarse, but full of affection.

"It's good that you're back. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Su Yao sobbed uncontrollably, her tears soaking Xiao Yichen's clothes.

After this battle, Xiao Yichen's prestige in the court soared, and the emperor relied on him even more. Meanwhile, the relationship between Xiao Yichen and Su Yao became even more unbreakable through these repeated separations and reunions.

Time passed, and Su Yao became pregnant. Xiao Yichen was overjoyed and took even better care of Su Yao. He often took time out of his busy official duties to personally cook nourishing soups for Su Yao, watching her belly grow little by little, his eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation.

"Madam, you and the baby must take good care of yourselves; this is our hope," Xiao Yichen said softly, gently stroking Su Yao's belly.

Su Yao's face was filled with a happy smile: "Yi Chen, I will definitely give birth to our child safely."

Soon after, a lovely baby girl was born. Holding his daughter, Xiao Yichen was filled with the joy and excitement of becoming a father for the first time: "Su Yao, our daughter is so adorable, just like you."

Su Yao leaned weakly against the headboard, looking at the father and daughter in front of her, her eyes filled with happiness: "We must protect her as she grows up."

As the child grew, the home was filled with laughter. Xiao Yichen would teach his daughter to read and write in his spare time, while Su Yao would sew beautiful clothes for her. The family of three lived a warm and happy life.

However, the peace of the court was shattered once again. New forces rose up, secretly conspiring to overthrow Xiao Yichen and seize control of the government. Xiao Yichen sensed the danger; he knew that another crisis was approaching.

"Su Yao, the imperial court is likely to be in turmoil again. These people are coming with great force, and we must be careful," Xiao Yichen said to Su Yao with a solemn expression.

Su Yao's eyes were firm: "Yi Chen, no matter what happens, I will face it with you. We've been through so much together, we'll definitely get through this one too."

Xiao Yichen held Su Yao's hand tightly: "With you here, I have confidence."

They began to carefully plot their scheme. Xiao Yichen discreetly gathered evidence in court, while Su Yao used her connections to secretly gather information. Their daughter seemed to sense the tense atmosphere at home and became exceptionally well-behaved and sensible.

During a court assembly, the opposing side finally lost patience and launched an impeachment against Xiao Yichen, listing a series of fabricated charges. Xiao Yichen was prepared; he calmly presented his evidence, refuting each accusation and exposing the opposing side's conspiracy to everyone. The Emperor was furious and severely punished those who had attempted to disrupt the court.

With the crisis averted once again, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief. They understood that the road ahead was long and full of challenges, but they were fearless because they had each other's companionship and support, and a sense of responsibility and duty to their family and country.

As time passed, their daughter grew into a beautiful young woman. Xiao Yichen and Su Yao looked at their daughter with immense joy. They continued on their paths in life, dedicating themselves to their country and family. Their love story became an enduring legend, shining brightly through the ages, inspiring generations to pursue true love and a better life…
