Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

Feng Xiyue looked at Han Zixuan with a solemn expression, "Han Zixuan, this is my thought after careful consideration, so please don't rush to refuse."

"I believe you have such abilities. Besides, isn't Feng Wanqing also our common enemy?"

……

"Constantly hiding one's abilities isn't a long-term solution, don't you agree?"

His gaze toward Han Zixuan was filled with a firm scrutiny.

These words indeed changed Han Zixuan's expression. Yes, she and Feng Wanqing also had their share of grudges.

It's clearly impossible for her to remain unaffected. She has so many concerns now…

Having just settled into a peaceful life, it would certainly not be a good thing for her if Feng Wanqing were to actually invade the capital.

Why did she feel like she'd somehow gotten herself on a pirate ship? When did it all start...?

His gaze shifted to Feng Xiyue, and seeing the mockery in her eyes, he suddenly understood something and shook his head with a smile.

It turns out she was already tied to Feng Xiyue from the very beginning. She really underestimated these ancient people…

Feng Xiyue smiled gently upon seeing this, "Well, have you thought it through?"

Han Zixuan asked bitterly, "Why do I have other choices?"

Feng Xiyue gently patted her shoulder and forced a smile, saying, "The situation forced me to this, Zixuan, please don't hold a grudge against me."

To be honest, she really pondered for a long time before saying it so tactfully. Firstly, Han Zixuan was not just an ordinary staff member or supporter in her eyes, but a rare friend.

Han Zixuan let out a sigh of dejection and looked intently at Feng Xiyue.

"His Majesty also said that the situation is dire. With the army pressing in, what can we do but fight? After all, I am also a citizen of Fenglin."

"For my future peaceful life, I naturally have to contribute, don't I..."

Give yourself a reason and explanation to absolve yourself.

She said this for her own sake and for the people of Fenglin, not for Feng Xiyue's.

This prompted Feng Xi to burst into laughter, "Yes, Zixuan is right. For the sake of the people's well-being, I thank Zixuan for her great righteousness."

The next morning at court, a soldier immediately reported, "Your Majesty has come from Suizhou City to report that there are rebels leading a large number of troops."

Along their journey, they have conquered cities, plundered, burned, killed, and looted, causing immense suffering to the people. Now, the rebels are advancing towards the capital.

Feng Xiyue frowned and asked, "Do you know who is leading this group? How many soldiers do they have?"

"Your Majesty, this is the former Prince Rui, Feng Wanqing... The rebels number approximately fifty thousand."

The civil and military officials all paled in astonishment. "This... wasn't Prince Rui exiled to a desolate land by the late emperor? How could this be? How could this be?"

"Yes...yes."

"The fact that they've gathered so many soldiers shows they've come prepared..."

His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and his power is not yet secure; there are still dissenting voices in the court.

Now there are rebels, and their purpose is obvious.

Feng Xiyue looked at the officials below with a heavy expression, "The traitor Feng Wanqing, as the daughter of the late emperor, disregarded the late emperor's affection for many years."

To launch a rebellion and massacre civilians during the national mourning period is an unforgivable crime...

"Your Majesty, such treacherous rebels cannot be tolerated. I believe they must be brought to justice."

"I agree. Without eliminating the rebels, it is difficult to guarantee the safety and stability of our people..."

Feng Xi nodded and said, "What you all say is very true. We certainly cannot let these rebels go unpunished."

Each army has its own duties, and now the Imperial City garrison has 30,000 men available for deployment.

Which of my esteemed ministers would be willing to lead troops to fight against the rebels?

The officials below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment; the disparity between 30,000 and 50,000 was quite significant.

The military officers looked even more troubled.

This battle was clearly not going to be easy. Putting aside the fact that they were outnumbered, the outcome would mean a change of monarch.

No one dared to guarantee victory in this battle, so they all hung their heads low.

Feng Xiyue's tone carried a hint of anger, "What, do none of my beloved ministers want to go?"

"I don't dare!"

"Your Majesty, I propose that Commandant Meng be sent there..."

"Oh, Commandant Meng, would you be willing to go?"

A middle-aged woman, around forty years old, looked quite imposing in her armor, but her expression was not very pleasant when her name was called.

She glared fiercely at the official who had just mentioned her, then looked at Feng Xiyue with a troubled expression.

After stepping forward, he bowed and hesitated before speaking, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am afraid my abilities are limited and I am not up to the task..."

Whoever takes on such a job is doomed. She still wants to live a few more years, it would be so much better to live a quiet, unremarkable life as a nobody.

If she had any ambition to achieve great things, she would have been a general defending a city long ago.

She was still a third-rank military officer there, and she knew her own limitations.

After saying that, he knelt down tremblingly to the side.

"Your Majesty, please choose someone else!"

Feng Xiyue frowned and glanced at her, then sighed, "Heh, does Commander Meng have so little confidence in himself?"

"As a military general, you retreated before even engaging in battle. How can you possibly have the face to stand in the palace like this?"

Commander Meng could only kneel on the ground and listen.

"He's still just a third-rank captain, a title that doesn't live up to his name. Have him dragged away and given twenty lashes, demoting him to a thousand-household commander."

Commander Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness...

The other military officers in the hall tensed up at the sight. None of them wanted to fight a battle they knew they would lose.

Seeing their heads hanging low, Feng Xiyue felt a fire burning in her heart, even though she already knew that some of them would not want to go.

But to everyone's surprise, there wasn't a single official in the court.

He has just ascended the throne, and the court has not yet had time to be reorganized.

For now, he could only leave it aside and said in a deep voice, "Well, since none of you are capable, then I will find a capable person to serve as the general."

"A messenger has come to summon the Princess of Ruian to the palace."

Everyone was startled. "The Princess of Ruian?" The name sounded familiar. "Who is she again?"

"The Princess of Ruian? Isn't she the grand-disciple of Grand Tutor Jiang?"

"I heard that nowadays, candidates for the imperial examinations are studying at the Imperial Academy."

"Ah, a scholar, it seems. What does His Majesty want with her?"

Could it be...?

"No way, could this Lady Ruian, who leads troops into battle, possibly have some kind of strategy?"

"..."

As they discussed, Grand Tutor Jiang and Minister Jiang stood by, looking relaxed and composed.

A moment later, Han Zixuan entered the main hall.

Feng Xiyue said sternly, "Han Zixuan is now a traitor, and Feng Wanqing has raised an army to rebel. I order you to lead troops to fight against her. Are you willing to go?"

Han Zixuan cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "For the sake of the people of Fenglin, this humble subject is willing to obey Your Majesty's orders."

Feng Xiyue shouted, "Very well, since that's the case, I hereby appoint you as a third-rank military officer holding a gold-embedded military command and grant you the token of being able to personally visit me."

He was immediately ordered to lead 30,000 garrison troops to fight against the rebels.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey the decree."

After Feng Xiyue finished speaking, she looked at the many officials below.

"Do any of you ministers have any objections? If not, then this is settled."

Grand Tutor Jiang and Minister Jiang immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, we have no objection."

However, the officials were still completely bewildered, "Wh...what? What did His Majesty just say..."

They were still a little confused. "Your Majesty, what did Your Majesty just say in your decree?"

Han Zixuan, a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, was appointed as a third-rank military officer and led the garrison to fight against Prince Rui.

This is far too frivolous, and the appointment was made incredibly quickly.

It was as if it had been rehearsed in advance.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't..."
