The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

The group arrived in a carriage at a military camp located outside the city of Linfang Prefecture, nestled against the mountain. Looking out at the surrounding area, which stretched for miles, they saw houses and, through the simple tree branch walls, soldiers bustling about inside, as well as patrol teams passing by from time to time.

They entered through the main gate of the military camp, and with Feng Yuanxi leading the way, they had no trouble passing through.

At this moment, the curtains and windows of the carriage were lifted. After all, it wasn't just Yue Li who was curious about the ancient military camp; even Shao Qi and Gong Hanmo, who had never been to an army before, were looking on with curiosity.

Because there has been no war with the Southern Kingdom for nearly ten years, the tents used by the military camps stationed here have been replaced by houses. This decision was made by decree during Jin Chenyuan's reign, in order to allow the soldiers to rest and recuperate better.

The carriage was parked in front of the house where Feng Yuanxi was staying in the military camp. Yue Li, Shao Qi, and Gong Hanmo were all eager for Feng Yuanxi to take them to see the military camp.

They were initially curious why the general hadn't ridden a horse back this time, but instead had taken a carriage. However, they were surprised to find that not only did two men get off the carriage, but there was also a woman.

This caused those who saw Yue Li get off the carriage to be unable to hide their surprise. Even though they were still walking forward, their heads were turned in their direction and they forgot to turn them back for a long time, almost straining their backs.

However, it's understandable that they were making a fuss. What kind of place is a military camp? It's where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and officers are stationed. It's a whole bunch of men. You rarely see a female mosquito, let alone a woman as beautiful as a fairy.

Seeing these burly men making such comical movements, Yue Li couldn't help but smile. At this moment, her beautiful face was charming and alluring, instantly captivating those who had almost strained their backs.

Seeing that the passing soldiers and several lieutenants were staring intently at Yue Li, Feng Yuanxi, Shao Qi, and Gong Hanmo all showed displeasure. Feng Yuanxi even reached into the carriage and, using the carriage as cover, took out the veiled hat he had bought for Yue Li from his storage bag and put it on Yue Li's head.

Yue Li did not stop them. She was not a person who liked to show off, nor did she want to be stared at wherever she went.

As they were gazing intently at the beautiful woman with bright eyes and exquisite features not far away, a chill suddenly ran through them, and they all shivered involuntarily. In the instant they came to their senses, they saw their general standing next to the woman, coldly watching them.

His usually stern face was now covered with a thick layer of frost, and his chilling aura was like a long sword that wanted to pierce through them. The group of people shuddered at the same time and came back to their senses. They no longer dared to look at the beautiful woman in the crimson narrow-sleeved dress.

By this time, they probably also knew the identity of this young lady—or rather, the lady.

It must be the wife the general married in Kyoto last year. After returning from Kyoto last year, the general said that he was married. He even took out a large sum of money to treat all the soldiers and officers to drinks. Because of this, even those who did not know that the general was married knew.

I never expected this lady to be so beautiful.

I wonder how such a beautiful lady could have fallen for their cold-faced general?

Their general was aloof and cold-tempered, and rarely smiled. It was quite a treat for him that such a beautiful and seemingly delicate woman could fall for him. This general, who had absolutely no sense of romance, was truly fortunate.

However, despite their thoughts, everyone was sensible enough to turn around and leave reluctantly. But no matter how you looked at their steps, they seemed to be dragging their feet as they left!

There was one soldier, however, who had a refined appearance and dressed differently from the other soldiers. While the others wore long robes and trousers that bound their ankles and wrists, he wore a long robe, which made him appear more elegant and handsome in the military camp full of burly men.

As the person approached, Feng Yuanxi slightly softened his cold aura.

"General." The man who came presented Feng Yuanxi with his hands clasped in greeting.

“Yes, Lian Xing.” Feng Yuanxi nodded.

Seeing that the general had no intention of introducing them, Shen Lianxing had no choice but to take the initiative and ask, "General, who are these three?"

Feng Yuanxi: ...

"This is my wife, whom I married in Kyoto last year. These two are my wife's other two husbands. They came here with her on a trip and also came to see me." Since this place is too far from Kyoto, Feng Yuanxi only mentioned his marriage after returning. As for who he married, he didn't say too much.

Therefore, when introducing Shao Qi and Gong Hanmo, he didn't explain them very clearly.

After introducing Yue Li and the others to Shen Lianxing, Feng Yuanxi's attitude underwent a complete transformation when introducing Shen Lianxing to Yue Li. He became incredibly gentle and looked at Yue Li, saying softly, "This is the military strategist of the camp, Shen Lianxing."

Looking at the general who had changed so much, Shen Lianxing was momentarily stunned. It wasn't until the others had greeted him and walked away that he came to his senses, then smiled and shook his head.

I never expected that General Feng, who was aloof and cold to everyone, would change so much after getting married.

But why did he feel that the two young-looking men from earlier looked somewhat familiar?

Considering that General Feng found his wife in Kyoto, the two men must also be sons of officials in Kyoto. However, he hadn't been back to Kyoto for several years, so it was understandable that he didn't recognize them.

During their brief conversation, news of General Feng's wife's arrival at the military camp had already spread far and wide.

Some of the staff on their days off even disregarded their own rest and started trying to bump into the general's wife, hoping to see what she looked like.

Although in the end only a figure wearing a veiled hat was seen, her slender figure clearly indicated that she was a rare beauty.

As Feng Yuanxi watched more and more people come to bump into them, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. It seemed that the training tasks he had assigned them before were still too few, which allowed them to have time to wander around.

Just as Feng Yuanxi was thinking about how to add more tasks for them, they arrived at the huge training ground that was usually used for training.

The training ground was as big as three or four basketball courts. Their arrival today was just a coincidence, as it happened to be the day of the military competition.

A dozen or so steps were set up on the training ground, and anyone who felt confident could go up and challenge themselves.

Looking at the competition platform surrounded by rings of people, watching the two competitors sweating profusely, and the people below excitedly shouting slogans, it was very effective in stirring up the emotions of outsiders.
