Chapter 32: 031 Prime Minister Residence’s Number One Talented Lady (13)

The Crown Prince and his entourage achieved exceptional victories on the battlefield, reclaiming one city after another, and as a result, his soldiers gained promotion after promotion.

Wherever they went, the people spontaneously lined up to welcome them, and his reputation in the Borderland became unmatched for a time.

And the Crown Prince’s Deputy General Su was promoted to full General, now rivaling the Bai Family in courtly status.

All this left the Bai Family rattled and somewhat regretful that they didn’t join the Crown Prince on his campaign.

The once unassuming Crown Prince finally caught the attention of both high and low officials in the Imperial City.

Bai Zhenzhen and the Third Prince, who previously disregarded the Crown Prince, saw their attitudes completely vanish when they heard this news.

Especially since the agents sent by the Prince’s maternal uncle seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving the Third Prince’s faction somewhat disappointed.

Upon the triumphant return of the Crown Prince and his men, the Emperor himself went ten miles out to welcome them.

“If you hadn’t come back, your mother would have gone beyond the Great Wall to look for you,” Prime Minister Ye sized up Ye Shaohua from top to bottom; she hadn’t become thinner, but even more eye-catching, and only then he was satisfied, “Come, let’s go back and talk.”

“Lady, you didn’t take me along for fun this time,” Mo Hen stood behind Prime Minister Ye, sporting a look of utter dejection.

“Alright, next time I’ll take you with me,” Ye Shaohua raised an eyebrow and casually responded.

Mo Hen burst into a delighted smile.

Ye Huaijin, standing neglected on the side, had a fleeting moment in which he felt he might not be a true-born member of the family.

With Lady Ye still waiting at home, Prime Minister Ye didn’t linger and prepared to return immediately with his entourage.

Just then, they happened to encounter the newly promoted General Su, and Prime Minister Ye was about to pull out Ye Huaijin to entertain him when General Su began to speak.

“Miss Ye, are you preparing to go back?” General Su was extremely respectful.

“That’s enough, let my sister rest for a couple of days. Every day she demonstrates arrays like the Triadic Array and the Fish Scale Array for you, even if you’re not tired she must be,” Ye Huaijin immediately interrupted what General Su was going to say next.

“But the Emperor…” General Su struggled for a long time, unable to say anything to Ye Shaohua. He could only watch, reluctantly, as Ye Shaohua left.

Prime Minister Ye couldn’t make heads or tails of their conversation. What were these Triadic Array and Fish Scale Array?

Even more surprising to him was General Su’s attitude. A full General is also a first-rank military officer—why was he showing such respect to his daughter?

On the side, the Third Prince and Bai Zhenzhen among others watched as Ye Shaohua and her party left, with Bai Zhenzhen’s nails digging into her palms.

After a moment, she smiled again.

Seven months had passed, Ye Shaohua, Huangfu Yunzhong… Both of you were in the Borderland, probably unaware that almost the entirety of the Wang Dynasty knew her, Bai Zhenzhen, as the one who propounded the road construction.

Whereas Ye Shaohua, relatively unknown in the military, was only spoken of in tales about the Crown Prince and Ye Huaijin. The chess match from a few months ago was remembered only by those passionate about chess. The common folk didn’t care whether you had talent or not?

They only remember Bai Zhenzhen who sought to acquire benefits for them, and her name was about to be etched into history.

Ye Shaohua had been too low-key in the Borderland, and hardly anyone outside knew of her; the Crown Prince was the one celebrated far and wide.

Bai Zhenzhen had always thought she was merely making a token effort, and it was only now that she felt she could surpass Ye Shaohua by one move, and she looked down on Ye Shaohua’s ideas.

Putting these thoughts aside, Bai Zhenzhen whispered to the Third Prince that she wanted to see the Emperor.

She had thought of a new policy, believing that in a few days her new policies would overshadow those of the Crown Prince and his group. The thought excited her so much she could barely contain herself.

The Crown Prince had been frail since childhood, so the Emperor had already arranged for the Imperial Physician to wait in the Palace, while he summoned General Su.

When General Su went to the Imperial Study Room, he saw Bai Zhenzhen, looking delighted, coming out of there.

He was somewhat surprised, which family’s daughter was this who could come and go from the Imperial Study Room so freely?

“General Su, your timing is impeccable,” the Emperor relaxed slightly upon seeing General Su, “Take a look at this. Policies that favor merchants over farmers, prohibit wars, and allow the people to live in peace, forming a peaceful nation. What do you think?”

“Favoring merchants over farmers?” General Su furrowed his brows; he was a military man, but he knew that didn’t align with the country’s situation. “No wars? How do we ensure the peace and security of the people without war? Who’s the one loafing around and spouting such nonsense?”

“It was the Second Lady of the Bai Family who just left,” the Emperor let out a cold snort, “Now she’s seen by all as a savior and a living bodhisattva, almost like Ben Quxing descended to save the world.”

Bai Zhenzhen wanted to make a name for herself, replicating everything from later generations without error.

Yet, she forgot that a nation’s economic policies are determined by its economic foundation and the interests of the rulers. The longstanding policy of emphasizing agriculture over commerce certainly had its rationale.

Part of the reason she had gained such high esteem among the people was due to her impassioned speeches.

“A savior?” General Su knitted his brows, a bit in disbelief, “Even Miss Ye wouldn’t dare make such a claim!”

“True,” The Emperor brightened a bit at the mention of Ye Shaohua, “General Su, you’ve made great contributions this time. Do you have any other requests?”

“No requests. If it wasn’t for the Crown Prince and Miss Ye, I might not have survived. Also, Cloud Country has said they will come to pay homage in a few days,” General Su waved his hands, refusing to take all the credit.

Originally, when this group went to the Borderland, he thought the brightest strategist among them was Ye Huaijin, renowned for his intelligence.

But who would have thought? Each of the three was more formidable than the last.

Ye Shaohua and Huangfu Yunzhong were monstrous prodigies.

Huangfu Yunzhong’s predictions were almost divine, and Ye Shaohua’s tactical arrangements were sublime. Together, they were invincible, like gods and demons crushing all opposition.

The Emperor didn’t know that the last battle was actually a three-nation siege, and they, with only 30,000 troops, had defeated 100,000 elite soldiers of the enemy, incurring less than 1% casualties.

General Su had a feeling that those nations had been scared off by the ferociousness of these two prodigies.

After General Su left, the Emperor looked at the ‘favoring commerce over agriculture’ paper in his hand and murmured, “It’s strange, the truly meritorious ones are so low-key they can’t be bothered to come to the Palace for rewards, while those who court popularity are well known.”

The steward of the Imperial Household was unaware of the conversation between the Emperor and General Su; he stood on the sidelines, greatly alarmed.

The Emperor’s words “courting popularity”—was he referring to the Second Lady Bai? Impossible, she was a savior who’d drafted numerous policies for the people’s welfare. If she was courting popularity, then what hope did the others have?
