Spoiled by parents!
My older siblings dote on me!
My brother-in-law spoils me!
My sister-in-law and nephews and nieces dote on me!
Despite not being spoiled at all, she was incredibly considerate and repaid all her relatives in her own way.

After sitting with the Empress Dowager for about half an hour, Emperor Wenzhao guessed that Prime Minister Xiao, namely Xiao Yu, should have already entered the palace, so he did not stay in Ningren Palace any longer.
Filled with doubt, Prime Minister Xiao, who was second only to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, followed the messenger eunuch to the palace. At that moment, he was walking up the steps outside the Imperial Study when, coincidentally, Emperor Wenzhao's imperial carriage returned to the Imperial Study from Ningren Palace.
Stepping down from the imperial carriage, Emperor Wenzhao inadvertently spotted his beloved minister and exclaimed, "Bo'an is here! Quickly, come with me to the Imperial Study for a chat!" He beckoned to Xiao Yu, and upon seeing his favorite minister approach, Emperor Wenzhao turned and entered the Imperial Study first.
"I wonder what Your Majesty wishes to do by summoning me to the palace so late at night?"
In the center of the imperial study, Xiao Yu stood still, bowed to Emperor Wenzhao, and then asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Prime Minister Xiao, I would like to share some good news with you in advance."
Before going to Ningren Palace, Xiao Yu sent Yuanbao to summon Xiao Yu to the palace. The purpose was simple: he wanted to talk to his good minister, the Prime Minister of Daxia, about high-yield crops and cotton, hoping that the other party would be mentally prepared and cooperate with him in the morning court the next day, and supervise the Ministry of Agriculture to properly plant the hard-won seeds.
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Xiao Yu raised his hand in a "please" gesture, then stood respectfully in place, pretending to listen attentively.
Emperor Wenzhao instructed Yuanbao to bring a chair for Xiao Yu to sit on. After Xiao Yu sat down, he said, "Before I speak, I must remind Prime Minister Xiao that you should remain calm after hearing this. Wait until I finish telling you this joyous news before you ask what you want to ask."
"I obey the decree!"
Xiao Yu had just sat down when he stood up again and bowed to Emperor Wenzhao.
"There are only the two of us, the emperor and his subject, in this imperial study now. Prime Minister Xiao, there is no need to be bound by formalities."
Emperor Wenzhao gestured for Xiao Yu to sit back down and said, "The good news I have to share is that our Great Xia has acquired a divine object, and this divine object was a gift from Marquis Zhanbei to Great Xia..."
"What?"
Xiao Yu, who had not yet settled down, suddenly stood up again, his eyes almost overflowing with shock.
If you look closely, you'll see that this shock is mixed with an indescribable excitement.
Here I must mention that Xiao Yu is only in his thirties, but some gray hair has already appeared at his temples. To be more specific, he was heartbroken on the day he heard the bad news from the border, and when he went to court the next morning, the court officials noticed that his temples had turned gray.
So what was the terrible news he heard?
—The general is dead!
When the final report of victory over the barbarians on the grasslands reached the capital, Xiao Yu knew that Song Lan had been hit by an enemy arrow and was very worried, but he never imagined that Song Lan would close her eyes forever.
reason?
The soldier delivering the victory report only informed Emperor Wenzhao that the general had been hit by a poisoned arrow and fallen into a coma, but did not mention that he had stopped breathing.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wenzhao, disregarding his celebration with his court officials that the Great Xia army had finally eradicated the Tartars, immediately ordered his personal physician to lead several imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to the border camp at top speed.
Therefore, no matter how anxious Xiao Yu was, he could only suppress his unease and hope that Song Lan could hold on while the imperial physicians prepared the antidote.
That's right, Song Lan is indeed the Grand General. When she first arrived at the border, she led troops under the title of Junior General. Over the years, she has never suffered a defeat in battles against the Tartars, and her casualties have been minimal. Naturally, her position has changed.
Getting back to the main point, Emperor Wenzhao, seeing Xiao Yu's shocked yet barely concealed excitement, repeated what he had said earlier: "Our Great Xia has obtained a divine object, and this divine object was given to Great Xia by Marquis Zhanbei. I know how Prime Minister Xiao feels right now, but I guarantee that what I have said is true..."
In the vast imperial study, only Emperor Wenzhao's voice flowed slowly. He recounted to Xiao Yu what the Duke of Zhenguo had told him, and finally pointed to a pile of packages in a corner of the imperial study, saying, "If Prime Minister Xiao does not believe me, feel free to open those packages and take a look."
"Your Majesty, I naturally believe what you say!"
Xiao Yu bowed in response.
"Let's go take a look!"
Emperor Wenzhao said gently, "Marquis Zhanbei is a meritorious official of our Great Xia. Before rushing to the border to lead troops, she used her medical skills to save many people of Great Xia. After joining the army, she led troops in battle for several years without ever being defeated. However, just when she was about to win the last great battle to wipe out the Tartars, she was unexpectedly hit by an enemy arrow..."
His voice gradually turned sorrowful, and Emperor Wenzhao's expression became solemn: "Those damned Tartars actually smeared deadly poison on the arrows, and even worried that one poison wouldn't be enough to kill Zhanbei Marquis, so they used multiple poisons instead, causing Zhanbei Marquis to die before the antidote was successfully prepared."
Now the people of Great Xia no longer need to worry about the Tartar cavalry burning, killing, and looting; Zhan Beihou's merits are truly evident to heaven and earth.
I thought her life had ended there, but unexpectedly, our Marquis of Zhanbei was miraculously reborn in another world. To be honest, when I first heard the Duke of Zhenguo mention this, my reaction was no different from yours. But the fact is the fact: Marquis of Zhanbei is still alive, just in another world.
Seeing the happy lives of the people in that world, she couldn't help but think of the people of our Great Xia who were still struggling to have enough to eat and wear. So, she decided to send high-yield crop seeds and cotton seeds to Great Xia, hoping to improve the lives of the people of Great Xia.
I chose to tell you these things in advance because I thought you could supervise the Ministry of Agriculture to properly cultivate those high-yield crops... so as not to disappoint Marquis Zhanbei's good intentions.
Furthermore, I intend to build a shrine for the Marquis of Zhanbei. I wonder if Prime Minister Xiao has any objections?
