Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, all the people of the capital lined up on both sides of the city gate to welcome the young princess back to the capital.
On that very day, an imperial edict was issued appointing the young princess as the Imperial Preceptor, and the entire nation rejoiced.
The day after her return, Su Muyao put on the imperial advisor's robes, which had been prepared long before she returned to the capital, for the morning court session. (?▽?)
The tailor-made official robes fit Su Muyao perfectly, and the emperor showered her with praise during the morning court session.
Most importantly, as the Grand Preceptor of a nation, Su Muyao naturally needed to command some soldiers. So the emperor waved his hand and gave Su Muyao 10,000 men.
All the ministers in the court unanimously believed that the young princess would become the second carefree prince in the future.
After all, she had already reached this position at such a young age, and she didn't care about any of the court officials.
Even the emperor, this little brat, dared to utter a few curses, surpassing even the carefree prince of that time.
The emperor didn't care what the people below were thinking; he knew that the little baby in front of him wouldn't be the next carefree prince.
Putting aside the fact that the young lady cares about the people, just considering her own and the Crown Prince's fates, she deserves this position.
If it weren't for this little bundle of milk, I would have been dead long ago. The one sitting in this position now would be that psychopathic Prince Xiaoyao.
After finishing the morning court session, the young leader, holding his token, led over ten thousand people in a grand procession toward the workshop.
Because of the hundreds of acres of fertile land and reclaimed land given by the emperor, and the many houses built after taking in refugees, there was simply not enough land to use.
Now, these more than 10,000 people have finally found a place to go.
The leader was named Zhang Jun, who had once been a subordinate of the Carefree King.
He simply couldn't stand the way the carefree king acted, so those of his rank had already been promoted long ago, while he remained a junior deputy general.
The little milk group quickly devised a new plan for them and even took out several crossbows from their space for them to practice with.
Everyone was very curious about these crossbows, and then they saw that the crossbow that the little princess took out was different from the ones they usually saw.
"Young Princess, what material is this made of? I have never seen anything like it before."
"This item was also a gift from my master, and I have no idea what it is made of."
The lieutenant was already convinced that this was the legendary, hard-to-obtain Xuan Tie.
If Su Muyao knew, she would definitely laugh herself silly.
"By the way, we'll decide whether to keep or discard these crossbows based on your future performance."
After Su Muyao finished speaking, she left. She had already handed over all the training methods to them. As for the final result, she would have to come back to check on it in a while.
If they perform well, she will naturally give them a huge surprise; if they are passive and negligent, then don't blame her for being impolite.
Just as Su Muyao had expected, everyone trained diligently.
They also realized that the system provided by the young princess was far more advanced than their own.
Time flies, and two years have passed before the results are released.
Xi Bao and Huan Bao both passed the imperial examination and became scholars, but when the results were announced, Su Xi Bao was slashed by the Prince of Nan with a sword.
The reason is simple: Prince Li Yu of the Southern Kingdom was just a little short of becoming a scholar, and the teacher said that if it weren't for Xi Bao, he would definitely have been a scholar this year.
The Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom was born to a concubine, but the Princess of the Southern Kingdom had no children.
Furthermore, after the concubine gave birth to Li Yu, she was elevated to the status of a secondary wife by the Prince of Nan. The Prince of Nan, having a son late in life, doted on him immensely.
Popular belief has it that the Prince of the South favored his concubine over his wife, showing her no respect whatsoever.
The Prince of Nan's father fought alongside the late emperor to establish the empire, and later repeatedly distinguished himself in battle, earning him the title of Prince Ping from the late emperor.
King Ping was old and had a son, but he passed away not long after. In the end, it was his wife who raised the son single-handedly.
The newly enthroned emperor, seeing the child's pitiful state, bestowed upon him the title of Prince of the South and granted him three southern prefectures as his fiefdom.
However, due to the Southern King's poor governance, so many corrupt officials emerged.
Just as Su Muyao went to Nanzhou for disaster relief, the Southern King was ordered by the emperor to return to the capital.
The young prince of the Southern King naturally returned to the capital together. At the academy, the young prince always disapproved of Xi Bao and Huan Bao, who were several years younger than him, being repeatedly praised by the teacher.
Now that they had both passed the exam, while he had fallen just short, he was so angry at seeing the person being supported by everyone that he picked up his sword and slashed at Huanbao.
Xi Bao was standing next to her younger brother when she shoved Huan Bao aside, and the young prince's sword struck Xi Bao's arm squarely.
Blood gushed out instantly, and all the students and teachers nearby were so frightened that they stood frozen in place.
There was a deep, bone-revealing knife wound on Xi Bao's arm, with a large amount of blood gushing out.
The teacher immediately went to fetch a doctor, but the doctor shook his head and only applied some simple medicine and bandaged the wound.
It means that the arm cannot be saved. After carrying her for so long, by the time Xibao was carried back, she was barely breathing.
When Grandma Su saw Xibao's appearance, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
Inside the Princess's mansion, in a chaotic state, Su Laoda went to fetch the doctor, while Qin Meijuan stood to the side, weeping miserably.
"Alright, everyone go out first. I have a way to ask my brother for help."
Everyone remained silent as they looked at Su Muyao's stern expression and withdrew.
After everyone left, Su Muyao locked the door from the inside and, with Xibao in tow, instantly appeared in the space.
When Xi Bao was placed in the spiritual spring water, her deep, bone-revealing wound quickly began to heal under its cleansing influence.
Then, they picked a seven-colored snow lotus from the snow mountain in the space.
The book records that the Seven-Colored Snow Lotus can regenerate human flesh and heal human bones. People outside the book believe that this thing exists and will think that it is the Seven-Colored Snow Lotus that has this effect.
After dragging her older brother out, she put him on the bed in the room. Looking at her brother's pale face, she squinted her eyes and clenched her little fists.
"Prince of the South, very good indeed."
Huanbao was crying uncontrollably outside, “It’s all because of me! That little beast was going to cut me, but my brother blocked it for me, boohoo.”
Xibao, you absolutely cannot get hurt. If anything happens to you, I'll give you my life.
When Grandma Su woke up and went to the eldest son's courtyard, she heard Huanbao's words.
He trembled. His children were usually very well-behaved and never caused trouble outside, yet they had been hurt so badly by someone else.
Finally, the door opened and everyone looked at Su Muyao. The little dumpling in front of them breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Brother is fine now. But he still needs to rest after bleeding so much. Cook some blood-nourishing food at home."
Everyone went to the room to see Xibao, and no one noticed that Su Muyao had left the Princess's Mansion and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.
Coincidentally, when they arrived at the Prince of Nan's residence, they just happened to see the young master about to enter the house from outside.
"Stop right there."
Hearing the babyish voice, the Prince of the South turned around and saw a little girl of six or seven years old.
"Hey, whose child are you? This young master doesn't care for such a small child, but since you're not bad looking, I'll reluctantly take you in. You can serve me when you grow up."
