The Grand Princess Reigns Supreme, Your Servant Has Arrived Late

On the very first day Chu Zhao returned to the capital with her army, she crashed through the roof of the Eldest Princess’s residence.

She was the fiercest general on the frontier, strong enough to lift a massive bronze cauldron, but when it came to drinking... one cup was all it took to knock her out.

While investigating a traitor in the army, she snuck into the princess’s residence at night, only to encounter the Eldest Princess, who was said to be “dignified and virtuous.”

Xiao Mingli was lounging with her feet up, gnawing on chicken wings. Three empty wine jars sat beside her, and in her hand was a copy of The Domineering General Falls in Love with Me.

Chu Zhao: “...?”

What happened to her being powerful enough to control the court and deep in schemes?!

Xiao Mingli had known all along that Chu Zhao was investigating her.

She was the regent Eldest Princess, a master strategist who never missed a thing, except she had failed to account for one thing:

The female general rumored to be a “cold-faced demon” would get drunk, hug one of her pillars, and sing marching songs. She even insisted that the koi in the imperial garden were enemy spies!

Chu Zhao: “Your Highness, are you planning a rebellion?”

Xiao Mingli: “...Right now, I’m only planning to seduce you.”

★ The legendary “assassin turns into a drunken kitten” scene

Chu Zhao sneaks into the princess’s residence at night, only to be knocked out by plum wine. Hugging a roof beam, she cries, “Your subordinate would rather die than surrender!”

Xiao Mingli calmly instructs the guards: “Bring me one of my storybooks. She should be singing ‘Frontier Ballad’ soon.”

★ The “matchmaking banquet turns into a martial arts contest”

The Empress Dowager hosts a banquet to bring them together. Chu Zhao thinks she’s there to arrest someone, while Xiao Mingli thinks she’s there to test her.

The result:

Chu Zhao splits a watermelon with her bare hands. “Your Highness, is this melon ripe?”

The Empress Dowager: “Should I not be here right now?”
