    He had plotted and endured for years, all for that position. Now he was being asked to give it up… "Chu Qingci," his voice was hoarse, "Do you hate me that much?" "This subject doesn't hate Your Highness." Chu Qingci shook her head. "This subject just doesn't want… to be Your Highness's enemy anymore." Xiao Jue looked into her calm eyes and suddenly smiled. That smile was desolate and desperate. "Fine, I promise you." He closed his eyes. "The throne… I don't want it anymore." Chu Qingci handed him the porcelain bottle: "Your Highness keeps your word." Xiao Jue took the bottle, his hands trembling as he pulled out the stopper and swallowed the pill inside. The medicine worked quickly; in a short while, the purplish discoloration on his face faded, and his breathing became much more even. "Thank you." He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Chu Qingci, in this life… I owe you." "Your Highness owes this subject nothing." Chu Qingci stood up. "From now on, we're even." She turned to leave. "Qingci." Xiao Jue called after her. She paused, but didn't turn back. "If we could do it all over again," his voice was low and hoarse, "I would never… betray you." Chu Qingci remained silent for a long time, then softly replied, "Unfortunately, there are no ifs." With that, she pushed open the door and left. Xiao Jue watched her departing figure, the last glimmer of light in his eyes finally extinguished completely. He knew he had lost her forever. --- Three days later, the court assembly. This was the first grand court assembly after the palace coup, and the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy. Officials lined both sides, but no one dared to speak; all eyes were fixed on the woman below the imperial steps. Today, Chu Qingci wore the court robes of a first-rank Protector of the Nation's Lady, crimson brocade with gold, embroidered with cloud patterns and phoenixes, exuding an aura of authority beyond her years. She stood before the officials, eyes lowered, seemingly oblivious to the probing, fearful, or awe-inspiring gazes. "Announce the decree—" the eunuch's shrill voice rang out. "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Third Prince, Xiao Jing, plotted treason, murdered the Emperor, and usurped the throne; he has now been executed. Lady Chu Qingci, the Protector of the Nation, has rendered meritorious service in saving the Emperor and is hereby granted the title of First-Rank Princess Zhenguo, in charge of the Imperial Guards and the administration of state affairs. So be it." Princess Zhenguo? Administration of state affairs? The entire hall erupted in uproar. The title of princess had always been reserved for the Emperor's daughters. Chu Qingci, a woman from another family, had been bestowed the title of Princess Zhenguo? And was she to administer state affairs? Was this... Was she about to rule from behind the curtain? "Your Majesty!" An old minister couldn't help but step forward. "Although Miss Chu has rendered meritorious service in saving the Emperor, she is, after all, a woman. How can she manage state affairs? This is against ancestral rules!" "Ancestral rules?" Chu Qingci raised her eyes and looked at the old minister. "Lord Li, when the Third Prince forced the Emperor to abdicate, why didn't you mention ancestral rules? Now that the traitor has been executed and the court needs stability, you suddenly remember ancestral rules?" "I…I just…" "If Lord Li feels it's inappropriate," Chu Qingci interrupted him, "he may resign and return home. I will not force him to stay." Lord Li's face flushed red, but he dared not say anything more and could only retreat dejectedly. Seeing this, the other ministers also fell silent. Now that Chu Qingci had five thousand Chu family soldiers under her command and had the support of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, who would dare to oppose her? "Since no one objects," Chu Qingci slowly said, "from today onwards, I will manage state affairs. I hope all of you will assist me wholeheartedly to ensure the stability of the court." "We obey the decree," the officials responded in unison. The voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a heavy and solemn power. Chu Qingci raised her eyes and looked out of the hall. The sky was perfect, the rising sun casting golden sunlight on the majestic palace, making the glazed tiles gleam. She had finally reached this point. Holding power in the court and wielding military authority, no one dared to bully her. But she knew this was only the beginning. How many remnants of the Third Prince's faction remained in the court? How many vassal kings in various regions were still eyeing her covetously? How many foreign tribes in the northern border were still stirring? The road ahead of her was still long. "Court adjourned—" The eunuch's voice pulled her back to reality. The officials left the hall one by one, Chu Qingci leading the way. As soon as she stepped out of the hall, she saw Xie Yunlan waiting outside. "Princess," he bowed respectfully. "Young Master Xie, there's no need for such formalities." Chu Qingci glanced at him. "I've already arranged things for the Xie family. From now on, the Xie family will be the Chu family army's money bag. Are you willing, Young Master Xie?" "I am willing," Xie Yunlan said solemnly. "The entire Xie family will be at the Princess's command." "Very good." Chu Qingci nodded. "You will continue to manage the business in Jiangnan. But remember, from now on, all accounts must be submitted to Chu Qi for review." "Yes." Chu Qingci said no more and turned to walk out of the palace. Xie Yunlan watched her departing figure, a complex and inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart. This sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was now the Princess Zhenguo, in charge of the court and holding military power. And her journey had only just begun. --- The Princess Zhenguo's residence was located in the former Yan Prince's residence. Xiao Jue moved to a villa in the west of the city, and it was said that he stayed indoors all day, not seeing anyone. Chu Qingci did not disturb him, but simply sent some medicinal herbs and tonics over, as a final act of goodwill. That evening, Chu Qingci was in her study reading reports from various regions when Chu Qi quietly entered. "Miss," he said softly, "there's news from the Northern Border." "Speak." "The Northern Di court is in turmoil. The eldest prince killed the old Khan and declared himself Khan. He's declared he'll march south to the Central Plains to avenge his father." The Northern Di. Chu Qingci put down the report and rubbed her temples. Her father, Chu Xiong, had died at the hands of the Northern Di. Now, with the Northern Di in turmoil and a new Khan on the throne, his first act was to march south for revenge. Truly… a cycle of vengeance. "Who is the commander guarding the Northern Border?" She asked. "It's General Yang," Chu Qi said, "but he's old, and I'm afraid…" He probably couldn't withstand the Northern Di's iron cavalry. Chu Qingci remained silent for a long time, then slowly rose and walked to the window. Dusk was falling outside, and the city lights were just coming on. The capital city at night was bustling yet tranquil. But she knew this tranquility wouldn't last long. The Northern Di are advancing south, war is imminent. The court has just experienced a palace coup, and morale is low. The regional princes are also eyeing her covetously, waiting to see her fail. How long can she, the princess who protects the nation, hold her position? "Chu Qi," she asked softly, "How... How did Father die?" Chu Qi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The general was ambushed and pierced by a thousand arrows from the Northern Di. But... According to information gathered by the secret guards, someone leaked military intelligence." "Who?" "The Third Prince." Chu Qi's voice was icy. "He wanted to eliminate the general and weaken the Prince of Yan's power. So... He secretly colluded with the enemy." Chu Qingci clenched her fists. Sure enough. Her father, loyal and brave throughout his life, ultimately died because of the schemes of his own people. "Miss," Chu Qi asked worriedly, "you intend to…" "The Northern Border, I will go myself." Chu Qingci turned, a resolute glint in her eyes. "What Father couldn't accomplish, I will accomplish. The Chu family's grudge, I will avenge." "But what about the court…" "With the Empress Dowager in charge, there won't be any trouble." Chu Qingci walked to her desk, picked up her brush, and wrote a decree. "Issue the order: three days from now, the Chu family army will march north. I will personally meet that… new Khan." Chu Qi stared at the sharp handwriting on the decree, his heart pounding. Was Miss going to… personally lead the expedition? "Miss," he knelt on one knee, "this journey is dangerous, you…" "Even if it's dangerous, I must go." Chu Qingci put down her brush, looking north. "Some roads must be walked. Some grudges must be avenged." Outside the window, night deepened. A new storm was brewing in the north. And she was ready to face it.

    I initially thought it would be a typical son-in-law story, but the author has given the farming genre a fresh twist! The male lead's frustrating start with his mother-in-law's (diāonán, making things difficult for him), followed by his amazing transformation by building a high-tech greenhouse in the fields and brewing wine using ancient methods, is a thrilling journey. The author seamlessly blends everyday family life with business intrigue, and the female lead, gentle yet supportive, leads a sweet but not cloying romance. The most impressive aspect is the realistic farming details, from seedling cultivation to harvest, described with professional detail, making you feel like you're actually living in a paradise alongside the protagonist. The pacing is tight and concise, highly recommended for readers who enjoy lighthearted, comedic stories!
