After Traveling to the Tang Dynasty, I Became Er Feng's Thorn in His Side

Cheng Shang transmigrated.

The good news was that she had arrived in the relatively women-friendly early Tang dynasty and been taken on as a student by the famously accomplished Princess Pingyang. From then on, she went on campaign after campaign and built a great reputation. What? You want to know who the most dazzling young star in Chang'an is right now?

It's her! It's her! It really is her!

The bad news was that why on earth did the Heavenly Khan seem to dislike her no matter how he looked at her? Hadn't she done enough good deeds?

Wasn't curing Princess Mingda's illness a great deed?

Everyone: It was! A wonderful deed!

Wasn't discovering Minister Wei Zheng's hidden health problem in advance and adding fifteen years to the life of this outspoken, impartial remonstrator a great deed?

Everyone: It was! A wonderful deed!

And that's not even mentioning her later feats: drawing her bow in the northern deserts, riding her horse through Goguryeo, and conquering Europe... With such illustrious achievements, such great service, and so much painstaking effort spent expanding the Tang empire, what could Er Feng possibly be dissatisfied with? Surely the great General of the Heavenly Strategies isn't jealous that she can travel all over the world?

Just as Cheng Shang was racking her brains to figure out what she had done to offend Er Feng, someone tugged at the corner of her sleeve.

"A Shang, it's been so long since you came back to the capital. Would you take a walk outside the palace with me?"

Princess Mingda stood by the steps where the peonies bloomed, looking as lovely as a flower herself. Her gentle eyes met Cheng Shang's, making it impossible not to soften.

A moment earlier, Cheng Shang had been worrying that her "achievements" might overshadow the emperor. She had been planning to volunteer to go to the Americas, bring back potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and other high-yield crops, and curry favor with her boss. But before she could think it through, she blurted, "Sure!"

Er Feng, who had come to the imperial garden for a change of scenery: "..."

She's lured Mingda off to have fun again? Tomorrow I'll send that brat Cheng Shang to the frontier! This time, even if my elder sister and Wei Xuancheng plead until their mouths go dry, it won't help! I'll punish her by sending her to guard the great desert! Aaaaaah!
